In the end, only the two of them know what the Archangel and Apocalypse talked about. →But it seems that they had a good chat, at least... After the Archangel came out from Apocalypse, he felt much more relaxed. As soon as the Archangel came out, he ran into Apocalypse's personal guard, Medusa.

Medusa is also a very peculiar existence in the Brotherhood, because the Brotherhood is small... This thing can't be big, after all, there are only so many people. This also makes every useful person in the Brotherhood very busy.

After all, such a big country can't be left alone. Power is a very, very interesting thing, and anyone who has it will be fascinated by it. And those who let power go will have power flow away from their hands immediately.

As a lesson from history, if a leader is too easy to talk to and does not focus on centralization, he may be usurped by his subordinates, because power is a good thing, and everyone doesn't like it. If the leader does not centralize power, power will flow away, and if power flows away, subordinates will usurp power. When subordinates enjoy the taste of power, they will definitely rebel in order to obtain power. Therefore, if leaders want to prevent subordinates from usurping power, they must firmly grasp power. All work related to power must be checked personally to prevent subordinates from plotting against the law.

Not only must we firmly grasp power, but we must also increase our vigilance against power. Any threat to the security of power must be nipped in the bud. For example, if subordinates are capable, they are very likely to replace the position of the leader. In order to ensure the security of power, leaders will severely suppress capable people to eliminate power risks.

From the perspective of the organization, capable people create high value and can enhance the value of the company. They should be reused. However, from the perspective of the leader, capable people must be suppressed because of their strong ability. Otherwise, if the leader is promoted to a higher position, he will be kicked out. Therefore, the interests of the leader and the interests of the organization are sometimes inconsistent.

There is no gap in power, because there will always be someone to fill it.

For example, when the grassroots power of a country is empty, the so-called "hidden rules" will naturally form among the people to fill such gaps.

The most typical example of this is the gang. The existence of gangs is caused by the government's lack of power at the grassroots level. The most obvious example is the formation and growth of the Maozi gangs. At the beginning, the iron fist of the benevolent father made almost all the gangsters and gangs in the country go to the Siberian Gulag to grow potatoes. This basically eliminated the so-called underworld organizations.

But in the later period, the national economy was sluggish, leading to the popularity of private black markets. And many of these black markets are spontaneous among the people, because the people have this demand. But the Soviet government did not control it... or the control was not strict. Again, this is spontaneous among the people.

Even many officials are the backstage of these black markets.

But officials absolutely cannot manage the black market in person, so some "civilian" people "take the initiative" to help manage it.

This became the prototype of the initial gangs. These people used the black market interests to have their first pot of gold, and then grew and expanded. When it came to the disintegration period, these people took their first pot of gold and began to collude with government officials at the time to embezzle a large amount of state-owned assets. As the national bank was paralyzed at that time, they began to develop commercial loans among the people, thus intervening in the economy and forming a virtuous cycle, starting to make money.

Soon, oligarchs and gangs were formed!

This is the danger of grassroots power getting out of control. For example, the ancient Chinese gentry landlord class is also the same. Because the power of the central government does not extend to administrative units below the county, the local masters replaced the government and began to take over some powers that originally belonged to the government. They mastered the power of life and death in the local area.

Finally, it led to land annexation, and a large number of self-cultivating farmers became tenants, and then a vicious cycle. Gentry landlords naturally could not pay taxes. They controlled local power, and officials needed to rely on them to govern the local area. If the masters were not satisfied, they could drive away the court officials at any time.

Local finance, taxation, and public security all require their cooperation.

So the government could only collect taxes from those self-cultivating farmers, so more self-cultivating farmers became tenants or even hidden households, becoming the private property of local masters. Then the tax revenue will decrease, and the court will continue to collect taxes from the self-cultivating farmers who are gradually decreasing, and continue to make the self-cultivating farmers lose their land.

In the end, the local lords can no longer accept so many tenants and hidden households, so these people become refugees.

At this point, the world will be in chaos.

Then the cycle will start again.

I have gone too far. In a word, power must be grasped. It is impossible to let go. If you let go, it will be given to others. Then who are they working hard for?

