Task report, December 16. It contained far more than just that video footage, including the target, process, and outcome of that operation. But what was the most important thing in it?
To Hydra, it was the Super Soldier serum the Winter Soldier had stolen from Howard, as well as the whereabouts of the soldiers enhanced with those serums. These were Hydra's most closely guarded secrets.
At present, the complete version of this report existed only in the original copy at the Siberian branch and in the Winter Soldier's memories.
Compared to those things, the video footage was not particularly important. It was merely blurry footage recorded by an old-fashioned camera from 1991, documenting the true cause of death of someone who had once been remarkable.
Ten years had passed. Other than the deceased's family, who would still care about this? And even if they did, so what? The most important information—the Winter Soldier team's situation—had nothing to do with this video. The secret remained safe.
That was why, after Howitzer had pulled a few strings, he had obtained this video so easily. It was practically worthless. That was also why there was only this video; everything else was far too important, top-secret information that could never be handed over to anyone.
But Evenson saw things differently. In his eyes, this video was the most important part of that report. The Winter Soldier team Hydra treasured, on the other hand, was of little value.
Leaving aside whether he could make those Super Soldiers serve him after finding them, even if he could, so what? They were merely a squad of Winter Soldiers. Evenson had casually given Howitzer twenty Felified Humans, and their combat strength was no weaker than that of the Winter Soldiers.
