After John and Crowe’s covert operations in Africa, a week later, the White House Security Conference was reconvened, but the content of this meeting was no longer aimed at the alien Asgardians, but at the human nation on the same planet—-** and recently submitted a review of the status of the | rights of the Wakanda, and it is said that a good enlightened duke in the country was pressured from above to seek assistance from the international community, hoping to use external forces to curb the increasingly brutal rule of this royal family over innocent people.

No one cares about the specifics of the report, but because the country has extremely valuable mineral resources, economic and military value is incomparable, once the news was revealed, representatives from all walks of life attended and participated, and Ross, who has been promoting the plan behind the scenes, is no exception.

On the day of the meeting, the East Room of the White House, which can |accommodate three hundred guests, was filled with a group of people representing the most senior floors of the entire country, and through the sturdy and heavy walnut door, the guards outside could faintly hear the heated conversation in the hall|, as if the voice was louder in the competition, and from time to time an excited voice sounded inside, and soon it was replaced by another voice.

“Wakanda is a very special African country, and it is worth noting that its entire history has never been conquered by foreign enemies.” Everett, an expert on Africa, stood in the middle of the hall and pointed to a few maps to explain the crowd, but the crowd below did not care about the history of the country, generals and bureaucrats kept exchanging ears, emitting an endless buzz like nasty flies, and the representatives from all walks of life at the back invited table did not care, they only watched the valuation report on the vibranium deposit in their hands, looking for possible interests from their own perspectives.

“…… Before you make a decision, I ask you to consider the unique heritage of the region, the British, the French, the Belgians… Or any number of Christians and Arab invaders who have never defeated the Wakanda on the battlefield, who have a martial tradition, a bit like Yue Nan or Japan, and who have a well-equipped modern army whose strength cannot be underestimated…”

Everett raised his voice in vain amid the noise, trying to prove that Wakanda was different from other African countries, but his words were quickly interrupted by General Thaddeus Ross, who was in the audience representing the army.

“Tell me the point, Mr. Advisor, do they have a relationship with the Russians or Magneto’s Latavinia?” In the hot weather, the general unbuttoned the two buttons on the neckline of his military uniform and sat far away in the military representative seat and shouted at the poor adviser.

“…… They are not allied with any countries, including the nearby Union of African States and OPEC, although geologists estimate that they may have large oil resources. Faced with the aggressive general, Everett’s adviser could only answer honestly.

Although the value of oil was gradually declining at this time, this answer still surprised many representatives related to the energy industry.

“To mobilize public opinion…”

“Bigger than all of Nigeria…”

“Think about it, so much money lying there…”

Greed was like a |blazing torch that immediately ignited human ambition, and various voices sounded inside the hall.

Faced with such an isolated kingdom of helplessness—- the force is not strong enough, but it is sitting on a huge amount of wealth, and there is no internal stability, which can provide sufficient excuses for foreign interventionists—- Everett really can’t think of any other force to stop the ranks in this room from resisting greed | greed and not starting the war machine.

Perhaps the only resistance at this time is Congress, the consortium controls the entire country, but it is inevitable that there will be members of parliament to stand up and resist in order to win votes, but that may not be effective, the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, but if the president really makes up his mind, there will always be a way to bypass Congress to launch military action, in fact, since the end of the war, the United States has never officially declared war on foreign countries, but the war between North Korea, Yue South, Yirak and Afghanistan still happened, the War Powers Act of 1973 The President was allowed to conduct military activities for sixty days without the consent of Congress, and these military operations were the result of the Act.

Just as he thought, the big men of the Security Council only weighed their interests, the vice president, the secretary of national arms, the minister of finance, and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff gathered around the president and whispered, and the excited generals could not even wait for the head boss to make up his mind and directly began to discuss the actual combat plan, as if they had obtained authorization in advance to send troops into the | Wakanda at any time.

General Thaddeus stood up and waved his arms vigorously, shouting at the crowd with | passion.

“We don’t need to worry about the powerful warriors of Wakanda, Asgard is even stronger, Magneto and Speed still dare to storm their lair, compared to mutants, will the army of 1.4 million United States fear the barbarians of Wakanda, don’t forget my Thunder Commando, the warriors are willing to serve the country at any time!”

