Chapter 062 | Saving Private Bucky (III) : Red Skull
"The enemy is here... be quick!"
It didn't take long for the guards wearing Hydra armbands to arrive.
Only one figure stood on the muddy road.
The tall man in steel armor lifted the overturned military truck as if it were a dumbbell!
This shocking scene, beyond human comprehension, directly made the guards carrying energy guns lose their wits.
As it turns out, even Hydra's brainwashing fanaticism still left the desire for survival like ordinary people.
After seeing the invader's inhuman strength, a few guards shouted "Hail Hydra!" before, ran away without looking back.
"It's the Superman of the Allies! Notify the leader! Superman is here!"
Anxious shouts were sent back to the base.
Someone had recognized Luke's young as Superman, who frequently appeared in the newspapers these days.
"Super targeting ready!"
Luke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he positioned the giant tank at the gates of the base with precision.
With both arms slightly bent and legs sunk, it was like throwing a lead ball. He sent the several-ton military truck flying!
The group of Hydra guards that swarmed out looked at the military truck that came whirling through the air with disbelieving and shocked eyes.
Boom!
A tremendous bang shook the whole base.
Giant tanks were directly crushed by the military trucks and altogether scrapped.
Before he could adjust the cannon, the driver got crushed like a puddle of mush-like meat.
The explosion from the fire lit up the night sky.
The inside of the base was boiling.
Taking this opportunity, Rogers quickly changed into the black uniform of a Hydra guard, put on a helmet that hid his face, and blended into the base.
"Those Hydra soldiers ... are unlucky to meet Luke. "
Rogers no longer doubted the strength of his friend.
He finally knew what was going on behind 'Italy's conqueror' and 'capturer of Rome' as advertised by the Allies.
It is no wonder that every time he asked the Howling Commandos how they sneaked into Sicily and raided Venice Palace, those people always turned to praise Luke.
Now, it seems that the whole process was probably Luke's doing all the way, and the others watched and cheered.
"The military factory ... cells are in the back!"
Rogers, disguised as a Hydra soldier, successfully entered a military factory.
Those guards carrying energy guns, prompted by the alarm, all ran outside.
"What is this?"
Along the way, Rogers saw a huge missile head.
Several soldiers were tasked with embedding some blue, glowing energy blocks into it.
He stuffed a piece into his pocket with the idea of collecting intelligence and then headed for the cells where the captured soldiers were held.
...
A few minutes ago.
Red Skull is standing in the command room inside the base, imagining the future and making plans.
He talked about how to re-establish the Third Reich on the ruins of the war.
And then, through the power of the Hydra, the whole world will be in his pocket.
As for his audience, only one person. Hydra's chief scientist, Dr. Arnim Zola.
Red Skull, who possessed the Tesseract, firmly believed that he was the chosen one and the future ruler of this planet!
"Mr. Schmidt, the Führer wants us to provide more weapons to create a chance of victory on the front lines of battle; he is no longer content with resisting the Allied push but wants to blow a counter-attack!"
Dr. Zola said carefully.
The Führer, far away from Berlin, used a commanding tone to force Hydra to make more significant efforts to create more and more powerful energy weapons to arm the soldiers of the Axis Powers.
If he were to repeat what was said exactly, Red Skull, who has always wanted to be independent, would be furious again!
Dr. Zola felt that since he got Tesseract, the leader of Hydra's ambition had become more and more inflated, almost reaching an uncontrollable level.
"The Axis Powers are dying! Hitler massacred Jews on a large scale because of differences in wealth and religion and provoked the red bear of the Soviet Union. Then he made Italy an Ally, and the United States joined in... The Third Reich is about to become the public enemy of the world. The end of this war has already been decided, Zola!"
Red Skull had no respect for Hitler in his tone.
He was once a true fanatic admirer of the Führer, for which he joined the SS and became a loyal confidant like Heinrich Luitpold Himmler for a time.
However, Schmidt, who hadn't yet become Red Skull, entered the military, scientific research department, met Abraham Erskine and found the existence of the super-soldier serum.
In pursuit of his strength and perfection and loyalty to the Führer, Schmidt volunteered to become the first experimental subject. He became Red Skull due to the side effects of the first-generation serum.
Unfortunately, Hitler later felt that Schmidt, who was 'disfigured', no longer fit his image of 'Aryan' perfection.
He was assigned to the newly established Hydra on the pretext of establishing a foreign intelligence department.
"Hitler's ship is going to sink, even if I provide a large number of weapons to the Axis. Zola, do you want to be buried with him?"
Red Skull sneered.
"Hail Hydra!"
Dr. Zola held his hands flat in the air and shouted the pledge of loyalty.
"That's the smart choice. When the Valkyrie project succeeds, and half the world falls into ruins, I will be able to build an unprecedented Hydra empire with my own hands!"
Red Skull's voice raised. He had complete control over Hydra since long ago and changed it from a foreign intelligence department to an independent secret organization.
If not for the Allies, the Führer of the Third Reich, far away in Berlin, would have pounded the table and shouted in anger and then eliminated this colossal organization that was out of control!
"By the way, Dr. Zola, how is the Valkyrie Project coming along?"
Red Skull went down to business. The so-called 'Valkyrie' is a flying warhead embedded with blocks of Tesseract energy cubes.
They were no less potent than the hydrogen bombs that hadn't been made by the United States yet.
"All research institutes are actively working together, and the goals have been set. New York, Berlin, London, Moscow ... 'Valkyrie' is enough to wipe out these cities and lead countless people to their deaths!"
Dr. Zola replied with trepidation.
In his opinion, Red Skull was a madman.
Not only did he want to destroy the Allies, but also the Axis Powers.
From the devastated ruins, the new era belonged to Hydra.
"That's good. What Superman, what mutant!? Under 'Valkyrie', all beings are equal! The Tesseract is the future!"
Red Skull, looking frenzied, continued. "One day, I will ..."
An ear-splitting alarm interrupted the Hydra leader's voice, and he quickly activated the monitors to check the situation.
In the monitor, there was a tall figure tearing through the flames in the intense, fiery light, and a fluttering dark red cloak.
Its stern eyes stared straight at Red Skull through the surveillance camera.
....
Mass release completed.