So even if it is not done well, you must grasp the power.

All the people who can move will do things.

If you don’t know government affairs, it’s simple, go to the army or the police department. If it doesn’t work, go directly to the inspection department and the judicial system, and at most recruit a few professionals. In a word, the Brotherhood must be the power subject!

But even in this case, Medusa still stayed with Apocalypse and never did anything.

Of course, the people in the Brotherhood didn’t trust her.

After all, everyone knew her true identity, so they naturally had a grudge against her.

"Good day, Lady Medusa."

But no matter what, Medusa is the 'daughter' of Lord Apocalypse, so no matter who she is, she will give her the greatest respect... Of course, it's just respect.

"Good day." Medusa said coldly and walked forward. She ignored the archangel.

"Wait a minute, Lady Medusa." The archangel immediately shouted: "Lord Apocalypse has a mission that needs your help."

Medusa is very powerful, and the Archangel never denies this.

It's just that his identity still makes the Archangel a little hesitant, but since Apocalypse has said it, the Archangel can only listen.

And to be honest, Medusa is really strong!

Medusa's main weapon is her hair. She can control the density of her hair and make it very hard. Don't underestimate this mutant ability. In fact, this ability is very, very powerful. She can also control the growth rate of her hair and extend or spread it at will. She can even use her hair to cut steel. Her single hair has unimaginable sharpness and hardness. She can set up a net by herself. She can use her hair to directly catch the flying rockets and cut them into pieces.

At the same time, Medusa can also use her mind to control the movement of her hair, which can attack or bind the target. Even if her hair is cut off, Medusa can still use her mind to control the broken hair to attack.

In other words, she can also use her hair as a long-range attack.

It's simply an attack and defense in one, which can be far or near.

She can even control her hair to do many, many unimaginable things.

In short, it's very strong.

Medusa stood still, then looked at the archangel expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

"Uh... I'll tell you when the time comes." The archangel did not reveal what he was going to do, but just said so.

Medusa was not angry at all, but just said expressionlessly: "Just tell me when the time comes."

After that, she turned around and left.

The archangel stood there a little overwhelmed and watched Medusa leave.

He didn't know how to face this woman.

After all... she is Natasha!

Thinking of this, he felt that maybe he should give her a little trust, after all, Lord Apocalypse personally modified her memory, there shouldn't be any problems.

After standing for a while, the archangel left.

However, what is unknown is that Medusa is not as calm as she looks.

Because not long ago, she suddenly had some problems with her body.

She originally wanted to report it to her father as soon as possible, but for some reason, she was very resistant to this choice deep in her heart.

After that, the reaction in her body became more and more serious.

She even began to hear hallucinations.

It was a woman's voice, and she told herself that she was not the mutant Medusa, but another person.

She thought about responding to that voice, but... unfortunately, she didn't know how to respond.

Medusa was very loyal to Apocalypse, but she couldn't reject the abnormality of her body in her heart.

This made Medusa very distressed.

...

Yelena put down the phone in her hand.

This is not an ordinary mobile phone, but outsiders can never see any clues from this thing, because it is indeed no different from an ordinary mobile phone. It can make calls and receive calls, even if it is disassembled and checked.

In fact, it is almost the same. It is not much more advanced than other phones.

The only difference is that it has only one more function.

You can talk on a special frequency.

And the person to whom you are talking is only one person, that is Medusa.

After many investigations, Yelena confirmed that Medusa is Natasha. So she sent this information out as quickly as possible... Here we have to say that the Brotherhood's counterintelligence ability... is actually quite average.

Their counterintelligence work is also quite simple and crude, using psychics to detect.

But psychics are very rare, and there are only a few people in the Brotherhood.

How can these few people build any useful counterintelligence agency?

And the counterintelligence agency that originally belonged to the Egyptian government... that's even worse!

Let's put it this way, if a country's food and industry need to be imported from outside to ensure domestic supply and demand, you can basically not guarantee any autonomy for this country. Because these two are the most basic needs of a country, no matter what it is, it needs to be carried out around these two.

