Chapter 1390 Compromise and Participation (Two in One)

In the center of the Balkan Peninsula, the Gunsan Airport two kilometers away from the Latovinia Orbital Tower is busier than usual.

This newly built military airport is responsible for most of the take-off and landing missions of Latvinia's Air Force military aircraft. This time, in order to escort important items that will be transported to the Yugoslav Federation, the entire airport is not only brightly lit as usual, and all anti-aircraft firepower is activated. A company of genetically modified warriors has been arranged to patrol within a few hundred meters of the airport. All departments that want to use this airport must undergo more stringent review. Not only are the armed forces sent by the emperor ready, but the armed forces from Mars are also willing to lower their heads and cooperate with the genetically modified warriors, storing walking tanks belonging to the Ranger Cavalry into nearby defensive fortresses and handing over command and control personnel. All because the important samples obtained by Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 are about to arrive at the airport.

Even the senior generals of the Confederate conventional army could not fully know what was about to land at the military airport. However, the military still followed the instructions of Regent Victor von Doom and sent troops to blockade the valley and prepare for air defense. Weapons such as missiles are ready to respond to possible emergencies. When night falls, the clear sky allows the observatory to clearly observe the atomic fires shining in the sky.

Since the emperor truly sat on the throne of the Balkans, the climate of the entire Balkans has changed accordingly. Even the catastrophic climate caused by global earthquakes and volcanic eruptions a few months ago failed to really affect this land. The real reason is known only to the emperor and the regent. This is an extreme measure that has to be taken to solve the local food crisis. In order to cope with the upcoming global disaster and supply chain interruption, the Balkans must hoard a large amount of food.

The light at the top of the atmosphere is fleeting.

About thirty minutes later, a dark giant aircraft landed at the military airport escorted by a large number of "Eraser" fighter jets. As soon as it landed, the Zephyr 1's ramp plate didn't even have time to be lowered. The genetically modified warriors and roving cavalry who had been prepared rushed over in armored personnel carriers. There were still residues on the Zephyr 1's ablative armor. There is red-hot residual heat from friction with the atmosphere, and the engine is still emitting heat.

As the emperor's representative, Amon also arrived at the scene on a hoverjet motorcycle and witnessed with his own eyes the arrival of Epsilon-Rodney-Ra223 and the captured alien bionic mechanical samples at the airport, and then handed them over to the specially set up facility for this purpose. Research institute. Many earth scientists recruited by the emperor and the new subordinates of Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 formed this agency. Computer deep learning, mechanical bionics, gene editing, energy, quantum communication and other fields spanned many fields. Academics from departments and disciplines participated in the handover process.

They didn't completely know what was special about the handed over samples, but anything related to aliens on this planet was now a hot topic for research. The emperor must have summoned them because their expertise was needed to study the samples. I am also willing to sacrifice my freedom in exchange for this once-in-a-lifetime research opportunity.

Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 proudly walked down the ramp of Zephyr 1. Behind him, several roving troopers carried two heavy metal "coffins". A large number of thick cables and data lines passed through the interface. It is connected to the objects inside the "coffin" and continuously imports data to the data terminal on the side. Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 did not expect that she would be able to receive such an honor at first. She also did not expect that Mars would welcome her with such fanfare after receiving the news. This made her a little worried about her future research projects. position in the group.

Even if he is insensitive to political struggles, Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 knows that this is not a good thing. She was able to name a list, and the names on that list were all from Mars, where she had no harmonious relationship with the melting pot - the word "melting pot" in Mars refers to a complex of research institutes, factories, and universities. Sage. Those who had better mechanical and biological implants and higher seats in the Olympus Data Exchange Center would most likely try to rob her, a low-level researcher, of the technical secrets she was about to master. Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 has seen the future clearly. If she wants to protect her research results, she can only rely on the emperor's power.

Epsilon Rodney Radium 223 now wants to have a chat with the commander of the guards to figure out how he should talk to the emperor. Guardsman Amon sent the order to her data terminal. The Emperor wanted to talk to her, and in private, without letting the Magi of Mars know that they had communicated with each other. However, Constantine did not return with Epsilon-Rodney-Ra 223. The Yugoslav Federation instead led its soldiers to stay at the lighthouse base to rest and recuperate.

After the lighthouse base was captured, it became a safe gathering place for Latvian military forces. Constantine greeted Agent Coulson at the entrance of the base. Although he was shocked by the current situation at Lighthouse Base, Agent Coulson quickly calmed down and figured out why the Emperor's troops didn't just leave - both sides knew their own bottom line. Agent Coulson will never allow the U.S. government to know the location of the Lighthouse Base. No matter how much he trusts Jeffrey Mace, he will never hand over all his trump cards, because if the U.S. government wants to plot against S.H.I.E.L.D. There would be no way for him to survive, not even if Jeffrey Mace agreed to accommodate past S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Those politicians absolutely want to find out all the secrets held by SHIELD and find out how many officials' secrets Nick Fury has. On the contrary, the emperor, who seemed to be an enemy, had room for negotiation with him, because both parties had a common goal and could sit at the negotiating table and have a good discussion. Enemies with a bottom line are far more reliable than capricious allies. Agent Coulson fully understands this truth, so he plans to have a good talk with Constantine.

The First Secret Regiment set up security gates to check whether attendees were carrying weapons.

Agent Coulson walked through the security gate, and as expected, his mechanical prosthetic hand was discovered. Leopold Fitz integrated many functions into that prosthetic hand. When the First Secret Regiment used another instrument to examine it, they found a large number of mechanical parts that were not bionic functions. Agent Coulson had to remove them. Only mechanical prosthetics can walk into the simple conference room transformed from a temporary residence.

