Preparing to Return!
Upon learning that Chen Mo had told Tony Stark about the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.., Howard couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. However, seeing the disdainful look in Chen Mo's eyes, he still pretended to be indifferent and said...
"So what! No matter how capable he is, he's still my son!"
"Yes, once he finds you, you'll see how formidable he is!"
Chen Mo's words hit him where it hurt. Over the years, he had been silently watching Tony Stark and knew all about his achievements. Knowing about the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and having doubts about his death, he had the ability to find S.H.I.E.L.D..
"Uh... how about you leave your King's Sword to me for self-defense? I was exposed because you told him about S.H.I.E.L.D.., so you have to take responsibility for me!"
Imagining Tony Stark storming in his Iron Man suit, Howard forgot all about pretending and quickly sought help from Chen Mo.
More than seventy years have passed, but Howard still covets Chen Mo's King's Sword.
Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, glanced at Howard, and spoke slowly.
"Are you sure? With your terrible swordsmanship, I'm worried you'll chop Tony in half, armor and all."
Howard thought about it and realized that he was right. He couldn't wield the longsword as skillfully as Chen Mo, making it as easy as using his own arm, and he could remove the battle suit without hurting the person inside.
"Well, how about you just give me the shield?"
Howard's eyes darted around, and he immediately shifted his target. The Primary Adamantium Shield could easily block any attack, and with it, he was no longer afraid of Tony Stark.
"Alright, I'll have Shuri make you a Nanotech Combat Suit. As for my sword and shield, don't even think about them."
Chen Mo's words directly shattered Howard's little scheme, but getting a Nanotech Combat Suit would still be good. It could be stored in his wristwatch and activated at any time. Howard had long coveted Nanotech Combat Suit with strong defensive capabilities, but only Princess Shuri of Wakanda could manufacture it. Even as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., he could only look on with envy. But Chen Mo was different. He was the King of Wakanda's "good friend," helping him seize the throne and unify Africa. His influence and status in Wakanda were quite high. Getting a Nanotech Combat Suit was just a matter of saying a few words.
Howard was still somewhat unwilling. The resentment of not being able to obtain these two peerless weapons for more than seventy years had been deeply entangled in him, causing him to wake up in fear on countless nights. In particular, the Primary Adamantium Shield that originally belonged to him but was "given away" by his own hands was an eternal pain in his heart!
"That shield is mine!"
Howard let out a cry of defiance.
"Didn't you give it to me?"
Can I back out?
What do you think?
As Chen Mo spoke, he looked at Howard with a threatening gaze.
"Never mind what I said..."
Sensing the dangerous aura in Chen Mo's eyes, Howard decisively backed down. He didn't want to get beaten up by Chen Mo before facing Tony.
After playing around for a while, Chen Mo got down to business.
"I'm planning to leave for a while."
Howard was not surprised. Chen Mo had always been elusive and unpredictable. He had just disappeared for a while not long ago, and when he reappeared, he had already quietly replaced the king of a country and commanded the original king to fight for him. In the end, he even unified the entire Africa.
I wonder what his plans are this time.
But Howard knew that if Chen Mo didn't tell him, there was no point in asking.
"How long?"
"It could take a few months or a few years, but then S.H.I.E.L.D.. will be in your hands and Steve's's hands."
Don't worry!
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.., Chen Mo did not go to HYDRA headquarters, but returned to Wakanda.
Chen Mo painstakingly planned and schemed, even personally mobilizing the forces of HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.. to unify Wakanda across Africa, not just to realize Eric Killmonger's ideals.
Whether it's HYDRA or Wakanda, although their technology is very advanced, their development is not comprehensive. They only have a significant technological advantage in certain areas, especially in weaponry. However, their development time is relatively short, and their foundation is somewhat lacking. Their overall strength is simply incomparable to that of truly high-level technological nations in the universe.
Moreover, because it has always remained behind the scenes, its development scale has been limited, and it has been unable to fully engage in large-scale industrial development. Instead, it has focused its efforts on high-end technology research and development and small-scale manufacturing of cutting-edge weapons and equipment. As a result, its industrial productivity is severely insufficient, and it is unable to carry out large-scale industrial production.
They can quickly build a few hundred small fighter jets and tanks with their advanced technology, but if it's tens of thousands of large aircraft, giant tanks, or even Sky Carrier, the existing production capacity is far from enough. It takes a long time to produce a single Sky Carrier, making it impossible to achieve large-scale, high-speed production.
Africa is a vast country, and although it may seem barren and underdeveloped, it is rich in mineral resources. Under Wakanda's rule, these resources will be fully utilized and transformed into tremendous power.
Moreover, after Wakanda emerges from hiding and rules the entire Africa, technological development will no longer be so limited. All fields, including industry, agriculture, people's livelihood, aerospace, biology, and chemistry, will achieve comprehensive development, making up for the shortcomings in the technology tree and developing into a truly powerful space-based technological superpower with strong comprehensive strength.
After Africa unification, Wakanda, under the leadership of Eric Killmonger and in accordance with Chen Mo's plans and arrangements, focused on improving people's livelihoods and fundamentally raising the living standards of the Africa people, while also increasing the development of mineral resources and industrial construction.
Wakanda's original production facilities underwent another large-scale expansion, resulting in a significant increase in production capacity and efficiency.
Wakanda will become Chen Mo's production base in the future. With its cutting-edge technology, strong production capacity, and the support of human and material resources from all over Africa, it can quickly start up and carry out large-scale production when Chen Mo needs it. Even the huge Sky Carrier can be produced one after another like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
After assisting Wakanda in unifying Africa, HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.. did not withdraw their influence; on the contrary, they continued to strengthen their control over Africa.
Africa is, after all, a continent with a vast area, a large population, and complex ethnic and tribal forces. If Wakanda were to rule on its own, even if things were fine in the short term, problems would inevitably arise sooner or later.