If these two cannot be independent, don't expect economic independence.

The current situation is that compradors are rampant.

The fundamental nature of the superstructure is determined by the economic foundation. If the economy is not independent, don't expect political independence.

If politics is not independent, how strong can you expect their intelligence agencies to be?

In fact, the previous intelligence agencies were more like a decoration. Not to mention the workload of counterintelligence, even their intelligence agencies don't know how many spies and intelligence personnel from other countries there are. It can be said to be a mess.

In this case, it is simply a dream to expect them to prevent super agents like Yelena from conducting intelligence work.

So Natasha's situation soon came to Kai's hands.

Natasha did not die, which is definitely good news. But she was controlled by the enemy and even became a mutant, which is a bit puzzling. Fortunately, SHIELD quickly gave a solution. At that time, SHIELD used vibranium to make a batch of nanorobots, and these nanorobots were finally injected into Hawkeye and Natasha's bodies.

Let them have extraordinary physical strength and wound repair ability, and also let them have the ability to change their faces.

Although Natasha was brainwashed into Medusa, Apocalypse did not know what nanorobots were. In fact, let alone the time when she just woke up, even now, if you ask him to talk about nanorobots, he would not know.

After all, Egypt does not have such high-end stuff.

No matter how powerful Apocalypse is, he can't understand something he has never seen.

In short, by accident, Natasha's things are still left in Medusa. And this is a breakthrough.

Although they can't control those nanorobots, they can use special bands to contact them. It can barely be regarded as a communicator, but this thing can only speak, not reply.

Nanorobots can't be equipped with so many functions... This is also the reason why Tony's nano mecha has never been successful. He wants too many functions, and the current technology can't do it, so it's stuck there, but it is said that there are already clues.

This guy's scientific research ability is completely open.

In short, Yelena got the communicator, but it took a long time to prepare before contacting Medusa, for fear that Medusa would tell Apocalypse about the matter. Then all efforts would be in vain.

As a result, Medusa didn't report.

Although the reason is unknown, Yelena thinks this is a good opportunity to subtly influence Medusa and let her remember that she is Natasha.

Of course, it seems that progress is slow at present.

But it doesn't matter, everyone is not so anxious, after all, everything is possible when you are alive, just go slow.

...

Everything is undercurrent.

Egypt has begun to rejoice.

Although they did not completely eliminate the little bully, they finally defeated the little bully, and the little bully asked for peace! This made the whole of Egypt boil!

Once upon a time, Egypt was the boss of the Arab world. Although they thought so until the Apocalypse coup. But in fact, Egypt's influence on the Middle East has been minimal. Many times Egypt calls itself the most powerful country in Africa... They didn't like to mix with Africans before.

After all, Egypt is an Arab country, and its people are Arabs. Who is willing to talk about relatives with black uncles?

But this is not a solution.

Since Sadat signed a peace treaty with the little bully and recognized the little bully, Egypt has stepped down from the position of the boss of the Arab world. The Middle East really doesn't listen to them, and the economy is not good. It can't be compared with those oil countries. Isn't it the end of the world?

This also made many Egyptians very dissatisfied with their situation. Who doesn't want to restore the former prestige?

Unfortunately, the reality is that the upper class of the country is pro-Western and pro-Little Bully, while the middle and lower classes are anti-Western and anti-Little Bully. The country is divided like this, so naturally there is no chance of revival.

As a result, the new prophet actually defeated the Little Bully!

Just look at the name to know how awesome the Little Bully is. They have always beaten others, and no one dares to stab them. They beat up all the surrounding countries.

As a result, Egypt has won now!

Although in the end, they didn't occupy any land or destroy the Little Bully, but winning is winning!

It's enough for everyone to go to the streets to celebrate.

The conditions for the Little Bully's peace talks are very generous, and the Brotherhood has gained a lot of benefits from the Little Bully. Of course, this is nothing, after all, the Little Bully is just a small country. There is not much. What is really important is the good things exchanged from Western countries.

Tianqi has brought a lot of funds and food from Western countries!

Especially food! This is life-saving!
