"You're so heartless." The big eyes under the short white hair looked straight at Ofe Mondrich.

Even if the four eyes are facing each other, the director who has seen a lot of battles will not panic. He met the eyes that shot at his legs, and said word by word: "I don't say this ruthlessly, this is just my reasonable speculation. ”

With that, the carriage passed all the way through the grape trellises and vegetable gardens outside the city, and had reached the door. Alena glanced at the front of the car and immediately sat down.

The spear-wielding guard who opened the door was followed by a civilian official. He hurriedly dismounted and ran to the front of the car, and said to Offe Mondridge breathlessly: "Chief, Lord Director, Rucha has been defeated, and he is on his way back to Garcia. ”

"Did the letter say how many troops he had left?" Offy Mondridge immediately asked.

The civil official hesitated and took out the letterhead, but was snatched away by Eufe Mondridge, and read it with three eyes.

"This Rucha." Offe Mondrich folded the letter three times and threw it to the trembling civil servant. "I actually have a brain and know how to run away with my tail between my legs. If you draw up an order, say that I have strictly ordered him not to take even a step back from Garcia. If he doesn't comply, it's not that I'm going to ask him. He should understand what I mean. ”

"Yes......" the civil official nodded tremblingly, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street on his horse.

"Did the letter say anything?" Elena returned to her clingy stance, blowing in Uffy Mondridge's ear.

"The Western Expeditionary Army brought most of the soldiers and horses back to the place of departure." Eufe Mondrich did not care about talking about military secrets in front of "outsiders". "If he had been as enthusiastic and brainless as he had been, then my prediction would have come true."

Elena suddenly smiled like a demon. She said her understanding while running her fingers at the neck of Ofe Mondridge: "Do you want to say that it's a pity that your original partner didn't fold on the battlefield with Rucha?" ”

The director stroked the stubble slightly. "I can't say it's a pity, it's better that they can give me more buffer time in Garcia." Without waiting for the melting iceberg to speak, he continued to explain why. "It takes time to make this new weapon, it takes time to steal those treasures from Elta and their partners with fake copper coins, and it takes time to use them to get more riches. It will take time to train the infantry to use this new weapon and to guide them in the tactics of developing them. I need time, a lot of time. ”

The girl in her arms couldn't accept so much information, but she still kept nodding.

"The Western Expeditionary Army, which has high morale in the whole state, cannot win from the enemy, so there is only one way to think about it...... The enemy that emerges now is not overwhelming us with the strength we recognize, so we have to imitate their way of fighting, and move in parallel from the two directions of strategy and tactics that dominate victory...... Then there is a possibility of victory. ”

"Mmmmmmmm......mmmm

Just as Offmontridge was instilling knowledge in his right-hand man in the future, at the freight transfer station at the base of the portal, the iron boxes with the warehousing list and seals were pushed from the platform to the freight car by the porter.

"500,000? Nearly two tons of brass tweed. The train escort checked the contents of the boxes one by one, checked the weight with the weighbridge and checked the number of boxes, and signed the seal between the upper and lower copies of the escort note with the escort in charge of truck transportation. All important goods have to go through formalities, and the same goes for the blister copper that is being delivered today.

When I opened each iron box, it was full of fake five-pointed copper coins from all the way from Xierqi. These counterfeit copper coins, which were exchanged by the intermediary dealer several times and finally arrived at various channels of Elta, once aroused the alarm of the store and the expatriate personnel of the People's Bank of China. Of course, the shopkeeper and the cashier took them with a green face.

"I worked hard, but I couldn't even get through the coin slot of the rocking car." This is what the staff of the People's Bank of China's Currency Gold and Silver Bureau, who were sent to Elta, had to say about these copper coins, which clearly bear traces of handiwork.

However, when it comes to monetary credit, these fake pentagrams, either brought by a short-legged peddler pushing a wheelbarrow, or by a bitter haha with only one carriage, are annoying to look at, but fortunately it is not a few thousand fake red tickets that can make the new district unbearable. Therefore, although he felt that the fraud was clumsy, the cashier had to take all the orders according to the above arrangement - except to keep them in a separate book, and take them to the treasury at the time of daily settlement.

However, looking at the copper coins piled higher and higher in the warehouse, they soon found a new way out in the cracks of acid and alkali reagents. The copper used to make the Hilqi Counterfeit Brass Coin was actually blister copper, but it was not surprising to the researchers. The history of human use of electrolytic refined copper is not long, and the widespread use of bronze and brass is due to the direct smelting of symbiotic ores.

