Chapter 331: Latvia and Segovia
"So, why are we here?"
"We invite, should we say, hire you, to deal with Ultron. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"No, I'm Zhi, why are you and I here, meeting alone."
While he didn't wait until dinner, as Zorro joked, his interview with Dr. Doom didn't take place in the lobby of the lodging building. At the behest of Dr. Doom, the conversation began on the latter's plane.
"Because we need you to do a little more than the other invitees." Faced with Zorro's question, Doctor Doom said seriously.
According to Dr. Doom, they have made such a big battle, invited so many celebrities in the mercenary world, and did not do anything to keep it secret, just to divert the attention of the international community and reduce the pressure on Latvia, which is now a dictatorship.
"You're referring to the pressure you face as a dictator, right?" When he heard this, Zorro said unceremoniously.
Zorro was so faceless, and Dr. Doom didn't flip the table or anything. But that's normal. If Dr. Doom had been so easily provoked, he would have been angry when Zorro didn't cooperate. Furthermore, in such a short period of time, from the supporter, step by step to set up a situation, to finally successfully overthrow the previous political axe and get rid of the constraints of those foreign capital, and even turn the entire country into his own dictatorship, Dr. Doom naturally cannot be so superficial and careless. To use a relatively short word, he should be called moody and invisible.
Well, the hero.
The tyrant even admitted to Zorro that he had leaked the rumors that the Avengers were going to raid the Hydra stronghold in Segovia. Again, for that reason, he wanted to pass on the blame he had received internationally. This is exactly what Zorro had guessed. What Zorro didn't guess was that the Avengers knew that there was such a Hydra stronghold in Segovia, and he consciously "provided" the news to the Avengers!
The process is simple. Doctor Doom has always known that the Fantastic Four, who are still under the name of the Avengers, have always paid close attention to his whereabouts, after all, the two sides have a past worthy of making a series of movies - the woman that Mr. Fantastic loves, the Invisible Woman, used to be the woman of Doctor Doom, and the Invisible Woman still has a constant affection for Doctor Doom; In addition, Doctor Doom was once a rival to Mr. Fantastic, and was once the employer of all four of the Fantastic Four...... It's a big deal. And after Doctor Doom, the original Victor Dum, left the United States in a defeated battle because of the Undefeated Invisible Woman, the Fantastic Four still did not give up their vigilance against him. And after Victorum became the dictatorial leader of Latvia and received the title of Doctor Doom, the attention of the Fantastic Four was indeed reattached to him halfway around the world. It was in this situation that Doctor Doom spent some means, separated by several intermediaries, to let the Fantastic Four know about Hydra's stronghold in Segovia, so the Fantastic Four felt that the matter was big and reported the news to Captain America and Iron Man, and then there was a later incident. As for why Dr. Doom did this......
"Because I've been to that Hydra stronghold. As far as I know, that stronghold is not the same as the other bases of Hydra. It's a lot more advanced, but it's also a lot more dangerous, and the point is that it has what the Avengers wantβthe scepter that another prince of Asgard used to manipulate people's hearts when he invaded Gotham with aliens. I think you should remember it. If I'm not mistaken, you pretended to be controlled by it, and thus successfully did something that did not fit your identity and took away the Rubik's Cube of the universe! β
Zorro glanced at the other party: "You guessed it right, there is such a thing." But I don't think I'm mistaken, there must be other reasons why you revealed the existence of that Hydra stronghold to the Avengers. β
He said it so definitely that once again Doctor Doom was surprised.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple, with what I know about the Fantastic Four, even if they know that you rule Latvia, they won't attack you rashly. Not to mention that several of them have not yet eliminated the estrangement left by you, the point is that Mr. Fantastic as the leader has a very passive side of his personality. That is, they can't threaten you yet. And then...... You just said you've been to that Hydra's base, so I guess it's over there that really threatens you, Hydra? β
Looking at Zorro for a while, Doctor Doom finally came back to his senses.
"I can understand why you have such a reputation in the mercenary world, and are considered a high threat by the political axes of various countries. Your insight...... Gee! It seems that I was right to invite you to come. His excited voice came from under the enclosed metal mask, "Now you might as well guess...... Forget it, this one is not interesting, I'll just say it. β
It turned out that when Dr. Doom returned to Latvia from the United States and raised the banner of the country against the autocratic rule of the unorthodox religion, the Hydra stronghold in Segovia was one of the second foreign forces to come to him and try to fund him. Not only did the leader of the stronghold, Baron von Von Straker, one of the supreme leaders of Hydra, personally approach Doctor Doom, but they also showed him a tour of the stronghold in Segovia to show him their mighty strength, and provided him with some weapons that were not available on the market and were completely made by Hydra. As a result, Hydra quickly went from being "one of the second funders" to Dr. Doom's biggest ally. Even at the request of Doctor Doom, Baron Straker agreed to send his two unfinished "human weapons" - two superpowers - to the battlefield in Latvinia, where the two could "train" and master their superpowers. It can be said that this ally is really powerful.
But as the old saying goes, there are no permanent allies. Doctor Doom naturally knew that when he finished dealing with the authoritarian government and completed his control of Latvia, his biggest enemy would naturally be Hydra, who had already extended his hand to all aspects of Latvia. Thankfully, Hydra thought he was just an ordinary superpowered person and ignored his attainments in magic. Under his pre-emptive arrangement, Baron Straker thought that they were in control, but in fact they were all delusions that Doctor Doom had instilled in the Hydra members of Latvia through a mixture of magic and technology, and had erased all traces of his collusion with Hydra. And when he succeeded in turning Latvia into his dictatorship, Straker's side finally realized that something was wrong.
"So I put Strain in front of the Avengers before he got into trouble with me, and he was too tired to shoot at me."
Hearing this, Zorro, who has always played the role of a good listener, gave a thumbs up to the other party. The previous "hero" was really not wrong, this method of crossing the bridge and drawing the board, turning his face and not recognizing people...... Gee!
"It's not all." Zorro smiled and said, "Let the Avengers defeat that Hydra stronghold, so that you don't have to be retaliated against by von Straker and his Hydra." But that's not the first step to maximize the benefits. You secretly reveal the news of Stark and Captain America to raid Segovia to von Straker, let them fight to the death and lose both, and then you can be the profiteer, even if you can't secretly wipe out the people on both sides, at least you can wait for the opportunity to occupy the resources in the Hydra stronghold! Speaking of which, Zorro also smacked his lips, looking unfinished. Perfect plan, but unfortunately you didn't expect the unexpected factor of Ultron to appear, right? β
At this time, Doctor Doom also nodded a little regretfully: "Secretly eliminating the Avengers and Baron Straker is not in my plan - or I don't dare to think about it yet." As for the rest, you're right. So you can see why I brought you to deal with Ultron. Latvia is barely standing now, but Ultron has destroyed our only chance to rise for years to come! Think of how far I could have been if I had the skills that Baron Straker had mastered, and the whole country had supported me! β
