Chapter 1718: Three pillars of strategic development
After rushing to the tower of the sky, which had not yet been capped, Steve quickly found the person he was looking for.
Of course, the person he wanted to find was not Smith Zhou. Although finding Smith Zhou was the highest priority target he thought, he himself knew that it was unlikely to find him who was in such a regular period of time.
Smith Zhou will only appear when he thinks it should appear and where it should appear. It is meaningless to look for him unilaterally, because you can't find him so smoothly. However, it doesn't matter if you can't find him. It is also acceptable for Steve to find the person in front of you.
Alexia, the once resurrected woman, is fully qualified to make some decisions in place of Smith Zhou.
It’s not that she has great power and is fully capable of overtaking the matter and making decisions on behalf of Smith Zhou, the chief officer. Instead, based on her understanding of Smith Zhou and her important position in Smith Zhou’s heart, the decisions she makes must have the weight of Smith Zhou’s thoughts.
It would never be a good thing to have such a person in an organization who can control the highest decision-makers. If this were placed in ancient times, Daji and Baosi would be a group of loyal ministers and righteous men who would be called to clear the king's side. But this is not the case in Hydra.
Let’s not talk about whether the senior executives of Hydra are loyal and courageous to worry about the country and the people. Even if they all have the loyalty of Steve, they will never have any complaints about Smith Zhou on the issue of Alexia.
This aspect is that Smith and Zhou's existence is still a mystery to the vast majority of pseudo-high-level officials. Many people have always thought that there are only three leaders of Hydra, namely Steve, Victor and Alexia. Only a few of them realize that there is a real master above these three people.
On the other hand, Alexia has always proved the value of her existence to everyone who is qualified to question her.
It may be a bit exaggerating to say that Alexia is the smartest woman in the world, but to say that she is one of the top smart women in the world is definitely not an exaggeration.
Alexia's internal biochemical technology is almost supported by Alexia himself. Alexia has made great contributions to the stability and renewal of Hydra's biochemical combat power for such a long time. Steve strongly agrees with this. After all, half of his Indian strategy is supported by Alexia's biochemical technology. So in personal opinion, his recognition of Alexia is much more than that of Victor, a guy with ulterior motives.
Alexia is not a fool, of course she understands the embarrassment of her identity. So after realizing Steve's recognition of her, she also established a certain personal relationship with Steve at the right time.
For her personally, she was unwilling to just be a useless vase and stand beside Smith Zhou to act as a foil.
What is the end of a sex entertainer? A woman as smart as her naturally cannot not know. So compared to the charm of color, she values the help she can help Smith Zhou in his career. And a career as a big one does not mean that you can play a key role just by burying your head to do research.
The balance and control of power struggle are the problems she must face. On such a problem, she and Steve share the same view.
They didn't really like Victor, who had the same status, or they were a little sneering at Victor's loyalty from the bottom of their hearts. This common view gave them the basis for cooperation and allowed them to form a certain alliance within Hydra in essence. Under the premise of this relationship, the relationship between the two people naturally cannot be said to be apart.
It is said that he talks about everything, but his close friends may have gone through it. Alexia would not allow such an ambiguous person to appear around him. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a partner with a friendly value above a certain threshold.
With such a relationship, it is natural to save a lot of unnecessary politeness. So after Steve saw Alexia busy among a bunch of strange equipment, he immediately expressed his intention to her.
"Alexia, I need your help!"
Not everyone is qualified to come in. As a person with this authority, Steve's appearance did not surprise Alexia. The only thing she was surprised was that Steve actually asked for help from her. This was not in line with his usual style.
So at this moment, she stopped her work. While operating the machine and sending the test items she debugged into the freezer, she raised her eyebrows and asked Steve questions.
"Will you come and ask for my help? This is a bit strange. Tell me, how do you want me to help you, if I can do it."
Even with the request of her partner, Alexia would never be too full of words. She didn't want to get herself into any difficult trouble, so she had reservations about this issue.
