Due to the timely stop of the launch of the three insight space carriers, the image of S.H.I.E.L.D did not plummet like the movie.
However, the betrayal of senior S.H.I.E.L.D such as Alexander Pierce, Michel Carson, Sitwell, and S.H.I.E.L.D still hurt S.H.I.E.L.D.
Not surprisingly, the World Security Council also questioned the leadership team headed by Fury.
Even if this war was finally won under the leadership of Fury...
Those politicians sitting in the office did not see the serious consequences of letting HYDRA win.
They only saw Fury's great dereliction of duty as SHIELD Director.
Why has HYDRA been lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D for so many years, as the director, he has not noticed it?
Why has such a huge amount of intelligence resources, more than hundreds of billions of dollars in funding each year, failed to uncover HYDRA early?
In a way, Fury is indeed dereliction of duty.
If it hadn't been for Leon to remind him, perhaps the end of this war would end in the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D...
In any case, the HYDRA matter has finally found an excuse for the Security Council, which has always been very dissatisfied with Fury.
With the help of the forces behind, the board of directors held a committee meeting in private, and wanted to take the opportunity to launch an attack and evaluate Fury, the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.
To put it bluntly, I just want to take the opportunity to lift this one-eyed marinated egg from the position of the SHIELD Director...
. . .
A few days later, the Capitol in Washington ushered in this important internal meeting.
And before the meeting started, in the waiting room next to a meeting room in the north wing of the Capitol, a slightly complaining male voice suddenly sounded:
"Speaking of which, why should I attend this meeting?"
In the waiting room, two men sat opposite each other.
One is a black suit with a black blindfold on one eye, SHIELD Director—— Nick Fury;
Sitting across from him is Leon, who also wears a black suit.
However, Leon At the moment's face was unhappy.
Originally, he had made an appointment with Wanda today to go to Disneyland together.
However, before going out, Fury drove a helicopter to pick him up, and insisted that he attend the meeting together.
It is no wonder that he will put on a bad face.
After all, he is more willing to stay with his sisters than the elders...
Pretending not to see Leon's unhappy face, Fury said to himself:
"The council guys just want to find an excuse to see if they can kick me out. What's more, I don't care about the council..."
Cursing his mouth, Leon took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and lit it.
Holding the cigarette in his mouth, he took a deep breath and spit out the clouds. After completing this series of actions, Leon went on to say:
"You didn't answer my question at all...Don't play dumb riddles, just say anything."
"Do you know? The longer you stay in this position, the more people you offend and those who can't understand me..."
Fury just finished speaking, Leon's complaint, hit the nail on the head: "Isn't it because you applied for too much funding?"
"Uh…"
Faced with this big truth, Fury was speechless for a while and was speechless.
"Look, I got it right?"
In order to prevent Leon from continuing to make up the knife, Fury immediately changed the subject:
"It's not important! The important thing is that I have been working for the position of SHIELD Director for more than ten years. I suddenly began to think, whether doing this by myself is right or wrong..."
Hearing this, the smile on Leon's face couldn't help but curtail a little.
From Fury's words, he heard a touch of complexity and confusion.
While talking, Fury got up from the seat and came to the window, leaving only a bleak back, facing Leon.
The voice that couldn't hear the emotion sounded again:
"Pierce is right on one point. I am indeed a cruel and ruthless person. In order to achieve my goal, I did a lot of things that I should not do at all costs, but I have never regretted it."
"But, as it turns out, I was wrong..."
As soon as the voice fell, Fury suddenly turned around, stared at Leon quietly, and continued:
"HYDRA is growing under my nose, but I haven't noticed it at all. If it weren't for you, everything would not go so smoothly, and the losses suffered by S.H.I.E.L.D would be more than that."
"Although I am a little unwilling, but, I think, I may be old..."
Listening to these words of Fury, Leon's face no longer had the initial discomfort, and some were just serious and serious.
Leon was a little surprised that Fury would say such close-hearted words.
After all, Fury is not the type who likes to share his inner feelings with others.
However, when he saw the "Friendship: Intimacy" displayed on the top of Fury's head, he was immediately relieved.
Planning a plan to deal with HYDRA together, so that Fury's trust in him has reached a very high level.
In Fury's eyes, Leon is like a junior who he values very much.
It's not abrupt to say something to your heart.
Thinking of this, Leon stood up, came to Fury, put his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely:
"Others, I don't know. But, one thing, I can be 100% sure, you are not a cold-blooded person..."
Hearing this, Fury just felt warmth in his heart, and was suddenly lost by Leon's next words:
"At best, it's just a one-eyed old man who puts on a stinky face all day and likes to play dumb puzzles."
Resisting the urge to punch Leon, Fury shook off his hand angrily, and instead placed his hand on Leon's shoulder, staring closely at the blue eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Look into my eyes and answer me, if you were me, would you protect people at all costs?"
Faced with this question, Leon did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before raising his head, looking directly into Fury's eyes, and replied:
"As long as it's worth it!"
After taking a deep look at Leon, Fury let go of his hand, and left a sentence intentionally:
"Remember what you said."
Seeing Fury walking out of the waiting room, Leon couldn't help whispering:
"God is mysterious..."
. . .
After spending half an hour in the waiting room, the two arrived on time in the conference room where the committee's internal meeting was held.
The board members were also a little surprised by Leon's appearance.
However, what makes them even more surprised is yet to come.
Without waiting for them to attack and question Fury's dereliction of duty, Fury took the lead and said what they wanted to say:
"I, Nicholas J. Fury, from At the moment, resigned from the role of SHIELD Director!"
