The knight in the big world of American TV series

Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt, as well as the largest city in Africa and the Arab world.The city is located at the southern end of the Nile Delta in the northeastern part of Egypt, across the Nile River. It is majestic and spectacular. It is the political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center of the entire Middle East.Cairo consists of the governorates of Cairo, Giza and Qalyoub, 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 constructed and expanded by successive dynasties and governments, forming this large city where ancient and modern coexist and reflect each other.

In Cairo, the buildings that can be seen everywhere are mosques and minarets.In Arabic, the minaret is called a minar, which refers to the place where the muezzin stands to call people to prayer.Since the 7th century, as Islam has spread widely in West Asia and North Africa, the art of mosque architecture has continued to develop, and minarets have evolved into various styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture and a major landmark in Cairo. Highlights.

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

In 30 BC, the Roman Empire invaded Egypt and repaired and expanded the ancient Persian and Greek city of Babylon (now the old Cairo area).Later, towns such as Askar and Katje were established nearby.By 969 AD, the Fatimid dynasty finally conquered Egypt and built a city and capital north of the town of Fustat that year, naming it Cairo.During the reign of Saladin in the twelfth 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 change of the Arab dynasties, the invasion of the Ottoman Empire and the French King Napoleon, it was not until the early 19th century, when Muhammad Ali became the ruler of Egypt, that Cairo truly became the political center of Egypt.Historically, despite its ill-fated fate, Cairo has fortunately never suffered a devastating war in the past 1000 years.Most of the historical buildings in the city have survived, and some old towns even retain a certain medieval style.

From a small new city in the north of Fustat, Cairo has transformed into a super metropolis with a population of more than 2000 million through continuous expansion.Today, Cairo is the most populous and largest city in the Arab and African countries, and 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: rapid population growth and excessive density; urban infrastructure cannot keep up, and urban sanitation is poor; serious traffic congestion; many dilapidated and old buildings...

I believe that the first impression of everyone who has been to Cairo is that it is crowded and the traffic jams make you doubt your life.

Egypt has experienced a population explosion over the past 60 years.According to United Nations data, Egypt's population has almost quadrupled since 1960, reaching 1.11 million people, 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 ​​approximately 100 million square kilometers.It doesn't look small, but 97% of the country is desert, and the average annual rainfall is only 200 mm.To put it simply, there is a lack of water and cultivated 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.

Here, it has become one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with an average of 1540 people per square kilometer.The capital, Cairo, has become a "heavily hit area" in terms of population.

To put it simply, as the population increases, Egypt's barren land can no longer support so many people. So what will happen to the extra people?They could only go to big cities to find survival opportunities, so more and more Egyptians went to Cairo to look for job opportunities.

This has also caused the entire Cairo to rapidly develop into large slums. Data released by the World Bank shows that 60% of Egypt's population is poor or disadvantaged, and the gap between the rich and the poor is serious.In Cairo, low-income groups and part of the middle class can only live in shantytowns, while only the rich can live in relatively well-managed gated communities.In addition, garbage has accumulated on both sides of the streets in Egypt and has not been cleared for a long time. Some neighborhoods do not even have sewers. A large number of slums are gathered around the city. Donkey-drawn carts, which are 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 more than 300 million, of which the "City of the Dead" slum has a population of up to 100 million.

The so-called City of the Dead was originally built by some local dignitaries in Cairo to build family cemeteries here.After hundreds of years of development, it has gradually turned into a huge slum. The City of the Dead is located on the outskirts of Cairo, with a total area of ​​about 6 square kilometers.This was originally a place used by Cairo people to build cemeteries, so you can see tombs next to each other here.But next to the tomb are neat houses and courtyards, and there are still people living in them.

The living and the dead live together without seeming to be incompatible, which is also a major feature of Egypt.

Due to the large population, urban infrastructure cannot keep up, so security in the city's slums is very poor. It is difficult to find a police officer even if something happens in there.

In addition, in recent years, the world's shipping has been disrupted by the Atlanteans, and the Suez Canal has basically been shut down. At the same time, due to the paralysis of shipping, Egypt has financial problems, and it has also led to business recession. Therefore, in the city There is a large number of unemployed people, and Egypt's food problem is also in crisis (Egypt's food self-sufficiency rate is very low and requires a large amount of imports), all factors add up.

As a result, the overall public security declined rapidly, and the major slums began to fall into de facto "gang autonomy."

The police can't control it at all.

So when Tianqi and the others entered the City of the Dead, no one noticed them at all.

Nobody cares.

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

When Tian Qi walked in, his whole body felt bad.This place is actually underground. According to the construction specifications... this place is actually a mausoleum. It seems that it was dug up by later generations and directly built into a residence.

This made Tianqi very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Tianqi is not picky.

On the contrary he was happy.

Because he saw the hope of taking control of the country.Originally, he planned to use some means.But after looking at the crowded and resentful poor people outside, as well as the poor sanitation and production environment, he knew that this country was a powder keg, and just a little spark could blow the entire country into the sky.

In fact it's pretty much the same.

Egypt is a very unlucky country. It basically has nothing to lose. The national economy is close to collapse and the people are miserable. Coupled with the conflicts between religion and secularity, the whole society is full of hostility and resentment. Everyone seems to be looking for an outlet. .

This is perfect for causing trouble!
So he doesn't care too much about the current living conditions.

He's moving out soon anyway.

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

Apocalypse gave an order that no one understood.After all, their fundamental purpose has never been to liberate ordinary people. Those who can get here are basically extremists.It was already the biggest concession that they did not take the initiative to massacre those ordinary people.

Of course, what is more likely is that if they do this, they will definitely attract a blow from superheroes.

Everyone looked at the angel, and by the way, he was the archangel now.They hope that the archangel can stand out a little bit, they are not here to be the savior.

The archangel walked up to Tianqi and asked in a very troubled manner: "Sir... I am not resisting your order, but... why? We are different from them, we are more noble!"

Apocalypse was not angry when faced with the Archangel's question.

Do you get angry when a child asks you why?of course not.

Tianqi just sighed, feeling that today's children are 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 get back the status we deserve. We are the future of mankind, we are a more advanced species, we Deserve to have it all.”

This is also the ultimate pursuit of the theory of mutant supremacy. It is the same as the ultimate goal pursued by blacks and Jews active in Western society at this stage. They hope to become 'Draons'.

"That's right! That's what I'm here for. What do you think conquest and enslavement are?" Apocalypse likes the idea of ​​mutant supremacy very much. After all, he is the true ancestor of this idea!
"Is it still the same as it was thousands of years ago, with ordinary people in ragged clothes and skinny slaves working all day long?" Apocalypse received information very quickly. In just a few days, he understood the modern society. , ruling and being ruled, this relationship has not changed even in the world thousands of years later.

Only 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 great inspiration.

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

His father and his tribe were killed by the Egyptians.Although their tribe is very difficult, and he himself is not living a good life, and goes through harsh training every day, the people in the tribe are really good to him.

Originally, the tribe did not have enough to eat, but even so, they would not let Tianqi go hungry.

They revered him and believed that revelation could lead them out of being oppressed and driven out by 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 towards these Egyptians.

Just treat it normally.

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 ignorant 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 know it very well!"

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 should we do?"

"Learn from those superheroes!" Apocalypse answered 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 obviously easier to do this in a country full of resentment and turmoil! So, my children, learn about the country you are about to rule, kill the scum, and let all the confused people 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!
