Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Everything that guy said was a lie - I haven't seen the new emperor in person, so I can't comment, but this guy named Witt is the biggest problem."

【What's up with him? 】

"He is a commoner, but now he orders servants around like the nobles. His lifestyle is so extravagant that even I am shocked. It is winter now, and he can actually treat me with fresh Jiang Zhu meat. Do you know how much it costs to transport a live Jiang Zhu from Da Yan to Sheng Jun Ying Fort?"

"Secondly, the example he used to convince me was also fake. To be honest, the fact that Hellagur disappeared is indeed very misleading. It is a very suitable reason to deceive people by saying that Hellagur was suppressed and sanctioned because he was infected, which led to their power being exhausted."

A sneer appeared on the man's face.

"—if Hellagur hadn't joined Babel."

Chapter 44 Gold Medal Sales

[What did you say? Hellagur joined Babel? How come I didn't know anything about this? ]

Kosice's pitch was all pitched up two notes.

"Of course you didn't know. At that time, you were still immersed in the joy of taking down Longmen."

[No, please explain it clearly - I have seen that guy. His ability and combat effectiveness are among the best. In the Blood Peak Battle, this guy led a commando team to kill the commander-in-chief of the East Country. As long as he has enough experience, it will not be a problem for him to sit on the position of marshal.]

"Yes, killing the commander-in-chief was a huge achievement. Unfortunately, the East Kingdom soon replaced him with another commander-in-chief, who led the East Kingdom's army to stop the then-invincible Ursus army."

[I know about this, but isn't it Ursus who fought so badly? And in a war that was forced to a draw, it is reasonable to magnify the achievements of certain people, so as to maintain domestic stability, right? ]

"Indeed, but unfortunately, Hellagur is a good friend of the Eastern Country's commander-in-chief. The two of them are close friends. The biggest problem is that when Hellagur met the commander, the commander was already seriously injured and on the verge of death. In the end, he even gave his command knife to Hellagur."

[What... is going on? Why would someone else assassinate the commander? No one would want him to die except Ursus? ]

"Yeah, how about pyroxene?"

The second commander-in-chief of the East Kingdom Army, who was urgently appointed during the Battle of Blood Peak, calmly repeated the question.

"In short, in the end, Hellagur not only did not continue to be promoted because of the successful beheading, but was sent to a military court. He was only saved by the late emperor, but his future was cut off."

[But this still doesn't explain why he would join you. Even if he can't be promoted, he is still a general. There is no reason for him to hide his identity just to join Babel.]

"Indeed, but at that time he adopted the daughter of the East Country commander, and his daughter suffered from a severe Originium disease. Therefore, in order to obtain a special treatment, he took the initiative to become an infected person, and then put aside all his identities and worked as a hospital security guard."

[…I really can’t understand it.]

Of course, Kosice's doubts could not be resolved unless she saw what Hellagur looked like at that time.

Of course Qiao Yelan didn't remember it either, but when he was reviewing the relevant files, there was a recording that was sealed with the files, which helped him understand the situation at that time.

[What are you willing to lose in order to heal her?]

[Everything except her.]

......

He couldn't tell whose voice answered, but there was no doubt that the person asking the question was himself.

I think that General Junying must have been at his wit's end at that time.

[Okay, so according to this statement, the so-called 'Sarkaz officer recommended to them by Hellagur' is also fake? ]

"Of course it's fake. There weren't many Sarkaz who officially joined the Ursus army back then. I don't remember anyone under Hellagur serving in the army."

Qiao Yelan said casually.

[......From the tone of your voice, you also know this Sarkaz? ]

"Kazdel was under my control back then, and I did bring a group of special Sarkaz into the Ursus army to help Vladimir kill people - but after the tenth Uka War, I remember asking them to return to the wasteland to continue working overtime to kill demons for me. I don't know who stayed in the army."

"But no matter who he is, he probably doesn't want to see me."

The corner of the man's mouth curled up in a sinister arc.

Because the price of betraying his orders is not something that anyone can afford.

