Sitwell didn't say anything, just hung up the phone silently. Read МThose who can be scolded by Director Pierce are all big guys. Because if they are not of high status, they would have been killed long ago, so why would they waste time scolding them.

This involves the struggle between big guys, and it is better for a small guy like him to hide. Hydra is not a monolithic entity. In name, Alexander Pierce is the boss, but it is limited to the United States. The leaders of Hydra in other regions have a cooperative relationship with Pierce, and there is also competition. In short, it is very complicated.

After hanging up Sitwell's phone, Pierce had no time to host any meetings. Anyway, it was a virtual meeting, and it didn't matter whether it was held or not.

So he left directly and returned to his manor.

Before going back, he issued a meeting call, requiring all Hydra leaders to respond.

When he got home, he went directly to the secret meeting room. He sat in the main seat and put on holographic glasses.

The moment the eyes were put on, the picture he saw was different. The originally empty conference table was full of people.

"Pierce, why summon us at this time? You know, it's still late here!" An old man with French emphasis asked.

This is Gideon Malik, a former member of the World Security Council. He is one of the oldest leaders in Hydra. During World War II, his family made a lot of efforts in the surrender of France. At the same time, his family is also the most important behind-the-scenes promoter of the Red Skull's establishment of Hydra.

"Winter Soldier is exposed!" Pierce didn't care about the other party's complaints at all and said directly.

"How could it be?!" A woman in a green dress asked in surprise.

She is Mrs. Viper. A real old monster. Old Germany is a stick. She helped Germany as early as World War I. However, after being defeated in World War I, she hid her identity and was invited by the Red Skull before World War II to become Mrs. Hydra.

Although she is already a hundred years old, she now looks like a young woman in her thirties. That's because she signed a contract with the ancient evil god Chthon, which gave her the ability to greatly slow down aging and almost stay young forever.

The only sequelae is that his aesthetic taste has gone astray. He likes green. Except for his skin, everything is green, even his lipstick is green.

"Huh, now this news has been known by intelligence agencies all over the United States. Do you think I will lie?" Pierce looked at a man who had been silent. The anger in his eyes was not concealed at all. "Daniel Whitehall, don't you explain it?"

Daniel Whitehall, whose real name is Werner Rhinehart, joined Hydra before World War II. He is a standard believer in science and controls many scientific research institutions in the world. He has lived from World War II to today, using "scientific power" to recover from old age to youth.

At the same time, he is also the host of the Winter Soldier Project. In other words, the Winter Soldier has always been controlled by him.

Of course, the Winter Soldier is not his property, but the common property of Hydra. Many assassination missions of Hydra are completed by the Winter Soldier. After all, it is the most successful test product of the super soldier serum at this stage. It is very rare.

But this time, no one else knows about the actions of the Winter Soldier.

"Mr. Daniel Whitehall, I think you really should explain." At this time, another man spoke. He wore a monocle and had an aristocratic accent.

He is Baron Stark, whose real name is Wolfgang von Stark. He was born into a Bavarian noble family in the late 19th century. His family used their wealth and knowledge to support the Nazi Party and eventually invested all their assets in Hydra. Stark's body has been chemically and mechanically enhanced to become extremely strong. Since he was a Nazi officer under Hitler, he has hardly aged.

He is also an old man. He still looks young now.

Daniel Whitehall, who was the general, did not panic at all, but spoke very calmly.

"Because it is worth it."

"The reason." Pierce said coldly.

"Vibranium, endless vibranium, is this reason enough?" Daniel Whitehall said calmly.

In fact, his anger is no less than Pierce's. He didn't expect the Winter Soldier to be exposed.

Originally, this secret belonged to him alone!

But now... he had to share it.

Vibranium, also known as sound-absorbing steel, is the most perfect metal that can be found on Earth at this stage. Vibranium is very hard, and its special molecular structure makes it almost indestructible, because its molecules are relatively static, making it almost non-conductive of heat and kinetic energy. This property allows it to absorb heat, energy and kinetic energy.

