On the west side of Red Square, in front of the magnificent mausoleum built of red granite and black feldspar, Baron Strucker and his confidants, First Baron Zemo, arrived early.
They stood under the stable base and looked up at the solemn and simple building in front of them.
The remains of the great man known as "The Mentor" were placed in the Crystal coffin inside the mausoleum, and his body was covered with the Soviet Union national flag.
There is a lot of traffic here. Every Soviet person passing through the Red Square or famous tourist will pay their respects and offer flowers.
"Are you here too?"
A Volga sedan stopped, and Baron Strucker saw the spy chief Taras coming out.
As a former member of KGB and a senior executive of Leviathan, his appearance is much more high-profile.
After giving a few instructions, Red Square several groups of guards arrived and set up a vigil around the mausoleum to prevent pedestrians from approaching.
"Hydra cannot defy Superman's will, can Leviathan do it?"
Taras said so.
Baron Strucker feels sad.
When did the villain become so humble and devoid of any dignity?
"I heard that your trump card, Winter Soldier, was taken away by Superman?"
Before the bald baron's sympathy could last long, Taras made the chat awkward.
"Barnes is Superman's former comrade. It's normal for Hydra to hand him over."
Strucker coughed twice and corrected. "Please don't describe Superman as a robber. This is entirely of our own free will."
Taras felt a little contemptuous after hearing this, so he licked it?
As the leader of Hydra, he doesn't even have the most basic arrogance. It's really——
Ta-ta-ta!
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Taras's cold and paralyzed face changed, and he smiled, "Your Majesty General, it is really the good luck given to me by God to be able to see you again."
Bah!
Flattery villain!
Baron Strucker sneered secretly, then, not to be outdone, stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty General, I have had the honor to witness your heroic performance in defeating Aryan demons at Paris! Red Skull, Axis Powers, Berlin's Saint General, if they go against you, they are simply seeking their own death!"
The bald guy is also quite unscrupulous when it comes to flattering him.
"I have tried to dissuade them many times. It is unwise to become an enemy of Superman. I suggested surrendering as soon as possible, but they refused to listen and were really stubborn."
Taras was stunned, this guy was better at licking than himself.
no!
I can't lose!
As a former KGB executive and Red Room's spy chief, Taras also has his own pride.
"Your Majesty General, actually I admire you..."
"Okay, okay. Let's get down to business, you two."
Luke waved his hand, interrupting the dog-licking competition between these two guys.
He has no interest in these flatteries. Although it does sound pleasant, it is still far behind White Queen's flexible tongue that can tie cherry stems into knots.
"The reason why I want to meet you all is that I don't want to convey each other's opinions through In-Betweener. That would make us both appear insincere."
Luke, wearing a windbreaker, stopped in front of the great man's tomb.
Red Empire's song, "The Unbreakable Union", could be heard faintly in the distance.
Taras laughed awkwardly and confessed proactively, "Your Excellency, General, Leviathan respects you very much."
"We are just a part attached to this country. When the machine is running, the part cannot influence its direction, it can only follow it."
"No matter which camp you are on, General, Leviathan has no intention of becoming an enemy."
The spy chief was very smart and took himself out first.
The barriers to the bipolar pattern are getting tighter and tighter. Who knows which faction Superman belongs to.
No matter what, Leviathan relies on Soviet Union to develop.
It would do them no good if the red furry bear fell down.
"Don't get me wrong, as everyone knows, I am a pacifist and a firm supporter of a community with a shared future for mankind."
Luke smiled slightly and explained his position.
"It has nothing to do with me which side Leviathan is on. It's just that I, S.H.I.E.L.D., lack intelligence training personnel. I wonder if you have any ideas about changing your job."
Taras was stunned for a moment and did not react.
Is this to poach people?
And in front of Hydra?
"It's really enviable that I can be appreciated by His Excellency the General."
Baron Strucker seized the opportunity and started to act strangely.
"If it were me, I would definitely agree directly."
Taras is in a dilemma. The bald guy next to him will definitely let the news out.
What should we do when the organization feels that we have rebelled and are not loyal enough?
