The anti-war factions in the mining tribe and the river tribe are also becoming less and less, and even the elder Ankoka of the mining tribe has started a secret meeting with the elder Vikabi of the frontier tribe.

By the time T'Challa hurried back home, it was already too late.

He saw Su Rui kneeling in front of his father's spirit, and his father's face preserved in the vibrating gold cryogenic device was as peaceful as before his death.

T'Challa is a qualified crown prince, but he is also a boy who is not really mature.

Suddenly losing his father, T'Challa was confused and in pain, but he didn't say a word, and knelt before his father's spirit for three days without a drop of water.

Until the fourth day, when Su Rui forced him out, T'Challa was still so sluggish and silent.

But soon, on the fifth day, when the meeting was held. T'Challa, who put on his father's dress and sat on his father's throne, regained his calm and wise appearance.

He was T'Challa, his father's child, but more importantly, he was the future king of Wakanda.

Compared with the identity of the Son of Man, this identity bears even heavier responsibilities and obligations. His people can't wait for him to forget their grief, and he must go out himself and lead his people out of the future.

"Wakanda has entered a wartime state, and all the war dog troops have been dispatched to open the protective cover and convert 70% of the domestic vibranium supply into military weapons."

T'Challa calmly arranged everything and made preparations for all wars.

Wakanda is a sparsely populated country, with a population of more than one million being a small country in the world.

It's just Wakanda's biggest disadvantage. Even if the incumbent kings have raised the quality of Wakanda's people to a high level, the problem of insufficient population is still fatal.

Wakanda's defense industry is not suitable for full progress in the direction of 'mass production'. They are more suitable for building top weapons in the 'high-end' field, such as the shield that protects Wakanda. These technologies are all It is difficult to replicate multiple times.

If a war really starts, Wakanda's best way is to stick to it and fight a defensive counterattack. As for active invasion, that was never within T'Challa's consideration.

The purpose of sending the war dog troop is to collect information, and the purpose of gathering strength is to defend and counterattack. T'Challa's behavior is impeccable, but there are still people who are dissatisfied.

"They killed your father and you chose to stay at home and do nothing?"

The irritable Mbaku clapped the table and stood up, looked at T'Challa contemptuously and laughed.

"I thought you were a little bloodier than your father, and now it seems that white education has turned you into a weak and incompetent surrendering trash!"

"Watch your words!" Nakia snapped

"I'm just stating the facts." Mbaku grinned and sat down

T'Challa waved his hand irritably. He didn't want to explain anything to this stupid and reckless elder of the ape tribe, and he certainly wouldn't listen.

War is not that simple, not so simple as to beat the other side once and win.

War is not as simple as someone's technology is powerful, there are many factors, logistical support, supply of troops, public opinion, war losses, etc...

Although Wakanda is a country with almost endless energy sources, many of the minerals and raw materials for processing technology, as well as the most deadly agricultural products, are imported.

The country of Wakanda cannot achieve the perfect internal self-circulation like those big countries, and achieve the level of being a "world factory".

T'Challa's decision was wise and flawless.

But many things in this world are not as simple as right and wrong.

"Maybe we have a second choice." Vikabi said suddenly

The next moment, the door of the hall was slammed open, and a man who looked somewhat similar to T'Challa, but was extremely fierce, stepped forward.

"For example, change to a king!"

Eric grinned

67. God, does not love the world

Wakanda is a nation that has been shaped by human beings from both its formation and its establishment.

Even if technology is advanced, even if the quality of the people is extremely high, even if it is full of elements of various utopias——

Wakanda is still a country that maintains the primitive tribal system.

Yes, the tribal system, the political system of this country doesn't even deserve to call itself feudal.

There are only two criteria for selecting a king - first, you must have the blood of the golden tribe, and second, you must stand out in a duel.

The criteria for judging the king are handed over to pure brute force, and this is the system by which this country selects its leaders.