The most famous example is Captain America's shield!

In addition, adamantium is also the product of vibranium plus an alien substance and carbon alloy.

But the problem is that this metal is very rare. So far, the whole world has only discovered a little bit, and part of it has become Captain America's shield. Another part is in the hands of the US government and is one of the top secrets. Hydra doesn't know where it is. Another part is in the military... This part has been lost. At least that's what the military said.

Regarding the role of vibranium, it is not just to make shields or other cold weapons. On the contrary, in the eyes of scientists, that is the most wasteful approach. This metal is the best material for many high-precision instruments.

In short, it is a very precious strategic material.

"How is it possible!" Baron Strucker was the first to express his disbelief.

"Why not?" Daniel Whitehall said sarcastically. "Have you never thought about where Howard Stark's vibranium came from?"

Others looked over.

Of course they thought about it, but it was a pity that Howard always regarded it as a secret and didn't tell anyone.

"Did you find out?"

"No, to be precise, someone found me."

"Who?"

"Ulysses Klaue."

"The arms dealer?" Baron Strucker asked in surprise.

Others looked at Baron Strucker, they had never heard of this person.

Baron Strucker took the initiative to explain: "He is one of my partners, he doesn't know my true identity. He can provide a lot of high-quality arms and scarce materials. I didn't know he was actually in the vibranium business."

"Of course he won't tell you, he won't even tell anyone. After all...he himself didn't know that his family was actually related to vibranium. The vibranium that Howard Stark got back then was bought out from his family."

The Klaue family is a very old family that has been doing arms business since a long time ago. This family originally came from Britain. During the Napoleonic Wars, this family, as a British noble, sold arms to the French to use against their own country.

So the Klau family was expelled from Britain. Then the family settled in France, but soon the family's habit of reselling arms came back. During the Franco-Prussian War, they sold French arms to Prussia, resulting in France's defeat. Then the Klau family was liquidated again.

After that, the Klau family was divided into two branches, one stayed in Europe, and the other went to the New World to develop.

The one that stayed in Europe developed very well, while the one that went to the United States was relatively poor.

In the generation of Ulysses Klaue's grandfather, they discovered vibranium and sold it to Howard, so there was Captain America's shield.

In the generation of Ulysses Klaue's father, he hoped to replicate his father's feat and once again paid attention to vibranium, but this time the result was not good. Ulysses Klaue's father disappeared and never appeared again.

"You mean, he knows where the vibranium comes from?"

"He doesn't know, but he knows who knows!"

"Who!"

"A prince who wants revenge!"

At this moment, Pierce suddenly looked at Daniel Whitehall. "The King of Wakanda! Your target is the King of Wakanda!"

Pierce had been wondering what this had to do with the explosion of the UN building, until he said the word "prince", and Pierce quickly thought of the King of Wakanda.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence.

"That's right!" Daniel Whitehall admired Pierce's reaction ability.

"Wakanda? That place with only primitive tribes and rhinos actually produces vibranium?"

Wakanda is a country with a very rare presence in the international community. It is one of the few countries in Africa that has not been colonized.

Because it is useless to colonize, there is nothing there except grasslands, lions and rhinos. Hunting is okay, but colonization?

You will lose money!

This country is in the interior of Africa, with little rainfall, poor land, savannah everywhere, and no minerals. Moreover, the geographical location is bad, surrounded by deserts or mountains, and the cost of colonization there is too high. Therefore, during the colonial frenzy, only small European countries such as Portugal or Belgium that were unable to compete for good places went there to try their luck. As a result... not to mention making money from colonization, they even lost a lot.

So, it has been a forgotten country since the colonial period.

In modern times, its presence is not strong.

Most people probably haven't even heard of it.

"Haha, this is the most interesting part of this matter. The prince told me that this group of black people actually have technological capabilities far beyond the outside world! The reason why those countries failed to colonize is entirely because of the tricks of the Wakanda people, making those colonists think there is nothing there."

