Cough cough, as for whether it was true or false, no one delved deeply into that.
In any case, this was one of the reasons the Federation declared war on Wakanda.
Just like the report provided by the French Agent, who suspected that global warming was related to Wakanda's secret research.
They just needed an excuse!
They had their reasons, but they didn't expect these people to be so capable in a fight. The war entered a stalemate phase, and the problems could only be resolved through negotiation.
...
At the Hotel entrance, the current Federal Secretary of State, Francis Underwood, saw T'Chaka walking over and quickly went to greet him, giving him a ceremonial embrace.
T'Chaka was momentarily taken aback by the Secretary of State's enthusiasm.
“Welcome, Your Majesty T'Chaka. I have a feeling your arrival will bring good fortune to the Federation!”
“It's also a pleasure to meet you, Secretary of State!”
Although surprised by Francis Underwood's enthusiasm, T'Chaka still showed the appropriate courtesy towards the Federal Secretary of State.
Francis Underwood, his face beaming, walked towards the interior of the Hotel after embracing T'Chaka, surrounded by a group of Security Personnel.
...
Inside the Hotel rooms, Natasha Romanoff, wearing a black tight combat uniform, was leading two Security Personnel with instruments, checking each room for potential eavesdropping and recording devices.
What the two S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent walking ahead of Natasha Romanoff with instruments didn't notice was that Natasha Romanoff's fingers traced along the Hotel wall behind them. Every time she passed a hidden Corner, she flicked her fingertip, and miniature listening devices and cameras would be embedded.
These eavesdropping devices were high-tech products she had confiscated from a hidden Laboratory in Western Europe during a mission. They were less than three millimeters in size.
Before being activated, they would remain in standby mode. Once activated, their energy would be sufficient to support operation for two hours.
Two hours, enough for these miniature listening devices to capture some important information.
...
Blair House, a small conference room. Photos of past Federal Presidents and celebrity oil paintings hung in the conference room, giving it a solemn atmosphere.
A contact that wasn't quite a formal meeting unfolded within this small conference room.
“Wakanda wants to become a permanent member of the World Security Council?!”
Francis Underwood looked at the stout black person sitting on the sofa. Although he had received this information from between England and France earlier, Francis Underwood was still somewhat shocked by T'Chaka's bold idea.
“King T'Chaka, you must know that there are only five permanent member seats on the World Security Council. It was like this when it was founded, and it will always be like this.
Wakanda's technological level is very high, but given your population and area and international influence, becoming a permanent member is absolutely impossible!”
“Nothing is absolute! Secretary of State, Country * and Russia will cast an affirmative vote in the vote for Wakanda to join the permanent member. Now only the Federation remains, and this is the reason for my visit.”
T'Chaka spread his hands: “As long as the Federation also casts an affirmative vote in the World Security Council vote meeting, Wakanda's entry into the permanent member will become a certainty!”
As everyone knows, among the five permanent members of the World Security Council, there are actually only three.
Country * and Russia will both cast an affirmative vote. Hearing T'Chaka's words, Francis Underwood's heart trembled.
As a seasoned politician, he could already imagine the intricate political deals behind these two affirmative votes.
“What can Wakanda offer?”
Francis Underwood was calculating the investment Wakanda had made in the two countries, Country * and Russia.
If Country * and Russia obtained Wakanda's technology first, and the two countries surpassed the Federation.
Even if his plan succeeded, he could forget about reelection in the future.
What Francis Underwood needed to consider was the benefit he could gain from facilitating this matter.
“Wakanda will provide a portion of vibranium as a market quota to circulate within the Federation, and will also share some vibranium technology!”
T'Chaka adjusted his glasses. “At the same time, I also hope Secretary of State will lobby the Federal Congress for me to end this war as soon as possible,
This battlefield was not instigated by us Wakandans, but by a Mysterious Organization.”
“We have already caught the trail of this Organization,” T'Chaka said, looking meaningfully at Francis Underwood. “Speaking of which, there is someone in this Organization that Secretary of State must be familiar with!”
“Acquaintance?” Francis Underwood was somewhat in doubt.
“Does the name Bucky Barnes sound familiar, Secretary of State? Some time ago, Wakanda was invaded, and we captured someone unexpected.”
“Mr. Barnes, a member of the Howling Commandos, Captain America Steve Rogers' close friend. He was brainwashed by that Mysterious Organization,” T'Chaka said.
“We are in the process of waking him up. Once Mr. Barnes is conscious, we will be able to find the mastermind.”
T'Chaka said, “Secretary of State, we and the Federation have a common enemy, don't we!”
Barnes? Francis Underwood wasn't very familiar with the name Bucky.
Hearing T'Chaka mention the surname Barnes, he suddenly remembered his young secretary.
“I will report this matter to the president!” Francis Underwood nodded, his expression solemn, appearing to attach great value to it.
“Your Majesty, considering the friendship between our two countries, I propose hosting a cocktail party at the Hotel after this meeting concludes!”
“A cocktail party!” T'Chaka was somewhat unclear about Francis Underwood's intention.
Francis Underwood explained, “Your Majesty should be familiar with our Federation's political system. At the cocktail party, I will invite some figures who can truly influence the Federation's landscape, such as the chairman of the Federal Reserve and some others...”
T'Chaka nodded in understanding.
“Then I'll leave it to you, Secretary of State!”
Francis Underwood chatted with T'Chaka for a while longer, exchanging opinions. Francis Underwood inquired about the Hotel's living arrangements for King T'Chaka before bidding T'Chaka farewell and leaving.
A secret meeting naturally couldn't be concluded so quickly. This meeting was merely a probing before the formal talks between the two sides began.
...
“Yes, Mr. President, King T'Chaka wants to host a cocktail party after the meeting concludes!”
“Secret meeting, I know. But Wakanda is very resolute. Country * and Russia have already reached a secret agreement with Wakanda. I think we cannot fall behind... Alright! I will definitely do a good job with the Security work!”
Francis Underwood, sitting in the back seat of a bulletproof sedan, put down the phone in his hand, a smile of successful conspiracy appearing on his face.
