Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

Cyril's voice was a little dry and hoarse, but the firm will in it was not tarnished at all.

"Suppose I want to stop the passage of this bill and prevent the conflict between the military and the business association from deepening further - what should I do?"

Under the pitch-black mask, the corners of Qiao Yelan's mouth curled up slightly.

“Only by placing noble people in the right positions can we organically save the crisis caused by interests.”

As he said this, he turned his face to the deputy lady beside him.

Ioletta Russell's expression became as firm as Cyril's.

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

"All the forty-six knight families that participated in that battle have expressed their support for you, and most of the Silver Spear Pegasus have also stood on your side. In fact, we have been waiting for your will for too long."

Ioletta held a thick stack of communication records in her hand, with great excitement and pride on her face.

This is the knight he follows—that incompetent knight commander who is not worthy of his title should have stepped down long ago!

Cyril's expression did not show much joy, for he had known the result long ago - but when he saw it, he could not help but let out a bitter smile.

Put yourself in their shoes. If the orders you give to the army are not as effective as those given by your subordinates, then anyone with self-respect and ambition will only feel ashamed and angry.

“Am I really qualified for that position?”

He sighed.

"Of course! Lord Lin Guang, if even you are not qualified to be the Grand Knight Commander, then there will never be another Casimir who is qualified!"

The lady's face was solemn.

"I don't know - but what I do know is that you will at least not take the initiative to plunge your country into a war of division just for the sake of your own status."

Qiao Yelan said calmly.

Cyril nodded silently.

At this time, Ioletta turned her gaze to Qiao Yelan.

“Sir Qiao Yelan, even though those of us who support Sir Lin Guang have come forward, we still need enough time to initiate the impeachment, get the Grand Knight to step down, and then elect a trusted Grand Knight. The Chamber of Commerce will not sit idly by and watch.”

"Please rest assured, I will buy you enough time. Before Sir Cyril ascends to the position of Grand Knight Commander, Babel Tower will distract the attention of the entire Commercial Federation."

But Ioletta was clearly not reassured.

"Pardon my indignity—but may I have the honor of hearing your plans?"

"no problem."

Qiao Yelan patted the briefcase hanging next to his wheelchair.

"I intend to strike first."

"Preemptive strike?"

"Yes, Babel Tower will make a preliminary compilation of this bill and send it directly to the voting meeting of the Business Federation for everyone to vote on it - before those who really want to promote this plan can do so."

Cyril and Ioleta were both stunned.

"This plan is top secret - so top secret that I don't even know what this plan is about. But what I know is that if they want to implement this plan, they will definitely collude internally in advance for the passage of this bill. As long as the collusion begins, I will get wind of it!"

"So the time these people want to execute this plan will definitely not be now! Now that I have come up with a similar plan in advance, it will definitely catch them off guard - because they will not have time to connect with each other, and the result of not being able to connect with each other is that the representatives of the groups who feel that they cannot get any benefits will vote against it!"

Qiao Yelan said "full of confidence".

"The scary thing about the Business Federation is that as long as they want, they can instantly mobilize huge resources to support something. This bill is the same. If they succeed in linking up in advance, they can pass the bill in an instant and then immediately start to fully implement it. Then all those who oppose the bill will not have time to organize enough forces to stop it."

"Now, if I bring out this bill ahead of time, it means that it will be caught up in a tug-of-war among all parties. In the process, this matter will inevitably spread to a wider range, giving everyone with a sense of justice time to stand up and express their opposition!"

Cyril's eyes lit up.

Qiao Yelan's meaning was very clear. Just like the matter of his appointment as Grand Knight Commander, if it was not coordinated in advance but was made public, then both those who supported and opposed him would be caught off guard at the same time and would have no choice but to hastily mobilize their forces to respond, which would in turn cause a stalemate between the two sides.

"Are you sure that when you first present the bill, there will be opposition?"

Ms. Ioleta asked the question that concerned her most.

Yes, of course there will be.

Kashena tightened her face and tried hard to maintain her expressionless nature.

This person...why does he start building a building from the second floor!

The most outrageous thing is that he even explained why Babel was the first to propose this bill!

"Of course there will be - as a businessman, I am always most sensitive to the benefits I can gain."

Qiao Yelan laughed and gave the answer that Kashena already knew.

"It seems that this bill can help many people. After all, it can bring in a considerable number of slave laborers. However, there are always some places where these workers are not competent - for example, the media industry."

"The Rose Press controls the window of public opinion in Casimir. They need a large number of writers, which cannot be replaced by infected slaves. Therefore, they can hardly get any benefit from this bill. However, if this bill is to be implemented, the issue of public opinion cannot be avoided."

He spread out his hands, looking confident.

"Don't worry. Mr. Bain, as the chairman of the Rose Newspaper Association, will definitely hold on to this point and work hard to gain enough benefits for himself. Before his appetite is satisfied, this bill will never be passed."

"With the Tower of Babel, we will firmly block the negotiation loophole, and his appetite will never be satisfied."

The snake standing behind the devil sighed softly in his heart.

Bane did not pass this resolution not because he was unsatisfied - but because his appetite had been satisfied, even more than he had imagined.

How can people who have already eaten their fill of meat look down on these leftovers?

Even though the meat came from a giant's ulcer, it was a feast for a greedy maggot.

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

In the shaking carriage, Kashena looked at the fortress that was slowly disappearing, was silent for a while, turned her head and stared at Qiao Yelan.

"What's wrong? Just ask if you have any questions. Didn't I say that I would try my best to answer all your questions this year?"

