Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"All solved? Didn't we only find a job for one unemployed civilian? I remember that the most pressing problems in Trilintelme right now, besides employment, are there funding shortages and the problem of rebuilding the ruins?"

"The funding problem will be solved together with the employment problem. Bain's recruitment in Trillintelme cannot be hidden from anyone. Other companies will also be aware of this opportunity. So, without the [contract signing], they will naturally think of investing in exchange for certain benefits."

The doctor explained patiently.

“As for the issue of rebuilding the ruins, it will be resolved once the joint public statement is issued.”

"…You mean the Infected Persons Act doesn't pass that one?"

"Yes—you remember I had several motions on that bill?"

"Centralized management system for infected people, slave labor system, construction of industrial enterprises, rewards for reporting infected people, and... land expansion?"

Kashena has realized something.

"Yes, when most people thought that this was a big cake that could be eaten immediately, I also specifically mentioned in the meeting that 'everyone can make some preparations in advance'. So do you think the Meshko Group, which is responsible for real estate construction, will wait until the proposal is passed before starting preparations, or will it start preparing after that meeting?"

"..."

"For a businessman, the most unbearable thing is the backlog of goods. After discovering that the proposal was nowhere in sight, Chairman Mieszko must have had a headache for the huge amount of funds, construction materials, engineering equipment and engineering teams he had prepared in advance, because these meant huge losses."

Qiao Yelan laughed softly.

"If I were willing to connect him with Trinthelme at this time, and tell him that there is a lot of construction going on there, do you think he would thank me?"

Chapter 75: Ending

At this time, Casimir's National Council was bustling with noise.

Qiao Yelan sat leisurely in his seat, watching the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Committee spit at each other.

You know what, these people are much better at arguing than those people in the Ursus Parliament.

He is worthy of being a cultural person.

But why do quarrels start wherever I go?

Qiao Yelan sighed, thinking that people nowadays must be becoming more and more violent.

Cyril is still stalling for time to deal with the remaining issues after the previous Grand Knight stepped down, and the Chamber of Commerce is also stalling for time to figure out what the other side is up to.

So everyone started playing verbal tricks tacitly.

However, both sides have made some progress on the issue of the infected person bill.

The conditions given by the Supervisory Council are that the former Grand Knight will completely suspend the pressure on the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce must also promise not to pass the Infected Persons Act.

This is equivalent to asking both sides to give up the means of putting pressure on each other at the same time, and changing the confrontation between the two sides from the previous mutual explosion to a political game that returns to the rules of the game.

This is actually an intention that both parties hope to reach. After all, neither side wants to actually fight. But this is a proposal from the Supervisory Committee after all, so in the spirit of opposing for the sake of opposing, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally raise objections - it's just that the proposal from the Mieszko Group seems to be somewhat sincere.

But this is exactly what Qiao Yelan wanted to see, so when he found the time was ripe, he called Bain and had a secret negotiation with Chairman Meshko. Eventually the Meshko Group gave in and allowed the agreement to pass, which reduced the tension in the war of words in the National House a little.

Soon, as a response from the Chamber of Commerce, they also raised another issue that could bring the bilateral relations closer.

"The Commerce Union and the Supervisory Council will jointly organize a team to go to the Leitanian imperial capital, Trilintelme, to sign a covenant between Casimir and Leitania with the new twin queens."

Bain finished reading his agenda and sat down.

The reason he took the lead in the charge this time was because this proposal was directly related to the compensation he could receive. Qiao Yelan had already made a promise to him and Meshko that as long as Casimir did not object, he could deal with the Twin Queens.

So he also needs to work harder.

The Supervisory Committee was a little unsure of the Chamber of Commerce's intentions at first, but after discussion, they felt that this matter was indeed worth continuing to advance.

Casimir and Lethania have always been traditional allies. They once joined hands to fight against the expansion of Ursus. However, when Gaul was at its peak, Casimir had some ulterior motives and wanted to sell out Lethania in exchange for Gaul's support - because after Gaul occupied Lethania, it would be bordering Ursus. This way, the trouble could be diverted to the east and Gaul and Ursus could fight each other.

And then... nothing happened

The result of the Battle of the Four Emperors dumbfounded Casimir, who had remained neutral. Victoria, Leitania and Ursus joined forces to eat their fill in Gaul at the same time, and these three countries all bordered Casimir.

Originally, Victoria and Casimir had a bad relationship. And the relationship between Lethania, the original ally against Ursus, began to take a sharp turn for the worse after Casimir refused to join the anti-Gallic alliance. The Witch King even sent a letter to question Casimir.

