Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 232 The Pearl of the East African Prairie
Through the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jack quickly contacted Wakanda's representative to the United Nations, Mugur.

After another two days of negotiations, Wakanda finally agreed to Jack forming an unofficial delegation to visit Wakanda.

After getting the reply, Jack returned to New York, and he immediately found Hill. After handing over the daily work of the Skyhammer Bureau to Hill, Jack and his party immediately took the Blackbird fighter to Wakanda.

At the same time, Crowe and others have also arrived near the Wakanda border.

……

In the impression of most people in the world, Africa is a poor and destitute country, where there are deserts everywhere, extreme lack of water, and people live in dire straits...

Needless to say, this is prejudice.

In fact, the African landmass is not all desert.

There are two main deserts in Africa: one is the Sahara Desert in the north, which is the largest desert in the world; the other is the Namib Desert in the south, which is relatively small.

The other parts are dominated by grasslands and rainforests.

East Africa, where Wakanda is located, is dominated by grasslands. In addition, there are large forests distributed in the central area of ​​Wakanda, with a forest coverage rate of more than 60.00%...

Therefore, there are many tree species in Wakanda, among which blood sandalwood is a relatively famous tree.

In the past few decades, Wakanda has given the world the impression that it is an agricultural country. The United Nations even assessed Wakanda's economic level as "extremely poor", calling it the poorest country in the world.

But in fact, all this is just an illusion deliberately created by Wakanda.

In the 20th century, Wakanda refused any outsiders to enter its land.

However, with the economic globalization of the new century, Wakanda finally opened its own country, but at present, its degree of openness is very limited.

Of course, because of long-standing prejudice and contempt, most countries in the world have little interest in Wakanda, a small African country.

After all, there is neither oil nor diamonds there!
Naturally, the two sides can live in peace.

Jack and his group can be said to be the first white group to enter Wakanda for the establishment of diplomatic relations in hundreds of years.

When Jack was the first to get out of the Blackbird, he was shocked by the magnificent sight unique to Africa...

Regardless of past and present lives, this is the first time Jack has come to Africa. Although he has made sufficient preparations, he still couldn't help feeling excited when he saw the prairie.
At this moment, all the troubles seem to disappear in the vast space.

The ones who were as shocked as him were Elizabeth and Shimmer who accompanied him.

In view of the fact that there is not much danger in this trip, Jack came to Wakanda with his girlfriend for selfish purposes.

Because Wakanda does not have an airport, the Blackbird fighters landed on a flat grass.

Not far from where the plane landed, Wakanda people are already lining up to welcome...

They are all dressed in traditional cloth robes, and their expressions are very calm.

At the front of the welcome line stood a middle-aged black man in a blue robe.

Paladin who came with Jack then introduced softly:

"He is Wachabi, the leader of the frontier tribe."

Jack nodded, and then quickly walked down the gangway, followed by Paladin and Sandman.

After the three of them, Blink pulled Elizabeth excitedly to look at the magnificent scenery of Africa.

Jack came to Wachab soon, and he introduced himself with a smile:
"Hi, I'm Jack Murdoch, Chargé d'Affaires of the United States in Wakanda."

Wachabi didn't have a good impression of outsiders. If it wasn't for the king's order, he would never come to welcome Jack and the others.

So facing Jack's self-introduction, Wachabi just nodded lightly, and politely replied:
"I am Vachabi, the king is waiting for you."

Wachabi's indifference did not hit Jack. In fact, he had already prepared his mind before coming to Wakanda.

In the past hundreds of years, the destruction of Africa by the Western world has never stopped, and this land has no peace for a moment.

Although Wakanda has developed technology beyond the world with the help of vibration gold, they are also black after all, and they will also sympathize with their suffering compatriots.

Therefore, there are many people in Wakanda who are extremely hostile to the Western world. If the king gives an order, they certainly don't mind following the king to go to war with the Western world!
Vachabi is probably one of the representatives!

Riding on the horses provided by the border tribes, it took Jack and others a lot of time to come to a Wakanda settlement.

This should be a small tribe, with railings erected around it to defend against wild animals, and inside are dozens of thatched huts.

Outside the railing, King T'Chaka of Wakanda is already waiting there with his wife Ramanda.

After a while of diplomatic etiquette and self-introduction, T'Chaka led Jack to a thatched loess hut. The former waved everyone away, apparently intending to talk to Jack alone.

This is exactly what Jack meant.

