Chapter 1747 Little Overlord in Action (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe)
The people in the Brotherhood seem to be very polite. From the Mary they met at the beginning, to the Night Lady, Eight Hands, and now the Archangel, everyone is very talkative, but in fact, the basis of all this is Based on the fact that Yelena is an Alpha level mutant.
Try it on a lower-level mutant.
In fact, even Apocalypse already knew that they had recruited an Alpha-level mutant. Even Apocalypse would pay attention to a mutant of this level. This is quite a powerful fighting force.
You must know that the entire Brotherhood can currently be called Alpha-level mutants, that is, the Four Horsemen and the Devil.
What's more, she's a natural alpha!
In other words, she can also be strengthened by Apocalypse. Although Apocalypse doesn't necessarily strengthen Yelena, it's not that she feels threatened or anything, Apocalypse doesn't care about this. Because no matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger. The real reason why he doesn't strengthen Yelena is very simple, that is, Yelena is a latecomer.
Tianqi is not a real reckless man. A real reckless man cannot accomplish such a big thing. Apocalypse's rule seems simple and crude, but in fact it still requires considerable wisdom. To know that such a cruel rule can still maintain the stable existence of a country for thousands of years, it cannot be done by simple cruelty.
Apocalypse does not lack wisdom.
Yelena does have great potential, but if, as soon as she comes, Apocalypse will give her grace and strengthen her. What will happen next?
Are the Four Horsemen going to succumb to her? What does this make the hardworking fraternity members think? It would be even more difficult if the Four Horsemen were still above her. To be honest with mutants, it is the strong who speaks. A mutant who is stronger than the Four Horsemen has to succumb to the Four Horsemen. So what does that strong person think? What do other people think?
So strengthening Yelena is too troublesome.
Just ignore her.
Anyway, Alpha is enough, and we’ll talk about it when it’s not enough... Isn’t it very sloppy, and feels inconsistent with Apocalypse’s character?
In fact, there are not so many calculations. This world is actually a world of making ends meet. No one will make calculations all the time. As long as you can grasp some minor details, it doesn't matter at all.
Back to topic.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, this time, we just need to cooperate with the military. We are not the main force. At least we will not be allowed to attack the army head-on."
In fact, even if the people below wanted to, Tianqi wouldn't let them.
There is no way around it. There are indeed many more mutants in society now than a thousand years ago, but there are more ordinary people than there are in this era! In terms of proportions, nothing changes. It's still too little. If you can't carry out a single charge, you'll have to deal with everything... How about freeing a bunch of mutants?
The mutant's ability is indeed very strange, but if you want to say that he is not afraid of bullets... then it is just a dream.
Even if the archangel is set on fire, he still has to kneel down.
Therefore, mutants are destined not to appear on the frontal battlefield. Their destination should be special operations. For frontal battles, they still have to rely on the Egyptian army!
"real?"
Of course Yelena will participate, but due to the limitation of her personality, she has to decline. If there is a similar explanation, it will be no problem.
"In addition, after the war, the treatment of all of you will increase! This time we seized and arrested and killed many high-level government officials, as well as some wealthy businessmen who colluded with the previous government. Their properties will be distributed to you. Whatever you want, Just tell me when the time comes!"
Now that we have seized power, we naturally have to divide the spoils.
The mutants represented by Apocalypse occupy the biggest cake, and those religious forces also get what they want.
On the first day after it seized power, the Egyptian government announced the establishment of a clerical state and implemented Islamic law throughout the country. Then the religious leaders naturally became political leaders, but they also had a great prophetic apocalypse above them.
A political system similar to Saudi Arabia and Iran was formed.
To be honest, Sharia law does have its advantages, because it involves all aspects of people's lives and can govern everything. For example, Saudi Arabia has always been a country based on Sharia law. Their courts are religious courts, and everything is governed by Sharia law.
Of course, there are still many citizens in Egypt who do not want to implement Shariah.
Therefore, the Apocalypse also stipulates that the major cities in Egypt can not operate strictly in accordance with the teachings. There is no way, there are so many people who have experienced secular education, one size cannot fit all, right?
