As Pamela manipulated the plants, Tim explained the situation to her in more detail.
"There is a very delicate balance between the FBI, SHIELD and Hydra. On the surface, both the FBI and SHIELD have an obligation to deal with Hydra. These two decent organizations should stand together to fight evil."
"But the truth is not that simple. The FBI and SHIELD have a serious funding competition because their functions overlap. For some cases between superpower cases and non-superpower cases, there are too many gray areas to deal with."
"This means that neither side can take too harsh a hand against Hydra, but they have to take action at the same time."
"I can't take drastic measures because if there are no rats in my area, the cats won't be effective. But I have to take action because if rats are rampant and crawl onto the dining table, the cats will be useless."
"Both sides are just trying their hand at it, nurturing the enemy while making small moves to gain more achievements. Whoever controls it more skillfully and demonstrates more achievements with the limited Hydra resources will get more funding."
"Some of the FBI's previous actions caused SHIELD to lose money. In order to get back at the loss, SHIELD teamed up with HYDRA to first drive the FBI out of Los Angeles, which could also attack HYDRA, and then cause a big commotion in Los Angeles, and then SHIELD stepped in to clean up the mess."
"The West Coast is the FBI's territory. This will not only save the FBI's face, but also show the achievements of SHIELD."
"Not to mention, taking advantage of the FBI's lack of defense to cause a scene at a congressional gathering could drive a wedge between the two and make the FBI lose face in Congress."
"Since ancient times, party disputes have been nothing more than this. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. The strength of S.H.I.E.L.D. lies in the fact that they have a closer connection with Hydra. When necessary, they will no longer support the enemy, but use Hydra to strike hard at the FBI."
"But do SHIELD and HYDRA have a perfect relationship of mutual trust? This is obviously impossible. There are no two people in the world who are completely united in purpose, nor are there two organizations that are completely united in purpose."
"The interests of SHIELD and HYDRA are the same. SHIELD relies on HYDRA for funding, while HYDRA relies on SHIELD to hide itself and use Umbrella to make profits for itself through evil activities."
"Now SHIELD needs Hydra, and they have a relatively peaceful cooperative relationship. But once Hydra is no longer of use, SHIELD will have to find a way to suppress Hydra, so as to prevent the mouse from ending up on the table, showing that the cat is useless."
"In Schiller's original plan, the FBI's main force must be firmly tied to the border, and it is necessary to deploy manpower to fight with the agents. This is also what SHIELD hopes to see."
"On the one hand, it will be beneficial to the funding plan mentioned earlier, and on the other hand, it can also weaken Hydra's strength. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Tim said this, then looked at Pamela and said, "But if we intervene and use our super powers to seal off the entire mountain, the FBI will lose hope of victory and retreat, and they won't be able to keep their main force here."
"On the other hand, if the FBI and Hydra can't fight and Hydra can't consume its manpower, then SHIELD won't be able to give Hydra more. Otherwise, it will become too powerful to be eliminated. They may even take action to suppress it to prevent Hydra from making trouble."
"This will lead to the breakdown of the community of interests between SHIELD and HYDRA. Regardless of whether Schiller really belongs to HYDRA or is just an undercover agent, in a struggle involving fundamental interests, the collective will cannot be diverted by individual strength."
"Nick can't ignore the overall situation and insist on cooperating with Hydra just because of Schiller's existence. Schiller can't go against common sense and continue to obey S.H.I.E.L.D.'s orders just because of Nick's existence."
"On the contrary, whether they are truly concerned about their own organizations or just pretending to be, they should at least pretend that the cooperation has broken down and accuse the other party of betrayal."
"In order to control Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. may choose to join forces with the FBI, but in this triangle relationship, if two decent forces join forces, it will be too strong and the balance will be broken in an instant."
"If Hydra faces the pursuit of SHIELD and the FBI alone, it is almost equivalent to being an enemy of the entire US law enforcement system, which is a very unfavorable situation for them."
"In order to survive, Hydra has only one choice left, and that is to cooperate with the FBI."
"At this point, the method that Hydra and the FBI use to suppress SHIELD is clear. That is to create a super-powered assassination incident at the Love Farm party, and the congressman can then take advantage of the situation to accuse SHIELD of dereliction of duty in Congress."
"And aren't you the most recent person with super powers?"
Pamela blinked. She actually understood it because the logic was very clear and not that complicated.
In a triangular relationship, there are either one and two relatives, two and three relatives, or one and three relatives. There are only three situations in total, and there are only two choices for individuals.
One and Two have a falling out, so One only has one choice left, and that is Three. If One chooses Three, he has to deal with Two. What One can use is actually the biggest difference in functions between Three and Two, that is, whether One can control people with super powers.
If people with super powers cause trouble, the FBI is not responsible, but SHIELD is to blame. This is the best way to suppress SHIELD.
The person with super powers is Pamela, who is both far away and close at hand.
This is the most basic thing in factional struggles, using multilateral checks and balances to create capital for oneself.
