＜ Beijing Race. (4) >
rumble.
“Master, it is said that Beijing has been captured.”
When I got on the train after finishing the Tokyo Ordnance Bureau deal in Tianjin, James gave me a telegram.
“Fast.”
rumble.
The train was shaking and running towards Beijing. Fortunately, due to the rapid occupation, there was little damage to the railroad, and it is said that the engineers quickly restored it.
“Actually, it’s normal.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
James fluttered the report and went ahead with it.
“It is said that under the command of Marshal Alfred von Bildersee, the Three Kingdoms Army advanced to Beijing along with the Shandong Army in Yuansky.”
In the end, Yuan Sky, which is close to Beijing, and the Allied Forces of Deepthroat stopped the start.
“The British-French negotiating forces must have followed immediately. Race from Tianjin to Beijing with an overwhelming troop transport with 200,000 of the Governor-General of Namyang.
The Anglo-French Negotiation Army and the Army of the Governor-General of Namyang followed behind with overwhelming numbers.
“It is said that there were 300,000 troops in total.”
“Haha, I’ve met the Boxers bastards. I can’t win this one.”
No fighting in the first place.
There were 300,000 Boxers and the Qing Empire’s armed forces, but they were swept away like a wave in front of the 300,000 who were fully armed with the new weapons of the Tokyo Ordnance Bureau.
At first, the Boxers didn’t even care.
“The problem is the clash of the two armies. In fact, it has become a race between the Three Kingdoms alliance and the Anglo-French negotiating power, what do you think the situation is?”
“It is said that both sides turned their eyes to the silver ingots, and they ran like a mad dog to Beijing, desperate to get at least one more.”
Fortunately, there was a common purpose, and there were plenty of silver ingots to eat, so the fight didn’t seem to have spread like that.
After all, if there’s a conflict here, it’s World War II.
“That’s good.”
‘I’m sleepy.’
Tub.
After hearing the report, I closed the report and closed my eyes for a moment. I was a little overworked from working with the Tokyo Ordnance Bureau.
“I’ll let you know when I get to Beijing.”
“Thank you for creating a bridgehead for our Standard Oil to advance. I think Shanxi has such a large coal field. We sent some investigators for prospecting, but the results were crazy.”
If there is one peculiar thing about this expeditionary force.
3,000 people at the National Pinkerton Detective Agency.
7,000 people from the Tokyo Pinkerton Detective Agency.
It was the fact that a total of 10,000 troops participated as escorts by Standard Oil and foreign banks.
In fact, there were 3,000 in the US Army and 7,000 in the Japanese Army, but nobody pointed it out.
Gap of Gap. The China Settlement Bank was behind them.
Besides, the employer was ‘the’ Standard Oil.
“Vice President Archibald. You look good.”
“Detroit, thanks to you, it’s the best. It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Beijing, Forbidden City.
Foreign soldiers were standing in line inside the Forbidden City, which was forcibly opened in front of a total of 300,000 troops.
‘Something really feels like the beginning of the 20th century.’
The appearance of the Forbidden City after a long time was quite different from the past. The road to Beijing was a bit new to me.
Memories from China investment came to mind.
It wasn’t my fault.
Thanks to someone’s red mace, a normal Chinese company was devastated, and I was savagely killed along with my investment.
It was a good platform company, but the CEO made a speech mistake…
tt
It’s a bad memory.
Erase it from your mind
“It’s been a long time since Beijing.”
“Hey, have you been here before?”
This novel was posted at https://noblemtl.com
Oops.
I immediately realized the mistake and waved my hand.
“I’ve seen it in a book before. It’s a little different today.”
“Again, it’s a real statement that you were a high school student not long ago.”
“Now I am of age.”
“You’re the one who came of age, but I got the surprise. Thank you for calling me to a car that was interested in the Qing Empire. When I received the proposal from Shanxi Coal Corporation, it felt like I was opening my eyes.
I shrugged at the vice president’s words.
The annual event is back.