After using the fake copper coins as electrodes, the researchers actually found gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, and palladium from the electrode slag while obtaining refined copper...... It's a treasure trove to deliver to your door.

The cashiers who once saw fake copper coins with a straight face, the shop owners saw that within a few days, they swept away the gloom on their faces and greeted the increasing number of fake copper coins with a standard smile. These copper coins are still kept separately and shipped back to China separately every day. Immediately after returning to China, they are transferred and recast into electrolytic electrodes and added to the production line of refined copper electrolysis. You don't have to think about it to know that all kinds of precious metals, which are associated with copper mines, have already made this batch of blister copper delivered to the door worth the price of the price - not to mention the price of refined copper itself.

Straddling the two ends of the portal and the east and west poles of Elta, a ridiculous and reasonable drama has quietly unfolded. On one side, Hilzi, the director of the Western Expeditionary Army, hastened to urge the alchemy studio, which already had the size of a medium-sized workshop, to speed up the production of more counterfeit copper coins, and the copper extracted from all over the country with sulfuric acid and iron, and the brass smelted directly from the zinc-copper symbiotic ore, as well as all the materials that Eufe Mondrich wanted and all the funds needed to exchange the Chinese goods—those beautiful utensils and exquisite knick-knacks. These copper coins were either directly exchanged for gold and silver, or exchanged for all kinds of intelligence of the new army, or brought into the western zone to exchange them directly for Chinese goods.

The new city and the portal base, which should have suffered a loss, received these forgeries with a 500% service smile like fools, and the welcome to them jumped on the page. The more counterfeit copper coins were minted, the more wealth and resources Euffel Mondridge accumulated, and the more counterfeit copper coins merchants restocked, the happier they earned. Needless to say, the refineries behind it are thirsting for more of these high-quality blister copper as electrodes to extract more cheap refined copper and precious metals......

The win-win concept that several parties have been longing for since the establishment of the new district-Elta system has actually come true here for the first time. When the coal mines in the Noi area were still being built, the enemies of Elta and the new area actually joined forces to make a lot of money with them, which cannot but make people feel emotional.

However, the second purpose of Efmontridge's great efforts to make counterfeit copper coins is basically equivalent to taking the sand and reclaiming the sea. The counterfeit copper coins that are stored in the new area every day will not continue to circulate in the market for the reason he thinks "to make up for the loss". Indeed, if these copper coins are of no use or just waste paper that is hard to wipe your buttocks, then if you want to maintain the monetary credit of the renminbi, it is indeed a bit of a pain to confiscate all these copper coins. Unfortunately, the coins were worth more than the face value of their lost face value. After these counterfeit copper coins are put into the huge Elta market, as soon as they come into contact with the hands of the yellow race, there is no possibility of them coming out.

And then what? Whether it is the wages paid to the workers, or the large amount of change, the shadow of counterfeit copper coins will never be seen. More than tens of thousands of fake copper coins that have reached here have long since fallen into the bottomless pit. This war, with no swords and guns, no shouting and killing, was decided long before Lucha and the Southern Route Army retreated to the western border.

And the monetary tightening is only the alleviation of the situation on the side of Offe Mondridge. If all the copper and silver coins in the market except for the renminbi are dyed and the direction of their flow is seen like an observation cell, then looking at Elta from the air, the observer will find that all the gold and silver are flowing to the east and west poles with the continuous proliferation of fake copper coins and real renminbi except for the gap used to lubricate the circulation of the yuan. One side transports all the gold and silver through the portal, while the other side uses them as an important trade currency.

In the cities and towns in the west, the renminbi has long since become a currency that can be used for direct consumption, along with gold and silver coins. Just as it is natural for people to accept the double moon of large gold coins, and to mint silver coins privately by various lords. What's even more ridiculous is that the year of production on the renminbi has actually become part of the "fineness". While there is nothing wrong with the nickel-plated steel core, people tend to look at the comfortable "200X" series over the uncomfortable-looking "201X" series. Only near the basin of the shield city and the new city will all the one yuan be treated as equal face value.

The reason for this discrepancy is due to the fact that the sluggish traffic in the western part of Elta has not improved at all outside the Shield City-New Town, and the various counterfeit copper coins produced by Euffer Mondridge are also in these areas. The only way to solve the problem of transportation between these cities, and between them and the nearby chaotic countryside, was to rely on the warriors and magicians who had already entered the prisoner of war camps and who were still fighting in fear of Garcia.
