＜ German Conciliation. (1) >
“Yes?”
Killian expressed his intention to merge within five minutes of the start of negotiations. Even if I ask, there is no big agitation. He sincerely wanted to pursue the merger.
I was stunned.
“Wait.”
I stretched out my hand.
And I thought.
What will Kylian benefit from this? I was concerned about it right away. Of course, it’s hard to see that Kylian came to a conclusion in five minutes. It must be said that the decision to merge with BASF was already decided before the negotiations.
“What’s so suspicious?”
As my mind wandered, Kylian held up a cup of coffee with a carefree face.
Horok.
“……”
I glared at him with gloomy eyes.
“It is doubtful that you are pursuing the merger process with BASF in less than five minutes.”
“is it?”
Killian shrugged, as if something was wrong with that.
“Bayer Chemical’s financial structure has been cleared by reorganizing its pharmaceuticals. It is no longer necessary to pay for pharmaceutical research expenses. Bayer’s corporate value has increased by removing the restrictions.”
Killian slowly. spoke out
“… enterprise value.”
I murmured.

One assumption came to mind like a thunderbolt in Kylian’s mention of corporate value.
‘Are you going to merge Bayer quickly before I expand Bayer and take a larger stake in the merger?’
There was a point.
The dye industry was already aware of the news that Bayer Chemical was pushing for an expansion, and it was a trend that was even spreading through newspapers.
‘Rather, Kylian is putting the brakes on my expansion by quickly expressing his intention to merge.’
Express your intention to merge quickly.
Conversely, if he does not merge now, he will not know when he will withdraw from the merger.
In other words, Bayer Chemical’s expansion takes a hit.
‘At the beginning, I was expecting to wrestle with the merger negotiations for about a few months.’
My rough idea was this.
I think of Killian. If not, meet other major shareholders. Or negotiate directly with BASF headquarters.
If you go through this process, it will take several months.
Thinking about it, it was like this.
‘Is it a ploy to dilute the stake?’
Bayer’s enterprise value is at its lowest right now. proceed with the merger. If that is the case, the merged entity will have a higher stake in BASF.
the most likely reason.
‘This is painful. He’s more likely to be aiming for this.’
But it wasn’t confirmed.
Because I couldn’t trust 100% of untested hypotheses.
“Well, there are no conditions at all.’
Killian meekly admitted. that you have what you want This grandpa is really good at picking up and dropping me off.
Killian raised his index finger.
“Chairman of Detroit, are you aware that the Rothschilds in Germany went into liquidation a few days ago?”
“Is it liquidation?”
liquidation procedure.
In fact, it was said that the German Rothschilds were in the process of going out of business. Come to think of it, something happened around this time in Rothschild, Germany.
I remember where I read that the Frankfurt branch had disappeared.
‘In the first place, there is only one reason for the Rothschilds to go out of business.’
The Rothschilds were a strict family society in which family traditions worked very strongly.
“The price is cut off.”
“Oh, did you know. As you said, the last head of the Rothschilds in Germany did not see his son. But he passed away in January earlier this year. In fact, the payment was cut off.”
Rothschild’s family rule.
If there is no male heir to the Rothschild bank, the bank will not be passed on.
‘The absence of a male heir means two things.’
This novel was posted at https://noblemtl.com
One is that there is literally no male heir.
The last head of Rothschild, Germany, gave birth to three daughters.
The other is a case where there is no ‘not one’ male member of the other Rothschilds who will take over the German Rothschilds.
“Did the Rothschilds of England and France give up?”
“You, the Rothschild family rules. As you said, another Rothschild family refused to take over the German Rothschilds.”
How did the German Rothschilds disappear?
In this way, did it disappear into the background of history?
Germany is the starting point of the Rothschild family and the heart of the Rothschilds.
Such a place is going through the process of shutting down.
‘It could be said that the Rothschilds were maintained until now because they were thorough in the rules.’
It was great again.
But now the Rothschilds didn’t matter. It was important to note that the status quo that Rothschild appeared as a condition of BASF’s merger was important.
‘What the hell are you doing?’
Kylian looked down at the coffee cup for a moment. As if he had made up his mind, he looked up again and looked at me.
“So… you, do you have any plans to acquire the Rothschild Bank of Germany?”
Killian was expressionless.
His brazen face as if nothing had happened, I thought for a moment that I had misunderstood.
Yalmach Shacht was also making an expression like this crazy bastard talking nonsense….
“I think it would be best for you to take over the German Rothschilds.”
But it wasn’t.
