Of course.
Apart from Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow, there was also another agent, Coulson.
These three agents, "verified" by the notebook, were the subordinates that Nick Fury trusted the most at this stage.
However, even so, this "most trusted" was actually only seventy percent trust.
There's no helping it, this was just the way Nick Fury was, never fully trusting anyone.
Seventy percent was actually considered high for him.
"Barton..."
"Natasha..."
After calling back his two most capable subordinates, Fury issued a series of top-secret orders to them.
He threw these two hard and solid bricks into the battlefield that Nick Fury needed the most at the moment.
What battlefield?
Naturally, it was the secret battle with Hydra.
"From now on, this line will be our dedicated encrypted line."
"Contact me immediately through this encrypted line if you find anything."
"Alright, off you go."
After giving Barton and Black Widow other instructions, Fury waved them off.
As for Fury himself?
After Black Widow and Barton left, he pondered for a moment before also standing up and leaving.
After ensuring he wasn't being followed through counter-surveillance measures, Nick Fury drove his car directly to a very hidden secret base.
Yes, it was the base that Fury had secretly established to research whip technology.
"Sir!"
Not long after entering a room.
A scientist looking person in a white coat came quickly to Nick Fury.
In his hand, he held a very delicate box, and it was unknown what exactly was inside.
However, after Fury nodded slightly, his one eye fell directly on that box.
He was outwardly calm, but internally, he was very expectant.
"The final test has been completed, hasn't it?"
After regaining his gaze, Fury glanced at the scientist and asked in a deep voice.
"It has been completed, but the specific parameters need to be adjusted according to personal preferences."
"That's why I asked you to come over."
The scientist immediately began to brief Nick Fury on the situation.
"Let's begin."
After pondering for a moment, Nick Fury stood up, took off his stylish coat.
Snap, snap!
Seeing this, the scientist quickly opened the delicate box and took out a special "vest".
At first glance, this "vest" looked like a bulletproof vest, but it was thicker and more complicated than ordinary bulletproof vests.
It also had two "wires" that connected to two gloves-like objects.
Fury looked it over briefly, without much hesitation.
With the help of the scientist, he quickly put on this "device".
And promptly activated it.
Buzz!
The front part of the "vest" immediately started to flash with dazzling light.
The gloves in Fury's hands did the same.
At first glance, it was filled with a kind of high-tech aesthetic, quite impressive.
Fury carefully felt his current state, then without hesitation, walked to a stone block that had been prepared in advance.
"Ha!"
He let out a low shout and punched the stone block hard.
Boom!
There was a loud noise immediately.
The stone block was shattered by Nick Fury's punch into bits and pieces.
Fury nodded with satisfaction, quite content with this power.
Even if Captain America came, it wouldn't be much different, right?
But as a king of spies, Nick Fury naturally wouldn't easily reveal his emotions.
He remained expressionless throughout and proceeded with other tests.
After about fifteen minutes, Fury finally took off the "vest".
"The weight is still too heavy. I want you to reduce it to below twenty kilograms."
"Also, decrease the sensitivity by three degrees."
While handing the "vest" to the scientist, Nick Fury made his demands.
The scientist immediately looked troubled, "Sir, this weight is already the minimum after balancing all trade-offs. Any lighter might affect its functionality."
"I don't want to hear this. I'm not concerned about those."
"I sought you out because you are the foremost expert in this field. Will you make me regret this decision?"
"Do you understand?"
Nick Fury, true to his reputation as a king of spies, merely glanced at the scientist, applying great pressure.
The scientist found himself unable to retort.
"Alright, I will discuss this with my team again."
After hesitating for a moment, the scientist agreed to Fury's request.
"How long can the current power source sustain full power operation?"
Nick Fury thought of another question and casually asked.
"This is a simplified reactor, it can only power for five minutes at most."
The scientist gave such an answer.
Five minutes?
Fury was naturally very dissatisfied.
"Double this time!"
Nick Fury naturally made another difficult request to the scientist.
"Sir, forgive me for saying, but this is impossible."
"Before I sought you out, having such a small reactor was also considered impossible, so don't tell me about impossibilities!"
Fury didn't bother with further discussion, firmly assigned the task, and then sent the scientist away.
"Boss."
After the scientist left, Nick Fury called over the head of the base.
After briefly communicating some matters, Fury also issued another order: "Prepare, we're moving to a new location within fifteen days."
"Moving again?"
The head of the base expressed ex
treme surprise, as this base had already been secretly moved once.Just two months later, Hydra successfully located this secret base and obtained the technology that had been "enhanced" by Fury
"Commander, we've obtained the data on the whip technology; the tech team is currently verifying and analyzing it," reported a senior undercover agent in the Tri-Wing Tower's top-floor office.
