Chapter 419: The Sharp Reformer, the New Director of SHIELD!

Hawk was not Lei Shen.

He was not an alien, but a local of Earth.

After Lei Shen appeared and the Chitauri invaded Earth, the Five Greats understood one thing.

Outside of Earth was truly a lawless land; once Earthlings rushed into the universe, what they would face would not be flowers and wine, but more likely the gunboat diplomacy of countless alien races.

Although Earth was in a remote, impoverished corner of the universe.

But...

The Five Greats didn't know that, and diplomacy within Earth was always conducted with the greatest malice, let alone outside of Earth.

So at this time, Hawk appeared particularly important.

The most important point.

Hawk was at odds with the Federal military.

Quantico was still being rebuilt, but less than one-tenth had been rebuilt, and the remaining nine-tenths of the ruins were still lying there.

The grass on General Ross's family's graves had been replaced several times over.

This was great.

For the Federation, this was very bad, but for the other four council members of the Security Council, this was indeed a great thing.

Still the same point.

Resenting others for having what they don't.

If Hawk had a good relationship with the Federation, then the other four council members would definitely agree to Nick Fury's plan to take control measures against Hawk.

Just like how the Security Council tacitly agreed to Nick Fury's measures to control the Hulk back in the day.

Who told the Hulk's girlfriend to be Betty Ross, and Betty Ross's father, Thaddeus Ross, to be one of the giants of the Federal military?

The Security Council was not the Federation's Security Council, but the Security Council of the Five Greats.

Rather than saying SHIELD felt the need to control the Hulk, it was better to say the Security Council felt the need to control the Hulk.

But Hawk was different.

Hawk had no intersection with other great nations, was at odds with the Federal military, and Maria Hill and others had friendly contact with Hawk.

This was the fundamental reason why, when Nick Fury rose again and proposed that Hawk needed to be controlled, he was once again blocked by the Security Council freezing his command authority.

So...

"Congratulations, Commander Hill—no, it should be Director Hill now."

After the Security Council's latest resolution came out, the first result wasn't how to deal with the aftermath of this Hydra crisis, but the latest matter: promoting Maria Hill to Director of SHIELD, overseeing all SHIELD affairs.

Because in dealing with the aftermath of Hydra, there had to be a suitable and widely recognized person to stand up and preside over the big picture.

And in this Hydra riot, Maria Hill, who performed exceptionally calmly and followed the rules, naturally gained the appreciation of the Security Council.

After all!

Nick Fury was already dead.

Faked death was also death.

From a certain perspective, this could be considered letting Nick Fury off easy. ===== CHAPTER 421 =====
