Chapter 508 Undercurrent
"So, General, you are saying that under the system of modern society, Canada was actually invaded by a mysterious organization called the SCP Foundation in such a humiliating way, and forcibly occupied a military base that originally belonged to us ?!"
In the Parliament Building in Ottawa, Canada, members of rival political parties stretched their necks like fighting roosters, staring at the general in front of them and questioning loudly.
"Mr. Congressman, on this point, the SCP Foundation is not a..."
Inside the Capitol, the general took a deep breath, tried to ease the stiff expression on his face, and opened his mouth to make an excuse.
"I don't need your explanation, I just want the answer, tell me whether what I said is true, General!"
After waving his hand to interrupt the general's explanation, members of the opposition party glanced at the general's seat, and the new prime minister, Justin, who had a serious expression on his face, asked pointedly.
In fact, for members of the opposition party, they don't care about what happened in the military base at all, whether it is the SCP foundation or the huge monster that the general said is like a fairy tale.Anyway, even if something goes wrong in the end, what needs to be faced is the current ruling party and the current Prime Minister Justin.
What he cares about is how to accumulate enough political energy for himself by undermining Prime Minister Justin's prestige through the immediate incident.
"Damn MPs, these short-sighted fellows!"
It is clear that the threat posed by the [Holy Lord] to Canada is close at hand, but this group of damned politicians still have the leisure to hold a so-called parliamentary vote in the Capitol.
The general kept cursing the congressmen in the building in his heart, but on the surface he had to continue to respond in accordance with the parliamentary procedures: "Yes, the facts you said, Mr. Congressman, do exist, but..."
"Okay, thank you General for your honest answer."
After interrupting the general's words again, and getting the answer he wanted, the members of the opposition party immediately made an expression of victory and signaled the general to go back.
Facing the member's apparent use of himself as a political cash machine, the general was filled with anger, but he had to swallow his anger and walk back again.
"As far as I know, General, why didn't you take countermeasures as soon as the military base was occupied, but let this SCP foundation take the military buildings on the sacred territory of Canada as its own, I have the right to suspect that you have the possibility of negligence in it?"
However, before the general returned to his seat, a congressman got up and asked his own question.
Everything that happened in the Capitol made the general feel physically and mentally exhausted. Facing a series of interrogations was more difficult for him than a war.
Trying to calm his emotions, the general stood up again and replied: "It is absolutely impossible, Mr. Congressman. In fact, I had already issued an order to counterattack as soon as the base was occupied. However, the power of the SCP Foundation is stronger than I thought. Thinking more powerfully, they not only created a dense fog that is difficult to see with the naked eye, but also built a high wall in the base in just a few hours to isolate all exploration."
"According to what you said, General, this SCP Foundation is an organization with extraordinary power similar to the Avengers?"
"So to speak, Mr. Congressman."
"So, tell me, General, what is the reason for this super organization similar to the Avengers to appear in Canada?"
"..."
The questioning of the MPs from the opposition party obviously hit the core of the whole issue, and the other side obviously came prepared.
Faced with this spiritual question, the general's expression froze for a moment, and his eyes barely touched Prime Minister Justin behind him, and finally chose to remain silent.
"I can't say anything about that, my lord, as it's a matter of confidentiality."
"Very well, in fact, even if you don't say it, General, I understand that as far as I know, the culprit of all this is our Prime Minister, Mr. Justin, because our Prime Minister is trying to use the North Atlantic The giant creature made its own super soldiers, which caused everything to happen, I don't know if what I said is correct, General?"
"Sorry, no comment, Mr. Congressman."
Facing the aggressive attitude of the congressman, the general had to choose silence again.
"very good."
However, it is clear that the general did not know that his practice indirectly became a favorable answer to the parliamentarians.
"Actually, Mr. Speaker."
Seeing that the situation was developing in an increasingly unfavorable direction under the guidance of the opposition party, Prime Minister Justin had to stand up and answer: "The facts are not what the congressmen said. I don't know what happened at the military base." and I think that instead of continuing to entangle on this issue, what Canada needs to do most is to think about how to deal with the threat of the SCP Foundation occupying military bases and giant monsters.”
"Okay, then follow what the Prime Minister said."
After more than three hours of verbal confrontation, the speaker of the Capitol obviously believed that such an approach had fully demonstrated the model of 'democracy', so he pretended to be silent for a while and immediately made his own judgment: "Then follow the The initiative of the opposition party will be voted on, and all MPs will start the voting agenda."
Seeing that the farce in the Capitol was finally over, the general didn't show any joyful expression on his face.
Because he knows that the next vote will unfold all night.
The precious time obtained by Dad sealing the [Holy Lord] will be wiped out in the so-called 'democratic' voting in Canada.
Faced with such a result, Prime Minister Justin was also very helpless.
In fact, it is not that he has not thought of directly bypassing Congress to respond by means of an emergency order, but his idea has just emerged, and the opposition party that has prepared it has responded.
It is precisely because of the relationship between [Holy Master] returning to the stone statue that Prime Minister Justin lost the most crucial reason to persuade the parliament, and finally had to attribute everything to a 'democratic' vote under the pressure of the opposition party.
Helplessly wasting the most critical time in the parliament.
"It's over, it's over."
Inside the Capitol, the general watched the politicians who started their voting agenda on their own, with a look of helplessness on their serious faces.
Now, he can only pin everything on the scp foundation occupying the military base, hoping that everything will really contain the giant monster as [Dominique Butch] said.
