Hearing that, Tony glanced at Luke again. No wonder this guy was in such a hurry to get so many "players" to train them to fly "cannon fodder" fighters.
Terchara nodded. "I have about two thousand fighters. Together with Bruce's, that should be enough."
As for warships, nobody mentioned them. They weren't built quickly, and Terchara and Luke remembered their numbers very well.
Also, the Lord Destroyer fleet was equivalent to an "air base" for the fighters, while Earth's fighters were mainly land-based.
In terms of speed and agility in the atmosphere, the Lord Destroyer warships couldn't compare to the fighters.
Wakanda's Vibranium fighters, in particular, were lethal enough to break the Lord Destroyer's protective shield.
Thus, whoever destroyed the other party's fighter fleet first would be able to attack the other party's base.
Once the base was destroyed, the battle would be eighty percent lost.
Of course, the Lord Destroyer wouldn't be so stupid as to let the base be worn down.
He was the director of the Family Planning Commission, who specialized in destroying "half" factions, not a fool who would throw his life away.
If the situation couldn't be salvaged, he would definitely leave early.
With Earth around, he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to get the gem.
They soon entered the conference hall inside the palace.
As soon as they entered, Su Rui greeted Luke and Tony at the door.
As Wakanda's number one technical engineer, she had been in charge of the manufacturing and production of all kinds of equipment in Wakanda since this year.
She knew Wakanda's specific equipment and strength better than Terchara, so she naturally had to attend the meeting.
Then, Luke greeted the "retired" Avengers next to him.
Only Tony turned his face away and pretended not to see Steve.
Steve wasn't embarrassed.
Normally, the tycoon would definitely have said something nasty to him. It was already very magnanimous of him to only turn his face away.
The others didn't say anything.
Steve and Tony had been at loggerheads because of Bucky.
Although Luke had tried his best, and Steve had taken the initiative to admit his mistake, it wasn't appropriate for the others to say anything.
As long as it didn't affect business, they could just pretend not to see anything.
Everybody simply greeted each other before they took their seats.
It was still Dr. Banner who started it, and Luke added on to explain the Lord Destroyer.
Then, Luke concluded, "Destroying a gem to stop the Lord Destroyer is actually useless against us."
A smart person like Tony had already figured out the reason after thinking for a period of time.
He didn't want to be ridiculed by the knight, so he decisively interrupted, "Because Thanos already knows that there are gems on Earth. If we destroy it, then the entire universe will be safe, but the enraged Slayer Tyrant definitely won't mind taking action personally and destroying Earth, right? "
Luke nodded. "His usual practice is to kill half of us, but when he's angry out of humiliation, he can classify all the humans on Earth as the half that should be killed."
At this point, he looked around at everyone and slowly said, "I'm an Earthling. I won't sacrifice Earth to benefit the entire universe. Therefore, if we kill Thanos this time, we might as well let him collect all the gems. That way, at least half of the people on Earth can survive. "
Everyone fell silent.
This was a very heavy topic.
If he won, everything would be fine.
If it failed, Luke's idea was undoubtedly the best choice for Earth.
Speaking of which, it was like exchanging half the lives of the entire universe for half the lives of the people on Earth.
However, everyone present knew that the survival of half of the majority of the races was already enough for the continuation of the race.
From an absolutely rational point of view, it could also greatly alleviate the problem of competing for resources.
Of course, this was actually Director Thanos's logic.
It was just that the families and friends of the half of the people who were destroyed couldn't accept it.
Of everyone present, not Chief T 'Chala, who was more of a saint, would at most have such thoughts.
Most of the others accepted the direction of public opinion in Europe and America, and didn't dare say it out loud even if they agreed.
Only Knight could express his attitude without hiding it.
After all, everyone here knew that Knight was Batman.
As someone who had saved Earth many times, he had already become a saint and wasn't afraid of being questioned at all.
Moreover, the Avengers also remembered his attitude towards non-human intelligent creatures — in Batman's eyes, aliens were never considered human.
Batman, who claimed to never kill anyone, was already stained with the "blood" of vampires, experimental subjects, aliens, and other non-human beings. He was 100% an alien butcher.
It would be a miracle if he chose to let Earthlings sacrifice themselves for aliens.
Luke's attitude was also to set the tone for the rest of the battle.
Either they killed Thanos and surrounded the entire Earth, or the entire universe died along with Earth. There was no third choice.
With this most basic attitude, all that was left was tactical arrangements.
On this point, Luke simply let it go.
He had never been an excellent tactical commander. Apart from fighting his opponents head-on, he was best at hiding and attacking from the shadows.
This kind of basic strategy was ineffective against a mature space fleet like Thanos.
Leave the professional to the professionals, and Frank and Steve were the most suitable candidates.
As for Chief T 'Chala? Forget it.
This family relied on technology that far surpassed their African brethren, and had never really fought a war. At most, it was internal strife.
However, they still followed tradition, and basically fought with cold weapons.
However, this was understandable.
Some of the people who died could be made up for by giving birth, but if they used vibranium technology in a war, Wakanda's internal strife could turn the country into slag.
When that happened, they would have to spend a lot of vibranium to hide Wakanda's existence again.
While they were discussing, Luke stood at the window and looked at the sunny Africa as he pondered the Thor brothers.
It definitely wasn't a coincidence that they had run into Thanos.
As soon as Odin died and Asgard was destroyed, Thanos sent out troops to snatch the Power Gem from Xandar, and then turned around to block Thor's spaceship in space.
There was no doubt that whether it was a spy or a space probe, Thanos was definitely paying attention to the situation in Asgard.
That was why he had been able to chase after Thor's spaceship and snatch the gem.
Even if Loki hadn't brought out the Reality Gem, Thanos could have searched the wreckage of Asgard.
What could destroy the Infinity Gem was the gem itself.
The immense divine power that had turned Luke into ashes was nothing to the Infinity Gem.
What a pity for Loki! Luke sighed inwardly.
It was such a pity that he didn't have the chance to kill this Asgardian scum with his own hands!
Putting aside the experience and credit points, just based on the bad things this second prince had done on Earth and how he had tried to kill his sister, Cindy, Luke really wanted to cut Loki's flesh into pieces, burn his bones to ashes, and scatter his ashes into the stars.
As for Thor, Luke was just worried, but he didn't think he was dead.
He had asked Dr. Banner. Before Heimdall teleported Thor away, Thor had only been trapped and not killed.
And a Son of Providence like Thor wouldn't die so easily.
Not only did 2023 Thor not die, he even used the newly forged Storm Axe to chop off Thanos's head.
Even though Thanos was already half-dead at that time, and the Avengers had still ambushed him, there weren't many people who could cut off his head so easily.
Thinking about it, Thor probably wouldn't be so miserable.
