Chapter 178: Counterattack Plan

Hearing that Detective Meteor was going to take action against the City Alchemist Association, all three of them showed shocked expressions.

Lady Mihir even stopped and said, "No, we can't provoke the City Alchemist Association. ”

The economic status of the city is not only due to its special geographical environment, but also because of the large number of official and private research institutions it is located in. There is the Oulu Academy, where you can get excellent talents nearby, and even get the technical support of the college, and there is a completed industry, which can quickly turn new technologies into entities and produce them at the lowest cost; It connects empires and the world, and can turn technology into wealth in a very short time.

Then invest the wealth in the development of new technologies.

It is this virtuous circle that has created the current Angry Waves City.

The City Alchemist Association of Angry Waves City is a combination of these scientific research institutions. It was originally established as a co-ordinator, subdividing a development project into research institutes. The association only exists as a technical exchange and integration organization, and is a purely technical organization.

However, with the accumulation of technology and wealth of the City Alchemist Association of Angry Waves, its influence on all aspects of the city has become more and more significant. When the association realized that it could influence the city's governance decisions, it gradually changed its flavor.

As the City Alchemist Association penetrated into the administrative circle of Angry Waves City, the new aristocratic forces also infiltrated the Alchemist Association and became a community of interests.

Now the three technical members of the city council of Angry Waves City are all members of the City Alchemist Association, and Mrs. Mihir is naturally too.

Viscount Iscoran was also aware of the power of the City Alchemist Association in Angry Waves, and he persuaded Luke: "Although you have been brought back from this passive situation, and I have agreed to use the accident of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship to do something, we must not provoke the City Alchemist Association."

In Angry Waves City, people who are ostracized by the City Alchemist Association will definitely not be able to survive here. ”

Councillor Ibur also said: "Yes...... A lot of the technology that my factory uses, and the patents are in the hands of the Urban Alchemist Guild. If they don't allow me to use these techniques, I'll be bankrupt! ”

"You don't have to be nervous, just sue." Luke said lightly: "And we are suing the City Alchemist Association in the court of Angry Waves City, and the association will not get any punishment and loss, and we have also shown our attitude."

The City Alchemist Association is not a tight-knit organization, many of its research institutes rely on selling patents to make a living, and some of their research is also not able to sustain themselves.

This time, our focus is on the research institutions involved in the hydrogen airship. Now I have good reason to be skeptical...... The so-called hydrogen airship R&D investment is an outright financial fraud. They raised so much money to make this thing? ”

Luke pointed to the sky.

At this time, the fire mass in the high altitude had disappeared, and the hydrogen gas burned very quickly, leaving a white cloud there.

After hearing Luke's words, Councilor Ibur immediately said indignantly: "Yes! This is definitely a financial scam! When they asked me for investment, they swore frankly and frankly told me that hydrogen airships are a cross-era means of transportation. Whoever invests money in this project will win the future.

Now look at it, it's a disaster!

Someone has to be responsible, someone has to pay back my hard-earned money! ”

Ibub is so excited, which shows that he has invested a lot of money in the hydrogen airship project. Originally, he thought that his money would be wasted because of the accident of the Changxiang-class airship. Now that the Meteorite Inspector is so guilty, maybe he can recover some of his money.

With his relationship with Detective Meteor, it is not impossible for them all to come back.

Viscount Iscoran tasted Luke's killer move this time.

Looking around, those who beat their chests didn't notice that the Meteorite Detective, who was supposed to be on the airship, had unexpectedly appeared here. It is estimated that their minds have long since remembered the duel, and their hearts are completely filled with the fire of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship.

The hydrogen airship is a research and development project that the Urban Alchemist Association of Angry Waves has focused on promoting in recent years. If hydrogen airships can replace steam airships, then Angry Waves will have a monopoly on the manufacturing, consumables, and maintenance of hydrogen airships. Angry Waves City will also change from a marine city to a "city in the sky" sitting on an airship.