However, Apocalypse is still in talks with major religious leaders in this regard. What he wants is a stable Egypt to support the entire mutant population, not a society where religion is respected. What's more, letting a group of extremist religious figures take control of the country is extremely detrimental to Apocalypse. If he wants to create a situation where secular and religious power cannot be broken, he can maintain a stable situation and he will never have to worry about being ostracized. , because he is the referee and they all need to please him!
However, this requires very cumbersome negotiations.
Fortunately, Apocalypse has super intelligence, the support of the army and mutants, and great righteousness, so the religious forces will definitely give in.
But it is undeniable that the whole of Egypt has become a clerical state.
This is also what scares the little bully.
…
"You want me to go to the Middle East?" Kai was still at home at the moment, but Benjamin called.
Benjamin is also bitter.
He didn't expect that the mutants would make such a big fuss. Although the United States has begun to shrink globally, its support for the little bully has also weakened unprecedentedly... But the conjugation of father and son cannot be broken in one or two sentences. How to say it, break the bones With tendons attached!
They are already conjugated as father and son, so how can this be a normal relationship?
So after the coup in Egypt, the bullies launched all their efforts to lobby in the United States, hoping that American dad would help them.
What is the attitude of the US government?
I want to take care of it, but I don’t have the ability.
First of all, the U.S. Navy has not yet been completely rebuilt.
The industry in the United States has developed in recent years. After all, the destruction of the shipping industry has left the United States with nowhere to import many industrial products. Although China provides industrial products, there is one issue that must be paid attention to.
In the past, the United States needed Chinese industrial products because China's industrial products were cheap.
But now only China's shipping industry in the world can still operate. In this case, the market economy has decided that China's industrial products are dumped all over the world, which has also caused the prices of industrial products to skyrocket!
There's no other way, it's the free market.
Under such circumstances, the U.S. government can only vigorously support industrial recovery.
The United States is pretty good, at least its industrial foundation is still there and it can work hard to develop its own industry. Other Western countries are in dire straits, especially those who have been deceived. They don't have much domestic industry at all, and they have to start all over again.
In any case, the United States has been clamoring for industrial reshoring for many years, and now it finally has some clues.
But for various reasons, the time for the United States to rebuild its navy can only be pushed back again and again... There is no way, the White House can't completely ignore the domestic situation and spend all the money to develop the navy, right?
The navy is not just about rebuilding. In the navy, you have to build ships first, right?
The United States today is not the United States during World War II. During World War II, the United States was one of the most powerful industrial countries in the world and built a large number of aircraft carriers. However, as times changed, the U.S. shipbuilding industry gradually experienced a decline. In the 40 years since 1983, more than 17,000 companies in the U.S. shipbuilding industry and its upstream and downstream companies have closed down. Today, there are only two shipyards left in the United States that can build warships, and only one shipyard that can build aircraft carriers. In fact, not only the Navy's shipyards, but the entire military industry in the United States are currently in a bleak situation. There are various problems in both maintenance and manufacturing.
When news broke out about the maintenance of Ford-class aircraft carriers before, it was discovered that the largest shipyard in the United States, Nubert News, was short of relevant aircraft carrier spare parts. The number of missing spare parts was huge, as high as more than 5,500 types. In addition, according to the latest news released by the U.S. Defense Post, the launch of the Ford-class USS Kennedy aircraft carrier built in the United States will be postponed again. The final possible launch time will reach 14 years, which means that from the beginning of construction to the deadline of launch , the time it takes to go through this.
From the previously exposed repairs of more than 5,500 parts and components to the repeated delays in the current aircraft carrier project, we can see how serious the problems of the US military industry are!
This is the lack of the entire industrial system!
So if you want to rebuild the navy, you must first rebuild the industry!
This has also led to the fact that the reconstruction of the navy is far away.
Without a navy, what can the United States do to help its little overlord?
The US military is very generous and is willing to provide some ammunition...but the bully has to spend money!
Many high-level officials in the United States are quite willing to help the bully, whether it is from historical relations, senses, or even personal feelings. After all, the relationship has been going on for many years. The lobby group of the bully in the United States spends so much money on lobbying every year. At the top level of the United States, money is not wasted.