This is not a dream.
it was live
So another bomb fell on me.
“Yes?”
My mind was confused.
***
“He was a fun young man.”
Negotiations were completed quickly. In effect, Killian fired two cannons at Detroit Morgan with a bang.
Detroit Morgan broke the deal, saying he would go back and think about it. Killian accepted it as if he knew it would.
“Haha. Did you see Detroit’s bewildered expression earlier? It was interesting.”
“…Yeah, I’m embarrassed to hear that.”
Yalmach looked at Kylian with a puzzled expression.
Yalmach thought.
In fact, if you look at it, his face might have been more spectacular than Detroit’s. Saying that.
bad-tempered old man.
“Actually, I must have panicked. It was over there that suggested the merger, but I was the one who spread the terms.
“Is it a target number?”
“okay.”
Killian remembered.
I met DWM’s Loewe director during Krupp’s nationalization. The truth about Detroit Morgan from him.
The truth about Detroit from the British Rothschilds, who are deeply entangled with the Royal Navy.
And the truth about Detroit, which I heard from the directors of Deokhwa Railway Corporation of the Qing Empire.
Killian calmly closed his eyes.
‘If all of that is true, then Detroit Morgan is the most dangerous person in the world.’
At first I was thinking of removing it.
Wouldn’t it be a way to eliminate one risk by completely erasing Detroit Morgan? I seriously thought about it and even came up with a plan.
But a little re-thinking showed how absurd it was.
‘If you make a mistake, the German Empire will disappear.’
Imagine receiving 100% of America’s anger with your body. I can’t seem to find a hole to survive.
What’s more, the current German financial community continues to work behind the scenes to form a partnership with Wall Street, New York, or more precisely, JPMorgan Bank.
‘I’m different from other people who treat Americans as peasants.’
enough to destroy this.
Killian wasn’t stupid.
‘If that’s the case, you should convince Germany.’
change the point of view
If you can’t get rid of Detroit Morgan, you’ll have to bring it to the side of the German Empire.
“Yalmach. You were also sent to England at the request of the German imperial family, so you must be well aware of how entangled Detroit Morgan is with Britain.”
“Yeah, I know that Britain was almost as deeply entwined with the US after the US.”
“I don’t like that game.”
Detroit Morgan is the Joker on cards.
The ultimate joker that can turn the game upside down with just one card. Detroit Morgan is the joker that even the United States cannot treat lightly.
If such a joker was given to Britain, the German Empire would have no choice but to be very anxious and unpleasant.
“Junker, those pigs are full of thoughts of devouring Krupp. They don’t want to see the status quo. Even when the German hegemony is passing over to Britain in real time.”
“Killian, how about Detroit Morgan?”
Yalmach’s question.
Killian’s expression calmed down in fear.
“When Detroit Morgan shut off all the valves.”
he stopped walking.
“Can Germany really survive?”
New York Wall Street is locked.
The German Empire would not be able to expect the same amount of private capital from the United States as Britain.
The Pacific is submerged.
The German Empire would not be able to protect the hegemony of the Northern Qing Empire. Japan Settlement Bank, China Settlement Bank, and Philippine companies all turn to the enemy.
‘no.’
All oceans are submerged.
The German Empire does not yet have a single dreadnought. Detroit Morgan had a dreadnought monopoly called Portsmouth Hwasa.
expelled from BOSS.
In effect, the German Empire is expelled from the international economic network.
How to pierce it.
It does not exist in the German Empire.
“……”
Yalmach Shacht was shocked and terrified.
Was Detroit Morgan’s influence strong enough to destroy the German Empire?
“Yalmach, when you get older like this. You become less sensitive to the private interest and more sensitive to the public interest. Will my personal wealth be important to today’s and tomorrow’s board?”
“…don’t say things like that. You haven’t corrected it yet.”
“Diabetes.”
Kylian’s declaration cracked Yalmach’s face. Killian calmly touched the ground with his staff and rolled up his left foot to the hem of his trousers.
“They said you might rot your left foot if you do it wrong. The doctor said you might have to have it amputated in a year and a half.”
“……”
“Usually, it is said that if you cut off your foot in old age, you will die of shock. But if you leave it alone, your body will slowly rot.”
“……Oh My God.”
Yalmach looked at Kylian with a complicated expression. Killian’s face became more peaceful.
“Before I die, I want to do patriotism and die.”
“Patriot…”
“The goal of the rest of my life was to bring the weight of Detroit Morgan to Germany as much as possible.”
At this rate, the German Empire was at an overwhelming disadvantage when a war broke out between Britain and Germany.