……
"Your mission this time really brought us a huge 'surprise', Captain!"
New York, inside the Avengers Building.
Faced with the information brought back by Steve and Natasha, the expressions of Tony and others were obviously not very good.
Even if they were prepared for such a result, the information Steve and the others brought back still far exceeded the scope of preparations for Tony and the others.
"In other words, there are only three days left, and we will see a huge monster [Holy Lord] over a hundred meters raging in Canada?"
Taking a deep breath and sorting out his thoughts, Banner pushed the glasses on his face and said.
"As a matter of fact, there are not three days left."
Frowning, Natasha corrected the time in Banner's mouth.
"Maybe we should look at all this from a more optimistic perspective."
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the Avengers Building, Falcon couldn't help but calm down and said: "If the information the captain said is correct, the SCP Foundation has already started the work of containing [Holy Master], and perhaps the final result is that the Foundation It will successfully contain the [Holy Lord], and maybe we don’t need to take action.”
"If things really develop according to what you said, it will naturally be the best result."
Hearing Falcon's analysis, Nick Fury, the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director who had been silent all this time, glanced at the people in the Avengers Building with his only remaining eye, and vaguely reminded: "However, I always think that things are not the same. It will be as simple as that."
Nick Fury trusts his intuition, and it is because of his intuition that he survived the crisis decades ago and prevented the earth from falling into the worst.
At the same time, it was also because of that experience that Nick Fury became what he is today.
"Nick Fury was right."
His eyes lingered on the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although Tony didn't agree with many of Nick Fury's actions, this time he clearly agreed with the other party's position: "We can't put all hope on the line." Putting it on the SCP Foundation, especially from the description of the containment expert Long from the Foundation, the containment process of the Foundation is not all smooth sailing, on the contrary, they often fall into crisis because of containment tasks."
"Besides, we're the Avengers, everyone."
Inside the Avengers Building, Tony glanced at the Avengers and said slowly, "It's our mission to protect the earth."
In order to deal with the crisis brought by the [Holy Lord], Tony can start preparing as early as the [Spell] event, Ultron is part of his plan, although from a certain angle, Tony hopes that his preparations will never be Used that day, but apparently, that hope has been dashed.
"Everyone, although I don't want to interrupt your unity time..."
Just as the Avengers are preparing for the upcoming battle.
In front of the computer, Agent Hill, who had been working silently, spoke and interrupted.
"However, I have some news to tell you right now."
"Report the news, Agent."
Hearing Agent Hill's report, Nick Fury subconsciously returned to his identity as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"First of all, on the part of Canada, I think there is no need to get hopeful about it."
After receiving Nick Fury's order, Agent Hill first mentioned the reaction from the Canadian side where the incident occurred: "According to the current developments, Ottawa is starting a parliamentary vote to decide whether to take military action against the SCP Foundation that occupied the military base. According to Ottawa's traditional practice, the voting process will last all night, which means that even if the Canadian side takes action, it will not take until the next day."
"What an efficient parliamentary decision."
Tony was obviously not too surprised by Canada's reaction, shrugged and said mockingly.
"On the other hand, the White House seems to have known the information about the SCP Foundation and [Holy Lord] in the Canadian base, and is evaluating whether [Holy Lord] will cause damage to the United States. If so, the White House will directly use military means to target the The [Holy Master] at the Canadian base launched long-range strikes, and even the person in the White House has already indicated that the option of nuclear weapons is not lacking in the means he will use!"
The news about the White House brought by Agent Hill obviously put a lot of pressure on the Avengers.
Based on their understanding of the White House, if [Holy Lord] really shows a threat to the United States, the topic of nuclear weapons is not a joke.
After all, for the United States, as long as it is not a war on its own soil, it doesn't matter how many people are sacrificed. Anyway, these sacrificed people have no votes.
"Please tell the White House that the Avengers will not let this happen. We will work hard to resolve everything. I hope Mr. President remains calm and restrained."
Facing the overreaction of the White House, Steve immediately spoke to give his position through Agent Hill.
Nodding, and conveying the position of the Avengers represented by Steve to the White House, Agent Hill opened his mouth to deliver his last and most important message.
"Finally, there is another message from a Canadian military base, that is, a military base occupied by the Foundation. It is the information delivered by Mr. Long."
Following the voice of Agent Hill, she reached out and pressed the button on the keyboard, and then a photo of the interior of the military base was projected in front of the Avengers.
"This is?!"
Looking at the photo in front of me, the first to react were Steve and Natasha who had sneaked into the base.
In their eyes, on the base that had been turned into ruins due to the battle of the [Holy Lord], a brand new building was erected on it to surround the [Holy Lord] who had turned into a stone statue, and there were a large number of people around the building. Personnel in research uniforms are conducting research on 【Holy Lord】.
"Judging from Mr. Long's information, it seems that the Foundation has begun to try to contain [Holy Lord], and they are trying to use the power of [Containment Object] to deprive [Holy Lord] of the most critical [rat charm] in the body. If If the containment process goes smoothly, the Foundation will store the sealed stone statue transformed by the [Holy Master] directly into the Foundation after stripping out the [Rat Charm], to prevent it from breaking free from the seal again."
"How about it, it seems that what I said is correct, maybe the result really can solve all this smoothly without the Avengers' action."
Inside the Avengers Building, Falcon looked at the news from [Uncle Long], then raised his eyebrows and smiled.