But the problem is that the United States has neither money nor ability.
Without the navy, would the Americans dare to go there? What can Americans do if they don’t have money?
But those lobbying groups won’t give up. They began to mobilize the bully's tribe in the United States. I have to say here that it is a bit ridiculous to say that Americans are controlled by the Little Overlord’s tribe, but there is no doubt that the Little Overlord’s tribe does have a very, very large influence in the United States.
Since the United States can't take action, then American superheroes can always do it, right?
So there was this phone call.
"Yes, the mutants are making too much noise. So..."
"I refuse! Are you out of your mind? How on earth can I care about other countries' affairs? I'm not the world's policeman!"
To be honest, Kai did have the intention to deal with mutants at the beginning, but now the nature of the matter has completely changed. Someone else came to power and became the legal government of Egypt... Well, this legality needs to be verified, but what does it have to do with him?
No matter which way you look at it, Kai is untenable! The Egyptians themselves don't object to it much, so who is he? He just wants to make choices for the Egyptians? Do the Egyptians know who he is?
Keke doesn’t have an American mindset. He thinks he is the world’s policeman and wants to control everything?
"Or are you saying that the U.S. government is so idle that you want us to mind the government's business?"
Kai is using someone else's gun to stab someone else's horse.
Kai has a tacit understanding with the US government, he does his superhero job and fights criminals, but the government's business... stay out of it! Let’s keep our noses in the water!
But now Benjamin wants to break this tacit understanding... Compared to Egypt, which is far away, the US government has bigger problems, right?
"Ahem...how can it be the same? You are also trying to save the Egyptian people."
A typical American exceptionalism has appeared!
The United States can accuse others of not having freedom of speech, but it is the most fucking unfree here, but it still doesn't allow people to say it.
Americans accuse others of not having human rights, but what about themselves? They treat human rights as farts!
Americans accuse others of starting wars, but what is the result? From World War II to now, the world's wars are basically related to the United States, and it has also started N wars!
There are so many similar examples.
In a word, "America is an exception!"
It is a shameless statement.
"But you are indeed destroying the tacit understanding between us... What else makes you think that I have become a running dog of the government? Are you mentally healthy? What's the matter? When did I get a salary from the US government? Or did I do something that made you misunderstand that I would let you guys order me around? Fuck! I am capital! Big capital! Get it clear! Benjamin, I am a capitalist! This is the United States, the beacon of the capitalist world! When can the US government order capitalists to do things? In a sense, I am yours. Boss! You asked your boss to help a poor relative who has nothing to do with you? What were you thinking? No, you don't have any Little Overlord bloodline in your whole life, right? Why are you pretending to be a Little Overlord? How can a noble Little Overlord like you be able to touch porcelain? That's it, really, you don't do your job all day, worrying about this shit... I will never vote for you in the next election! "
Benjamin took the phone away from his ear with a wry smile, looked at the people in front of him with a wry smile, and then said: "See, others don't want to."
Is Benjamin willing to help the Little Overlord?
The answer is, no!
In fact, it's not just him, most of the senior officials in the United States are not willing to do it.
It's the same old saying that things are different now, and the United States doesn't have that ability, you know.
They can't bleed themselves to feed the Little Overlord. Although there are things like conjugated father and son, in fact, both sides are more of a combination of interests.
At the same time, the Little Overlord seems to be in a good position in the United States, but in fact, they have many opponents.
"It seems that Mr. Wayne is a racist! How can he be anti-Semitic!" A person opposite Benjamin immediately took out his ancestral stick and hit Kai with a straight ball. Anti-Semitism is a very serious accusation in the United States!
It's more serious than being a racist.
But unfortunately, this thing... is really not popular now!
Just said, the Little Overlord in the United States is not without enemies. The biggest enemy is Angsa Capital!
The Little Overlord has been really prosperous in recent years, and a large part of the reason is that it relies on the Little Overlord tribe in the United States. They have a lot of capital, and the development of these capitals is destined to squeeze the share of other capitals.
Among them, Angsa Capital is the biggest victim.
