Natasha wasn't surprised by Shen He's response.
She looked at Shen He, hesitating slightly before asking, "In the future you saw, what was my ultimate fate?"
A special agent with blood on her hands, hoping to atone for her sins.
It sounded ridiculous, but that was precisely why the Black Widow worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.. She believed that dying while protecting the world was the best punishment for herself.
"I don't know," Shen He shook his head. "In the last disaster we observed, many heroes sacrificed themselves, but you survived. Therefore, we don't know your fate, but there is no doubt that your actions are no longer those of an agent simply following orders. That's why I trust you."
Shen He spoke sincerely.
"What else is there to say?" Natasha was silent for a moment and then suddenly smiled. "Do you need me to tell you where Fury is?"
"Haha," Shen He laughed heartily. "Of course I know where that old fox is, and what he's doing. And I don't think he would tell you his location. He doesn't trust you like I do."
"You really do know us well." Natasha seemed to relax slightly, looking at Shen He with a hint of a smile. "If you were pursuing me with this level of understanding, I might have fallen for you quickly."
To say such a thing meant that this top-tier agent, skilled in acting, already considered Shen He a friend.
"I have a lover."
Shen He waved his hand, turning his attention to Steve beside him. "You should be more concerned about Captain America's love life. I'm starting to wonder if our hero has completely given up on women, and his heart is set on his Bucky."
"Have you forgotten," Steve said helplessly, spreading his hands, "that you were the one who told me my girlfriend was already married?"
"Uh." Shen He choked.
"Is that true?" Tony looked at Shen He. "You did the most cruel thing in the world."
"It was a necessary evil." Shen He looked at Steve, who seemed to have recovered from the heartbreak of the breakup, and immediately clapped his hands. "But in the view of Chinese People, everyone needs a complete family. Steve, if you don't have a goal, I'm going to publicly post a matchmaking ad for you on the virtual reality website."
This was a sudden idea, but Shen He did have this plan.
Because he believed that a happy family would make people stronger.
"Aren't we here to discuss serious matters?" Steve was a little taken aback. "What's the specific plan?"
"Alright, let's get down to business then."
Shen He sat up straighter, and with a gentle lift of his hand above the table, a huge virtual projection appeared around everyone. It was a 3D model of the entire New York.
"Originally, according to Chaldea's style, we also like to hide in the shadows and secretly solve things, but unfortunately, the disasters in your world come one after another, linked together, and relying solely on us cannot minimize the sacrifices and destruction to the greatest extent. So, this is the reason why we are establishing a force."
"And the next plan is to let Chaldea's reputation spread throughout New York."
Although Shen He had considered shifting the battlefield of the aliens to other places, there was a very important problem: energy.
Only the Arc Reactor in Stark Tower, currently being built by Tony, can provide the initial energy to open the space-time portal.
Furthermore, without any crisis, Chaldea's status and achievements cannot be highlighted.
"What exactly do you want us to achieve?" Steve asked.
"To the point where your evacuation announcements are heeded by all civilians." Shen He paused, then added, "You have only two months, and your numbers are limited, so at the very least, I require you to have this influence within the Manhattan area."
Coulson and Natasha listened quietly; they were still unaware of the alien threat.
Even Steve and Tony knew only a limited amount; Shen He had concealed a lot of information.
"That's difficult," Steve considered for a moment, then emphasized his words, "It's near impossible. People in one place will inevitably have many different voices. Even that person in Germany back then couldn't ensure that all the people would willingly obey his orders."
Because he was called a hero, Steve knew very well that these two words would bring not only glory but also considerable controversy.
"Steve." Shen He's gaze was fixed on Steve. "Every effort you make could save more people, but no one can save everyone."
Even if he revealed everything, captured Loki in advance, and prepared the energy before shifting the battlefield to an uninhabited area, it would only give people a sense of detachment, even emboldening the government to more recklessly disregard the lives of heroes and deploy nuclear weapons.
Therefore, Shen He still chose to let the Battle of New York play out.
Sacrifice is undoubtedly painful, but it also allows people to grow.
All he could do was reduce the sacrifices as much as possible, not save everyone.
Of course, these were things hidden from Tony and the others. Pure heroes wouldn't consider things so deeply; they would sacrifice everything to save everyone.
