Any country's control over nuclear weapons is extremely strict and confidential. Even if Pierce has nuclear missiles in his hands, there is no way for him to quietly steal a nuclear bomb. However, not long ago, he was surprised to find that someone was selling nuclear bombs on the black market, and he ordered Hydra to try to contact the other party.
After understanding and secret investigation, Pierce learned that during the 1991 Gulf War, an Israeli F22 fighter plane crashed in the vast desert of Iraq. Afterwards, the coalition forces conducted a long search, but did not find any valuable clues. .
And that plane actually carried a small tactical nuclear bomb.
Now the wreckage of the plane and the nuclear bomb have been unintentionally dug up by local farmers in Iraq. Unfortunately, they didn't realize what they were digging up. Instead, they sold it as scrap metal to a black marketeer for 199 greenbacks, and the black marketeer sold it for 10 million.
With this nuclear bomb, Pierce's plan has taken a big step forward, but it still needs a key item.
The detonation principle of a nuclear bomb is similar to that of ordinary explosives. They both require a detonator. However, the detonator of a nuclear bomb is very special and cannot be just made and used.
Therefore, Pierce secretly contacted Irving, the world's largest arms dealer, hoping to purchase the detonation device through him. However, Irving's team was not clean inside, and James planted a mole. Fortunately, the national ministers were all Pierce's people, so he immediately forwarded this information to Pierce, who then found a way to leak it to Irving through other channels.
But despite digging out the mole, Pierce didn't expect that James would activate the "Mission: Impossible" team and kidnap Irving directly in the Vatican. In desperation, he could only secretly attack the escort team again and rescue Owen.
By this time, Pierce had realized that Irving had been completely exposed to James's sight, and it was no longer possible to secretly obtain the detonating device from Irving. So he simply used Irving as bait to deliberately attract the attention of James and others to China, while he obtained the detonating device through another channel.
Now that the nuclear bomb and detonation device are in hand, the next step is the main event. In order to confuse the enemy, he also deliberately smuggled in two nuclear physics experts from abroad. In fact, Pierce never directly detonated the nuclear bomb from the beginning.
The Minister of National Affairs is also a veteran of Hydra, an extreme fanatic of Hydra's philosophy, and a superpower. However, he was not born with abilities, but was transformed by the former leader of Hydra, the Red Skull.
His ability is to absorb energy, store it in his body, and then release it. However, the greater the amount of energy he absorbs, the shorter the time he can store it, and the greater the consequences for his body.
However, the national minister is ready to sacrifice himself in order to achieve Hydra's ideals. According to Pierce's original plan, a fake nuclear bomb was used to attract other people's attention, but in fact, the national minister was allowed to complete the final blow.
As long as the national minister self-destructs, the absorbed nuclear bomb energy will be released instantly, causing traces of a nuclear bomb explosion, and directly killing the sitting president of the United States.
The U.S. mainland was subjected to a nuclear attack and the president of a country was killed. At that time, the people of the country must be very angry, and they must demand that the top officials come up with an explanation as soon as possible and then retaliate. Pierce then activated internal agents lurking in Russia, creating the illusion that Russia was conducting large-scale military mobilization, and tempting the United States to target Russia in retaliation.
By that time, the relationship between the two countries will definitely be in an extremely tense state, and then as long as Hydra drops a match on this pile of firewood... For example, let the Russian submarine attack the American fleet, or the American aircraft bomb the Russian If there is a military base on the other side, then World War III will definitely begin.
However, when Xie Lun intervened, the whole plan changed.
First of all, the national minister shouldn't talk so much nonsense. He will just blow himself up when he is in the competition venue. As for why he had to stay in the car and chatter with President Robert, his purpose was just like those big bullshit villains in movies, just waiting to give the protagonist a chance to make a comeback.
Of course, the protagonist cannot be anyone else, it must be Xie Lun himself.
In front of President Robert and other agents, Xie Lun controlled the flying sword, led the minister of state to fly quickly towards the seaside, and quickly disappeared from the horizon.
At this time, there was a rumble of engines in the air, and a Ray fighter jet fell from the sky. Before the plane was stabilized, Black Widow led the agents out of the plane and shouted to the Secret Service agents who were on guard with guns: "We are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and we have been ordered to protect the safety of Mr. President. "
To be honest, President Robert was frightened by the minister's attack and became a little nervous and distrustful of everyone. Black Widow suddenly appeared like this, so he naturally wouldn't let them get close to him. And without the president's order, these agents will naturally not put down their guns.
But Black Widow also saw President Robert. Although he looked a little nervous, he was at least alive, which made her relieved.
If President Robert is assassinated, then this matter will really become a big deal.
At this moment, a dazzling light group suddenly appeared in the distant sky, as if a second sun had appeared. And the world between heaven and earth fell into darkness, as if all the light was absorbed by the sun.
"Nuclear explosion!"
The agents did not hesitate to push President Robert to the ground and protect him.
The sun quickly dissipated and turned into a huge rising fireball. At the same time, a powerful shock wave swept over. Fortunately, the explosion point is far away from here, and there are rugged hills here that are slightly blocking it, so the shock wave has degenerated into a strong wind by the time it reaches here.
But even so, everyone was blown away and couldn't hold their heads up. President Robert, who was protected by the agents, was even more frightened. At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "If Sherron had not taken the national minister away, if he was in front of him If it explodes, what will happen to me? Will I be wiped out like my National Security Advisor and Secret Service Director?"
Thinking of this, President Robert was full of gratitude to Sherron and couldn't help but worry.
I wonder what Xie Lun, who took away the national minister, is like now, and whether he can survive the nuclear explosion.
The shock wave came and went quickly, and the strong wind soon dissipated.
The piercing air raid siren finally sounded over the city, and the National Guard, who received the emergency signal for help from the presidential motorcade, also arrived. Armed helicopters flew in from a distance, and on the highway, a mighty armored convoy came rushing towards them. Forming a circle around the hillside, heavily armed soldiers disembarked from helicopters and armored vehicles to form a basic defensive position.
"How are you doing, Mr. President?"
William braved the strong wind whipped up by the helicopter propeller and ran quickly to President Robert.
Perhaps because it was Sherron who came to the rescue just now, President Robert now has a subconscious trust in the NIA. Seeing William appear, President Robert was obviously relieved, grabbed William's wrist, and said urgently: "What's the situation now? ?”
William frowned and said: "This is not the place to talk. Mr. President, according to emergency management regulations, you must now transfer to Air Force One."
