After listening to Gideon Malik's narration, Richard realized that there were so many things going wrong with Hydra these days.
Hydra has never been truly unified since the end of World War II. It seems to be a large organization with clear goals, but this is not the case at all. The major leaders do not communicate with each other, and everyone has always been in charge of their own affairs. As long as
Unless something big is created that endangers everyone's common interests, generally no one will meddle in other people's business.
This is a delicate balance. Everyone occupies a force to check and balance each other, because everyone knows that each has enough power and trump cards to act as a deterrent. To put it bluntly, it is actually a deterrent by strength, because each party has the ability to convince others.
Strength, so we can maintain peace and harmony.
Not long ago, Baron Strucker was still the leader among the big bosses. As an old German guy with a good background and a humble life during World War II, this guy also had the most men and guns, and he also had a hidden secret.
A person with big superpowers is a big shot that no other boss can afford to offend.
But precisely because of his strong strength, Baron Strucker always had a natural sense of superiority when facing other leaders, as if he was superior to everyone else and everyone else had to obey his orders.
Due to his strength and qualifications, other Hydra leaders generally didn't want to quarrel with him over trivial matters, so they tolerated it when they could.
Although they have tolerated it, it does not mean that the other leaders will not hold grudges. Everyone will remember all the advantages Baron Strucker has taken over the years and all the benefits of leaving. Now this guy's vitality is greatly damaged, and his strength is
No more, how could the other leaders give up?
Questions soon came one after another. Baron Zemo accused Strucker of being too ugly in the defeat, not only losing the face of their Hydra but also losing the glory of the former Axis powers; Lady Viper questioned his remaining manpower
and equipment are no longer enough to manage his current territory. Dr. Whitehall has not spoken yet, but he must be planning something secretly, and it will definitely not be a good thing for Baron Strucker anyway.
As the saying goes, "When a tree falls, the hozen will scatter, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes back." Now Baron Strucker is obviously the wall that is about to collapse. The Baron's decline has caused the balance that Hydra has maintained for many years to be broken, and the impact on power and interests is about to be broken.
The redistribution will inevitably lead to another battle.
Mr. Gideon Malik called his leader here so hurriedly just to report this matter. The old man was very excited, his face turned rosy when he talked about it, and he looked like he was ready to take the world into his pocket.
.
Richard knew that this old guy had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Although he, the fake god of Hydra, had no interest in conquering the world, Malik had really worked hard his whole life to achieve this goal.
The old guy may also vaguely understand in his heart that "conquering the world" sounds a bit too intermediate and unrealistic, and it may be very difficult to achieve, so he pinned his hopes on the omnipotent "Hydra" legendary from his ancestors.
"God", hoping that this god can lead them to achieve this goal after returning smoothly.
Can Richard help him realize his long-cherished wish? Of course he can.
Not to mention conquering the earth, if he wants to conquer the galaxy, it is only a matter of time.
But will he do this?
Unfortunately for Mr. Malik, no.
It can be conquered, but it's not necessary.
Richard felt that he was just too full to hold on. With his current strength, he could walk around the galaxy casually, get whatever he wanted, and live a happy and free life. Why would he want to rule the world?
Piling up messy things that don't belong to him? Isn't that just a pain in the ass?
So when faced with the emotional Mr. Malik, he only said that the current situation still needs to be observed patiently, and we have to continue to wait.
Poor old man Malik is already old. If this continues, he may not be able to see Hydra unite to conquer the world in his lifetime...
Richard's idea is very simple. The leader of this gang loves to grab territory and resources, so he can just grab it for himself. He doesn't want anything anyway, so just don't drag him into it.
However, things went counterproductive.
Let's put it this way... There are some people in the world who like to dance in minefields, and are even complacent about it, without even knowing what trouble they are getting into.
After meeting Malik, Richard realized as soon as he returned home that someone was already at home... and they were uninvited guests.
But he wasn't nervous or panicked - to be honest, he didn't think there was anyone else on this earth who was worthy of him.
Richard took out the key and opened the door as usual, changed his shoes, took off his coat, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and then came to his room unhurriedly.
Pushing open the bedroom door, he didn't show any panic when he saw Dr. Daniel Whitehall sitting in his chair with his legs arrogantly crossed, followed by a room of black agents.
Of course, the accident was still a bit unexpected. After all, his identity as the God of Hydra was completely kept secret and had not been noticed by anyone over the years.
With this posture now, it seems like the old guy Whitehall has noticed?
Sure enough, Whitehall sat upright when he entered the door, smiled and said: "You are busy with official business, right, Mr. Li? Or...'Hydra God'?"
So he really knew it.
But it doesn't really matter now. Richard shrugged his shoulders and admitted generously: "Oh, so you noticed."
"You disguise yourself very well, and you have indeed kept everyone in the dark all this time." Whitehall was still a little complacent when he said this, "But no matter how well you hide it, you will always leave subtle traces. And I,
He is someone who is good at catching clues."
"Congratulations, you found it."
Richard said, glancing left and right.
There seemed to be no one else in the manor. Gwen was in Avengers Tower, Jessica was at the newspaper office, and brother and sister Quicksilver and Wanda seemed to have gone shopping. Even Ganata, who usually stayed at home and never went out, had just
Left the earth.
If any of the tenants in his house were at home, Whitehall would probably not have the chance to sit on this chair and act like this.
Richard shook his head: "Lucky guy."
Whitehall: "Sorry, what did you just say?"
"nothing."
Richard walked in indifferently. The agents in the room pointed their guns at him alertly, but he ignored them all. He just walked to the small refrigerator in the room and took out a can.
beer.
"I think you should understand the current situation, so I'll get straight to the point." Whitehall said coldly, "Now we all know that you never show your true colors to others, even in front of your closest subordinates, because you
Know that once your identity is exposed, you are just a mortal without any sense of mystery. You may have some special abilities, but you are still a human being. We have many ways to attack you...or the people you care about.
.”
"Oh, really?" Richard took a sip of beer and made a "please" gesture, "If you are determined to do this, then take it easy, Dr. Whitehall. But here is a little personal advice...
