Chapter 507 Undercurrent

"So, General, what you are saying is that under the system of modern society, Canada actually encountered the invasion of a mysterious organization called the SCP Foundation in such a humiliating way, and forcibly occupied a military base that originally belonged to us. ?!”

At the Parliament Building in Ottawa, Canada, members of rival political parties stretched their necks like fighting roosters, stared at the general in front of them, and shouted questions.

"Mr. Congressman, regarding this, the SCP Foundation is not a..."

In the Capitol, the general took a deep breath, tried to ease the stiff expression on his face, and opened his mouth to defend himself.

"I don't need your explanation, I just want the answer. Tell me general whether what I said is true!"

After waving his hand to interrupt the general's explanation, the opposition congressman glanced at the general's seat and asked the new Prime Minister Justin with a serious expression.

In fact, for the members of the opposition party, they did not care at all about what happened in the military base, whether it was the SCP Foundation or the giant monster that the general said was like a fairy tale. Anyway, even if something goes wrong in the end, it will be the current ruling party and the current Prime Minister Justin who need to face it.

What he cares about is if he can use the incident in front of him to undermine Prime Minister Justin's prestige and thus accumulate enough political energy for himself.

"Damn the congressmen, these short-sighted guys!"

It is clear that the threat posed by [Holy Lord] to Canada is very close, but these damn politicians still have the leisure to hold a so-called parliamentary vote in the Capitol Building.

The general kept cursing the congressmen in the building in his mind, but on the surface he had to continue to respond according to parliamentary procedures: "Yes, the facts you said, Mr. congressman, do exist, but..."

"Okay, thank you General for your honest answer."

After interrupting the general again and getting the answer he wanted, the opposition congressman immediately made a victorious expression and motioned for the general to go back again.

Faced with the congressman's obvious use of himself as a political cash machine, the general felt angry in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and walk back again.

"As far as I know, General, why didn't you take a counterattack as soon as the military base was occupied? Instead, you allowed the SCP Foundation to take possession of the military buildings on the sacred territory of Canada. Do I have the right to suspect the possibility of malfeasance on your part?"

However,

Before the general could return to his seat, a congressman stood up and asked his own question.

Everything that happened in the Capitol made the general feel physically and mentally exhausted. Facing a series of questioning was more difficult for him than a war.

Trying to calm his emotions, the general stood up again and answered: "It's absolutely impossible, Mr. Congressman. In fact, I gave the order to counterattack as soon as the base was occupied. However, the power of the SCP Foundation is stronger than mine." Thinking even more powerfully, they not only created a thick fog that was difficult to see through the entire base, but also built a high wall within the base within just a few hours to isolate all exploration."

"According to you, 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 that led to this super organization similar to the Avengers appearing in Canada?"

"..."

The opposition MP's question clearly got to the core of the entire issue, and it was clear that the other party was well prepared.

Faced with this soul question, the general's expression visibly paused. His eyes made subtle contact with Prime Minister Justin behind him, and he finally chose silence.

"I can't say anything confidential about that, Mr. Congressman."

"Very good. In fact, even if you don't say it, General, I understand that as far as I know, the culprit behind all this is our Prime Minister, Mr. Justin, because our Prime Minister tried to use the bird that appeared in the North Atlantic to The giant creature created 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."

Faced with the aggressive attitude of the congressmen, the general had to choose silence again.

"very good."

However, it is obvious that the general did not know that his approach would indirectly become a favorable answer to the congressman.

"In fact, 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 congressman said. I have no idea what happened at the military base. situation, and I think that instead of continuing to dwell on this issue, what Canada needs to do most now is to think about how to deal with the threat of SCP foundations occupying military bases and giant monsters."

"Okay, then just follow what the Prime Minister said."

After nearly three hours of bickering, the Speaker of the Capitol clearly believed that this approach had fully demonstrated a model of 'democracy', so he pretended to be thoughtful and silent for a moment before making his own judgment: "Then I will follow the rules. Opposition parties’ initiatives will be put to a vote and all MPs will start voting agenda.”

Seeing that the farce in the Capitol finally ended, there was no expression of joy on the general's face.

Because he knew that the next voting would take place all night long.

The precious time that Dad gained by sealing [Holy Lord] will be lost in Canada’s so-called ‘democratic’ vote.

Faced with such a result, Prime Minister Justin was also very helpless.

In fact, it is not that he has not thought about directly bypassing Congress through emergency orders to respond, but his idea has just come up and the opposition parties have made preparations to respond.

It was precisely because [Holy Lord] turned back into a stone statue that Prime Minister Justin lost the most crucial reason to convince the parliament, and ultimately had to return everything to a 'democratic' vote under the pressure of the opposition party.

The most critical time is wasted in parliament.

"It's over, everything is over."

In the Capitol building, the general looked at the politicians who were minding their own voting agenda, with a look of helplessness on their unsmiling faces.

