The Happiest Chapter for the Kაზimierzans

The Outrage sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It's been really difficult to procure Rim Billiton carrots lately. It's all because..."

Comparatively, Terra's logistics industry is underdeveloped. For luxurious, expensive, and presentable "decorative" fruits like pineapples, cargo ships can dedicate storage facilities. However, for "fresh vegetables" like carrots, if they want to overcome numerous obstacles to reach Kazimierz, they can only become canned carrots, losing all their freshness.

The young woman muttered to herself, a bead of sweat gathering on her forehead and rolling down her brow. It traced the delicate yet slightly sun-tanned bridge of the rabbit's nose, following its gentle curve, and seemed about to soak into her eye.

Oute reached out without anyone noticing and caught the glistening dewdrop on his fingertip.

The Outrage felt as if the whole world had fallen silent, and even her own heartbeat sounded like thunder. Clinging to the tail of the horse was the tinnitus that was gradually peeling away from the underlying noise.

What... is he going to do?

Fingertips withdraw.

A sense of loss washed over her as she recounted the Outrage, the rest of her words escaping her lips. "... It's all the Victoria' fault."

Oute moved closer and asked, "What do you mean?"

Knock knock.

"..." The Outrage stopped what she was doing, and she began to recall in a flustered manner, "Back in Lungmen, I found that Rim Billiton carrot canned goods were hard to buy. Luckily, I met a Forte business expert who answered my questions..."

Forte Business Expert?

It's a bread person modeled after the French croissant, Croissant!

Indeed, we had already officially signed a contract with Penguin Logistics when we were traveling between Lungmen Chernobog... Speaking of which, we can trouble them more often when the aircraft is unavailable.

While Oute frowned, the other operators listened quietly.

They astutely grasped the key information: the Outrage had been preparing for this "taste test" in front of Oute for over a month.

"That expert told me that recently, businessmen in Victoria have been hyping up our carrots." The Outrage sighed, "Eating Rim Billiton carrots can keep you young, healthy, and even has miraculous effects on skin care..."

Yan, who had been trying her best to remain inconspicuous, exclaimed excitedly, "Really!?"

Oute replied, "That's certainly true if we're only talking about efficacy and not dosage."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Yan didn't hear the first half of the sentence at all. She immediately took out her phone, and her fingers under her manicured nails moved at lightning speed, ordering a large number of carrots as if by lightning.

"..." Tsukino glanced at it and kindly reminded her, "What you just ordered wasn't Rim Billiton carrots, it was Rum Billiton carrots."

"Huh?" Yan immediately tried to cancel the order, "Huh!? Why!? Why do I have to pay a penalty for canceling!?"

Oute reached out his hand, while Yan stared at him with wet, pitiful, and affected eyes.

"Kazimierz Electronic Shopping Bay ..." Oute frowned. "You can actually buy 'futures' on this kind of shopping app!?"

The term "futures" originally referred to as a mutual commitment between a buyer and a seller. They agreed to trade a specific quantity of a specific commodity at a specific price at a future point in time.

With the development of financial games, these "agreed purchase" orders themselves have also become involved in buying and selling. As the rules of the game are gradually established and referees and regulatory bodies are introduced, "futures" trading is becoming increasingly financialized.

Today, there are probably far more bankers who profit from the ups and downs of commodity prices than factory owners who crave stable trading channels, prices, and quantities.

Oute continued his investigation.

"Meshko Group".

Following the Tenth Ursus-Kazimierz War in 1062, as a price for defeat, the Kazakhs were to pay the Ukrainians compensation with three Mobile City comprising at least twenty-five plots of land. Project director Roman Meshko used this opportunity to establish Meshko Industries.

In the decades that followed, Meshko Industries gradually evolved into a giant conglomerate encompassing finance, insurance, Originium industry, military industry, and mobile platform construction— the Meshko Group —and became one of the dominant business oligarchs in Kazimierz.