There was no electricity in the thatched hut, and under the dim kerosene lamp, Tchaka invited Jack to sit cross-legged on the thatched futon, and then poured tea for Jack.

Holding the pottery teacup, the corners of Jack's eyes couldn't help twitching.

The Wakanda people are really too cautious. They obviously have the strongest technology on the earth, but they dress themselves up like primitive people who drink blood. This level of professionalism is too much.

T'Chaka couldn't hear Jack's voice, and he didn't know that Jack would know so much about Wakanda.

He has been trying to figure out Jack's intentions through Jack's expression, but T'Chaka found nothing from entering the door to sitting down, so he went straight to the point:
"Director Murdoch, Wakanda is a small country. I don't understand why a busy person like you came to my country at this time."

Although his identity was revealed by the other party at the beginning, Jack didn't panic at all.

Although Wakanda has maintained a closed state for a long time, this does not mean that the Wakanda royal family knows nothing about the outside world.

The fact is just the opposite. In order to protect its own safety, Wakanda has sent a large number of spies to the outside world, and all members of the royal family have experience studying abroad.

Calculating the time, the future Black Panther Techara should be studying at Oxford University at this moment.

So T'Chaka knows Jack's true identity, which is not surprising.

But how to answer the king's first question made Jack have a hard time.

Jack's trip was for an alliance, so he hoped that he could leave a good impression on T'Chaka. After thinking for a while, he replied politely:

"Your Majesty the King, the Hammer Bureau has detected a group of mercenaries intending to harm your country. The main purpose of my trip is to establish diplomatic relations with Wakanda, and the second is to stop the actions of this group of mercenaries."

Jack can be said to be the king of bombs as soon as he speaks, directly pushing Crowe to the forefront.

But T'Chaka didn't seem to buy it. He drooped his eyes and replied unhurriedly:

"Wakanda is a poor country, and I don't understand what's going on here that attracts that group of mercenaries."

Obviously, His Majesty the King is planning to play dead to the end.

In this regard, Jack is not anxious.

T'Chaka is an excellent king, full of knowledge and vision!
Although in the closed environment of Wakanda, T'Chaka has keenly seen the changes in the world, so he has been trying to promote the intersection of Wakanda and the world.

In recent years, T'Chaka has visited many neighboring countries as a king, with the purpose of deciphering the old and conservative hermit ideas of the people of the country.

This is why he knew that Jack was a spy leader, but he still allowed Jack to set foot in Wakanda.

And Jack knew all about it, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Just listen to Jack slowly replying:

"Your Majesty, I haven't found out the purpose of Crowe and others yet, but I still suggest that Wakanda strengthen its vigilance. Of course, if Wakanda allows, I can send my subordinates to help Wakanda face this crisis."

T'Chaka was relieved by Jack's words. The latter was not worried about such trash as Crowe. What he was worried about was that Zhenjin's news had been detected by the Skyhammer Bureau.

So far, it appears that the worst is not on the horizon.

Of course, this could also be Jack's disguise.

"Thank you for your kindness. Although Wakanda is poor, we can protect our own safety."

Jack shrugged, not caring about the king's refusal, he smiled and said:
"I believe Wakanda can do it. However, regarding the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries, I don't know what His Majesty's reply is..."

"Personally, I am willing to establish diplomatic relations with the United States, but I need time to convince the Presbyterian Church."

This was the intended meaning, and Jack never thought that the first conversation would yield the desired result.

And he continued:
"Your Majesty, I am very curious about Africa, and I am fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Wakanda. I hope you will allow me to wait for your reply here."

After thinking for a while, T'Chaka replied: "I allow you to stay in Wakanda until I give you an answer. But you must travel accompanied by border tribe fighters, and it is best not to go too far, Wakanda There are many ferocious beasts in the territory of Da.”

Jack nodded, and after some pleasantries, he got up and left.

The business has already started, and the rest should be to accompany Elizabeth to visit the beautiful scenery and wait for the good news.

Shortly after Jack left, Wachabi got into the thatched hut, and he asked bluntly:
"What purpose do the Americans have?"

T'Chaka smiled and said bluntly: "They want to establish diplomatic relations with us."

Wachabi said decisively: "They must have bad intentions!"

T'Chaka nodded in agreement, and then said:

"I suspect that Zhenjin's news has leaked out. Jack Murdoch just told me that a group of mercenaries are coming towards us..."

