The destruction of the three Sky Carriers only affected their engines and most of their weapon systems, leading to the failure of Project Insight.
Even after falling from the sky, many parts inside remained largely undamaged.
In essence, all the remaining electronic equipment on these three Sky Carriers fell under Shimizu's control.
If anyone wants to continue using these three Sky Carriers in the future, they will only be doing him a favor.
"Steve, everyone on the three carriers has high-altitude survival equipment like parachutes, so you don't need to worry. But this person..."
"He's my friend, Wot, Bucky, a former member of the Howling Commandos. I think you must have seen his information in museums or something."
Captain America resolutely carried Bucky on his back.
"I know, but you have to think about others. Although he was controlled by Hydra, many people have died at his hands over the decades, like your other old pal, Howard, and his wife. I found out after hacking into Hydra's internal network data.
You have to think about Tony."
Steve Rogers' expression immediately became complicated.
Bucky was his childhood friend, and they practically grew up wearing the same pants. He was also the most trustworthy comrade on the battlefield.
Howard was also a good friend he met during the war, providing the strongest support for his Howling Commandos. Without Howard, he wouldn't be where he is today.
His shield was made by Howard. Howard even personally piloted a helicopter to help him rescue Bucky when they risked their lives to penetrate deep into enemy territory.
It's impossible for Steve Rogers not to feel guilty at this moment.
But given his personality, it's also impossible for him to abandon Bucky.
"The carrier is about to sink. Let's go down first."
Steve changed the subject.
"Alright."
Shimizu casually opened a portal back.
At the same time, Black Widow, disguised as a member of the Security Council, along with Nick Fury, publicly released information about Hydra and ., as well as a list of Hydra members, on the internet worldwide, and arrested Alexander Pierce.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, Chicago.
The President, who had originally planned to inspect the new industrial zone there, looked apprehensive as he shook hands with Shimizu's shadow clone.
"Mr. Wot, I, on behalf of all the American people, thank you for your contribution to the peace of this country."
President Yvonne Stone firmly shook the shadow clone's hand.
Beside him was Vice President Miguel Rodriguez, who had lost his voice, ., the Vice President controlled by Vanguard Technologies and Hydra.
Further away were the dismantled War Machine, more than a dozen personnel who had controlled the President, and some police officers from the Chicago Police Department who Shimizu had temporarily called over, ostensibly to assist, but actually to witness.
It's worth mentioning that some of the presidents in this world match up with those in other worlds, such as Franklin, Roosevelt, and Lincoln, but many do not, such as Yvonne Stone and his deputy Miguel Rodriguez.
In some timelines, the president is that black man, and the vice president is some old guy.
"Mr. President, you're too kind. I'm a citizen of this country, and also the highest taxpayer. I don't want this country to be thrown into chaos by some people. If that happens, my wealth and I will definitely be greatly affected."
Shimizu said to President Yvonne with a businesslike fake smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wot, I owe you a favor, a big favor. If you need me to speak up for anything in the future, I will do my best to help you achieve it."
President Yvonne also smiled, with a hint of profound meaning in his tone.
Saving his life was one thing, but as a top politician, he was more aware of Shimizu's value.
As a superhero, a super-rich man, and a scientist who has saved countless disabled people and brought great changes to American society, the identity of Clear Wot is quite popular among the American people.
He has a little more than two years left in his term. Because he has already served two terms as president, he has no hope of re-election, but he also hopes that his party will win in the next election, and preferably someone he has put forward who can inherit and affirm his politics.
Having the support of someone like Shimizu can bring great help.
"There will be opportunities, Mr. President."
Shimizu said with a smile, then turned his head to look out the window.
Because he helped, Tony Stark was able to repair his armor, track down clues, and eliminate enemies much faster than he could have done alone.
Therefore, this most expensive fireworks display in history, worth tens of billions and formed by dozens of Iron Man suits, did not have the backdrop of night, thus losing some of its color.
However, the blooming of this fireworks display also represents the destruction of Killian's Extremis virus army at this moment.
The shadow clone silently sent a message to the main body at this moment.
After receiving the message, the main body raised his eyes and glanced at Nick Fury in front of him.
"What do you think of my suggestion?"
Egghead looked at Shimizu, who had walked out of the electric light armor, and said.
"Don't worry about whether it's good or not. Lend me some reliable people to protect the president, and then get some more professional intelligence personnel. I need some help with something."
Shimizu paused and added:
"It's serious business, very important serious business."
Nick Fury agreed very readily.
"I know, I just received the news from Chicago about the president. Coulson, leave the matters here to Hill to preside over. By the way, call the Captain. With him here, the President should believe he is safe. For intelligence, Natasha, take Sharon and the remaining members of her team and go with Wot."
A few minutes later, after handing Bucky over to several . agents for detention, a worried Captain America walked into the portal and began to protect the president.
Shimizu then took Black Widow, Sharon Carter, and several . agents and walked into the portal.
"This is the headquarters of Vanguard Technologies. What do you want us to help you find? The Extremis virus formula?"
Natasha tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, holding a tablet and quickly searching for information on it, while asking questions.
Not only her, but also Sharon Carter and other agents were doing the same.
As the intelligence network of Hydra was infiltrated by Witt Olsson through the backdoor left by Nick Fury, a large amount of information within Pioneer Tech, an enterprise inextricably linked to Hydra, was also grasped by Shimizu.
