Chapter 242 Final Preparations: The King Refuses
The superheroes of the Avengers are working together, and the crisis acting plan is constantly improving. In the end, there is only one question left, that is, where should the stage for this acting be placed?
Iron Man suggested: "It must be in New York. Our purpose of doing this is to warn all mankind. The more lively the better, of course. Is there any place more suitable than New York?"
The little spider silently complained: "Mr. Stark is right. I don't know if you have noticed it. In many movies, once the earth is invaded by alien civilization, New York is often chosen - it's like New York has become the world. The center of the world."
The Chitauri invaded Earth before and also chose New York, an international metropolis.
Others also believe that it is very appropriate to set the stage in New York. This city is naturally under the spotlight, and any disturbance will soon radiate to the whole world.
The only thing you need to worry about is that New York City has a large population. It would be bad if some small accident happened during the exercise and innocent people were accidentally injured.
Bruce Wayne said: "I have considered this. This kind of crisis rehearsal must be realistic, otherwise it will not have a warning effect, but accidents are also easy to happen. There are too many people in New York.
Therefore, I wanted to set the stage in Wakanda. The empty African plains are perfect as a battlefield. "
"Wakanda?"
Natasha shook her head: "I don't recommend rehearsing there. The King of Wakanda doesn't have any friendship with us, because what happened before probably doesn't have a good impression on us."
The American team agreed with Bruce Wayne's suggestion: "Bruce is right, we are just a crisis rehearsal. If we accidentally injure people, it will be counterproductive."
Bruce Wayne continued: "I will try my best to convince the king of Wakanda that Wakanda has high-tech and vibranium, and they can be of great help when fighting Thanos in the future!"
He is thinking more long-term and uses this crisis preview to allow the reclusive Wakanda to enter into an in-depth cooperative relationship with the Avengers, which will naturally add another layer of bargaining chip to overcome the Thanos crisis in the future.
The Avengers were convinced by Batman, but the task of negotiating with the King of Wakanda fell on Bruce Wayne.
Black Widow repeatedly reminded him that the King of Wakanda was not so easy to convince.
In this regard, Batman is very confident: "He will agree because he is a responsible king."
Next, the Avengers members began to prepare for the exercise, and Bruce Wayne went to find the King of Wakanda. Through Natasha, he first contacted the Wakanda Prince T'Challa, and then made an appointment with Wakanda. Meeting with King T'Chaka of Kandar.
When the two parties met, King T'Chaka of Wakanda was surprised: "I thought it would be Captain America or Iron Man coming to me. Mr. Wayne, are you a new member of the Avengers after the reorganization?"
Bruce Wayne didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Hello, before answering this question, please watch a video, okay?"
He held out a tablet and handed it to T'Challa.
The two father and son opened the video out of curiosity, and saw a future scene taken from a quiz game. The alien army led by Thanos invaded Wakanda like a wave, and the hideous and terrifying monsters could not be seen at a glance!
"This is……"
The father and son both frowned, and their faces became serious.
Bruce Wayne gestured to them to watch the video before discussing other issues.
The video is not long, but the amount of information revealed is very large. In the picture, you can see the soldiers of Wakanda desperately defending their homeland, and the superheroes of the Avengers also came to help.
But even so, they struggled to resist under the massive alien army.
T'Challa frowned and asked, "Where did this video come from? When did it happen?"
The two of them, father and son, immediately saw the authenticity of the video and it was definitely not synthesized through technology.
Because Wakanda had always been sheltered from the outside world before this, few outsiders knew that there was a country that led the world in technology on the backward and poor African continent.
Bruce Wayne did not give in and told the truth bluntly: "This is what will happen in the near future. The overlord of the universe, Thanos, is looking for the Infinity Stones everywhere, trying to destroy half of all life in the universe.
The brave Wakandan warriors fought tooth and nail against Thanos' alien army to guard the last Infinity Stone, but unfortunately, Thanos succeeded in the end. "
He introduced the future related to Thanos in a few words, and then slowly elaborated on his crisis preview plan, hoping to get help from Wakanda and taking this opportunity to let Wakanda cooperate and unite with the Avengers. Unite and fight together against the coming crisis!
In response to his request for help, Prince T'Challa moved his mouth, as if he wanted to agree, but after glancing at his father who looked serious, he remained silent.
After King T'Chaka thought for a while, he shook his head and said: "Sorry, Mr. Wayne, we in Wakanda may not be able to help you in this matter. I am very grateful to you for providing this video, and I also agree with Wayne. Part of your suggestion sir.
Yes, we will cooperate with the Avengers to face crises together, but this does not include this so-called crisis preview. "
T'Chaka already believed in what Batman said about the future, but was not too keen on the crisis drill plan proposed by Bruce Wayne and lacked trust.
The reason why the Avengers trust Batman so much is that they regard him as their own, after all, they have Captain America and Iron Man to guarantee him.
But the King of Wakanda is different. He certainly won't trust Bruce Wayne completely and unreservedly just based on this one-sided statement.
What if this so-called crisis exercise turns into a real one? Wouldn't it harm the citizens and soldiers of Wakanda?
Even if this possibility is not high, as long as there is a slight possibility, T'Chaka will not agree, because it is irresponsible to his country and people.
Moreover, because a citizen of Wakanda was killed by the superheroes of the Avengers before, although it was manslaughter, it also made T'Chaka lack goodwill towards these reckless superheroes.
For the sake of the overall situation, in the face of the ultimate threat of Thanos, he can choose to put aside past grudges and cooperate deeply with the Avengers, but it does not mean that he will fully cooperate with the actions of the Avengers.
King T'Chaka said that he could provide some help for Bruce Wayne's crisis rehearsal, but the venue and stage could not be built in Wakanda.
