Storm Shadow, meanwhile, was gently wiping the adamantium katana in his hand with a piece of white cloth.
“This time, Cobra Commander didn't give precise information. He just told us to gather in Washington!” “I think, in Washington right now, besides the King of Wakanda who is currently making waves, what other target would require us to mobilize so much manpower?”
“Let's hope so! The Boss's order to me is to cooperate with you in assassinating the King of Wakanda, and while we're at it, help you take over Cobra!” Kane said in a deep voice.
“I'll handle my own matters!” Storm Shadow said. After a backhand swing of his blade, he sheathed the adamantium katana he had wiped several times.
Kane loaded bullets one by one into the cylinder of his large-caliber revolver, saying nothing.
Just then, the sound of car tires rubbing against the Ground came from outside the Yard.
The group of red-clothed Ninja all gripped their knife hilts and looked outside wary.
“Friendlies!”
Storm Shadow looked at the line of seven stretched black Lincoln cars parked outside and signaled to the Ninja in the Yard.
From each car, three to five tall men wearing black suits and neat ties stepped out.
The car door of the middle Lincoln car opened, and a man wearing black leather clothing, heavily wrapped up, and wearing a silver-white facemask stepped out.
“That is Cobra Commander!”
Storm Shadow whispered to Kane.
Kane flipped the revolver in his hand and said in a muffled voice, “I'll take him out right now!”
Seeing that Kane didn't seem to be joking, Storm Shadow quickly stopped him:
“The Boss is interested in one of his research projects. He can't die yet!”
Hearing Storm Shadow's words, Kane finally frowned and put away his handgun.
Storm Shadow jumped off the roof and, taking Kane and a few red-clothed Ninja, went out to greet them at the entrance.
Seeing Storm Shadow and the manpower he brought, Cobra Commander nodded at Storm Shadow with satisfaction. “Looks like you arrived just in time!”
His gaze lingered on Kane for a moment. After all, among a group of slender Ninja, stood a guy who looked even more burly than a brown bear.
It was hard not to attract his attention! “This is one of my capable Subordinates. You said the mission required some strong manpower, so I specifically brought him!”
Storm Shadow saw that Cobra Commander seemed interested in Kane and offered an explanation.
Cobra Commander grunted in acknowledgment. “Indeed, this mission does require some strong manpower!”
“Today I received information that the King of Wakanda has arrived in Washington! When do we make our move!?” Storm Shadow asked, raising his katana.
Cobra Commander burst into laughter. His voice was muffled through the silver-white facemask. “The King of Wakanda? No, no, our target isn't him!”
“Not the King of Wakanda!” Storm Shadow looked at Cobra Commander with doubt.
“I've named this plan 'Changing Heaven and Earth'...”
Cobra Commander had no intention of concealing his meaning from Storm Shadow at this point.
He shared his plan with Storm Shadow.
“I received information that after this secret meeting concludes,
the Federal President will personally go to the Hotel where the King of Wakanda is staying to meet him. Our mission target is him!”
The 'him' Cobra Commander referred to was naturally not the King of Wakanda.
Assassinating the Federal President.
Storm Shadow was somewhat surprised by Cobra Commander's plan.
His shock wasn't due to the act of assassinating the Federal President.
It wasn't just one or two Federal Presidents throughout history who had died from assassination.
What he couldn't understand was what benefit assassinating the Federal President would bring to the Cobra Organization.
“This plan is to help our allies get into the president's position!”
Cobra Commander seemed to see Storm Shadow's doubt and offered a brief explanation, but didn't say more.
A group of Cobra Soldier, under his instructions, began moving several sealed boxes from the cars.
...
Washington D.C., almost at the exact moment Cobra Commander arrived in Washington.
Over a dozen black official vehicles were parked outside Blair House.
A stern-faced short-haired man, accompanied by over a dozen members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. elite team, stood Guard beside the official vehicles.
A S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent wearing a black suit opened the Gate of an official vehicle.
A black elder in his fifties, escorted by several black women, got out of the car and walked into Blair House.
Blair House is located diagonally across from the White House. It's where the Federation holds summits, and where the president receives foreign heads of state and important politicians and celebrities.
Holding the meeting here shows that, although it was a secret meeting, the Federal government still placed considerable value on this meeting.
Of course, if it were the Wakanda of the past, as a poor small country in East Africa, it naturally wouldn't receive this kind of treatment.
Because of its previous disguise, in the eyes of the outside world, Wakanda was like other East African countries.
Poor, backward, a fourth-rate African small country living on United Nations relief funds—this was the stereotype all countries had of Wakanda, assuming they even knew about this obscure little country.
Wakanda's greatest use in the past might have been to serve as a headcount in United Nations votes!
When Boss Tang, hiding behind the scenes, exposed Wakanda's disguise, and the Allied Forces composed of the world's five major powers declared war on Wakanda, everything changed.
Leaving aside the outcome of the war that broke out between the Allied Forces and Wakanda, before the war began and during the stalemate phase, they were surprised by the technology and military level Wakanda displayed.
The UN Security Council launched a detailed investigation into Wakanda.
When the five major powers jointly investigated a country, they quickly found something! They discovered there was a reason for this country's low profile.
Wakanda not only possessed rare metal, high-tech weapons, and advanced education, but also its own intelligence agency, PRIDE.
According to the investigation results of the Central Intelligence Agency, the reason Africa didn't have a powerful country was all Wakanda's fault.
They secretly instigated wars, preventing the unification of Africa.
