Chapter 421: The Power of the Nitrate Bomb
After the end of World War II, the mighty Germany was defeated and declined, and the two most powerful countries in the world should be the Soviet Union and the United States.
Before the war ended, the United States and the Soviet Union had already begun to send a large number of agents and undercover agents to infiltrate each other's countries for the position of world hegemon.
Since Leviathan was a Soviet secret organization, everything made sense.
Whether the Soviets wanted to seize Howard's weapons of war or use it to cause chaos in the United States, it was a victory for them.
The interrogation continued, and according to the two men, all the things stolen from the Howard vault were kept here, and the other twelve items, including the chemical formula of the molecular nitrate, were given to their superiors.
There was no more information to be found on them, and Li Nan wanted to kill the three captives altogether, but after seeing Carter beside him, he changed his mind for her.
Being able to capture three spies from the Soviet Union and recover most of Howard's dangerous inventions would be of great help to Carter, and it would be useless for him to ask for credit for this as a consultant anyway.
After receiving the call, Director Dooley quickly led a large number of agents to the docks, and personally supervised the arrangement of all the belongings and the three captives into the car.
More than a dozen cars drove towards the branch of the Strategic Science Corps, and Li Nan drove his own car to follow.
Looking sideways at Carter beside him, Li Nan smiled: "How is it, Duley praised you just now, right?" β
Carter looked out the window and sighed, "I don't need their compliments, I just want them to see me as a real colleague in the future." β
"The war is over, in fact, you don't need to stay in the Strategic Science Corps, or come to my war company, I can hand over some business to you."
Carter smiled: "Hehe, Li Nan, thank you for your kindness, but I don't know how to make movies, how can I help you when I go to Hollywood?" β
"No, no, no." Li Nan raised his right hand from the steering wheel, shook his fingers lightly and said, "Making movies is just my business on the surface, but in fact, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the Hydra organization. β
"Hydra?" Hearing this familiar name, many unforgettable and sad memories came to Carter's mind, and of course, Captain America Rogers, who had left this world.
After a brief loss of consciousness, Carter stabilized his emotions and asked, "The Red Skull is dead, and all the Hydra secret bases have been destroyed by us, why are you still tracking down this organization?" β
"No, they're still there, do you remember the slogan of the Hydra Organization?"
"Chop off one head, and two new heads will grow?"
"That's right, after the death of the Red Skull, the Hydra organization has not been exterminated, and I have formed a secret operation team with my brothers who have retired from the killing team in the past few years, and have eliminated two secret Hydra branch organizations in other European countries."
Carter turned her head and looked at Li Nan so seriously for the first time, she realized that although she had known the Asian man in front of her for several years, she had never really understood him.
Originally, in Carter's eyes, Li Nan was cruel and ruthless on the battlefield, the opposite of the kind-hearted Rogers, and the attitude of the two towards women in life was also very different, she preferred the Captain America like the Virgin.
Li Nan and Howard chose to retire after the war and left the Strategic Science Corps, and although Carter didn't say anything, she still considered the two to be deserters for pleasure.
Now that he learned that Li Nan actually used his own strength to deal with the Hydra Organization in private, Carter couldn't help but be a little in awe of him.
Carter wasn't the type that Li Nan liked, so he didn't waste any effort on this British beauty from the beginning, and completely treated her like a comrade-in-arms who could be trusted.
Not caring about the change in Carter's expression, a folder appeared in Li Nan's hand and handed it over.
Carter was accustomed to Li Nan's frequent conjuring up things out of thin air, so he took the folder and looked at it carefully.
As soon as he read a few lines, Carter raised his head and asked in surprise, "This person's name is Klaus. Schmidt? β
Li Nan, who was driving the car, nodded, "Does it feel like this surname is familiar?" β
"The Red Skull's name is John. Schmidt, who was also the leader of a secret organization in Germany, also had the surname Schmidt. Carter, who noticed what the two had in common, couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that this Klaus has anything to do with the Red Skull?" β
"I don't know exactly how they're connected, but I do know that this Klaus also belongs to Hydra, and he's been doing a lot of brutal human experiments in concentration camps. If Howard hadn't called me, I'd probably have gone to Germany by now to eliminate this secret Hydra organization. β
To be honest, after knowing what Li Nan did, Carter was really a little tempted.
She was an adventurous woman by nature, otherwise she would not have given up her fiancΓ© and the affluent London life to join the Strategic Science Corps.
The vase life of the Strategic Science Corps in New York is not what she Carter wants, so she sits in the car and thinks about it.
"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded in front of him, and the orange flames continued to spread outward, and Li Nan, who was driving the car, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stepped on the brakes and reversed sharply.
Several cars transporting Howard's inventions, as well as Director Dooley, were at the back of the convoy, and when they saw the explosion ahead, these agents were not slow to react, and they also braked and backwards.
After retreating to a safe distance, Li Nan, who got out of the car, looked at the scene ahead, and he swore that he had never seen such a terrible explosion.
The orange fire first spread outward, and then began to shrink inward after reaching a certain range, and the powerful suction force swept the surrounding trees, flowers, masonry, and dirt, as well as more than a dozen vehicles and three Soviet spies in front of the convoy, and finally condensed everything into a circular mass with a radius of three meters.
All the surviving people stood in the distance for a while, and then cautiously approached the huge dirt pit.
Looking at the shattered corpse remains and twisted car parts on the ball, Li Nan muttered to himself, "It seems that the people of Leviathan have weaponized the chemical formula of molecular nitrides. β
Director Dooley and the other agents of the Strategic Science Corps fully demonstrated what it means to 'come in good spirits and return in defeat', and everyone returned to the branch in a depressed mood.
This time it was ambushed by the enemy, and nearly twenty agents died, which was already the heaviest loss of the Strategic Science Corps after the war, and the only good news was Howard's invention and the remote typewriter that the Leviathan used to communicate was not damaged in the explosion.
Howard's dangerous inventions were transported to the laboratory and sealed, so many people died that they didn't even see the enemy's face, and Director Dooley slammed the door and walked into his office in a fit of breath.
There are a lot of things that happened today, everyone is very tired both physically and mentally, looking at Carter, whose face was sinking like water, Li Nan persuaded: "You should also go back early, let's go back tomorrow to investigate the clues of the murderer." β
It was already dark outside, and the other grizzled agents were about to go home from work, when the remote typewriter that had been brought back suddenly moved on its own.
