Chapter 189 Preparing for War
"Fury, I need an explanation for this matter. We have lost four agents for this 084 item, but now we have only got a shelving decision?"
Level 7 Agent Hand asked Nick Fury. Not only did she lose so many of her subordinates in the mission, but she still couldn't even check the other party's intelligence information. This made Victoria Hand very unacceptable. She shouldn't have such a failure on her resume.
"The explanation is that I don't know the truth of this matter. The only thing we know now is that there is a third party that neither SHIELD nor Wakanda knows about making trouble. Agent Hand, go do your own thing."
Nick Fury said this to Victoria Hand, and then he stopped revealing any information.
Although Wakanda gave an explanation, Nick Fury was suspicious of everything. He suspected that a third party was involved, and he also suspected that Wakanda was directing and acting on its own. For this closed technological power, Nick Fury's vigilance has never diminished.
However, the other party's technological level and closed policy are too powerful, even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot infiltrate and collect intelligence. Nick Fury only realized that there is such a country on the African continent when Wakanda took the initiative to contact the outside world.
Not long after Victoria Hand left, Nick Fury received a message from Alexander Pierce, asking him to go to his office.
Pierce is the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now the contact person between the International Security Council Association and S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as the Secretary General of S.H.I.E.L.D., with the same authority as Nick Fury; but he is actually a member of Hydra, and it is Malik who is in charge of planning this action against Wakanda.
Pierce and Malik, one is the Secretary General of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the other is a director of the International Security Council Association. The two of them together are enough to make Nick Fury believe anything they say.
"What is it, Pierce."
Nick Fury came to Pierce's office and asked directly.
Pierce turned on the projector and said to Nick Fury, "Didn't you watch the news? Two fighter planes of the U.S. military crashed for no reason at this location while on patrol. Now the mission leader Borek is ready to track down the whereabouts of the crash..."
"Wakanda, several of Agent Hand's men also had an accident there..." Nick Fury saw the news about the place where the fighter plane crashed, and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately said to Pierce, "Pierce, there is a conspiracy here. I think we can investigate it first."
"It's useless for you to tell me. I want to support your decision, but the U.S. military has already asked the council for intelligence about this place, and the council agreed unanimously."
Pierce shook his head and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless, and then continued to Nick Fury, "I can only help you for two days and give you an investigation result. Otherwise, prepare the intelligence assessment about Wakanda and include the matters of Agent Hand's men."
"Pierce"
"Fury, this is what the board agreed to. It's only two days."
After seeing the expression on Pierce's face, Nick Fury also knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Blake is a well-known tough major general in the US Air Force. He was able to buy two days, which was already a favor to SHIELD. However, Nick Fury had no confidence in finding out the truth of the matter within two days, unless Wakanda was willing to cooperate with SHIELD's investigation.
But from Wakanda's attitude, it can be seen that they can't make such a decision.
This country has not joined any union or community so far, not even the United Nations. Nick Fury knew that these countries headed by the United States would definitely not allow the emergence of countries unknown to them on the earth. If Wakanda was discovered, war would definitely be launched.
But now he can't stop it. In two days, he couldn't even persuade T'Chaka, and the bodies of the agents sent back had turned into a bottle of rotten corpse water, and the two American fighter planes were also destroyed beyond recognition. Everything was erased, and SHIELD couldn't find any clues.
"Sorry, dear, I'm too tired."
Betty's face was full of fatigue and joy. With her ordinary physique, she could still hold on three times at night after a busy day, which was already her limit of energy.
"Betty, I think you can also inject the serum, otherwise you will get sick if you continue like this."
Seeing that Betty was about to close her eyes, Kahn had to let her go, but she really needed to strengthen her body, whether it was to deal with external crises or to meet the physical needs between the beds, Betty needed to strengthen her physique.
The super soldier serum needed to be improved. Betty was already very high, and it would not be good if she became a soldier.
"You can do it, I'm going to sleep first..."
Betty murmured, and then fell asleep immediately.
She was really tired recently. When she was maintaining charity donations in Sokovia, Betty only needed to give orders, and there were assistants and subordinates to help her complete it; but after returning to America, there were a lot of things to do, such as the merger of the Biological Research Center and the Eugene Biological Laboratory, the handover of Umbrella and the military, etc.
It can be said that Laura is in charge of Kahn's money business, and Betty is in charge of Kahn's armed forces and connections. However, it is much better now than before. With the help of Red Queen, Betty is much more relaxed.
Recently, Umbrella has also made many moves. The business that was originally expanding has stopped, and a mercenary team of 300 people has been formed to prepare for the upcoming Wakanda War.
After Kahn and Ross talked in detail, he also decided to join other friends to do his best to promote the war against Wakanda, and if necessary, he would take all strikes except nuclear bombs. Ross needed war credit, so he not only prepared a team of super soldiers, but also prepared to make the soldiers proficient in the new weapons that Kahn would sell to them in a short time, although the delivery would take three months.
