Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 1275 No Comment (First Update)

From the very beginning, the rulers of Latvia had their sights set on South America.

Both minerals and agricultural products are urgently needed resources for Latvia, and the political status of this strategic location is something Latvia must strive for. Therefore, even with cooperation with Wakanda in East Africa, South America remains a region that Latvia must enter. The puppet enterprises established in East Africa cannot fully satisfy the ever-growing appetite of Latvia's industry, and the soldiers constantly sent out to eliminate warlords cannot forever guarantee that production targets will not be delayed.

Today, Wakanda's rulers attempt to assimilate neighboring countries through gentle means. Even after the Wakanda king tasted Chang'aa, Kenya's homemade brew containing aviation kerosene, preservatives, and battery acid, and addictive glue sold by gangsters, he still disagrees with using more effective, structurally sound methods of conquest beyond building hospitals and schools to eradicate poverty and ignorance and liberate productivity from the land.

Latvinia was well aware of Wakanda's concerns, and out of respect for their ally, the knights could not set foot in East Africa on a large scale. All Wakandas hated the knights to the core, and the pain of the civil war in the Golden City would take at least a generation to slowly forget.

Faced with the current political predicament in South America, a company of genetically modified soldiers has become the best option for the Latvian government. This army can spend time clearing out all armed forces on the continent, or it can act as an intervention force between the government and the rebels to obtain resources. The First Company is about to be expanded into the First Regiment, and new knights are arriving one after another via the Eagle Assault Transport. Legion Commander Malcolm and the Regent have agreed to allow the First Company and the First Regiment to remain here for a period of time until it is confirmed that all extradimensional creatures have been killed and the new recruits have been trained.

At the same time, they also had to assess the warriors of the primitive tribes living in the rainforest, selecting strong adult males as candidates for future genetically modified warriors. No matter how unwilling the knights were, they had to do this, because strong adult males who could survive in this rainforest meant genetic superiority. If the act of selecting warriors from primitive tribes was still acceptable, the despicable political act of cooperating with the Path of Glory disgusted Aparisha. He would rather accept the order to kill everyone on this continent than kneel down and become a force that influenced politics.

Just as the Emperor had described him, he was a warrior, not a politician. Aparisha was proud of this assessment; he was a warrior, a symbol of the Emperor's destruction. He could sense the Regent's handiwork in the order from afar, but he also knew that the Regent's will was the Emperor's will. No matter how much he loathed the Regent appointed by the Emperor, he had to admit that the Iron Mask's wisdom did have some use. The knights' explosive ammunition, nutrient mud, armor adhesive, fuel, and other supplies all required the labor of a large number of workers to create. The underground city of the Immortal City alone could not possibly support all these genetically modified warriors, these walking war machines.

This is why Aparishia ordered his forward-swept wing interceptors and ground attack aircraft to cooperate with the Illumination Path plan and launch a relentless attack on the Peruvian government forces. The attack was effortless; two interceptors were able to easily destroy all the incoming Peruvian Air Force Mirage 2000 fighters.

"The brain damage caused by those children continuing to inhale glue and aviation kerosene, the blame for all that must fall on Wakanda." Victor von Doom summoned Princess Shuri of Wakanda to his office without any politeness. "Wakanda can now gradually eliminate the warlords in Kenya and eradicate hunger, but you are holding back because you are worried about meaningless international repercussions. I can tell you, Kenya's territorial integrity is nothing at the UN Security Council meeting. The Neroa government can do nothing. All it takes is a standard squad of war dogs to launch a coup, drive out the British Army training troops training in the East African Rift Valley, end human trafficking, overthrow the colonial government established by the British and Americans, and make the newly established Kenyan government side with Wakanda."

"Wakanda needs the support of the international community."

As the head of Wakanda's research center, Fort Hann, Shuri also served as Latvinia's diplomatic envoy. Due to the unique properties of vibranium, Wakanda is currently facing numerous diplomatic and trade requests, but King T'Challa has refused them all without exception, only agreeing to sell a portion of vibranium orders through the trade system established in Latvinia. This is both part of the agreement between Wakanda and Latvinia and also uses Latvinia as a buffer to shield Wakanda from the ulterior motives of various countries, avoiding direct conflict that leaves no room for compromise.

The Emperor and Regent tacitly approved T'Challa's idea and used it to negotiate with the Wakanda royal family to obtain a large amount of high-quality vibranium for military use. Even the arrogant Queen Mother Ramonda and the nobles who always looked down on outsiders had to hand over this share of vibranium to ensure that Latvinia could continue to act as Wakanda's protector.

"We need to take it slow, Victor," Shuri said confidently. She and T'Challa's mother, Queen Mother Lamonda, had long warned her that any demands made by the Latvian leaders should be carefully listened to, considered, and then rejected. "Wakanda needs time, and the world isn't ready to accept Wakanda yet."

"There is no such thing as international diplomacy, Shuri. The United Nations is nothing. The moment our monarch sets foot in the UN headquarters in New York, they have to acknowledge our status. Because we have orbital bombardment satellites, we have nuclear weapons, and we have teleportation decapitation strike tactics. No matter how much T'Challa wants international recognition, it is impossible for Wakanda to join the permanent members of the Security Council, because you have not yet shown your fangs."

Victor von Doom poured himself a glass of wine and began to tell Shuri about his understanding of this world. "We don't have time, Shuri. I want to reiterate to your brother the threat we face. The Black Order isn't something a few superheroes can solve. We need a well-trained army and advanced modern weaponry. The nations that reign supreme on this planet are nothing in front of an alien fleet. This world is about to revert to primitiveness; war and plunder will be the only themes of the future. Democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights will lose their value. The only valuable and absolutely just cause is feeding the people, nothing more. So either Wakanda accepts industrial and agricultural expansion, or we stand with Latvinia to carry out a conquest, expand the population, and annex more productive land."

"Oh, so that's the real purpose. You want Wakanda to start stockpiling food?"

"You could say that, since you can't make political demands without giving a speech."

Although the Regent's expression immediately changed, Victor von Doom sighed inwardly. He couldn't explain this to a royal princess like Shuri. No matter how much Shuri cared about the common people, she had never experienced hardship and couldn't understand how terrible hunger that penetrated to the bone was. Wakanda was a small country with a small population. The natural conditions of East Africa, coupled with intensive agricultural techniques, had long made the Wakandans forget the taste of hunger. But Victor von Doom deeply remembered the famine he experienced in his childhood, the closest he had ever come to hell in his life.

"Due to abnormal global tectonic activity, major food-producing regions around the world have been affected by earthquakes or floods, resulting in significant reductions in food production this year and next, and the wine market is no exception. Although twenty more industrial eco-farms have been added to the original plan in Latvian, it still won't be enough to feed our people during wartime."

"Does Latvia have anything to say about the unusual climate and tectonic movements?" Su Rui countered. "The first major earthquake came from South America. Your monarch happened to be in Cuba at the time, but no one was able to see him. At that time, the satellites over South America also happened to move away."

"No comment, Princess Shuri. Latvinia knows nothing about this," Victor von Doom said, his face grim. "Just in case, I must remind you. The Emperor is merciful; he tolerates betrayal and your boundless curiosity, but I will not. That's why he appointed me regent. Be careful; this world isn't all Wakanda."
