Chapter 617 Restart of the Sentinel Project
The Atlantic Ocean, the mystery of the Bermuda Delta, where Hydra's secret base is located.
Red Skull Schmidt has been unhappy lately, very, very unhappy. In fact, since his resurrection, he has seldom been happy.
Although the war more than seventy years ago ended with the defeat of Hydra, he did not feel that he had failed at that time.
Because in fact, from the end of 1943, he had already prepared for the worst, including the failure of **. And how to deal with Hydra after failure.
Since then, Hydra's plans to retreat and infiltrate enemy organizations, or to break up into various organizations and companies, have begun to be implemented.
Although the defeat of World War II caused an incalculable loss to Hydra, it did not destroy Hydra.
The nine-headed snake is dead but not stiff. After being broken into parts, it actually brought the entire organization alive. Although the new Hydra is not as aggressive and extreme as the old Hydra, it is more flexible and stealthy.
Schmidt, who was revived seventy years later, is ambitious. He wants to accomplish the plans and goals that he failed to accomplish at the beginning.
Just like his first job, he deliberately released a group of new Hydra cadres and members who were not loyal to him when SHIELD started a fishing plan internally.
With the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., he killed a group of forces that were inconvenient for him to control, and at the same time brought a lot of trouble to S.H.I.E.L.D.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. fell and Nick Fury was caught, Schmidt didn't pursue the victory.
The reason is simple, although the Red Skull is the most important spiritual leader and soul figure of Hydra. But seventy years have passed, can you know what other people in the organization are thinking seventy years from now?
Especially those hydra forces that Schmidt dispersed seventy years ago, he needs to control them one by one and straighten these forces out.
The key point is that he needs to regain power. Only after Qiankun is arbitrary can Schmidt do what he wants to do.
Otherwise, in a huge organization like Hydra, it would be very unpleasant if someone restrained them. Because the plate is too big, the people below are likely to destroy his entire plan.
Therefore, SHIELD fell, and the power vacuum of SHIELD brought about by Nick's arrest, although SHIELD became relatively fragile. But Schmidt didn't do it either, because he also needed time to do some of his own things.
So the two super-large organizations between the pros and the villains seem to have a tacit understanding, forming a short-term balance.
Then Agent Hill became the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then S.H.I.E.L.D. fell into a financial crisis. Captain Rogers and the government military went to court. Use the power of public opinion to subdue the gentlemen on Capitol Hill.
During this period, Schmidt was also constantly shrinking his strength, and the middle-level cadres of Hydra changed layer after layer. The big cleansing and the big blood exchange are also going on inside Hydra, and the going on is very bloody and cruel.
When Schmidt finally mastered Hydra once again seventy years later, and recovered the originally scattered organizations like AIM Technology Investment Company, the power of Hydra began to expand further. .
To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. Now that Schmidt has finished his work on the inside, but the fight against the outside world has not yet begun.
Just when he was about to flex his muscles, the sudden blow stunned the entire Hydra organization.
This blow did not come from government intelligence agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. or God Lance. If it was these old opponents, Schmidt would not be confused.
What is really confusing is that the direction of the strike comes from another terrorist organization in this world. The organization known as the [Mutant Brotherhood].
To be honest, Schmidt was a little confused as to why the [Brotherhood of Mutants] was attacking Hydra. Because after Hydra went underground, he didn't have any enemies with terrorist organizations? !
It can even be said that the Hydra organization, in the eyes of most people, ended seventy years ago. When it was exposed to people's vision again, it was because of the fall of SHIELD.
And this news is not widely spread. Except for a small number of high-level US government officials, this information is kept confidential.
If it is said that at the beginning, Schmidt and other Hydra executives thought that the attack of the Brotherhood of Mutants was only from the frenzy of the terrorist organization.
Then when the attacks came one after another, and they were all aimed at Hydra.
Schmidt's red skull face looked terrifying under the reflection of the lights, making his men dare not breathe. The only sound in the conference room was the stomping of Schmidt's feet on the floor as he paced back and forth.
"Who can tell me what's going on?" Schmidt's tone was calm, but everyone could hear the anger in his calm tone: "From Malaysia, to New Guinea, to Chile, Peru and Mozambique .Our company, our base, and our air routes are constantly being destroyed. And almost every time the enemy finds the exact place and attacks the weak point!"
"In just a few months, Hydra has suffered losses almost equal to those in the war between 1941 and 1942!" Schmidt's skull eyes exuded a terrible light: "Who can tell me, Why would the Brotherhood of Mutants do this?!"
The place was very quiet. Only one hand was raised quietly.
Schmidt glanced over. It was Dr. Rice, the Chief Scientist of the Genetic Science Department of AIM, a Hydra-owned company.
Dr. Rice's father is Dr. Cusco, who used to be Schmidt's right-hand man and a confidant in Hydra. As Tresco's son, Dr. Rice was also reused after Schmidt came to power.
He raised his hand to indicate that he needed to speak, and Schmidt gave him a little gesture for him to speak. Dr. Rice coughed lightly, and then said: "Because the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood, his name is Eric Lanshere. But this is just his pseudonym. In fact, if I trace it up, I only recently came from Relevant records were found in the records left by my father."
"The leader of the mutants, he has another name: Max Eisenhardt. He is a mutant and also a Jew. The whole family was arrested in Germany in 1940 and sent to a concentration camp in the same year."
Dr. Rice tried to use neutral words to describe this passage. He didn't need to make it obvious, because just like that, Schmidt had already understood.
The Jews sent to concentration camps in 1940 were still mutants. The corners of Schmidt's eyes twitched, this is the aftermath left over from that year! Hydra's plan to use the mutant's X gene to create super soldiers did not succeed in the end.
One of the test subjects is probably this man known as Magneto. So now things can be straightened out.
"So, he wants to carry out a void revenge?" Schmidt looked at Dr. Rice and asked.
Rice didn't dare to meet Schmidt's eyes, he immediately lowered his head: "Actually, it's not just that, there are more complicated situations. In the 1960s, the S.H.I.E.L.D. once formed the organization of the first generation of X-Men .My father was among them."
"However, due to various reasons, my father's identity was finally exposed, and Magneto came to him to seek revenge. At that time, our organization captured his wife, as well as his newly born son and daughter." Dr. Rice The words aroused the interest of Red Skull.
"So, you want to say that his son and daughter are actually still in our hands? And this kind old father is going to save his children?"
Dr. Rice immediately replied: "Yes, respected leader! In fact, our organization has never stopped research on mutants! And many of the studies obtained over the years need to be attributed to the two mutants we captured."
"That's Magneto's son: Quicksilver and daughter: Scarlet Witch captured that year! And recently, Mr. Schmidt, I just recruited a very useful talent who can help you solve all the mutants' troubles in one go. "Dr. Rice is finally about to reveal his true intentions.
Schmidt said with great interest, "Let's hear it."
"Former U.S. Major General Stryker, he was originally in charge of the entire Weapon X project. The earliest Weapon X project was initiated by my father. The Weapon X project is not simply to create powerful mutant weapons, my lord." Dr. Rice bowed his head.
"Adhering to the theme of Hydra, mutants and Jews are heresies in the whole world. We should eliminate them! So my father designed the first and most important plan [Sentry], my lord, I think We are now facing a situation where it is time to restart [Sentinel]!"
