Chapter 29 Preparing for "Strengthening"

After listening to Dr. Guderian's introduction to the current faction of Nazu Hydra, Curran felt a little emotional.

To be honest, although Hydra in the previous life played an important villain role in Marvel movies.

But my impression of it is actually limited to knowing a few important leaders, understanding their cruel style, and their fiery ambitions.

As for the specific internal situation, it is rarely shown in comics and movies, and Curran will not bother to understand it.

A conversation with Dr. Guderian today made Hydra more vivid and real in his eyes.

The style is conservative, and the "Honeycomb School" still regards welcoming back the "Honeycomb" as its organizational philosophy.

Acting radically, the "Schmidt (Red Skull)" faction seeks to directly conquer the world by force.

Curran couldn't help laughing in his heart, there should be disagreements, if Hydra is monolithic and its structure is stable, it will be even more difficult for him to find opportunities to quickly gain power!

Dr. Guderian, who was still rambling on about the legitimacy of Baron Sterak and the "Hive" faction, was interrupted.

Curran asked him directly:
"So what do I need to do?"

Guderian originally wanted to make more foreshadowing, and then persuaded Curen to join his faction when the atmosphere was up.

Unexpectedly, Curran was so witty, so he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately told the other party the result of his discussion with Raphael:
"At present, Baron Strucker cannot return to the base for the time being. We lack a leader. It is not wise to have a direct conflict with Schmidt."

"So on the one hand, we will temporarily back down to Schmidt, but at the same time, we will show you and your scientific research results to the other party, showing that the hive can make great contributions to the organization only under our leadership."

"You may not be clear, the former chief executive of the base was a member of Schmidt, but the next three directors of scientific research, internal affairs, and security all belong to our faction, which puts the base under our control as a whole, but the first two The invasion of the enemy from the sky may bring a lot of changes, so keeping the position of the most important scientific research supervisor has become our bottom line..."

After listening to Dr. Guderian's words, Curran turned his face sideways and twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little disdainful.

The rapid growth of Schmidt's influence in Hydra may have a lot to do with the weak style of the old people of the "Hive" faction.

They only wanted to avoid the Red Skull's attack, and then keep their current territory. If it weren't for the huge loss caused by the black sky, they would feel that it would be very difficult for them to pass the level.

Now I guess I still feel that the job arrangement of my faction is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Red Skull doesn't dare to deal with them at will!

But this is also normal. After all, the previous Hydra has been passed down for many years, and it has a system that has been running for a long time. No matter how rotten it is, there are many people who are willing to believe in it.

It's a pity that the Red Skull is just a bad wolf who broke in suddenly and didn't want to obey the rules.

When the strength is weak, they are still willing to put away their fangs, but when the time comes, how can they care about other things and greedily swallow all the benefits into their stomachs.

Curran was sure that even if there was no black sky incident, Schmidt would come back suddenly this time, and he would forcefully place people he trusted in key positions.

These old guys, one counts as one, will be kicked out.

Expecting these guys to be provoked by him, to take the initiative to do it with the Red Skull, so that he can benefit from it, seems like he should never even think about it.

But Curran has to decide, if he can withstand most of Schmidt's pressure, are these guys willing to stand with him against the Red Skull?
Thinking of this, he pretended to frown and asked Dr. Guderian:

"I heard that Dr. Zola under Schmidt is a veteran scientist of Hydra, and he will also return to the base this time."

"With him joining the 'Hive', even if we won the position of scientific research director, with his own qualifications and the care of Chief Schmidt, can we really have real leadership in the 'Hive'?"

As soon as Curran finished speaking, Dr. Guderian's face darkened instantly. This Dr. Zola can be said to be his biggest competitor in Hydra.

The key point is that I really don't have the confidence to win against the opponent. With Baron Zemo before, neither of them had a chance to be in the position.

But now Baron Zemo is seriously injured. Three days have passed, and he is still in a state of sobriety and coma.

He must accept Zola's challenge and win, which is to repay the "Hive" investment in himself for many years.

So Dr. Guderian gritted his teeth and replied:
"Don't worry, I will get the position of scientific research director, and use the best scientific research results and the most resolute attitude to drive Zola out of the hive."

"Okay, I don't worry about that, as long as you are not afraid of the pressure from Schmidt, then I will naturally take care of Zola. I heard that he is an expert in genetic engineering. Hehe, that is not the field I am currently studying, just right I have some achievements that I want him to appreciate!"

After listening to Guderian's words, Curran has confirmed that what they said is to keep the position of scientific research director is really the bottom line of the "Hive School".

As for the probability that the Red Skull will arrange for one of his own people to serve as the research supervisor, based on Curran's understanding of him, it is also [-]% sure.

Then when the time comes, when the Red Skull announces the appointment, Dr. Guderian and the others will inevitably feel strong dissatisfaction. They are no longer willing to confront the Red Skull head-on, and they must respond to express their position.

But in the end, under the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the "Hive" faction was completely defeated as the ending.

Curran straightened out his thoughts while tidying up the desktop.

If the "Hive" faction is about to fail and enters the arena as the savior, then his status in this faction will take a leap forward, and his plan to become the leader of Hydra will take a big step forward.

Thinking of this, he decided to unveil tonight a certain scene that Curran was planning to stage again in a few days.

And Dr. Guderian, who had swore and self-motivated before, his eyes lit up after listening to Curran's words.

Although what the other party said was very arrogant, he did have this qualification, and according to what he said, it seemed that he had already achieved results in the human body enhancement experiment in just three days.

Facing Zola alone, he might feel the pressure, but with the help of the young man in front of him, it is definitely no problem to suppress that old opponent in scientific research.

Dr. Guderian followed Curran who walked out of the office, wanting to find out what he was talking about.

But I didn't expect that Curen would not answer his words at all, but moved to other topics:

"Dr. Guderian, you said you backed down temporarily, but in what way are you planning to express your attitude to Schmidt?"

This problem is obviously bothering Dr. Guderian and the others. If the expression is too explicit, it will weaken the momentum, be too cryptic, and worry that the Red Skull will not understand.

In the end, he hesitantly told Curran the undecided plan:
"We heard that Schmidt had all his Blood Guards wear one-piece combat uniforms and masks, and we are going to have the base guards put on the same equipment to show our respect for him..."

Curran was speechless for a while when he heard this plan, but his mind turned, and he suddenly had an idea:

"Director Whitehall should have a similar arrangement. Maybe you can secretly leak to him the idea of ​​painting a red skull pattern on the mask."

"The red skull is a very good idea. This is the symbol of Hydra, which can show that we are part of Hydra together. It's just strange, why should we leak this idea to Whitehall, can't we do it alone?"

It was just a whim, and Curran, who was looking for fun, was unwilling to explain more, and directly reminded Dr. Guderian that it doesn't matter if it is leaked to Whitehall or not, just don't wear red skull masks on his guards.

Then, he ignored the other party and walked towards an advanced human laboratory.

On the way, he found Master again and asked him to call Ophelia...