T'Chaka didn't doubt the authenticity of Jack's news, because it was completely unnecessary.

And Wachabi replied in a deep voice at this time:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the border tribes will definitely protect the safety of Wakanda."

T'Chaka and Wachabi are good friends who grew up together. He never doubted the latter's determination to defend Wakanda, but there is only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to defend against a thief!
Although Wakanda's hidden technological power is amazing, it is a small country after all, and its population has never been large. Relying solely on border tribes, it is undoubtedly very difficult to defend the long border.

What's more, T'Chaka still has a worry hidden in his heart...

For a long time, Wakanda has paid great attention to the confidentiality of its vibration gold.

And the news about Zhenjin will not spread for no reason... unless there are traitors in Wakanda!
In this regard, T'Chaka already has someone to suspect.

After handing over the reception work of Jack and his party to Wachabi, T'Chaka quickly rushed to the River Tribe.

In fact, although T'Chaka is the king of Wakanda, the territory is divided into five tribes, namely the Border Tribe, the River Tribe, the Merchant Tribe, the Mountain Mine Tribe, and the Jabari Tribe.

In ancient times, T'Chaka's ancestors discovered vibrating gold and heart-shaped grass. With the help of these two fetishes, the first Black Panther defeated the five major tribes and became the king of Wakanda. However, the leader of the Jabari tribe refused to accept the rule of the first Black Panther and entered up the snow mountain.

The remaining four tribes performed their duties, and together with the first Black Panther, formed the Kingdom of Wakanda.

Due to the long-standing tradition, the five tribes are highly autonomous, and from the point of view of the political system, they are somewhat similar to the United States!
Among the five tribes, the river tribes live by the water, show themselves as fishermen and farmers, guard the longest river in Wakanda, the Armas River, and they are very loyal to the successive kings of Wakanda.

Therefore, successive kings also handed over Price, the only intelligence organization in the kingdom, to the River Tribe.

The purpose of T'Chaka's trip is to hope that the River Tribe can send a top spy to Oakland, America, to go to his younger brother Nizhub.

The River Tribe faithfully carried out the king's orders.

And T'Chaka returned to Bernin Zana, the capital of Wakanda, full of thoughts.

This is a city full of technology and is the real core of Wakanda.

It is deep in the mountains, and the periphery is covered by the holographic simulation mirror image projected by vibrating gold energy,

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary big forest, but inside it is the city with the highest technological content in the Marvel world.

The suspension train, which is only in the research and development stage outside, has become popular here.

T'Chaka went straight to the vibration gold laboratory in the palace.

The head of the laboratory, Gao Geji, and T'Chaka's daughter Shu Rui were quickly summoned to him.

"There is a group of mercenaries planning to enter Wakanda. Although their purpose cannot be determined, it is very likely that they are here for Zhenjin. I need you to activate the highest defense level immediately and find their traces as quickly as possible."

Su Rui is only 15 years old at this time, but she has already shown extraordinary scientific talent.

From her body, there is also a characteristic that geniuses usually don't need too much teaching.

Despite being in the isolated Wakanda, the future Shuri has become a scientist comparable to Tony Stark.

However, Ren Surui is so talented, she is still a girl with a detached personality at this time, facing her father, it is difficult for her to have the same sense of awe as other people,
"Father, we can actually establish a complete monitoring system on the border. Believe me, this is not a difficult task."

T'Chaka has a headache for his gifted daughter...

Of course he knows the benefits of establishing a surveillance system, but that would also expose Wakanda's uniqueness.

A country that is poor and backward in the eyes of the world suddenly erects technological monitoring equipment on the border, which will arouse the suspicion of the world.

But T'Chaka couldn't tell his daughter about his worries. He even affirmed that Su Rui would never be persuaded by this reason, so he could only show the majesty of his father and king, and ordered:

"Follow the order I just ordered!"

Su Rui still wanted to talk, but Gao Geji pulled him away.

At this time, T'Chaka said again:

"Notify T'Challa to return to Wakanda immediately."

This order caused Su Rui to cheer.

And T'Chaka could only shake his head helplessly. His daughter really didn't look like a princess. Fortunately, T'Chaka had an excellent prince!

Despite having made a lot of preparations, T'Chaka was still very uneasy.

For this, he must recall his son.

Wakanda's vibranium technology is of course unparalleled, but it has always been the Black Panther that guards Wakanda's safety!
And T'Challa is the strongest Black Panther.
