Chapter 161 Is it too late for me to clean up now?
1942, May!
Germany, Clausburg!
Before 1938, it was the Clausburg of the Republic of Austria, but later, the unfortunate Austria was annexed by Germany, and of course it became the German Clausburg.
This was during World War II, and almost three years had passed since Germany's lightning raid on Poland. Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries were all occupied by Germany.
The arrogant Maginot Line was breached, and Italy took advantage of the situation and teamed up with Germany to force France to surrender.
In September 1940, Germany began a large-scale bombing of London.
In July 1941, the neon attack on Pearl Harbor ushered in the Second World War.
At this point, World War II saw an important turning point. The Atlantic Charter and the United Nations Common Declaration were signed and released, and the World Anti-Japanese Alliance was established.
In early 1942, the German army suffered a tragic defeat in the Battle of Moscow, with more than 500,000 casualties, and the myth of invincibility was shattered.
When Russell appeared in the arsenal at Clausburg, he was completely confused. He was wearing a German uniform and an eye-catching badge on his left chest.
A skull and six curved tentacles!
Hydra!
A young socialist with good looks, wealth, talent, and good character has turned into a hydra that does all kinds of evil. Russell said he couldn't accept it. If he really wanted to name the advantages of this status, there is probably only one...
…Know what world you are in.
Marvel world!
I'm just not sure whether it's the comic book world or the movie world. Movies are best, and comics can't be offended. But if it's a movie, it's an independent [Captain America 1] or a super long prequel to [Thanos].
The reason why this place was determined to be [Captain America 1] was because Russell met John Schmidt, the leader of Hydra, the Red Skull.
At this time, Schmidt has been injected with the super soldier serum and wears a human skin to hide his handsome and handsome face. This guy has a charming personality and behaves like a medieval aristocrat. He wants money and people.
There are people who have brains and can be called heroes of the previous generation.
Some time ago, Schmidt obtained what he considered to be the power to change the world in Norway. He ordered people to renovate the Clausburg Arsenal, and also hired a top-notch scientist from Switzerland to collaborate on research.
Dr. Zola!
Don't ask Russell, as a soldier, why he knows so many secrets. He personally doesn't want to answer this question. Anyone who comes to Marvel as Schmidt's personal guard will not be proud of this.
"Captain Russell, the leader is waiting for you in the office."
"Copy that, I'll be right over."
After receiving the order, Russell frowned and walked towards Schmidt's office, wondering if his abnormality in the past few days had been discovered, and Schmidt was going to kill him and silence him.
Suddenly changing his identity and not having the same memory, even the best agents would inevitably reveal their flaws. It was already very difficult for Russell not to reveal his secrets on the spot.
"leader!"
Pushing open the door of the office, Russell saw Schmidt sitting behind his desk. The latter had a standard Germanic face and a good demeanor, although like the man in Berlin, he felt that he was a perfect Aryan.
There was another person in the office, Dr. Zola, who nodded after seeing Russell and started working on his research again.
Schmidt's office is very large. Except for the luxurious desk that shows his authority, the rest of the space is filled with various research equipment.
Before that, Russell didn't know that Schmidt was not only an ambitious man, but also an excellent scientist. His scientific research ability was good, maybe a little worse than the top smart people, but he was not the best in the world.
It's not an exaggeration.
"Captain, I have a task for you." Schmidt handed a document to Russell's hand, and then looked at him quietly.
Russell finished the document and stood up straight: "Chief, are there any other instructions?"
"No." Schmidt crossed his fingers on the table and raised his eyebrows at Russell: "Captain, don't you want to ask something about the mission?"
Russell shook his head decisively: "Chief, no problem is a problem under your leadership, because... long live Hydra!"
As he spoke, he clenched his hands into fists, straightened his arms slightly upwards and forward, and made a standard Hydra military salute.
"Very good, Captain, your performance is perfect." Schmidt smiled, and Russell's answer made him very satisfied.
"No, you are the most perfect."
"Okay, go down, I hope you start today." Schmidt put away his smile and turned cold: "Remember, the last thing I can tolerate is failure."
"Copy that, leader, I promise to complete the mission."
After finishing speaking, Russell turned and left the office.
When his footsteps completely faded away, Dr. Zola stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes: "Is there any problem with Mr. Captain? Why did you send him to perform the mission?"