"That's right, you guys are very professional at finding things, which saves me a lot of trouble."
While speaking, Shimizu opened a portal to the Osborn Laboratory.
At this time, the place was heavily guarded by Osborn's security group and Witt Olsson's weapon defense system, with Pepper Potts sitting anxiously on a chair waiting.
On the other side, Connors, whose arm had recovered, was working with Maya Hansen to study the Extremis virus, trying to find a way to crack it.
As soon as the portal opened, Pepper's eyes lit up, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed when she didn't find Tony next to Shimizu.
"Where's Tony?"
"He's fine, but he just spent a hundred billion or so to set off a firework and send Killian to meet God. Dr. Maya, I need you to assist in the investigation of Pioneer Tech, and it would be best if you could cooperate with them to bring all the valuable information and equipment here."
Shimizu said to Maya Hansen.
The latter breathed a sigh of relief.
With Shimizu doing this, Pioneer Tech and Killian were finished, and she was safe.
......
This whole day, the upper echelons of American society were in turmoil.
The existence of Hydra implicated too many people and things, and even within forces like the FBI, CIA, and the military, there were a large number of Hydra members lurking, including some who had reached high-level positions.
At this time, the importance of the President and Captain America was highlighted.
The former was the leader in the military and political fields, and the latter was the spiritual leader in the hearts of Americans. Only when the two were together could they integrate their forces in the shortest amount of time.
With the support of the military-industrial group represented by Shimizu, and the addition of the remaining important agents of ., at least Washington and New York, the two important core areas of the north and south of the United States, were stabilized at the fastest speed.
If these two places didn't have problems, then the subsequent other places wouldn't be able to cause too much trouble.
The next day, afternoon tea time.
"Are you really not going to reconsider? Now that . has been purged of the tumor that is Hydra, you should be able to trust us a little more."
Nick Fury, wearing a black leather coat, sat in the living room of the Waters Manor and said to Shimizu.
"The person I don't trust is you. Of course, I also know that the reason you want to pull me in is because you don't trust me."
Shimizu took a sip of coffee and said to Nick Fury.
He had already grasped a lot of important information about . through Witt Olsson. He knew exactly what Nick Fury had done and what .'s backup plans were. There was no way this black guy could trust him.
'I knew it.'
Nick Fury sighed.
"You and I are the same kind of people, with conspiracies and ambitions. In any case, we will not trust each other."
A question mark appeared on Shimizu's head.
When did I become the same kind of person as you?
"But the key is that . is already very difficult to continue existing."
Nick Fury said to Shimizu.
"The Hydra affair is too involved, and . has made such a big mistake. Whether it's the United Nations Security Council or the high-level officials in the White House, they all believe that since . can't fulfill its due responsibilities, then there's no need for it to continue to exist, and it should be replaced by other newly established organizations."
Shimizu touched his nose.
"So you came to me to secretly rebuild ., planning to use me as a financial backer? Stark is richer than me, and more righteous, and easier to deceive, you should go find him."
Although Shimizu's total assets have further developed compared to the beginning, they have not reached the trillion-dollar level.
And Tony Stark recovered a large number of shares after Obadiah's death, and successfully guided the transformation of Stark Industries with energy technology, and the market value further expanded and increased. His current total net worth has reached two hundred billion.
"No, I have a better method, and you are more suitable than him."
Nick Fury took a sip of tea and frowned.
He couldn't get used to this kind of tea.
"You just said Stark's shortcomings, he's too righteous, too emotional, although he's very smart, but because he's always too trusting of others, he's easily deceived.
But Waters, you are different from him, you are insidious enough, cunning enough, always unable to give others one hundred percent trust, good at hiding secrets, plus wealth and power as a bonus, you are the most suitable candidate I have chosen."
Isn't it?
"Are you praising me or scolding me? How dare you assert that I am such a person?"
Shimizu looked at Nick Fury with unkind eyes.
"Do you have a secret hidden so deeply in your heart that you can't tell anyone no matter what?"
Nick Fury asked.
"Yes."
"Then in this world, is there anyone who can make you willing to give something, including all your wealth, power, reputation, and life?"
"Uh... no."
"You went from an ordinary second-generation rich with only a few billion in assets to becoming a top 15 richest man in the United States in two years, and you created today's situation with various technologies and industrial layouts. You planned it all by yourself, right?"
"It seems... yes."
Shimizu touched his chin.
Am I really such a person?
That's not right!
The reason I can be where I am today is because I integrated the technological resources of multiple worlds, because I know the development direction of the times, because I have a cheat!
"Then you are looking for someone like me, is it for..."
"You are as excellent as me, Waters, so you are the most suitable person to be the next director of . after me."
"I rarely see someone as shameless as you."
"Thank you, you too. This is one of the necessary conditions for serving as the director of . If you're not thick-skinned, it's difficult to get money from the Security Council."
Damn!
Shimizu felt like he was being scolded by Nick Fury.
"Why me? You know what I mean, for you, wouldn't it be a better choice to choose someone like Coulson and put them in the position of the new director to secretly rebuild "
"You really thought of the same thing as me, but if you can directly get official recognition and support during the reconstruction, that would be much better than building it secretly."
The New Year is coming soon, I wish everyone good health, a prosperous year, single pulls with miracles, and consecutive pulls without bottoming out!
