Chapter 153: Counteroffensive Plan
T'Challa, the prince of Wakanda, the future Black Panther, another superhero.
So far, Zatana, Rick Flleg, the Winter Soldier, Ulysse Scrowe, Wesker and King Ada, plus the current T'Challa, and the man in the white tunic who Rhaegar hasn't met for the time being but is indeed staring at him, there are really enough 'celebrities' in this incident.
And among these celebrities, the highest status is naturally T'Challa, the prince of Wakanda, and he is also the most humble. That's a lot to say.
The clearest thing to understand is that this is a guy with grace.
The sudden appearance of the prince of Wakanda startled Ulysis Skrau. Crow is engaged in arms smuggling in Africa, and he has more or less had a relationship with official Wakanda. His heart is empty. In fact, not to mention those who are far away, whether it is Crow or Rhaegar and Zatana, they are all smuggled into the country, but T'Challa did not threaten and force Rhaega to cooperate with illegal entry like those dignified and resourceless officials, but used a tone like "request".
Such a sincere attitude, coupled with the fact that the goal of both sides is basically the same, which is to prevent Hydra's Wesker from creating a larger scale of chaos in Wakanda by spreading the virus, and force the Wakanda royal family to transfer the troops guarding outside the vibranium mine, so as to seize the vibranium mine's plot, then cooperation is the best plan. After all, Wesker, with an unknown number of zombie teams and a number of Hydra warriors, is on the side of the trend, and if Rhaegar and the royal family of Wakanda can join forces, it will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort. However, there are also details to consider, such as as as being said before, Wesker's goal is not only vibranium, and even vibranium is not his main goal.
"Ladder to the Sun? Are you sure it's really in the hands of our royal family? "When Rhaegar mentions that what Wesker wants most is a plant called the 'Ladder of the Sun', T'Challa frowns and thinks for a while, and finally gives a negative answer. Not to mention that I, as a prince, have never heard of the existence of something with this name, if this plant called the Sun Ladder is really a raw material that can make the virus even more terrifying, our royal family will definitely not collect it. I believe that if this kind of thing is discovered, whether it is my father or me, or my ancestors, they will destroy it as soon as they find it, and they will not let this kind of trouble-causing thing remain in the world. In fact, knowing that the main raw material of this virus is actually extracted from an ordinary plant in our country, I have decided to devote all my efforts to eradicate that plant after this incident! ”
T'Challa was categorical and upright. And he had talked about it to this extent, and although Rhaegar was still a little worried and skeptical, he didn't ask any questions. When T'Challa uttered his 'request', Rhaegar consulted with Zatana and Crow, and finally agreed.
The cooperation proposed by the Wakanda prince is simple. The most fundamental point of this incident - the virus aspect, can only wait for Zatana to analyze the magic applied by the enemy before she can have a chance to crack it, so Zatana needs enough time and enough personal protection - the latter point is strictly requested by Rhaegar. In terms of protection, T'Challa offered to send Zatana to the palace in Wakanda, where there were enough guards to be considered the safest place in all of Wakanda, and T'Challa even promised that he would let the chief of the royal family's guard, a black female warrior who had fought almost all over the palace, take care of Zatana's daily life.
Since T'Challa gave such sincerity, Rhaegar couldn't ask for anything more.
And before Zatana can find a way to crack the virus, it is up to Wesker to be reckless in his strategic goals, and that is left to T'Challa, Rhaegar and Crow. Previously, the Wakanda royal family was too tired to deal with the outbreak of the virus in various parts of the country, and could not allocate too many people to investigate the whole thing, so they only knew everything about the people behind the scenes, but they knew almost only about the people behind the scenes. Now that he has received information from Rhaegar and learned that Hydra is behind it, the Wakanda prince has never liked Hydra's perception, but now he has become even more disgusted. He even said on the spot that he would lead his troops to a decisive battle with Wesker, which made Rhaegar's eyelids jump.
But T'Challa himself immediately reacted: "Forgive me for saying such irresponsible things. My country has always had a bit of a friction with the Hydra-dominated United Nations. Years ago, they proposed to build a Hydra base in my country, and they wanted the support of our royal family, but we refused. Now that I think about it, maybe they had bad intentions and took a fancy to that kind of virus raw material plant. Unfortunately, we were unable to discover their plot, and they forced them to compromise and had to give them a place. And this compromise has led to the current bad consequences. So I'm a little excited, don't be surprised. ”
As he spoke, the Wakanda prince bowed to the three of them.
Zatana immediately responded with a "don't mind", and Ulysse Scrao was about the same. As for Rhaegar , a question came to his mind.
"Prince T'Challa, can you tell me which piece of land you gave to Hydra after your compromise?"
Hearing Rhaegar ask this, T'Challa didn't quite understand what he meant, but replied anyway: "It's in a part of the western part of Wakanda, near Lake Turkana. What's wrong? ”
That place was the small Hydra base that Rhaegar had visited. That's fine, Rhaegar nodded. But then he asked, "Where is the territory that Hydra asked for for the first time before that?" ”
T'Challa was stunned for a moment, remembered something, and then spoke: "It was a few years ago, I can't remember, after all, it wasn't my hand." But I just happened to be more impressed with this. At that time, they asked for a piece of land in the south of our country, not the whole place, and they didn't say which piece of land it was, but only an area. That's about a third of what we gave them later. And I remember because when my father talked about it, he asked me to guess where Hydra would build their base if they got approval, and my answer at the time was that they would build their base in the primeval forest for the sake of secrecy. But we don't have primeval forests in southern Wakanda, and we don't have the option of approaching primeval forests, but there happens to be a swamp......"
"That's it!" Rhaegar shouted.
Rhaeggar's agitation was not without reason. He figured out one thing: Wesker's collection of that kind of ordinary plant in Wakanda to refine the virus would definitely require a large area. Rhaegar had not found any more chambers in the small Hydra base in western Wakanda, near Lake Turkana. From a human point of view, Wesker would not have kept Crowe near his recipe and the production base corresponding to it, knowing that he wanted to steal the recipe for his virus. This means that the production base of the virus is no longer there. So, if Wesker wanted another secret place, what better place than the one he had asked for in the first place? Perhaps, to put it another way, Hydra didn't know that Wakanda had vibranium mines at first, so why did they want to build a base in Wakanda, a country that had no other specialties, no geographical advantages or strategic significance? And what does the piece of land they first look at represent?!
"So, Prince T'Challa, I have an offer." After telling the others about his analysis, Rhaegar said a little excitedly, "As you just said, you lead your troops to fight Wesker's zombie army...... Don't worry, just listen to me, you and your men will just pretend, and the main task is to drag Wesker and attract his attention. And I'll take Crowe to the southern swamp you mentioned, find out his virus production base, destroy it, and see if there is a recipe for the virus or clues to how to crack it! ”
