In the spacious conference room, the nine members of the board of directors were seated opposite each other.
Because of Lajosi's contribution to the council and other things, Wilfred Malik has now truly restored his family's status in the organization and gained the qualification to take the seat.
Of course, if there is a row of positions, he will still be the last one.
The light in the conference room was very dark, but it was actually broad daylight, but the curtains were still tightly drawn throughout the conference room, and a few relatively dim lights were turned on.
No doubt this was looking after Hugh Jones.
However, this does not mean that the council knew that Huw Jones had become a vampire.
At that time, except for Josie, what was known about the disappearance of Hugh Jones in Europe was mainly limited to some of Hugh Jones's subordinates, that is, Major General Fletcher and some of his senior officers.
As for the ordinary soldiers performing tasks, most of them have no idea what is going on.
Therefore, except for Josie, the other directors did not know that Huw Jones had become a vampire.
When Hugh Jones simply gave up his shares in Boeing, it was considered a thank you gift to Josie, and it was also hush money.
Within Hydra, everyone knows their own affairs.
If other directors really knew that he had turned into a vampire, although he would not openly attack him, it would be possible to exclude or coerce him in various ways.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Huw Jones was not willing to let other directors know that he had become a vampire. After returning to the United States, he mostly avoided these "colleagues", and abnormalities such as being unable to see the sun were just
He claimed to the outside world that he had contracted a strange disease while in Europe and could not see the light of day.
Of course, he wouldn't just want to kill Josie and all Josie's men just to keep it secret.
One is that even if the identity of the vampire is exposed, it will only cause trouble to Huw Jones at most, but it will not be life-threatening, so there is no need to quarrel with Qiao Xi because of this matter.
The other is that he has memories during his unconscious stage, so he has seen the Magnetic Troopers and the Velociraptor, and he also knows that Josie is not as simple as he seems.
It's a matter of both parties knowing the other's little secret that is not fatal at all.
In fact, this situation not only does not distance the relationship between the two people, but also provides an opportunity for in-depth cooperation between the two parties.
It's like Josie has another ally in addition to Malik - of course, it's not accurate to say an ally, but at least he's a friend.
Basically, it's the kind of person who can't say that he will always be on your side if something goes wrong, but at least he won't cause trouble for you casually.
"There are three main things to call everyone together this time. The first is about the Paperclip Project and the Rebirth Project, the second is about Howard Stark, and the last one is the issue of zero matter." Thomas, as the chief, glanced at
The nine people present spoke at a glance.
His opening made everyone's expressions become serious.
"The first item, I won't go into details about the two plans. Everyone knows it. The main reason why I mention this is that Dr. Zola has returned to our arms. Although it is still very early to regain his freedom, he has already
You can provide us with some help," Thomas said.
Project Paperclip is a plan for the United States to plunder high-tech talents from Germany and Hydra for its own use - mainly some war criminal scientists who have served these two companies. For those scientists who have not served in the war, the United States has no way to force them to surrender.
They work for themselves.
And there is no doubt that Zola, who was once Red Skull's confidant, must be the number one figure in this plan.
Josie also tried to let Ophelia come into contact with Zola before, but the Strategic Science Corps monitored him extremely strictly, and even Ophelia couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
However, after returning to the United States, the headquarters of Hydra, the Council, whose penetration into all walks of life in the United States was far beyond the level of Josie, easily got on the line with Zora, and Josie could only do nothing about it.
On the contrary, Reinhardt, the future White Hall, had been assassinated by Ophelia.
Although Reinhardt is also a scientist, his research direction is biased towards "occult science", so he is not very valued by the Strategic Science Corps, otherwise he would not have been imprisoned until he was about to die of old age in the 1990s before being released.
As for Project Rebirth, it's very simple. It's the actual name of Captain America's super soldier project.
"We know both things, but what is the connection between the two? Although Captain America left some blood samples, we can't get it!" Hugh Jones, who wrapped himself tightly, said.
Very few blood samples of Captain America are left, only the military and the Strategic Science Corps have a small amount left.
Although the current Hydra's penetration into various official institutions in the United States is far from as exaggerated as it was in the 21st century, it cannot be obtained.
"Yes, normally yes, but we can't get Captain America's blood sample, but Schmidt's can!" Thomas said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly realized, yes, the world's first super soldier was not Captain America, but the Red Skull.
Since Captain America can leave blood samples, there is no reason for Red Skull to leave nothing behind.
And this is indeed the case.
Where did the potions used in the semi-finished products created by Zola, Vito and Bucky, come from? Of course, they cannot be derived from Captain America.
The origin is very clear. Zola used the blood sample of the Red Skull to deduce it.
Just hearing this, Josie couldn't help but feel a sudden thought. Thomas suddenly mentioned this...could it be...?
"Of course, the blood samples and some experimental drugs that Schmidt left behind were basically destroyed in the war, but our Dr. Zola told me that there are still two experimental subjects alive in this world - and
Speaking of this matter, Josie, you should know better than us!" As Josie expected, Thomas' words immediately burned him.
The two experimental subjects Zola was talking about were undoubtedly Vito and Bucky.
With Zola as the person involved, Josie couldn't hide it at all.
"So that's it, have Vito and Bucky been transformed at that time?" Josie immediately pretended to be enlightened and said, "So what Zola means is that he is going to use them to continue research? This is not possible, Vito
He is my confidant and is very important to me...but if you attack Bucky, you don’t have to worry about me."
Under this situation, it was almost impossible for Qiao Xi to save both of them, especially Bucky, who was a good friend of Captain America, a member of the Strategic Science Corps, and the enemy of Hydra.
So choosing between the two, which one Qiao Xi should protect, is almost a no-brainer.