[Then his plan to let it go and then plan a counterattack is also false? ]

“Well, this should be true.”

【should?】

"Because logically speaking, if he really intends to assist the young emperor, this is indeed the best way. He can win over the middle and lower classes to the greatest extent possible and follow Vladimir's policy of eliminating slavery. However, if he has his own little tricks, then this 'counterattack' is quite interesting."

"After all, for someone who has become a 'noble', the plan proposed by Anatoly is the best, because it can effectively ensure that the vested interests consolidate their position. As for what kind of harm it will cause to the country - do you think that if the nobles can all have this sense of responsibility, Ursus will still be what it is now?"

[Anyway, this plan is not good for the Ursus Empire, right? ]

"Have you ever heard of drinking poison to quench thirst? This is called drinking poison to quench thirst - for the sake of short-term interests, the country's future is cut off. Can you imagine a country with completely rigid classes? Talented people among the common people cannot be promoted, and mediocre people among the nobles have power over the government and the country."

[Then can you object to this plan? Since you said that Speaker Witte is untrustworthy, you must have your reasons - and I don't think that a guy who lives a luxurious life can really think like an aristocrat. ]

"I'm not saying anything, this is a plan jointly promoted by the emperor, the speaker of the parliament, the military, and the nobles. It can be said that this is the imperial will of Ursus. Do you really want to object?"

[Even you can't do it? ]

Kosice asked rhetorically.

"No, I mean... it costs extra."

Qiao Yelan raised a finger.

"The price you gave is for helping you return to Longmen. I will personally deal with the traitors in Chernobog. Although I helped you indirectly, I will pay for it myself - but this matter is much more difficult than letting you return to Longmen, and I personally have no intention of getting involved."

This is of course a lie.

Ever since he knew that Witte and the Emperor had this idea, Qiao Yelan knew that he would be in charge of this matter!

After Vladimir broke with him, Babel's intelligence network and pawns in Ursus were almost exhausted in the Battle of Blood Peak. However, although Vladimir died of illness not long after, Qiao Yelan himself fell into a deep sleep again.

Therefore, the reason why he came to Ursus this time was to sell himself to the emperor who was weak at the time, so as to take this opportunity to capture new pawns within Ursus and build an intelligence network.

But now that the emperor has Witt to rely on, he naturally doesn’t need Qiao Yelan anymore - how can this be possible?

Third-rate businessmen supply demand, second-rate businessmen look for demand, and first-rate businessmen create demand.

Since the emperor has no demand, then Qiao Yelan will naturally create the demand for him.

What's more, Anatoly and Witt both touched Qiao Yelan's bottom line.

Anatoly needs no introduction. Although Qiao Yelan is a bad person, he also knows what true evil is.

As for Werther...

What he said was "fight back after the massacre has begun."

For some things, it’s not a question of whether to stop them or not, but rather that you can’t even start doing it.

So of course Qiao Yelan would care——

However, this does not prevent him from selling it at a higher price.

Chapter 1: Why We Fight (70/)

[Make an offer.]

After a moment of silence, Kosice said in an irritable tone.

Apart from anything else, Black Snake really loves Ursus deeply.

Tsk, if I had known this guy was so "loyal", I should have tricked him into working for me after Nightmare Khan left.

But... in terms of usage, it is still the same now.

"Promise to help me do something. Even if it will harm the national interests of Ursus, you must do it. Of course, if you think that this matter will put Ursus in danger of decline, you can refuse."

Qiao Yelan’s words made Kosice fall into deep thought.

[Is there anything you need to do at the expense of Ursus's interests? ]

"Isn't it right now? The current situation in Ursus is a bit too rotten. It's painful to cut flesh with a blunt knife. Only when it erupts all at once can it attract attention. Sometimes, in order to oppose a worse thing, you can only choose the second worst one.

Of course, Qiao Yelan could do much better than the worst possible scenario.

