Chapter 1735: Be a Superhero! (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please

Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt, and also the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. The city is located at the southern end of the Nile Delta in northeastern Egypt, straddling the Nile River. It is majestic and magnificent, and is the political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center of the entire Middle East. Cairo consists of Cairo Governorate, Giza Governorate and Qalyub Governorate, commonly known as Greater Cairo. Cairo is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is also one of the few ancient cities in the world that has suffered the least damage from war. Moreover, it has been continuously built and expanded by dynasties and governments to form this big city where ancient and modern coexist and complement each other.

In Cairo, mosques and minarets can be seen everywhere. In Arabic, minarets are called "minar", which refers to the place where the muezzin stands and calls people to pray. Since the 7th century, with the widespread spread of Islam in West Asia and North Africa, the architectural art of mosques has continued to develop, and minarets have evolved into various styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture and a highlight of Cairo city.

In 3200 BC, King Menes of Upper Egypt unified Upper and Lower Egypt and established the capital city of Memphis near the top of the delta on the west bank of the Nile River. Many dynasties of ancient Egypt used this as their ruling center and built pyramids and a large number of tombs nearby. Looking at the pyramid scenic area through Google Maps, you can find a landmark named "Memphis and its cemetery pyramids". In 30 BC, the Roman Empire invaded Egypt and repaired and expanded the ancient Persian Greek city of Babylon (now the area of ​​Old Cairo).

In 30 BC, the Roman Empire invaded Egypt and repaired and expanded the ancient Persian Greek city of Babylon (now the area of ​​Old Cairo). Afterwards, towns such as Askar and Qatye were established nearby. In 969 AD, the Fatimid dynasty finally conquered Egypt and built a city and capital north of the town of Fustat that year, named Cairo. During the reign of Saladin in the 12th century, the above towns were unified into the city of Cairo. Cairo, meaning "conqueror" and "city of victory", marks the final conquest of ancient Egypt by the Arabs and the end of ancient Egyptian history.

Later, due to the succession of Arab dynasties, the invasion of the Ottoman Empire and the French King Napoleon, Cairo did not really become the political center of Egypt until 1 Ali became the ruler of Egypt. Although Cairo has had a bad fate in history, fortunately, it has never suffered a devastating war in the past thousand years. Most of the historical buildings in the city have been preserved, and some old city areas even retain a certain medieval style.

Cairo has evolved from a small new city in the north of Fustat to a megacity with a population of more than 20 million through continuous expansion and extension. Today, Cairo is the most populous and largest city in Arab and African countries, and it is also one of the political and cultural centers of the Islamic world today.

However, with the rapid development of the city, Cairo is currently facing a series of serious problems: a sharp increase in population and excessive density; urban infrastructure cannot keep up, and the city's sanitation is poor; traffic is seriously congested; there are many dilapidated and old houses...

I believe that everyone who has been to Cairo will feel crowded first, and the traffic jams are so congested that they doubt life.

In the past 60 years, Egypt's population has experienced a big explosion. According to UN data, Egypt's population has almost quadrupled since 1960 to 111 million, making it the most populous Arab country and the third most populous country on the African continent.

However, Egypt is located in northeastern Africa, with a land area of ​​about 1 million square kilometers. It looks large, but 97% of the land is desert, and the average annual rainfall is only 200 mm. Simply put, there is a lack of water and arable land. Fortunately, Egypt still has the Nile River. About 95% of the population lives along the Nile River, the Nile Delta, and the Suez Canal.

This has become one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with an average of 1,540 people per square kilometer. The capital, Cairo, has become a "disaster area" for population.

Simply put, with the increase in population, Egypt's barren land can no longer support so many people, so what about the extra population? They can only go to big cities to find opportunities for survival, so more and more Egyptians have gone to Cairo to find job opportunities.

