Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Very good - if I take action here, it may cause quite a lot of noise, so you should pay attention to calming down the inside."

Xuan Tie really wanted to ask how big a commotion Qiao Yelan had made - but he didn't have the courage.

"I understand. I'll be ready."

He finally replied dryly.

"The information is at the normal price. If you don't trust me, you can prepare a way out yourself. I don't mind. After all, our cooperation is limited to the time before Babel withdraws from Casimir. If you don't want to go with us by then, please do as you please."

Of course, Qiao Yelan didn't care what Xuan Tie would think or do. After all, this was just a deal - he paid the money, and he was willing to pay it.

"clear."

Click, Qiao Yelan hung up the phone.

Hearing the dead tone in the receiver, Xuan Tie slowly hung up the phone.

"...As expected, it is a deal with the devil..."

He sighed softly.

The former Helmetless Alliance was formed simply because they could not stand the extortion and tyranny of the knights, so they secretly assassinated these corrupt knights who were rich and unkind, and made quite a name for themselves - but then they soon fell into the joint stranglehold of the knights.

After all, the reason why the Helmetless Alliance is [Helmetless] is not because they don’t want to wear armor - but because they simply can’t afford to wear armor.

Facing the hordes of knights, they had almost no ability to resist.

Until later, someone came to contact the Heroless Alliance and asked them whether they were willing to stand on the side of the merchants and force the knights to give up their oppression of the subjects.

The leader of the alliance at that time agreed.

This is indeed the choice of the Wuzhou Alliance, but after things have changed, it is also the choice of the Wuzhou Alliance to withdraw from the Business Federation.

Because the Wuzhou Alliance, from the beginning to the end, has always been an organization brought together by a group of people who want to survive.

"Live."

Xuan Tie muttered to himself, his eyes becoming more determined.

Live!

Chapter 181: Alerting the Snake

"Is that person over there called Xuantie?"

Seeing Qiao Yelan put down the receiver, Kashena asked.

"It's just a code name. He's not the only one in Black Iron. You should have heard of Casimir's No-Head Alliance. Except for some of the peripheral guys who show their faces, the others are hiding themselves very well. Even the Business Federation doesn't know their names."

Qiao Yelan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Their intelligence capabilities are really strong? Otherwise, you wouldn't have made this deal with them - it's really a bit unrealistic for a group of killers to want to retire."

"In fact, they should be the only established intelligence agency in the entire Business Federation. The others are either just there to make up the numbers and defraud funds, or they are private goods of various companies. As for the Tower of Babel, I am simply too lazy to invest in it."

It’s not necessary to spend money to play house with children, right?

"Do you want me to do it?"

Kashena inquired.

Just now, Qiao Yelan said that he would help the other party get rid of some people, and she was wondering whether he should do it herself. After all, when it comes to killing without leaving any trace, Black Snake is the unrivaled master.

"You are indeed required to take action, but it's not to kill anyone. As I said just now, it will make a lot of noise."

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

"That's a lot of noise... Are you going to use the Steam Knights? In Casimir's capital!"

Kashena was surprised.

"Of course, we have such a powerful force in our hands. It would be a waste if we don't use it."

"But if we don't do this..."

Black Snake was a little hesitant. She subconsciously wanted to ask whether being so high-profile would affect your original plan. But based on her understanding of Qiao Yelan...this should also be part of the plan.

"I see, what do you need from me?"

In the end, Kashena decided not to worry too much and asked directly about her mission.

"This time I want to see what kind of combat power the current Steam Knights have, so I need you to observe in secret and help clear out any spies on the periphery - in case this Mr. Xuantie wants to do something tricky, I will have to use the backup plan."

"clear."

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

Jacob stretched his body and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable using steam armor.

Before meeting Qiao Yelan, they had been cut off from all supplies of armor parts, and a large number of logistics craftsmen had been withdrawn. The Steam Knights had to maintain their own armor after battle.

All parts are saved as much as possible, and even the steam pressure is not filled to the rated power, but is maintained at around 75%, because this can extend the service life of valves and pipes while retaining as much power of the armor as possible.

But now...all this is in the past.

Brand new parts and skilled craftsmen in exchange for a steam armor that is almost in full condition, which reminds Jacob of himself ten years ago.

He looked back at his three subordinates, who were obviously unable to suppress their excitement and were moving their limbs.

After all, we are just killing a group of killers who are led into a trap. Only four of them are needed to enter the trap, and the others are setting up a net on the periphery to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Have you memorized all the mission contents?"

Jacob's fluent Leitanian sounded a little muffled through the helmet.

"I remember them all."*3

The squadron leader nodded and raised the spear in his hand. Their original equipment was removed and replaced with unrecognizable weapons.

"Remember—no Victorian!"

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

Kashena, who returned to Qiao Yelan's office, looked a little depressed.

"What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the mission?"

"No, it was done very well, no one was left alive, and the one called Xuantie didn't show any tricks or leave any tricks behind. I basically didn't contribute anything."

Black Snake waved his hand absentmindedly, still comparing the fighting power between the Inner Guards and the Steam Knights in his mind.

The result of the comparison made her a little depressed - if the Inner Guard did not use the kingdom, he would not be able to confront the Steam Knights she had seen so far.

There is no doubt that Steam Knight must also have a trump card ability similar to [Kingdom]. Obviously, even if the Kingdom is used, the Inner Guard may not be able to defeat the Steam Knight.

The more important point is... Steam Knight can fly.

They are noble air units - at least they can do that temporarily, which makes [Country] look a little too awkward.