This gave the Ursus Empire, which had been blocked from moving south by the two countries, an opportunity - with someone's "diplomatic mediation", the first thing Vladimir did after ascending the throne was to sign the "Ursus-Lethania Non-Aggression Treaty" with Hercules.

Such a heavyweight treaty naturally caused a huge stir throughout the Western world.

The sudden deterioration of the international diplomatic situation eventually made Casimir suffer the consequences in 1062. In the Tenth Urcas War that broke out that year, the huge Ursus army overwhelmed the defenses of the Knights of Casimir, but Leithania and Victoria simultaneously rejected Casimir's request for help.

If it were not for the sudden emergence of a military genius, Cyril Linguang, who relied on the terrain advantage and used the young and strong men in reserve and temporary signs to hold off the unstoppable Ursus army at almost any cost, creating an opportunity for the then Grand Knight Long Silver Spear Pegasus to turn the tide, Casimir might have lost more than just the small piece of land in the Governorate of East Casimir.

But now, the two emperors who signed the non-aggression treaty have passed away one after another, and the peace between Leithania and Ursus has ceased to exist. Even shortly after the Witch King was assassinated, Ursus's Second Army brazenly launched an expedition and invaded Leithania's Heidenschwil region.

The news coming out of Leithania now is obviously not optimistic. The noble coalition of the Heidenschwil region was almost shattered by the Ursus army. What is blocking the Second Army now is not the Leithania army, but the Ursus army's own poor pre-war preparations and logistical support.

However, it is said that the commander of the Second Army, Grand Duke Nicholas, has already mobilized the Seventh Army to join the offensive sequence heading south, and the new emperor of Ursus has also approved Nicholas to rebuild another army - all signs indicate that Ursus seems to have a tendency to expand the war.

At this time, the newly crowned Emperor of Leitania would surely be eager to seek an external force to help them. If Casimir stood up and made his position clear, the other party would not be able to refuse. Once Leitania could rely on Casimir to overcome this difficulty, the alliance between the two countries would surely be re-established.

Then the Supervisory Council would naturally be relieved. After all, they were in turmoil at the moment, and if the Ursus army came, they would not be able to withstand it. If Leitania helped to share the pressure, the new emperor would certainly consider launching a war more carefully.

Therefore, the proposal was approved after only a symbolic discussion with strong support from both sides.

The Chamber of Commerce will be represented by Babel Tower, Rose Press, and the Mieszko Group, while the Supervisory Council will be represented by Cyril's eldest son, Snitz Lingguang, who will lead a team of silver-spear Pegasus.

Together, they will form an official Casimir diplomatic mission to the Leithanian imperial capital of Trilinterme to sign a series of mutual assistance treaties with the crowned twin queens, Ivignad and Helinmart.

Qiao Yelan showed a harmless smile and, like the other participants around him, applauded and congratulated the passage of the motion.

He turned his head and greeted his students with a gentle voice.

"This matter has finally come to an end, Kashena - we should pack up and prepare to return to Trilinterme."

Kashena, who was sitting next to him, kept her head down the whole time and didn't even dare to raise her eyes to meet Qiao Yelan's gaze.

She was now sitting in her seat, her hands shaking and her body unable to move.

Because it was not until just now, after Qiao Yelan said the four words "come to an end", that she finally figured out one thing -

Every action of this man, and every consequence it triggered, ultimately led the three countries toward what seemed to be the best choice - but what if we look at it separately?

Is their choice really the best future for their country?

Ursus simply does not have the ability to launch another all-out war, Casimir is stuck in internal strife and cannot extricate himself, and Leitania is now in pieces, a mess that cannot be propped up.

But they didn't know each other.

Ursus didn't know that Casimir was in civil strife and Leitania was on the verge of disintegration - otherwise Nikola would have risked his life to take over the Heidenschwil region. This would not only restore the confidence of the army and the nobility, further destroying the foundation of Leitania's founding [Golden Rule], but would also accelerate the recovery of the dilapidated economic operation.

Casimir didn't know that Ursus was now so weak and Leithania was useless - otherwise Cyril would definitely turn to support the former Grand Knight, destroy the Commercial Federation, and squeeze out enough wealth and materials at one time to compete with Ursus in consumption, once and for all, making this huge empire fall apart due to hunger and war.

The electors of Leithania did not know that Ursus was just bluffing and that their new emperor had no power at all, so they could only hold their noses and forcibly recognize the two twins as emperors, and then anxiously discuss how to deal with this war that seemed doomed to fail.

