After confirming that Mr. Burns in front of him was indeed a member of the DuPont family, Chen Mo's attitude towards him quietly changed a little.

It's not that Chen Mo needs to curry favor with the DuPont family. He is a necromancer and a time traveler, so he doesn't care much about a DuPont family in the 1920s.

It's just that according to Chen Mo's plan, after he has dealt with Imerton's matter, he will control Egypt through Adebe and the others, and expel the British influence in Egypt.

Although the British have always implemented colonial rule in Egypt, it has to be said that the British have spent a lot of effort in building Egypt. In this era, Egypt is the most powerful and influential among many Arab countries and the most populous country.

Several cities that Egypt can afford at this time, such as Cairo and Alexandria, have great investment from the British.

The basic economic construction of Egypt is also not without the shadow of the British. For example, the famous Suez Canal and the Aswan Dam were both invested and built by the British in Egypt.

As for the cotton planting industry, one of the most important economic pillars in Egypt at this time, it was also invested and constructed by the British. Even Egypt was able to become independent from the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and the work done by the British was indispensable.

Although all of this is for the long-term occupation of the Egyptian colony by the British, it has to be said that the British still invested a lot of money and energy in Egypt at this time.

If the British are expelled now, Egypt will suffer severely economically.

Although it is not impossible to fall to other countries, Britain and France are now wearing a pair of pants, and the neighboring Ottoman Empire has been beaten to the ground in World War I, and Germany, which also cares about Egypt, is the same.

If Egypt wants to develop, prosper, and gain true independence, it cannot do without the support of other countries in this era.

After all, although the current British Empire has begun to decline, before the blood of the last Indian is shed, the British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world. Even if the army is not used, just an economic blockade is enough to make Egypt couldn't eat and walked away.

Especially the Suez Canal, the British Empire would rather let Egypt become independent than give up its power over the Suez Canal.

As a super shortcut connecting Europe and Asia, this canal can be said to have a pivotal position in the world, and it can bring huge benefits to the British Empire every year.

So if you want to really control Egypt, it is a good choice to expel the British and win over the Americans as their backing.

As for whether the Americans will take this opportunity to control Egypt, Chen Mo just wants to say that the current United States is not the United States that has enjoyed the dividends of World War II decades later. They will plunder certain benefits in Egypt, but they do not have the ability to control Egypt. Egypt.

The current United States is only a big economic country, and its political and international influence is still suppressed by the old powers such as Britain and France. To break this situation, it will have to wait until after the Second World War. Cleaned up, after the colonial system they relied on to maintain world hegemony was broken.

What's more, the Americans are still pursuing an isolationist policy at this time. They don't favor any side and only plunder economic benefits. Let them go against the British Empire, the world's largest power, for the sake of Egypt, a land far away from the Americas. willing.

Therefore, it was an inevitable choice for Chen Mo to expel the British forces in Egypt during this period, control Egypt with the help of the power vacuum created after the expulsion of the British, and conduct economic cooperation with the Americans to build his own basic market.

And to make friends with a DuPont family member, even if it is only a distant relative, to get them to invest in Egypt through his contact with the DuPont Group, although it is not something Chen Mo has to do, but it is also beneficial and cost-effective to follow the trend.

Just when Chen Mo and Burns were getting closer,

Ada Wang finally arrived at the museum, but she came alone, and the Egyptian scholar who was with her had disappeared.

"Miss Ada? Where's Mr. Allen? Didn't you go to Mr. Allen's house to get notes? Why are you the only one who came back?" Seeing that only Ada Wang came back alone, everyone was nervous stand up.

Ada Wang Chong greeted everyone, handed an old-looking notebook to Chen Mo, and then explained: "We encountered that monster at Mr. Allen's house, and the guide Benny you hired betrayed me." We fell into the arms of the monster, and he led people to attack me and Mr. Allen, and the monster took the opportunity to suck him dry.

This is Mr. Allen's notebook. He threw this to me at the last minute. After the monster sucked Mr. Allen dry, it turned into a cloud of yellow sand and swept Benny away. "

Hearing what Ada Wang said, everyone couldn't help showing fear and regret on their faces, but they didn't feel any sadness about the death of the Egyptian scholar.

Even if there are three Americans, they are nothing more than dead rabbits and foxes. After all, the three of them opened the box together with the Egyptologist. Now one of the four died, and the remaining three must be A little scared.

"Turning into yellow sand? It seems that our high priest's strength has begun to recover." Chen Mo had already opened his notebook at this time and was flipping through it. He turned to the curator and Adebe: "So do you have any way to deal with him? Didn't the Pharaoh leave any means of restraint when he slaughtered him?"

"We are the means of restraint, but we failed." Adebe shook his head regretfully, apparently blaming himself for not being able to prevent Imerton's resurrection.

On the other hand, the curator at the side said after thinking for a while: "At the beginning, Imerton was sentenced to be eaten by insects because he violated the taboo by murdering the Pharaoh and stealing the Black Book of the Dead. will be tortured forever.

When his body is obliterated by time, his soul will also dissipate. Originally, this should be the most perfect result, but because of your recklessness, he is resurrected now, and will bring terrible disasters to Egypt... ..."

As if he was commenting on the words of the curator, a rain of fire suddenly fell outside the window at this time, and a large fireball fell from the sky like a meteor, covering the entire Cairo like rain.

A group of people hurriedly gathered around the window, looking at the gradually chaotic and burning city outside, everyone was shocked and speechless.

Along with it, the sun in the sky also changes. A huge shadow is gradually covering the sun and swallowing the light.