Brutal, raw, rough.

Of course, you can say that this selection system is very "real", but you must understand that the development of human civilization, especially the development of the political system, itself is progressing towards more and more hypocrisy and complexity.

From the initial tribal system, to the concession system, to the feudal system, to the small-scale election of capitalism, to the election of socialism.

Essentially, a political system is the rules of the game set by those in power to gain more benefits. It's just that in this system, it gradually developed from egoism to altruism.

The root of the feudal family world is that the rulers cancel the tribal system of concessions in order to ensure the dominance and stability of their own families. It is also because the ruling class realizes that the aging self is not destined to be the opponent of the young challenger, so they establish it. the rule of.

The most obvious example of this model is actually gangsters. Why would those gangs be willing to worship a group of useless uncles or even let them determine the election of the gang leader? Because these 'uncles' are the former gangster power class and the future of the next one. This is a retreat left by the ruling class for itself, and it is also a guarantee to ensure that their rights can last longer.

And the democratic electoral system that followed, admittedly full of all sorts of flaws, and politicians of all sorts and weirdos—but he at least largely eliminated the danger of having an idiot in charge of the ruling class.

After all, most politicians are better than "why not eat minced meat", regardless of their selfishness or not, this kind of competition also ensures the relative soundness of the country's mind.

Yet Wakanda's electoral system...

They actually let a nation's mind use its muscles to determine each other's superiority.

And this kind of weird system is what Bast and the Golden Tribe intend to maintain.

The original Wakanda electoral system was a method for the Golden Tribe to subdue other tribes to gain power by relying on the power brought by the heart-shaped grass juice. Sexual results.

None of them actually cared whether Wakanda was good or bad.

When the rules have lasted for thousands of years and finally formed traditional customs, no matter the mentality of the participants is good or bad, this is already an established fact.

When Eric stepped into the hall, T'Challa realized it was bad.

He knew who Eric was, and he had heard his father tell the story of his cousin.

But he never thought that Eric would appear here, bypassing the tight defense of Wakanda, appearing in front of him and claiming the throne.

"Intruder!"

Okoye roared angrily, and the entire nervous and exciting Royal Guard aimed their weapons at Eric's whole body. As long as T'Challa gave an order, he would turn into a cold corpse.

"Do you want to kill me as your father killed my father, Your Majesty?"

Eric looked at T'Challa on the throne mockingly and bowed funny

"See you, great King of Wakanda. But don't forget to say my name, my real name."

"Take him down."

T'Challa gave the order in a deep voice, he will not allow Eric to destroy all this!

"He is Njadaka! Son of Prince Njob!"

Just then, Vika will suddenly open the mouth and say, the elder of this border tribe walked to Eric's side, looked at T'Challa and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules set by the Black Panther God, he is qualified to challenge you and your throne."

"Vicabi, have you betrayed?!" Nakiya asked sharply

"I'm just on the side of the ancient law," Vika said lightly

"And the side of the Black Panther God."

In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, T'Chaka's closest friend and the most loyal shaman of the Golden Tribe, Zu Li, stood beside Eric.

The high priest had no seat in this room, but his power was no less than that of any tribal elder.

He represents the black panther god, the will of the gods that this country has worshipped since ancient times.

The Golden Tribes rule Wakanda and believe in the Black Panther God, and both are indispensable. Without Bastet's power, the heart-shaped grass juice would be deadly poisonous, and the natural and rational nature of the Golden Family ruling Wakanda would crumble.

Mbaku laughed loudly when he saw this scene, and then stood with Eric. He hates any black panther, but Eric is obviously more pleasing to the eye than Zara.

"Then, the world and the gods are on my side now." Eric looked at T'Challa and smiled wickedly.

"My dear cousin, are you willing to accept the challenge and let your country fall apart?"

T'Challa's expression was deep. He seemed to be tired and sat down. After a long silence, he waved his hand.

"I agree to your challenge."

