Although nominally these are all areas under the jurisdiction of the World Government, there are still big differences in who has the final say.
Now the place is in a situation where the world government says that the French should have the final say, but in fact the Soviets have the final say, and the British and Americans also want to have the final say.
After all, there is the Suez Canal here, which is a vital thoroughfare. Maybe in the future, when spiritual energy is fully revived, humans will be able to run around in the sky at will. At that time, the canal may really not be needed. But this is just a "maybe", and no one knows what will happen in the future.
In this case, it is better to control the canal in our own hands.
Four of the five major powers think so.
One more abstained.
If the Soviets control the resurrected Sand King, then Egypt will probably be completely theirs. Even if Bright has a Coptic SSS-class, it will probably be of no use.
The King of Sand is a real pharaoh. Egypt is his legal territory, so he has a naturally high degree of legitimacy, strong claims, and may even have superpowers that are very suitable for use in the desert.
This meant that Blake's mission in Egypt was a complete failure and nearly ten years of hard work had gone to waste.
Blake couldn't accept it.
Presumably, the United States could not accept the result that Egypt fell into the Soviet sphere of influence and the Soviet Union gained a powerful super-powered person.
Although everyone is now a member of the World Government, who knows what will happen in the future? Where will the revival of spiritual energy lead the world? Will it be a full-scale war or peace in the future? No one knows.
Everyone is afraid that the future will be an era of chaos and war, and everyone is afraid that they will be defeated in the chaos.
Therefore, we must strengthen our own strength as much as possible while the World Government is still in place.
At least in the perception of Blake and Blake's friends, the Soviet Union has never been an "ally or companion", but just a fellow sufferer who was forced to share the same suffering under the general trend of spiritual revival.
Blake quickly weighed a series of political and international considerations, and then decided to leave the decision to CIA headquarters.
Yes, this is a major decision, so it’s more comfortable to pass the buck.
You make the decision, I won't take any responsibility.
Five minutes after Black reported to his superiors, the satellite communications operator reported: "Domestic call, from the White House."
Blake picked up the receiver in front of him: "Turn it over."
The next moment, the receiver began to speak the same voice that Blake had heard many times in various TV interviews.
"No one knows the Soviets better than me. They have obtained the power of the Pharaoh, which is definitely harmful to the United States. Stop them at all costs!"

Finally, I finished coding. The chairs in the hotel were uncomfortable. My waist...
Vote, everyone! Vote!
The Taoist priest will arrive in Nanjing this afternoon. Yes, that Taoist priest. I will help you to urge the update.
Also, I will never fight with Du Kang, absolutely not! If he punches me, I will flatten him.
Of course, if you get a lot of votes, I'll consider it.
Chapter 538 Peace and War
When Masha returned home, he began to think.
——If you want to find a girl now, Comrade Josephine has the highest chance of success.
——Although this entry seems to be most suitable for Cleopatra, but Cleopatra is still on the enemy side, who knows if she can be recruited.
——Josephine is still the most stable, but no one knows where she is now.
- We have to find a way to get Josephine out, trick her into joining the vigilantes, and then make her fall in love with the leader of the vigilantes.
In Josephine's understanding, it was the vigilante, not Marsha, who fulfilled her wish, so approaching her as a vigilante should be able to gain her loyalty as quickly as possible.
She can't be told that Masha is the vigilante leader until her loyalty is confirmed.
Masha was thinking about how to set up a trap to trick Josephine.
——First of all, we need a decent "vigilante base", and the underground facilities of the maid shop can come in handy.
——I’ll get some stuff over for the renovation tomorrow. It’s time for the tool man to show his skills again!
Masha was in very good spirits and didn't look like he was going to do a blue-collar job at all.
How can you not be happy when playing with building blocks?
This is the real joy of creation.
If Masha had not had much pocket money and could not afford to buy Lego, he would definitely be a big Lego fan.
Then Masha took out his laptop and happily began to plan the vigilante base.
Baiquan climbed onto the sofa where he was sitting, put his hands on his thighs, and looked at Masha's screen: "What are you doing?"
"Design a base for vigilantes."
"Oh, are you planning to trick that German?" Bai Quan came up with the correct answer immediately, showing the power of his extraordinary intelligence.
"Yes, so we need to make a place that looks like the secret base of the Justice Organization."
"I'll help too, but where are you going to build this secret base? In the wonderland of the planet? If she sees Stonehenge, won't it be exposed?"
Baiquan, you don’t know that there is a hidden world underneath the maid shop.
It wasn't that Masha kept it a secret from her, it was that she simply forgot to tell her.
The door leading to the food storage in the underground base has been blocked. Normally, no one in the maid shop would use this underground space unless otherwise specified. So if no one told Baiquan about this underground space, Baiquan would definitely not know about it. Even if she had extraordinary intelligence, it would be useless because she had no information about it.
Without intelligence, no matter how high your intelligence is, it will be useless.
Masha glanced at Baiquan and smiled slightly: "I'll take you to see the basement of the maid shop."
Bai Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Underground base! Is there such a great thing? Is there an underground railway leading to a huge underground space, and there is a lake in the underground space, and there is a pyramid beside the lake?"
"And the remains of Lilith are sealed under the pyramid, right?" Masha also became excited. His synchronization rate with Baiquan was really high.
Baiquan jumped off the sofa and stood next to Masha, with his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised, a serious face and squinting eyes.
Masha looked at her and understood that she was playing the role of Mr. Fuyutsuki, the "ghost behind the scenes" of Gendō Ikari.
Masha stood up, lifted Baiquan up and put her on a chair, then stood behind her and to the side: "You are too short, you can't imitate her height."
"I'm not short and fat!" Baiquan protested, but still obediently placed his hands on the table, posing in the classic pose of Gendō Ikari.
"It's started." Baiquan said in a low voice.
Masha: “Ah.”
At this time, the other girls were watching these two.
Guigui had never seen Neon Genesis Evangelion, so he asked curiously, "What are they doing?"
League Secretary: "Playing with the Neon Genesis Evangelion meme."
Before she finished speaking, Chihiro jumped out: "Unit-01's cockpit is ejected, the pilot must be retrieved!"
Ikari Shiraizumi: "It doesn't matter, just fight like this."
Chihiro Katsuragi: "But..."
"That's good!"
Hanaya Shuang: "It seems very interesting, I will play Akagi Ritsuko!"
However, the League Secretary had already put on glasses...
So, even though Masha and his crew had just returned from Egypt and had experienced a life-and-death battle, they actually, just like that, started playing COS on a whim!
Who would believe that this group of people could fool all the smart people in the world?
Yes, no one will believe it.
So really no one believes it!
The silly aura these people exude at all times and in all places is their biggest disguise!
**
While Masha and others were having fun, the situation in the Middle East was rapidly evolving.
An oasis somewhere in the desert - There is abundant groundwater in many places in the Sahara Desert, so there are a series of oases in the desert. It is not accurate to say that it is a forbidden zone for life. It is these oases that have supported the so-called "Sahara Trade Route" for thousands of years. This is a life channel that crosses the desert and connects the more developed North Africa with the relatively backward and closed Central Africa and West Africa.
People living in an oasis somewhere got busy. They loaded their hidden ammunition and weapons onto Toyota pickup trucks, and installed the carefully maintained light and heavy machine guns onto the pickup trucks' gun mounts.
All the treasured advanced weapons were also taken out.
Anti-armor missiles, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, and the extremely powerful 107mm magic arrow that can be fired by using a pile of earth as a launch pad and a battery to ignite it.
Naturally, only one supplier can produce such magical equipment.
At this moment, five or six such strongholds were active in the desert. Thousands of armed men boarded pickup trucks fully armed after praying for blessings from the god Amon.
The enemy is said to have a brigade and possibly air support.
But no one was afraid, for the god Amun protected them.