Every year in the United States, they criticize Standard Oil’s monopoly behavior, the Senate twists and turns, and shakes the mace of the anti-monopoly law in front of their eyes, but it was a show among people who knew everything.
I didn’t do well with Standard Oil, so I’ll give it to you in moderation. It was a doggie.
“If we can expand the energy market in the Far East, Standard Oil’s portfolio will be a little more stable. Right now, we are 100% dependent on US oil fields.”
“Well, it’s not just that.”
The reason Standard Oil joined the Beijing expedition is not a big deal.
If Archibald was vice president, he could take as many currency swaps as he wanted. But Archibald saw the commanders of each country and the showbu.
“The condition for me to take over all the coal rights in Shanxi Province. The condition for a private police station to be stationed in the coal mine. The condition for me to preempt the newly discovered oil field.”
“The options are clear.”
“Instead, I gave up almost all rights to the silver bars. I gave up the currency swap acquisition on my side.”
Shanxi is wide.
As for how wide it was, it was a vast land that was 1.5 times the size of Korea. And the silver ingots must bring up silver ingots from this vast land.
Shanxi is not usually a provincial area.
It used to be the capital of China before moving to Beijing.
‘Chang’an’ was located in this province of Shanxi.
50 billion?
No, it costs 5 billion yuan to find this. If you can’t find it, it’s been a mess. No matter how many 300,000 people do, it is too short of a number to overturn the land that is 1.5 times the size of the Republic of Korea.
So it is standard oil.
“Silver ingots found in the process of mining coal mines are a condition of dedicating them to the Governor-General of Shanxi Province. We can only eat 10% of them.”
The force that sells the most land.
There was no power to outsource the collection of silver as much as Standard Oil, which was frantic with coal mines.
“There may be a stake in coal mining companies in Shanxi Province. It means that it is optimal for outsourcing.”
“I mean that.”
Shanxi Coal Corporation.
My 49.9% stake in Standard Oil is 50.1%. All voting rights have been handed over to Archibald, which is managed by Standard Oil.
“There has been one time when, officially, the wealth of the Shaanxi shamans were disclosed. It was a time when the Qing Imperial family asked the Shaanxi shamans to pass on the reparations for the Opium War.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Yeah, the officially revealed fortune alone is 200 million nyang.”
In a nutshell, it means that if you immediately attack the headquarters of the Shaanxi flags and dig up the ground, you will get 200 million pieces of silver ingots right away.
Perhaps this 200 million yuan can be easily collected. If you collect the major landmarks of Chang’an and Shanxi, they will come out soon.
The problem is the remaining 4.8 billion.
Shadow finance.
“Shadow finance is a generic term for unofficial lending business that is not controlled by the central government. There is almost no information about shadow finance in Shaanxi Province.”
200 million nyang is definitely the tip of the iceberg.
It is because the scale of the tigers in Shanxi was too large to say that the total fortune was 200 million yuan. However, the body of the iceberg submerged under it was still in the dark even in modern times.
While some people estimate that it is roughly 10 to 12 times, it varies greatly.
Archibald made a startled expression.
“I heard that the secret letter from the Bank of China Settlements says that there will be 5 billion yuan buried there, so is that a lie?”
bluffing.
But obviously, it’s not a lie.
“It’s not a lie. There is a possibility that there are actually 5 billion nyang buried there. You know it in the first place. Most investment reports on Wall Street or City of London are always written with hope for buying.”
“Ha, that’s right.”
“Yes, it’s kind of a business.”
A commission comes in when a client buys stock.
This is the reason why there are almost no short positions in the reports of analysts of large IBs (investment banks) on Hyundai Wall Street.
A short position is a report that recommends selling stocks.
tolerable. I don’t really write sell reports unless it’s a serious crisis.
Usually a long position or neutral gear.
Who would invest if they had a test every day saying they would fall?
Buy it! I see hope! Potential enough! must buy
‘MSG should always be added in abundance.’
– 200 million nyang are buried!
– There is a possibility that 5 billion nyang are buried!
“Which one is more exciting?”
“Never the latter. You have a knack for driving people crazy. You.”
