Marvel’s Princess Chapter 1122: Dinner
Bella and Natasha did not interfere with little Suri's study. In the future, she may be able to shock Bruce Banner to the point of being unable to leave the stage, but now she is just a child, still six or seven years old, at the age of playfulness. Whether he is reading a book or listening to the teacher Kimo Yuzhong's lecture, he seems a bit careless.
Bella and the others are quite accustomed to this. Children of this age are like this. It is basically an extravagant hope for her to study honestly.
They took a quick tour of the laboratory, which was tightly controlled by the royal family, without raising an alarm.
The arrangement of the old King T'Chaka is not new. The royal family has two focuses, one is the Black Panther, and the other is Wakanda's Science and Technology Research Institute. He has made arrangements for his two children, regardless of T'Chaka. Whether La and Su Rui are suitable for these two positions in the future, they will follow the path planned for them by their fathers.
Bella is very knowledgeable about biology and genes, but her level of mechanical manufacturing is very average. Natasha claims to know a little about everything, but she only knows a little about Wakanda's technology and the outside world. There are still huge differences. For many things, we can only see a general use, but the specific principles are not clear.
The two of them had many speculations about the Wakanda royal family locking many scientific research results in the laboratory.
“Their population is small, productivity is low, and the wealth created is naturally less. However, their scientific and technological capabilities are very strong. They do not use mechanized production but maintain manpower. This may be a restriction specifically imposed to prevent the trap of low fertility. ?"
Natasha recounted her suspicions that Bella was really not interested in the social system and just responded casually.
"I think you are overthinking. How can a feudal society like theirs bother to think about the low fertility trap? I think they just don't want to spread the technology and are worried about affecting the rule of the royal family. Well, I am Just a guess."
Dark Warrior River, Crystal Forest, Wakanda Mountain, Engadaka Village, Jabari Village, the two of them walked around Wakanda. The time is limited, so they may not be able to see everything, but the basic information is considered With everything under control, the two returned to Wakanda's central palace.
At noon, the T'Chaka family hosted a banquet for Charlie's family in the palace. It was considered a private banquet, and no one talked about official business. At the end of the banquet, King T'Chaka and his queen danced in public, with T'Challa standing by. The atmosphere is very good with the accompaniment of drums.
In the afternoon, Bella went back to her room to rest, while Natasha selected some key points of the information she had gleaned and told her mother and Charlie.
In the evening, Wakanda officially held a dinner in the palace to entertain the visiting US President and First Lady. This was a state affair.
Except for the Jabari tribe, which lives in seclusion among the snowy mountains, all four major tribes that make up Wakanda’s power structure attended the dinner.
In the splendid hall, Bella saw merchant tribesmen with thick turbans on their heads, generally short stature, and border tribesmen wearing cloaks with vibranium devices that can greatly increase defense power. The River Tribe, who was unable to speak with a plate in his mouth, and the Mining Tribe, who wore bright red dresses and looked quite low-key.
Charlie has had some tentative conversations with T'Chaka, and the two parties have communicated well.
It is too early to talk about a strategic partnership now. It will not reach that level without contact for a year or two. However, the two parties still proposed some purely commercial transactions based on the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity.
The United States will sell a spaceship to Wakanda and open two colonies on Pandora to the Wakandans, and Wakanda will pay 1.5 tons of vibranium for this. The two sides will also send diplomats to each other to communicate at the government level of the two countries. Wakanda will send some young people to study in several universities in the United States to learn the history, economics and political systems of various countries around the world, which they urgently need. things, and the White House will also select some people to come to Wakanda to learn vibranium technology for civilian use.
Wakanda needs to modernize its country in an all-round way. Technology is an important indicator of modernization, but it is not all. Without supporting systems, the stronger the technology, the worse Wakanda will be.
The United States also needs to learn their scientific and technological knowledge in metal smelting, aircraft manufacturing, etc.
Both parties are still very satisfied with the results of the first transaction.
At the dinner, the old king T'Chaka raised his glass. He did not talk about the transaction of exchanging spaceships for vibranium, but talked about the exchange of personnel for study.
"This is really a happy day. We have taken a solid step for Wakanda to go abroad and go to the world. Everyone, please share this joy with me!"
His cheerful mood did not infect the people at the dinner party, at least not everyone.
The border tribes and the river tribes with the plates stuck in their lower lips were extremely dissatisfied. The merchant tribes and the mining tribes were in a daze. They only nodded lightly to the action of the old king T'Chaka raising the wine glass, and did not say anything. Immediately echoed.
The old king's prestige is still there. Now these tribal leaders have been beaten by him more than once. At this time, he stared at several people with sharp eyes. Slowly, the merchant tribe was the first to succumb. A man who looked crane The old lady with goosebumps raised her glass with a stiff expression.
Then there is the leader of the mining tribe, who is also an old lady.
King T'Chaka, Friend of the Old Woman, was very satisfied with the choices of the two tribes and looked at the other two tribes.
The chiefs of the Border Tribe and the River Tribe are both men. The two looked at each other first, and then looked at the old king whose eyes revealed danger signals. The chief of the River Tribe raised his wine glass very slowly, and the Border Tribe Wakabi, the patriarch of the clan and the commander of the Wakanda army, sat there, motionless.
The border tribe has the most contact with the outside world. They know the greed of white people too well. Once white people are put into Wakanda, let alone tradition, I am afraid that even the country will be swallowed up whole, and everyone will be treated as It's not strange to be a slave. He loves Wakanda and this country very much, so he doesn't want the old king T'Chaka to completely destroy the country.
He threw the wine glass to the ground hard: "I don't agree!"
He was the youngest among the four tribe chiefs. At this time, he stood up and angrily scolded the old king T'Chaka: "Study? Study their history? How funny! The history of these outsiders is a history of war, and you What are we going to do now? You want to open our country and welcome them to come to our home to plunder the wealth and take away the wealth that our ancestors have accumulated with their hands for generations. You are betraying Wakanda and betraying us! All the people who trust you!”