This has also caused the entire Cairo to rapidly develop into a large slum. Data released by the World Bank show that 60% of Egypt's population is poor or vulnerable, and the gap between the rich and the poor is serious. In Cairo, low-income groups and some middle-class people can only live in shanty towns, and only the rich can live in well-managed closed communities. In addition, garbage in Egypt has been piled up on both sides of the streets for a long time and has not been cleaned up. Some blocks do not even have sewers. A large number of slums are gathered around the city, and donkey-drawn carts, which are expressly prohibited by law, often appear on the streets. All these have led to the continuous deterioration of the living environment of Cairo people. According to data released by the German government's international cooperation agency, nearly 70% of urban residents live in more than 100 slums around the Greater Cairo metropolitan area.

Not only that, Cairo also has the four largest slums in Egypt, with a total population of over 3 million, of which the population of the "City of the Dead" slum is as high as 1 million.

The so-called City of the Dead was originally built by some local dignitaries in Cairo as a family cemetery. After hundreds of years of development, it has gradually become a huge slum. The City of the Dead is located in the suburbs of Cairo, and the total area of ​​the entire area is about 6 square kilometers. This was originally a place where Cairo people built cemeteries, so you can see tombs next to each other here. But next to the tombs are neat houses and courtyards, where people live.

The living and the dead live together, but everything does not seem to be inconsistent, which is also a major feature of Egypt.

Due to the large population, the city's infrastructure cannot keep up, so the public security in the city's slums is quite poor, and it is even difficult to find a policeman when you get into trouble.

In addition, in recent years, the world's shipping has been disturbed by the Atlantis people, and the Suez Canal has basically stopped. At the same time, due to the paralysis of shipping, Egypt's finances have problems, and it has also led to a decline in business. As a result, a large number of unemployed people have appeared in the city, and Egypt's food problem has also fallen into crisis (Egypt's food self-sufficiency rate is very low, and a large amount of imports are required). All these factors are added together.

As a result, the overall public security has rapidly declined, and the slums have also begun to fall into the actual "gang autonomy".

The police can't control there at all.

So when Tianqi and his team entered the City of the Dead, no one noticed it at all.

No one cared.

The Brotherhood paid to rent a large house there as a base.

When Tianqi walked in, he was not feeling well. This place was actually underground. According to the building specifications... This Nima was actually a mausoleum. It seemed that it was dug up by later generations and directly covered with residential houses.

This made Tianqi very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Tianqi was not picky.

On the contrary, he was very happy.

Because he saw the hope of controlling the country. Originally, he was going to use some tricks. But after looking at the crowded and resentful poor outside, as well as the poor sanitary and production environment, he knew that this country was a powder keg. Just a little spark could blow the whole country up.

In fact, it was almost the same.

Egypt is a very unlucky country. It basically has nothing. The national economy is close to collapse, and the people are suffering. Coupled with religious and secular conflicts, the whole society is full of hostility and resentment, and everyone seems to be looking for an outlet.

This is so fucking suitable for making trouble!

So he didn't care too much about the current living conditions.

Anyway, he was about to move out.

"Let everyone get to know this country, see how the people of this country live, and what their needs are. Next, I will arrange the follow-up actions."

Tianqi gave an order that no one understood. After all, their fundamental purpose has never been to liberate those ordinary people. Those who can come here are basically extremists. They don't take the initiative to massacre those ordinary people, which is already the biggest concession.

Of course, it is more likely that if they do this, they will definitely attract the attack of superheroes.

Everyone looked at the angel. By the way, he is now the archangel. They hope that the archangel can step up a little. They are not here to be saviors.

The Archangel walked up to Apocalypse and asked in a very tangled way: "My Lord... I am not resisting your order, but... why? We are different from them, we are more noble!"

Apocalypse was not angry at the Archangel's question.

Would you get angry because a child asked you why?

Of course not.

Apocalypse just sighed and felt that the children nowadays were really far behind.

"Tell me, my Archangel. What do you think we should do?"

"We..." The Archangel was a little afraid, but with the encouragement of Apocalypse, the Archangel continued: "We should take back the status we deserve. We are the future of mankind, we are a more advanced species, and we deserve everything."

