Chapter 12 See also the experiment
Reinhardt had never seen General Schaumburg at all, because he soon left the Ritz Hotel in Vendome Square with Baron Zemo.
The moment he walked out of the hotel gate, Reinhardt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Baron Zemo was a little surprised when he saw this scene. In the room, Reinhardt was not afraid even when facing him. However, after leaving the Ritz Hotel, he would feel much more relaxed. So Baron Zemo asked tentatively: "Lieutenant Colonel, you don't seem to like this place very much?"
"Yeah!" Reinhardt paused slightly, then took a breath, and said with a complicated expression: "From the first moment I stepped into this gate, I felt that this place was full of danger."
After saying a word, regardless of whether Baron Zemo could understand what he meant, Reinhardt took a big stroll and walked towards the black car parked not far away, and then went straight in.
When Baron Zemo heard Reinhardt's explanation, he was really stunned, because he didn't understand what Reinhardt meant for a while. Was he hinting at him?
No, he and Reinhardt met in the hotel deep. Before that, Reinhardt shouldn't have noticed anything wrong, but why did he say that he had noticed danger since he stepped into the hotel gate? Could it be that he had noticed his arrangement in advance?
Baron Zemo is a very conceited person. Don’t look at the supreme ruler of the entire Paris now, General Schaumburg, but Baron Zemo’s influence in the entire city is no less than General Schaumburg. He brought Reinhardt to Paris. He thought that Reinhardt would turn against him directly. Baron Zemo also heard about the special abilities that Reinhardt mastered, so he prepared a whole team of gunmen to turn against Reinhardt.
Since he was able to trick Reinhardt into Paris, he naturally took all the possible situations, and what he had followed was normal procedures, and General Schaumburg knew everything he had done, but for some reason, General Schaumburg finally chose to ignore it.
To be honest, although Baron Zemo had already planned everything, he actually did not want to see the most extreme side of things. Whether it was Reinhardt being shot dead during the resistance or being imprisoned for not following the orders of superiors, Baron Zemo would undoubtedly anger Lieutenant General Reinhardt. The Fourth Armored Division is only more than 200 kilometers away from here and can be killed in two hours.
The direction of the matter was in the end quite in line with Baron Zemo's expectations. Lieutenant Colonel Reinhardt did not object much to his intervention in this matter. Originally, Baron Zemo thought Reinhardt had noticed the secret hand he had arranged around him, and finally chose to surrender. Even the temporary vain and sermon were completely acceptable to him, but now it seems that the situation is not that simple at all. Baron Zemo felt that Reinhardt was exploited by him in turn.
Having said that, what does Reinhardt mean when he felt a sense of danger at the door of this hotel? Is it meant to him or what else is there?
It would be fine if it was the former, but if it was the latter, it would be troublesome.
You should know that the prominent officials from the Empire came to Paris could almost be said to be living in this hotel. If there is really something wrong with this hotel, then Baron Zemo will not be able to escape responsibility. You should know that he is the person in charge of the Hydra French branch.
He has always been the one who started Hydra's intelligence infiltration in France. Although the Empire had relevant intelligence departments specifically responsible for this matter, the capabilities of these intelligence departments were simply not comparable to Hydra.
Therefore, Hydra can be used to most of the things in this city. Although General Schaumburg is the top leader in name and de facto, except for military affairs, Baron Zemo's influence in any aspect is no less than General Schaumburg, and may even be stronger. Therefore, he is the de facto manager of the entire city.
If something really goes wrong with the Liz Hotel, General Schaumburg will certainly bear certain responsibilities, but the more subjective responsibility is on him, so some things should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Baron Zemo just waved casually, and a young man in this light black military uniform had already turned out of the darkness. Baron Zemo whispered a few words in the young officer's ear, and the young officer immediately left hurriedly, and then quickly launched an investigation into the entire hotel.
However, Baron Zemo actually didn't know that his current approach would facilitate the development of Henry and Nancy's plans.
The car slowly drove into the downtown area of Paris. Although Baron Zemo was the actual controller of Paris, he was different from General Schaumburg. General Schaumburg needed to sit in Paris as a symbol of the entire empire, but Baron Zemo did not. His command was near the small town of Saint-Denis in the north of Paris. There was a train war there. If anything happened in Paris, he would lead his troops to control the entire city through the railway line in the shortest time.
In fact, some things are farther away from Paris, such as the experiment he needed Reinhardt to do this time.
However, Baron Zemo did not directly spread the matter, but instead discussed the current situation of the empire with Reinhardt.
Baron Zemo took out a bottle of champagne from the car's wine storage cabinet, poured himself a glass, and handed it to Reinhardt, and then asked inadvertently: "Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think is the most important thing for the empire at this time?"
"Of course it's speed!" Reinhardt looked at Baron Zemo with a blank expression, and his heart couldn't help but jump.
This person was a little evil. Baron Zemo showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and then he said embarrassedly: "Yes, speed is indeed very important to the empire. Lieutenant Colonel said it well, it is not a pity that it was from the Reinhardt family."
Reinhardt ignored the trap set by Baron Zemo in his words. He glanced at him and said without any scruples: "If the Tank Army had been fast enough to reach Dunkirk one earlier, then nothing would have happened now."
"I don't agree with this!" Baron Zemo suddenly became righteous and said to Reinhardt with a serious look on his face: "This is not someone's fault. After all, none of us thought that the tank army would be so fast, and we didn't expect that the combat capability of the entire French army would be so weak. We originally planned to fight with them, but who thought that they..."
In Reinhardt's smile, Baron Zemo could not continue to say anything. Reinhardt sneered disdainfully, and then continued: "If the speed is fast enough, if we can win several important cities of the polar bear before the beginning of winter this year, then the victory must belong to us. But if our movements are slow and the polar bears react, then the entire empire may be..."
"Lieutenant Colonel, how did you know that the Empire was about to launch troops against the polar bears? Could it be General Reinhardt?" Baron Zemo's eyes flashed with an extremely dangerous gaze. The words Reinhardt said already involved the empire's next strategic direction of military use.
Even among Hydra, there were only a few people who knew about it, and Reinhardt obviously did not have this qualification, but he now knew about it. Could it be that General Reinhardt told him this extremely confidential matter? You know, this is extremely contrary to the imperial military secrets.
"You are wrong, the problem lies in Finland." Reinhardt directly rejected Baron Zemo's speculation, and then said coldly: "The empire's movement in Finland is too great, and all those who pay attention to Nordics can see it. That is, the polar bear thought that after the war last year, Finland had completely surrendered, so he did not notice the abnormality of Finland. Otherwise, all the empire's plans would have been exposed long ago."
