A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Don't go. Get ready to bomb the enemy base with the main force," Sitwell said.

"Huh?" Steve looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean, sir?"

“The person has already come out on their own, your rescue mission is canceled.” A glint of light flashed on Sitwell’s forehead as he said calmly, “You can just participate in the bombing mission on the spot.”

After saying that, Sitwell cut off the communication, leaving the three Avengers in the Quinjet looking at each other. This was the first time they had ever encountered a situation where the mission was completed on its own before they even reached the mission location.

Before the thought had even faded, the distinctive roar of the Quinjet fighter jets rang out overhead. The three looked up and saw three combat squadrons, a total of eighteen Quinjet fighters, taking off and heading towards the distant base.

High in the sky, the enormous mothership slowly appeared, protected by a pale blue energy shield.

Just as the mothership and fighter jets appeared, a huge pale yellow energy beam suddenly shot out from the distant base.

The massive energy beam struck the blue protective shield surrounding the mothership, creating a ripple of energy that quickly dissipated; Hydra's energy weapon was still unable to penetrate the shield.

Meanwhile, rows of cannons extended from the hull of the mothership, and in the bridge control room, an officer shouted, "Sir, target locked!"

"Fire!" Sitwell gave the order immediately.

At a command, the mothership's cannons fired simultaneously, and countless shells rained down from the sky. In an instant, the base behind Cao Gui was transformed into a sea of ​​fire, the frozen ground beneath his feet trembled, and surging air currents carrying shards of ice swept over him.

Behind them, besides endless white snow, there were towering flames. After a round of artillery fire, all the defensive firepower around the base was rendered useless, leaving only a thin layer of yellow energy shield flickering weakly like willow catkins in the wind, as if it would collapse at the slightest breeze.

That's exactly what happened. The Quinjet lowered its energy weapons from its belly, and after a salvo, the energy shield completely disappeared. Then it climbed up, dove down a second time, and fired its energy weapons a second time.

In an instant, another burst of flames shot into the sky, turning the base into ruins. Even the surrounding ice and snow were melted by the scorching heat wave, revealing the long-hidden yellowish-brown soil.

"It's truly spectacular..." Cao Gui exclaimed, the aerial battle was indeed very impressive.

Just then, another Quinjet landed beside him; it was sent by Sitwell to pick him up.

……

"The environment is really nice, this captain must be very comfortable..."

Inside the captain's office, Cao Gui looked left and right. This place used to be Nick Fury's, but now it belonged to Sitwell.

“If you like it, you can have it,” Sitwell said with a smile. This sky fortress had completely become his private property.

"No need, I'm not interested in these things." Cao Gui smiled and took out the nanorobot solution and data.

"These are what I found there, take a look."

Upon hearing this, Sitwell connected to the computer and began browsing the information.

"Don't you know this organization is Hydra?" Cao Gui asked curiously.

“I know, but that doesn’t stop us from teaching him a lesson,” Sitwell said without looking up.

“We helped them obtain the Scepter of Loki, but Baron Strucker breached the contract by not sharing their research findings.”

"It seems there's not much harmony within the organization," Cao Gui chuckled. Hydra has never been harmonious. After Red Skull left, there hasn't been anyone who could keep things in check. The various factions within the organization, big and small, are all unwilling to submit to each other, and this has continued to this day.

After a short while, Sitwell looked up from the documents: "These things are useful, but not very useful to us."

"And what about you?" Cao Gui asked.

“Me?” Sitwell frowned. What did that mean?

"Aren't there any of Pierce's men on this mothership?" Cao Gui asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Sitwell frowned, not quite understanding Cao Gui's words.

"I heard you have an insight project, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Sitwell froze, his pupils suddenly contracting sharply. The Insight Project was a top secret, how did this kid know about it?

“I have special intelligence sources…” Cao Gui smiled and said, meeting Sitwell’s shocked gaze.

"That's true," Sitwell said with a wry smile. This kid really knows everything. If he weren't his adopted son, he probably wouldn't have lived more than a few days.

“This plan is to rebuild Hydra’s order,” Sitwell said solemnly. “Hydra has been preparing for this for seventy years, right up until now…”

"In your opinion, do you think this plan can succeed?" Cao Gui asked.

Sitwell sighed and shook his head: "Even Hydra failed back then with the support of a powerful empire, let alone our former enemy who has been developing for decades."

"Even if you add up the original Hydra, let alone Hydra alone, it would be impossible."

"Heh... I thought you didn't understand." Cao Gui laughed. If organizations on Earth want to overthrow the order of the Five Great Powers, they either need to team up with aliens to cause trouble, or... wait for the spiritual energy to recover, the power of the mystical side might be able to do it.

“It’s the young radicals within the organization who are forcing us…” Sitwell gave a bitter smile: “They are increasingly eager to make a name for themselves and seize power, and for some reason, the higher-ups lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. are starting to get anxious.”

Cao Gui stroked his chin: "There's an old saying in our Celestial Empire: 'To control the emperor and command the feudal lords.' Have you heard of it?"

"Huh?" Sitwell was completely dumbfounded. You want me to seize power? Pierce is my superior.

"It's simple, just cut off his henchmen," Cao Gui said with a light laugh.

……

Over the Atlantic Ocean, a Quinjet was flying at high speed. Inside the cockpit, Cao Gui frowned slightly as he looked at the Black Widow in the seat not far away. She had changed into casual clothes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Black Widow chuckled softly, her fiery red lips slightly pursed. "I need to go on vacation too."

"Paris?" Cao Gui asked casually.

“Of course, that’s the city of romance.” Black Widow chuckled, her eyes sparkling. “I’ve never been to Paris before, so I need a guide and a travel companion. Cao, do you have any good people you can recommend to me?”