Seeing that Kashena was unwilling to say more, Qiao Yelan shrugged and stopped asking questions. He only cared about the intelligence information he needed.

The purpose of mobilizing Steam Knights is naturally to alert the enemy.

Even though no one was left alive, the exaggerated traces of battle would obviously reveal some clues - and the identities of these corpses would naturally be deduced by those who were interested.

The Helmetless Alliance, which even the Chamber of Commerce could not grasp the full picture of, was seriously damaged by a killing inside the Grand Knight's Territory in Casimir's capital. This matter may seem unbelievable at first, but if you think about it a little more deeply, it is enough to make every businessman feel horrified.

In particular, the wounds on the corpse looked very similar to the standard equipment of the Knights of Casimir...

Indeed, Casimir does not have Steam Knights, but this does not mean that Casimir does not have super elites with the same positioning as Steam Knights.

Silver Spear Pegasus.

The most embarrassing thing is that the Chamber of Commerce is unable to verify this matter with the Supervisory Commission, and the Supervisory Commission is unwilling to discuss this matter with the Chamber of Commerce.

Now, the merchants feel a sense of urgency.

Qiao Yelan took out his plan and smiled with satisfaction.

Don't worry, let this matter brew for two more days - then you will have to break the last straw yourself.

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

Qiao Yelan sat steadily at the round table of the Chamber of Commerce meeting, with his secretary, Miss Kashena, behind him.

The other directors of the Chamber of Commerce were taking their seats one by one.

He glanced at the Rose Press, and sure enough, Bane had brought his son with him—clearly, this was a clear indication of his heir.

After everyone was present, Qiao Yelan signaled Kashena to distribute the documents in her hand to the directors.

"It's been a long time since we last met, everyone. I've been traveling a lot during this period of time. I've seen a lot of things and learned a lot, so I hurried back. After all, the news is not very friendly to us, Casimir."

The scene was still dull.

The Chamber of Commerce suffered a considerable blow in this sudden commercial blockade. Except for a few companies that had previously signed agreements with Cuilinterme and were able to barely maintain the flow of goods, the rest of the companies could be said to have suffered heavy losses.

How much everyone has lost is a trade secret, but everyone has a rough guess - originally the Tower of Babel was the most mysterious, but this time they suddenly turned around and said they wanted to vigorously develop domestic industries. It was obvious that they had run into trouble outside.

If everyone loses money together, the scene will be more harmonious than if everyone makes money together.

"I think everyone should be familiar with the news about Longmen Coin, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became even more depressing.

Even though the directors looked expressionless, their hearts were bleeding.

You know, they look down upon the Longmen Coin created by Dayan, and even laugh at those people from Dayan in their hearts, wondering what business logic they understand.

The Chamber of Commerce had been sharpening its knives and preparing to make a big move on Longmen Coin, in order to take the initiative of circulating currency into its own hands.

But this plan is now a thing of the past.

Their own companies are already a mess, so how can they have the leisure to target foreign currency invasions?

"Although it is announced to the public that Longmen Coin is only intended to be promoted by Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu himself, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Da Yan government is behind it - this means that, given the current situation, we are temporarily unable to compete with Longmen Coin."

The directors all focused their attention, waiting for Qiao Yelan to say "but".

"But - that doesn't mean we can't get a bigger piece of the pie."

Qiao Yelan smiled and set the tone for the meeting.

"We all know that if Longmen coins want to circulate, they must be bought and sold. But think about it, there must be goods to buy and sell. From Da Yan to here, whether it's Kazdel, Leitania, or Victoria, which country can produce enough goods?"

"These places are markets, but they don't produce enough goods. Da Yan can certainly let its goods flow through - but can they still compete with us in price wars?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of several directors, and they understood what Qiao Yelan meant.

Prices are plummeting in Casimir right now, but they dare not print money on a large scale - because the Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of cash in hand in order to snipe the Longmen currency, and printing money on a large scale at this time is simply bleeding themselves.

But now, the prices of these goods have even fallen below the cost price, and they are still not selling well in Casimir - but this does not mean that they cannot be sold outside!

At this price, the goods would be snapped up as soon as they left Casimir, and what they lacked now was a way to get the goods out of Casimir!

"Director Qiao Yelan's idea is to let us take advantage of the promotion of Longmen Coin to establish this connection and use the power of Da Yan to open up trade routes to other countries?"

one director asked.

"exactly."

Qiao Yelan nodded calmly.

"Originally, we wanted to compete with Longmen Coin for the position of [Terra's universal currency], but unfortunately, our magical power is not as good as the heaven's power. The comprehensive blockade we have encountered in business has doomed Casimir to be ineligible to compete for this currency status in the short term."

"Since we have lost, we have to admit defeat. After all, we have already paid the cost, and we must think about how to recover as much profit as possible as early as possible - after all, everyone must feel a little uneasy with so much cash in their hands, right?"

This sentence hit the soft spot of all the directors.

For a businessman, nothing is more wasteful than holding cash in hand without being able to invest it.

The directors whispered to each other and finally nodded at Qiao Yelan's proposal.

When Dayan approaches Casimir about the issue of Longmen currency, the Chamber of Commerce will agree and be willing to exchange a large amount of cash for Longmen currency in exchange for Dayan's lower tariffs on Casimir and trade channels with other neighboring countries.

"But are we really just going to be inferior to others?"

Someone asked unwillingly.

The directors began to discuss in a low voice again, and then their eyes slowly shifted to Qiao Yelan.

"Of course not - it's not like we won't have the opportunity to take over in the future."

Qiao Yelan's voice was clear and firm, like a shot of adrenaline, striking the hearts of everyone present.
