This operation is led by Steve, accompanied by Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye, Jessica Jones, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rapid response special forces led by Langlom.

Together they formed a siege against the Ten Rings Gang.

Iron Man Tony has just escaped from a lawsuit crisis and it is temporarily inconvenient for him to leave the United States. He also does not want to obey the orders of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he did not come.

Thor is the prince of Asgard and it is impossible for him to come to help S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Incredible Hulk...now Banner, he was staying well in Umbrella, he was crazy and wanted to seek excitement.

It had been a long time since he had lost control at Umbrella.

The current Avengers are much weaker than their counterparts in the original timeline.

The three giants lost two of them, so they did not have absolute military power. Fortunately, Jessica's performance was good, at least not inferior to Iron Man.

This means that the current Avengers still have relatively strong strength.

Steve picked up a mask from the ruins of the Ten Rings Gang base. The colorful patterns on it were a little confusing for him.

Fortunately, there are still intellectuals in the team.

Natasha took a look and said, "The pattern on it looks a bit like a mask."

"Facebook..." Steve didn't know much about the culture of the Eastern country.

"It's a product of that country." Natasha pointed eastward. "Traditional Chinese opera actors in that country would paint this pattern on their faces to visually distinguish the characteristics of their characters."

"Do you think it's possible for the Ten Rings Gang to establish its headquarters within that country?"

The Ten Rings Gang has a large number of members and a complex internal composition, covering countries and nationalities all over the world.

There are white people, some are white, some are white, some are white, some are white, some are white.

But its core members are undoubtedly from that country.

Herein lies the problem, SHIELD can enter almost any country and enforce the law without a license.

Even a big country like Russia can sneak in quietly and carry out its plans secretly.

But only this big Eastern country is a restricted area for S.H.I.E.L.D. and all foreign organizations.

All information about this country is kept at the highest level of confidentiality within S.H.I.E.L.D., and only Nick Fury can access it.

The Avengers couldn't enforce the law in that country, not even get in.

Because of this, they had no choice but to tirelessly clear out the Ten Rings Gang's branch bases one by one, with the aim of luring out the leader of the Ten Rings Gang, Xu Wenwu.

As long as he dares to come out, the Avengers will be able to eliminate him abroad, and the Ten Rings Gang will disappear without a leader.

But there were too many branch bases, and the Avengers were already exhausted before they could lure out the civil and military forces.

At this moment, Langlom suddenly contacted Steve through the headset.

"Captain, there's a situation!"

Steve held down the headset and said in a steady voice, "What happened?"

"There's a target approaching you. He's already within our range of fire. Do we need to kill him?"

"Was he armed?"

"No, he came empty-handed." Langlom said this with a strange tone, "He looks like he's here for tourism."

But no one would run to a place where there was just heavy gunfire. There must be something strange about this guy.

"Don't shoot yet, let him in."

"Yes!"

Not long after, a man walked into the Avengers' sight.

Natasha's pupils contracted the moment she saw him. She immediately looked at Steve and made a gesture to him.

"it's him!"

He is Xu Wenwu! .

Chapter 913 Hydra's Grand Ideal

"alert!"

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye drew his bow and arrow, aiming at Xu Wenwu.

Natasha took out her small pistol. Although she knew that this weapon was completely useless against the enemy, it could at least hold the enemy back for a while.

Jessica still looked relaxed, but secretly, she was ready to strike at any time.

In places that were not visible, Langlom's team also aimed their scopes at any enemies that suddenly broke in, ready to shoot at any time.

With their support, Steve was able to move forward calmly.

"You must be the leader of the Ten Rings Gang."

"Yes."

Unlike what Steve imagined, the leader of the Ten Rings Gang was not a hideous person like the Red Skull. On the contrary, he looked very righteous.

Steve could even see a kind of vicissitudes of life in the other's eyes, as if the person standing in front of him was not a hero in his prime, but an old man who knew his fate.

At this moment, the "old man" looked at him with eyes full of appreciation.

"Steve Rogers, Captain America, I thought those people's praises of you were exaggerated."

"In another era, your character would be enough to make you a famous hero whose fame will be passed down through the ages."

Steve didn't quite understand what the other party said, but the other party didn't seem to be hostile?

"My name is Xu Wenwu. I know it's a little hard to pronounce for you, but no matter what, don't call me Lord Man. It's an insult."

"Well, Mr. Wenwu," Steve quietly raised his shield, "are you willing to be arrested?"

"If you don't want to do anything, we can make things simpler."

However, Xu Wenwu ignored Steve's words and said, "Steve, I admire you very much. If you want, you can become the deputy leader of the Ten Rings Gang, second only to me."

Everyone present almost thought they had misheard. The other party actually wanted to recruit Captain America? That was Captain America!

