Rise of an Empire

“The problem is a bit tricky”

Howard sat opposite Conrad, his face unusually serious.

He had carefully studied the video data brought back by Conrad for several days, and by the way, he had been analyzing the energy weapons in the laboratory for more than two months.

Because he had been in the laboratory for a long time, Howard now looked very haggard, and the dark circles in his eyes were so heavy that they were frightening.

In the original world line, Howard is already successful and famous, and there is almost nothing worth studying, so this old boy has begun to enjoy his leisurely old age.

After all, he is almost sixty years old and can indeed be regarded as an old man.

But now, because Conrad always comes up with some black technology products, Howard's scientific research spirit has emerged again.

For Howard, who considers himself the smartest man in the world, nothing excites him more than staying in the laboratory to study the latest technology.

He even left all matters concerning SHIELD to Peggy Carter. It was said that the old lady was very dissatisfied with Howard's way of letting go of the boss.

"How to say"

The Duke took a leisurely sip of tea and then asked slowly.

"Wakanda's military strength is much stronger than I originally thought. The technology they master is simply not something that can be born on earth."

Howard has spent his whole life studying alien technology and myths and legends, so he has the best say in these things.

Although Atlantis's technology tree was crooked, he could tell at a glance that its technology was actually based on the Earth.

But Wakanda's technology tree is obviously inherited from some strange alien civilization.

"My original plan was to gather all the strength in my hands, plus your help, to completely capture Wakanda, but now it seems that it is a bit difficult."

The nature of capital is greedy. Faced with the temptation of a whole vein of vibranium, even a noble person will become barbaric, not to mention that Howard is not a good person in the first place.

Why does the United States provoke various wars in the Middle East when it has nothing to do? Isn’t it just for the little oil in the field?

The value of vibranium is thousands of times that of oil. For a whole vibranium mine, even a world war is worth it.

"Can't you bear the strength of the two of us?" His Excellency the Duke asked, pinching his chin with interest.

"If you can't eat it, unless you are willing to expose all your hidden power, then maybe you still have a chance." Howard suddenly looked at Conrad and sneered.

Although the two of them have put their own power on the table, only they really know how much backhand they have hidden.

It is impossible for any alliance to be honest. If you spend all your capital, God knows whether you will be taken advantage of by the other party in the end.

"Why didn't you tell me how much you were hiding?" Conrad also looked at Howard with a smile, and this old boy has not confessed to him until now.

Not to mention other things, the other party has never mentioned the Cosmic Rubik's Cube at all until now, and I don't know if it is hidden in that corner by him.

Although he would definitely be able to find his answer by asking Frost to search through the other person's brain, he thought that the extremely lazy guy would never agree to his request.

After all, for brain mutants, the smarter the person, the harder it is to turn his brain around. With Howard's IQ, Frost would probably be exhausted half to death if he wanted to find something in his brain.

The two foxes looked at each other and laughed. Neither of them was willing to reveal all their powers. Simply relying on the strength currently on the table, they were no match for Wakanda.

This episode quickly dissipated. Both Conrad and Howard knew that the other party was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if they were cooperating, they would guard each other a little on key issues. This is completely understandable.

Besides, with their status, there is no way that they would fall out over this matter.

Don’t you know who you are? If you were an honest person, you would have been eaten alive by others, and you would still be able to reach this level.

"Now, we can only take the second plan." After staring for a few minutes, Conrad said slowly.

It's not impossible to fight for Wakanda, but if you do that, your strength will be greatly damaged, and the little wealth you just saved will probably be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

And what's even more worrying is that if it makes too much noise, it's impossible to hide it.

When the time comes, don’t just try your best to swallow Wakanda, but in the end you end up making wedding clothes for others, then the gain will really outweigh the loss.

After all, Wakanda is not Atlantis, and it can be photographed by satellites and reconnaissance planes.

Besides, with nearly one million residents in Wakanda, it is impossible to guarantee that no information will be leaked at all.

"The second plan, then the benefits we get are too few." Howard's mouth twitched unnaturally. If you can eat alone, who wants to eat from a big pot?

"Then send out all your men. You want to reap the benefits but are afraid of getting your shoes wet. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" The Duke said angrily to him.

"Okay, let's do the second set. Do you have any suitable candidates?" Howard rubbed his temples helplessly and reluctantly accepted Conrad's proposal.

Although the second plan will greatly reduce the benefits he gets, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, all he needs is a large amount of vibranium for research. Howard is not very interested in monopolizing this super metal.

He is already the richest man in the world, money means little to him

"I have a super good candidate" Conrad couldn't help but smile.

Njobu is in a very bad mood at the moment

He has been in New York for a month. This city, known as the most prosperous city in the world, is really unfriendly to black people.

So-called racial discrimination is everywhere. Even though the so-called affirmative action has been introduced for more than ten years, the effect is not good.

Black people still live at the bottom of society and do not receive much formal education. They usually run out to join society when they are teenagers.

For the two million black people living in New York, their lives are doomed at birth.

She has lived by cheating and kidnapping since she was a child. She started having children when she was twelve or thirteen years old, and then she made a living by selling drugs and being involved in the underworld.

Although this lifestyle is mostly caused by the black people themselves, in Njob's view, this is not the case at all.
