Chapter 1147 A noble epitaph (first update)
The person who arranged the ceremony was Queen Mother Ramonda, because the ceremony was a palace affair.
Princess Shuri, who was supposed to have this power after T'Challa succeeded to the throne, obtained the Harn Fort Scientific Research Center. With her own scientific research strength and her reputation in the Wakanda Civil War, she completed the arrangement arranged by her former King T'Chaka to enter Harn Fort. The original intention was to seize control of the scientific research center from other tribes while avoiding political turmoil. The power of palace affairs, which seemed important but was actually dispensable, was handed over to the embarrassing Queen Mother Ramonda in the royal family according to the original plan to ease the conflict between the new Black Panther and the matrilineal family. Power conflict.
This is a pretty standard template for a palace power struggle.
Palace affairs have always been a position that can gain a lot of wealth and influence, but it is also a position that cannot touch the core of real power. In addition, T'Chaka weakens other nobles and clears the way for T'Challa to ascend to the throne. Any king can be the successor. If you do this, you can be called wise. However, before T'Chaka died, he certainly would not have thought that the blood children he had killed would return to Wakanda for revenge and bring a brief turmoil to the entire Wakanda.
Latovinia, which led this turmoil, took advantage of the situation and took over part of Wakanda's industrial power, which to some extent intensified the conflict between the new king and the Queen Mother - Queen Mother Ramonda was not an isolationist. Or, it can be seen from the fact that she agreed to her husband's idea of letting her son and daughter go out to receive education. In fact, she is not as resistant to cooperation with the outside world as other isolationist Wakanda nobles.
So when you state the reason for your opposition, the reason sounds very emotional and irrational.
"Think about how the Latvian soldiers treated those nobles, Shuri! I'm even surprised that the descendants of the nobles who were taken away by En Jadaka can still survive! My daughter, the Latvian people don't care at all Wakandan lives, the reason they don’t kill civilians is just because civilians cannot satisfy their bloodlust!”
After the coronation ceremony and the military parade, Queen Mother Ramonda quietly asked the War Dogs whether the Latvian Emperor's display of power during that ceremony had any adverse effects while instilling ideas in her daughter. The news brought back by the War Dogs organization is not very good. On the day of the coup, it was necessary to find an excuse for civil war and darken the image of En Jadaka. In addition, the charm displayed by the Emperor of Latovinia during the ceremony was so amazing that many Wakandans living in the Golden City even began to thank Lato. As allies of Wakanda, the Vinians and the Hell Knights responded neatly to the call of the royal heir to overthrow a Black Panther who betrayed Wakanda, and the Emperor even helped his best friend T'Challa regain the throne.
Although these are only the thoughts of Wakandans outside the Golden City who were not affected by the civil war, they also express the views of ordinary Wakandans to a certain extent. The initial propaganda caliber has already led to the current situation. There is no need for worse news than this for Queen Mother Ramonda. This report should have been given to Shu Rui and Nakia, but she relied on her power to take another look. The report prompted her to strengthen her beliefs. "We cannot cooperate with those barbarians." Queen Mother Ramonda looked at the survey feedback and closed her eyes in despair. "This is my bottom line," she said. "Latvinians must not be the industrial aristocracy of Wakanda."
"Their mission is to save you, Mom! And they are soldiers, and the role of soldiers is to kill!"
"This cannot change my decision. Even if we have to cooperate with Latovinia, we must keep a distance from them and take back the power given to them. That is the blood power of Basangga and the tribes that surrendered to Basangga, you Signing the contract without negotiation is a slight on the royal power, and I would rather die than have you sign that contract."
"You mean, break the contract?" Su Rui calmed down, "I signed the contract in exchange for your life."
"That is an immoral and coercive contract." Queen Mother Ramonda said, "Go and persuade your brother to veto that contract. He has the power to do so. We can cooperate with Latovinia, but that The seats of industrial aristocracy must be taken back. All Wakandan nobles support my idea, even your brother must listen to their opinions, and... Do you think the Emperor of Latovinia will not pay a price for doing this? Don't forget Well, the protagonist of the succession ceremony will always be the Black Panther and no one else!"
"I'm sorry to steal your spotlight, but I have to do it," the Emperor of Latovinia explained. Contrary to what Queen Mother Ramonda imagined, the Emperor of Latveria and the King of Wakanda did not have any bad feelings after the succession ceremony. They even shared a large bottle of iced Coke. T'Challa breathed a sigh of relief at finally becoming the true King of Wakanda, temporarily escaping from the near-endless meetings. "I have not forgotten the feedback given to me by the agents. When the Hell Knights fired cloud bombs at the palace as a deterrent, the nobles who disliked Latovinia almost pounced on them and bit their fingers. I have to let them Thinking of Latovinia's ability, otherwise those arrogant Wakandan nobles will definitely cause trouble for me or the Guards in private, and we don't have much interest in dealing with them."
"Maybe they want to thank you for not killing them too."
"If you are talking about this, I can only explain it as the tactical choice of the Hell Knight. You cannot let a group of warriors who only want to destroy everything go on a rescue mission. If it is not ordered, they will not save your mother. They'll even kill nobles who get in their way. You know they'll do that, it's all about efficiency."
"I know, I'm not dissatisfied, my friend." T'Challa opened his eyes, "I would be happier if you didn't talk to me through mental projection. I don't understand why after the ceremony, You and your warriors will leave in such a hurry."
"Because there is still a lot of evil in this world, T'Challa. The Hell Knights are my most important strike force. It is a waste to let them participate in the ceremony. I must use them to their effect within a limited time. place and let them create the peaceful environment my people need." The apparition of the Emperor of Latvinia reached out and passed through the Coke bottle on the table. "I really wish I could use my mind container to drink a Coke. But the mind container used to disguise my identity is still carrying my mind at Oxford University. If the mind container disappears one day, my true identity will be exposed. . Maybe I should expand the range of activities of the psychic container and let the biochemical body go to bars."
The conversation fell silent, and the apparition of the Emperor of Latvinia sat in his chair as if he really needed the support.
"You know where our differences lie. I don't agree with you using genetically modified warriors." T'Challa suddenly said, "I know you have quite reasonable reasons, but what you created is a group of cold-blooded and ruthless war machines. Not only do you Going against their will and violating scientific ethics is one of the biggest controversies the international community has over Latvinia. If you want to gain support from the international community, you have to make a statement."
"But they are very useful. The reason why the international community condemns them is because they cannot make super soldiers. If they obtain the manufacturing technology, they will definitely do so in large quantities. Each Hell Knight is comparable to a thousand fully armed human soldiers. They will have no fear, no pity, and will not betray their ideals for any reason. Their bodies can withstand the most arduous combat tasks, their enhanced brains can keep them awake for long periods of time, and their bones can even withstand the impact of conventional bullets. Attack...any one of them has the ability to independently kill every guy who claims to be a superhero. If I don't use them, do you still expect superhero marketing products to save the world?"
"We have soldiers, my friend. We must be nobler than other nations, only then can we lead them."
"Like a king, T'Challa." Emperor Latovinia shook his head, "Nobility may not necessarily allow humans to survive, but humans must need a class that specializes in efficient warfare. No reason, just to survive, this It’s justice.”
I've been very busy lately, so updates will be late.
