Africa has a total population of nearly 1.3 billion, and at least over 100 million people have been affected by this wave of war, a number that is still constantly rising.
King T'Chaka's words were clearly elevating Osborn to the skies—the entire United States only has a population of over 300 million, and a matter of this scale really cannot be handled by a single phone call.
However, there is hope to alleviate a few tens of millions, if everything goes smoothly.
But Harry needed to probe the attitude of this King T'Chaka somewhat—after all, in the original work, he was bombed to death just minutes after appearing.
Harry said: "Of course, King T'Chaka. Recently, Osborn has carried out many strategic layouts, and I also hope to help these people in war-torn areas."
"However, we are just a company after all, and some things still need to be handled by these countries themselves."
The Oscorp bought four in total, each large enough to build a city.
He bought a large piece of land from the authorities within Nigeria in the Gulf of Guinea—there were almost no indigenous inhabitants, and it was not located within any existing port city.
It is very close to Lagos, but Lagos, this major port, is already in chaos, and Harry is just in time to absorb refugees nearby.
Besides Nigeria, Harry also bought a piece of land of the same scale in Somalia; one in the east and one in the west, the locations of these two pieces of land are quite good, both being excellent port sites.
These two places will become Osborn's main contact points in Africa in the future; Harry also bought a destroyed oil field in the Congo, used to meet the needs of his own consumer goods industry.
However, while a lot of land has been bought and peacekeeping forces have been sent, to do something long-term on that land, there must be a strong political group standing at the front.
Preferably locals.
The trouble lies here; it is not difficult for Osborn to push a political front, but the problem is that, to be honest, Wakanda's foreign policy is somewhat self-contradictory.
On one hand, they do not want the outside World to know of their existence, and theoretically, they will not interfere in the political changes of the outside World.
But on the other hand, if Osborn really pushed out a puppet regime, it is inevitable that those Wakandans would secretly sabotage it and expel him, the "colonizer."
King T'Chaka of Wakanda might not want to care, but their Agents abroad have quite free operating guidelines; as long as Wakanda is not exposed, nothing will happen, and even if they blew up Osborn's properties, they would only receive a lukewarm warning.
But if Osborn were to capture these Agents, this would become a diplomatic incident, and Wakanda would definitely want an explanation from Harry.
In other words, whether these African countries can be controlled or not, Wakanda's attitude is still very important.
T'Chaka said: "I believe this wave of chaos will soon pass; as long as there is no interference from outside forces, they will eventually choose their own leaders."
This King T'Chaka was implying something, and it was about the same as what Harry had inferred; he indeed was a bit xenophobic—racially.
Harry smiled: "I agree with what you said, but how many people will die before that? How many people will be displaced?"
Natasha and T'Challa looked at Harry in confusion: He doesn't look like the type of person with a saintly personality, does he?
Harry spread his hands: "You two, no need to be so obvious, right? It's not necessarily the case that only those who rush to the front every time are the ones who care about World peace, right?"
T'Chaka did not have any such misunderstanding about Harry; after all, no matter what, he was an old king.
He only looks at the impact of what the Oscorp does on the World; as for what Harry is thinking, he won't dwell on it too much.
T'Chaka pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Osborn makes sense. Do you have any suggestions?"
Harry tapped the holographic watch on his wrist, projecting a map of Africa.
He pointed out the three large pieces of land he had bought on it and said: "I plan to establish Osborn branches in these three places, fully automated construction, requiring very little manpower, so the construction period will be very short."
"The first phase of construction will be completed in about two years, and it is estimated that each place can accommodate 50,000 people; a large area of farmland will be marked out around these lands, planted with Osborn's new crops, and the yield will be very high."
The new crops are obtained by hybridizing and grafting Earth crops with plants from Alfheim; the yield is quite high, and it can also improve the quality of the original crop varieties.
However, the research direction over there seems to have started to go off track recently—the "magic technology" used by the elves to maintain plants has become a hot spot for research.
Thanks to the cooperation with the China, the new type of Alfheim rice can even reach a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, and now it seems that to break through this achievement, it can only rely on magic.
Harry displayed a "projected grain distribution curve" based on existing data, and the exaggerated numbers made T'Chaka's face change: Is this really not a joke?
Wakanda does not have much research in this area; their population is small to begin with, and their mutant crop yields are also among the top in the World.
But looking at the data presented by Osborn, their crop yields are at least 3 times higher than Wakanda's crops.
So a question lingered in T'Chaka's heart: What on Earth is Osborn planting?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, we have resources, technology, and land; this will be a utopia—as long as the refugees still have the will to start life over."
Hearing this, Natasha said: "So you plan to enclose this place with high walls and not let others in? I mean, this is their land."
A city with a population of over 100,000 is not big, and this wave of refugees is in the tens of millions.
Harry replied: "Good question, I do intend to do that first, prioritizing the screening of some people to enter the city to ensure normal operation."
"Actually, Osborn began receiving orphans affected by the war three years ago; some of them have performed very well and should be ready to graduate."
"These children are truly something to be proud of; let me introduce them to you."
This batch of graduating children is around 18 years old; the socialized upbringing within Osborn gives them high loyalty to the company, and Osborn's internal learning model also allows them to progress very quickly.
They only need to complete specific courses to earn credit points just like regular employees, and then undergo genetic modification and prosthetic replacement, which makes their intelligence and logical thinking develop faster, allowing them to enter the workforce earlier.
By the age of 18, after completing a series of basic courses, these people have at least 1500 credit points, enough for them to undergo two deep prosthetic modifications or genetic modifications.
Theoretically, as long as they don't spend all this money on consumer goods like virtual reality pods, their advanced physiological modifications are enough for them to complete the courses.
Upon completing the courses, they possess basic working abilities, and according to their completion status and personal preferences, they will be assigned to different departments.
In terms of functionality, they are mainly divided into three directions: engineers, researchers, and soldiers.
The first batch of socialized upbringing graduates is about 7,000 people; facts have proven that this unified training method is highly efficient and useful, and as the age decreases, the effect gets better and better.
As for those who didn't graduate on time, Harry relegated them to the United States immigration center—although they didn't meet Osborn's standards, they certainly reached the social average level.
Food is solved, housing is solved, and even consumer goods can be obtained in almost a white-collar way; the lives of these employees can be said to be free from worry about food and clothing.
In terms of work, guided by socialized upbringing and with huge business demands, they can almost entirely find a job according to their own interests and skills.
They will not only play a major role in the construction of this land in Africa, but in fact, the shadow of Osborn employees can be seen in every war-torn area.
T'Chaka took a deep look at Harry—this young man was not lying, it's just that this is not quite like the enterprises he knows.
So he probed and said: "Mr. Osborn, can you take in more refugees? The war that has occurred within this week has already affected half the country."