"Huh?"

Everyone looked confused, wondering if Daniel Whitehall had Alzheimer's disease.

Everyone here is a standard racist, but a very extreme one. When Pierce chose Nick Fury as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was ridiculed by them for a long time.

Even now, they still look down on black people.

"Don't doubt it. I can say such things. Naturally, I have verified it." Daniel Whitehall shrugged. He himself was born in **, so he was naturally an extreme racist.

Hit Daniel Whitehall told them the cause and effect.

It turned out that a long time ago, a huge meteorite fell on the African continent. And that meteorite was the original vibranium. After that, the ancestors of Wakanda discovered it and discovered vibranium. So when the whole of Africa was still in the period of ignorance, the Wakanda tribe began to use vibranium to develop rapidly.

But because of traditional reasons, this country in eastern Africa has been isolated from the world for centuries. On the surface, it is a poor and backward agricultural country, but in fact it is the most technologically advanced country on earth.

But not everyone is willing to this tradition. Thirty years ago, when the current King of Wakanda was still a prince, another prince of Wakanda, the younger brother of the late King of Wakanda, felt the current situation of oppression of black people and Wakanda's indifference to this situation, so he decided to change this situation.

But because he was not the heir to the king, he could not change the entire kingdom, so he decided to start a new business. He left Wakanda and abandoned his status. He came to the United States. As a result... naturally he thought too much and did not make any waves at all. Until he met Ulysses Klaue's father, the thief who planned to sneak into Wakanda to steal vibranium, the two hit it off and decided to steal vibranium to the outside world.

The prince, who was beaten by society, could not do anything until he had no money in the outside world, so he planned to use this to get funds to start a black revolution and let blacks be above all other races. According to him, it was to let blacks return to where they should be.

As a result, the matter was exposed.

The Kingdom of Wakanda decided to clean up the house.

So he sent his brother, the king of Wakanda who was killed in the explosion, to kill the prince who was seeking death.

By the way, he also killed Ulysses Klaue's father.

But no one knew that the second prince actually had a child in the United States.

That is, when the prince in distress grew up, he found Ulysses Klaue and planned to renew the family relationship and cooperate again!

But the problem is that one of them is a black man who can fight a little, and the other is just an arms dealer. Deal with Wakanda? Dream on!

So Ulysses Klaue found Daniel Whitehall.

Remember Ulysses Klaue's Klaue family, his cousin in Europe? Ulysses Klaue has been able to live so well these years because of his cousin. And this cousin has a connection with Daniel Whitehall, and Ulysses Klaue learned some details about Daniel Whitehall through his cousin.

So there was this cooperation.

If the plan wants to start, one thing must be done, that is to kill the current king of Wakanda!

When the plan is completed, the prince in distress promised that he would open the vibranium resources in Wakanda to Daniel Whitehall.

"So... you plan to help him finish the Prince's Revenge?"

"No... I prefer another story, called the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. Why should I spend money to buy vibranium? Why can't we die and own all the vibranium? Anyway, that country has no sense of existence. As long as we plan, we can completely swallow up the whole Wakanda!"

The eyes of others lit up. Indeed, since you Wakanda is so well hidden, then continue to hide! It's just convenient for them to do things!

"Ahem! Okay, this is all for the future. Even if we agree with your reasons. But the most important thing now is that the Winter Soldier has been discovered! How do we deal with it!"

Pierce suddenly said calmly.

The others also came back to their senses immediately. It is true that vibranium is great, but that is all for the future. What they need to consider is the present!

The exposure of the Winter Soldier will bring them a lot of unnecessary variables.

You know, Tony Stark and Captain America have been looking for traces of the Winter Soldier everywhere. This time they will definitely not let go so easily!

Daniel Whitehall did not shirk responsibility: "This time it was my fault that I did not plan well. This happened... I'm sorry. So, I decided to start the cleanup process if necessary. I can leave the decision to you, Pierce."
