Under this invisible attack, after losing several warships in succession, they had no choice but to obediently retreat.
The attacks from the sonic cannon were not missiles; no matter how advanced their "Aegis" System was, it simply could not intercept them.
Planes couldn't get in, warships couldn't get close, and the operation couldn't just be abandoned so easily, so the Commander of the coalition forces simply ordered a direct missile bombardment!
The missile silos on the warships slowly opened, and giant "Tomahawk" missiles rose amidst flames and thick smoke, spewing long trails of exhaust as they soared from the warships, rapidly adjusting their trajectory in mid-air before flying high toward the continent of Africa.
But before they could even leave the fleet's line of sight, they exploded in mid-air one after another, clearly having been successfully intercepted in the initial phase by Wakanda fighter jets.
The coalition forces were unwilling to give up and made one last desperate struggle, launching intercontinental missiles from other bases. Unfortunately, these expensive, technologically advanced, and powerful intercontinental missiles could not cross the African border; all of them were discovered and successfully intercepted in the mid-course phase.
The Western coalition forces, which had arrived aggressively under the banner of liberating Africa, were completely at their wits' end. All their means of attack failed to pose a threat to Africa, and their once-prided technological superiority vanished into thin air. Seeing that force could not solve the problem, the countries simply switched to other methods.
Refusing to recognize Wakanda's rule over Africa, imposing economic sanctions, trade blockades, and condemning them at the United Nations—they wanted to completely isolate and blockade Africa, using soft tactics to force Wakanda to submit. They had used these methods countless times and were already well-versed in them, but this time, they seemed to have miscalculated.
In the past, whenever they proposed something, the vast majority of countries would stand up to support them, allowing them to stand on the side of justice and occupy the moral high ground.
But the development of events this time was completely beyond their expectations.
Many countries ignored their demands and stood up one after another to support Africa, recognizing Wakanda's rule over Africa, congratulating Africa on its peaceful reunification, and successively establishing diplomatic relations with the new Wakanda kingdom, while simultaneously initiating various forms of cooperation and exchanges.
This completely tore apart the blockade imposed on Africa by the major powers.
Although the major powers were strong, they could not stand against the entire world. With military intervention failed and political means ineffective, and seeing that the situation in Africa was beyond redemption, in the end, the countries had to grit their teeth and accept defeat.
The Wakanda kingdom successfully completed the unification of Africa under the containment of the major powers, allowing a brand-new Africa and a brand-new Wakanda to stand tall in the world.
The dramatic changes in Africa thus came to an end. Not to mention that Wakanda began to construct and develop the entire continent according to Chen Mo's plan, Tony and the others, far away in New York, quickly put the matter aside after their initial shock. African affairs were too far removed from them; a regime change on a continent was not something they could interfere in, and besides, for the people of Africa, this was a good thing.
A unified Africa would inevitably be free from war, and with the advanced technology displayed by Wakanda, it would certainly improve the living conditions of the African people. They were not government officials, so they were happy to see this event come to fruition.
Therefore, while the outside world continued to pay attention to the development of the situation in Africa, the group returned to the laboratory and officially began the construction of the super vehicle.
However, this time, their standard of living had greatly improved.
After realizing that they could not take care of themselves at all, Little Pepper, who was too busy with the management of Stark Industries to get away, arranged a new personal assistant for them.
"Boss, it's time to eat!"
Following a slightly hoarse, magnetic, and lazy female voice, a beautiful and enchanting figure appeared outside the laboratory door.
A head of fiery red wavy hair set off her snow-white skin, and her exquisite face was as beautiful and moving as the most perfect work of art. Her pair of charming, light blue eyes seemed to hold ten thousand amorous feelings, and her sexy, full red lips were slightly curled, looking delicate and seductive, inviting reverie.
She was wearing a professional suit, but the shirt and short skirt could not hide her fiery figure at all. Her perfect S-shaped curves were well-defined, sexy, and hot, and her towering breasts seemed about to burst the shirt!
When her figure appeared outside the glass door of the laboratory, the gazes of Tony and the others were inevitably drawn to her.
She was the new personal assistant that Pepper Potts had found for Tony: Natalie Rushman, from the legal department of Stark Industries. But her true identity was a secret Agent of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, Natasha Romanoff, also known as the famous "Black Widow" of the Avengers!
She was acting under the orders of Director Nick Fury to infiltrate Stark Industries, with the true purpose of monitoring Iron Man, Tony Stark!
Although she looked young and beautiful, appearing to be only in her twenties, in reality, her true age was a bit older than Tony, but for some reason, her appearance had always remained in a youthful state.
As for her identity, it was quite complicated.
Originally, she was a spy for the Soviet intelligence agency, the KGB, having received special training since childhood in the "Red Room," a secret department under the KGB. She was a top-tier Agent possessing world-class combat skills and comprehensive capabilities.
Later, she defected from the Soviet Union and joined S.H.I.E.L.D.—that's right, S.H.I.E.L.D., not the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division—and the person who recruited her was none other than Tony's father, Howard Stark.
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha was secretly sent into the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division to strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control over it.
After all, after the war ended, the Strategic Scientific Reserve, which had been completely controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., was reorganized and placed under the supervision of the newly established World Security Council.
The director of the reorganized Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division would also be appointed by the World Security Council, weakening S.H.I.E.L.D.'s complete control over it. The current director, the one-eyed Nick Fury, was not a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Therefore, to ensure control over the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, S.H.I.E.L.D. strengthened its grip on the middle and lower-level personnel and organizations. In addition to the many S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel who already occupied key positions, they successively sent in a large number of operatives, including Natasha Romanoff, reinforcing control over various departments of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division and keeping it firmly in their hands.
Thus, although Nick Fury was the director appointed by the World Security Council and seemingly in complete control of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, in reality, its true master had always been S.H.I.E.L.D.!
