59. Before the war

Nestled between the mountains, Wakanda is shielded from prying eyes by a barrier similar to optical camouflage, leading people to mistakenly believe that the barren and barren land of the indigenous people of the outer periphery is the essence of the country.

The capital Birnin Zana is a strange city with backwardness in civilization and wilderness in modernity, close to the center of the royal residence, with high-rise buildings and staggered tracks, like a futuristic city full of technology; However, there are scattered low shacks with African style and rough and primitive brick and stone buildings, forming a different contrast.

In the royal family's conference hall, Okoye, the leader of the royal guard who guards the king, is a bald female warrior with a fierce temperament and a hundred battles, and the beads on her wrist project a clear picture, and the string of metallic beads is a unique technology product in Wakanda, similar to a mobile phone smart terminal, with many functions such as communication and video.

"This is a handicraft of the Kingdom of Wakanda, once mistaken for the handiwork of other civilizations, which appeared yesterday on the underground black market in the border area, and its seller is none other than Ulysses Crowe, this despicable thief appeared near Wakanda, and was accidentally discovered by our spies."

In the image projected by Chimo Yuzhu, a metal object resembling a mountaineering pickaxe emerges, which is one of the few handicrafts from Wakanda that circulates to the outside world, and then condenses into a bearded smuggler, who is none other than Ulysses Crowe, Wakanda's most wanted criminal.

King T'Chaka, who sat on the chief, once wore a vibranium suit in the prime of life, and in the name of the black panther, he wanted to capture this criminal and return to China to appease the anger of the people, but unfortunately the other party was extremely cunning and cowered on the west coast of the United States all the year round, so that he did not have the slightest chance to attack.

As a king, of course, he had to abide by the Wakanda tradition, minimize the attention of the outside world, and keep a low profile, so that Ulysses Crowe has survived until now.

"For nearly 30 years, we have not been able to catch Crow, which is the regret of my life, and I cannot give an account to the people who have returned to the leopard goddess Baste."

King T'Chaka glanced at Wakabi, the head of the border army, Wakanda's military chief, whose parents had been killed in the explosion caused by Ulysses Crowe.

"This is the opportunity that Heaven has given me, and as a king, I am obliged to arrest this abominable thief who has committed a great crime! As the black panther who guards the country, I should also bring him back and hand him over to the people for trial! ”

The old king spoke loudly, his tone impassioned, but the out-of-shape body that had slowly become bloated and fat because of his age made people wonder if the old panther could still regain the posture of his youth.

"Father, you are the king of Wakanda, you should not leave easily, it is better for me to go for you, and let me judge this villain who has committed a heinous crime in the name of the leopard goddess Baster!" So said the young prince T'Challa.

That young face was full of perseverance and bravery, and his eyes were sharp, and he already had the temperament of a leader.

The old king, who was leaning on the seat, breathed a sigh of relief, he had no intention of taking the risk himself, he failed to take Ulysses Crow three times when he was young, not to mention that now that he is old, his body has long been weakened due to neglect of exercise, and he has lost his previous strong combat strength.

The reason why I say this is nothing more than the idea of buying people's hearts, Wakabi, who commands the border army, has always been angry that the enemy who killed his parents did not get the trial he deserved, and the elders of all ethnic groups present also complained that Ulysses-Crowe is still at large, which is a silent humiliation to Wakanda!

T'Chaka knew that he was getting old and his energy was not as good as before, and the world situation was unpredictable, and there were still nine star fields outside the earth, among which Asgard, the most powerful, now took the initiative to extend an olive branch of peace and was establishing contact with the earth.

It is foreseeable that a mighty tide of innovation is about to set off.

How should Wakanda deal with itself?

This is a question that haunts the old king, keeping him awake at night, whether he boldly breaks away from ancient traditions, violates the hidden principles that the state has long adhered to, and communicates more with the world, or whether he continues to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and becomes an isolated bystander?

T'Chaka had made a vague decision in his mind, but there were factions within Wakanda, and the conservative and corrupt tribal elders would not approve of such a step.

So before that, he had to give the heir to the throne, his only son, T'Challa, enough prestige to be able to subdue all the discordant voices in Wakanda.

Ulysses Crowe is nothing less than a great opportunity to come to your door.

"Bring back that unforgivable thief, T'Challa."

The old king stared at his grown son, pressed the other man's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "At that time, you will be crowned king." ”

…………

Border areas.

At night, hundreds of guests gather in the grand manor in the middle of the oasis, illuminated by the sparkling light and the atmosphere of wine and dance.

This is the border area between Wakanda and Sudan, and it is also a gray area that cannot be reached by the light, where the law is useless, and violence and gore are the eternal themes.

The enchanting Black Pearl stood on the auction table, and the chieftain Tuwang and the warlord leader sat below, which could be described as a sea of people and a lot of hustle and bustle.

Precious treasures of great value are lifted from the red cloth and attract everyone's attention like a magnet, the most striking of which is, of course, the expensive metal placed in the container.

"Such a little gadget will make them fight for their heads?"

John leaned back on the sofa in the upper private room, his eyes looking through the one-way glass, looking down at the fierce bidding auction.

"There is too little vibranium circulating in the market every year, and this rare metal, which has a wide range of uses, will naturally be snapped up by large companies and scientific research institutions once it appears...... The sky-high price, which is thousands of times higher than gold, is speculated in this way. ”

Babi wasn't surprised, he had done his homework before and knew what the value of vibranium was.

If it were true that like Ulysses Crowe, Wakanda has an abundance of vibranium veins, I'm afraid the whole world will go crazy about it.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Crowe, we're sure you're safe."

Iceman Babi looked at the nervous smuggler and whispered.

A stiff smile appeared on Ulysses' face, and he could have imagined that the gang's so-called plan was to use themselves to attract the Wakandans, and then escalate into an international dispute to give outsiders a reasonable excuse.

For example, Magneto, as Kenya's diplomatic ambassador, was inexplicably attacked by Wakanda, and the royal orphans in exile naturally formed an excellent reason for going to war.

This practice has always been a characteristic of the United States, which has fought hundreds of wars and military conflicts in its history of just over 200 years, far more frequently than Russia, which is known for its "belligerent" and "fighting nation."

Sometimes, in order to start a war, the bald eagle has no excuse and has to forcibly make one by himself.

For example, in the famous "Texas Incident", in 1835, Mexico's "abolition" policy caused dissatisfaction among domestic Texas slave owners.

So the United States instigated the rebellion of Mexican slave owners, which led to the independence of Texas. Mexico sent troops to suppress the rebellion, which resulted in a conflict with the American forces that came to intervene. The United States used this as an excuse to launch the Mexican-American War.

This war allowed the United States to gain nearly 2.3 million square kilometers of Mexico, and it became a territorial power across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its economy and society also developed on a large scale. Mexico lost nearly 55% of its territory, and since then its vitality has been greatly damaged, and it has completely become a second-rate country in the Americas.

There are also the "Maine Incident", the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident", and even the United States forcibly launched a war bypassing the United Nations on the grounds that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.

More than a decade after the end of the war, the United States has not found strong evidence of weapons of mass destruction "possessed" by Iraq.

The seven-year bloody war caused by laundry detergent is the banter and irony of the world's clumsy excuse for the United States.

"Perhaps from today onwards, the entire African continent will be plunged into turmoil."

John, thinking of the young boss's instructions, couldn't help but observe a second of silence for Wakanda.

For medals and promotions, for the orders of the Ministry of Defense, for the transfer of domestic contradictions...... There are countless reasons for all parties to set their sights on this third world country.
