The situation of the war was unexpected, and the US troops stationed in the border area launched several attacks on Wakanda in less than a week, but the final results were very unsatisfactory, and it can even be said that it was extremely bad.
Wakanda is a small country, with a total strength of less than 100,000 warriors from various tribes, but as an isolated country with a long history of peace and abundant natural resources, it is extremely rich in its own economy, especially through its own vibranium technology, producing and hoarding a large number of advanced weapons, making their potential military strength far beyond the Pentagon's initial estimates.
You know, in the original timeline, Kermungo, who defeated T'Challa the Black Panther, wanted to deliver weapons to his fellow black people around the world, so as to set off a massive act of change and try to establish a new era of domination.
It can be seen that Wakanda's military strength is not weak, but with its self-produced vibranium weapons and various unbelievable black technologies, it is enough to wrestle with any country in the world.
And the bald eagle, which has always regarded itself as the world's policeman and likes to stir up disputes everywhere, has hit an iron wall this time.
In the initial contact battle, General Mattis first adopted symbolic air attack tactics, intermittent missile attacks, and widespread firepower.
Generally speaking, this kind of missile washing is quite effective against small countries, which is enough to crush the fighting spirit and confidence of the Wakanda royal family, and provide a huge advantage for subsequent operations.
Who knew that the capital of Wakanda was equipped with a powerful defense network, and air attack missiles could not carry out large-scale bombing at all, and from the beginning of the war, the border tribes on the periphery shrank their defense lines, plus their heavy weapons such as armored combat vehicles and artillery, and generally used vibranium alloy, which was difficult to destroy, so the air raid bombing had little effect.
And soon the U.S. military found out that the Wakandans, who were painted with oil paint and dressed in beast fur, like primitive tribes, even used vibranium slag particles for the concrete of the fortifications!
At a time when the world is stinging money on a gram of vibranium, this third world country has reached such an extent of luxury. Truth be told, when General Mattis learned the news, his eyes were red.
It's not because the sadness is irrepressible, but the flame of greed that comes from the heart is getting higher and higher!
So the Pentagon decided to invest more troops, but after the land operation began, General Mattis once again collapsed, and the vibranium cloaks equipped by the border tribe warriors, as well as the specially bred war rhinoceros, directly pressed the American GIs to the ground and rubbed them, even if the tanks and heavy artillery were all in battle, they could not overcome the strong defense line of Wakanda, but lost troops again.
After two defeats, General Mattis has understood that unless the war escalates and the army is authorized to use more powerful weapons of destruction, it will be a difficult task to take Wakanda in sixty days.
On the same night, King T'Chaka, who led the army to fight, crossed the border with the royal escort, used stealth technology to conceal radar and outposts, and attacked the front-line combat headquarters at night.
Under his leadership, the powerful women's guards inflicted heavy losses on the American troops stationed in the forward positions, and almost captured General Mattis, who was the supreme commander, alive, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the mutant legions, they would have been able to salvage the defeat and force him to withdraw from the camp.
Of course, the Brotherhood and John and the others have a tacit understanding with each other, and they all paddle silently, looking like they are in full swing, with flames and frozen air flying all over the sky, and the sound and light special effects are extremely cool.
General Matisse is destined to return home with disappointment, and when S.H.I.E.L.D. comes out to clean up the mess and split the cake, that's the moment to really exert his strength.
A month later, the U.S. forces still hadn't advanced half a minute toward the Wakanda Line, and for a full thirty days, half of the time limit for the military strike had passed, and General Mattis had nothing to contribute to it, except for the loss of more troops and the consumption of more supplies.
"Damn chimpanzees!" The general put down his binoculars and cursed unwillingly.
He never imagined that he would actually suffer a rare defeat in his life in this place, losing to a group of barbarians with cold weapons!
No wonder Thaddeus didn't make a bird, the other party may have gotten some news in advance. Wakanda is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, General Mattis shook his head and sighed, he has great qualifications and experience in commanding operations, but who would have thought that the modern elite troops of the United States would be crushed in the sand.
"Who will be able to turn the tide next?"
General Mattis, who signed off on the transfer of power, wondered if S.H.I.E.L.D. would be able to overcome the strong Wakandans.
…………
Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, inside a private club.
"Mattis can't see the situation clearly, and all sober people should understand that the mode of war in this world has completely changed after the appearance of Captain America!"
General Ross was holding a large cigar in his mouth, the blue smoke wafting faintly, and he was talking about the defeat of his old rival, while the young man sitting across from him sipped his glass of wine and made a gesture of listening attentively.
"Fighting is no longer a battle between soldiers fighting in the trenches with rifles, relying on courage and heavy casualties to decide the winner! Whoever has more powerful fighters, better equipment, and more advanced technology may be the first to break through the defense line and become the final victor! ”
General Ross took a deep breath, and that guy from Mattis was pushed out, and generally the first bird didn't end well, because if you can't dodge the bullet that fired, you will end up miserable.
"That's right, those people only have profit in their eyes, and they think that Wakanda, like the African natives of the last century, can easily conquer with muskets and cannons, knock on the country's door, and then dig up that inexhaustible vein of vibranium...... They don't understand what we want! ”
Sean echoed the general's words, he deliberately ignored important information, causing some interest groups to get carried away and want to take Wakanda's vibranium resources first, they completely forgot that the huge cake will never be enjoyed by others.
"We don't care about profit, we only value power." The young man's tone was firm, and his calm bearing exuded the majesty of the superior, "The United States cannot eat Wakanda alone, we have to learn to share, throw the interests in our hands as bargaining chips, level the world Security Council, reformulate the rules of the game, and then get more power." ”
"Then we're just waiting to see what we do. By the way, I have to thank you for the little gift, Sean. ”
General Ross is in high spirits, the Pentagon has chosen to recall Mattis, there is still half the time left in the military strike, and they must see the results.
If this foreign war is lost, the national prestige of the United States and the large military spending ...... These questions will become a noose around the neck, which can be tightened at any time and strangle this bald eagle!
"Don't mind. General, the new human race is the trend of the future, Ambrera has developed the 'Fountain of Youth' especially for big people like you, which can effectively delay the aging of the body and strengthen personal physical fitness, and the medicine you injected is a perfect masterpiece. ”
General Ross smiled and nodded, he subconsciously clenched his fists, his aging body was full of vitality, this old man who was over half a hundred years old was more like a strong young man.
"I can't imagine that one day, I will have such great power like Banner!" The general strove his beard triumphantly.
"Respect for the future of the country!"
"To our future."
In the crisp clinking of glasses, the two said different toasts.