Cao Gui rolled his eyes: "No, I don't know. You should ask someone else."

Natasha paused for a moment, not because she was narcissistic, but because her seduction tactics had never failed. Her targets ranged from young men in their twenties to high-ranking officials from other countries in their fifties and sixties, and even Steve, an old man in his seventies, could not be ignored.

This young lad... isn't he at the age where he likes older women? This is the first time Natasha has encountered a big boy who isn't interested in her.

After Cao Gui finished speaking, he ignored her and took out his phone to call Gwen, asking her to come pick him up. Quinjet fighters cannot land at civilian airports and can only land in remote areas.

Chapter 419 School Starts (Bonus Chapter 1)

The Vincennes Forest, southeast of Paris.

As living standards improve, people are paying more and more attention to environmental protection. Paris is no exception, and has begun to promote bicycles. To this end, a road was specially built from the Vincennes Forest in the southeast to the Bois de Boulogne in the west.

Well... how should I put it, when it comes to cycling in France, you still have to look to the Germans; the Tour de France is no joke.

Deep in the forest, a Quinjet fighter jet landed silently and slowly, and Cao Gui and Natasha emerged from it.

Seeing that the two had landed safely, the Quinjet took off again and disappeared from sight.

"Oh, damn it..." Natasha exclaimed, clutching her skirt with both hands, her expression somewhat helpless.

She was wearing a light blue jumpsuit and high heels, making it difficult to walk through the somewhat bumpy and rocky forest.

She hadn't even taken two steps when not only did her high heels sink into the dirt, but her dress was also covered in mud.

"Cao... help me." Natasha looked at Cao walking ahead and said pitifully, her two neatly trimmed eyebrows furrowed, making her look somewhat heartbreaking.

Cao Gui's brows furrowed. This was the Black Widow, after all. How could she be helpless against a little bit of dirt? And then have to ask someone else for help?

"How can we help?" Out of humanitarian spirit, Cao Gui reluctantly asked.

"Uh... well... you can just carry me out." Natasha said, biting her bright red lips. Despite her mature and sophisticated demeanor, she acted like a little girl.

But it didn't feel out of place on her; instead, it gave off a sense of vulnerability that made you want to protect her.

but……

"Why should I help you?" Cao Gui asked with a smile.

"Huh?" This question completely stumped Natasha. A beautiful woman is asking you for help, isn't it only right to help her?

Besides, carrying a beautiful woman on your back is a perk!

But Cao Gui stared intently at her, not at all like he was joking.

Natasha's eye twitched slightly. She could tell that this guy was very hostile towards her, but... where did he come from?

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Cao Gui said, turned around and left. Gwen was still waiting for him outside. It felt strange to be in the woods with a woman for so long.

"Shit..." Natasha cursed under her breath in frustration. Her plan was about to fail before it even started.

What's even more frustrating is that the high heels, dresses, and everything else were all prepared for Cao Gui. She's not a superhuman, and these things really do get dirty.

Muttering to herself, Natasha still reluctantly followed Cao Gui outside, even deliberately getting herself covered in mud to make herself look dirty.

Before long, Cao Gui emerged from the forest. Gwen parked the car by the roadside and waited for him quietly. Perhaps because it was night, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood near the car.

"Have you been waiting long?" Cao Gui walked to Gwen's side, glancing at the broken teeth and bloodstains on the ground.

"Fortunately, the process wasn't boring." Gwen chuckled. It had been a long time since she had done it herself. She usually practiced with Cao Gui at home, but while practicing... she accidentally ended up in bed.

Moreover, he was also unable to defeat Cao Gui, which made him very frustrated.

"Let's go back." Cao Gui hugged Gwen tightly: "Hehehe, my dear sister, I missed you so much."

"Pah, it's only been three or four days..." Gwen's face flushed slightly as she braced herself against Cao Gui's chest, preventing him from getting any closer.

Just then, Black Widow staggered out of the forest, her high heels, dress, and even her fair legs covered in mud, making her look quite disheveled.

"Cao, could you please take me to the city? Please!" Natasha pleaded.

“This…” Gwen looked at Cao Gui in confusion. Because Natasha was dressed in casual clothes and her temperament had changed drastically, Gwen did not recognize her at first.

Given her pitiful appearance, no one could possibly connect her with the Black Widow who fights aliens.

Moreover, at night in Paris, there are countless robbers, drug dealers, and human traffickers. A woman like this walking in the Vincennes Forest might not survive more than half an hour.

"Heh... She's Natasha Romanoff, nicknamed Black Widow, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents." Cao Gui chuckled at Gwen. "Those who have died at her hands include, but are not limited to, men, women, and aliens. Do you think... she's in danger?"

Natasha's face darkened, and she almost burst into a tirade.

“Oh, it’s you.” Gwen gave Natasha a meaningful look, suppressing her pity. She had met this woman in New York, and not only had they met, they had even fought.

Although she was too weak to attract her attention, Gwen looked at her clothes and attire and realized that this woman was indeed a bit dangerous.

"Honey, get in the car." Gwen elegantly ignored Natasha, the two closed the car door and drove off, leaving Natasha completely bewildered.

"Shit!" Natasha angrily slammed down her high heels. Those two were such bastards! They went too far!

"Hey beautiful, are you alone?" A few grinning black men walked over, their eyes gleaming as they stared at Natasha. It wasn't every day that they could meet such a hot girl at night.

"Hahaha, guys, looks like we're going to have a lot of fun tonight," the leading black youth laughed heartily, shaking his head.

Natasha snorted coldly, flicked her toes, and the high heel on the ground spun into her hand, just in time to vent her anger.
