The scene switched back to the live broadcast room. The beautiful female emcee faced the camera and continued her report. However, there was a hint of disbelief in her expression.
"Just now, all 61 countries in Africa held a press conference at the same time to announce that the whole of Africa has officially been unified. From now on, there will only be one country in Africa, and that is the Kingdom of Wakanda. All the original African countries will be merged into the Kingdom of Wakanda and become one of its provinces. The original national governments will be downgraded to the provincial government of the Kingdom of Wakanda and will no longer exercise their diplomatic and legislative powers."
"Now, please take a look at the live report from the reporters in front."
…
The people in the living room did not read the following report. Instead, they looked at the people around them in disbelief.
"Did I hear that right? Africa has been unified? By that Wakanda who popped out of nowhere? "
Tony Stark's face was full of disbelief. He looked up at Pepper, who was standing in front of him, and asked suspiciously.
"Pepper, is today April Fool's Day? Have we been fooled by the TV station? "
Pepper, who was also shocked by the news, shook her head slightly.
"No, today isn't April Fool's Day. This news should be true! Africa has really been unified! "
Tony and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Awesome! Bullsh * t! "
Chen Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, revealing a faint smile.
The African Unity Plan had finally been completed, but everything was not as easy as Tony and the others thought.
After all, the European and American countries, which occupied huge interests on the African continent, were not incompetent. The unification of Africa would inevitably harm their interests, which was something they did not want to see and absolutely would not allow.
That was why there was the previous joint rescue operation and the African Unity Alliance. Using these seemingly normal means to conceal their true purpose, they quickly expanded Wakanda's influence and control over the entire African continent. Moreover, they moved very quickly in all aspects. Even if the European and American countries found out that something was wrong, they had no time to stop it.
Who would have thought that the unification of more than sixty countries on an entire continent would be completed in less than a month?
This was the amazing power of Hydra and SHIELD, who were hiding behind the scenes!
They could easily overthrow a country's regime, but that was also because the target was the chaotic Africa. If it were Europe and the United States, it would not be so easy, and it would not be so simple and crude.
Even with the full support of Hydra and SHIELD, the process of Wakanda's unification of Africa was not easy.
In order to completely control Africa and realize the unification of Africa, other than controlling the governments and armies of the various countries and winning over the hearts of the people, the biggest problem was the opposition of the European and American countries. They could not just watch the chaotic Africa achieve unification and move towards stability and unity. If that happened, how could they easily grasp the huge benefits in the resource-rich Africa?
This was also the reason why Chen Mo did not choose to unify Africa by force. Without a legitimate reason, conquering Africa by force would give the developed countries an excuse to intervene. When that time came, in order to protect their vested interests in Africa, they would definitely send troops to intervene, just like what happened in the Middle East back then.
They talked about democracy and human rights, but they wantonly trampled on the sovereignty of other countries and interfered with the internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, Chen Mo would not give them an excuse or opportunity to intervene.
Not only that, after the joint rescue operation began, several large transport planes carried out rescue missions for the refugees. Under the cover of the rescue operation, they secretly transported large amounts of production materials from various African countries to Wakanda.
With the supply of resources from all of Africa, Wakanda, which possessed advanced technology, completely unleashed its terrifying production capacity.
The production base started to produce military materials at full capacity, and batches of world-class weapons and equipment were rapidly produced.
After the African Union of Unity was established, all the armies of the various countries were reorganized. After a selection process, only less than one-tenth of the original elite soldiers were retained.
However, without the chaotic battles between the warlords, there was indeed no need to retain so many troops just to protect Africa and maintain stability.
Moreover, these soldiers who were retained after the selection process were the most elite soldiers. After being equipped with advanced weapons, their combat power was much stronger than before.
However, the purpose of these soldiers was not to deal with the military intervention of the developed countries in the West, but to maintain the stability of Africa itself. The ones who were truly dealing with external military threats were still the elite soldiers and high-end military forces of Wakanda.
After the announcement of the African Union, the armed forces of the Western countries in Africa were quickly expelled. Faced with the African soldiers who were more numerous and more advanced in terms of equipment, the Western soldiers who were originally extremely arrogant in front of the native African soldiers instantly changed their expressions.
Looking at the African soldiers who were now equipped with equipment that was more advanced and more powerful than theirs, they did not even have the intention to resist. They obediently retreated with their tails between their legs.
The Western countries, who were used to running amok in Africa, were naturally unwilling to let their cake in their hands be taken away so easily. After the troops stationed in Africa were expelled, they quickly formed a joint army and prepared to carry out military intervention in the name of liberating Africa.
Immediately after, they realized that Africa's airspace and territorial waters were completely blocked. Their fighter jets and warships could not even get close to the African continent.
Be it America's most advanced F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet, B-2 stealth strategic bomber, Europe's "Typhoon" fighter jet, or France's "Rafale" fighter jet, none of them could enter African airspace. Every time they got close, they would be quickly intercepted by the Wakanda fighter jets. The radar invisibility that they were so proud of was completely ineffective. The speed, mobility and other performance that the Wakanda fighter jets displayed far exceeded theirs.
In the aerial confrontation, they could not even catch the shadow of the Wakanda fighter jets, let alone lock onto them and attack. Meanwhile, their own planes kept ringing with radar lock-on alarms. No matter how they maneuvered, evaded, or even accelerated to escape, they could not shake off the Wakanda fighter jets' lock-on.
After a few fighter jets were shot down one after another, the rest of the fighter jets could only surrender obediently and were escorted to land inside Africa.
The coalition forces' repeated attempts to test the waters had all ended in failure. After losing a large number of fighter jets, the coalition forces had no choice but to give up on using air power.
Meanwhile, the navy's attack was also blocked. After ignoring Wakanda's warnings and crossing into African territorial waters, the Wakanda fighter jets once again taught them a harsh lesson.
A ripple of air approached the Burke-class destroyer at the forefront at high speed. Immediately after that, the warship looked as if it had been hit by a missile, and a huge hole was blasted in the side of the ship.
