Sitwell didn't say anything, and just hung up the phone silently. Anyone who could be scolded by Director Pierce like this was a big boss. Because if he didn't have enough status, he would have been killed long ago, so why waste time scolding them.

This involves a struggle between big bosses. It is better for a little guy like him to hide. Hydra is not monolithic. In name, Alexander Pierce is the boss, but it is limited to the United States. Hydras in other regions

The leader and Pierce have a cooperative relationship, which is also mixed with competition. In short, it is very complicated.

After hanging up the phone with Sitwell, Pierce had no time to preside over any meetings. It was a retreat meeting anyway, and it wouldn't be of much use if it couldn't be held.

So he left the scene directly and returned to his manor.

Before returning, he issued a summons for a meeting, requiring all Hydra leaders to respond.

When he arrived home, he went directly to the secret meeting room. He sat in the main seat and put on holographic glasses.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a different picture. The originally empty conference table was filled with people.

"Pierce, why are you calling us at this time? You know it's still late at night here!" an old man with French emphasis asked.

This is Gideon Malik, a former member of the World Security Council. He is one of the oldest leaders within Hydra. During World War II, his family played a lot of role in the surrender of France. At the same time,

His family is also the most important driving force behind Red Skull's formation of Hydra.

"The Winter Soldier has been exposed!" Pierce said directly without paying attention to the other party's complaints.

"How is that possible?!" a woman in a green dress asked in surprise.

She is Mrs. Viper. A real old monster. She is an old German. She was helping Germany as early as World War I. However, after being defeated in World War I, she became anonymous. Before World War II, she was invited by the Red Skull to become the Nine-Headed One.

Snake lady.

Although she is already a hundred years old, she now looks like the mature woman Sanjuro used to be. That is because she signed a contract with the ancient evil god Chthon, which gave her the ability to greatly slow down aging and maintain youth almost forever.

The only sequelae is that my aesthetics have gone astray, I like the color green, everything except my skin is green, even my lipstick is green.

"Humph, now that this news has been known to intelligence agencies across the United States, do you think I will lie?" Pierce looked at a man who had been silent. The anger in his eyes was not concealed at all. "Daniel Whitehall, don't you think I would lie?"

Won’t you explain it?”

Daniel Whitehall, whose real name is Werner Reinhardt, joined Hydra before World War II. He is a standard believer in science and controls many scientific research institutions in the world. He has lived from World War II to today, using the "power of science"

Restore old age to youth.

At the same time, he is also the host of the Winter Soldier Project. In other words, the Winter Soldier has always been under his control.

Of course, the Winter Soldier is not his property, but the common property of Hydra. Many of Hydra's assassination missions were completed by the Winter Soldier. After all, it is the most successful test subject of the Super Soldier Serum at this stage. It is very rare.

But this time, no one else knew about the Winter Soldier's actions.

"Mr. Daniel Whitehall, I think you really need to explain." At this time, another man spoke. He wore a monocle and had an aristocratic accent.

He is Baron Strucker, whose real name is Wolfgang von Strucker. He was born into a Bavarian aristocratic family at the end of the 19th century. His family used its wealth and knowledge to support the Nazi Party, and eventually invested all its assets in the Nine

The head snake, Stark's body has been chemically and mechanically enhanced to become extremely strong. He has hardly aged since he was a Nazi officer under Hitler.

He is also an old man. He still looks young now.

Daniel Whitehall, who was generalized, did not panic at all, but spoke very calmly.

"Because it's worth it."

"The reason." Pierce said coldly.

"Vibranium, endless vibranium, is this reason enough?" Daniel Whitehall said calmly.

In fact, he was no less angry than Pierce. He didn't expect that the Winter Soldier would be exposed.

Originally this secret belonged to him alone!

But now...he had to share it.

Vibranium, also called sound-absorbing steel, is the most perfect metal that can be found on the earth at this stage. Vibranium is very hard, and its special molecular structure makes it almost indestructible because its molecules are relatively static, making it almost non-conductive.

And kinetic energy, this characteristic allows it to absorb heat, energy and kinetic energy.

The most famous example is Captain America's shield!

