On the other side of New York, Spear Game Special Agent Shang Qi and Li Qianhuan had now become the special agents for communication between S.H.E.L.D. and Spear Game.
Due to various reasons, the relationship between China and the United States had been in a state of antagonism for a long time. Even though the relationship had eased in the past 30 years, the open and covert fighting had never stopped.
Everyone was smiling on the surface, but stabbing people in the back was a common practice.
Therefore, the relationship between the two largest intelligence agencies in the world, Divine Shield and Divine Spear, was also very subtle. The origins of these two organizations must be mentioned here.
The two intelligence agencies, Divine Shield and Divine Spear, originated from the ancient Holy Shield Brotherhood, which was founded after the first mutant invasion in 2,600 BC. The earliest leader was the only Egyptian leader who became a god with the body of a mortal: Imhetep.
Under the assembly of Imhetep, the Holy Shield Brotherhood integrated elites from all aspects of the East and the West. Whether it was the smartest scientist, the wisest philosopher, or the most elegant artist.
Including all other outstanding talents in human society, after undergoing and passing the test of the Holy Shield Brotherhood, they would have the opportunity to join this extraordinary organization.
When the time came to the Han Dynasty in China, the position of leader of the Holy Shield Brotherhood had passed to China's most outstanding scientist and writer at the time, Zhang Heng (78 AD –????). In his hand.
He was the only person in the Holy Shield Brotherhood who was able to pick up Imhetep's spear and talk to the gods at the same time.
Before Zhang Heng stepped down as the leader of the Holy Shield Brotherhood, he held a temporary meeting. The Holy Shield Brotherhood decided to store the two holy relics, the spear and the shield, separately instead of concentrating them in the hands of one leader.
At this point, the Holy Shield Brotherhood had two different sacred realms. The Holy Shield was stored in Europe, stored in the Immortal City under Rome. The spear, on the other hand, was stored in China. As for where it was stored, that was top secret.
The formation of S.H.E.L.D. was driven by Tony's father, Howard Sr., and the specific reason was because of the destruction of the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield (this story was mentioned in the previous article on the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield).
Spear Game was founded earlier than S.H.E.L.D., but it wasn't called that in the beginning. And this organization may have more secrets than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.
At the very least, most of the internal members of S.H.E.L.D. weren't aware of that hidden history, nor were they aware of the truth that the big shots in history had purposely hidden.
Now, apart from the fact that Captain Rogers had joined the Illuminati and learned of the existence of the Holy Shield Brotherhood, as well as the hidden history, did anyone else in S.H.E.L.D. know Howard Stark's purpose in pushing for the establishment of S.H.E.L.D.? Maybe One-Eyed Nick knew, but Captain Rogers couldn't guarantee that Nick knew everything, especially now that he was arrested.
However, Captain Rogers had a feeling that the two agents of Spear Game knew more than the average S.H.E.L.D. agent.
Especially when he heard Coulson say to him, "The girl (Li Qianhuan) said something about the shield being broken or something. I didn't understand what she meant."
Perhaps Li Qianhuan had blurted this out carelessly, but would a specially trained agent really blurt out such an important matter? If this girl spoke so frankly, would Spear Game send her to the United States?
Captain Rogers felt that this might be a test by the other party, but he didn't know if this test was good or bad.
Since the two agents of Spear Game now became the liaison between the two intelligence departments, then S.H.E.L.D. needed to arrange a long-term place for them to live. Instead of living in a hotel all the time, the confidentiality and security were too low.
But they couldn't be arranged in the staff dormitory of S.H.E.L.D., which was a bit against the rules. So Hill arranged a residence for them in Long Island, not far from where Captain Rogers lived, which could be regarded as half monitoring their activities.
So the task of taking them to their new residence was also handed over to Captain Rogers.
"This community is very good. It's safer and more private." Captain Rogers took the two to their new home.
"And I live nearby. If you need anything, you can find me at any time." Captain Rogers seemed to say casually, "After all, the spear and the shield are two sides of the same coin."
"Yeah, we're all in the intelligence business, but we work for different people. But when it comes to dealing with terrorists and other human threats, we still have a common position. "Shang Qi responded to Captain Rogers with a smile.
But what he said was a little ambiguous. It seemed that he said something, but it also seemed that he didn't say anything. Captain Rogers still didn't quite understand the Chinese's way of thinking.
