If S.H.I.E.L.D wants to carry out any action, it must not be hidden from the World Security Council.
Otherwise, if Nick Fury, the SHIELD Director, could arrest people from various government departments and intelligence agencies in the United States with just one word, S.H.I.E.L.D would probably be targeted by countries all over the world the next day.
Fortunately, after Howard's investigation, it was confirmed that several members of the World Security Council were not members of HYDRA.
Otherwise, even if S.H.I.E.L.D wants to take action against HYDRA, the most they can do is use those HYDRA members lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D, as well as those HYDRA secret bases set up around the world.
S.H.I.E.L.D cannot deal with HYDRA members who have entered other government departments and are in high positions.
In fact, even if there were no members of HYDRA on the World Security Council, Fury spent a lot of energy to convince them to agree to this operation, and even had to make some benefits
To put it bluntly, although S.H.I.E.L.D's purpose of eliminating HYDRA is good, in the short term it has had a very bad impact. The impression of the entire United States government in the minds of the people will inevitably suffer a certain degree of damage. .
This is absolutely unacceptable for a government whose most important goal is to pursue votes and support rates.
So in order to facilitate this operation, S.H.I.E.L.D and Howard also lost a lot of money.
Nick Fury promised that he would help these congressmen convert Thaddeus E. Ross, General Ross, who previously used the super soldier serum and turned his future son-in-law, Dr. Banner, into the Hulk.
This guy seems to have become smarter after that lesson, and has embraced the members of the World Security Council.
Now that it's time for an exchange of interests, lawmakers are asking Nick Fury to use his connections to help Ross move up a level in the political house of cards in the United States.
Not only that, Howard also needs to mobilize the resources of Stark Industries after the operation is over to help these congressmen boost the economy and employment in places where the parties behind them hold votes.
There were other more exchange conditions that I won't mention. In short, with the determination of Howard and Fury, the operation to eradicate HYDRA was finally approved by the World Security Council.
However, even if the operation is approved, it is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D to carry out arrest operations on a large scale, otherwise they will not be able to control the public opinion situation at all.
So this time the elite agents from Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D need to appear.
According to the original plan formulated by Howard and Fury, Hill, Phil Coulson, Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Steve, and Tony would each lead a team. The team members would be screened by Howard to ensure that 100% of them were not members of HYDRA. agent composition.
Each team must use the shortest possible time to secretly bring the personnel on the list to the secret prison that S.H.I.E.L.D has prepared according to the list of personnel assigned to them by Howard.
After these high-level personnel placed by HYDRA in government departments have been dealt with, that is the best time for them to launch a large-scale operation to wipe out HYDRA bases around the world.
However, after Fury told everyone about the entire plan, Tony stood up and opposed him.
Regarding the plan formulated by Howard and Fury, Tony had no objection to the plan in terms of the overall framework. The main conflicts were still focused on some details.
Tony could not trust the other agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., even if they had been tested by Howard.
So Tony's plan was to replace those agents with the Iron Soldiers he designed, with Ultron commanding to complete the operation.
After all, in Tony's understanding, people may still betray, but the machine will definitely strictly implement the orders given to it.
But Tony's idea was opposed by everyone else on the bridge, especially Fury and Howard. From their point of view, if these agents that have been investigated cannot be trusted, then even if HYDRA is eradicated, what is the point of S.H.I.E.L.D?
Will all the tasks that S.H.I.E.L.D receives in the future be handed over to the steel soldiers designed by Tony?
But in this case, what is the significance of the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D? Not to mention that the World Security Council will never accept Tony's plan, because Tony's approach is equivalent to raising an army that belongs entirely to him in New York City.
The final result is that it is absolutely impossible for Howard and Fury to compromise, and in front of Howard, the son, what kind of trouble can Tony, the son, make? If there are signs, Howard will have to suppress them.
However, although Tony's proposal was rejected, Howard still cared about his son and left him a special privilege. That is the team that Tony is in charge of. They can all use the steel soldiers of his own design, but the number must be limited to twenty.
Tony definitely accepted this result, otherwise Tony would not dare to say "no" in front of Howard.
After the meeting, Steve met with Howard alone for a private conversation. His purpose was not only to learn more about Bucky, but also to ask Howard if he could help Paige get a magic weapon that gave the wearer Self-healing Ability.
Regarding Paige, Howard did not refuse. Although this matter is more difficult, Howard will try anything shamelessly for the sake of his old friend Peggy.
And it seems that he was negligent at the time and did not take Peggy's situation into consideration. If he couldn't get the magic weapon from Loki, Howard had already thought about it and would transfer his magic weapon to Peggy.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area." But as soon as Howard picked up the phone, he heard the operator's voice prompt.
"Not in the service area? Did he really go to Mount Everest?" Howard muttered, looking at the phone in his hand.