When working at Leviathan, loyalty is not absolute, that is absolute disloyalty!
Taras had already begun to panic. He subconsciously looked at Superman with a smile on his lips, and his heart skipped a beat.
As a spy chief who had presided over counter-revolutionary work, he knew very well that the organization's methods of dealing with traitors and unsteady elements were always very harsh.
"Don't rush to answer me, Taras, you can go back and think about it slowly."
Luke signaled the other party to stand down. Leviathan was not part of the mission requirements, so naturally he had no additional interest.
The most he can do is pack up the girl version of Natasha and train her properly. She will be a good... secretary.
Now, his driver is Nick-Fury, and his secretary is Black Widow.
After finishing Thor, the achievement of collecting Avengers veterans will be half completed.
"Strucker, do you have anything to say?"
Luke looked at the leader of one of the Hydra factions with a kind smile.
Staring at Taras's lonely back, the bald baron was shocked.
He didn't want to be designed and dug by Superman, so he simply took the initiative to confess. "James Buchanan-Barnes was originally the 'material' for Red Skull to conduct human trials. Later, Saint General took a fancy to him and selected him as a candidate for Aryan demons. It really has nothing to do with me."
"As early as when Your Majesty the General arrived at Moscow, I wanted to return him to your hands, but..."
Baron Strucker spoke quickly and urgently, with his mouth like a machine gun.
Winter Soldier has a close friendship with Captain America, and they are even more friends with Superman.
Although Hydra knows the news, who can be willing to send a Battleship-class soldier away.
Besides, without Winter Soldier, it would be impossible for Baron Strucker to reach cooperation with Leviathan.
This is the important position of high-end combat power!
"There is no need to mention the past."
Luke behaved very generously, which made Baron Strucker, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, heave a sigh of relief.
However, this relaxation did not last long.
"However, Strucker, your actions have caused extremely serious damage to Bucky's psychology and physiology."
Luke's tone became serious and he said seriously, "I hope you can make some compensation."
"This, this is what it should be! No problem!"
The bald baron smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.
He really wanted to ask Superman to finish the sentence at once.
Otherwise, your heart will be like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and you will easily get sick.
"For specific compensation, you can discuss it yourself with Captain America. He is the representative of Bucky."
Luke finally got to the point and said softly, "I am not Hydra's enemy, and I am not interested in completely annihilating you."
"I said these words to Dr. Zola, and now I say them to you again. I hope you can feel my sincerity."
Before Superman could start his rhetoric, persuade Hydra, and influence Baron Strucker, First Baron Zemo, who was a little transparent, raised his head and said, "General, just as you are a pacifist and a staunch supporter of a community with a shared future for mankind, Hydra actually has similar thoughts."
"The program we agree on is also to eliminate war and create a better and brighter future world."
"It's just that he was later used as a tool by the evil Axis Powers and as a weapon by the ambitious Red Skull to pursue his own selfish desires!"
Red Skull is really an all-around scapegoat.
Hearing this, Luke couldn't help but sigh.
"So, Hydra has been saddled with a dirty crime and has become an object of contempt."
First Baron Zemo completely ignored Baron Strucker's wink and spoke more energetically.
"I hope that your Excellency, General, can give Hydra a chance to be a new person. Let us join your team, feel the light of the beacon of justice, and experience the spirit of freedom and peace."
What a talent!
Luke's eyes flashed.
Being able to say such shameless words without changing his face, First Baron Zemo obviously sees the situation more clearly than Baron Strucker.
"Strucker, what do you think?"
He did not answer, but looked at the bald baron with a complicated expression.
How else could I watch?
Baron Strucker squeezed out a smile and echoed, "What Zemo said is exactly what I thought."
"Very well, I'm willing to give you a chance to start over."
Luke smiles with satisfaction and chatting with interesting people is always so pleasant.
"Strucker, Zemo, let us say that sentence together——"
Under the great man's tomb, the three of them stopped and stood.
From Red Square on the west side, the national anthem "The Unbreakable Union" was sung repeatedly, and it was nearing the end.
"Hail Hydra!"
This slogan was drowned in a loud, passionate and passionate tune.
