In the office, Schmidt sat in a chair with a gloomy face. What he was most worried about happened. Dr. Erskine created another super soldier.
Fortunately, Erskine is dead and he doesn't have to face an army of super soldiers.
"I will hand over the super soldier serum project to Dr. Zola. He is an outstanding human genetic engineer. You can join the team and study under him for a period of time."
"Don't worry, leader, I will definitely crack the super soldier serum for you and create an invincible super army for you."
Schmidt shook his head: "Don't be too happy yet. You have zero foundation in genetic engineering, and you have missed the best learning stage due to your age. If you don't show your talent in scientific research, I will transfer you out as a Soldiers, the battlefield is the best place for you."
"I understand, Chief!"
The research of super soldiers did not happen overnight. There are so many genetic scientists in the world, but only Erskine has succeeded, which shows how difficult it is. As Erskine's colleague at the time, Schmidt was the first to produce a super soldier. He knew that success was purely a fluke. Even with a complete formula, it was not 100% possible to create a serum.
Moreover, he once organized and analyzed Erskine's experimental data and concluded that the success rate was almost zero. This is an experiment that requires human lives. Tens of thousands of people may not succeed even once. Even if it succeeds, it will fail. Using tens of thousands of well-trained soldiers in exchange for a single powerful soldier would only be done by a mentally retarded person. .
"Captain!" Schmidt was not optimistic about this experiment: "Please remember that Hydra does not lack a scientist, but it lacks a general to lead the war."
"Chief, please forgive me, when it comes to leading troops in battle, you are the most outstanding strategist."
"But I can't lead troops to fight forever..." Schmidt stood up and came to Russell: "Hydra's goal is the entire world. I need someone to share the pressure with me, and you are that person."
"Chief, you have given me a reward."
Schmidt said profoundly: "Captain, I like ambitious people, because ambition makes people strong. I know you are trying to please me, but don't bury your talents in the laboratory just to please me." .”
"..."
"Go down. If you change your mind, you can always come to me."
For the next period of time, Russell was buried in the laboratory all day long, learning about biological genes from Dr. Zola. He showed amazing learning ability, and his progress was so fast that Zola was stunned.
Dr. Zola did not doubt that Russell was faking. If he knew it, he would know it, and if he didn't, he would not know it. Especially in scientific research, you can't just pretend if you want to. He decided that Russell was a genius and told Schmidt that Russell was a scientist who had been delayed by the army and should have been better.
This made Schmidt very depressed. Zola's research on the super soldier serum was enough. Hydra had as many scientific research talents as they wanted, and it didn't matter whether they had Russell or not.
He has been short of manpower recently, his small money has bottomed out, and he will soon be unable to make ends meet. He needs a war, a war of aggression!
…
In Germany, the mustachioed head of state was furious. He invested a large amount of money to make Hydra grow, but Schmidt turned out to be an immature white-eyed wolf and bit him backhand.
The angry head of state immediately sent troops to attack Hydra. He did not want to see Schmidt again and only asked that the body be taken back to Berlin.
Hydra and the German army went to war, because most of Hydra's bases were located in Germany, and the German army had almost unimpeded access. Except for the remote bases that were inaccessible, other bases were quickly leveled one by one.
The arsenal in Clausburg is one of the most important bases of Hydra, and the German army has hit it hardest here. Unfortunately, since Schmidt dared to openly rebel, he was naturally prepared to withstand Berlin's revenge. .
He couldn't organize a large-scale war, but a small group of troops could barely fight. With the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Hydra fought against the Germans in consecutive battles, beating the Führer's face until it crackled.
The Führer went berserk and threw more than a dozen pencils in a row, but he soon calmed down, sent someone to meet with Schmidt to negotiate peace, and marked out an area on the map of Europe. The German army and Hydra would not interfere with each other, grudges, etc. Conquer Europe and then liquidate.