This was her usual style, and Steve had already been used to it. So after shrugging his shoulders, he said to Alexia indifferently.
"A little problem. I need to ask the boss to give me a guide to Victor. You know, I can't get away, and if someone else goes, I'll worry that the cunning guy will perfunctorily treat me. So after thinking about it, I still think it's better to let someone he absolutely dare not ignore speak for me."
"Smith doesn't have time, he has his own business to be busy with."
With an eyebrow raised, Alexia gave Steve a disappointing answer. However, Steve had been mentally prepared for such an answer. All he wanted was a person of sufficient weight to endorse him, and from this perspective, he obviously had other choices.
"It doesn't matter. If you speak out on your behalf, the result will be the same. All I need is a little warning to warn that guy not to act recklessly. As long as you can achieve such an effect, it doesn't matter who speaks for me."
"Okay, I get it."
This level of things are completely within an acceptable range for Alexia to play. After all, they are all ally, and mutual benefit is the most basic principle. So even if such things delay her for a little time and may even make Victor feel dissatisfied with her, she still gave Steve a positive promise.
"I'm happy to help with such a small matter. I just don't know where you are and need me to give Victor a warning?"
"Do you know what Victor is doing in Europe?"
Faced with Alexia's question, Steve first gave a rhetorical question. When he heard him say this, Alexia's slender eyebrows immediately frowned.
"How did you know he was in Europe?"
As the closest person around Smith, Alexia knew much more secrets than Steve. She almost knew all the movements inside Hydra, whether from Victor or Steve. She also knew very well that people in these two aspects had never had any intersection.
Adhering to Hydra's previous style of fighting against each other, in order to prevent these powerful officials from scrambling in private, Smith Zhou never arranged them in a unified and cooperative camp. According to common sense, they should not have any more knowledge of each other's work, but now, Steve's request is obviously a little beyond this limit. This makes his intentions intriguing.
Does he really want to ask for his help, or do he want to take the opportunity to connect with forces to demand more say? Alexia had to consider such a question for Smith Zhou. Seeing Alexia's inadvertent expression when she was thinking about this, Steve sighed in his heart.
As an extremely pure idealist, he is the least willing to get involved in such bullshit things. Power? For him, this kind of thing is simply a passing cloud and has no value worth nostalgic for him. However, although he thinks this way, it does not mean that others will use this way to see him. There are always some people who use their own ideas to speculate on their intentions, and such practices often lead things to deflect in an extremely bad direction.
Steve, who had experienced such a thing, certainly didn't want to make any trouble in such a place, so at the moment, he interrupted Alexia's delusion and gave her such an answer in an extremely affirmative tone.
"Don't think too much, these are all my guesses. I am not a deaf, nor a blind, nor a fool. Victor's actions in Europe are so obvious, and I am not a person who has no idea about him. How could he not know that this is his actions in secret? Although I don't understand why he, who was farming in hell, appeared in Europe, but this does not prevent me from providing some convenience for his actions through the power he now has!"
"What you said makes sense, I shouldn't be fussing about this issue!"
It seems that he has accepted Steve's statement, but only Alexia himself knows what it is.
"Say it, what news do you want me to convey? I know some special channels to contact him, which is very safe and convenient."
"Another magical means? To be fair, I don't like this means, it makes me feel unsafe."
"There is no logical and extremely rigorous science and technology that is easy to use. But no matter what, this is a solution to the problem. Should you tell him yourself, or should I help you?"
"You help me. If it were you, it might be better than what I told him myself."
In order to avoid extravagance and unnecessary suspicion, Steve gave the matter to Alexia. This seemed to be an ideal situation for her, so she did not refuse, but replied very directly.
"Of course, this is the best. Let's talk about what you want to ask for. If it's the kind of easy to speak, I can help you contact him now."
"A small request that allows him to make some efforts in European politics is best to allow politicians from EU countries to provide some commitments to small countries in Southeast Asia, and tell them that Europe can also serve as their trust!"