However, due to its history, although "Industry" is only one of its subsidiaries, Kazimierz still habitually refers to it as "Meshko Industries" rather than "Meshko Group".

Oute shook his head.

Very well, those involved in this "reckless" act are not only the unscrupulous merchants of Victoria, but also the tycoons of Kazimierz.

"Yan, when our new Kazimierz legal counsel arrives, go see her." Oute handed the terminal back to her, then added, "These are genuine Rim Billiton cans."

Yan shouted loudly, "Long live the Doctor!"

It goes without saying that it is utterly absurd to launch high-risk futures trading on an online shopping platform as if it were a joke. Even if you manage to fool a rash "college student" like Yan, it's unlikely you'll make Doli.

Such ridiculous, unrestrained, and reckless behavior... is precisely the epitome of Kazimierz.

"At this price point..." After a moment's thought, Oute stood up. "PRTS, give me a list of Rim Billiton's agricultural data for recent years. I need it later."

Kazimierz, Victoria, Rim Billiton... these are the directly related parties.

With Rim Billiton's organizational model, it is utterly powerless to resist the spontaneous grassroots movement to switch from rice paddies to mulberry fields and plant "cash crops." In the worst-case scenario, widespread famine would erupt. Apart from Kazimierz and Victoria, other places that are too closely integrated with "international finance" would also experience subtle economic shocks.

There is a large profit margin here, and there is also a greater possibility of pursuing legitimacy, legitimacy, and even justice.

A pleasant electronic voice came from the terminal inside Oute pocket. "With pleasure."

The original plans and blueprints are about to be scrapped and redrawn again.

"Doc Otter?" Amiya tugged at his sleeve. "We still..."

Should we continue cooking?

Without hesitation, Oute said, "Let's continue!"

As he spoke, he placed his thoughts on Nearl was far away in Chernobog.

Chapter 293 The Happiest Chapter for the Kazimierz

Margaret Nearl, the "Radiant Knight," is a humble and upright person whose Originium Arts are known for their "light." She is another figure on Rhodes Island whose code name is derived from her family name.

She was a renowned figure in Kazimierz: she was the champion of the 22nd Knights' Tournament in 1091 and a long rider of the famous knightly family, the "Nearl" family.

The current Grand Knight Commander, Ioleta Russell, was saved by Margaret's grandfather, Cyril, during the Ursus-Kazimierz War many years ago. Inspired by Cyril, she followed Cyril to aid other knights, thus establishing Ioleta's prestige among the knights and ultimately helping her become the leader of the Grand Knight Council.

Furthermore, although modern Kazimierz was established by overthrowing the rule of the Pegasi people, almost all knight families take pride in their Pegasi bloodline to some extent. The Nearl Family, in particular, has a strong Pegasus bloodline.

It's fair to say that if Margaret joins the Campaign Knight as planned, there's a 70-80% chance that Nearl will be elected as the new leader by the Knights after Ioleta retires.

In the hearts of the general public, including a significant portion of the knights, this player who never gives up and refuses to compromise with capital is the embodiment of the spirit of the Kazimierz knights.

Even now, after she was protectively expelled for opposing the Commercial Union under the pretext of "Oripathy," everyone in Kazimierz is still thrilled by the name "Nearl."

Such a girl, such a knight!

Margaret Nearl!

Fertilizer production is being monitored.

Nearl's resolute and passionate gaze quickly transformed into a calm, still expression. She glanced around and then stepped into the shadows.

"How have you considered the proposal from last time?"

In a corner of the factory, Ma Niang muttered to herself.

"Just like last time, the work here in Chernobog is now able to help even more people."

Oute bluntly stated, "Not necessarily."

"But Chernobog still needs..." Nearl started to say, then realized, "What happened to Kazimierz!?"

"Everything's alright for now," Oute said. "Besides, it might not be Kazimierz's in trouble."

