I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 347 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Alder looked at the exchange point quietly for a while, took out his laptop from his backpack, and opened a blank document.

As a writer, of course I have to write a report on such a major event that affects the course of history.

Older pondered for a while, and his ten fingers began to move rapidly.

Letters appeared on the screen one by one, and words popped up one by one.

"Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in Daxia, and also the last day of the Daxia New Year holiday.

“I was in a hotel in Dongfang City, but I saw people standing in a long line in the snow, enduring the terrible cold, exchanging their Shapudian currency for Xiayuan.

"Because the Daxia people set a strict time limit. If the deadline is exceeded, the money they earned with their blood and sweat will become a pile of waste paper."

Many people know that CDD News is best at all kinds of sarcasm.

Alder is one of the best.

This guy is what is commonly known as the "old hermaphrodite".

So he quietly created an atmosphere between the lines - the poor Shapudian people were forced by the Daxia people to queue up in the severe cold to exchange currency.

Auld said nothing, and every Shapdian in the team was dressed in cold weather clothing, and there was no doubt that they would stay outdoors for an hour or two.

In his homeland, the Blue Lion Kingdom, the price of cold-resistant clothing is very high, and many poor people simply cannot afford it, but almost every Shapdian owns one.

There were also several patrol police officers patrolling around the exchange point, and there were drones hovering in the sky, closely monitoring the situation of the crowd to avoid any unexpected situations.

Several volunteers wearing red vests were distributing free hot ginger soup to those in line, and most of the people in line had smiles on their faces.

At first glance, the scene looks very harmonious.

This spicy drink made from ginger has become very popular in Shapudian recently.

It is said that ginger soup can effectively prevent colds, and if you have already caught a cold, it also has a certain therapeutic effect.

But Olde didn't believe a word of it.

He glanced out the window and muttered, "Superstitious and ridiculous Eastern witchcraft!"

Olde thought for a few seconds and started typing on the keyboard again.

“I specifically looked up the exchange rate data for the Shapdian dollar. Before the natural disaster era, 285 Shapdian dollars could be exchanged for 1 Xia dollar.

“The exchange rate has now become an incredible 1540 Sand Dollars to 1 Sand Dollar, and it is obvious that the Sand Dollars are being cruelly exploited.

"In this way, the Daxia people ruthlessly plundered the wealth accumulated by the Shapudian people throughout their lives."

Outside the window.

Every Shapudian who walked out of the exchange point was smiling happily.

Such a scene obviously does not fit the description of "suffering cruel exploitation".

But Alder ignored this fact.

In fact, he knew very well that before the exchange was implemented, even if the currency of Shapdian was not worthless, it was not far from becoming worthless.

Because you can’t buy anything with a sand dollar.

Xia Yuan is the real hard currency in this land.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Daxia are willing to recycle waste paper at a ratio of "1540:1", and every Shapudian is overjoyed.

Older smiled and said, "This is the charm of journalism. Different arguments can produce different 'facts'."

His ten fingers flew and a line of words flowed out.

“Bahia’s financial exploitation of the Shapudians did not stop there, and this backward country paid a much greater price.

“As many as hundreds of mines and a large amount of land were transferred to the state-owned company of Dongfang Daxia at a very low price as compensation for the currency exchange.

"This is absolutely ridiculous."

If we look at it from the perspective of the processed "facts", this is indeed absurd to the extreme.

But from the actual facts, Daxia paid real money, recycled the Shapudian yuan that was almost like waste paper, and distributed money to all Shapudian people.

Shapudian transferred a batch of undeveloped minerals and land as compensation, which was a very fair deal.

What's more, Shapudian has no ability to develop these minerals and lands, so just leaving them there is just like picking up money.

Alder glanced out the window again and saw that the line was getting longer.

obviously.

The people of Shapudian rarely encountered such a good thing, so they brought their waste paper from home to exchange for Xia Yuan.

Olde looked at it for a while, then started typing again.

"What is even more alarming is that Daxia is relying on its own strength to rapidly expand its financial hegemony and subvert..."

He paused and tapped out the word "subversion".