Kahn would naturally not miss the first action to plunder Wakanda. If he could break into the country, the first one to enter would definitely eat meat, and the ones behind would only be able to drink soup.
As the fastest growing and most powerful military security company in the United States, Umbrella Corporation is definitely qualified to be hired by the US military, and Kahn and General Ross have agreed that Umbrella will be arranged into his command queue at that time.
As long as Umbrella's people can rush in at the first time, Kahn will have the opportunity to use Red Queen's information data on plundering Wakanda, and at the same time let the super soldiers rob Wakanda's vibranium inventory.
Although Malik and Ross both promised Kahn a share of the vibranium mining, he wanted to get the vibranium accumulated by Wakanda over the years, which is definitely not a small amount.
Soon, the U.S. Army got the intelligence assessment about Wakanda from SHIELD. Although Nick Fury slightly tampered with the intelligence, he gave Wakanda's attitude assessment a friendly level within his authority.
However, the military generals did not recognize Nick Fury's assessment at all. SHIELD agents died in the hands of the "other party". In this way, they could still give friendly and evaluated suggestions. The director of SHIELD could also eat shit. They would definitely recommend Congress to cut funding for the International Security Council Association.
The two proposals, "Reassessment of Wakanda's Military Threat and International Status" and "Wakanda's Possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorist Actions", have been placed on the desk of the President of the White House. At the same time, some members of Congress have submitted this to Congress.
As long as the President and Congress both pass this reassessment, it can be basically determined that the United States will conduct "assessment and control" on Wakanda.
Before the decision was made, the FBI and CIA had received orders to investigate Wakanda. The President could not believe the military's words completely. He still wanted his own intelligence system to investigate the matter.
If a war breaks out, the United States will most likely drag in other countries, because Wakanda is not Afghanistan, Syria and other countries. Their technological level is much higher than that of the United States. Whether it is military equipment or other aspects, they are far superior to the current military level of the United States.
The only weakness is that the country is small and the population
is small. Wakanda can rely on high technology to deal with the United States, but it can never deal with the joint military forces of developed countries on the earth. However, when the war is launched against Wakanda, it may take at least a year to prepare, but the preheating of the war has gradually been aroused; Red Queen has already exerted its strength on the Internet, and many people have participated in the discussion of Wakanda's threat to the world and its connection with terrorism.
There are many military organizations that pursue terrorism on the African continent. At least with a little guidance, they can be linked to Wakanda. After all, they are all black people, and ordinary people can't tell them apart.
Biological Research Center.
This place has been expanded a lot, and five underground floors are being built. There are also 85 security personnel. The security system is directly controlled by Red Queen. Once an invasion occurs, all entrances and exits will be immediately blocked, and even the ventilation ducts will be equipped with anti-enemy equipment. If someone intends to sneak in from here, they will only become minced meat in the end.
After Pietro and Wanda accepted Kahn's invitation, they were arranged near Kahn Manor in Brooklyn. Now they only need to come to the Biological Research Center every day for blood tests so that the people here can thoroughly study their abilities.
Kahn knew that Wanda's ability came from chaos magic, but it was worth studying where Pietro's ability came from. It would be a good thing if it could be developed. Moreover, there was more than one speedster on Earth, and the speedster of the Eternals was probably faster than Pietro.
When Kahn was checking the progress here, Wanda and Pietro had just finished a round of blood tests. After seeing Kahn, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Pent, when can we..."
"Revenge? Anytime."
Kahn saw that an interview with Tony Stark was being played on the projection screen in the house, and guessed that the Maximoff brothers and sisters were a little impatient.
"I have prepared a whole team of lawyers, action planning experts, and all the prisons in New York State. There is even a general who is willing to guarantee you, provided that you fail and are arrested, and Tony Stark is not dead.
In this way, whether you succeed in revenge or fail and are arrested, you don't have to worry, unless you are defeated by Tony Stark's bodyguards during the action.
If you decide to wait until your abilities are stronger before taking revenge, I will also provide everything you want, such as a villa, a yacht, or your plan to go to school. In short, you can do whatever you want, and no one will interfere with your ideas, provided that you cooperate with their research."
Kahn's words made Wanda and Pietro stunned. They didn't expect this to happen. It sounded like the other party had no intention of taking revenge on Stark for them, but to help them take revenge on Stark.
But it was also good. Pietro and Wanda decided to take revenge by themselves from the beginning. Living with a missile that could explode at any time for ten days, that kind of fear, no one could imagine.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Pente."
"Nothing, the person following you is Laura's assistant, she will meet all your requests that Pente Group can do, just tell her if you need anything."
Kahn said to the two with a smile, and then prepared to check the progress of the research.