Steve frowned: "Sorry, I will not join a terrorist organization, let alone work for terrorists!"

Hearing this, Xu Wenwu laughed: "If you really think so, then why did you join S.H.I.E.L.D."

Um? What's the meaning?

Hawkeye, who was hiding in the dark, was stunned for a moment.

Among all the people present, he was the only one who was completely unaware of the shadows within S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is a pure thug.

Steve's eyes flashed when he heard this: "You seem to know something."

Xu Wenwu opened his arms and everyone reacted immediately, but he did not launch an attack, he just raised his hands.

"I look very young, but I've actually lived much longer than you can imagine!"

"I witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, and also your battle with the Red Skull, the leader of Hydra."

At this point, Xu Wenwu revealed a playful smile: "Do you think you really destroyed the Hydra?"

Hawkeye subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and his heartbeat began to accelerate, as if the secret that the other party was about to tell would subvert the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.!

But he didn't know whether he should stop it because Captain America didn't give the order.

When Xu Wenwu said this, he thought Steve would be shocked, or at least his emotions would fluctuate.

But he didn't notice that Steve was surprisingly calm, as if encouraging him to continue.

"Captain, is there a problem?" Langlom's voice sounded in Steve's ears.

He was quite far away from the other members of the Quick Reaction Special Forces and could not hear what Wenwu was saying.

Steve said calmly: "It's okay, we are negotiating."

After saying that, he quietly disconnected the headset signal.

He didn't intend to reveal what Xu Wenwu said to others until he knew who the enemy and who the teammates were within S.H.I.E.L.D.

The strange thing is that except for Hawkeye who was a little hesitant, all other members, without exception, chose to remain silent at this time.

"I see." Xu Wenwu quickly figured out the key point: "So you're also suspicious, right?"

Besides being surprised, he looked at Steve with even more admiration: "You are also wondering if there is something wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D."

Steve didn't answer, but seemed to answer.

"Please continue."

The civil and military affairs were as he wished.

"After World War II, the United States passed a program called the Paperclip Program, which aimed to recruit scientists of strategic value."

Hawkeye shuddered, as if he had thought of something.

"You know very well that at that time, the most advanced technology in Germany was basically in the hands of Hydra, so naturally, Hydra's scientists were absorbed into S.H.I.E.L.D. in large numbers, including your old rival..."

"Zora..." Steve said the name in a low voice.

When talking about Hydra scientists, this name cannot be avoided.

The weapons he created almost helped Red Skull take over the world.

"SHIELD naively believed that the people of Hydra had completely abandoned the past with the death of Red Skull."

Xu Wenwu's face was filled with sarcasm. "They believe that Hydra's people can be bribed with benefits, so they provide Hydra's scientists with more favorable material conditions."

"Of course, in addition to the benefits, they must have also used some necessary defensive measures, such as wiretapping, surveillance, and restrictions on movement."

"With money and bullets, they thought they controlled these hydras with profit and violence."

"But they ignored the power of faith. A country founded by merchants and slave owners certainly didn't believe in this. They only believed that money could buy everything."

"But Hydra never wants money, Steve Rogers. You've dealt with the Red Skull before, so you should know that man's ambition is by no means superficial."

"They want the whole world!"

Although Hydra is regarded as a scourge by most countries in the world, the original intention of this organization was extremely noble.

It aims to establish an absolutely authoritarian society and attempts to rule the world with absolute order.

What it wants to establish is a highly centralized political system to regulate people's words and deeds.

In a free world, due to human selfish nature, there are a series of problems such as uneven distribution of resources, unfair distribution, and class stratification.

These problems will eventually accumulate until the exploited can no longer bear it and war will break out.

This seems like a cycle. Human history has always been in this cycle and cannot escape this quagmire.

Hydra wants to change all this by using a regime formed by absolute authority, and then have this regime uniformly manage social resources and distribute resources, so that absolute order can achieve absolute fairness!

Allocating resources to where they are truly needed is planned economics, yes, but Hydra wants a higher form.

Replace selfishness with public spirit, put collective interests above individual interests, and thus achieve equality for all!

Of course, as long as one is human, he or she will inevitably have selfish desires.

Therefore, this supreme authority must be in the hands of a selfless person who can treat everyone fairly and always put the highest interests of the collective first.

Why is the Red Skull crazy?

Because he thinks he is that person!

No, he did not consider himself a human being, he considered himself to be of a higher status, God!

So he wants to plunder the world, just because he believes that only he can save all mankind.

Only he can realize Utopia!

Chapter 914 Avengers vs. Xu Wenwu

Because of this "ambition", Red Skull has always believed that he and other mediocre people are not on the same level in all aspects.

He believed that he was fighting for the greatest cause of all mankind, so when Captain America, who was also a "superman", appeared and became his enemy, he was angry at him for not fighting back.