Schmidt smiled faintly, poured himself half a glass of wine, picked up the glass and shook it gently, his gentle smile twisted into a ball through the transparent glass wall: "He has been a little weird recently, he seems to be a different person in his words and deeds, but I don't
Find out who he has been in contact with recently..."
"With all due respect, you can kill him. There is no need to give him a chance to prove himself."
"No, he has been with me for a long time and has saved my life several times. I can't be so heartless." Schmidt drank the drink in one gulp, frowned and poured himself another half glass.
Dr. Zola didn't know whether Schmidt's words were true or false. He shrugged and said: "If you are dissatisfied with him, you can leave it to me. I have a super soldier transformation plan on hand. If it succeeds, it will definitely not be compared to Bias."
Gold difference."
"Really?" Schmidt looked at Zola with a calm face, and the corners of his mouth raised seemed to be a smile.
Zola suddenly realized that Schmidt was Erskine's first successful super soldier, secretly thinking that she was seeking death, and quickly changed her words: "No, I...I mean, my ability is no better than Erskine, it's not that
Said you would be surpassed..."
"No need to explain. I believe your ability is above Erskine. At least your mind is stronger than his and you won't be on the wrong team."
Dr. Zola picked up his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, that's what I meant."
Schmidt smiled lightly, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I used to hate getting drunk. In order to keep my brain clear, I didn't even drink, but now I'm starting to miss that feeling. Human beings are indeed...
Only when you lose can you learn to cherish, are you right, Dr. Zola?"
"Yes, it is!"
…
After leaving the office, Russell opened the file. Inside was a photo and ID card. The black and white photo was his mission target.
Abraham Erskine!
Schmidt asked Russell to kill Dr. Erskine, who was researching the super-soldier serum. The latter was now serving the American empire. He was worried about the emergence of super soldiers like him, and regarded Erskine as a thorn in his side, so he quickly eliminated him.
Russell: "..."
This guy is going further and further down the path of being a villain!
If I remember correctly, the Hydra agent who killed Dr. Erskine in the movie was pinched to death by Captain America's chest muscles.
"Is it still too late for me to clear my name?"
Russell shook his head and boarded the car at the arsenal. He would make several stops before heading towards his destination, New York.
It is impossible to clear his name. His identity is Hydra. After the war, he may be recruited by the US emperor, but surrendering now will only lead to the electric chair. Considering that he was still Schmidt's bodyguard, before his death
Severe torture was inevitable, but the problem was that even after this beating, he could not produce any usable information, and Schmidt would not be able to escape the reputation of being a brain-dead fan.
There is another point, that is, the world mission. When meeting Schmidt, the world mission is triggered.
[World Mission: Create a superhero/villain with your own hands]
[The mission failed and was teleported to the big bed in Thanos’ bedroom by the Cosmic Cube]
The inexplicable missions and extremely deceptive mission punishments are the rhythm that forces him to stay in Hydra and take root.
One of the known super villains is Schmidt. He has nothing to do with him. He has nothing to do with the upcoming superhero Captain America. Even if he can sneak into Erskine's research team, he will be the one to create Captain America.
It was Erskine, not him.
Russell's target is Captain America's gay friend James Buchanan Barnes/Bucky Barnes, the future Winter Soldier. According to the plot, the opponent will be captured by Hydra and transformed into a super soldier. This
is the best opportunity.
It was a bit difficult. Russell was originally thinking about how to show off his scientific research capabilities and change his job to become a member of the research team. The order issued by Schmidt pointed out a clear way for him. If he did it properly, he should be able to get Ers
The Super Soldier Serum in Dr. King's hands will greatly reduce the difficulty of transforming the Winter Soldier.
Also, he had to find a way to improve his status in Hydra. The status of a close guard was far from enough.
By the way, Russell triggered three draws on Schmidt and Dr. Zola, 2 times on Schmidt and 1 time on Dr. Zola.
[Character Card: Schmidt (Red Skull)]
[Skill Card: Fencing Master (your swordsmanship is world-class)]
[Skill Card: Eight Languages (You are a language genius)]
The first two cards came from Schmidt, and the last one came from Dr. Zola. Dr. Zola was a good man who helped Russell overcome the language barrier and made him speak fluent German without being exposed.
Thanks to him, after using the skill card of 'Eight Languages', Russell's 'English Proficiency' permanent skill was upgraded.
[Language proficiency (even if you are mute, you can still communicate with the other party in sign language)]
