To the disappointment of everyone in SHIELD, Joker succeeded again.
And he has transported twenty-four members of the Fast Team and twelve S.H.I.E.L.D. agents without anyone noticing.
Neither Rumlow, who quickly arrived at the Vermont border, nor the police who rushed into the cabin of the freighter at Maryland Dock found even a single person.
Even the guard who was smuggling special items in the freighter was taken away along with the box containing the items.
This situation made everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. look at each other in bewilderment, feeling extremely stressed.
Nick Fury, on the other hand, maintained a sullen expression, posing in the hall with almost no emotion in his heart.
He didn't issue many orders, and no one expected him to do anything.
When an incident occurs, if you want to solve the mystery, you must investigate and find the joker.
Although the director is a non-African, he is not a psychic and it is impossible for him to predict where the Joker is just by speaking.
Everything still depends on the hard work of their subordinates!
With hatred for the Joker and concern for their colleagues, these SHIELD staff members were caught up in busy and stressful work.
Luke was not in a hurry to take action on the spot, of course he wanted to squeeze the surplus value of these people.
The bad guys who were sent to hell the first two times were actually arrested first and then tried, and the live broadcast was only started after they had no extra value.
We must find out who is Hydra among the more than 30 people this time.
Secondly, how many Hydra members they know, even suspected targets, is also important information.
Especially regarding the twenty-four members of the two fast teams, Luke and Nick Fury's judgments were basically consistent, and there would definitely be a lot of Hydra members among them.
He also had the same regret as Nick Fury—Rumlow didn't come.
He originally thought that Nick Fury would trick this guy over, but who knew that the other party was actually among the first group of people.
Although Rumlow was indeed lured to the border of Vermont later, Luke had no plan to surround and attack the reinforcements.
It's not that he wasn't prepared, but he absolutely couldn't take such a risk when facing SHIELD.
If he is not careful, the other party may send the aerospace carrier to Fortmont to ambush him.
This may be a bit exaggerated, but if we lower the standards, dozens of fighter jets, dozens of helicopters, and more than 500 mechanized ground troops are really not difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D.
No matter how confident Luke is, he would not be stupid enough to confront an organized ground-to-air coordinated force.
After this live broadcast, Nick Fury might still have some thoughts of capturing someone alive, and Hydra might have already wanted to blow the Joker to pieces.
It was the European branch that recruited Garrett into Hydra, so he is considered a relatively unique "snakehead".
So Garrett doesn't know who the higher-level Hydra in SHIELD is, and he's not even sure if such a person exists.
But several of the higher-ranking Hydra leaders knew Garrett.
Tempting Garrett to rebel was just a habitual behavior of Hydra. No one thought that this guy would really become the backbone of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. over the past decade.
Garrett is a very important part of Hydra's plan.
Even if he is thrown out as cannon fodder in an emergency and killed by Nick Fury, he can still delay S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while.
Now, such a useful and important chess piece is gone.
Ward is not that important, but he is also considered a future seed player for Hydra.
With the loss of more than ten people this time, Joker has already caused a big hole in Hydra's arrangement within S.H.I.E.L.D.
In addition, more than fifty low-level Hydra members were lost in previous sporadic attacks on agents.
Adding up these losses, Hydra's control over the Triskelion Headquarters dropped by at least 30 to 40 percent.
Without this 30% to 40% of control, many operations that could be carried out secretly from Nick Fury would become unsafe.
That's the trouble with secret service organizations.
If the control is even slightly low, problems can be easily detected.
Therefore, after Luke's magical (blind) manipulation (manipulation), Nick Fury and Hydra both felt that their current situation was a bit embarrassing.
Let both sides give it a try immediately, neither side is willing to do so.
If they don't take any action, the other side's strength will be restored.
…
Not to mention the complicated situation within S.H.I.E.L.D., Luke once again made great gains.
Most of the men in Rumlow's two teams are extremely evil, black and red, which means that each of them has at least 500 points.
After the performance, all these gift bags belonged to Luke.
Luke balanced the twelve agents with the twenty-four members of the Fast Team. The four equally evil people among the twelve agents were transferred to the Fast Team, and the eight least evil people in the Fast Team were adjusted to the side of the twelve agents.
After mixing the two parties in this way, two groups of guests were formed for the new trial game.
After all, there are too many people this time, and live broadcast needs to save time costs, so the dichotomy is undoubtedly the simplest.
Originally, among the twelve agents, there were six people who were yellow neutral, and killing them would result in point deduction.
It was too coincidental that all the Hydra members were going to die this time, so he simply exchanged some members of both sides to equalize the number of people in the two groups and confuse the audience.
While I was busy at home, Selina opened the hood of the remote-controlled chair not far away and sat up: "Okay, the two prototypes have been parked in the designated locations."
Luke hummed, "How's it working with Frank?"
Selina tilted her head. "It's OK. It's pretty simple. But he doesn't chat, not a word. I can't force him."
Luke laughed: "Think about it, what did he say during the Battle of New York?"
Some memories flashed through Selina's mind, and she nodded regretfully: "Indeed. Apart from the command and the response, there was not a single unnecessary word."
Luke: "They are professionals and will not play around during the operation."
Selina was annoyed: "You led me astray?"
Luke definitely admitted this, but he still said, "I was just trying to relax you. Don't you think about the first time you went out to beat someone up? You kicked the thug in the middle of the spot, and he screamed and frightened you so much that you retreated several meters."
Selina was furious: "I was just afraid of his excrement!"
"That's just saliva, not excrement." Luke: "Well, okay, maybe there's also a mouthful of phlegm. It's true that I led the way astray. How about we learn from Frank when we carry out missions in the future?"
Selina: "Are you trying to suffocate me?"
Luke: "Hey, let's do it as usual."
Selina nodded in satisfaction before raising another question: "Is Frank's skull helmet an imitation of Beidou? Well, it's not very similar though."
Luke: "He made it himself. But I asked him to change it slightly. It can't be the same as the skull on the chest of the new Punisher armor."
Selina looked strange as she looked at the video footage of the battle over there with Shadow Bear on her screen: "This... Bear, this can't be what Angel meant, right?"
"She said she couldn't think of one, so she asked me to help her come up with a look that isn't ugly but won't easily remind people of the King of the Iron Cage." Luke said confidently.