Due to the vast money of the hydrogen airship, some powerful people in the hands of Angry Waves City want a piece of the cake. The City Alchemist Association of Angry Waves City has also half-pushed and half-done, and has extensively financed the development and subsequent construction of hydrogen airships in Angry Waves City.

Then some people found that this financing not only raised all the funds needed to develop hydrogen airships, but also made a lot of money. wanted to stop financing, and as a result, some people invested money in the project through various connections.

So the hydrogen airship R&D project was released to collect money, anyway, after the hydrogen airship was promoted, it would be trivial to repay the money.

These days, Angry Waves has been promoting hydrogen airships in various ways. It is believed that the technology of hydrogen airship is mature and can be used for an aerial transformation and realization.

Outcome...... No one expected that the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship would catch fire, and it would still burn vigorously under the gaze of almost all the residents of Angry Waves City. The foam, which has been inflated many times by an unknown number of times, also exploded at this moment.

Who will carry this pot?

In the face of the City Alchemist Association, probably everyone can only admit that "investment is risky".

But if this incident is characterized as a financial fraud, it means something else.

Detective Meteorite Sues the City Alchemist Guild for Murder...... Although the crime is big, it is insignificant, and the city court will acquit the city alchemist association on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

But it set a precedent for prosecuting the City Alchemist Guild for felony crimes.

Then, when investigating the hydrogen airship research and development project, it was revealed that the project was suspected of financial fraud...... There is no need to even fabricate evidence, and the accounts of this project simply do not stand up to scrutiny.

At that time, the lawsuit suing the City Alchemist Association for fraud could drown the city court!

Viscount Iscoran, who figured out the whole thing, couldn't help but admire: "Inspector, this duel of yours is too beautiful. Seemingly...... The City Alchemist Guild will provide the hydrogen airship as a dueling arena, and you can expect it to have an accident under the watchful eyes of so many people. ”

Luke said, "I proposed to use the airship as a dueling arena, and the City Alchemist Association will definitely not let go of this opportunity to promote the hydrogen airship." As for the accident...... It was a real accident! ”

Viscount Iskoran understood and replied with a smile: "Yes, it was an accident...... An accident that no one wants to see. ”

Luke and Iscoran's hidden answer also made Mrs. Mihir figure out what was behind the incident.

If the City Alchemist Association really falls into the quagmire of financial fraud because of this, it will be a heavy and lasting blow to those officials and businessmen who have invested in the hydrogen airship project, as well as the City Alchemist Association.

The tacit understanding between them and the rules formed will be seriously damaged, and the new aristocratic forces will turn against each other. The credibility and influence of the City Alchemist Association have shrunk severely, and the City Council and Council are no longer able to unite against their new forces.

"Wonderful, very exciting, it was a very good duel.

We're going to launch a decisive counteroffensive! ”

Several veterans of the Innovation Society decided to contribute to the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship accident and launch a major counterattack against the old system of Angry Waves.

Viscount Iscollan and Lady Mihir, who understood it, knew what to do and didn't need much guidance, and the two of them left quickly.

Luke took Councillor Able to his car alone and gave him a face-to-face lecture.

Councillor Ibur has invested a lot of money in the hydrogen airship project, and almost all the businessmen in Raging Waves have invested in this project. It's a very big force, and Luke asks Councillor Ibur to count them all.

"Don't tell them just yet, we're going to recover the money and fines from the City Alchemist Association. You just need to keep in touch with these businessmen and be able to bring them all together when I need them. ”

Councillor Ibur was a little happy but a little unbelieving when he heard that his money was not only hopeful of being returned, but also that he would be compensated: "Inspector...... What are we going to do if the City Alchemist Guild doesn't give money? We can't offend the Alchemist Guild! ”

"Councilor, when this matter has fermented and exploded, the Alchemist Association of that city will not be the Alchemist Association it is now. The Alchemist Guild should return to its original duties, we are its financiers, and it should serve us.

Of course...... As long as the Alchemist Guild is willing to compromise with us, the money can be left out for the time being, and even the money can be lent to it to tide it over. ”

"Is it possible to have the City Alchemist Guild compromise with us?" Councilor Ibur, who has been pinched by the City Alchemist Association, still doesn't believe it.

