Chapter 1,400 Three huge rocks

In fact, it doesn't take Colson's explanation to see Constantine's troubles.

The operation logic of this mission is different from all the tasks experienced by the Colson team after the Hydra Rebellion. At that time, they discovered or encountered threats themselves, and solved the threat for their friends around them. They could see the target and know who to fight for. But this time they could not see the target. The tasks they accepted came from the emperor and the Imperial Guards, and even allowed the most important members of S.H.E.L.D. to stand opposite to the friendship they built together. Unless they were carrying out the mission, each agent would not know any details - issue orders, accept orders and execute them, without any doubts, and without any openness - this was the operating model of S.H.E.L.D., a model abandoned by Agent Col. He once vowed to his team members to make S.H.E.L.D. rather than a cold and ruthless secret service agency.

"You want to be a policeman, not a operative, because you don't want to take responsibility." There was no chair suitable for Constantine to sit down. He also prefers to stand, and he prefers to look down at the troubled Agent Colson condescendingly, forming a sense of oppression as sharp as the garrison spear in his hand during the conversation. "If you want to be a policeman, go to the streets to fight crime and hand over the saving of the earth to more professionals. Because professionals know how to reduce casualties and need to be responsible for it, the policeman does not need it, and the policeman can abandon all rules and regulations and do what they want to do."

"This is to uphold the justice of S.H.E.L.D.," Agent Colson retorted without hesitation. "The S.H.E.L.D. in Nick Fury's hands was too large and too bloated. At that time, S.H.E.D. did a lot of shameful things, so the space for Hydra to parasitic. We don't even know whether those things are necessary evils of S.H.E.D. or the crimes committed by Hydra to satisfy one's own desires. I don't know, and I can't tell, but this kind of thing will not happen again. We must do the right thing. There is no secret to S.H.E.D.."

"Procedural justice and outcome justice, the ancient problem of modern law, the balance point between human nature and order."

"I'm so glad you understand."

“Not everyone who undergoes genetic modification is Steve Rogers.”

Constantine said, "

"I warn you not to say that to my idol."

Agent Colson shrugged and laughed. He knew Constantine was referring to Steve Rogers' cultural level. Although Steve Rogers was his idol, he had to admit that Constantine was right. This was a joke in Captain America's fan circle that was often teased, and there were many fan works around this element. However, Constantine didn't care about those things at all, nor did she know the existence of those things.

"I didn't expect you to joke. Didn't genetic modification eliminate all your human feelings?"

Constantine nodded expressionlessly. "Yes. Every guard has extremely rich knowledge and we are still learning. If you want, I can recite the entire "The Merchant of Venice", which is the ability he gives us, a perfect and constantly improving person. So, not everyone who undergoes genetic modification is Steve Rogers, we are even better."

The smile on Agent Colson's face disappeared, like the ice and snow beside the furnace. He shrugged in disappointment, "Okay, I know you're not kidding right now. Now, I don't know where Agent May is, nor what they plan to do, and I don't know if the agents on the mission list will be fatal or disabled..."

"This is your mission, Agent Colson." Constantine looked around. Enoch had left here and took refuge in a more secret room. To this day, Agent Colson or SHIELD has not been able to understand the complex structure of the lighthouse base. All known rooms and paths are provided by computers during the Cold War. It is difficult to understand all rooms in the lighthouse base even through circuit systems, because many rooms use independent power supply systems.

"I hope Enoke has taken shelter safely," said the Guard. "I also don't want you to know where he is now."

Agent Colson lowered his head, and he was not planning to tell the Guards the information that Enoch showed him.

"He said nothing."

Constantine lowered her head, but her expression still did not change.

"Very good." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the explosion-proof door, reached out and pressed the password. The Safari and Mars technicians reinstalled the security system here to avoid the possibility of being overtaken by Agents of S.H.E.L.D. and the General Control Room. He did not hesitate to expose the lies of Agent Colson, "Tell Enoke, stay in that place and do not leave, and I will arrange for armed personnel to protect it from evacuation."

"What are you going to do?" asked Agent Colson. "And, there is more respect for Enoch. It is 'he', not 'it', he is a wise creature. We need respect for wise creatures..."

Constantine did not answer.

His route did not completely return to the control of the First Secret Corps, but when he passed by all the S.H.E.L.D field agents all put down their weapons, not only because of their height and equipment, but also because of the pure violence he showed in the control room. However, Constantine was too lazy to give the rioters a look. He came to a lifting door and said something through the built-in telephone of the power armor. Then the lifting door with the broken control panel slowly opened.

Several laser weapons and grenade launchers were aimed at the lifting doors. A Mars technician in a red robe stood behind all the soldiers of the First Secret Regiment, waving the metal appendages on his back, as if ready to attack the invaders with plasma cutters at any time. Constantine was very satisfied with their vigilance. Even though he issued a notice in accordance with the rules and regulations, the First Secret Regiment still adhered to the wartime principles and never put down his weapons.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir!"

The first confidential regiment soldier in charge of defending the warehouse immediately saluted Constantine.

