Chapter 2711 Hollywood Rhapsody (End)
The Red Skull's life became increasingly difficult, because Hitler was now quite dependent on the Gestapo. Only they could stabilize the situation in Berlin and prevent the theory of surrender from fermenting widely.
If the people's hearts cannot be stabilized, chaos will happen in a matter of minutes. The Soviet troops outside the city are already closing in step by step. If everyone thinks of surrendering, then it will be completely over.
Therefore, the secret police force must not have any problems. If it loses its deterrent power at this time and fails to intimidate those who want to surrender, then it will be completely finished.
At this moment, the mustache man was on the verge of madness, but he was not really crazy after all. Or it could be said that this was the last lucid moment in his life. He knew which was the best knife to use now.
In the past, he needed the help of Hydra to spread the German deterrence around the world, but now they are trapped in a corner. No matter how useful Hydra's intelligence is, it is useless. In terms of importance, it is naturally not as important as the Gestapo that has been operating locally for many years.
Adolf made his choice again, and the power in the hands of the Red Skull began to be weakened little by little.
Of course, Red Skull could not accept this situation, so he had to start considering using the ultimate weapon. Since the German side was unreliable, he would turn to the Americans. At least under the nuclear threat, there would be people in the United States willing to talk to him.
Red Skull began to frequently urge the base to conduct simulated missile launch drills, but the information was soon leaked and eventually placed on the desk of the Supreme Leader.
Of course, it's not very specific, but the more vague it is, the more suspicion it will arouse. The first measure some people take to save themselves is often the one they are most confident in. Why on earth would a base become the Red Skull's first choice?
The investigation against Red Skull began, and he was placed under house arrest in his own home. The Gestapo began to suppress his subordinates like crazy, and countless Hydras were arrested on charges of spreading surrender theories. Under the cover of such actions, a secret force sneaked up to the vicinity of the base.
Red Skull has not been running the base for nothing over the years, he still has a lot of wealth. Someone keeps passing on information to him, and when he learns that Little Mustache has really taken action against the base, he can no longer sit still.
He knew that now was not a good time to press the button. He hadn't even contacted a reliable American yet. A nuclear bomb was most deterrent when it was not launched. He needed to wait for the right price instead of destroying himself.
In order to ensure that the nuclear bomb can be kept safely until he is ready to start negotiations, Red Skull has only one option left, which is to move the nuclear bomb.
This activity must be carried out in secret, but Red Skull does not have many men left. After much thought, he only found one person who could become a community of interests with him, and that is Baron Zemo.
But Baron Zemo had long disappeared, and the new person who replaced him was called Doctor. Red Skull knew nothing about him, but since he was Hydra, there was naturally room for negotiation.
The Red Skull found the right time to have a secret talk with Schiller. What he didn't know was that during the time he was under house arrest, Nick's team had basically recovered and Captain America was ready to go.
Finally, one night, a secret team was sent from the base to transfer the nuclear warhead. The Red Skull sent a mutant who was good at carrying, so the nuclear warhead could be moved to the target location without any large equipment, but what he didn't know was that the nuclear warhead had been replaced long ago.
The mutant he found was not even Alpha level. He needed to accumulate strength for a long time to move heavy objects. The time period for him to accumulate strength was just enough to move the original nuclear warhead, but this one was more than 200 times larger, and he could not lift it no matter what.
Therefore, Nick's team intercepted the team with almost no effort, and Captain America used his superb fighting skills to kill almost all the escort personnel, including many technicians.
Red Skull kept a very close eye on this nuclear warhead. No one except his confidants could touch it. The only few technicians who had touched the original nuclear warhead were killed before they could report the strange changes of the nuclear warhead to Red Skull, so Red Skull had no way of knowing anything.
Nick believes that the nuclear warhead made by Hydra might be the behemoth in front of them. However, they don’t understand why Hydra, which claims to be a snake, has a huge bat printed in the center of the nuclear warhead.
But no matter what, it was still a hugely successful operation. Nick immediately reported the good news to the US headquarters. Naturally, the headquarters asked them to transport the nuclear warhead back to their country. The most important thing was that it must not fall into the hands of the Soviets.
So it is definitely impossible to transport it back now, because there are Soviet troops everywhere outside Berlin, but staying where it is would be even more troublesome. Congress requires Nick to find a way even if there is no other way, and to create conditions even if there are no conditions. Within ten days, they must see this nuclear warhead appear on American soil.
But Nick no longer had the energy to spare.
They were just a team sent to investigate the situation and spy on Hydra's actions, not a regular army. Even if they were a regular army, they would not have the connections, in this case, to transport such a large object while completely avoiding the KGB's eyes.
In fact, being able to hide it also depends on the Red Skull's meticulousness. At least the second place that the Red Skull found to hide the nuclear bomb was relatively hidden. Otherwise, Nick would not be able to hide it for even two days and would be raided by the Soviet army.