This is also the ultimate pursuit of the theory of mutant supremacy, just like the ultimate goal pursued by the blacks and Jews active in Western society at this stage, they hope to become 'Dragon'.

"That's right! I'm for this, what do you think conquest and enslavement are?" Apocalypse likes the theory of mutant supremacy very much, after all, he is the true ancestor of this set!

"Is it still the same as thousands of years ago, making those ordinary people ragged and skinny as slaves working all day long?" Tianqi received information quickly. In just a few days, he understood the modern society. The relationship between ruling and being ruled has not changed even after thousands of years.

It's just that the way of explanation has changed.

In essence, it just makes it easier for the ruler to accept being ruled. Of course, there is still progress.

This gave Tianqi a lot of inspiration.

The bigger reason why he treated the Egyptians so badly was because of hatred.

His father and his tribe were killed by the Egyptians. Although their tribe suffered a lot and he himself did not live well, undergoing harsh training every day, the people in the tribe were really good to him.

The tribe was originally hungry, but even so, they would not let Tianqi go hungry.

They admired him and believed that Tianqi could lead them out of being oppressed and driven away by the Pharaoh and the Egyptians.

They are just a small nomadic tribe. They are not allowed to go near the Nile River, and they are not even allowed to enter larger oases. for they had been enemies of the Egyptians. They were targeted and driven away.

This was common in those days.

Sedentary people hate nomadic tribes running around, and most of them don't mind being bandits.

But to Tianqi, they are still different existences.

That's their family.

As a result, his family all died overnight.

So Apocalypse hates the Egyptians. Otherwise, he would have had many ways to rule the Egyptians instead of torturing and enslaving them. He was just out for revenge, otherwise why wouldn't he be in Cairo? Do you have to build a city on the ruins of your own tribe?

You know, their tribe came to that ghost place because they were driven away...a group with a poor environment. How could it be better than Cairo?

All because he wanted revenge.

Now, in the whole of Egypt...are there really any Egyptians?

The Egypt of today is very, very different from the Egypt of his time. Strange religions have replaced the polytheism of the past, and even the races are different. In modern Egypt, about 90% of its population are Arabs and belong to the Europa race. The remaining about 10% are mainly Copts, who are considered "mixed" descendants of the ancient Egyptians.

The Egyptians, who were originally ruled by Apocalypse, have long since disappeared.

So of course, Apocalypse doesn't have any ill feelings toward these Egyptians.

Just treat it as normal.

The Archangel shook his head, even the most extreme mutants knew this was impossible.

"So, we need to change, we need to dominate, and at the same time make good use of these stupid people. Aren't they dissatisfied with the status quo? We just take advantage of it! We don't necessarily need force to conquer this country! We just need to dominate. Yes, there are many types of slavery, Archangel, you should be very clear!"

Of course the archangel knows that, after all, Western countries are masters in this field. There are endless means of cultural infiltration, economic slavery, and so on.

"We need a prosperous country to bring us everything. After all, a king also needs subjects. Otherwise, who will help me earn our wealth? How will our power be reflected? Do you want mutants to help us? Let’s grow food and work for us in the factory?”

Tianqi said.

The archangel quickly understood Apocalypse's plan.

Apocalypse plans to establish a pyramid society in Egypt. The mutants will become the top of the pyramid, and the ordinary people who surrender to them will become the middle of the pyramid. Through them, the mutants will rule the entire country!

"So, what do we do?"

"Learn from those superheroes!" Tianqi gave the answer happily. "I have read all the news about superheroes. Their reputation is very good. Many people are willing to support them and even believe in them more than they believe in the government. This is good and this is what we need. In the United States, those superheroes are It is easier to do this in a country filled with resentment and turmoil. So, my children, get to know the country you are about to rule, kill the scum, and let all the confused people go! I support you, and now it’s time to harvest!”

Apocalypse looked at his 'children' with a smile, and the other mutants almost understood Apocalypse's thinking.

Apocalypse did not launch an armed coup as soon as he came up, but he planned to unite the people at the bottom and increase his legitimacy!