Now this warehouse for storing dangerous goods has changed. Except for the items originally numbered and sorted by S.H.E.D., which were neatly placed on the shelves, some of the items selected by the Imperial Guards are listed separately for storage and supervision. The most conspicuous thing is three rectangular boulders stored in bulletproof air-tight glass cabinets - the first one is mud-black, which can liquefy under a specific vibration frequency and transmit people to a specific location; the second one is as white as snow, with three red stripes painted with unknown pigments in the middle, which will liquefy at a specific time and transmit people to a specific time; the third gray boulder has circles of circles on the surface. The purpose is unknown, and even Enoch cannot fully explain it, but in terms of shape, it has the same source as the first two boulders, so it is necessary to take them to the research department for some tests.

The Mars technician came here for preliminary research. He cut a rectangular sample from the gray boulder and sealed it and sent it back to Latovigna. The subsequent sample will be divided into several pieces for different detections to determine the environment in which the boulder was born, the components it possesses, etc., so as to find out where they came from in the universe.

At this moment, Melinda May is focusing on seizing control of the lighthouse base. She has no idea that the Imperial Guards really care about not the lighthouse base, but the three boulders in the warehouse. These three boulders are the real reason why the Imperial Guards attacked the lighthouse base. Otherwise, they would have evacuated with the agents on the mission list, conducted pre-war training (regardless of whether they want it or not) and waited until the boulder melted and stuffed them in together. Constantine believed that Enoke would like this plan because there were the least twists and turns, and there was no need to disclose too much information and provide too much help with the experimental subject (referring to the Agent Colson Squad).

But Constantine knew that the emperor would never let a task achieve only one goal.

Every time the emperor plans, he often connects several tasks that span years and affects another task through one task. Constantine knows that the plan of Agent Colson is definitely related to the Cree Star Castle brought by Coboy, and is also related to General Hale and her daughter Ruby. The emperor wants to get everything through one task, which will inevitably require all departments and organizations affiliated with the emperor to cooperate fully, and even perform some tasks that ordinary people cannot understand.

This is not the first time this happened. Constantine has done "wet work" for the emperor more than once, setting up a plan to clean up the local chaebols or warlords who tried to protect their property by surrendering in the Balkan War of Unification and continued to fight against the emperor's policies. The country in the former Marshal Tito's hands had a large number of similar problems, and the emperor would not let the same problems bother him, and the regent.

Constantine led the First Secret Regiment and other Imperial Guards to do many tasks that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, but they can achieve their goals without exception. The logic in the task often requires a large amount of information to be cleared. For example, a smuggler appeared on a freighter that was passing through the Suez Canal. The local police forcibly detained the freighter for inspection in order to capture the smuggler, resulting in some food raw materials not being delivered to the Balkans in time, forcing a specific person to change the breakfast type on the way to work, and he had to walk twenty meters more for this. Then he accidentally fell into the sewer wellhead that was moved away due to construction. The prompt sign and fence were moved back home by a drunkard who suddenly had a whim the night before.

Through meticulous planning of big data calculations and the combination of various random events, it is ensured that some people will die at the right time and no trace will be found afterwards. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a random event with a sudden whim, which is a complete coincidence. Even if you are determined to investigate, it will be classified as an accident, because the plan built by the leader's unexpected death can only go bankrupt.

However, this is an action based on the premise that many negotiations have failed. The emperor will not waste the power of the Imperial Guards on assassinating several key figures. The more common practice is to send assassins to deter the enemy's corpses - people are the sum of social relations, and the most tragic death in the center of social relations can play the greatest deterrent. That is execution rather than assassination. Assassination requires sneaking, and execution must be open and upright. Everyone knows that it was sent by the emperor, but no one has direct evidence, which is enough. The small area of ​​the Balkans does not require the emperor to invest too much energy. The emperor only needs an arsenal and a source of soldiers. The Balkans are the tools to achieve ideals rather than the ultimate goal.

Perhaps the Regent had conflicts with the Emperor in this matter, but as far as Constantine knew, this contradiction could be resolved in a long conversation between the Emperor and the Regent and could not affect anything. After the drinking talks, all the independence and autonomy that many surrendered countries should have were abolished. The Emperor did not allow those sparsely populated people who seemed brave and good at fighting in making trouble, and who were timid when resisting foreign enemies to break away from their own control.

The enthusiasm that the Balkan countries showed during the invasion of the Third Reich of Germany was dark history. The emperor cared about this hidden extreme idea and planned to turn it into his own use. And before the emperor launched the war, most Balkan countries were all trapped in the inefficient operation of government corruption and bureaucracy. If anyone in this world could change the status quo, then only the emperor and the regent were because they would not care how many officials would die in the reform. What's more, the human race faced so many threats. In order to save prison space and administrative costs, it seemed that some corrupt officials who should have been thrown into prison were thrown into the incinerator directly.

It was really just to save prison space and administrative costs. This was admitted to Constantine by the emperor. Some people might accuse the emperor of cruelty, but Constantine did not think that it was of any significance to maintain the hypocritical appearance of the so-called civilized society, especially for those who can make rules. The democratic society described by Plato in "The Ideal Country" is too inefficient, and it is even better than a tyrant society.

"Start the escort mission," Constantine said. "Take all the items on the list and board the plane in twenty minutes. Hefeng 1 stays here, and Agents of SHIELD need to use that aircraft. In addition, speed up Hefeng 1's vacuum air tightness experiment to ensure that Hefeng 1 still has airtightness after the microplanetary belt."
