If the Council is the American branch of HYDRA, and they were well connected in America even before the war, does that mean that the Red Skull branch were their enemies? Given that the Red Skulls version of HYDRA had a different goal than bringing It back to Earth? Otherwise, if the branches were working together, one would think that the American branch would try to sabotage the Allied war effort from the inside.