There were only ten days left, and Nick's hair was almost turning white with worry. In the end, he had to turn to the one person he least wanted to ask for help, that is, the doctor.
"You have to think of something," Nick said. "You know what would happen if this thing fell into the hands of the Russians."
"It won't have any consequences," Schiller said. "They have a lot of bigger nuclear bombs than this."
"But this is a secret nuclear bomb, you know?" Nick said in a raised voice, "It means it's not registered, and if it gets to anyone, no one can find the murderer!"
"Won't there be serious consequences if the United States takes it?"
Nick was speechless, but he still argued: "Since you are the head of New York State, it is better to put this thing within your jurisdiction than so far away. I believe your business and construction there are much better than here."
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm afraid this will require cooperation between the two of us."
"What do you mean?"
"I heard that Congress intends to organize an agency to manage people with super powers. What role do you think you will play in it?"
Nick's face darkened. He said, "Very good, doctor. I can't hide anything from you. To be honest, my teacher Alexander Pierce has some ideas about this."
"Just your teacher?"
Nick remained silent, and Schiller said, "You know their tricks won't work, but you still have to follow them into a dead end?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know how much benefit our cooperation will bring. In peacetime, there is no room for you to show your talents. Without trouble, there will be no merit..."
"I don't understand you."
"Then let's not beat around the bush. When selecting people, please open a loophole and let my people in. We can create endless troubles for this organization in the future, and naturally there will be a stage for you to perform."
"I'm afraid I beg to differ."
"But it's definitely not for justice." Schiller smiled and said, "The first thing that comes to your mind is not morality. You subconsciously think about how to hide it from everyone."
Nixon was surprised and asked, "Can you read minds?"
"It's much more than that," Shiller said. "I can tell you a way that's guaranteed to be more efficient than any answer you can come up with."
"what is that?"
"Either there are none, or there are all." Schiller's words were earth-shattering. He said, "As long as they are all enemies, there is no enemy at all. That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."
Nick hung up the phone. How could he not figure it out? When this sentence came out, he understood what Schiller meant. As long as the organization was all Hydra in the future, no one would be able to report it.
But isn't this crazy? Young Nick would have thought so, but he couldn't help but think that it would work perfectly, because anything a normal agent would do for a paycheck, Hydra would do for cover and trust.
In fact they would do a better job, because no one is better at dealing with Hydra than Hydra.
But Nick still doesn't understand what Schiller's ultimate goal is. He must have such a goal, but it is currently hidden in the thick fog. Neither Nick, Eric, nor Red Skull can see it clearly.
Nick finally agreed to Schiller's request.
Nine days later, the nuclear warhead boarded a transport plane to the United States and arrived safely on the night of the tenth day.
Without the interference of these special figures, history returned to its original course. A few months later, Germany announced its unconditional surrender, and there was no war in Berlin from then on.
A few months later, the northern hemisphere entered summer, and Nick had already returned, but now he was facing another trouble.
When Hitler's government collapsed, the Red Skull fought desperately, and Captain America died with him and fell into the deep sea. Congress urgently needed another leader to stand up because they were about to do something big.
Nick got the news, so he had to contact the person he didn't want to contact again. He picked up the phone and said to the other end, "...their emperor refused to accept the Potsdam Declaration, and the so-called 100 million suicide plan has become more fanatical."
"The casualties of the Allied soldiers have far exceeded the acceptable range, and the enemy's resistance seems to have just begun. They cannot accept more losses. At the latest in three days, they will sign the consent form for the bombing."
"what are you planning to do?"
"The bombing plan is imperative, and I will suggest that they use the atomic bomb I brought back." Nick said, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you control it."
The other party seemed to chuckle, but Nick said, "I have no intention of disrupting our cooperation, but this will help balance it. You know it's unfair to put such a weapon in anyone's hands, especially in the hands of a group of terrorists who don't care about the country and the people. We dare not use it, but you are different, so it's better to consume it as soon as possible, which is good for everyone."
"If this is your decision, I have no problem with it."
Nick took a deep breath and hung up the phone. He knew that being involved in this kind of thing meant that he would be responsible for countless lives, but as that damn Hydra said, morality was never the first thing that came to his mind.
What Nick didn't expect was that what he had to bear was much more than he imagined.
One day, an intercontinental ballistic missile launch base in a western state of the United States received a launch order as usual. The operator completed all safety confirmation procedures and pressed the launch button.
Thousands of intercontinental missiles roared out of the cabin, one of which was particularly large and had a bat logo printed on it.
Half an hour later, the target country announced that the interception had failed and asked the people to immediately evacuate to the air-raid shelter for emergency refuge.
An hour later, the largest human extinction event in history was recorded -
The target island sank.
A true rhapsody!
