Chapter 2603

Red Skull's days were getting worse and worse, because Hitler was now quite dependent on the Gestapo. Only they could stabilize the situation in Berlin and prevent the surrender theory from spreading.

If the hearts of the people couldn't be stabilized, then chaos would happen in minutes. Originally, the Soviet army outside the city was pressing step by step. If everyone was thinking about surrender, then it was completely finished.

So secret police teams must not have problems. If they couldn't achieve deterrence and couldn't deter those who wanted to surrender at this time, then the institution would have no meaning of existence at all.

At this time, the little mustache was on the verge of madness, but after all, he hadn't really gone crazy, or this was the last clear time in his life. He knew who was the most useful knife now.

In the past, he needed to use Hydra to spread the deterrence of the German army all over the world, but now they were trapped in a corner. Hydra's intelligence was no longer useful. From the perspective of importance, it was naturally not as good as the Gestapo that had been operating locally for many years.

Adolf made his choice again, and the power in Red Skull's hands began to be weakened bit by bit.

Red Skull naturally couldn't accept this situation. He had to start considering using the final weapon. Since the German side couldn't be relied upon, he would find Americans. At least under the nuclear threat, there would be someone in the United States willing to talk to him.

Red Skull began to frequently urge the base to conduct simulated missile launch exercises, but the information was quickly leaked and eventually placed on the desk of the supreme leader.

Of course, it wasn't very specific, but the more vague it was, the more suspicion it would attract. The first measure of self-rescue taken by some people was why the base they had the most confidence in would become Red Skull's first choice.

An investigation into Red Skull began. He himself was placed under house arrest in his own home. The Gestapo went crazy and began to suppress his subordinates. Countless Hydra members were arrested on charges of spreading surrender theory. Under the cover of such actions, a secret unit touched near the base.

Red Skull hadn't been operating for so many years for nothing. His family background was still very thick. Someone kept sending him messages, and when he learned that the little mustache had really taken action against the base, he couldn't sit still anymore.

He knew that now was not a good time to press the button. He hadn't even contacted a reliable American yet. A nuclear bomb had the most deterrence when it wasn't launched. He needed to wait for the price to be sold, rather than self-destruction.

To ensure that the nuclear bomb could be safely left until he was ready to start negotiations, Red Skull only had one choice left, which was to transfer the nuclear bomb.

This activity must be carried out secretly, but Red Skull didn't have many people left under his command. After thinking about it, he only found one person who might become a community of interests with him, and that was Baron Zemo.

But Baron Zemo had long been missing. This new person who took over from him was called Doctor. Red Skull knew nothing about him, but since he was Hydra, naturally there was room for negotiation.

Red Skull found the right time and had a secret talk with Shiler. What he didn't know was that during the time he was under house arrest, Nick's team had basically recovered their bodies, and Captain America was also ready to go.

Finally, one night, the secret team sent from the base was responsible for transferring the nuclear warhead. Red Skull sent a mutant who was good at moving, so he didn't need any large equipment to move the nuclear warhead to the target location. But he didn't know that the nuclear warhead had long been replaced.

The mutant he found wasn't even Alpha-level. He needed a long time of energy storage to move heavy objects. His energy storage time period was just enough to move the original nuclear warhead, and now this one was more than 200 times larger, so he couldn't move it no matter what.

Therefore, Nick's team intercepted the team with almost no effort. Captain America used his superb fighting skills to kill almost all the escort personnel, including many technicians.

Red Skull watched this nuclear warhead very closely. Except for his confidants, no one could touch it. The only few technicians who had touched the original nuclear warhead hadn't had time to report the peculiar change of the nuclear warhead to Red Skull before they were killed. Red Skull was even more unable to know.

And Nick's side thought that the nuclear warhead that Hydra brought out might be this behemoth in front of them, just a bit puzzled why Hydra claimed to be a snake, but the center of this nuclear warhead was printed with a huge bat.

But no matter what, this was still a very successful operation. Nick immediately reported this good news to the US headquarters. Naturally, the headquarters required them to transport this nuclear warhead back to their own country, and most importantly, absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Soviets.

So now it definitely couldn't be transported back, because there were Soviet troops everywhere outside Berlin. But staying in place was even more nightmarish. Congress required Nick to think of a way even if there was no way, and create conditions even if there were no conditions. Within ten days, they wanted to see this nuclear warhead appear on American soil.

But Nick had no strength left.

They were just a small team sent to investigate the situation and spy on Hydra's actions, not any regular army. Even if it were a regular army, there was no way to transport such a big thing in this situation, and also completely avoid the eyes and ears of the KGB.

In fact, being able to hide it still relied on Red Skull's meticulousness. At least the second place Red Skull found to hide the nuclear bomb was still hidden, otherwise Nick wouldn't be able to hide it for even two days, and would have suffered a surprise attack by the Soviet army.

