Hydra serves as the evergreen villain of Marvel Universe, as well as a professional scapegoating organization.

We have always adhered to the basic principle of doing things behind the scenes and never staying on our own terms.

Even though their leader Red Skull has gone on vacation to an alien planet.

Even if Axis Powers's alliance collapses, Berlin will be defeated.

Even if Superman threatens the world...

But no matter how serious the situation is, it is replaced by the remaining forces led by Baron Strucker.

Still not afraid of hardships, overcoming difficulties, working hard to achieve results, and striving to complete the performance tasks for the second half of the year.

This conscientious and diligent work attitude is simply touching.

At this time, Baron Strucker didn't know that Hydra had a big, red word "danger" on his head.

Not to mention that a certain Superman, who was greedy for the mission reward, was planning to do something to him.

He has great ambitions and wants to absorb nutrients and develop silently in this Red Bear standing on the snowy field.

With the help of the superpower, re-establish a Hydra empire.

"This country is like a giant with two legs of different lengths. Sooner or later, it will fall down."

Baron Strucker adjusted his monocle and stared at Red Square outside the window.

"And what we have to do is wait. Wait for the collapse of the Red Empire, and then revive the great empire on its corpse."

Under his leadership, Hydra reached a cooperative relationship with his former rival Leviathan.

The latter is also an ancient organization with a long history, named after the sea monster that symbolizes evil in the Bible.

As times change, power changes.

The original goal of Leviathan has been blurred, and instead it has become a tool in the hands of careerists and conspirators.

They took root early in Russia during the Tsarist era. The assassinations of Peter III and Ivan the Great were all related to Leviathan.

This is probably the reason why both organizations use sea monsters as their logos.

Leviathan and Hydra are very difficult to deal with.

Both sides like to hide behind the country, manipulate high-level officials, and engage in political games to influence the general trend of the world.

Hydra Among World War II, I chose Axis of Evil, chose Germany, and chose the mustache Fuhrer.

But Leviathan put all his chips on the Allied front and took a fancy to Soviet Union, who performed well in the Patriotic War and had amazing perseverance.

Facts have proved that Leviathan is slightly better than Hydra in terms of investment vision.

With the disappearance of Red Skull, the main forces of Hydra collapsed.

Even later, Saint General who was far away from Berlin created three Aryan Superman in an attempt to restore Axis Powers's decline.

But it was still to no avail, the real Superman was not on their side.

The fate of a country depends not only on individual struggle, but also on the course of history.

After losing Hydra, losing mustache Fuhrer, and losing Aryan Superman, Germany is doomed to failure.

After all, this is not the world line of "The Man in the High Castle".

"The people at Leviathan don't think so. They still hope that Soviet Union can drive America into dust and become the only superpower in the world."

In the well-heated room, First Baron Zemo, wearing a mask, said with a sneer.

In order to deal with Superman, Leviathan secretly pushed Soviet Union to launch a human body transformation plan.

For example, "Red Star Captain" is a project started to reproduce Super Soldier from America.

On the surface, it is to get a warrior as powerful as Captain America.

But First Baron Zemo knows that every country wants to have its own "Superman".

The only information that can be confirmed at present is that before Superman appeared, he participated in the America military's Super Soldier program and was injected with the serum developed by Abraham-Dr. Erskine.

As for why there is such a big gap between Captain America and Superman.

The outside world can only attribute it to the different effects of the serum on individuals and... some changes in details.

"The appearance of a being like Superman in this world is a miracle!"

Thinking of Superman who appeared in Paris like a god, Baron Strucker sighed with emotion.

"And miracles often cannot be replicated."

First Baron Zemo nodded in agreement, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

There is no doubt that Superman is the sword of Damascus Kree that hangs over the head of every country.

No one knows when it will fall, just like no one knows when Superman will break through the ceiling and appear in front of them.

"Your Excellency Baron, after my long-term observation of Superman."

First Baron Zemo's voice sounded a little muffled through the mask.

"He is completely different from Captain America."

"Captain America, Steve-Rogers, he has some firm beliefs, such as the flag, freedom, and morality."

"But Superman, although many people call him a 'lighthouse on earth', judging from his past performance, he does not belong to any camp."

First Baron Zemo is the backbone of the remnant party of Hydra and a confidant of Baron Strucker.

He is mainly responsible for intelligence work, and often battles of wits and courage with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., staging espionage dramas with each other.

Superman, Captain America, Howard-Stark... They are all the focus of Hydra.

First Baron Zemo is like a fanatical fan. He has watched all the video materials and public speeches about Superman.