“The earth is our home field, we have the obligation to maintain the security and stability of the entire world, defeat Wakanda as soon as possible, develop rich vibranium resources, the national economy and military technology can be beneficially supplemented, give up fighting, we can only watch our backyard become increasingly chaotic, the future battle plan against the Asgardians may also be affected, now is the time to judge who is the real man, behind us is the whole earth, to be free, must not give in to evil!”

He unabashedly revealed his covetousness for Wakanda, which was very much in line with the wishes of the representatives of the various consortiums in the observation table, and many people also stood up and shouted, and the atmosphere quickly climbed to a new |.

In the heat, a sharp gaze ke|enly noticed that the general and Ross glanced at each other from a distance, and the two seemed to have some kind of hidden understanding, the owner of that line of sight roamed them for several weeks, and then set his eyes on the congressional bench, and under the silent urging of this gaze, Congressman Stern, the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, reluctantly interrupted Thaddeus’s speech.

“General, I remember that the Thunder Commando has been working with the Cutting-Edge Lab’s subordinate enterprises, does this mean that in your plan, security companies like Watchman will also become an indispensable part of military operations?”

The senator’s spearhead was not directed at the general, but quietly on Ross and the cutting-edge laboratory.

Security companies taking on defense orders is not new, but it is not a good thing for a reputable research institution like a cutting-edge laboratory to be too involved in overseas military operations, which will give the impression of weaponization of products and negatively affect the reputation of laboratories.

So before the general could answer, Ross intercepted the senator’s malicious question.

“As a research-oriented organization dedicated to advanced science and technology, our philosophy has always been peaceful development, Watchman is just an accidental product of the birth of a special period, and now that all the shares in my name have been transferred to Mr. Coin Marco, the senator can directly consult Chairman Marco’s opinion.”

His hand pointed to the side, and the triumphant red tank appeared in everyone’s sight.

At this time, the red tank converged his strength and became close to ordinary people, he was wearing a formal suit, looking like a basketball player sitting next to a water cooler, and no one could recognize this as the super strong man who used to fight the Hulk in Manhattan.

Although Red Tank has a rough personality, he is definitely not a fool, he has been instructed by Ross in advance, and naturally knows what to say at this time.

“The Watchmen’s decision is not to participate in the war, but we are willing to provide quality security services for our citizens who are in danger| and of course we do not exclude active duty soldiers.”

Red Tank’s roaring voice echoed above the hall, and Senator Stern couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

Now who does not know that Marco is Ross’s cousin, he means Ross, and what is the difference between this statement and direct participation in the war?

But in the literal sense of the word, the Watchmen still did not send employees into battle, and the cutting-edge laboratories after the divestment of the relationship had even less reason to accept moral condemnation.

Seeing that the other party pushed the responsibility cleanly, the senator was also a little embarrassed for a while, but the gaze in the distance always stared at him coldly, so that he had to continue to find excuses.

Just when the senator wanted to stir up the topic again, the president, surrounded by staff, finally made the final decision.

This year’s forty-ninth president Ya| was | young and strong, as the youngest president in the past hundred years, he was originally in the most proud stage of his life, but he had his own thoughts, that is, nothing had been achieved in the two years since he took office, the domestic economy had not improved, international affairs were frequently setback, and dealing with mutants did not have the expected effect, but gave birth to a mutant country like Latvia; Wanting to call on the world to sanction Magneto’s evil organization, world leaders come together, only to attract alien Asgardian invaders.

Now as far as | know about | Dang, the domestic media has given himself the nickname “surfer”, which of course is not out of flattery, but mocks him for always challenging the huge waves, but every time without exception, he falls off the waves and falls decently.

This nickname has always been a headache for His Excellency the President, but there is no way to wash away the shame, Magneto and the Asgardians are not easy to deal with, so he can only endure for the time being.

Fortunately, Wakanda gave him a chance, and after the analysis of his staff, the president suddenly found that his career was facing a turnaround, and if he could successfully solve this closed and conservative country, perhaps his reputation would have a huge | transformation, and at the same time he could still get the strong support of the consortium, and he finally made the decision to declare a military strike against the Wakanda royal family until freedom came to the country.

“You have sixty days to win, General, don’t let me down like Stryker.” As he passed Thaddeus, the president whispered orders.

As the president and the others left, the distant line of sight slowly roamed the hall for a week, and then quietly withdrew.

A one-eyed black man got up from his seat and left the White House with the crowd.