Hearing the report from the senior undercover agent opposite him, Alexander Pierce couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
After such a long time, finally, there was some good news.
God knows how depressing these past few months have been for Pierce.
It wasn't long after Stern's incident, and Pierce hadn't even fully recovered from the financial loss, when Stark blew up Winter Soldier's base.
Hydra not only lost a sharp tool like the Winter Soldier but also got a significant blow from Nick Fury in these months.
Considering the loss from Stern's incident, even Hydra, despite its vast resources, was feeling the pressure.
Obtaining the whip technology was the only consolation.
"Excellent!"
"This is exactly what we need now!"
"I want to see results as soon as possible!"
Alexander Pierce's voice, full of approval, rang out, and the old man's eyes shimmered with light once more.
Although Hydra had been secretly studying Captain America's blood sample for a while, there had been no progress at all.
This technology from World War II, as if sealed by a magical curse, remained a mystery that no one could unravel.
Annoying as it was, Alexander Pierce had to admit a hard truth:
Finding a substitute for the Winter Soldier in the short term seemed unlikely.
Of course.
Inside the base in Siberia, there were indeed other super-soldiers frozen.
But those super-soldiers were highly unstable, and even Hydra couldn't fully control them.
Therefore, Pierce wouldn't consider deploying those super-soldiers unless absolutely necessary.
In this context, the importance of the whip technology became even more evident.
"Understood, Commander!" The senior undercover agent firmly responded.
"How are things looking with Stark?" Pierce nodded, satisfied with the senior undercover agent's attitude, then inquired about another issue of concern.
"I was about to report to you about that, Commander."
"The reason Stark suddenly attacked our base is because he found out that the Winter Soldier was the killer of his parents."
"Stark was seeking revenge."
"As for Nick Fury, he didn't show any suspicious behavior; he was merely alarmed by the commotion caused by Stark."
Hearing this report made Alexander Pierce frown.
Stark knew the true cause of the Howards' deaths?
How could this be?
So many years had passed since the incident; it should have been settled long ago.
Why would Tony Stark uncover this highly confidential truth so many years after the fact?
Could it be because of Stern's incident?
After all, Stern's downfall, or rather, the exposure of his Hydra identity, was due to Tony Stark's investigation.
As for what exactly Tony Stark discovered during that investigation, Alexander Pierce wasn't sure.
Apart from Tony Stark and Nick Fury, no one else really knew.
But now, it seemed that Tony Stark must have discovered quite a bit.
Of course, Pierce also believed that Tony Stark didn't find anything about the Winter Soldier while investigating Stern.
After all, that waste Stern didn't even know about the Winter Soldier's affairs, and there was no connection between the two.
But it was evident that Tony Stark must have uncovered some critical information and then conducted further investigations.
Eventually, he dug up information on the Winter Soldier and the truth about his parents' deaths!
And then, he found the secret base of the Winter Soldier.
That must have been the case.
Other than that, Alexander Pierce couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.
"That waste!"
"Good for nothing but trouble!"
Thinking about this, Alexander Pierce inwardly cursed Stern for the trouble and loss he caused Hydra.
"Stark now knows how much about us?"
After calming his emotions, Pierce raised his head again and asked the senior undercover agent.
"How much Stark has uncovered, we don't know."
"But one of our databases was breached, and there was access from an unknown IP."
The senior undercover agent gave a rather pessimistic answer, "Although we can't identify who broke into our system, the timing of the breach coincides with when Stark attacked our base."
There's no doubt about it.
The one who breached that database must have been Tony Stark.
Not to mention the timing, who else but that genius could have done this?
So, both Pierce and the senior undercover agent were convinced that Tony Stark was behind this.
Hence, Alexander Pierce's expression turned grim.
"It seems Stark must have gained quite a bit of information."
After a moment of silence, Pierce finally uttered somberly.
Even without considering the breach of their database, the mere fact that Tony Stark found the Winter Soldier's base says a lot.
Iron Man must possess something extremely shocking.
This was not good news for Pierce.
"Commander, how should we deal with Stark?"
The senior undercover agent inquired seriously, posing a critical question to Pierce.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no question, just send someone to eliminate the problem.
But Tony Stark's status was too special; an assassination would have too great an impact, which is why the senior undercover agent sought Pierce's opinion.
"Any obstacle to Hydra's growth must be eliminated."
"No exceptions!"
Alexander Pierce declared decisively.
No matter if it's Tony Stark or not, anyone in Hydra's way must die!