In addition, Adamantium alloy is also a product of vibranium plus an extraterrestrial substance and carbon alloy.

But the problem is that this kind of metal is very rare. So far, the whole world has only discovered a little bit, and part of it has become Captain America's shield. The other part is in the hands of the US government and is one of the top secrets, and Hydra does not

I know exactly where it is. There is still part of it in the military... This part has been lost. At least that's what the military said.

Regarding the role of vibranium, it is not just used to make shields or other cold weapons. On the contrary, for scientists, it is the most wasteful approach. This metal is the best material for many high-precision instruments.

In short, it is a very precious strategic material.

"How is that possible!" Baron Strucker was the first to express disbelief.

"Why is it impossible?" Daniel Whitehall said sarcastically. "You have never thought about where Howard Stark's vibranium comes from?"

Everyone else looked over.

Of course they thought about it, but unfortunately Howard kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone.

"Did you find out?"

"No, to be precise, someone found me."

"who?"

"Ulysses Crow."

"That arms dealer?" Baron Strucker asked in surprise.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Others looked at Baron Strucker, they had never heard of this man.

Baron Strucker took the initiative to explain: "He is one of my partners. He doesn't know my true identity. He can provide a lot of high-quality arms and rare materials. I didn't know he was actually doing business with vibranium."

"Of course he won't tell you, and he won't even tell anyone. After all...he himself didn't know that his family was actually related to vibranium. The vibranium that Howard Stark got back then was bought from his family.

Broken."

The Crow family is a very old family that has been in the arms business a long time ago. This family first came to England. During the Napoleonic Wars, this family, as a British noble, sold arms to the French for use

deal with your own country.

As a result, the Crow family was expelled from Britain. Then the family settled in France, but soon the family's habit of reselling arms returned. During the Franco-Prussian War, they went to sell French arms to Prussia. As a result, France was defeated.

.Then the Crow family was liquidated again.

After that, the Crow family was divided into two groups, one stayed in Europe, and the other went to the New World to develop.

The one that stayed in Europe was developing very well, while the one that went to the United States was in relatively poor condition.

In Grandpa Ulysses Crowe's generation, they discovered vibranium and sold it to Howard, so there was Captain America's shield.

When it came to Ulysses Klaue's father's generation, he hoped to replicate his father's feats and once again drew attention to vibranium, but this time the result was not good. Ulysses Klaue's father disappeared, and again

Never appeared either.

"You mean, he knows the origin of vibranium?"

"He doesn't know, but he knows who knows!"

"who!"

"A prince who wants revenge!"

At this moment, Pierce suddenly looked at Daniel Whitehall. "The King of Wakanda! Your target is the King of Wakanda!"

Pierce had been guessing what this had to do with the explosion in the United Nations building, until he said the word prince, and Pierce quickly thought of the King of Wakanda.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"That's right!" Daniel Whitehall somewhat admired Pierce's reaction ability.

"Wakanda? That place with only primitive tribes and rhinos actually produces vibranium?"

Wakanda is a country with a very sparse international presence and is one of the few countries on the African continent that has not been colonized.

Because colonization is useless, there is nothing there except grassland and there are lions and rhinoceros. Hunting is okay, colonization?

I can’t thank you enough!

This country is located in the interior of Africa, with little rainfall and barren land. It is full of savannas and has few minerals. Its geographical location is terrible, surrounded by deserts or mountains. The cost of colonization there is too high, so during the colonial frenzy

, only small European countries such as Portugal or Belgium, which were unable to compete for good places, tried their luck. As a result... not to mention making money from colonization, they also lost a lot.

So just like that, it has been a forgotten country since the colonial period.

In modern times, the sense of existence is not strong.

Most people probably have never heard of it.

"Haha, this is the most interesting part of this matter. The prince told me that these black people actually have technological capabilities that far exceed those of the outside world! The reason why those countries failed to colonize is entirely because of the tricks of the Wakandans.

, making the colonists think there was nothing there."

"ha?"

Everyone looked confused, wondering if Daniel Whitehall had Alzheimer's disease.

Everyone here is a standard racist, but a very extreme one. When Pierce chose Nick Fury to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was laughed at by them for a long time.

Even now, they still look down on black people.
