Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

a few days later.

Geddon, the capital of the Georgian Union.

After receiving a secret telegram from Dickens Cecil, president of the Georgian Union.

Dunley President Pete Andre and Lansey President Christy Brandon arrived in Geddon ahead of Plen President Violet Algernon, as scheduled.

That evening, Pete Andre and Christy Brandon, who arrived in Geddon half a day apart, were invited to Dickens Cecil’s residence.

The three met in Dickens Cecil's private study.

Upon meeting, they saw that Pete Andre and Christy Brandon were clearly preoccupied with something on their minds.

Dickens Cecil already had the answer in his mind.

"It seems you two have both encountered some rather troublesome matters recently, haven't you?"

"I think I have a rough idea of ​​what troubles the two presidents are going through."

With that, Dickens Cecil sighed and raised his right hand, making a finger-twisting gesture: "If I'm not mistaken, you two are quite troubled by 'money,' aren't you?"

Before Pete Andre and Christy Brandon could respond, Dickens Cecil asserted with certainty, "Counterfeit money!"

"And a very, very large amount of counterfeit money..."

Upon hearing this, and seeing the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of Pete Andre and Christy Brandon, Dickens Cecil was now completely certain of his answer!

This also shattered the last glimmer of hope in Dickens Cecil's heart.

If given a choice—Deakins Cecil would rather the intelligence reports from the Great Northern Alliance regarding Project Swinburne were wrong.................

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

"You two don't need to deny it, and there's no need to be so surprised."

Dickens Cecil shrugged helplessly: "In fact, right now Glenn, Dunley, and Lansey are all suffering from the same problem..."

"That's why I had the two presidents meet in Geddon ahead of time!"

"what?"

Pete Andrei and Christy Brandon exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Then, the two of them turned their gazes to Dickens Cecil.

"Could it be that there are now counterfeit 'Gelian Coins' on the market that are so realistic they're indistinguishable from the real thing?" Peter Andrei, president of Dunley, asked incredulously.

Clearly, Pete Andre and Christy Brandon were quite surprised by the appearance of counterfeit versions of the Union Coin on the market.

After all, prior to this, Glioncoin had always been recognized as the most difficult currency in the world to counterfeit.

The unique anti-counterfeiting and printing technologies of the Gelian currency have left counterfeiters worldwide utterly helpless—they simply cannot replicate it...it's impossible to counterfeit it...

So when Dickens Cecil himself admitted that Great Britain was also suffering from a counterfeit currency crisis, Pete Andre and Christy Brandon found it very unbelievable.

“It’s more than just a high-quality replica…” Dickens Cecil shook his head helplessly: “It’s practically identical!”

Dickens Cecil swore: "Mixing real money with counterfeit money."

"Even without professional authentication tools, the banknote authentication experts at Glenbank cannot distinguish which banknote is genuine and which is counterfeit!"

"So, all these counterfeit bills are being manufactured by the same counterfeit money criminal group?" Rancy President Christy Brandon said thoughtfully. "No wonder they can produce such convincing counterfeits of Rancy currency."

"So, they've even managed to copy the most difficult-to-counter coin, the Gelian coin!"

"Have you already obtained information about this counterfeit money ring? Where is their headquarters?" Dunley President Pete Andrei asked through gritted teeth.

"I think you've all misunderstood..."

Dickens Cecil shook his head: "These counterfeit bills weren't made by any counterfeit money criminal group at all!"

"Those counterfeit money criminal groups don't have that much capability! Actually, we should have realized this a long time ago..."

Mentioning this, Dickens Cecil's anger surged up immediately: "All of this was caused by that damn madman!"

“Damn madman?” Pete Andrei and Christy Brandon exchanged glances, neither of them understanding for a moment who this “madman” Dickens Cecil was talking about was.

“Vaolete Algernon!” Seeing the puzzled looks on Pete and Andrei’s faces, Dickens Cecil angrily waved his fist: “This is all the work of this madman!”

"What? The Pruners did this?" President Christy Brandon of Lanxi looked at the furious Dickens Cecil in disbelief.

"That's right! You heard me correctly."

"The series of troubles we are currently experiencing are the handiwork of our 'good ally,' the people of Pulun, whom we are wholeheartedly supporting and subsidizing every day!"

“You didn’t expect this, did you? This madman Algernon devised a plan called ‘Swinburne’ three years ago.”

"This is a sinister plan specifically designed to counterfeit Glenn, Dunley, and Lansey coins, with the aim of crippling their economies!"

"However, the Swinburne Project was later halted due to the formation of the Anti-Gan Alliance."

Dickens Cecil laid out the "truth" that the Georgian intelligence service had gathered: "But..."

“Even before the ‘Swinburne’ project was halted, the Prun people had already successfully counterfeited a large number of Grenfell, Dunley and Lansey coins.”

"And that's precisely where the problem lies!"

"Algernon issued the destruction order, but things went wrong during its execution."

"It's not surprising that some people would take risks and outwardly comply while inwardly resisting when faced with such tempting temptations!"

"Algernon should have noticed this problem by now."

"Therefore, Prun has secretly taken remedial measures."

"However, their so-called remedy is to completely distance themselves from counterfeit money!"

"All documents related to the Swinburne Project have been ordered destroyed by Algernon."

“The people of Prun will not acknowledge the existence of the Swinburne Project.”

"Prun's agents have already begun operations in the Great Union."

"If I'm not mistaken, Agent Prun is probably doing the same thing in Dunley and Lansey..."

"That madman! I told you long ago that Algernon is the most dangerous madman in the entire Western Continent!"

After learning the "truth" about this series of events from Dickens Cecil, Lancy President Christy Brandon was furious.

"Unless absolutely necessary, we in Lanxi would never agree to become allies with the Puren people!"

"Algernon's ambition and madness are no secret throughout the entire Siro!"

"Even though we are facing a huge threat from the Daqian Zhenguo Army, we must also be wary of the Pulun people."

Christy Brandon stated his opinion directly: "I propose that we must change our current aid policy for the Prun people."

"The Prun people under Algernon's leadership are definitely not a good ally!"

Christy Brandon declared emphatically, "We must guard against the risk of being betrayed by the Prunes!"