Combining various deeds after World War II, he initially determined that Luke-Cahill, the Pentagon and the youngest Lieutenant General were like speculators.

"You mean, Superman can be won over by Hydra?"

Baron Strucker frowned.

If Superman joins Hydra, what should you do?

Abdication to make way for someone more worthy?

"It's impossible to win over. Hydra has no leverage to impress the other party."

First Baron Zemo shook his head. The other party had reached its peak in terms of power, reputation, etc.

"I think some older but also very practical methods can be adopted."

"Superman, he is not a god after all, he also has feelings."

Baron Strucker seemed to understand what First Baron Zemo meant, with a strange expression.

"Isn't the honey trap too outdated?"

It is hard for this bald baron who leads the remnants of Hydra to imagine that the aloof Superman would be interested in women.

"You can give it a try. Because apart from gossips and scandals and indecent private life, I can't find any breakthrough in Superman."

First Baron Zemo said helplessly.

If you can't solve the problem with rough methods, you can only use gentle methods.

Baron Strucker looked suspicious, he himself was not a womanizer.

Except for power and ambition, which can fill the empty heart, everything else is dispensable.

Referring to others, the bald baron subconsciously believed that Superman should also be a person in power who is pure and stoic.

Isn't it more attractive to rule the world and build great things than to have sex?

These days, there are not many pure careerists like Baron Strucker.

"There are so many female agents in Leviathan's Red Room. Finding a more outstanding 'Nightingale' might work wonders."

First Baron Zemo suggested.

Baron Strucker was noncommittal, thought for a few minutes, and nodded in agreement.

Although he is not optimistic about Zemo's plan, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Anyway, Hydra and Leviathan reached a cooperation. The former shared the research information of Super Soldier Serum, and the latter provided shelter.

"I will talk to Taras and let us choose a suitable candidate."

Baron Strucker said in a deep voice.

Taras is the leader of Red Room and the most famous spymaster.

KGB, whose full name is "Soviet Union National Security Committee", was prepared and organized by this person.

Later, Taras retreated behind the scenes and took over the spy training institution, Red Room, affiliated with Leviathan.

Every "Black Widow" has been trained and taught by him.

"Taras will gladly accept this challenge."

First Baron Zemo smiled lowly.

"Red Room's Black Widow is so famous that even Captain America almost fell into trouble."

"Maybe we can really conquer Superman and complete the mission."

In a red building located in the mountains, a middle-aged man with strong features and a beard put down the phone in his hand.

"Aimed at Superman?"

He frowned slightly and took out a file from the drawer on his right.

Fingers twirled as if searching for something.

On every profile page, the photos posted are of young girls.

They have childish faces and innocent eyes.

Soviet Union became one of the winners of World War II, and the price he had to pay was more than 26 million lives.

Countless families were broken up by the war.

Many children became orphans.

Red Room selects some children every year and trains them to become spies and agents.

Among them, there are men and women.

The male codename is "Raven" and the female codename is "Nightingale".

What they most often perform is to act as spies and spy on intelligence.

Most of them use a "beauty/male trap" to lure the target into revealing high-level secrets unknowingly.

At the same time, some "pornographic evidence" will be used to blackmail, bribe or instigate opponents.

"Hydra idiot, do you think you can gain Superman's trust by just sending a woman there?"

Thinking of what Baron Strucker said on the phone, the spy chief named "Taras" showed a disdainful smile towards laymen.

Just leave the above low-level spying information to KGB.

What Red Room needs to complete is more difficult infiltration, lurking and assassination.

"Claire..."

Taras stopped flipping through the files and stared at a blonde girl.

This is the first "Black Widow" of Red Room, a world-class ballet dancer and a respected artist - this is just the superficial identity.

Behind the scenes, she is actually Red Room's top spy and a social butterfly trained by Taras.

He specializes in traveling among Soviet Union senior executives and outside celebrities, and holds the secrets of many important people.

Leviathan relied on "Black Widow" to complete high-level penetration of Soviet Union and steal power.

"She was out in public too many times."

Taras thought for a while, shook his head.

Familiar faces are not convenient for him to design a script, and the romantic encounter between the ballet dancer and Superman is not attractive enough.

Continue to flip.

"Yegorova..."

Taras saw a girl wearing a red dress with outstanding temperament.

"Forget it, I need someone younger, preferably someone new."

The Yegorova in the photo is of the glamorous type, which can arouse male hormones, but cannot completely inspire men's protective desire.

Then turn the pages until you reach the last page.

Taras raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Romanoff..."

The photo shows a girl with long red hair. She is young and charming, like a flower in bud.

"That's her."