“Haha, I’ll listen to it as a compliment.”
is the monthly average. this man
taktak.
Then an officer ran to us. He was an officer in the British Army.
“Are you the vice president of Standard Oil Archibald?”
“I am the Archibald of Standard Oil.”
“Brigade General Gazelli has found the Vice-President.”
“Ah, it looks like the traffic control is finally over.”
“Yes, I have been ordered to bring you. You can follow me.”
“Oh, wait.”
Archibald grabbed the officer’s shoulder. The captured officer turned around.
Then Archibald banged my back.
“Can I come with this friend too? He’s an important business partner.”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter. I have been ordered to make the most of the vice-president’s convenience.”
“That’s convenient.”
Archibald burst out laughing.
Then he put his arm around my shoulder. He tightened it tight with a pretty face.
It was a headlock position.
“Come on, let’s go. For our interests.”
“…for now, please let this go.”
“What did you just say?”
tuck tuck.
So we entered the negotiating room.
***
Negotiations were surprisingly swift.
Considering that it took a year to rip even one more copy of the original history, it was a great development…
To say that is too naive.
In fact, everyone had a plan.
“It’s going to be fun.”
Archibald sat in the corner with his arms crossed.
I thought it was going well, so I was stuck in the corner together.
‘I don’t want to be dragged into aggro.’
“Isn’t that right? The person who made this plate is actually drinking Coke here.”
“Hmm.”
He smirked and drank a bottle of Coke in the room.
profit-
By the way, this is what I brought.
Coca-Cola Chairman Arthur was pissed off that he thought he was an ATM, so he thought he would do some marketing.
If Coke comes out as big as a door in a newspaper article around the world, your face will be straightened like Botox along with sales.
“Actually, it is the negotiating ground of the Three Kingdoms of England.”
“Of the two, silver bars are the most urgent and powerful of the three countries.”
Britain was eager to raise funds for the immediate Boer War.
“The French will need money to invest in the colonial management of Indochina and North Africa.”
“Germany must have been the slander of Emperor Wilhelm.”
The emperor who turned his eyes to war.
No matter how much money was invested in the expansion policy called world policy, it was not enough. The Triple Alliance and the 3B Policy. The German government’s spending was already growing rapidly.
Even this time, the German ambassador was murdered by a Manchu officer, so it’s even more rampant.
Triple Alliance.
German Empire. Ohung Empire. Italy.
English negotiations.
Great Britain and the Third Republic of France.
uncomfortable cohabitation.
The two forces looked at each other for the sake of collecting silver and forcibly held hands.
The treaty was drawn up.
“I appoint Governor Yuan Sky as Minister of Beiyang. However, all rights in Shanxi Province are shared equally. We encourage the participation of private banks and enterprises as well.”
As the German army and Yuan Sky reached Beijing first, the position of Beiyang was taken away, but the number of Namyang army was much higher.
Because of that, Yuan Sky of Beiyang also nodded in agreement without saying a word.
First of all, Yuan Sky, which can legally deploy large-scale military and administrative forces right away, was a little more advantageous.
“The imperial family of the Qing Empire will pay a total of 982 million over 39 years from 1901 to 1940 at an annual interest rate of 4% with a principal of 450 million nyang.”
There was no negotiation on compensation.
Unlike the United States, war was all about reparations for the European powers, and the mercy given to Japan was not given to the Qing Empire.
Empress Dowager was not here.
As in the original history, she fled to Chang’an in Shanxi Province and sent Aisingior Yi Quang and Li Hongzhang.
I think you got the wrong way to escape.
Even as the negotiations were ongoing, the armies of each country were rapidly advancing to Shanxi at the same time as the fall of Beijing.
First, he was running like a dog to preempt the silver ingots.
“Punish the boxers instigators.”
“Allow the free stationing of foreign troops.”
“All coastal batteries must be removed.”
“The Qing Empire should abolish the Prime Minister’s Gate and create a new Ministry of Foreign Affairs and put it at the top of Division 6.”
