A military base.
It attracted countless gazes.
Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Nick Fury stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the director's office at S.H.I.E.L.D., issuing orders to the military base far away in Arkansas to quickly prepare for battle.
"Immediately alert and prepare for battle!"
"Field agents disperse! Search for any suspicious personnel!"
"I will arrive at the Arkansas Base within an hour!"
Although Nick Fury didn't know why Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark were meeting for battle there, or why Hydra had chosen that military base... this time, alert and preparation for battle couldn't go wrong!
Moreover, Fury had already ordered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjet to come and pick him up, and he would also personally rush to the Arkansas military base to avoid any mistakes.
"Yes, Sir."
The military base commander seriously accepted the orders.
Then the commander wanted to contact Alexander Pierce...
After all, the commander truly pledged allegiance to Hydra, or rather all the members of the Arkansas military base were Hydra people, what's there to hide?
This was their Hydra's backup training base!
When the commander of the military base contacted Alexander Pierce, Pierce was considering how the military commander and the members of the entire base might heroically sacrifice themselves in the impending battle.
Pierce felt that the impostors had set their sights on them, Hydra. At this time, a Hydra base that might already be exposed seemed irrelevant...
Especially since this base was only responsible for logistics training.
"Execute Fury's orders then!"
Alexander Pierce pressed against his mobile phone, his fingers slowly pressing on the office desk, "I don't want anyone exposed at this time, it will kill many people... Colonel Wim, do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, we will pay attention to hiding."
The commander's face was very firm.
"Idiot!"
Pierce couldn't help but curse!
Now the entire Arkansas base is likely exposed, what's the use of hiding? The most urgent thing now is to eliminate evidence!
Regardless, now we must first stabilize Nick Fury, preventing him from suspecting any mishap within S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Destroy all Hydra data within the base immediately… Nick Fury is very likely to thoroughly investigate the Arkansas base, no data can be overlooked."
Alexander Pierce paced back and forth in his office, one hand pressing on his forehead, "Before Fury arrives at the Arkansas base, prepare to activate the self-destruct program. Once he discovers spies within S.H.I.E.L.D.…"
"Sir..."
The commander gripped the handset tightly, slowly raising his head to look at the fiery cloud in the air, swallowing his saliva: "We might be too late..."
"Sir, unknown high-speed flying objects are attacking!"
A person in charge of the radar displays reported loudly!
The commander glanced at the radar display with clusters of red dots and despairingly roared: "Enemy attack! Everyone immediately guard your positions!!"
Boom!
A cluster missile penetrated this military base!
The violent explosion resounded throughout the base, with the shockwave sweeping through everything around instantly, smoke and dust engulfing the entire base!
A tall steel armor fell onto the top of the military base, suddenly extending two whip-like cables glowing with electricity!
One whip sliced directly through the base's roof like a blade!
It was Ivan Vanko!
In the wake of Ivan Vanko's initial assault, one by one, armed machines descended from the sky, with gun barrels and machine guns aimed at the military base!
Hundreds of machine cannons instantly tore through the base's defenses!
This cluster of advanced steel machines launched an assault surpassing half an era, before they could resolve the aerial attack with enough firepower, they had already completely lost the opportunity...
They never expected a military base in the central safety zone of the United States to face such a terrifying assault!
In less than ten minutes.
Ivan Vanko, leading hundreds of armed machines, destroyed all resistance forces within the military base, which was his long-conceived plan!
The only use the military base could now serve was to seek reinforcements from a nearby air force base and army base.
Over a hundred kilometers away.
A tank battalion from the army base was already advancing towards here.
Two F22 Raptor jets from the air force base took to the sky, rushing to support the attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. base, but were destroyed by two laser beams en route.
The military instantly fell into chaos.
The Ministry of Defense in Washington immediately convened all generals to discuss whether or not to use missiles to directly destroy the Arkansas base, obliterating both S.H.I.E.L.D. members and enemies within...
Nick Fury definitely disagreed.
Nick Fury declared that Iron Man, Tony Stark, had already gone to the Arkansas military base for support; the military simply sent Tony Stark's friend, Major Rhodes, wearing his newly armed-to-the-teeth War Machine, to assist in battle.
Furthermore, Nick Fury himself took a Quinjet to the Arkansas Base, intending to investigate the hidden secrets behind the incident...
In fact, there's no need for his investigation.
Because after Tony Stark and Rhodes contacted each other, they both arrived at the ruined Arkansas military base, only to see rows of armed robots, along with Ivan Vanko wearing the steel armor.