USS Carl Vinson in the Mediterranean Sea.
In the pilot briefing room, the flight captain was giving all the pilots a mission: "The target is the unknown armed elements gathered in the City of the Dead outside Cairo. We have received intelligence that they are disguising themselves as Egyptian troops and are robbing graves on a large scale. The North African region has formally submitted a request for military assistance to us."
The pilots looked at each other.
They are not fools.
One of the captains raised his hand and asked, "What if we blow up the real Egyptian army?"
"Didn't you bomb friendly forces enough?" The flight captain shrugged. "During the Gulf War, you inflicted much more casualties on our troops than did the Iraqi troops."
The pilots all laughed.
"Any other questions?" the flight captain asked loudly.
Another lieutenant pilot asked: "Does accidentally bombing friendly forces count as an achievement?"
"Okay." The captain replied immediately.
"Then we're fine."
"Okay, let's go!"
The captain clapped his hands and took out a cigar: "Victory cigars, old rules, one per person."

Last night, I listened to opera and drank with Taoist Master Du Kang and others. It was so relaxing, and then we got drunk.
I fell asleep as soon as I came back.
By the way, I went to see the memorial hall. When I first entered the hall, I was shocked by the survivor's gaze into the room. I'll send you a picture to give you an idea.
By the way, vote for recommendation! Remember to vote for recommendation!
I'm enduring the rubbish hotel chairs and updating despite a hangover. Can I ask for a ticket?
Chapter 539 The fight started
The first batch of attack planes have been lifted onto the deck.
Captain Tang, with the radio call sign "Lone Ranger", and his partner Captain "Silly Goose" Gu walked out of the island and walked towards their fighter planes.
"Have you heard?" "Dumb Goose" said to "Lone Ranger", "F35 will soon be equipped to our squadron."
"I really don't want to drive that sissy thing." The Lone Ranger was shocked.
"Don't say that. The Chinese have already started mass production of their advanced stealth fighters. Do you want to compete with the Chinese in a Super Tomcat?"
"Why not?" The Lone Ranger shrugged. "The performance of the machine cannot determine the outcome of the war."
"Come on! However, our opponents this time should still be MiGs and Sukhois. Our Super Tomcats should be enough."
The Lone Ranger nodded and looked at his phone.
"It's a good thing the Super Tomcat won the bid, otherwise we would have been driving the sissy Super Hornet."
