Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

The negotiations began again, and this time, no one dared to go against Qiao Yelan's will.

"Where were we talking about before? Oh, right, it's the second question you raised, Madam. You claimed that you lacked a force strong enough to break the current stalemate in Syracuse, and the solution I proposed was to mobilize a Sarkaz Legion, start a war, and involve all the families."

Qiao Yelan slowly and clearly explained the current situation.

"Yes, yes, but I implore you to reconsider this plan."

"I have always been a person who values ​​fairness and democracy. Since you oppose my plan, you should come up with a plan of your own. It doesn't have to be better than mine, but it must at least be an equal alternative."

Having said that, the man spread out his palms, indicating that Lady Sicily could start speaking.

The woman knew very well that this was probably her last and only chance to save the situation, so she did not rush to speak. Instead, she re-filtered the plan she had just thought of in a hurry before she formally spoke.

"Sir, the Sarkaz army is indeed a powerful weapon of war, but it has never been a weapon that can be commanded by others. The only one they obey is the Demon King of the Sarkaz clan. Given your relationship with Ratlan, you understand that this is not a good weapon."

The entry point is well chosen.

Qiao Yelan nodded slightly

If you want to change someone's determination, the best way is not to come up with a better plan, but to guide the other person to discover the shortcomings in his or her plan.

If Qiao Yelan was really just an ordinary businessman who hired the Sarkaz army, then this passage alone would be enough to shake his determination about this plan.

"You paid the price of hiring a legion, and more than a year of time before and after. You only need to give me the funds and give me another year. I can secretly train a more loyal force and divide these families at the same time."

Seeing that Qiao Yelan still didn't say anything, Mrs. Sicily felt more confident, so she continued to express her thoughts.

"You know, Syracuse only has so much land and so many people. I was forced to compromise with the families because I am a tree without roots and water without a source. Lateran is not my backer, so I cannot obtain enough funds and resources to realize my ambitions."

"If you are willing to give me a chance, you can pay in installments. I will show you that your efforts are worth it, and I promise that the entire plan will be under your supervision, and I will report all the progress to you one by one."

In terms of strategic planning, we even need to take it to a higher level.

Qiao Yelan once again raised the rating of the Sicilian lady. After getting rid of her arrogance and anger, this lady lived up to her reputation as a strong woman who had once disrupted the political situation in Syracuse, and immediately demonstrated her due abilities.

She did not blindly follow Qiao Yelan's idea. Instead of introducing an external enemy to defeat Syracuse, she thought of using Qiao Yelan's capital to strengthen her own power as much as possible - regardless of whether Qiao Yelan's words about wanting Syracuse to be strong were true or false, it would always be a good idea to increase the chips in her hands.

It seems that this lady is indeed very capable and has a good overall view. The only pity is that her true ability is constrained by her own limitations.

There was admiration in the man's eyes.

He doesn't care about some small actions with hidden selfish motives. As a person who hates barbecued pork, the only requirement he has for his subordinates is to at least do their own job well - everything else is up to you.

"Your plan sounds great, but I can't leave Syracuse satisfied after reading the PPT you gave me. I can approve the first batch of funds for you, but at the same time, I need to see your results immediately."

"In the next month, I need to go to Kazdel to arrange the Sarkaz Legion. If your results satisfy me after a month, then I will carry out your plan. If your results do not satisfy me, then the next time, it will be someone else who will come to see you."

Qiao Yelan's words sounded like heavenly music to Mrs. Sicily's ears.

"I won't let you down."

Mrs. Sicily said firmly.

"I am looking forward."

After saying this, Qiao Yelan left without any hesitation, leaving no trace except for the cargo in two trucks.

Lady Sicily and Agni watched Qiao Yelan's convoy leave, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Agnier. I can't defend my previous actions. At that time, I did have murderous intentions towards you."

"It's not your fault, Marlena. We are all just pawns being manipulated."

Agnier shook his head.

The politics of Syracuse has always been bloody and dark, but this level of bloodiness and darkness compared to the man in the wheelchair I met today is like the difference between a baby and a tank.

They are not of the same type at all.

"Let's not talk about that anymore - let's see what he left for us."

Lady Syracuse sighed and stepped onto the van.

It was filled with old boxes, and the patterns on the boxes showed that they had once been made in Syracuse.

The woman opened a box and was surprised by what was inside.

It was a box full of gold florins, the common currency in Syracuse.

Every big family in Syracuse had its own minting organization. The quality and purity of the gold florins minted varied, and the patterns on the coins were even more varied, but the only thing that remained unchanged were the two words etched on them.

【Family】 and 【Order】.

If the box contained pure gold bars, she would not be so surprised, but these gold coins seemed to be as old as the box - they were all products of Syracuse.

Mrs. Sicily picked up a gold coin and focused her attention on the pattern on it, which was the easiest way to identify which family the florin gold coin came from.

"The Texas family... the [traitor] who relocated to Columbia?"

There was obvious confusion in her voice.

Agniel came in, having gotten into another car.

"That car was full of weapons, Rutland-made guns, and a large amount of bullets."

As for the gold and weapons, there is no doubt that Qiao Yelan did not deliberately make things difficult. What he left behind were the things that could most directly help Lady Sicily.

"You know, I was expecting you to say that the man was lying and that he didn't have a Sarkaz army at all."

Mrs. Sicily put down the gold coins in her hand and said quietly.

"I would love to say that, but knowing his status in Rutland, I tend to think he's telling the truth."

Agnier replied softly.

"Besides, you don't have any doubts, do you?"

"I don't dare to doubt it...because I have already sensed the first thing he said."

"First thing? You mean... the wolves in the wasteland?"

The woman nodded slightly.

Every wolf leader in a family has his own wolf master, and Lady Sicily is no exception.

