As John and Barbie, with the help of Ulysses Crowe, make their way to Wakanda, isolated from the rest of the world, the White House holds a security meeting, which no longer discusses Asgard or the Nine Star Fields, but becomes a human nation on the same planet.

Not long ago, the Ministry of Defense submitted a specific report on Wakanda, and a diplomat who cares about international affairs also handed over an application for international assistance from the Wakanda royal family. By astonishing coincidence, this third world country came into the eyes of politicians and chaebols for the first time.

The first report claims that Wakanda has extremely valuable mineral resources and that its economic and military value is incomparable, while the second report says that the country's royal orphans are persecuted and have to seek help from the international community.

The two news collided together, and even a fool could see that someone was secretly promoting this matter, but no one paid attention to this, and representatives from all walks of life in politics and economics attended the meeting, and they only cared about the authenticity of the report.

If Wakanda is indeed rich in vibranium, then there is no doubt that the United States will once again launch a large-scale overseas military operation to make it the next Kuwait.

The new energy promoted by Stark Industries is gradually causing the collapse and disintegration of the "petrodollar system" established by the United States, and the sharp contradictions are becoming increasingly obvious.

The East Room of the White House, which can accommodate 300 guests, is filled with a group of people representing the top of the entire country, who stand at the top of the pyramid of power, and who are now chattering and arguing like businessmen in the market, who are eager to roll up their sleeves and fight.

Even through the sturdy walnut door, the secret service personnel outside could hear the heated conversation coming from the hall, as if the voice of the competition was louder, the generals of the Ministry of Defense and the bureaucrats of the cabinet, interrogating each other, like menacing cockfights.

"As the report says, Wakanda is a very special African country, with world-leading technology, rich vibranium veins, its own cultural traditions and ancient writings...... For centuries, it has never actively communicated with the outside world, but it is worth mentioning that it has never been invaded by foreign enemies......"

Standing in the center of the hall, Everett, a CIA officer, pointed to several maps and explained that he had been stationed in eastern Africa for a long time, carrying out missions in Kenya, Sudan and other countries, and had extremely rich experience in dealing with the problems of third world countries.

"The report points out that the Wakandans have a martial tradition, military power is not backward, and I don't think we should take it lightly as a third world country that can hide for centuries and go unnoticed by anyone......"

"Am I going to worry about those natives taking down American planes with spears?" A Defense Department official laughed.

His sarcasm elicited a chorus, and the hall was instantly filled with laughter, with generals and bureaucrats constantly exchanging heads, and the delegates from all walks of life at the back of the invitation table did not care, repeatedly looking at the contents of the Wakanda report.

To put it bluntly, they only have valuation data on vibranium veins in their eyes, and as for the national strength of Wakanda, who would believe that a third world country can stand up to the steel army of the United States?

Of course, this has something to do with the report's deliberate vagueness about Wakanda's military power, and the first report that was submitted highlighted the abundance of mineral resources, but the rest was almost all mentioned.

"They don't have an alliance with any country, including Kenya and Sudan, which means that Wakanda is not a member of the League of African States, not even OPEC – they are alone!"

The bureaucrat of the Ministry of Defense almost didn't stand up, and directly said, "There is a huge gold mine under the feet of these African natives, let's quickly bring people over to grab it", after all, the surface work still needs to be done.

The barbaric atrocities of the new century are usually disguised under the language of civilization.

This is one of the characteristics of the times.

"I think that as a world power, the United States has a responsibility to provide adequate international assistance to Wakanda, and an orphan of the royal family, whose father is said to be the younger brother of the King of Wakanda, a high-ranking prince, was accidentally killed, which is suspected to be related to the transfer of power in the royal family...... Everybody! We should stand up and fulfill the responsibilities of a great power! ”

Another senator is well versed in the art of language, and his words are awe-inspiring and full of the true character of a politician.

Take the lead in occupying the moral high ground, and then put on a glossy cloak of international aid for future military threats, anyway, whether others believe it or not, everyone present believes it.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, the two reports were like sparks falling into a pan of oil, the whole hall boiled, and greed was like a scorching fire, igniting the ambition and desire of mankind.

An isolated kingdom with no one to rely on, not strong enough in force, sitting on massive wealth, rare mineral veins, and just an excuse for other countries to interfere and intervene, no one can stop the politicians and corporate spokesmen present here from activating the war machine!

The president looked coldly, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Sean, who was sitting in the back seat, and Underwood, as a veteran politician, certainly noticed the anomaly, and General Thaddeus-Roth, who presented the Wakanda report, was uncharacteristically not actively involved in the heated topic, but calmly a bystander.

This is not in line with the character of General Ross, a hawkish general who has always been aggressive, participated in the Gulf War, and was active in overseas theaters such as Iraq and Kosovo.

In his long military career, he can be said to be dressed in medals and national glory, and is regarded as a representative of the hawks.

When the meeting was adjourned, President Underwood and the Secretary of State came to the reception room, followed by Sean and General Ross.

"Mr. Siperth, what is your attitude towards Wakanda?" Mr. President, who was in the prime of life, asked.

The president has the power to start the war machine, even if Congress denies it, he can still launch military action around obstacles, and although the United States has never officially declared war since World War II, wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have taken place.

These foreign wars are a product of the War Powers Act of 1973, which allows the president to engage in military activities for 60 days without the consent of Congress.

But before the president makes a decision, he wants to know Sean's attitude, and the forces behind this young man are intertwined and affect the direction and future of the country.

"You might as well let the enthusiastic generals and the spokespersons of the consortium take the lead first."

Sean smiled at the corner of his mouth, Wakanda is not a cake that can be swallowed alone, and the United States cannot monopolize all mineral resources.

Rather than waiting until the uneven distribution of the spoils is broken, it is better to let those greedy guys run into a wall, and when they taste the cutting-edge weapons of Wakanda, as well as the strong military strength, General Ross will naturally lead S.H.I.E.L.D. to clean up the mess.

"Rashly start the war, the World Security Council ......"

President Underwood is suspicious that the vibranium vein is too hot, and he is afraid that it will be coveted by many forces, especially the five major countries led by the World Security Council.

The United States occupies only one seat in it, and does not have an absolute right to speak.

"They'll agree because it's my decision." Sean tapped his fingers on the armrest and said in a flat tone.

The president was stunned at first, then reacted and said nothing more.

At that moment, the young man sitting in the chair seemed to be the real master of the country.
