Richard swore he didn't really mean to get involved in the Hydra mess at first.

Anyway, he doesn't want to rule the world, and he doesn't need more people and more resources, so why bother with that effort to grab something he doesn't need at all?

But now he realizes he's wrong. It's not about whether he wants it or not, it's a reality that he has to face. Whether he chooses to participate or not, there is no way that the other Hydra leaders will allow him to stay out of the way.

Whitehall was right, and the fall of Baron Straker caused not only a question of competition for his remaining territory and resources, but also a redistribution of interests. Years of equilibrium have been upset, and may even lead to Hydra taking the opportunity to become one again.

No one is immune. Just like Whitehall came to the door today, it was obvious that it might be Viper, or Baron Zemmer, and even if Richard didn't do anything, someone would always come to him for trouble. Either force him to take sides, or annex his forces.

In any case, it will definitely not be quiet for a while.

But that's fine. Anyway, after Ganata left, Richard has been restless lately, and he has the urge to find something to divert his attention and find someone to fix it, so he just takes this opportunity to "relax".

Instead of waiting for people to come to the door and deal with them one by one, it is better to take the initiative here and solve all the troubles in one go.

Therefore, after seeing off Whitehall's ex-dogleg Sunil Bakshi, Richard turned around and contacted Gideon Malik again, asking him to release the news for himself to summon all the Hydra leaders.

He wants to solve all problems in the simplest and most straightforward way.

When the old man Malik received the instructions, he was so happy that he looked like he was going to the mourning hall at any moment to tell them the good news about the ancestors of the Malik family. In his opinion, this was a precursor that their Hydra God was finally ready to make a move, and they were finally ready to take the first step towards world domination!

Malik was very concerned about this matter, and quickly arranged to contact the bigwigs of all parties.

The interior of Hydra has recently happened to be in a heating up stage, and all kinds of contradictions are rapidly intensifying, and it is about to start a war. Convening a conference is also in line with everyone's individual needs.

Although this is unlikely, if everyone can solve the problem by talking without using knives or guns, of course, all the leaders will be happy to see it. And even if it is necessary to fight, it is necessary for the leaders to gather and clarify their respective interests.

In the final analysis, everyone fights for territory and resources, and the procedure still has to be taken.

Three days later, the meeting took place as scheduled.

Richard still maintained his "Hydra God" vest and brought Gideon Malik, John Garrett, and Grant Ward with him.

The meeting place is a historic Hydra base, which is not currently owned by any of the forces. It is said that this is a top-secret stronghold left behind by the Red Skull during World War II, and it has escaped the eyes and ears of Aegis in countless carpet inspections in history, and it was the top base at that time.

Of course, now the base is empty. The Red Skull's forces were either exterminated or defected to other leaders, and even his old man himself was sent to Vomier as a watchdog for the soul gems.

The geographical location of this place is also in the center of the major forces, and it can barely be regarded as a neutral zone within the Hydra power network. Hydra's big meetings are often held here.

Richard led the henchmen to land on the tarmac in a plane. They arrived late, and most of the leaders had already arrived first.

Richard stepped off the plane and quickly scanned the entire base with super vision.

In the southeast corner was an ambush of a group of soldiers in old-fashioned military uniforms, who appeared to be Baron Zemo's men. A team of ninjas is ambushed on the roof of a building, presumably a subordinate of Lady Viper. The conference room was surrounded by agents from invisible corners, and the pipes were filled with the elite Hydra with loaded guns......

Richard smiled silently.

It looks like everyone is really ready for this meeting.

Obviously, no one was going to really have a mouth for the meeting. The Hydra leaders all understand the significance of this meeting and know that it is about the future direction of the entire organization.

Even if some of the leaders may not be interested in the position of leader, they will have to bring their own armed forces to prevent others from attacking.

Looking at the audience, the only one who didn't set any traps to go to the meeting alone was probably only Richard's side.

Because there's no need for that.

To tell the truth, now that Baron Straker is finished, the strongest remaining one is their Snake Shield Bureau.

They are parasitic in S.H.I.E.L.D., which already has the most abundant resources, and they also have official identities as a cover. After Stark came to power, he made a series of reforms, throwing a lot of money into Aegis and making a lot of money, a large part of which was cheapened by their Snake Shield Division.

After the remnants of Whitehall's side defected, they were much more fully armed. In addition, even Baron Straker's side has taken refuge in many people.

This was something Richard hadn't expected. Some people saw that the baron was gone, and decided to run away in advance to find a new thigh to hug so as not to be affected in the next turmoil. Others simply can't find an organization.

After all, many people in Hydra are one-way contacts, and after Baron Straker's previous battle, he suffered countless casualties. After a bunch of Hydra's superiors were killed, they were in a state of being unable to find an organization, and finally had to run to Richard's side to seek refuge.

As mentioned before, Hydra's ideal is to conquer the world, but not many people actually think so. The bosses want to unify Hydra and sit on the throne, but no one really expects to conquer the world.

Among those who came to the meeting were US senators and senior generals, as well as the presidents of world-renowned multinational corporations.

Most of these people don't really want to start a war to change the world pattern, and they only shout two slogans at a meeting for the ideal of "conquering the world." For them, Hydra is just a super platform with huge resources and a wide range of connections. Hydra can provide them with unimaginable political resources, help them easily climb to heights that ordinary people can't climb, and that's it.

People like this don't really have much interest in sitting on the throne themselves, and they prefer to mingle in a proud position next to the new boss.

Richard arranged for his subordinates to contact these high-level leaders, and by the way, he showed the strength of his side, and convinced them that the other leaders did not have the capital to compete with them on the same stage. It didn't take much effort for him to get more than half of the votes in Hydra.

Now, if Hydra also intends to engage in democracy and elect absolute leaders through voting, then he, the "god of hydra", is basically stable.
