Marvel: Starting with the creation of Hydra

Take the members of the organization.

The Hydra under Clark's name only counts tens of thousands of people.

These tens of thousands of people include all types of workers, not just combatants.

Then look at the other Hydra forces.

Take Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., there are more than 100,000 people within S.H.I.E.L.D. alone.

This is not an exaggerated number.

You know, SHIELD is a global spy organization.

It is also the largest and most extensive spy organization in the world, with more than 200,000 to 300,000 members under its name?

Of course, that's all.

If it were just agents who could be pulled out and had combat capabilities, there would definitely not be so many.

In this regard, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still taking the elite route.

You know, in countries like the United States, some private arms groups maintain many mercenaries abroad.

The number of mercenaries raised by those companies ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

But actually?

Hundreds of thousands are a lot, but what is their combat effectiveness?

If SHIELD pulls out any professional combat agent, he can easily defeat dozens or twenty of them.

Therefore, sometimes more people does not mean strength.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat division may only number in the tens of thousands.

But what kind of equipment are they equipped with?

Let’s take a look at what equipment you are equipped with?

What kind of training do people receive?

Look at you again?

Just grab a gun and shoot the target for a few days before you dare to call yourself a mercenary.

Is this combat capability comparable?

There's no comparison at all!

What's more, what Pierce controls is not just a Hydra personnel installed within SHIELD, he also has considerable influence outside SHIELD.

At least that's the information Clark had.

There are at least three security companies in the United States, and Pierce's shadow is behind them.

The number of armed personnel under the names of these three security companies is at least close to 50,000.

These are not rookies who have been training for a few days.

These are all warriors who have trained for at least a year and have certain combat qualities.

These 50,000 people alone already exceeded the total number of people on Clark's side.

However, it’s still the same truth.

Having more people does not mean being stronger.

Don't forget, Clark also has an army of androids under his command.

This 500-man android force alone is enough to compete with Pierce's 50,000-person security force.

Artificial humans have many advantages.

The absence of obvious vitals is one of their many advantages.

If you are a human being, even if you are wearing the most high-end body armor, you still cannot protect your whole body.

If you are hit in the arm, neck, lower limbs, etc., which cannot be protected by bulletproof vests, the pain can range from excruciating pain to death on the spot.

But artificial humans are different.

They have no sense of pain and no visible vital organs.

Even if he is shot in the head, he can still continue to fight vigorously.

After being equipped with modern weapons, it can be said that it is easy to fight one against a hundred.

This is not Clark's wild guess.

In fact, this is all based on reality.

Previously, the Hydra under Clark's name clashed with other local Hydras, and an android team was dispatched at that time.

This team only has 10 androids.

However, he used his own strength ten times that of ordinary people, plus the surrounding terrain, to annihilate an armed force of 3,000 people guarding the opponent's base in less than ten minutes.

The price paid was only some damage to the bodies of two of the androids, so it would be no problem to go back and repair them.

This kind of record is not only one against a hundred, but also one against three hundred.

Therefore, Clark is being modest when he compares his android army with Pierce's 50,000 security force.

"However, the cost of manufacturing artificial humans is still a bit high."

Clark, who has returned to his office, is also thinking about the feasibility of expanding the android army. The initial cost of an android is about six million U.S. dollars.

Taking into account subsequent maintenance, repairs, etc., the cost can reach Seven million US dollars.

This is the price of a combat-type artificial human.

If it is just an ordinary artificial human, the materials can be much cheaper, and the cost is only about three million US dollars.

Clark currently has 500 combat-type artificial beings.

The cost has reached 3.5 billion U.S. dollars!

There are 1,000 ordinary artificial humans.

The cost is almost 3.2 billion U.S. dollars!

In this way, Clark has spent nearly 7 billion U.S. dollars on these artificial humans alone!

Although the Hydra under his name has been Under the leadership of Skynet, he earned a lot of money, but in fact most of this money was invested in the expansion of the organization. What was actually left by Clark for personal use was probably less than five or six dollars a year. It looks like billions of dollars.
