Chapter 174: Shocked
(Seeking dissemination, seeking votes, seeking collections, seeking various support\('โโกโ)/)
Indeed, as the deputy had said, it would have been much easier to deal with with Animzola at his disposal. After all, Zola knew the Dark Shadow Samurai better than anyone present. Plus, even if Zola swallows cyanide like all the Hydra soldiers who were caught before, it will be a victory, even if he doesn't get more information about the Dark Shadow Samurai from Zola's mouth. Now that the new leader of Hydra has just taken office, the new young officers have not yet been able to fully grasp the resources they have just arrived, and the entire Hydra is still in a state of transition. If they smashed their new headquarters at this time and captured their leader again, it would be a heavy blow to Hydra's morale.
And that's the headquarters after all, the biggest fish is, of course, Zola, and there should be a lot of small fish, like those young officers who have just taken office. This is a great opportunity to dismantle Hydra from top to bottom! If he can wipe out the rest of the Hydra, then even if the Dark Shadow Warrior really pulls up a new team in other parts of Asia, he will lose the background of studying this Hydra, even if he is in the limelight for a while, and then he will fall into a situation where he is unable to succeed. When it really got to that point, he didn't have to worry about it.
Of course, as on the previous two occasions, some people raised suspicions. In addition, compared to Hydra, which had just experienced turmoil, this time the SSR not only had the upper hand, but also took the initiative, so some people have raised the argument that it should not be risked. As a result, those who put forward this argument were unanimously hostile to the American team, which had a bitter grudge against Hydra, and several members of the Roaring Commando team, which existed to deal with Hydra at all.
In the end, Colonel Phillips took the lead in this high-risk, high-reward operation.
However, there were a few twists and turns in the operation at the beginning of the operation, as there were some problems with the communication between the SSR and the local defenders.
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, at the intersection of the east-west route from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Suez Canal and the north-south route from Italy to North Africa, the island of Malta is of unrivalled strategic importance. The combat radius of the fighters taking off from the island covered almost all the important targets around the Mediterranean. After the outbreak of World War II, Nazi Germany and Italy tried more than once to snatch the island from the British. From June 1940 to August 1942, the side engaged in a series of fierce naval and air battles around the island. In the end, Britain paid the price of nearly 1,000 fighters and two aircraft carriers, as well as the heavy damage of two aircraft carriers, and counted more than 1,400 enemy planes. It stifled the air strike superiority and logistical support of Germany and Italy in the North African theater, which directly led to the crushing defeat of the German-Italian forces in the North African theater.
Subsequently, the island of Malta served as an outpost for the Allied invasion of Italy. Until now, it has been precarious, though several times. But it was still in the hands of the British.
As a result, when the SSR told the British troops stationed there that Hydra's new headquarters was on the island, he was almost scolded half to death by the officers on the other side. In the end, the British Chief of General Staff, Alan Brooke, who dared to raise the bar with Prime Minister Churchill, was contacted, which made the garrison on the island of Malta reluctantly cooperate.
After such a small turmoil, the next action went surprisingly smoothly. The resistance of Hydra was not without fierceness, and the young officers and ordinary soldiers fought to the death. It's a strong feeling. There were even several squads, led by young officers, who made a detour from the secret passages to the rear of the Allied forces, trying to turn the tide. However, under the fierce attack of the wolf-like SSR soldiers and the British troops stationed in the middle of the fire, they only resisted for eight hours before the whole line was broken, and with the number of people completely outnumbered. Although some members of the Hydra went out on missions and were not at headquarters, and there were some sporadic breakouts that escaped, Animzola, whom SSR had been thinking about for a long time, finally fell into his hands!
It is said that this new headquarters was dug in from below the sea horizon by Hydra soldiers under the personal command of Red Skull when the German-Italian alliance and the British fought here to seize the island in the most unexpected way possible. It's just that Hitler and the Red Skull gradually became incompatible, so Hydra never delivered this secret space, but developed it into another secret base.
A chance to turn the tide of the war was rewritten by the deterioration of the relationship between the two. This result is also quite gratifying. None of that mattered, though, the important thing was that the SSR had finally caught the most valuable fish since the start of the war, the non-cyanide swallowing Animzola, and many of them were eager to get out what he knew.
Zola is very cooperative, and it feels unreal. Where are the other sub-bases of Hydra, what tasks are some of the Hydra teams performing, what black technology does Hydra have, and so on. Every question that was asked, as long as he knew, he immediately gave the answer, without the slightest hesitation. And there are really a lot of things he doesn't know, most of them are related to the Dark Shadow Warrior. For example, the name of the Shadow Warrior, the true identity of the Shadow Warrior, where the Shadow Warrior came from, and so on. Zola also told the whole room of SSR dignitaries headed by Colonel Phillips about what Grant had told him that Hitler had sent to infiltrate the Einsatzgruppen of the Einsatzgruppen in Hydra. And now even Zora himself. I also know that this statement is just rhetoric. With such a sharp and trusted talent as the Shadow Warrior, Hitler's Nazi Germany would not have been reduced to a situation of being controlled everywhere.
In short, the Black Shadow Warrior is a terrifying figure who came out of nowhere. He approached Zola with a lie, and used Zola's connections to meet Red Skull and join Hydra. He used the resources of Hydra to thwart the allies and make a name for himself. When the Red Skull was about to destroy the world, he did not hesitate to kill the Red Skull. Subsequently, he also promoted Zora to the position of leader of Hydra and vigorously supported the young officers. With this astonishing array of means, this man of unknown origin managed to wreak havoc on the entire European battlefield in just a few months. The scariest thing is. Until now, no one knows his true purpose.
However, there is one thing that Animzola still knows about the Shadow Warriors. That's where he goes.
"I wouldn't dare say that the Shadow Warrior is greater than the Red Skull, but I'm sure he's much more rational and intelligent than Schmidt. He can always find the root of the incident from the chaos in the shortest possible time. Even though he was imprisoned and interrogated, Zora still couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "Now, he has infiltrated the United States with five Black Shadow troops. His destination was Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. โ
Hearing this, most of the people were nothing, but Colonel Phillips's face changed and turned pale! He stood up suddenly, staggering a little. To everyone's astonishment, he hurried over to a telephone on the other side of the room, picked up the microphone and dialed it. It can be noticed that his fingers tremble slightly.
"I think you can give up, Colonel." Zola said with a smile, "Judging by the time he set off, he must have taken control of it." โ
Hearing this, old Phillips shook his hand and the microphone fell. This left everyone in the room, except Zola, who had never seen an old colonel like this before.
"What the hell is in Los Alamos?"
Team America frowned and asked the question that most people wanted to know. Phillips took a deep breath before speaking.
"Trinity!"
No one else knows, but Phillips knows it all the better. It was the product of a mobilization of more than 100,000 people, three years and more than $2 billion. It was the code name of the world's first atomic bomb that was being tested! (To be continued.) )xh118
