#891 - Birds of a feather
The conversation naturally ended on an unhappy note.
After all, Nick Fury came to him simply relying on his self-righteousness and SHIELD's usual maverick style, trying to bargain with him and attempting to squeeze a few more spots from him in addition to the hundred slots.
The number of slots was even just symbolic; the important thing was to get him to open a back door outside the rules, this symbolic meaning.
How could Liang Yue let him have his way?
If he were still in the stage of being an exchange student a few years ago, having just arrived in the United States, with shallow strength, status, and perspectives on everything, perhaps he would have reached some cooperative relationship with SHIELD.
However, with Liang Yue's continuous growth, the transformation in his strength and realm was only one aspect. The key was that his perspective on things, the way he thought about problems, and even the breadth and depth of information he received had long changed.
These changes allowed him to view and handle everything around him from a more objective and realistic perspective.
Although, in this process, it is inevitable that some personal preferences will affect his way of doing things, it is actually not far off.
It was precisely because of these changes that he, imperceptibly, had a significant shift in his view of Nick Fury, SHIELD, and even the so-called Avengers Alliance.
Simply put, compared to the guardians of Earth, Liang Yue at this time was actually more willing to use the somewhat derogatory term "outlaws" to describe that group of people.
One of the reasons for this result was the Avengers' ubiquitous extraterritoriality, but the more important reason was actually the old woman's laissez-faire attitude and fundamental irresponsibility.
For example, the Battle of New York~
According to the original plot, in this battle to defend the financial capital of the world, the old woman's violent organs never appeared from beginning to end.
Apart from a small group of police officers belonging to the New York Police Department wielding small-bore standard weapons and acting on their own, there were only those few Avengers running around, flying all over the place in a busy mess.
Afterwards, seeing that it was impossible to win, they even wanted to launch a nuclear bomb directly, wiping the entire city of New York off the face of the Earth~
They were so ruthless to their own domestic cities and citizens, let alone other countries on Earth, engaging in all kinds of robbing money, robbing food, robbing people, robbing resources, establishing military bases, infectious disease storage centers, stealing oil...
And as a direct organization belonging to the country of America, SHIELD and the Avengers were actually not much better, constantly flying around in aerial carriers, smashing, looting, and burning everywhere.
The specific steps were: the Avengers were responsible for smashing, looting, and burning, and SHIELD was responsible for robbing...
After all, those mysterious side collections from various civilizations in the world in SHIELD's storage vaults did not appear there out of thin air.
Look at their style of doing things, it's exactly the same as the military, the CIA, and other overt organizations, and their reputation is righteous enough~
It was only in the later stages that SHIELD collapsed because of Captain America's momentary willfulness, and Nick Fury, seeing that the situation was over, then went underground and continued to cause trouble.
Otherwise, Black Panther and his Wakanda kingdom, which had disclosed their technology to the entire world, would probably have become this organization's subordinates, vassals, and even logistical reserve base.
And relying on SHIELD's early and exceptionally deep accumulation, various secret bases, secret forces, material reserves, resource occupation, etc., even if they lost the name of SHIELD, it would not be difficult to make a comeback later.
Tell me, how could Liang Yue directly open a back door for the head of such an organization just because he came to chat with him?
The Avengers, looking glamorous and fighting this and that everywhere on weekdays, are actually not much different from elite special agents for the most part.
Captain America, a human who relies on flying a shield to fight crime and extremists, his real combat ability is not even as good as Falcon with complete equipment.
Then Hawkeye, agent, Natasha, agent...
Stark, his own actual combat power is approximately equal to an ordinary fitness enthusiast, basically relying entirely on a set of technological armor to fight, but the technological content of the armor is just so-so~
War Machine Rhodes, an elite soldier, a set of primary armor plus individual war firepower, his combat ability is still passable.
Black Panther, a set of vibranium armor and a wrongly chosen technology tree, basically relies on claws and fists for combat, approximately equal to one and a half Captain Americas.
Thor, an alien prince, comes over to assist when he is in a good mood, and cannot be seen at all when he is in a bad mood, and SHIELD cannot control him.
Hulk, this guy is an unstable factor at this stage~
As for Captain Marvel, the Witch, Doctor Strange, etc., they have not yet appeared at this time. By the time they appear, SHIELD will have almost collapsed.
Moreover, the world in front of him is not a simple Marvel, but an American comic hodgepodge.
Not to mention the distant ones, just the Transformers and monsters from Pacific Rim that have already appeared are not something ordinary Avengers can resist.
Even the powerful combat forces among the Avengers, such as letting the Hulk fight a giant monster over a hundred meters tall.
The final result may be that the Hulk wins, but the price paid before destroying the monster will definitely be quite heavy.
Not to mention the Transformers, they are a mechanical race with a scale and establishment!
Relying on characters like Steve and Hawkeye, they simply cannot compete with them. Fortunately, the American military saw enough benefits in this group of robots and took over the task.
But even so, if it weren't for the brain-dead Optimus Prime, Earth would have been a Cybertronian colony long ago.
The true reliable guardian force for Earth must be the military!
However, the monolithic American military is definitely not good, and Liang Yue is not brain-dead enough to use the black technology around him to arm the old woman.
The Extraordinary Academy plan is one of his attempts, but the plan itself is not actually important.
This first batch of students recruited from China and even around the world will definitely receive key training in the future, but the growth goal of this group of people is not an army, but an elite special operations force similar to the Avengers.
The 50,000 Earth Expeditionary Force that came with the Extraordinary Academy plan is the focus.
Among these people, in addition to a part of scientific researchers and special groups mixed in to play, foreseeably, most of them will be in-service military personnel and professional observers from various countries.
Also a ratio of nine to one, China is the absolute main body, but compared to the Extraordinary Academy plan with only about 3,000 people, the number of this group called the Expeditionary Force, which is actually explorers, is as high as 50,000.
Being in the current Xianlin Star, such a world full of spiritual energy and magic, in addition to daily observation, research, and exploration tasks, they will naturally not be stupid enough to waste this opportunity to contact the extraordinary world.
Among these people, there will inevitably be many people who are themselves in the ranks of the extraordinary group, especially like China's Buddhist and Taoist systems, Britain's wizarding magic system, and other groups that can continue to become stronger with cultivation.
Like Captain America, ability users, and gene mutants, extraordinary individuals who suddenly acquire abnormal abilities due to certain factors, although their own abilities may not be weak, Xianlin Star is not suitable for them.