“Free investment and business activities of foreign private capital are permitted.”
Negotiations were accepted one after another as the original contract of the new construction treaty was. Despite the huge compensation, Yuan Sky did not even blink.
The money the royal family has to pay anyway.
Even if they tried to pay their share, Empress Dowager Seo had no more power.
at this point.
The Qing Empire has already been declared dead.
“I’ll sign it.”
crunchy-
After the representatives of Shim Guk signed, the rest of the delegations also signed quickly. In fact, it was a negotiation between the three countries, but there were no complaints because the Congo water that fell on them was also not easy.
But.
No one could be the winner here.
“Indeed, the winner is America.”
I smiled quietly.

American telegraph companies, including AT&T and GE.
‘Now, who is the winner?’
– The free investment and business activities of foreign private capital are permitted.
The ‘state’ of the United States adheres to isolationism and does not participate.
But when it comes to private capital, the story is different.
With this one provision, the United States took the greatest advantage. But everyone agreed. Blinded for faster and more silver ingots, I ran like a dog, so I needed a lot of money and supplies in a short period of time.
“Of course, it is a condition of being ahead, but we have gained a much more advantageous position.”
Foreign companies?
can get in
But they never beat American companies.
American companies located in the Japanese archipelago will receive direct US government support.
Do the European powers on the other side of the globe have the ingenuity to endure?
From the price negotiation to the patonal girl.
The turn has come to suffocate the people in the US play of quantity.
‘Well, if you block it completely, the European powers will get your hair cut, so I’ll have to release it a little bit. If large European companies form a consortium and join the business association, the United States will end up with a spoon.’
Just looking at the food makes me salivate.
If the silver bullying was over, I would lift my head like a meerkat and look at me. After all, the continent is vast and monopoly is impossible.
But America only picks the sweetest fruit.
Hankou-Beijing Railway.
Guangzhou-Hankou Railway.
By constructing these two, the Trans-China Railway can be completed.
Hangzhou-Guangzhou Railway.
When this is completed, it will be connected to the Grand Canal and the Trans-China Railway connecting Shanghai will be completed.
I took over Daechung Bank’s bonds.
Seongseonhoe, the Minister of Railways, was in my grasp.
“But isn’t it a big risk?”
James asked me.
But I shook my head.
“The big risk is American companies. They say they plan to use 10,000 more troops called the private police.”
It was very deliberate.
“Besides, Vice President Archibald told me that Wall Street capitalists are forming a large-scale consortium.
“If Wall Street all rushed in, the risk would be lower.”
“Is it just Wall Street? City of London is hot too. Have you just seen the face of the Bank of England director? Your eyes are very tasty.”
I’m just burying myself in the great Wall Street and investing with a little spoon. Japan Settlement Bank is a small bank.
There is a risk, but it disappeared like dust when it took over a quarter of the Japanese economy.
“The mainland of China is divided into North and South. It is also divided into dozens of internal divisions. They will be divided and conflicted endlessly. But they will not dare to touch foreign capital.”
The war system of the Chinese warlords has just begun.
Instead of Beiyang, the Yuan Sky and Ban Yuan Sky Alliance were united, but they were divided into dozens of factions.
The warlords who got the silver ingots raised their heads.
“If we cut off military supplies, only those guys will lose.”
I also walked on a dog leash.
silver bullion?
That’s a big risk too.
If you work on this later, another collar will be filled.
“In the end, it will be a victory for American capital.”
They needed immediate silver ingots to finance their colonial operations, and the United States invested in the future.
The United States, which gave up the silver bars, eventually bought their future.
It was the master of imperialistic colonial management.
It was the master of Landless.
‘Should I put some saliva on Daqingyu?’
China’s largest oilfield.
I knew exactly where it was.
If there is a problem, it must be the fact that this is in Manchuria, which borders Russia. It is troublesome in many ways.
As I was immersed in thought for a while, I felt someone approaching me.
“Detroit Director, Bank of England Director has called.”
The light negotiations are over.
It was now time to negotiate with the capitalists hidden in the shadows.
