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 Joint 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!
He was still a good-looking, wealthy, talented, and decent socialist young man, but he turned around and became 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 identity, there is probably only one... …Know what world you’re in.
Marvel world!
I'm just not sure whether it's the comic book world or the movie world. Movies are the best, and comics can't be offended. But if it’s a movie, is it an independent [Captain America 1] or a super long prequel [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. He has a charming personality and behaves like a medieval aristocrat. He wants money and people. There must be people with brains and brains who can be called heroes of the previous generation.
Some time ago, Schmidt gained the power to change the world in Norway. He ordered people to transform the Clausburg Arsenal and hired a top-notch scientist from Switzerland to collaborate on research.
Dr. Zola!
Don't ask Russell, as a soldier, why he knew so many secrets. He personally didn't want to answer this question. Anyone who comes to Marvel as a close guard of Schmidt would 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, secretly worried that his abnormal behavior in the past few days had been discovered, and Schmidt was going to kill him and silence him.
Suddenly changing identities 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 office door, Russell saw Schmidt sitting behind his desk. The latter had a standard Germanic face and a good demeanor, although he, like the man in Berlin, 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 this, Russell did not know that Schmidt was not only an ambitious man, but also an excellent scientist. His scientific research ability is not outstanding. It may not be as good as the top smart people, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world.
"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 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 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's been a little weird recently. He seems to be a different person in his words and deeds, but I'm not 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 not as good as Erskine's, 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 it can you learn to cherish it, are you right, Dr. Zola?"
"Yes, it is!"
…
After leaving the office, Russell opened the file. Inside was a photo and ID. The black and white photo was the target of his mission.
Abraham Erskine!
Schmidt asked Russell to kill Dr. Erskine, who was studying the super-soldier serum. The latter now served 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 got rid of 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, he would be tortured before his death. The problem was that even after being beaten, he couldn't produce any usable information, so Schmidt's reputation as a brainless fan would not go away.
Another point 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]
Inexplicable missions and extremely deceptive mission punishments were the rhythm that forced him to stay in Hydra and take root.
One of the known supervillains is Schmidt. He has nothing to do with the already formed superhero, and he has nothing to do with the upcoming superhero Captain America. Even if he could sneak into Erskine's research team, Erskine was the one who created Captain America, not him.
Russell's target is Captain America's gay friend James Buchanan Barnes/Bucky Barnes, who will become the Winter Soldier in the future. 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 showed him a clear path. If he does it correctly, he should be able to get the Super Soldier Serum from Dr. Erskine, which 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, a good man who helped Russell overcome the language barrier and allowed him to speak fluent German without being exposed.
Thanks to him, Russell's 'English Proficiency' permanent skill was upgraded after using the 'Eight Languages' skill card.
[Language proficiency (even if you are mute, you can still communicate with the other party in sign language)]