Olde tapped on the keyboard and typed in another word with a more negative connotation - destruction.

“…disrupted the financial order of Canglan Star, and Shapudian was obviously the first victim.

“The Shapudians were forced to give up the Sand Dollar, which was tantamount to giving up their country’s financial sovereignty.

“The Daxia people only need to start their money printing machines, or even click a few mouses to get some digital currency, and they can take away the wealth created by the Shapudian people with great effort.

"As the world situation becomes increasingly worse, more countries will surely become victims of Daxia's financial hegemony in the near future."

Speaking from my heart.

This paragraph makes some sense, unlike the previous discussion which is a deliberate distortion of the facts.

But Olde deliberately shied away from discussing certain matters.

such as:

Although Shapudian lost the right to issue currency, the Shapudians obtained a massive supply of materials and received security guarantees from Daxia.

This is a gain that money can’t buy.

For example:
Before the era of natural disasters and before the rise of the Eastern Great Xia, which country used its financial hegemony to continuously collect seigniorage from more than 10 billion people around the world?
Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is the Jamani Federation.

One of Jameini's finance ministers even famously said: "The Jameini dollar is our currency, but it is your problem."

When the Jamaicans print money like crazy, the whole world will suffer the pain of inflation.

When the Gamenese deliberately tightened their currencies, many countries saw a massive outflow of foreign exchange, many companies went bankrupt, and society was in turmoil.

But Alder didn't say a word.

After half an hour.

"Snapped!"

The CDD reporter pressed hard on the keyboard and typed the last character.

The manuscript is finished.

Alder did not feel much joy at having completed the work, but instead sighed dejectedly.

He whispered softly: "From the current situation, I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before Dongfang Daxia replaces Jiameni and becomes the financial overlord of Canglan Star."

As a white person, he didn't want to see this scene from the bottom of his heart.

Alder reached out to close his laptop, stretched again, and slowly stood up from his chair.

He glanced at the exchange point and found that there were more and more people.

But the queue was shortened because several more exchange counters were opened at the exchange point. Children also appeared in the crowd.

These little guys ran around happily on the snow, giggling from time to time.

A staff member came out from the exchange point, seemed to be holding a small gift in his hand, and shouted a few times.

The children immediately rushed over and lined up in front of the staff, taking turns to receive small gifts.

The laughter got louder.

The scene was extremely lively.

In times of natural disasters, this is a scene that only occurs in countries with social stability and sufficient supplies.

Alder stared at it for several seconds and cursed quietly, "Shit!"

Before being assigned to Eastern City, he had not seen such a scene in the Blue Lion Kingdom for a long time.

On the contrary, in Shapudian, which is considered poor and backward by ordinary people, such a scene actually appeared.

at this time.

Alder suddenly saw some different figures.

Compared to the generally short-statured Shapodians, these figures were very tall, like adults who had broken into a kindergarten.

Out of the instinct of a veteran reporter, Old quickly picked up his mobile phone, opened the camera, and adjusted the magnification to the maximum.

He only took one look and blurted out, "Raft!"

The main ethnic group in the Bering Kingdom was the Rafts.

Alder took a closer look and muttered, "Why do I feel like these guys are supernatural beings?"

The psychic from the Bering Kingdom suddenly appeared on the streets of Dongfang City. He was keenly aware that there might be big news here.

Older took a few photos and then contacted the CDD people: "Hey, can you use our network to find out who these faces are?"

The other party immediately replied: "OK!"

CDD is the largest media in the Blue Lion Kingdom and has very close relations with state agencies, so it is not difficult to investigate a person.

Five minutes passed.

The reply came: “The Kingdom’s intelligence center could not find this person. We got intelligence from Gameni, but we only found out the identity of one target.

"This person is called Alexi, he is from the northern Bering region, and his ability level is quite good."

An idea immediately flashed through Olde's mind: "Could it be that the Bering Kingdom has reached a cooperative relationship with Daxia, and the Bering Kingdom wants to enter the Black Sand Sea of ​​Death through the World Gate?"

But the next message from his colleague made him reject this idea.

