Chapter 149: It's all about pretending
Grant knows very well that now, even if he adds Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger at the peak of the future, he will not be the opponent of the Ancient One, whether this Ancient One was more than sixty years ago or more than sixty years later. Coke has updated the finale, so what he said to Logan and Victor when he left is completely unfeasible at this point. He just wanted to add a psychological hint to the hearts of the Tiger and Wolf brothers--the ancient one was their mortal enemy-that's all. If the two half-brothers could tell their kind about the idea of erasing the entire race of the Ancient One someday in the future, there might be a mutant vs. Supreme Mage. If that happens, it's a surprise.
Now, Grant still has to focus on the present in 1944. He needed to find that one and make himself stronger through that one.
Alas, if he hadn't entered the Combat Academy of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy but the Academy of Science, maybe he would have been able to do his own research now, and he wouldn't have had to be so troublesome. Trying to gain the trust of the Nazis, his mixed-race man with a typical Asian face was as difficult as keeping Italy from dragging Nazi Germany in World War II......
I have to find another way.
In fact, with Grant's strength, if you wait until Hydra is beaten by the roaring commandos led by the American team, the effect may be better. But in that sensitive moment, trust is still the biggest problem. It's better to get through the inspection period now, and then use the confrontation with the American team to win trust and increase the stakes on yourself.
The whole process will definitely go on for a long time, and even if Animzola is caught by Captain America in history, it may not be over, or even begin. But even if Zola is caught, it's not out of the question. One day, more than sixty years later, Grant learned a lot of interesting news from someone who was solved by his own hands, one of which was that for more than 60 years after the fall of Hydra in 1945, Dr. Zola, who was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., has been playing an important role in the rebirth of Hydra!
So even the relationship with the rest of Hydra, or even the relationship with Red Skull himself, John Smidt, neither of them is the most important. The most important thing is to gain the trust of Dr. Zola. Even if you can't trust it completely. It is also necessary to achieve a tacit partnership with this person.
Thinking about these joints, many factors that were previously scrupulous are not important. It took a few days to find out the situation and make some preparations. Then that night, Grant showed up in Animzola's dormitory. Startled Dr. Zola, who had just walked in and closed the door.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have pressed that alarm. Dr. Zola. ”
The indifferent tone that Grant had learned from the ancient one to the extreme succeeded in scaring Animzola for the time being.
"Since you're in my room, I should be able to know who you are, right?" Placing his briefcase on the desk to the side, Zola forced her composure. "You look like you're from the Allies, but I don't think you're here to kill me."
"You're smart, Dr. Zola, smarter than anyone in Hydra. Even better than that one. Grant leaned his hands against the wall and nodded at the short, big guy in front of him, "I'm not here to kill you. ”
"That one" is, of course, the leader of Hydra, the Red Skull himself. So it was only natural that Zola wanted to go up to a certain point.
"You're here to persuade me to surrender on behalf of the Allies? Or do you want me to be your internal responder? Zora cautiously reached for another, more discreet alarm, "If that's the case......"
"Neither. So your hand can be withdrawn from there. ”
Grant glanced at Zola's hand and laughed. Zola had no choice but to withdraw his hand. Grant nodded in satisfaction.
"Your actions are a testament to your loyalty. Dr. Zola. At this point, Grant stared into the other man's eyes, "I'm here on behalf of the Führer." ”
When he thought Grant was an Allied man, Zola was only slightly surprised. Now hearing Grant say that he was the representative of the Führer, the doctor was completely shocked.
And by the time Grant showed the SS Einsatzgruppen mark, Zola was speechless.
Next, Grant ripped the marker off, gave it a military salute, and then squeezed it in his palm in front of Zola and brought it to his mouth. Swallow it.
In fact, it was banished.
When Grant opened his palm to reveal the already empty palm, Zora, who had realized something, had a panicked expression on his face.
"I'm here on a secret mission, please forgive me for not being able to prove my identity with anything more." Grant glanced at Zola, "You can relax." Dr. Zola. ”
By this time, Zora was already in a cold sweat.
"Secret mission, haha. I'll take you to Smith right away...... No, I'll take you to Lord Red Skull right away. ”
"Don't pretend, Dr. Zola, you know I'm here, and I'm looking for you."
"I don't quite understand. I ......"
"'In the shadow of the Führer, Hydra cannot grow and grow'. Schmidt's phrase was already known to the Führer. Compared to the Red Skull, who was already arrogant to the point of no one, the great Führer had a more rational and truthful view - under the influence of the Red Skull, Hydra was heading for collapse. The Führer also believed that if Hydra wanted to return to normalcy, it had to have a leader who was smart enough and sane enough. So, here I am. Looking at Zola, Grant put a gentle smile on his face, "So, Dr. Zola, what is your opinion?" ”
"I'm just a scientific researcher......"
Zola was still "dying", and as a result, his words were interrupted.
"Don't kid yourself, Dr. Zola. You yourself know quite well that when you are in this position, you have to choose a side to take sides. It was to turn his back on the great German Third Reich and go to extinction with the delusional Red Skull; Or carry the banner of Hydra in the glory of the Führer and bring Hydra to the top, it's all up to you. ”
At this point, Grant paused.
"If you're not interested in bringing Hydra to the top, we can talk about something else. What about scientific research? You're a scientific researcher, I thought you'd like this. ”
This is tantamount to stepping down Zola's stage. And Zora caught it with interest.
"In this regard, the Red Skull ...... Schmidt has an unprecedented source of power. It's not that I'm disrespectful to the Führer, it's that the energy source is too researchable, and I don't think the Führer has anything more special than it. ”
Speaking of which, it is basically a foregone conclusion. With a sigh of relief, Grant walked over to the bookshelf in Zola's room and picked it up.
"I am here not just to show the sincerity of the Führer, but the sincerity of myself as the Führer." Turning the bookshelf upside down with ease, Grant smiled and said, "I know you're secretly studying Abraham Erskine's serum, do you think my body is special enough?" ”
At this time, Zora was already stunned.
"You...... You're Erskine's too...... No, the intel said that Erskine's serum was only used on a scrawny man, turning that man into a strong man. That person won't be ......"
"Don't worry, that's not me. I said I'm not from the Allies, so you don't have to worry, Doctor. Grant's ability to barely reach the level of excellent spy in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assessment is now super-performing, "My strength, my speed, and even my reflexes are innate. So I believe my body is more valuable than that Captain America, or even more valuable than the Red Skull. As for the energy source you mentioned - why don't you study it at the same time? Working on two projects at the same time isn't that hard for you, right? If you really run into any inconvenience, why not merge the two projects together? ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, doctor." Grant can't remember the first time he reassured the other party, "Even if we get your support and your leadership, driving away the Red Skull will not happen overnight." You can cooperate with my plan while making false promises to him. When the time comes, you'll be able to get what you want. So let me ask again, what about your decision? (To be continued.) )xh118