So she could sense that the connection was becoming increasingly thin and fragile, and the Wolf Lord had long since left the territory of Syracuse.

"Did he really take all the wolves away?"

Even though Agnier already understood Qiao Yelan's power, he still asked this question in the form of a question.

"Yes, even as we were talking, I could sense the Wolves leaving. And I can't imagine how he did it."

The woman nodded.

“So I don’t dare to doubt his words. Since he can even control the Wolf Pack, then the Sarkaz Legion is actually an easier task to accomplish.”

"Moreover, looking at the wealth here, and the weapons you mentioned, if he really wanted to form a mercenary army, I'm afraid he could do it easily."

Sakota nodded silently. The other party's wealth and strength were indeed shocking enough.

"Let's start the plan as soon as possible - a little humiliation is nothing. The only thing Syracusans obey is strength, and I am also a Syracusan."

Mrs. Sicily turned and walked towards the car door.

"In addition to these, he also brought us real backing - we are now really [Latlan's vanguard in controlling Syracuse]."

Agnier gave a wry smile.

The foxes had been relying on the tiger's power for so many years, and finally the tiger really came and stomped on their heads, leaving this place to the two foxes again.

Only now, the fox has to fight for the tiger's interests.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------

"How is the infrastructure construction in the Kazdel area going?"

"We have successfully connected the previous settlements to Leithania's Shining Hoof City and Da Yan's Dragon Gate. Many stray Sarkaz are returning to Kazdel, and more are beginning to head here."

Theresa pushed Qiao Yelan's wheelchair, with obvious joy in her voice.

"What about your brother?"

"My brother is...very good. At least he is not as extreme as before. He has also seen what Babel has done for the Sarkaz people. Everything is moving in a good direction. He has also given up on using more drastic means to prove the existence of Kazdel."

After hesitating for a while, Theresa explained the current situation.

"You're still the same. You can't even lie fluently."

Qiao Yelan sighed softly.

Theresa lowered her head, looking melancholy.

Of course she knew what her brother was doing - Tracy had never relaxed the construction of the Sarkaz army. Even though the Tower of Babel had handed over a large amount of industrial equipment and agricultural zoning, the other party's hostility towards Qiao Yelan had not diminished in the slightest.

It was obvious that after the circulation of Lungmen Coin, as long as they continued to cultivate their voice and recall their compatriots who were displaced, the rise of Kazdel had become possible.

But Tresis seemed not to see it. He had even been gathering his troops and stockpiling them on the border between the west and Syracuse.

It's not just the movement of troops, but also the flow of various materials, food, weapons...Askalon found out a lot of things, and these things, when connected together, point to the thing she least wants to see.

war.

Although it seems that Tracys does not intend to direct the war against him and compete with him for the position of Demon King, even if he wants to wage war against Syracuse, the Sarkaz will continue to fight with other races, and other races will continue to maintain their disgust and hatred towards the Sarkaz.

"You can't hold him back?"

"...I can't even find him now. I've never received a reply to the letters I sent, and all my formal requests to meet him have been rejected."

Theresa looked depressed.

"I don't even know if he still thinks I'm his relative - ever since we fought side by side two hundred years ago, I've only felt that he's become more and more of a stranger."

"Maybe he's just too impatient. I believe that Tracys, like you, is a hero who can sacrifice himself for the future of the Sarkaz. It's just that you have different beliefs, so the methods you choose are naturally different."

Qiao Yelan comforted.

"Doctor...I know this may be a bit too much, but could you please talk to my brother again? Maybe he always thinks that I am just a simple sister and a child who has never grown up."

Theresa begged.

"More than a year ago, it was you who helped us ease the tense atmosphere between us. Perhaps only with your words would he be willing to think."

Chapter 161 Qiao Yelan “has no” plan

"Don't worry, Theresa. Even if you don't tell me, I will go and talk to Theresis. He has been blinded by power. There are many ways for the Sarkaz to survive on this land, but war is definitely not one of them."

The man sighed seriously and stated his attitude firmly.

"Thank you—thank you, Doctor."

The girl standing behind him let out a long breath and looked like she was finally relaxed.

She leaned down, put her arms around Qiao Yelan's neck through the back of the wheelchair, and put her face against his hair.

"I know I'm not a suitable leader at all, but my vision requires me to step up and lead the Sarkaz. My brother and I have different ideas - fortunately, I have you, and you've always been by my side."

"You know, Theresa, I will always be by your side - in the past, present, and future... until one day, you say you no longer need me."

Qiao Yelan stretched out his hand and stroked the long, soft hair soothingly.

Theresa tightened her grip on Qiao Yelan's hand slightly, looking a little lonely, and then she smiled.

"Well, I believe you—and besides, there won't be such a day."

The girl who was hugging Qiao Yelan from behind naturally couldn't see how calm the man's expression was as he spoke these gentle words.

So she naturally didn't realize that whether or not that day would come was not decided by her.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

The door of the carriage slowly opened, and Tracy's cold face was the first thing that caught Qiao Yelan's eyes.

However, Qiao Yelan acted as if he didn't see it. After Kal'tsit pushed Qiao Yelan out of the car, he looked Tracy up and down.

Then the first sentence almost made the veins in Tracy's hand on his sword pop out.

"You seem to have a lot of free time, and you're willing to come pick me up in person."

——Thanks to you, I’m not fucking idle at all now!

Although he really wanted to roar at the other person and spit on his face, reason told Tracys that this little action of his mighty might lead to fatal consequences.

“What on earth are you going to do! You suddenly asked me to gather the Sarkaz army at the border of Syracuse, and even asked me to send out scouts to test them - how can Kazdel withstand a war now?”

He could only force himself to maintain his "composure" and questioned Qiao Yelan angrily.