“It is said that the major supernatural organizations in the Bering Kingdom had invited Alexi to join, but Alexi declined the invitation and has remained in the Eastern Bering Region.

“Later, a natural disaster called the Cold Wave hit, and many people starved to death in the Eastern Bering region. However, the Bering Kingdom only provided very little assistance, so the relationship between the two sides is not very good now.

"The Gamenians believe that the Bering Kingdom is most likely unaware of Alexei's visit to Eastern City."

Older's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can we make a fuss about Alexei, stir up conflicts between Daxia and the Bailing people, and create trouble for the Daxia people?"

The colleague replied: "The Gamenians are doing that."

Alder smiled instantly.

The two sides exchanged a few more words and the conversation ended.

Olde couldn't help but fantasize: "If we use this incident as an opportunity to start a war between Daxia and Bering Kingdom, it would be great. This can greatly slow down Daxia's development momentum."

But reason told him that this possibility was not high.

*
Seven kilometers away.

Operation Fang Division.

Qin Deguang was sitting at his desk, checking yesterday's information briefing on his computer.

Since he joined the Eastern Bering Project and served as an important person in charge, he received a briefing containing a large amount of intelligence every day.

"Cuck!"

The sound of crows suddenly rang out.

Liu Hei's figure quickly emerged and appeared on a green plant in the office.

Qin Deguang had long been accustomed to Liu Hei's way of appearing, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Liu, how is it?"

Liu Hei nodded his head gently: "It went very smoothly. Old, a senior reporter from CDD, has confirmed Alexi's identity and the information has been passed on."

Qin Deguang was a little bit surprised: "It actually worked."

In his opinion, the idea of ​​using a foreign journalist who has nothing to do with the issue as a key node for transmitting information is too far-fetched.

Normal people would never think of this kind of thinking.

Alexei could never have imagined that it was the Daxia people who stabbed him in the back.

And Olde, who acted as the transmission node, would never have thought that all this was directed by the Daxia people.

This is a perfect strategy.

Qin Deguang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liu, how do you know that Olde can help pass on information?"

Liu Hei simply answered: "I don't know."

Qin Deguang was confused.

Don't you know you still found Olde to make me happy?

Liu Hei added: "I just borrowed a little power from the master and did a divination. The result of the divination told me that Olde can play a role in this."

Qin Deguang had nothing to say and gave a thumbs up: "Big brother is awesome!"

He then asked, "Will the people behind Olde pass the information to the Bering Kingdom?"

Liu Hei was very sure: "The white-skinned bandits are eager for a fight between Daxia and the Bering Kingdom, so they will not only talk about it, but also exaggerate it.

“From the perspective of the Bering Kingdom, if they want to negotiate with Daxia, they must control Alexi and extract testimony from him.

"Plus, Alexei's behavior is very suspicious. The Bering Kingdom must be full of suspicion, so they will definitely send out elite troops to capture him. Anyway, he will definitely not be able to escape."

Qin Deguang smacked his lips and said, "I think we can try to win over Alexei. If he knows that the Bering Kingdom is attacking him, he might be willing to cooperate with us."

Liu Hei shook his head and said, "No, an Alexei who is captured or killed by Bering is more valuable than an Alexei who surrenders to us."

Qin Deguang's brain was quite flexible, and he understood this sentence in seconds: "That's true. As long as Alexei is killed by the Bering Kingdom, the Eastern Bering people will definitely hate the kingdom even more."

*
after an hour.

Little Ivan, who was visiting a food processing factory, received a message from Qin Deguang: "The Bering Kingdom will take action to deal with Alexei."

The Tatar was so shocked that he could hardly control his facial expression.

Originally, he wanted Daxia to send strong men to quietly kill Alexei.

He never expected that the Daxia people would find a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let the Bering Kingdom take action.

The Daxia people are so powerful, aren't they?!
Little Ivan immediately had a worry in his heart: "Will this matter implicate me?"

Qin Deguang's next message dispelled little Ivan's doubts: "We have already made arrangements. Your safety will definitely not be a problem."

Little Ivan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
