Buzz...
Buzz...
Buzz...
After a long time.
A stranger's female voice finally appeared in the phone receiver, speaking gently: "Sorry... he fell asleep."
"..."
Everyone present had their brows twitch.
At ten o'clock at night, a stranger woman holding Naraku's phone saying he fell asleep, surely one can imagine what might have happened before this without needing an explanation, right?
Why is Uehara Naraku sleeping at this time!
Or rather, why is Uehara Naraku still able to sleep with a woman at this time? Where did it go wrong... could they have guessed incorrectly?
Just when the woman on the other end of the phone quietly hung up, a series of engine noises came through the receiver, as if super engines were starting up!
They immediately heard the problem!
"That was just the sound of an aerospace carrier's engines starting..."
Nick Fury stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "It seems Uehara's communication has been cut off, and if S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace carriers have been dispatched, it means the war is about to begin."
"Is there another way?"
"Can we contact Tony?"
"We can't reach him now. Originally, Tony Stark could still call Pepper Potts at fixed times after being under house arrest... A few days ago, after Coulson returned, Tony Stark's communication was also cut off."
"There's also another way..."
Nick Fury took a deep breath and whispered: "The United States actually has a Wakanda intelligence contact point, not sure if it's still in use..."
"Should we notify Wakanda in advance?"
"Making Wakanda believe they're about to face a war without any evidence, letting them resolve this themselves?"
"Maybe that's the only way..."
Steve Rogers suddenly stood up, his face becoming serious: "If the intelligence we've received leads us to misjudge, at most we'll be ridiculed, considered troublemakers by the Wakanda we have never contacted...
If the judgment is successful, there might be a chance to resolve the war in advance; wars that shouldn't exist shouldn't appear in this world. For this purpose, we can sacrifice our lives or anything."
"Then let's go..."
Nick Fury took a key from his pocket and casually said: "With five people together, the car might be a bit cramped..."
No matter how, they finally chose a plan.
If they hadn't chosen to contact Wakanda, perhaps at midnight, Uehara Naraku would pretend to stealthily prepare a Quinjet flying directly to Wakanda for them.
Even so.
Uehara Naraku still sent Natasha an email at midnight, detailing the transportation for his 'business trip tour' to Africa.
A flagship aerospace carrier.
Three aerospace battle carriers from the Insight Project.
The scale of this war wasn't significant; it didn't involve tens of thousands of troops, only a few aerospace carriers and configured fighter jets.
Besides...
There weren't any special troops involved either.
Apart from these, Uehara Naraku even deliberately helped ensure Nick Fury and others gained Wakanda's trust, directly starting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s preparations.
For example...
Wakanda's PRIDE intelligence agency found out that dozens of American media outlets were rushing to prepare news about Wakanda's possession of weapons of mass destruction and the feudal king's abuse of natives, violating democratic freedoms...
This news...
It sounded full of the typical American style!
If nothing unexpected happens, the UN assembly would be convened the next day, and the US representative at the UN would pull out a small bottle of detergent at the meeting, followed by the great wave of American carriers and fighter jets heading to Wakanda...
Damn!
Are they insane?
These Americans still want to repeat the old trick; do they really think Wakanda has no weapons of mass destruction?
It seems now the war could indeed break out. When King T'Chaka of Wakanda got the news, he was somewhat displeased, but upon hearing that a team of agents were contacting them, informing them that this war was a Hydra conspiracy...
It has to be said...
Nick Fury's intelligence was quite useful.
Not to mention anything else; just the US and the World Security Council's war preparedness against Wakanda was enough to make Wakanda believe part of what he said.
Moreover...
Nick Fury also proposed an idea.
That is, they can solve this war as peacefully as possible; T'Chaka had people bring Nick Fury, Steve Rogers, and others to Wakanda overnight.
If they can eliminate those Hydra spies, and those aerospace carriers, peacefully resolving this war, the old king didn't want Wakanda's existence exposed.
Just when Nick Fury and the others boarded a plane to Wakanda, S.H.I.E.L.D. was also urgently preparing their aerospace carrier battle group.
"Tony."
Uehara Naraku came to Tony Stark's confined laboratory, tossed him a pile of photos, and said seriously: "This is the latest news I've found... Nick Fury, Steve, Natasha, Clint, they're with Bucky Barnes."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku supplemented with a remark: "Also... half an hour ago, they left the United States via a country called Wakanda..."
"Wakanda?"
"Yes..."
Uehara Naraku nodded, continuing: "That country is a hidden super-tech nation, the only place on Earth with Vibranium resources.
They might have sided with Wakanda, or Wakanda might be one of them, because there's a Superhero named Black Panther there as well.
Moreover...
When Mr. Howard Stark made the shield for Steve Rogers, it was provided by Wakanda's Vibranium; you must have heard that name..."
"I know..."
Tony Stark's fingers gradually tightened around the photos, his gaze fixed on the image of Bucky Barnes, his eyes slowly turning red.
This is the person!
Who killed his mother!
In the photos, Bucky Barnes was patting Steve Rogers' shoulder, his smile exceptionally gentle, with no trace of being the demon who murdered a couple of elderly parents!
If such a person can live happily...
Then this world is truly unfair!
This is unfair to Stark!
Unfair to his parents!
"My father once helped make a shield for Steve Rogers..."
Tony Stark scrutinized the people in the photos, speaking word by word: "Does Steve know... his friend Bucky killed my parents?"
"I don't know..."
Uehara Naraku patted Tony's shoulder, bent slightly to look at the photos in Tony's hand, quietly soothing his emotions: "But... Director Fury and Natasha must know..."
Yes.
Nick Fury and Natasha certainly know!
Because this video Natasha obtained, Nick Fury must have seen it during his tenure as director!
They were all in on it!
They were all colluding in everything!
"Uehara, where are they now?"
Tony Stark's fingers began to tear the photos into pieces, raising his head with red eyes to look at Uehara: "When can I leave here?"
Tony Stark's hand grabbed Uehara Naraku's sleeve fiercely, his voice mixed with anger and pleading: "Uehara! I want to leave here! I can't stay here any longer! I can't take it anymore! Uehara! Help me!"
"You can leave here soon."
Uehara Naraku patted his arm, whispered: "If Wakanda is really colluding with Hydra, we have every reason to leave here.
Because the White House and the World Security Council are very clear about the danger of a country like Wakanda colluding with Hydra, I'm going to report this.
Tony, relax.
If you want to regain your freedom, we still have a lot to do."