So what was the reason that ultimately led the three countries to choose to act in this way?

Going back to the original source, it seems that...

——Qiao Yelan asked Ivignad to sell all the assets and qualifications of Elector Heidenschwill.

The nobles of Heidenschwill were therefore divided, and eventually they pieced themselves together. The seemingly united but actually divided coalition seemed vulnerable in front of the Ursus army, which would make Leithania and the surrounding countries feel threatened, as if the former glory of the Ursus army had returned again.

Therefore, this victory made the Casimir people worried, fearing that the Ursus Empire would be unable to stand on its own after defeating Leithania. Therefore, this time they would sincerely want to help Leithania, both militarily and financially, and would definitely help the twin emperors get through the most difficult period.

The alliance between Casimir and Letania could shock the Ursus Empire - even if Feodor and Nikolai were both dazzled by this overly easy victory, this alliance would be enough to make them wake up, give up further plans, and return to the established route planned by Qiao Yelan.

Each chain is interlocked with each other, so that even if Kashena blocks her own memory, she will not be able to find the context of the whole thing, let alone deduce the ins and outs.

Every country and every force was like a puppet in Qiao Yelan's hands. They thought they had made the best choice, but in the end, all of them led to only one result -

That is, the Gemini Queen will completely grasp her throne, and there will be no possibility of it being shaken.

The Electors will temporarily give up their fight for the throne because of the threat of war. The people of Leithania will see that they have won another war under the leadership of the new emperor, and the domestic public opinion and political situation will immediately become favorable to them.

As for external forces, Casimir's Business Union and the Supervisory Council will make great efforts to support the twins, which will give them the capital to develop Trilintelme, while Ursus will be busy using the looted wealth to restore its own economy and will have no time to cause trouble for them...

Everyone, every force, and even every country will be satisfied with the status quo, or at least temporarily satisfied. After thinking about it, everyone will come to the conclusion that supporting or ignoring the enthronement of the twin queens will be their best choice.

So, is this really the result of their own thinking?

Everyone will answer: Yes.

Miss Black Snake, who had just received remedial lessons, knew that there was another explanation for this answer -

Every one of them is thinking about implementing Qiao Yelan's will.

Because Qiao Yelan wants the Gemini to ascend the throne, these people will also tend to let the Gemini ascend the throne.

Because Qiao Yelan wants to solve the problem, these people will also provide the means and resources to solve the problem.

Because Qiao Yelan hopes that the situation will continue like this——

So these people really let the situation continue like this!

[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? ]

No one knows that they are Qiao Yelan's chess pieces, and no one can tell that others are Qiao Yelan's chess pieces.

This is what shocked Kashena and even frightened her -

Everyone is a chess piece, so what about the chess player?

From beginning to end, it seemed that Qiao Yelan was the only chess player in this game.

Qiao Yelan does not only appear at the beginning and the end of a story.

But everyone can only remember that he appeared at the beginning and only remember that he appeared at the end.

What happened in the middle?

do not know.

What did Qiao Yelan do?

do not know.

How did he do it?

do not know.

In this process, Qiao Yelan could even break everything down and explain the most direct truths to himself using the most direct examples.

I listened attentively, studied hard, and even watched it all from the perspective of a bystander.

And until she saw the final ending, she still knew nothing about what was happening before her.

She just stood next to Qiao Yelan and was lucky enough to watch the whole process.

During this process, Kasheina knew what happened and what Qiao Yelan did.

But how did Qiao Yelan do it?

do not know.

have no idea!

For the first time, Black Snake had the urge to ignore everything and escape from Qiao Yelan immediately.

That is the most deep-rooted instinct as a living being.

Will to survive.

Chapter 76: Return to Trillintelme

When Casimir's delegation arrived in Trilinterme, Qiao Yelan was a little confused by the people who came out to greet them.

"I am Leitania's Foreign Minister Fremont, and I welcome you all to Trillintelme."

The old lich had an innate elegance, as if he were an old noble of Leithania.

Qiao Yelan looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to come out and take responsibility. This was quite rare.

The old lich's mouth twitched when he saw Qiao Yelan. He was obviously not prepared for this guy to appear in the delegation.

But he is a man who has seen the world after all. Although he has not studied "The Actor's Self-cultivation" with Qiao Yelan, he can still get away with it with his age and experience.

Snitz Linguang, who came from the military, was observing the Golden Law Guards behind the old lich with a serious face. He could feel the power of this army.

The businessmen, on the other hand, are more focused on observing the current status and business environment of Trilintelme.