"In short: After Victoria capital pried open a corner, all the sharks smelled blood, and they swarmed in, wreaking havoc."

"If left unchecked and allowed to develop naturally, then in the best-case scenario, only Rim Billiton will experience a small-scale famine."

Nearl grew accustomed to Oute's extreme assumptions, she asked directly, "What about the worst-case scenario and the most probable scenario?"

"In the worst-case scenario, Rim Billiton a famine affecting millions; the entire core financial order will collapse again, and Yan will be deeply mired in its own troubles, unable to act as savior once more. The chain reaction will lead to Tara Victoria region breaking away in an extremely bloody and brutal manner, with dukes tearing each other apart and engaging in violent civil war; Columbia capital will dump milk into the river, and laborers will sleep covered with newspapers; Leithanien and Ursus will divide up Kazimierz; Sargon's army will once again march on Minos."

"... The whole world is in chaos, but that's something we should be trying to avoid, right?"

"..."

"Doc Otter, shouldn't we avoid this?"

It's hard to say.

Oute remained noncommittal. "In the most probable scenario, a large number of farmers in Rim Billiton go bankrupt, and cities like Columbia, Victoria, Kazimierz will begin to decline; in rural areas, farmers who have switched to cash crops will also go bankrupt in small numbers."

"Servants?"

"Like rain."

Whether by mistake or by design, those urban men and women who blindfolded themselves and walked into the slaughterhouse... faced with a financial game that felt like jumping off a cliff, in the instant their heartstrings snapped, they resolved to become waterless divers, to become the dirty bloodstains on the ground.

Nearl took a deep breath and asked, "Who will take over my current job? We took a large quantity of fertilizer with us when we set sail, and Rhodes Island's greenhouses have an extremely high demand for fertilizer! If the fertilizer supply runs out, the fruit orders that have already been signed will also..."

Given the current transportation difficulties, each Rhodes Island office should ideally have a unique skill to support itself. In addition, the survival needs of refugees and the cash flow from the construction of the Malta also require the Chernobog and Lungmen offices to have significant profit margins.

Due to the current situation, the Chernobog office's profit structure is rather distorted: the largest profit margin comes from exporting tropical fruits and a small amount of staple food to Ursus. The industrial equipment, which is being rediscovered, repaired, and put back into operation, will likely be a money-devouring beast for several years.

The situation at the Lungmen office was much better; although it bore the brunt of the Malta's expenses, it had a smaller population to support.

Overseeing fertilizer production sounds like a great job, but with the main structure construction of the Malta already moved to Lungmen, this is the most important task for the "Rhodes Island supervisor in Chernobog".

For Chernobog, who is now the de facto leader of the entire community, this requires that the leader have sufficient authority to restrain the soldiers who were not elected and could not follow Oute; sufficient management ability to ensure the smooth operation of production; and considerable business acumen to maintain and expand the established trade network.

After Nearl leaves, who can shoulder this heavy burden?

"I."

The teddy bear in its uniform was backlit, making it difficult to see the person for a moment.

"Natalya?" Nearl frowned. "While you are very talented in combat training, even with the assistance of other operators, this kind of work is not something a minor can handle..."

The horse-woman was then surprised to realize how Natalya had managed to strike up a conversation.

Keep in mind, this is happening while Oute is possessed...

Wait, it's not telepathy, it's "talking to oneself"!?

I asked her to come.

Using Nearl as a relay, Oute's mental fluctuations accurately linked to everyone.

"Miss Nearl, I am Operator 'Rosa'," Rosa emphasized.

Just as she deliberately wore her uniform, it was to dedicate the entire "Chernobog," to better support the Pegasus "stepping on the shield," and to seize Rostov's share of the spoils in this magnificent era...

In the presence of Rhodes Island, Rosa should emphasize her "Rhodes Island" identity rather than her "Ursus" identity.

It can only be said that Oute has corrupted the pseudo-mature woman in the Bear Group.
