Chapter 794: The Mystery of Wakanda
Everyone else is watching S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation of Wakanda, but King T'Chaka stares at the blacked-out names of the dead, and remembers the night 22 years ago: his brother Nichob, who had failed to fight for the throne, was sent to California as a spy.
In the so-called developed countries, Nichob saw the persecution and discrimination of African Americans everywhere, which made him quite angry, and with his extraordinary skills and outstanding abilities, a large number of blacks soon gathered around him.
After many failed attempts to fight for his rights peacefully, Nichob wanted radical means to show the self-righteous white pigs the power of black people, so he began to actively campaign, contacting his companions, buying weapons, and even working with Ulysses Crowe to steal vibranium from Wakanda several times to raise funds for his violent actions.
But on the eve of the operation, T'Chaka came to his door and harshly criticized his actions for the unimaginable consequences for Wakanda and the black people, violence only led to more violence, and injuries only led to more persecution.
Nichob had no remorse, but loudly accused Wakanda of being cold-blooded, obviously with advanced technology and strong strength, but he sat back and watched the persecution of African Americans, and even scolded his ancestors, regardless of the centuries-old black slave trade, and even said that 'every black man killed by white people, when the soul curses those white people, it should also curse Wakanda'.
The two people quarreled inseparably, and there was no possibility of reconciliation with the big differences of opinion, which made T'Chaca, who had just sat on the throne for a short time, extremely angry, Nichob was completely challenging the majesty of the king, and even ignored the traditions and laws of Wakanda, refused to return to Wakanda with T'Chaka to stand trial, insisted on launching an attack, and led the blacks to resist tyranny.
At the end of the drama, T'Challa returns to Wakanda with Zuri, the spy who was lurking beside Nichob, while the dead Nichob is abandoned in his room...
When T'Chaka lost his mind, Stark had turned off the holographic projection, making these confidential information disappear, but the waves in T'Challa's heart had not subsided for a long time, and the secrets they thought were hidden had long been exposed to the eyes of many people.
Stark saw the shock of the two fathers and sons, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face, S.H.I.E.L.D. did investigate Wakanda, but the time was not so early, and there was not so much information in hand, and useful information may not be enough to write on a piece of paper.
But they don't know, so Stark unceremoniously dumped the pot on S.H.I.E.L.D., anyway, now it's Alexander Pierce in charge, let them pinch each other, not to mention that there is a Nick Fury in the middle, this guy has a great ability to hide intelligence, and Alexander Pierce probably didn't get much top-secret information that Nick Fury has.
T'Chaka sighed imperceptibly, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a somewhat low expression: "Mr. Stark, let's talk about it here today, the matter of trade has to be discussed by the Wakanda Presbyterian Church, you know, it always takes a long time for the council to decide something." β
"I know how efficient they are." Stark also stood up, shook hands with T'Chaca, and then politely sent the father and son downstairs until they were at the gate, and waited for the father and son to board and leave before returning to the building.
Banner, who stayed upstairs, reopened Stark's closed holographic projection with a shocked face, carefully read the encrypted files, looked at them a few times, and shouted, "Jarvis, can you remove the blackout?" β
"Okay, Dr. Banner."
Jarvis replied politely, and the blackout on the data disappeared in an instant, and it was clear that Banner knew Stark well.
The blacked-out and disappearing information details the UFO incident, and the deceased in the apartment is named Nichob, has a high education, and has a son, Eric Stevens, who was sent to an orphanage.
According to the government system, the child was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and after graduating as a graduate student, he did not choose a high-paying job, but joined the army, applied to be stationed abroad, and joined the Navy SEALs because of his excellent performance.
According to information from the Pentagon, Eric Stevens made a lot of contributions on the battlefield in Afghanistan, but he was very murderous, and was eventually transferred out of Afghanistan because of this, but Eric Stevens chose to leave the army after being promoted, and his whereabouts have not been found.
After reading these materials, Banner still looked puzzled, turned his head to look at Greel, who was reading the magic book, and asked, "Have you seen these?" β
"Uh-huh."
"So the people on this are all from Wakanda?"
"That's right, Wakanda has sent people all over the world, and you can also talk about spies, through these people to understand the changes in various countries, and they don't collect sensitive military and political information, so they are extremely hidden, I'm afraid that even S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't found a single spy in Wakanda." Greer, who participated the most, learned a lot of secrets about Wakanda.
Because there is so little information, even S.H.I.E.L.D. under the leadership of Nick Fury has not obtained much information about Wakanda, and it is estimated that it has not even entered the city shrouded in protective shields, let alone the vibranium mine.
On the contrary, there was a fat man with gray hair standing next to him, well-dressed and with a kind smile on his face, which seemed to give people the impression of a harmless and honest person, and gave a good first impression.
When Greer heard the noise, he raised his eyes to see Stark and the others returning, so he closed the magic book, put it aside, put his feet on the ground, and sat up straight, and then everyone sat down and began this serious six-party meeting. When you get a contract full of overlord clauses, the first thing you have to think about is how much benefit this contract can bring to everyone. General Ross asked Hydra to appear and say, what law the Avengers use to destroy us, then one day they will destroy you for the same reason.
It was said that there were six people, but in fact, it was basically only Stark and T'Chaka who spoke, and the others were either absent-minded, or listened carefully, or kept looking around, or didn't know what to say.
Big shots, the beginning must be a bit of nonsense, to set off the atmosphere, so the front is basically all kinds of nonsense, and the people who listen to it are drowsy, but the two old foxes just don't get to the point.
I know what you're here for, and you know I know what you're here for, but I'm just pretending I don't know what you're here for.