Maybe next time he should let Nightcrawler and Professor Xavier analyze the meaning of these people's words? They could always catch the little movements in people's minds in their words.
Since Shang Qi didn't intend to say anything, and Li Qianhuan seemed to be tight-lipped now, Rogers knew that he couldn't get anything useful out of him, so he had to leave first.
After Steve Rogers left.
"Boss, why didn't we tell S.H.E.L.D. that Tony Stark might be killed in the first place? No matter how accurate the news was, for the U.S. government, even if there was a ten percent chance, they would use 100 percent of their strength to protect Tony Stark. After all, he's too important to the U.S. government. "Li Qianhuan sat on the sofa and looked at Shang Qi, who seemed to be thinking about something.
Li Qianhuan's words interrupted Shang Qi's thoughts, and he said, "Because of many reasons, including politics and so on."
Li Qianhuan felt a headache when he heard about politics. "What politics?"
"Although the Arc Reactor mastered by Tony Stark is very useful, the cost is too high. Few people can afford to use the Arc Reactor as an energy source, except for important buildings or headquarters facilities of super large companies and consortiums, and some special high-end laboratories. "Shang Qi found a comfortable place for himself to sit down.
He and Li Qianhuan just checked the house and there was no wiretapping equipment in it. Hill was not stupid. He knew that even if he installed any wiretapping and surveillance equipment in this house, the two agents would find it, so he simply installed nothing to show his sincerity.
After making sure that there was no threat of eavesdropping, Shang Qi could tell Li Qianhuan some things.
"For ordinary people, especially ordinary factories that produce products with low added value, such as jeans and slippers, the burden of Ark Energy is enough to bankrupt them. Although the energy itself can lower the price, these companies can't afford the cost of the initial transformation. "Shang Qi pointed to New York City outside the window.
"Look at New York, the most prosperous city in the world. Now that so long has passed, and under the premise that Stark Industries has carried out new energy infrastructure transformation at cost price, only the busy areas of Manhattan and the headquarters of a few super consortiums can afford to use the Arc Reactor." Shang Qi was telling the truth.
"And the successful ignition of Suiren 1 heralds a huge breakthrough for traditional nuclear power plants. Our technology may not look as sophisticated as Ark, but it's cheap. With relatively few modifications to traditional infrastructure, we can make existing basic power supply equipment use the energy produced by the Suiren Nuclear Power Plant. This is a lot cheaper than Tony Stark completely eliminating the old infrastructure and replacing it with a new one. "
"Tony Stark's design is good, but sometimes he doesn't consider the actual cost of use. Not all countries can afford to play with him. "
Li Qianhuan nodded after listening to Shang Qi's words. "I understand all this, but what does this have to do with not telling S.H.E.L.D. this news?"
"This is politics! Qianhuan. " Shang Qi smiled helplessly. "If we had just told S.H.E.L.D. the news directly, then we wouldn't have anything to do. We can't let S.H.E.L.D. be the good guy. If we win Stark's favor, a lot of things will be easier in the future. Including priority use of the ark spacecraft and so on. "
"But what if we couldn't save Tony? This plan is still very risky, and Tony might have died on the spot. "Li Qianhuan was still a little confused.
"If he's really going to die, then we can only let him die." Shang Qi's tone was a little heavy. "That's politics. We can't choose. Now that we have the Suiren Nuclear Power Plant, we have a certain amount of capital. For some big shots, maybe Tony's death is more in their interest. "
Li Qianhuan's mouth slightly formed an O shape. "But, but Latvia …"
"If Tony dies, do you think Latveria will be able to protect itself? Right now, the five permanent members of the United Nations haven't launched a real full-scale war against Dum because they still have Tony Stark. If Tony dies, the Helium-3 project will be shut down, and Latvia's peaceful days will come to an end. The United Nations army will trample every piece of land in Eastern Europe and turn Latvia into a scorched land! "Shang Qi sighed after saying this. Politics can sometimes be so cruel.
Li Qianhuan also sighed deeply. Her previous contact with Tony Stark left a good impression on her. Although his reputation wasn't good, she still had to admit that Tony was a charming man.
Shang Qi rested for a while and was about to go out. Li Qianhuan asked, "Where are you going, boss?"
"I'm going to catch up with my fellow disciples," Shang Qi replied.
"Who?"
"The weakest iron fist in Kunlun history, Daniel Randall."
