“Because we learned about the nine-headed snake from you first, we indeed had the upper hand at first and also found their leader, Pierce.
But in recent times, the Cube was stolen by agents of the Nine-Headed Snake and they replicated energy weapons from World War II, leading us to be caught off guard.
Reluctantly, we had to retreat temporarily from the Tri-Curve Wing headquarters and hide in a safe house.
But who would have known that the safe house was already occupied by a squadron of Nine-Headed Snake's Winter Soldier agents, and we suffered a severe attack with heavy casualties, including Director Fury.
In the end, only us survived the pursuit of the Winter Soldiers, and with no choice, we had to seek your help."
Black Widow told George the general situation, including Nine-Headed Snake's Insight program.
The so-called Insight Eye program was originally a scheme concocted by Pierce to fool Nick Fury, involving sending three aerospace carriers into high altitude to monitor the entire planet and end all crimes before they even began—an ideal plan.
In reality, it was the Nine-Headed Snake following Dr. Zola's Zola algorithm, calculating all possible existences that could pose a threat to the Nine-Headed Snake, and using aerospace carriers to solve them before they had become strong enough.
Including later using aerospace carriers to deal with all countries that dared to resist the Nine-Headed Snake and unify the entire planet.
George had not yet spoken, but Captain Steve Rogers shook his head and said:
"You really shouldn't have pulled that thing out of the sea again!"
It was the Tesseract that allowed the Hydra to grow stronger, and he had firsthand experience of it.
Such a dangerous thing, according to his thinking, should be buried forever deep in the ocean, so that no one can find it.
"You're right, Captain. If it weren't for the Director wanting to research the Tesseract to create energy weapons, the Nine-Headed Snake would not have had the chance to steal it."
Coulson nodded after hearing Captain America's words.
Captain America was his idol, and what he said made sense. Moreover, he had indeed been skeptical of the Director's actions from the start.
Coulson felt that the Director sometimes took things too far.
"I don't think the Director is at fault. We were just a step slow. If we had developed energy weapons first, we would have won, and the Director wouldn't have died."
Another stern, middle-aged agent with a cold face bit his teeth and angrily refuted.
Coulson sighed after hearing this:
"John, I know you're deeply saddened by the Director's death, but... never mind. What's most important now is how to stop the Hydra's Insight program. There's no need to argue about what happened in the past."
John was one of his closest friends in S.H.I.E.L.D., who had accompanied him on missions with Nick Fury, who was both their supervisor and teacher.
So he understood John's feelings very well because he also felt very sad.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your names yet. How should I address you?"
Hearing John's name, George suddenly had a moment of pause, and then he smiled at the dozen unfamiliar S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and asked their names.
The middle-aged agent named John led the way and began reporting names.
"John Garrett."
"Grant Ward."
"Jemma Simmons."
"Leo Fitz."
"Alphonso Mackenzie."
"Barbara Molles."
"Goodness, no wonder you were ambushed and attacked; it turns out one of you is a Hydra agent."
After George heard all the names reported, he immediately flashed a cold smile on his lips.
He wasn't sure about the others, but John Garrett and Grant Ward, that mentor and apprentice pair, were firmly Hydra spies if he remembered correctly.
The expression of grief and anger just now due to Nick Fury's death was naturally fake, his acting skills were really good. If it weren't for his impression, he would almost be deceived.
Top-level spies, their acting skills are all top-notch, it's normal.
"George, there's a group of people near the school, they seem to be the Winter Soldiers they were talking about."
At this moment, Professor X placed his hand on his temple and transmitted to George the image he had just seen.
George's mind immediately appeared a group of fully armed, and their actions are much faster than normal people, with the Nine-Headed Snake emblem of the warriors, but these warriors had been lingering near the school due to their unconditional loyalty curse.
"It looks like there are two, oh, it might be more than two Hydra spies who left the traces that are pursuing."
"George, we need to act quickly. The Hydra has taken over the Tri-Curve Wing headquarters and obtained three aerospace carriers, which could be launched into the air at any time. By then, we will have no chance."
Seeing George's reaction after hearing the whole story, with no signs of surprise on his face and seemed to be taking his time, Black Widow began to urge him.
She and George were the most familiar with each other in S.H.I.E.L.D., and no one else wanted to anger George by urging him, so she had to do it.
On the other side, Hill and others also had worried expressions on their faces.
You're right, but before that, we need to eliminate some traitors first. Otherwise, anything we do later will fail."
George smiled and glanced at all the agents before looking at Garrett and said:
"Well, let's start with this Mr. Garrett, one by one."
George actually wasn't too concerned about the threat of the three aerospace carriers taking off.
Firstly, with the school's defense capabilities and him there to oversee it, the aerospace carriers would not pose a threat to the school unless they were to fire a nuclear bomb directly at New York.
And the fate of others doesn't concern him much.
Secondly, in his view, the aerospace carriers were not as powerful as the Nine-Headed Snake and S.H.I.E.L.D. had imagined. They were not a fleet of ten thousand ships; there were only three of them. The Earth was not as simple as they had imagined.
Not to mention the other things, but just consider the hidden Eternals. Would they sit idly by if they suddenly discovered aerospace carriers attacking them from above?
What else the Ten Rings, Ghost Riders, and Doctor Strange were on the list he remembered correctly.
The Ancient One would not allow Doctor Strange, the future supreme sorcerer, to die prematurely.
So if the aerospace carriers were to actually take off and launch an attack on all threats on the ground, he might not even have to lift a finger. Others might have already shot them down.
Lastly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to bring the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy out into the open.
The location of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy can be hidden, but the students of the academy will have to enter society life in the future and cannot be hidden.
Therefore, the existence of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy will inevitably be brought into the public eye and before the eyes of governments in various countries.
Let the Hydra cause more trouble, preferably to the point where all governments are in a mess and cannot deal with it, and then the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy can step in and solve the problem.
This way, the effect will be more striking, and the governments of various countries will understand the strength of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