With only ten days, Nick was almost worried to death. In the end, he had to seek help from a person he wanted to seek help from the least, and that was the Doctor.

"You must think of a way," Nick said, "You know what the consequences will be if this thing falls into the hands of the Soviet guys."

"There won't be any consequences," Shiler said, "They have many more nuclear bombs larger than this."

"But this is a secret nuclear bomb, do you understand?" Nick raised his voice and said, "Meaning the kind that is not registered and can't find the murderer no matter whose head it falls on!"

"Could it be that there won't be serious consequences if it is obtained by the United States?"

Nick was speechless, but he still argued, "Since you are the general person in charge of New York State, then putting this thing in your jurisdiction is naturally better than putting it so far away. I believe your business construction there is much stronger than here."

"Thanks for the compliment, but this matter is afraid we have to cooperate."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that Congress has the intention to organize a super-powered management agency. What role do you think you will play in it?"

Nick's face became heavy. He said, "Very good, Doctor, nothing can be hidden from you. To tell you the truth, my teacher Alexander Pierce has ideas about this."

"Just your teacher?"

Nick was silent, and Shiler said, "Do you know that their set doesn't work, and you must follow them into a dead end?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know how much benefit our cooperation will bring. There is no room for you to play in peacetime. Without incidents, there is no merit..."

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Then let's not go around in circles. When choosing people, you open a gap and let my people in. We can create endless trouble for this organization in the future, and naturally there will be a stage for you to perform."

"I'm afraid I can't agree."

"But it's definitely not because of justice," Shiler smiled and said, "The first thing that appeared in your mind was not any benevolence and morality. You were subconsciously thinking about how to deceive everyone."

Nick was shocked. He said, "Do you have mind reading?"

"Far more than that," Shiler said, "I can tell you a method that is guaranteed to be more efficient than all the answers you thought of."

"What is that?"

"Either none, or all," Shiler's words were shocking. He said, "As long as they are all enemies, there is no enemy. I have said everything, you think about it carefully yourself."

Nick hung up the phone. How could he not think it through? When this sentence came out, he understood what Shiler meant. As long as this organization is all Hydra in the future, then no one can report it.

But is this too crazy? The still young Nick would make such thoughts, but he couldn't help thinking that this was completely feasible, because the work that normal agents can do for wages, Hydra can also do for lurking and gaining trust.

In fact, they will do better, because no one will be better at dealing with Hydra than Hydra.

It's just that Nick still doesn't understand what Shiler's final goal is. He must have such a goal, but it is currently hidden in the thick fog. Whether it is Nick, Eric, or Red Skull, they can't see it clearly at all.

Nick finally agreed to Shiler's request.

Nine days later, this nuclear warhead boarded a transport plane heading to the United States and arrived safely on the night of the tenth day.

Without the interference of these special figures, history returned to its original course. A few months later, Germany announced unconditional surrender. From then on, there was no war in Berlin.

And a few months passed, the Northern Hemisphere entered summer, Nick had long returned, but at this moment he was facing another trouble.

When the Hitler government perished, Red Skull made a desperate resistance. Captain America and him fell into the deep sea together. Congress urgently needed another leader to stand up, because they were about to do a big thing.

Nick got the news, so he had to contact that person he didn't want to contact again. He picked up the phone and said to the other side "... their Emperor refused to accept the 'Potsdam Proclamation', and the so-called one hundred million jade destruction plan became more fanatical."

"The casualties of the Allied soldiers have far exceeded the acceptable scope, and the other party's resistance seems to have just begun. They cannot accept more losses. At the latest in three days, they will definitely sign the bombing approval document."

"What do you plan to do?"

"The bombing plan is imperative, and I will suggest them to use that nuclear warhead I brought back," Nick said, "I am very sorry, but I cannot let you control it."

The other party seemed to laugh lightly, but Nick said, "I have no intention of destroying our cooperation, it's just that this helps balance. You know that it is unfair for such a big killer to be in anyone's hands, especially in the hands of a group of terrorists who don't care about the country and the people at all. We dare not use it, you are different, so it is best to consume it as soon as possible, which is good for everyone."

"If this is your decision, I have no opinion."

Nick took a deep breath and hung up the phone. He knew that participating in such things meant he needed to bear countless lives, but as this damn Hydra said, benevolence and morality were never thoughts that would float into his mind at the first time.

And what Nick didn't expect was that what he had to bear was far more than he imagined.

One day, the interior of an intercontinental ballistic missile launch base in a certain state in the western United States received a launch order as usual. The operator completed all safety confirmation processes and pressed the launch button.

Thousands of intercontinental missiles roared out of the cabin, one of which was exceptionally large and had a bat logo printed on it.

Half an hour later, the target country announced that the interception failed and requested the public to immediately withdraw into air-raid shelters for emergency evacuation.

One hour later, the largest human extinction event in history was recorded in history—

The target island sank.