You come and go, all of them are from the diving team, and the competition is to see who can't hold their breath first.
Rod had already lowered his head and counted his fingernails, Banner was simulating the experiment in his mind, Greer picked up the book and continued to read, and T'Challa looked at his watch from time to time, it had been almost half an hour since he had been here, and it was useless.
Finally, when Stark began to talk to King T'Chaka about the capital of the dish, T'Challa finally couldn't help but say, "Why not say something else?" β
Stark immediately shifted his target and asked, "What do you want to talk about?" β
"You know I want toβ" T'Challa was interrupted by King T'Challa's sharp voice, "T'Challa." β
"I don't know how to read minds, how do I know what you want to say?" Stark smiled again, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "Maybe you should find a toy for the little prince to play with, he won't be so impatient, but my plane is not for sale, what do you want?" β
Hearing Stark's words two days in advance, T'Challa's face turned pale, and he glared at Stark with some fierceness in his eyes, and said, "You robbed us of our vibranium. β
"Your vibranium? Isn't Wakanda herding sheep and farming? When did you switch to vibranium? β
With all that said, there was no need to beat around the bush, King T'Chaka stretched out his hand to stop T'Challa's angry words, and said with a solemn face: "Wakanda has indeed accumulated some vibranium for thousands of years, but it was stolen by the thief Ulysses Crowe twenty-two years ago, which is why Wakanda is so poor..."
Before Techaca's last words of salvation could be finished, he stopped, and could not spit out the rest of the words, his cloudy eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the holographic projection that suddenly appeared in front of him: a huge mountain, tunnels around the mountain wall downward, submerged into the deep hole, inside which were countless automated instruments, excavating ore, loading it into special containers, and then transporting it out of the pit by rail cars...
Everything is highly automated, from mining to packing to shipping out, without a single person, and this automated mining system is enough to put all the miners in the world out of work.
Rhodes and Banner were confused, and the Black Panther father and son were so shocked that they almost burst their hearts, this is Wakanda's top secret vibranium mine, after the theft of Ulysses Crowe, it was closely guarded by the army and automated equipment, no one was allowed to approach, and even the excavated vibranium was no longer transported into the city, but placed in a location known to the Black Panther royal family.
But the holographic projection in front of them told them that the self-righteous method of secrecy was simply useless, Stark already knew the location of the mine, the mining process, and even the half-section of the inside of the mine, and the so-called top secret was a joke.
Grell raised his eyes to see that Stark really knew how to get into Wakanda, and found the location of the vibranium, could it be that when the Black Panther came out to catch Ulysses Crowe last time, he discovered the location of the protective shield in and out?
T'Chaka took a deep breath, resisted the uneasiness and anger in his heart, and finally faced the famous Iron Man, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" β
"Build a trade and trade what you need for what I need." Stark finally 'came to his senses' and told the purpose of the favorable situation that he had worked so hard to achieve: vibranium, almost two hundred kilograms of vibranium in his hand, was not enough to satisfy his appetite, and he wanted more.
"Wakanda is not threatened." T'Challa was almost a case-taker, did he really think that this little thing would bring Wakanda to its knees? No way; Do you think the battle of the first two days is all there is to Wakanda? He also underestimated Wakanda too much, thinking that with an Avengers, he could do whatever he wanted?
"No, not a threat, but cooperation." Stark stretched out his hand and pointed at the indignant T'Challa, turned his head to T'Challa, whose face changed slightly, and said: "You said in the United Nations that Wakanda is seeking openness and cooperation, but except for a few people, everyone else thinks that Wakanda is nothing more than a poor and backward agricultural country.
No one is going to invest there, and even if there is, it's in a high-minded gesture of charity, of course, you have money, many companies have your shares, and there are spies sent all over the world, and you don't need outsiders to invest..."
Stark's words were like a depth charge, setting off turbulent waves, and T'Challa's shocked eyes were about to pop out just now, T'Challa's expression was not much better than his, I thought that Stark's investigation of vibranium was enough, but I didn't expect this guy to know about Wakanda's spy agency PRIDE, which... Where did he find out?
Banner and Rhodes were already dumbfounded, the vibranium that was a hundred times more precious than gold was actually measured in tons, and there was a spy agency comparable to the CIA, which directly shattered the worldview.
T'Chaka took a deep breath, grabbed his son's arm, dragged him back, sat down beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you know this?" β
"It's just that you think you're hidden, and S.H.I.E.L.D. started investigating you twenty-two years ago." Stark tapped the screen of his phone as he spoke, converting the holographic projection between the six into pages of blacked-out more than one-third of the blacked-out data that recorded a homicide in 1992:
The deceased was a black man at the time, and according to the investigation, he bought a lot of weapons and contacted some black people in an attempt to launch an attack on a group that discriminated against black people, but he died at home on the eve of the attack, and an accomplice disappeared.
But because a child witnessed a UFO that night, S.H.I.E.L.D. took over the case and conducted a detailed and in-depth investigation, which found that there was a problem with the person's identity, and then... It's blacked out, and nothing else can be seen.
The key places are all blacked out, Stark explained that it is the level encryption system of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the information read at different levels is not willing, so much is only solved for the time being, and the rest will take time, but there is no guarantee that it can be unlocked.
But judging from the information that can be browsed, S.H.I.E.L.D. may have noticed Wakanda from that time, but how did they use a corpse to identify this person as a Wakanda? It's a bit puzzling, and it's clear that the key information is still in the blacked-out parts.
Banner and Rhodes have been completely reshaped, and they can't imagine how much energy S.H.I.E.L.D. has, since then, they have noticed this poor country, so the information about Wakanda that Stark just showed should have been stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D.
