Chapter 831: Siberia
When you think of Siberia, you always have the impression of being barren and cold, but this is not the case, Siberia does have a part of Siberia near the Arctic Circle, but more than that, it is much warmer and richer.
Siberia is a vast area in North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west, to Cape Dezhnyov in the east, to the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the mountains of north-central Kazakhstan in the southwest, to Mongolia and the Trans-Khingan Mountains in the south, with an area of about 13 million square kilometers, except for the southwest end, almost all of them are in Russia.
The whole of Siberia is larger than the whole of China, and even in Russia, it accounts for more than two-thirds of the territory.
Those who have never been here have a preconception about this vast area, always associating it with snow, cold, emptiness, desolation and savagery.
According to the topography, Siberia can be divided into three parts: the West Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the East Siberian Mountains.
The west is the West Siberian Plain, the terrain is low and flat, the swamp is wide, the average altitude is 120 meters, the area is 2.74 million square kilometers, it is the third largest plain in the world, the resources contained here are very rich, coal, oil field reserves are very considerable, and it is also the granary of Russia.
The Central Siberian Plateau, with an average altitude of 300~500 meters, an area of 1.5 million square kilometers, the plateau is broken, the northwest is higher, the altitude is 1000~1500 meters, the tributaries of the Yenisei River are dense, the hydraulic resources are abundant, most of the area is covered with forests, mainly larch, and the mineral resources are very rich.
The mountainous region of East Siberia, with an area of 4,122,800 square kilometers, is one of the coldest regions in the world, preserving a large number of primitive coniferous forests, permafrost covering the whole territory, short wet summers, long and severe cold winters, ice periods of up to half a year, and the average annual temperature in most areas is below 0 degrees.
Among them, Oymyakon is known as the world's cold pole, with extreme temperatures reaching minus 73 degrees.
The living environment is harsh, most places are inaccessible, and basically unsuitable for human survival, and the destination of Rogers and Barnes is on an uninhabited ice field in Oymyakon.
As the plane flew rapidly through the snow-covered mountains, the weather was gloomy and the dark clouds were low, and Rogers' heart was also very heavy.
At this time, in a solemn atmosphere, Barnes couldn't help but ask, "Steve, what will happen to those friends of yours after we leave?" ”
"Anyway, I'll fix it." Rogers' tone was very resolute, he set the plane to autopilot, Shen Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "No, Ling is also there, he will take care of it more." Prerequisites ......"
Speaking of this, Rogers couldn't help but pause slightly, his heart became heavy again, and said, "The premise is that Ling and Vision don't fight." ”
Although I don't know that Ling Xiao's cultivation has broken through, with Rogers' sensitivity, from Ling Xiao's somewhat peculiar way of appearing this time, it can already be seen that he is much stronger than before, coupled with a vision whose strength is already very strong, if the two of them fight desperately, let alone an airport, even the entire city will be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the two of them.
Hearing the worry in Rogers' tone, Barnes couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is it worth it because I'm doing this, Steve?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Rogers turned around and said, "Over the years, when you did those things, it wasn't the real you, and you didn't have a choice. ”
"But I did, didn't I?" Barnes's face was full of stubbornness, a lot of things have been done, it's not something you want to or not.
The two of them who were talking to each other did not notice that in the corner of the back cabin of the plane, a little silver light flashed.
In the vast ice field, a hill tens of meters high suddenly erected, covered with snow for a hundred meters, and in this long silent world, a tank arrived from a distant place with the roar of tracks.
The tank slowly climbed to the top of the hill along the road that had once existed, and could not stop in front of a jutting hill.
This is where the Winter Warriors used to be carried out, Zemo walked down from the tank, and finally found the place of the comeback, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, from Berlin, Germany to Moscow, Russia, and then from Moscow to Oymyakon, and from Oymyakon to here, I don't know how many times in between, how much effort, he finally came here.
After World War II, Heinrich Zemo escaped the Allied trials and quietly lived in seclusion, and more than a decade later, he became in contact with Hydra.
Although there is a lot of grievances between Heinrich and the Red Skull, but now that the Red Skull has been missing for a long time, Hydra is in urgent need of revival, and he himself is one of the most important patriarchs.
However, compared to others, Heinrich Zemo's Hydra branch is not large, but the members in it can almost be said to be elite, not long after Captain America reappeared, the elderly Heinrich Zemo suddenly swallowed his breath and went to hell because of his past injuries.
Before the Hydra was exposed, there were other Hydra divisions of the patriarchal suppression, although some people were restless inside, but Helmut Zemo could still control it, but since the exposure of Hydra, one by one the divisions were destroyed, and they were completely cut off from each other, and now many people began to move, and the internal struggle suddenly became very fierce, and many old courtiers loyal to Zemo died inexplicably, and his rule suddenly became shaky.
In this operation, although Helmut Zemo has mobilized a lot of manpower, the real core task is only known to him, as long as he can control this group of winter warriors, then he can rely on them to suppress internal divisions, reorganize his forces, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback and restore the glory of the Zemo family, and this world should be ruled by the Zemo family.
I don't know how many years no one has been to this area, the walls outside the base are covered with a thick layer of ice, Zemo towards the position of the gate, and vigorously use a crowbar to clear the thick ice outside the password controller, he doesn't know if the controller can still be used normally, if not, then he has to find a way to open the gate of the base by himself, and this, is undoubtedly very difficult.
Fortunately, Zemo's luck was not bad, and when he smashed open the ice and entered the code he had obtained from the officer in charge of the place, the ice on the gate finally collapsed, and the gate cracked a crack.
That's it, after all, no one has been here for many years, and although the blockade on the gate has been opened, it can no longer be automatically bounced open, so Zemo had to push the gate open by himself, and there was an empty echo in the dark base.
It all started with that mission in December 1991, Hydra successfully obtained a batch of super soldier serum closest to the finished product, and then based on it, began to breed a group of Winter Warriors, but the experiment was not successful at the time, and the guards of the base who lost control of the Winter Warriors frantically attacked them, and finally had to lock them off again, hoping that after a long time, the control in their bodies would take effect.
A batch of research materials from that year were found inside the base, and after some research, Zemo entered the underground research base.
It is not easy to successfully open the experimental cabin that has been closed for almost thirty years, how to ensure that these winter warriors are not damaged after opening, and at the same time let them obey their orders, this is also a big test for Zemo himself, fortunately, he has done his homework.
Zemo, who was busy in the depths of the base at this time, didn't know that there were too many people staring at this base, and above his head, Rogers and Barnes had already arrived here, and just as they walked into the base, a silver light flashed into the base.
At the same time, after returning to the Avengers headquarters, Stark, who was helping Colonel Roddy recover from his injuries, was also investigating what Ling Xiao said, and at the same time launched a deeper investigation into Helmut Zemo, his past origins, his identity and pseudonym, his asset transactions, and finally directly traced his current whereabouts, from Berlin to Moscow, from Moscow to Northern Siberia, and finally, Stark also set off for Northern Siberia.
And behind Stark, there is also a person staring at him closely, and this person is the Black Panther.