The head of state was also helpless. The situation on the world's battlefields was changing rapidly. The Soviet-German battlefield consumed a large amount of effective forces. The US imperialism was like burning money to aid John Bull. The North African battlefield was defeated again and again. The most annoying thing is that the two deceitful allies not only failed to provide any assistance, but also repeatedly delayed their efforts.
Especially because of his interest, the head of state wished he could go to Rome in person, pry open Mussolini's head, and see how his delicate little brain grew.
The head of state was too exhausted to send a large army to encircle and suppress Hydra. Fortunately, we all had a common enemy and could cooperate for the time being.
Schmidt didn't want to fight with the Führer. Hydra's foundation was too shallow and it was still in the stage of development and growth. War would only consume its vitality. This was not what he wanted to see.
Both sides have their own agendas and signed an armistice agreement...
…
Time passed by one year. During this year, the German military operations around the world were in a quagmire. The head of state was unable to suppress Hydra and could only allow it to grow.
Schmidt was very smart and did not rush to expand, because the number of soldiers was still the biggest drawback restricting the development of Hydra. He knew that Berlin would definitely lose, and he would wait for the Allies and the Germans to bite the dog, and then come out to clean up the mess in the end.
This year, Hydra's main goal was to establish a base. Hydra's army also participated in several invasion operations. They all robbed and left, making money and manufacturing weapons.
The energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was continuously channeled out. In addition to energy guns and energy cannons, super bombs were also successfully created. Although the technology was not mature yet, with strategic weapons in hand, Schmidt was more confident and ordered people to rush to produce super engines for loading aircraft and tanks. He wanted to take over the entire European battlefield the moment the Führer was defeated.
Dr. Zola was the first person to successfully guide the energy of the Cosmic Cube. Schmidt valued him very much. During the period of rapid development, he was not allowed to continue researching the super soldier serum and had full authority to supervise the development of energy weapons.
As for Russell, he has become a researcher in the research team, second only to Dr. Zola in ability. In fact, in terms of biological genes, he is not much worse than Zola, but he just hides his clumsiness and does not show it.
By the way, all the researchers in the laboratory have been enslaved by Russell's skills, including Dr. Zola. Even the super weapon research team, he has infiltrated nearly 30% of the people.
Schmidt no longer paid attention to Russell and almost forgot that there was such a person under his command, so Russell's immediate superior became Dr. Zola. During a base reorganization, Zola transferred Russell out of Closburg and assigned him to a small, remote base.
This was Russell's own idea, always under Schmidt's nose, and he felt very insecure. The sub-base is different. Although it lacks defensive power, it is all his people. Even if it is not, he will spend some time.
Here, I would like to thank the unknown female corpse again!
Russell can't brainwash, doesn't have Schmidt's charisma, and can't win over people's hearts. He can only extract the soul of the other party and engrave the word "obedience" on it.
The effect is pretty good. There are currently more than 20 scientists in the branch base, 300 fully armed Hydra warriors holding energy guns, and eight armored vehicles loaded with energy cannons.
During this period, Russell saw the news about Steve in the newspaper. He should be called Captain America now. The captain is very popular in the United States. He is a drama actor who is loved by the public and has many crazy fans.
He flattened his mustache wildly on stage and sold bonds to buy arms for the front line. Because of his hard-working performances, bond sales increased by 10% in every state he went to, making an indelible contribution to the victory of the war.
To be fair, Russell felt that Steve was more of a threat on the stage than on the battlefield. War is fought for money. A super soldier cannot change the European battlefield, but it is not easy to cultivate a big star who can make money.
Based on the information provided by Dr. Zola, Russell learned that Schmidt was envious of Steve and envied his ability to make money.
Schmidt was only envious. He wanted to make money by touring all over Germany, but he didn't have the ability. He is skinny and skinny, has no pecs that can kill people, and does not have a bulging butt to attract attention. He is also a super soldier, and he can't even sell tickets.
On this day, Zola once again sent information to Russell. Hydra troops had a head-on conflict with the US military, defeated the US 107th Army Division, and captured a large number of surrendered soldiers.
"Check to see if there is a soldier named James Buchanan Barnes. If so, send it to me."