"You want to sow discord and let those small countries turmoil? It's a good idea to get the best of your own benefit without any effort. But are you sure that this result will be what you want? Or will the final situation be as you expected?"
"I have to try it, right?"
"You're right, wait a moment, and I'll be able to give you an answer soon."
After ending this brief conversation, Alexia just made a short action and walked quickly to the other rooms. Steve didn't know whether it was because of some kind of communication magic set in other rooms, or whether Alexia deliberately avoided himself. He didn't intend to make any assumptions in this regard. He was just waiting, and soon, just as he stroking and judging Alexia's experimental results in a scrutiny, Alexia rushed back vigorously. "The problem has been solved. Do I need me to describe his detailed reply to you?"
"Forget this, I'm almost certain that he'll say anything meaningless and provocative."
Shaking his head, Steve directly rejected such useless matters that were unreliable. He didn't want to ruin his pretty good mood because of this kind of thing. So at the moment, he directly changed the topic and shifted the direction of discussion to Alexia's work.
"Let's talk about your experiment progress. How have you adjusted the fourth generation soldier project?"
"It's not finished yet, but I've found some feeling. I expect that if everything goes well, you'll be able to see the first finished product soon."
Pointing to the test items in her freezing compartment, Alexia gave a satisfying answer. Of course, this satisfaction unilaterally refers to a person like Steve. And if we look at it by her own standards, the fourth-generation soldier project they proposed was not necessary at all.
Since the era of Umbrella, the biochemical soldiers' projects have already emerged. Umbrella's biochemical products Crawler and Tyrant are barely considered the first generation of biochemical soldiers. Of course, due to various defective reasons, this first generation of product was injected into the cold palace by Hydra, which was taken over from the beginning.
Hydra's size is much higher than that of Umbrella, and they don't hold a bowl of cold rice. So after getting Umbrella's technology, they quickly launched their second-generation product, which is the kind of monster released in the Washington raid.
It is stronger and more terrifying. However, the problem brought about is that it is difficult to achieve popularization. World wars are not solved by thousands or tens of thousands of such monsters. In addition, biochemical technology itself is a monster that is difficult to control, so even a powerful organization like Hydra has to give up this direction and instead develop biochemical soldiers in a direction that can be more popular.
The transformed soldiers who appeared in the Indian incident were the products of the third generation. Perhaps their performance was not as strong as the second generation in terms of individual combat power. However, as biochemical soldiers who can maintain human form under normal conditions and only reveal strange true appearances during combat, the third generation is obviously more acceptable to ordinary people.
However, this is not enough, or for people like Steve, they have higher requirements for this. Putting aside the already small failure rate, the hideous appearance in this combat form alone is a result that they cannot accept.
Their purpose is to rule and transform the entire world and build the world into an ideal country in their hearts. Even for Hydra people, the ideal country in their hearts will definitely not be a place where monsters gather.
Although it is something that many people accept, it will definitely not be what they want. If there is a choice, no one would want to become like this. Steve and the others have considered this, and because of this, the request of the fourth generation of biochemical soldiers they put forward is to be like a person.
Except for powerful power, everything else must be consistent with ordinary people. This is like the original Super Soldier Plan. If this is the standard, Alexia certainly has reason to think that this is a reverse of history.
As a person who is fully interpreted by emotional emotions to someone, and only scientists are purely rational in their careers, she does not agree with the stupid views of these people. It is of course stupid to do the work to a low level because of such a boring restriction.
However, although she thought so, she had no way to stop these people's plans. The reason was very simple, because all this was decided by Smith Zhou.
She would not violate Smith Zhou's meaning, no matter what the situation or what the thoughts were. As long as it was something Smith Zhou agreed with, she would definitely do it.
That's why she accepted the fourth generation project. It was precisely because of her takeover that the project soon reached such a stage.
Success is imminent, and this is the best news Steve has heard. Looking at the works that are about to be completed in the freezer compartment, he has only one idea left in his mind.
Chapter completed!
