Chapter 155 - 151 There Is A Traitor Among Us
"Where have you been?"
Sebastian frowned; his tone was a little gloomy. ??
"War is just around the corner, so it's better to stay put. If Superman discovers Atlantis' location, who knows if he would come for a surprise attack."
"I went out for a spin. It's so depressing here. Wearing this thing all day long, I can't even breathe easily."
The White Queen knocked the breathing helmet on her head and replied as if nothing had happened.
At an early age, she learned how to lie.
"Pay attention next time. The closer we are to success, the more we should be cautious."
Sebastian's attitude eased, and he continued, "By the way, I heard that you have a sister who's also a mutant."
"The Hellfire Club welcomes any compatriot. You can invite her in. Later, the land world wouldn't be very safe and would soon fall into a series of battles."
"I… I will."
The White Queen's eyes flashed for a moment. She felt that Sebastian was aware of something.
However, she didn't tell anyone about the meeting today.
"Emma, we are all your family."
Sebastian's voice was gentle and friendly.
"We may not be related by blood, but we have a deeper bond, the same identity, the same genes. This is what is engraved in our bodies and can't be erased."
The White Queen seemed to be moved. Her beautiful eyes gleamed as if she was tearing up.
"I've always been very grateful to you, Shaw. It was you who brought me out of my ordinary life and allowed me to enjoy a better scenery."
Sebastian was quite satisfied with this answer. The White Queen was a mutant he valued very much.
Without the other party, he would lose the means to control Namor.
Ten minutes later, the two ended the conversation.
The White Queen left the bedchamber with a stern look in her eyes.
Reading words and speculating on thoughts is instinctive for those with psychic abilities.
She could see that Sebastian Shaw was playing the emotional card.
As to why he would do this, he probably wanted to stabilize her.
'Even if he knows that I have a sister in S.H.I.E.L.D, he might not be able to prove anything. Does my loyalty to the Hellfire Club need to be questioned?'
The White Queen was deeply puzzled; she knew Sebastian Shaw very well, another party was the same kind of person as her father.
Selfish, good at calculation, and never give up valuable chess pieces easily.
Just like before, he would rather sacrifice Riptide to save Namor.
It's not that Sebastian Shaw had any hidden deep attachment to Namor.
It is only because the party is still useful and couldn't be discarded for the time being.
It's a simple multiple-choice question, and everything is based on interests.
'I hope Shaw doesn't let me down. '
The White Queen thought so.
"Women … they can't be trusted!"
Sebastian Shaw paced alone in the bedroom with a sneer on his mouth.
"If I hadn't cooperated with Hydra, how would I have known that there was a traitor in the Hellfire Club!"
S.H.I.E.L.D was very efficient. The Soviet spies quickly leaked the photo of the White Queen meeting her sister Silver Fox and the confidential documents.
Then, from the spy's hand, it was passed to the agent in Leviathan and Red Room, and finally, it was found by Hydra and given to Sebastian Shaw as a gift.
As the saying goes, no one under the sun hides from Hydra!
Even within S.H.I.E.L.D, there must be some spies buried.
After all, the previous Operation Paperclip, the U.S. side absorbed many Nazi scientists, including many experts in rocket technology and senior researchers.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has also recruited many remnants of Hydra into its ranks.
There must have been a lot of spies infiltrating.
Luke knew this, but he didn't thoroughly check it out and deliberately let it go.
Anyway, they were all leeks. It would save time and effort to harvest them when they grow better.
This time, thanks to them, Sebastian Shaw was able to receive the news faster.
'I can't move her yet, so I'll wait. '
Sebastian put his hands behind his back and looked at the world map hanging on the wall.
He has incredible ambition, and Atlantis was only the first stepping stone.
'Hydra, Red Skull, the Third Reich … They all failed. '
Sebastian looked up and smiled, "but I won't…"
…
"Operation Paperclip?"
Rogers, in the Director's office, closed the thick folder in his hand.
"That is to say, the President secretly deported a group of German scientists, and S.H.I.E.L.D also absorbed part of Hydra's power. But wouldn't this let the enemy infiltrate, thus posing a threat to national security?"
Captain America showed a somewhat puzzled look.
As an intelligence agency, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s primary concern should be to ensure its confidentiality.
Taking the initiative to recruit Hydra was tantamount to creating latent opportunities for spies.
Inevitably, it increases certain risks.
At that time, what should S.H.I.E.L.D do when it becomes the new Hydra?
"The military started the plan; they took a fancy to the new technology of V1 and V2 rockets and ballistic missiles of the Third Reich and wanted to get their hands on it."
Luke shrugged and said lightly.
The scariest thing in the 20th century is talent, and the new President understands this, which is why he approved of 'Operation Paperclip.'
During World War II, the Third Reich's military industry was extremely advanced, and various high-tech products proliferated, making it a well-deserved first in terms of strength.
It's normal for the White House and the Pentagon to look at them greedily.
It is in their nature to take advantage of the situation and put profit first.
"At first, many people opposed this plan, because according to regulations, American troops belonging to the Allied side were prohibited from directly dealing with war criminals."
Luke paused and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth,
"The irony is that almost all of the German scientists and engineers and other technical personnel who are eligible for recruitment and extradition are basically closely associated with the Nazis elite, and some even meet the criteria of being war criminals."