Qiao Yelan was a little confused.

"...What I want to ask is, in your plan, which part is the foreshadowing and which part is the response?"

Kashena was confused.

She can’t tell the difference! She can’t tell the difference!

"Why lay the groundwork? Why echo?"

The man asked in confusion.

"Isn't planning just about connecting the chess pieces that can be used in this matter? As long as the chess pieces are connected, why bother about when to make which move?"

Kashena: ?

"...Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Oh, I think I understand what you mean. You mean that a plan should be strictly based on the order of idea generation - thinking of means - placing chess pieces - detonating the plan, right?"

Black Snake nodded.

"This is a stupid method used by people who don't have any chess pieces. Because they are too poor and don't have the capital to operate, they can only do it in this order."

Qiao Yelan didn't care at all how hurt Black Snake was by this sentence, and continued talking on his own.

“A person who truly weaves a plan will never deliberately place chess pieces—because he has so many idle chess pieces that he always has available chess pieces at hand whenever he wants to complete any plan.”

"In other words, I just need to think of the means and then detonate the plan."

“So how do you ensure that it leads to the results you want?”

Kashena asked eagerly.

"Because chess pieces don't know they are chess pieces."

Qiao Yelan smiled.

"So he naturally doesn't know that every step he takes is the result of being seduced - he will firmly believe that this is the product of his careful consideration, and he will continue to move forward unswervingly."

"But in fact, these so-called products of careful consideration are actually my will."

"If every chess piece can deeply implement the will of the chess player, then how can a game of chess go in a direction that the chess player does not want?"

Chapter 71: Step-by-step instruction

"Welcome to the Tower of Babel, Mr. Kane. I didn't expect that you would be the first guest to visit me after I returned to the Great Knight Territory."

Qiao Yelan looked at the panting young man with some surprise, but still expressed his welcome.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, but I came here as soon as I heard you were back."

He grabbed a glass of water and drank it all.

"During the time you were away, I checked what you said - it was not an empty lie. I heard many infected people express their gratitude to you, and I also saw the secret location where your staff distributed the test kits. I want to apologize for my previous suspicion and rudeness towards you."

"That's not necessary - but since you've seen it, why are you looking for me?"

"Because I am still confused - my father told me that Babel Tower was one of the founders of the Commercial Federation, and your company is indeed a huge commercial country. But you seem to be a two-faced person. On the one hand, your pursuit of interests is a model for businessmen, and on the other hand, your attitude towards civilians is completely different from that of others."

Kane stared at Qiao Yelan.

"You are like a combination of contradictions. I can't find an appropriate word to describe you - what you do is completely two extremes, but they appear at the same time."

Qiao Yelan laughed. It seemed that Bain really had a very outstanding son.

"You said that all my actions were completely at two extremes, half like a businessman and half not, but have you really understood the company chairmen of the Business Federation?"

"As a person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it is not easy to turn around and be hostile to the class he belongs to - and it is even more precious to stand from the perspective of ordinary people, speak for them, and stand with them."

"But have you ever thought that this is the limit of what you can do for them?"

The young reporter was stunned.

"You are now a journalist, able to interview civilians and write about their grievances and humiliation in newspapers. But I believe you should be aware that the reason your reports can be published in newspapers is still because of your identity. Most journalists and their reports will never pass the editor-in-chief's section."

Kane remained silent. This was a reality he could not refute.

His background has brought him too many advantages. From his student days to today, whether he is standing up to those who threaten him during interviews or being reckless when writing articles, it is because he is clear about his identity that he does so.

The most important help he has in opposing his own class is actually his own class.

"You have been acting as a reporter in order to make others forget your real identity. But even you will not deny that your real identity has helped you a lot. Have you ever thought that if you act as your real identity, can you get more for the people you want to help?"

"With my true identity... can I do more for them?"

Kane murmured in confusion, his eyes became eager, his thoughts became impatient, he urgently wanted to get an answer from Qiao Yelan.

Just like every one of Qiao Yelan's students.

As always, after discovering a chess piece that has no owner, the whispers of the evil spirit began to weave a web for it with only a small hole.

And through that small hole, Kane will see the brilliance of his ideal,

However, he couldn't tell whether the light came from the scorching sun or the devil's fire.

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

Kashena pushed Qiao Yelan into a corridor, followed by a follower with his head down and holding a briefcase.

"Welcome to this meeting of the Business Federation, Your Excellency [Doctor]."

The spokesperson bowed politely and invited Qiao Yelan in.

The three people entered the strictly guarded meeting room, but as the external spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce, the other party was not even qualified to enter.

"When you walk, don't look around. When you sit down, you have plenty of time to observe your surroundings."

Qiao Yelan warned softly.

"I understand - it's just that this is my first time in a place like this, so I can't help but be a little excited."

Kane quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to walk behind Qiao Yelan pretending to be a follower.

The three of them walked to their respective seats. Qiao Yelan slightly adjusted his wheelchair to fit the conference table in front of him. Kashena and Kane both sat beside him.

"This is where the Business Federation really makes strategic decisions. Generally, only a few top directors are qualified to initiate them, and Babel happens to be one of them."

Qiao Yelan continued to explain the current situation to Kane.

"In fact, your father is also qualified to initiate this meeting. If it were you, I believe your father would not mind you listening in beside him - if you are willing to accept your true identity."

Kane stopped talking immediately. Qiao Yelan's words were very clear. If he had not been working on the front line as a reporter and had no interest in the family property, he would certainly not be unfamiliar with this place.