"I understand," Steve slowly exhaled.
If he thought he had already done his best, then facing sacrifice would be easier, just as it had been in the wars he had faced before.
"No need to worry too much," Shen He said, trying to sound relaxed. "The virtual reality company will give us their full support. That's one of the reasons we're building our forces. Besides, we have Tony's Iron Legion. Maybe not a single civilian will have to sacrifice themselves."
Hearing this, Coulson and Natasha gradually started to figure things out.
"Who's the enemy?" Natasha asked. "Hydra? What kind of world-destroying terrorist attack are they planning this time?"
"Hydra is just a bunch of annoying rats," Shen He shook his head. "I'll give you the relevant files after the meeting. They're classified. Coulson, don't scare our young people by leaking it."
"Don't worry, sir," Coulson nodded. "I wouldn't be a Level 8 agent if I couldn't keep a secret."
"So, let's discuss some details," Shen He opened a notepad on the virtual projection. "I have only one policy: we can't let Chaldea and S.H.I.E.L.D. become detached from the masses. We don't need to hide, nor are we above them. We must focus on listening to the voices of the people and make them recognize us as their protectors, to make them feel close to us."
In a country like this, if you secure the hearts of the people, combined with the operation of capital, you can even influence politics.
Although in the Marvel world, the so-called masses are utterly insignificant in the face of powerful individuals, even cosmic civilizations are the same. But, it can save a lot of trouble and concentrate power and resources on individuals.
所以Shen He還是比較重視民心.
這場會議持續了很長時間.
會議結束之後,整個Chaldea正式進入戰爭準備階段.
而Steve和Natasha也開始對Wanda和Skye他們進行應急訓練.
Shen He逐步分出精力放到漫威世界的勢力發展上面.
很快的,他又一次攢到十顆召喚石了.
有活動就是比鹹魚期爽一些,每天兩顆,五天就可以召喚一次十連,截至目前為止,活動開始半個月,他已經一共獲取三十一顆召喚石.
從副本中來之後,直接點擊十連召喚,然後略帶期待著等待著一個接著一個的物品從召喚中飛出.
"Only one guaranteed four-star."
Shen He felt he'd been a bit unlucky lately.
But this four-star seemed to be exactly what he needed.
Name: Messiah VF-25F
From: Macross F
Evaluation: Variable fighter mecha. The F type is a high-mobility battle type, allowing free combat in space.
Although it's only a single-person, small-scale mecha without wormhole jump capabilities, it's still a space fighter. It should be useful in the upcoming alien war.
Speaking of which, Shen He stared at the mecha. He seemed to have never drawn any items similar to artificial intelligence.
This was actually what Shen He was questioning.
For example, if he drew 2B, would she be considered a Servant or Equipment? If she was a Servant, the matter of enhancement was difficult to say. As an artificial intelligence, 2B undoubtedly possessed physical qualities far superior to humans. It was hard to imagine how to level up based on the enhancement level. Could they enhance the alloy's hardness? But if she was considered Equipment, she undoubtedly had her own self-awareness.
In the fantasy works he had read before, there were quite a few artificial intelligence machines similar to 2B.
Forget it, let's see if there's a chance to draw something similar in the future. Shen He finally gave up thinking.
He eventually gave this four-star Equipment to Tony to see if he could replicate it.
Shen He now had Evil Spirit Possession. He didn't have much need for this kind of mecha weapon. At most, it was just a means of transportation to enter space.
Three days passed.
Wanda and Skye's training time was interrupted by Coulson, who came in a hurry.
"This is the sixth major fire in the same area this month," Coulson said, standing in front of Skye and the others in their tight-fitting suits, holding the mission briefing. "There was a half-month gap between the first and second fires, but the next three occurred with increasing frequency and in the same area. We suspect this is the work of a registered S.H.I.E.L.D. ability user."
"But, Coulson," Steve couldn't help but interject, "they're not even trained yet."
"Practice is the fastest way to train."
A woman's voice suddenly came from the side. It was Jeanne, dressed in a Chaldea robe, her long, golden braid concealed within the robe.
"These are the Master's words. The Master has asked me to assist you. Please, accept my guidance."