Luke could see that Councillor Ibur hadn't been able to see what the City Alchemist Guild was going to face, and he said, "If you don't compromise, then give money." Rest assured...... They didn't have a choice. No matter how domineering the City Alchemist Association is, it can't owe money and not pay it back. ”

"Well, I believe you. I will contact the businessmen who invest in hydrogen airships...... People I know have invested in it. ”

"Also, keep your newspaper ready to cooperate with our side of the action. I want headlines, and headlines have to be mine. ”

"That's fine......," Councillor Ebur assured, "and the headlines of my newspaper are ready for you, Inspector." As long as you are instructed to do so, no matter how big something happens that day, it will not be able to take away your position. ”

"Very good, pay attention to secrecy!"

Councillor Ibur left happily.

Karina, who got into the car and walked beside Luke, was finally able to speak to him: "Detective, I just saw the airship explode, and I feel like my heart is broken. Thank goodness you're safe and sound...... You're not hurt, are you? ”

Facing Karina, who cared about him, Luke replied, "I'm fine, I left when the airship exploded, but Edgar was unlucky."

Let's go back, Inspector, I'm going to take you to a big thing.

Drive! ”

The detective's convoy returns to the Haijiao District Intelligence Bureau.

No sooner had Luke sat in his office than Mrs. Tasia sent someone to report.

Four Adonis-class steam warships have been captured.

In the face of Naga's surprise attack, the crew of the steam battleship did not make a decent defense, and after Lady Tasya took over with the armed ship, they all surrendered.

The four steam warships fell into Luke's hands almost unscathed.

Luke replied to Lady Tasia for her victory. and officially assigned these four steam warships to the anti-smuggling fleet of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, and handed them over to the command of Mrs. Tasya.

At the same time put all the crew members of the Saxon engineering and let them give a message to their bosses.

Luke expressed his deep condolences over Edgar's death: he was a good warrior who fought for the duel even in the face of the fire on the airship.

However, he was still burned to death.

The four Adonis-class steam warships were Edgar's dueling winners, and since he lost, the four ships were in the possession of the Cape Secret Intelligence Bureau.

As for whether Edgar has the right to use the battleships belonging to the Saxon Project as duel heads, Luke said that he doesn't care, anyway, it is just an excuse to hack the four steam warships.

The Saxon Project wants to ask for it, and it is a protracted war of words, and it will be played with.

After ending the incident at Cape Harbor, Luke immediately threw himself into the counteroffensive plan.

First of all, as the secret intelligence bureau of Haijiao District, he sued the City Alchemist Association for the murder of the inspector of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau in the city court of Angry Waves City. The Changxiang-class hydrogen airship is a dueling arena provided by the City Alchemist Association, and the hydrogen inside is filled by the City Alchemist Association.

Hydrogen that is supposed to be safe will explode, and it is clearly a premeditated murder.

In order to make this lawsuit more powerful, Luke deliberately spent a lot of money to hire a team of lawyers known as "Pizza Hut in Fury City" to have a dignified court showdown with the City Alchemist Association.

I don't want Pizza Hut to win in a row, but I want to build momentum. With the aftermath of the explosion of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship, coupled with the rhythm of the newspaper, this incident continues to stir up. Increase its exposure and attention, and keep pouring salt into the wounds of those investors.

Let them open their eyes in the morning and go to bed at night, surrounded by information about the failure of the hydrogen airship project, and their hearts are full of burned money.

It's all his hard-earned money.

Once they start to get stuck in the information cocoon, they can manipulate their consciousness and behavior through information. When the bomb that has been planted is detonated at the last moment, they will no longer be afraid of the City Alchemist Association, and they will go crazy to attack the City Alchemist Association in order to get back the money.

At that time, the sky of Fury Waves City was truly clear.

In order to fight the lawsuit, Luke sent all the people who could be sent by the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau to recover the remains of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship and look for evidence of the murder of the City Alchemist Guild. At the same time, they also used the expertise of the secret agents to falsify some evidence...... Play slowly!
