Chapter 649: It's better not to do this
After listening to Gideon Malik's account, Richard realized that there were so many moths in the Hydra this time.
Hydra hasn't really been unified since the end of World War II, and it may seem like a large organization with a clear purpose, but that's not the case at all. The major leaders do not communicate with each other, and everyone has always been in charge of their own affairs, as long as they do not poke out any big basket that endangers everyone's common interests, no one will generally take care of other people's affairs.
It's a delicate balance. Each person has a balance on each other, because everyone knows that they have enough power and hole cards in their hands as a deterrent. To put it bluntly, it is actually a deterrent of strength, because each party has the strength to subdue others, so it can maintain peace and quiet.
Not so long ago, Baron Straker was the leader of several bosses. As a well-established old German guy who survived from World War II, this merchant has the most people and the most guns, and secretly hides a large number of superpowers, which is a big man that no other leader can definitely provoke.
But it was also because of his strength that Baron Straker always had a natural sense of superiority over the other leaders, as if he were superior to everyone else and everyone else had to obey his orders.
Due to his strength and qualifications, the other Hydra leaders don't want to break with him in trivial matters, so they all endure it when they can tolerate it.
Although it is said that it is endured, it does not mean that the other leaders will not hold grudges. All the advantages that Baron Straker has taken over the years, and all the advantages that he has to go, everyone can remember them. Now that this cargo has suffered a lot of vitality and its strength is no longer there, how can the other leaders give up?
Soon doubts followed. Baron Zemo accused Straker of being so ugly that he had lost not only their Hydra face, but also the glory of the Axis powers; Lady Viper questioned that his remaining men and equipment were no longer enough to manage his existing territory. Dr. Whitehall hasn't spoken yet, but he must be secretly plotting something, and it certainly won't be a good thing for Baron Straker anyway.
As the saying goes, "the tree falls and the wall falls and everyone pushes it", and now Baron Straker is obviously the wall that is about to collapse. The decline of the baron has led to the imminent upset of the balance that Hydra has maintained for many years, and the redistribution of power and interests is bound to cause another struggle.
Old Mr. Gideon Malik called his leader in such a hurry to report the matter. The old man was quite excited, and when he spoke of the rise, his face was ruddy, and he looked ready to take the world into his pocket.
Richard knew that the old guy had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Although the fake god of hydra has no interest in conquering the world or anything, Malik has really worked hard all his life to achieve this goal.
The old guy may also vaguely understand in his heart that "conquering the world" sounds a bit too unrealistic, and it may be very difficult to achieve, so he pinned his hopes on the omnipotent "God of Hydra" mentioned by his ancestors, hoping that this god can lead them to achieve this goal after his successful return.
Will Richard be able to help him achieve his long-cherished wish? Of course.
Not to mention conquering the Earth, it was only a matter of time before he conquered the galaxy if he wanted to.
But will he do it?
Unfortunately for Mr. Malik, no.
It can be conquered, but it is not necessary.
Richard felt like he was struggling to hold on. With his current strength, he can walk sideways in the galaxy casually, he can have whatever he wants, and his life is free and easy, why should he run to rule the world and manage a bunch of messy things that don't belong to him? Isn't that an idle egg hurting?
Therefore, in the face of the emotional old Mr. Malik, he only said that the current situation still needs to be patiently observed, and we have to wait.
Poor old man Malik is already old, and if he continues like this, it is unlikely that he will see Hydra unite and conquer the world in his lifetime......
Richard's idea was simple. These leaders love to grab land and resources, and he doesn't want anything anyway, just don't drag him in.
However, it backfired.
Let's just put it that way...... There are some people in the world who like to jump in the minefield, and even get complacent about it, and they don't even know what trouble they have caused.
Meeting Malik, Richard realized that there was already someone in the house as soon as he got home...... And the kind of uninvited guests.
But he wasn't nervous or flustered—honestly, he didn't think there was anyone else on this planet worthy of him.
As usual, Richard took out the key and opened the door, changed his shoes, took off his coat, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink, and then arrived at his room unhurriedly.
Pushing open the bedroom door, he didn't show the slightest flusteration when he saw Dr. Daniel Whitehall arrogantly sitting cross-legged in his chair, followed by a room of black-clad agents.
Of course, the accident was still a bit unexpected, after all, his identity as the god of hydra was completely secret, and he had not been noticed by anyone all these years.
Now that this posture looks, the old guy Whitehall seems to have found out?
Sure enough, Whitehall sat up straight as he entered, and said with a smile, "Are you busy with official business, Mr. Lee?" Or ...... 'God of Hydra'? ”
So he really knew.
But it doesn't really matter now. Richard shrugged his shoulders and graciously admitted, "Oh, so you noticed. ”
"You're well disguised, and you have kept everyone in the dark all along." Whitehall is still a little complacent, "but no matter how well you hide it, it always leaves a subtle trace." And I'm the one who is good at catching clues. ”
"So congratulations, you've found out."
Richard said, glancing left and right.
There didn't seem to be anyone else in the manor. Gwen is at the Avengers, Jessica is at the newspaper, and the siblings Quicksilver and Wanda seem to be out shopping. Even Ganata, who used to stay at home forever and never leave the house, left Earth not long ago.
Whoever had any tenant in his house was at home, and Whitehall probably wouldn't have a chance to sit on this chair and pretend to be this.
Richard shook his head: "Lucky guy. ”
Whitehall: "Excuse me, what did you just say?" ”
"Nothing."
Richard walked inside indifferently. The agents in the room raised their guns at him alertly, but he ignored them all, and only walked to the Xiaoice cabinet in the room and took out a can of beer.
"I think you should understand the current situation, so I'll get straight to the point." "Now we all know that you never show your true face, even in front of your closest men, because you know that once your identity is revealed, you are only a mortal when you lose your mystery. Maybe you have some special abilities, but after all, you are a person. We have many ways to attack you...... Or someone you care about. ”
"Oh, really?" Richard took a sip of his beer and made a "please" gesture, "If you decide to do that, be light, Dr. Whitehall." Just a little personal advice...... You'd better not do that. ”