Now, he can only pin everything on the SCP foundation that has occupied the military base, hoping that everything will be successful in containing the giant monster as [Dominic Butch] said.

…

"Your mission this time really brought us a huge 'surprise', Captain!"

New York, inside Avengers Tower.

Faced with the information brought back by Steve and Natasha, Tony and others obviously didn't look good.

Even though they had been prepared for such a result, the information Steve and the others brought back far exceeded what Tony and the others had prepared for.

"In other words, with only three days left, we will see a behemoth [Holy Lord] over a hundred meters tall ravaging Canada?"

After taking a deep breath and sorting out his thoughts, Banner pushed the glasses on his face and said.

"In fact, there are not three days left."

Raising her eyebrows, Natasha corrected the time in Banner's mouth.

"Maybe we should look at this from a more optimistic perspective."

Seeing that the atmosphere in Avengers Tower was a bit solemn, Falcon couldn't help but calmly said: "If the information the captain said is correct, the SCP Foundation has also started to contain [Holy Lord]. Perhaps the final result is that the Foundation The [Holy Lord] will be successfully contained, and we may not need to take action."

"If things really develop as you say, then naturally it will be the best outcome."

After hearing Falcon's analysis, Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had been silent, scanned the people in Avengers Tower with his only remaining eye, and made a subtle reminder: "But, I always think that things are not the same. It would be that simple.”

Nick Fury trusts his instincts. It was his instincts that allowed him to survive crises decades ago and prevent the worst-case scenario for the earth.

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 SHIELD for a moment. Although Tony did not agree with many of Nick Fury's actions, this time he clearly agreed with his opponent's position: "We cannot give up all our hopes." Regarding the SCP Foundation, especially from the description of Long, the containment expert from the foundation, the foundation’s containment process is not always smooth sailing. On the contrary, they often fall into crisis due to their containment tasks.”

"Besides, we are Avengers, everyone."

In the Avengers Tower, Tony glanced at the Avengers and said slowly: "Protecting the earth is our mission."

In order to deal with the crisis brought by [Holy Lord], Tony could start making preparations as early as the [Spell] incident. Ultron was part of his plan. Although from a certain perspective, Tony hoped that his preparation would never be completed. day of use, but apparently, this hope has been dashed.

"Everyone, although I don't want to interrupt your unity time..."

Just as the Avengers were mentally preparing for the upcoming battle.

In front of the computer, Agent Hill, who had been working silently, spoke up and interrupted.

"However, I have some news that I have to tell you."

"Breaking news, Agent."

After 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, regarding Canada, I don't think there's any need to hold out hope for that."

Taking over Nick Fury's order, Agent Hill first mentioned the reaction of Canada, where the incident occurred: "Based on the current development of the situation, Ottawa is conducting 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 Canada takes action, it will not take place until the next day.”

"It's really an efficient parliamentary decision."

Tony was obviously not too surprised by Canada's reaction. He shrugged and said with a mocking expression.

"On the other hand, the White House seems to have learned about the information about the SCP Foundation and [Holy Lord] in the Canadian base, and is weighing whether [Holy Lord] will cause damage to the United States. If so, the White House will directly use military means to attack the base in Canada. The [Holy Lord] at the Canadian base launched a long-range strike, and even the one in the White House has made it clear that nuclear weapons are among the options 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 no joke.

After all, for the United States, as long as the war does not take place on the mainland, it does not matter how many people are sacrificed. These sacrificed people have no votes anyway.

"Please tell the White House that the Avengers will not let this happen. We will work hard to solve everything. We hope that Mr. President will remain calm and restrained."

Faced with the White House's overreaction, Steve immediately expressed his position through Agent Hill.

After nodding and conveying Steve's position on the Avengers to the White House, Agent Hill opened his mouth to deliver his last and most important news.

"Finally, there is a message coming from the Canadian military base, which is the military base occupied by the Foundation. It is the information passed by Mr. Long."

Following Agent Hill's voice, she reached out to press 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 photos in front of them, the first people to react were Steve and Natasha, who had sneaked into the base.

In their eyes, a brand new building was erected on the base that had been turned into ruins due to the battle of [Holy Lord], surrounding [Holy Lord] who had turned into a stone statue, and there were a large number of people around the building. Personnel wearing 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]. They are trying to use the power of [Contained Objects] to deprive [Holy Lord] of the most critical [Rat Talisman] power. If If the containment process goes smoothly, the foundation will directly contain the sealed stone statue transformed by the [Holy Lord] into the foundation after stripping off the [Rat Talisman] to prevent it from breaking out of the seal again."

"Well, it seems that what I said is right. Maybe it turns out that all this can be solved smoothly without the help of the Avengers."

In the Avengers Building, Falcon looked at the news from [Uncle Long] and then raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face.