The Rangers played the role of engineers, creating independent circuits and ventilation systems, and shielding the electromagnetic waves from the outside. This also caused the room to look like a newly built rough house. Agent Coulson didn't have much communication with other SHIELD agents before he was brought here by the Guard Commander, the First Secret Regiment sergeant and the Ranger Cavalry. It seemed that the other party was worried that he had complete information and proposed more information at the negotiation table. Multiple conditions.

"Your master told me that he intended to give me a mission."

"Yes. My Lord told me that the reason why he has been protecting your safety is to let you participate in this mission." Constantine looked to the side of the negotiation table. The Immortal Enoch sat calmly on the chair and did not react at all when facing Agent Coulson's gaze. Hearing Constantine's words, Agent Coulson inevitably thought of the Tahiti Plan and the Emperor's involvement in it. Perhaps from that time on, the Emperor had already begun to make plans, but no one could understand his plan at that time, not even Nick Fury.

"I think he can fully explain all the detailed goals of this mission." Constantine did not sit down. He was the only person still standing in the conference room. "My Lord told me that he has told you that the task is to cross time and space, but the person who initiated this task was not my Lord, but him." He pointed to Enoch, "This task is related to the future and past of mankind, so You have to complete the mission and ensure the stability of the timeline."

"So who are you, sir?" Agent Coulson asked.

"I am Enoch, from the planet Chronyca-2 in the constellation Cygnus. I was sent to Earth 30,000 years ago to observe the evolution of species. I have witnessed all the history of human development and evolution, and witnessed the occurrence of many extinction events. Perhaps I was After being produced, it was put on the earth, but it is undeniable that in the process, I gradually recognized the efforts of the human race to survive, so I am willing to destroy the premise of not interfering with the development of the species to help humans." Immortal Man He said calmly, "This violates the regulations of all immortal observers and the idea of ​​a superior race that created the immortal race, but the thirty thousand years I spent on earth occupied all my data caches. Now I am with Nick Fury had a deal, and the Lighthouse Base has been my base of operations for the past few decades. I have the authority to use some of SHIELD's resources, and in this way I have established several companies that have nothing to do with SHIELD. Contact the private security company for mission assistance."

Agent Coulson fell silent.

Seeing this, Enoch continued to explain. He tilted his hairless head, and all the nasolabial folds on his forehead were squeezed out. "My main component is plastic alloy." He said, "The advanced race that created the immortals designed us to have an extremely long service life. My energy and parts are enough to support me for long-term activities. I do not have an emotional model. Group, not all immortals, my help to humans is only for the purpose of observing the smooth progress of the project."

"Are you an android?"

"I am a machine, not flesh and blood. There are few machines in this universe as advanced as I am."

Agent Coulson looked at the commander of the guards. The golden-armored giant did not respond, as if he was acquiescing to Enoch's statement.

Although he did not accept these facts so quickly, Agent Coulson still came up with a solution in his increasingly dry brain. "Then let my people out first." Agent Coulson breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the back of the chair. "If this mission is really related to the life and death of the human race, then we must be prepared accordingly." He said, "I have to figure out how we are going to time travel, and I also need the scientific research department to work. This is your As required, this mission must be foolproof."

"I have prepared everything, Agent Coulson." Enoch said, "Now I just need to wait until all the agents who must perform the task arrive at the lighthouse base. Now I also have a deal with the Emperor of the Balkans, and this will A contract brought by a genetically modified warrior who was forcibly elevated to the highest level of human evolution. He will assist me in this mission. Although he cannot directly participate in the mission, the possibility of completing the mission with his help is much higher than S.H.I.E.L.D. acts alone.”

Agent Coulson looked at the Guard Commander in confusion. "What does it mean?"

"It means that we need you to persuade Agent Alfonso McKenzie, Agent Daisy Johnson, Agent Elena Rodriguez, and Agent David to join this mission." The guard commander said, "We have locked We have located their location and sealed the hatch of the Quinjet they were traveling in, and are now negotiating with Agent Alfonso McKenzie. They will be key players in the mission, and the mission cannot be launched without them."

"Is this what your master thinks?"

"I don't fully understand my lord's thoughts. No one can understand all my lord's plans." Constantine acted very sincerely, but there was still not much expression on his face, as if genetic alchemy had erased it. There's a chance that he'll have mood swings because of this kind of thing. "But if my master approves the mission list drawn up by Enoch, it means that my master agrees with Enoch's ideas and agrees with all the parameters of the mission. We need you to persuade those agents to return and participate in the mission, Agent Coulson "We don't want to use violent means to forcefully arrest them - we don't want to delay the mission because of their injuries or deaths - we must start the mission as soon as possible before another devastating disaster strikes."

"Is this a threat?"

"No, that's a suggestion."

The commander of the guards knew that his height loomed large in this room, and a mortal sitting on the chair would feel an unbearable sense of oppression. Even an experienced agent would find it difficult to abandon this feeling. "You and my lord have the same goal. The difference is that my lord sees further. So I suggest you follow the advice of wise men instead of making bad choices with blind confidence and optimism. You and your team have already You have made similar mistakes more than once, and you are still running on this road without hesitation." The guard commander lowered his head and stared into the eyes of the only mortal present, "My Lord appreciates your courage in serving mankind, but This does not mean that my Lord can tolerate you continuing to make stupid decisions and causing trouble that you cannot solve."

"I agree, but I really need my companions." Agent Coulson sighed again, "I can't do it without one person."
