The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

The reason why the British agreed to Chen Mo's proposal to use undead souls to build the canal was naturally because they were greedy for the benefits brought about by the widening of the canal.

Who can refuse something that can make more money?

What's more, Britain has long had the idea of ​​widening the canal and improving its navigation capabilities.

It’s just that the British Empire was really hurt during the First World War. Naturally, the canal project that originally had an idea had to be shelved. After all, the British Empire was forced to abandon the principle of two powers. real thing.

After all, Britain has declared the independence of Egypt, and it is obviously impossible to squeeze Egyptian laborers like the French did back then.

If this is the case, the UK may not even be able to keep the canal area, and the French also spent money back then.

Wanting benefits, but unwilling to pay, the mentality of the British made them coyly acquiesce to Chen Mo's proposal to use undead to build the canal.

After all, when you have no money and want to do something, what makes you happier than free labor?

It is a common feature of human beings to go whoring for free. Who can refuse to go whoring for free?

The only problem is that the labor Chen Mo wants to use is undead, which will have a bad impact.

But it was the Egyptians who used the undead, not the British. After Chen Mo added the sentence "If you don't use the undead, the British will pay for it", the British also recognized this and promised to help cover up Chen Mo's use of the undead. To widen the Suez Canal thing.

As compensation for Chen Mo's 35% stake in the canal, the British agreed to help Egypt build another dam in the Aswan area. Of course, Chen Mo's dead souls were used as laborers.

When it comes to the Aswan Dam, the high dam, one of the seven largest dams in the world, was built by the Soviets in 1970, and before that, the British had built it in Aswan in 1902. A dam was built in the area and it was raised between 1907-1912.

If there is no accident, the British will raise the dam again in 1929-1933 to deal with the regular annual flooding of the Nile.

But even so, this dam was still in danger of overflowing the dam several times during the subsequent flooding of the Nile River, so it was reasonable to build another dam upstream.

The construction of the Aswan Dam and the widening of the Suez Canal are crucial to the development of Egypt's economy, and they are also what Chen Mo decided to do when he formulated his plan to control Egypt.

However, for the construction of the dam, Chen Mo did not intend to follow the method of the Aswan Dam built by Egypt and the Soviet Union in 1970, because although it greatly promoted the economic development of Egypt, it also destroyed the ecology of the entire Nile River. .

Not only did it cause the gradual salinization of the downstream river and land, the reduction of the area of ​​the Nile Delta, and the extinction of species populations at the mouth of the sea, it even turned Egypt, a grain-producing country that was originally self-sufficient in grain, into the world's largest wheat importer.

So if Chen Mo doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, he needs to build a different dam.

There is no problem in handing this over to the British. After all, they built the first dam. Except that it was too short and the flood control effect was not good, there were no problems in other aspects.

It not only restrains the flood, but also ensures the regular annual flooding of the Nile River. At the same time, it also allows the silt from the upper reaches to be carried downstream smoothly, which not only fertilizes the soil, but also maintains the ecology of the Nile River.

Perhaps the British didn't think so much when they built the dam, but the technology they used dealt with these problems very well. The dam operated by "storing clear water and discharging muddy water" not only solved the problem of sediment deposition, but also maintained the downstream ecological environment.

Of course, the British built water conservancy projects in Egypt not for charity and to help the Egyptians develop.

It was to promote cotton cultivation and turn Egypt into a cotton producing area for the UK.

Because of such interests, the British will put their heart into the construction of water conservancy projects in Egypt. Otherwise, the British Empire would not be so kind to build dams.

Chen Mo now wants to build a dam for the same reason. With the regulation of the dam, the Nile River will become more stable, and at the same time, water resources can be stored for use in dry seasons, which is conducive to the development of agriculture on both sides of the river.

Moreover, the dam itself is also an important power generation facility, and the development of modern industry cannot be separated from the supply of electricity.

Only with the stable power supply of the Aswan Dam can there be a basis for large-scale industrial development. Otherwise, the factory will not be able to operate without a power plant.

All in all, during the first three months when Chen Mo gained actual control over Egypt, he was basically busy with the rebuilding of Cairo City and taking over the entire Egyptian government.

The original royal family has already been killed by him, so naturally no one will jump out to question his right to rule.

The British announced to the outside world that Cairo was attacked by local opposition tribal forces. They captured Cairo and brutally killed the Egyptian king and senior government officials. As a result, Britain had to temporarily take over Cairo and Egypt. After fulfilling his duties, the actual control of Egypt will be returned.

Of course, this is only an official article published to the outside world. In fact, because there were still a large number of foreigners stranded in Alexandria at that time, they were not ignorant of what happened in Cairo.

So the "truth" of the matter naturally spread out in this way, and Chen Mo had already taken back the actual control of Egypt from the British, and asked the British to return to the Canal Zone.

In the various departments of the new government, after Ada Wang turned the most capable people among them and the first and second in command into vampires, there is no one who can oppose Chen Mo. On the contrary, these loyalties are guaranteed The government staff broke out with a work efficiency of 120%, which allowed the post-war reconstruction work to proceed very smoothly.

However, as a price, Chen Mo also had to find a way to raise a group of blood slaves to supply these staff, so as to prevent them from getting bloodthirsty and biting people all over the street.

As for the pharaoh guards, they joined the new government under the persuasion of the curator and Adebe, and became part of the army under the new government. They will be broken up and reorganized together with the original Egyptian army. Those former Umbrella mercenaries transformed into Darth Vaders are trained.

Originally, the British enthusiastically expressed that they could provide military instructors and British-made ordnance, but Chen Mo directly rejected the British proposal.

He would rather build his own military factory to produce ordnance bit by bit, and he would not hand over the important lifeline of his country's national defense to others, especially when he can produce better ordnance and military technology.
