Chapter 37: Help from the Umbrella
Hydra has a long history, but since ancient times, they have never changed their obsession with supernatural powers and the search for objects in myths and legends. Some www.biquge.info of these things are nonsense, but some of them are real. According to the mythology of Asaph, the Red Skull found the Cosmic Cube in Northern Europe and used the power of the Cube to create a weapon to conquer the world. And as his protΓ©gΓ©, Daniel Howist, once owned one such item, and he was given the obelisk of the Cree.
In ancient times, a group of radical militants from the Kree Empire came to Earth. Because the Cree had waged a protracted war, but the front line was tight and suffering heavy casualties, they urgently needed a lot of cannon fodder to fill it. They genetically modified the earthlings of the time, mutating them to gain special powers in order to send them to the front line as consumables. However, when the plan was still in the experimental stage, it was stopped by other factions of Kree.
However, the key to the transformation of the earthlings by the Kree people, the obelisk that they became the prophet, was left on the earth. The object was found by Hydra, whom the Red Skull called a world-changing weapon, and was later given to Howise for safekeeping and study. Later, along with Howist's Austrian branch, this item was brought to life by Peggy Carter and his Roaring Commando team.
Already obsessed with the power of the obelisk, he did not know what the obelisk was for, he was convinced that he could use the obelisk to make a weapon of mass destruction, and he had been trying to retrieve it for nearly sixty years, but unfortunately he had not been able to do so.
"You know that thing?" said Howist's voice trembling. The obelisk of his dreams made him a little nervous.
"If you're talking about the obelisk, I think so. Evenson smiled and nodded.
"Who are you?" After confirming that the other party was talking about an obelisk, Howise was finally interested in Evenson's identity, and the person who was able to know about this matter and was ashamed to say that he wanted to help was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Let's reintroduce it. "Evenson reached out again," said Albert Wesker, executive officer of Umbrella Corporation. β
Umbrella Corporation? I haven't heard of it at all. Howist's mind thought about the unfamiliar term for a moment, and he realized that he had no information about the company at all, but none of that mattered, the only thing he cared about now was how the other party could help him get the obelisk, sixty years of waiting was too long.
"So Mr. Wesker, how have you and your company decided to help us?" Howist's tone was much more polite this time than at the beginning.
"If I say that the location of the obelisk is provided, you are certainly not interested. Evenson told the truth, and Howise did know where the obelisk was. "But, you know the place, why not go and get it back. β
"There's a division of U.S. troops stationed in that place. Howistt said. It's true to know the place, but knowing the place doesn't mean you can get it back. The special military warehouse where the obelisk is located, in the station of an American military division, wants to break through the defense of an American military division, go in and take out things, this is simply a fool's dream.
"So, what you need is not intelligence, but strength. Evenson said seductively.
"Strength? The power to confront a division of American troops? hehehe..." Howist's laughed unconsciously, it was really funny. What do you have with a division of US troops? Nearly 30,000 heavily armed US GIs, helicopter gunships, artillery, armored vehicles, and tanks are going to go head-to-head with them? You are so awesome, why can't you go to heaven?
"Mr. Howyst, I think you made a mistake. Evenson smiled and said, "We don't need to deal with a single U.S. division. β
"There's a U.S. division there, but not all of them are defending the warehouse. "Normally only two companies will be tasked with guarding the mission, and if you're infiltrating at night, it won't take you five minutes before they're spotted and arrive at the warehouse, during which time you'll only need to get rid of the sporadic sentries." And if they find that they can't eat you after a period of firefighting, they will call for reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrive, your operation should be twenty minutes away. β
"Twenty minutes isn't enough. After listening to Evenson's analysis, Howistt said. It is feasible to send an elite squad to infiltrate there, and it is also possible to resist two companies for twenty minutes. But in twenty minutes, let alone whether the obelisk can be found, even if it is found, how can it be evacuated?
"Listen to me, reinforcements will arrive in twenty minutes, but how many will come? against a squad lurking in?" Evenson craned his neck, "Two more companies at most, and if you can drag it out, they're calling for reinforcements, and it's probably going to be an hour since your operation started." β
The U.S. troops are also embarrassed, the four companies are all the strength of a reinforced battalion, and the enemy is only a small group of 20 or so people who have infiltrated in, are you embarrassed to ask for support? By the time they really felt that they could not eat it, they pulled down their faces and asked for support, it was estimated that it had dragged on for an hour.
"An hour is enough time for a small positional battle, may I ask Mr. Howist, is that enough? Evenson asked.
"Time is indeed enough, but how can we resist the attack of four wings of American troops. Howist's thought what the other party said was very beautiful, but just put it on the matter, a squad resisted a reinforced battalion of U.S. troops, which was unrealistic.
"That's why you need our help. "If you can do it yourself, why should I do it? "I can help you fight for this hour. β
"How to fight for it?" Howist was very curious about the other party's means. He envisioned a variety of scenarios, but he vetoed them. For example, provide a large number of combatants, but since it is an infiltration, it is impossible to have too many people, twenty or so is just right, and thirty will not be able to enter. It's useless to paralyze their communications, because once the exchange of fire begins, communications are still needed, and the fool knows that something is wrong, and then the other troops don't know the situation, and maybe more people will come.
"If you can't have too many people to infiltrate, then to delay for an hour, you can only improve the quality of the infiltrators. Evenson took out a small bottle with about a milliliter of green viscous liquid and placed it on the table. β