He didn't have a choice, and if he didn't want Wakanda to be divided, he had to fight.

"An ancient tradition that continues to this day, making the king who rules the most advanced country in the world face the danger of losing everything." Eric sneered mockingly.

"Oh, what a wonderful country."

...

Preparations for a selection duel usually take several weeks, and it is necessary to convene people from all over the country to witness the heroic appearance of the prince fighting with his own eyes.

T'Challa has never enjoyed such treatment, not even his father in fact - because T'Challa's ascension to the throne was the result of a secret duel with his brother.

But T'Challa obviously didn't want such a big battle, and Eric didn't have the patience either.

He can't wait to end all the blood of the Golden Tribe right now.

Eric, who has a strong tendency to self-destruct, has become more extreme and crazy after being transformed by the Iverson assassin.

The hormones that replaced the blood flowing in every part of the blood vessels still had too much effect on him, but he would only get more and more crazy after that.

Therefore, he wants to end everything before he is not a complete lunatic.

For T'Challa, he didn't have that much time to prepare.

The news brought back by the War Dogs is not good, the US military is now gearing up, and it is only a matter of time before the war begins.

And those few arms companies completely control the military's power structure, and their existence makes it impossible to talk about war.

T'Challa had to prepare early.

But even so, he procrastinated the night, and there were things he had to ask.

"Zu Li, my teacher, why are you doing this?"

In the empty hall, T'Challa looked deeply at his most respected teacher, his father's closest comrade-in-arms, and asked softly.

He believed in his heart that Zu Li would not betray, nor would he betray.

"Because this is the will of the Black Panther God." Zu Li said painfully and helplessly

"The Panther God said, war. She wants a war, in her name, in the name of war as a sacrifice, in the name of Hulk, the **** of fear."

"God of fear?" T'Challa frowned, looking at Zu Li with a strange expression

"I've never heard of Wakanda's ancestors worshipping such a deity."

"Yes, I have never heard of it, but this is the will of the Black Panther God." Zu Li said helplessly.

He entered the ancestral land, where he met the great panther god, who answered his questions.

No matter how uneasy and frightened this answer made him, it was the answer given by the gods, the result of his prayer.

The Black Panther God needs war, the Black Panther God desires war, and the Black Panther God wants them to sacrifice this war in the name of Hulk, the God of Fear!

The most powerful person in Wakanda has never been the Golden Tribe, but always the Black Panther God. T'Challa's family is able to rule Wakanda because of Bast's sanctity, and heart-shaped grass and even vibranium are actually Bast's assets.

Without Bastet, heart grass would only be the most terrifying poison. Without Bastet, posthumous members of the Golden Tribe would not be able to enter the ancestral land, and without Bastet, the dominion of the Golden Tribe would crumble!

This state power, which still maintains the original dueling system, is still essentially a kingdom granted by the monarch.

"I'm sorry, T'Challa, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, it's not your fault Zu Li." T'Challa comforted Zu Li in pain

"If it is really the will of the Black Panther God, then come on. If it thinks that I am not a qualified ruler, then let a more suitable one replace me."

T'Challa seemed very open-minded, as if he didn't care about the succession of the throne.

"Eric will bring T'Challa into the war." Zu Li whispered

"It is because of his brutal Black Panther God that he will give him this opportunity, T'Challa, if you can..."

"All my decisions are for the better future of Wakanda!" T'Challa interrupted Zu Li's words and said sternly.

"I will never trample on the people and interests of Wakanda in order to please the gods!"

Looking at T'Challa like this, Zu Li seemed to see T'Challa's figure on his body, he sighed faintly, and shook his head helplessly.

T'Challa, T'Challa, they are all good kings of Wakanda.

What the gods need, however, is not a good king, but a king who is in their interests.

Bastet has never exercised his supreme divine right in this country, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist. When Bast needed it, a thoughtful king like T'Challa became the biggest problem.