[Can you guarantee that you won't actually harm this country? ]

“When have you ever seen me endanger any country? I brought freedom to Leitania, order to Lungmen, and hope to Kazdel. I said that my goal is to allow all races and countries to coexist peacefully, including the Sarkaz and the infected.”

[......Okay, I promise you, as long as it's not an excessive request, I will do my best to help you do one thing - now you can think about how to deal with this matter, right? ]

"No problem - driver, turn around and go to the address marked on the business card I gave you earlier."

Qiao Yelan raised his voice to remind the driver.

"Yes, doctor."

The driver stopped the car, took out his business card, confirmed it, then turned and drove towards his new destination.

[...Have you already thought of a solution? ]

"No, I only started thinking about it after you said you wanted to stop it."

Qiao Yelan said seriously.

[I'll believe you for now - where are we going? ]

"The house of Yegor Telekin, Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Labor."

[That foreman? What can I do with him? ]

"Recall the seating arrangement Anatoly arranged for us at the meeting - four military representatives and one noble representative sat on one side, and five civil servants sat on the other side."

"Sitting opposite Anatoly was Judge Oleg. Facts had proven that, although he compromised in the end, he was the most aggressive one. And although Alexander was also a well-known opponent before, his opposition to the meeting was considered to be only at the same level as Secretary of State of East Casimir."

[Now that you put it that way, it is true. The Secretary of State only said a few words and backed off when the other side spoke toughly. Alexander did the same.]

"So, these two people sit on the side, because as long as Anatoly gives a reason, these two people will never object - and the people Anatoly really thinks need to be dealt with are Oleg, me, and Yegor."

"This Minister of Labor had previously used the most humble flattery to befriend the nobles, and was the first person to approach me and try to establish a relationship with me. But when I took the lead in criticizing Anatoly again, this Minister of Labor actually produced documents to refute the issue."

Qiao Yelan smiled.

"Rather than trusting my own instincts, I trust Anatoly's vision."

[But he is just the Minister of Labor, what good can he do? ]

"First of all, the Ministry of Labor was newly established by Vladimir. Previously, it was called the [Imperial Industry and Slave Labor Political Department], which was responsible for managing all serfs under the royal family. It was not until Vladimir pardoned all serfs and turned them into freemen that it was changed to the Imperial Ministry of Labor."

"This is the largest talent market in the Ursus Empire. Countless companies and government projects recruit workers here all year round. It accommodates a large number of people who have become free citizens but cannot own land for the time being. Among them, there are quite a few infected people. Through them, we can contact more infected people."

Qiao Yelan wiped the car window, and the blurry street view of Saint Eagle Castle appeared from the mist.

"If a war is inevitable, then the first thing we have to do is to let everyone know the truth about this war - all infected people must know one thing, why they are fighting."

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

When the car stopped, Qiao Yelan was pushed out of the car with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Are you sure this is here?"

"Yes, this is it."

This is the urban area where ordinary citizens of Ursus live, and it is also a row of single-family houses. However, as the official residence of a minister in the Castle of the Holy Eagle, it can be said to be inconspicuous.

At Qiao Yelan's signal, ACE behind him walked up and knocked on the door.

Ding Dong

"who is it?"

A woman's voice sounded.

"Qiao Yelan, the chief administrative officer of the Siberian Vice King, is here to visit Minister Yegor. Due to the emergency, I was unable to send you an invitation in time. Please forgive me."

"I'm sorry, my husband hasn't come back yet. Please wait a moment and I'll call him."

The other party's voice was a little nervous but not panicky. The lady did not open the door directly, but Qiao Yelan could certainly understand it. After all, there were no guards here.

After waiting for a moment, the door opened.

"Please come in, Mr. Qiao Yelan. Yegor said he will be back soon. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, ma'am—Ace, go back to the car and wait for me."

"Yes."

Qiao Yelan gently pressed the joystick, and the wheelchair deformed again. The wheels lifted up slightly, revealing the mechanical feet underneath, stepped over the threshold, and then landed.

Mrs. Yegor looked at this scene in surprise.
