(All the following content and views are only to shape Schmidt's character personality, please do not take it personally.)
Schmidt needs to find a good solution to the current predicament Hydra is in. In fact, since he woke up, he found that the whole world has changed too fast.
In just seventy years, the world has changed so much that people can't see it clearly and can't understand it at the same time. This gave Schmidt more deliberation, or rather, hesitation, when dealing with problems and executing plans.
Schmidt is smart, but a smart person can't simply get rid of decades of disconnection with society. Especially today's rapid social progress. The development of human beings in the past eighty years has surpassed the sum of the previous four thousand years.
The information explosion, the material explosion! In the era where Schmidt lived, eating a full meal every day was a luxury for 90% of the world's people. Schmidt still remembers the food he ate every day in his childhood.
Rye bread and coarse oats were the main foods. (Note: The coarse oats and coarse rye of that era were completely different from the fine oats and fine rye we eat today). You had to chew these foods very carefully. If you swallowed them without thinking, they could cut your fragile esophagus or even injure your intestines and make it impossible to digest.
Meat was not available to every family in that era. Schmidt, who had an orchard at home, was a middle-class family at that time. They could only eat meat once or twice a week to improve their diet. On the day of the improvement, his mother would only make wholemeal bread. If it was a holiday, the family would make white bread with refined wheat flour.
Schmidt still remembers that the white bread made by his mother would be mixed with a little egg and one-third of the milk. The aroma of eggs and milk mixed with refined wheat flour was the best food that Schmidt remembered from his childhood. It would be even better if it was accompanied by jam made at home!
But it was very difficult, because the jam was usually sold for money, and the jam that was seasoned with a lot of sugar was a luxury for the Schmidt family. Even if they produce this, they generally won't eat it because it's too expensive!
But look at today's world! Schmidt can't understand what people are pursuing now. The bitter and sour rye bread in the past was hard to swallow, and the oats that would make your throat hurt if you ate too much. Today, it had become a so-called healthy food, and it was being praised and pursued by a group of so-called healthy people.
Schmidt thought they should be locked up and given a taste of real rye bread and oats from the 1920s. He guessed that if he let these people eat for three days, they would be crying for white bread.
In fact, how much of a difference was there between coarse grains and fine grains after refinement? Schmidt sneered at this. There was also the hedonism and waste prevalent in this era.
Throughout the nearly 6,000 years of recorded human history, more than 50% of people were able to fill their stomachs with peace of mind every day and even pursue the variety and taste of their diet. This period of history was only a short period of 50 years or even shorter.
If it was specific to each country, it might be even shorter. In some countries, the majority of people were still starving.
The amount of food wasted by Europe every year could feed two Africans, and the amount of food wasted by China, Japan, and South Korea every year could meet the needs of all the poor people in Southeast Asia (including their own countries).
Schmidt could not understand what the people of this era were thinking. They sat in front of the TV and computer screen watching all kinds of news and stories, and then typed on the keyboard or mobile phone, sending some compassionate words. They cheered for those in poor areas and provided moral support.
Then they casually threw away the food in the fridge that was not spoiled, but just not to their taste. Or those clothes that were only worn two or three times, just because it was not popular this year, so they just threw them away.
Schmidt really couldn't understand this world. This world seemed to have become worse than his previous world. Those in power turned a deaf ear to this. What a rotten and rotten world!
Schmidt joined the Nazis and Hydra because his family's orchard went bankrupt and he needed to survive. During his days in Hydra, he developed ambition and desire for power.
Anyway, the world is so rotten, and those rotten people can live well in high positions. Why can't I take their place? Schmidt thought.
Anyway, the people at the bottom were insensitive, they may shout slogans with certain ideologies, but it was just shouting slogans, there was no other use.
And now the world seems to have intensified this situation. The division of education for the ignorant and elite has divided the whole world into two distinct systems.
Schmidt can feel that the world is turbulent and changing. But he always feels that he can't grasp anything, he really has a feeling of falling behind the times.
In fact, it's not just him, even Captain Rogers has this feeling. The world is changing too fast, and Captain Rogers did not do well when he first woke up and became the leader of the Avengers.
But compared to Schmidt, Rogers has a huge advantage, that is, he has a group of real friends. They can help Rogers adapt to this era and even help him make decisions at certain times and tell him why he should do what he does.
On the other hand, Schmidt had never trusted anyone else. He only trusted himself. How difficult would it be to rely solely on oneself to integrate into this era of rapid change, which was like igniting a magnesium bar?
And this is Schmidt's biggest shortcoming, he is a person who really has no friends.
"Leader, Leader?" Stryker's whisper pulled Schmidt back from the memories of his adulthood.
Schmidt shook his head gently, "It's okay, you go on."
Stryker was a little reserved in front of Schmidt, "I just talked about creating contradictions. In fact, the main problem we are facing now is the economic encirclement and suppression from several large groups, including the Stark Group. Generally speaking, the best way to solve economic problems is to use economic means. "
"But when economic means can't solve this contradiction, we need to use other means to transfer the contradiction. As it is often said: War is the continuation of politics. "
Schmidt nodded, "It makes sense, but do you think if we expose all the power of Hydra and carry out a massacre or assassination now, will it change our situation? For the better or for the worse? "
Stryker shook his head quickly, "Of course not, Leader. It is the stupidest thing to do in a war. I have served the US military for many years and I know this deeply. A proxy war is always better than the US military. "
"We may be able to make a lot of things simpler without doing anything, even let Tony and his friends and S.H.E.L.D. kill each other," Stryker said with a smile.
Schmidt was a little curious, "Tell me what you think."
Stryker stretched out a finger and said, "In fact, this is a piece of news, a legend that only a few people inside the military know. There shouldn't be more than three people who know this news, and I happen to be one of them. If we spread the news we know, we may be able to get some unexpected gains. "
"I heard that Tony Stark is going to have a wedding soon?" Stryker knew about it from the news, "Maybe we can give him a big gift at his wedding."
Schmidt crossed his legs and asked, "What is it?"