The most important thing in party struggles is to see clearly the fundamental interests of each group, so as to infer its next move, and then use this next move to infer the next response of other groups.
To a certain extent, the further the speculation goes, the lower the accuracy rate. But if it can be predicted correctly, it will have the effect of being a great prophet.
Smart people can usually push forward five or six steps, so the fact that Tim only pushed forward two steps in this incident is not surprising.
But Pamela still felt a headache.
It was as if her brain lacked some hardware to think about such questions, and the knowledge just wouldn't enter her brain!
But Pamela was not stupid. Tim had explained it so clearly. She followed Tim's train of thought and thought about it. She felt that there was indeed no problem. The relationship between the three organizations should be like this. At least there was no logical loophole.
She felt that although Tim said that he would fall sooner or later, this guy was obviously holding his breath and wanted to see who could make him fall. To be more precise, he wanted others to fall.
Although he doesn't think that this other person is Schiller, it is obvious that Tim is not willing to be at the bottom. There are four forces in total. If he can't be the boss, can't he be the second or third?
While she was thinking, Pamela had completed the blockade of the cliff with plants. Now all the plants around the entire hilltop had woven into layers of large nets, and tall trees such as pine trees had also turned into tree warriors.
Just as Tim expected, lights began to flicker on the beach and at the foot of the mountain. They were obviously the light of standard flashlights. Dark shadows swayed among the trees, and rustling footsteps shuttled through the mountains and forests.
Tim could see more clearly on the second floor that some people had landed on the beach, and there were also people approaching from the bottom of the path they had come up from. From their movements and the appearance of their equipment, he could tell that they were the FBI.
A tall figure was squatting behind the dense bushes. He had just taken two steps forward when a hand grabbed his arm.
"Don't you have much experience in jungle combat?" Steve's blue eyes were clear even in the dark. Unlike Batman's blue eyes, his eyes were lighter in color. When he looked over, they were like a glowing beacon in the dark.
Jason shook his head and said, "You could say I only know how to fight in the street."
"Okay, it's not strange, but don't go out now. There's something wrong with the shadow of the tree in front. Look at that slope... yes, that one over there. Don't you think the shape of the tree roots is a bit strange?"
Jason looked left and right, but couldn't make out anything. He really lacked this kind of experience. He was good at street fighting, but he'd rather forget about regular combat.
"In the jungle, we use the direction of plant growth to determine the direction of sunlight. Generally, it is more obvious for some herbaceous plants, but if the tree canopy is too dense and there is no difference between day and night below, we still have to observe the trees."
"Also, the shape of tree roots can sometimes indicate the distribution of underground water systems. I once found drinkable fresh water in the tropical rain forests of South America by observing the direction in which tree roots extended."
"The root position of the tree on the slope is obviously wrong. We saw it when we came up. The exposed land over there is caused by the high salt content of the fresh water at the seaside, which leads to soil salinization and soil erosion. Theoretically, it is not surprising that the tree roots are exposed."
"But it has become a soil slope, with half of the roots exposed. In order to maintain its balance, the tree will dig the other half of its roots into the soil more forcefully to hold the trunk that is about to fall, but it will still be somewhat tilted."
"The posture of this tree doesn't look like it has been growing on this slope for a long time. Its exposed roots are too fresh, and the roots haven't developed stronger tissue due to the changes in the slope. Theoretically, if the roots were in this posture, the tree would have fallen down long ago, but it didn't, which means there may be external support."
Jason looked around and didn't find any man-made pillars, and while he was staring at the tree, it ran away.
Jason opened his eyes wide in shock, and then looked at Steve. Unexpectedly, Steve was also shocked. Steve said, "What I want to say is that some people will camouflage themselves on top of explosives..."
Before they could finish being shocked, the pine trees in front of them all took off running, waving their huge branches and rushing towards the slightly hidden light of the flashlight.
Steve took a breath and shouted, "Get down, get down quickly!!"
Soon, screams of the team members who rolled down the hillside were heard. Steve pulled Jason down, and Jason did not forget to carry the wounded next to him.
"Isn't this the only way for the killer to go?! Damn it, these days terrorist organizations can even turn pine trees against each other???"
Jason heard someone cursing and Steve's face looked bad. He raised his shield to cover the injured agent's retreat. Jason acted as a porter and carried several people in no time. The group fled to the foot of the mountain in a panic.
"Boss, the intelligence is wrong. Didn't they say it was a Hydra killer? What's up with these tree spirits? I was just hit by a vine."
"I also had something wrapped around my foot, and I thought it was a snake, but when I looked down I saw it was actually leaves!"
"I was almost pushed into a tree hole and drowned! What the hell!"
The young team members complained, and Steve waved his hand, signaling them to calm down.
Not long after, rows of cars appeared on the road not far away, and the FBI team arrived.
The leading agent looked down at the wounded, then looked up at the ferocious tree spirit, waved his hand, and the FBI team left.