It’s a war in which defeat is certain. What is this wretched word?
I didn’t like the dream of Bismarck’s unified German Empire being dismantled again.
“It looks like Britain’s next Prime Minister, Belfour, is trying to distance himself from Detroit Morgan.”
“…are you crazy?”
“No, it makes sense. To say that Britain is deeply entangled with Detroit Morgan means, on the other hand, that the British economy is increasingly subordinated to Detroit Morgan.”
From the perspective of Belfour, it would be like being eaten alive.
How terrifying it is to see a wild beast slowly devouring its own body in real time.
However, the reality of the German Empire that only he realized was darker than this.
“Do you know where the German Investment Corporation is based?”
“I know it’s Switzerland.”
“I plan to take over the German Rothschild base in Frankfurt by taking over the German Investment Corporation.”
Now they have their headquarters in Switzerland.
The German Rothschild bait moves its headquarters to the German Empire. Detroit Morgan gives reasons not to abandon the German Empire.
It is to make Switzerland ‘through’.
‘With this, the German Investment Corporation takes root in the German Empire.’
“But would you mind? Handing over the German Rothschilds to a stranger anyway.”
“The Prussians will eat it anyway, but aren’t they foreigners?”
“ah….”
That’s right. foreigner.
“I heard that the Berlin-based Discomte Gesselschaft are preparing to jump in to take over the German Rothschilds. They thought they were going to make it a base in Frankfurt.”
“It is calculated that it is much more profitable for the German Empire to give it as a gift to Detroit Morgan rather than hand it over to Prussia.”
The merger with BASF is also on the same line.
“At first, Bayer’s chemical division is a B2B company, so public opinion is meaningless. Even if the German Investment Corporation does not make an image, Bayer Chemicals is doing well.”
“okay.”
“Besides, it’s a merger. It’s not that I’m passing BASF’s stake to Detroit, it’s that Bayer-BASF is a merger, so there’s no reason to deny it frankly. It would be good for me as a banker if the merger monopolized 60% of the global dye market. “
monopoly?
Corporate value explodes exponentially.
Even if you hand over BASF, it’s an advantage if it’s an advantage.
There was no damage to Killian.
So, you should use this as an excuse to get entangled with Detroit Morgan as much as possible. Now that Britain is fooling around, this is a golden opportunity to gradually bring weight to the German Empire.
“BASF is headquartered in Ludwigshafen, near Mannheim.”
“If it’s Mannheim…”
“okay.”
Killian nodded.
“It’s Baden-Württemberg.”
Hesse in Frankfurt.
Mannheim and Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart.
Ludwigshafen, Rhineland.
All are West German.
geographically close to each other.
It meant that it was a perfect location to make it into the sphere of influence of the German Investment Corporation.
“It’s all West Germany. Most of the industrial zones are concentrated in the Ruhr Industrial Zone and El Sasrotringen. Leverkusen, where Bayer is located, also spans the Ruhr Industrial Zone.”
In fact, at the time the German Investment Corporation had already announced that it would merge with BASF.
Its influence was tied to West Germany.
“Besides, for the time being, it’s going to be very awkward with DISCONTE-Geselshaft’s Berlin.”
If the German Investment Corporation takes over the German Rothschilds, the Berlin-based DISCONT-Geselshaft Bank will be very fond of it.
The largest bank in Berlin today was Desconte-Geselshaft.
If they let go, even Detroit Morgan is not easily accessible.
But can Detroit give up the German Rothschild hand?
Well.
Kylian thinks differently.
“First of all, we need to make a base in West Germany by hunting like this.”
“…Isn’t it too full of local feelings?”
Isn’t it a little too much for West Germany?
Yalmach said a little absurdly.
But Killian shook his head.
“I can’t get the German Investment Corporation to be entangled with the Junkers yet. It could have the opposite effect if I messed up with the Prussian Junkers.”
The base of the Junkers is East Germany.
And how greedy, authoritarian, and selfish the Junkers are, Kylian knew well.
It was clear that if they rushed into that dirty political arena without a pointless base, they would only see each other’s blood and split.
“But it might work out, isn’t it?”
Yalmach makes a naive voice.
Killian kept his mouth shut.
‘……’
Kylian still hasn’t forgotten the rumors he heard from DWM Loewe.
‘He is a dangerous person who is ready for war.’
With that one word, it pierced everything.
The fact that virtually the entirety of the Spanish-American War was played in the hands of Detroit Morgan. DWM’s Loewe also said he was silenced. What I said to myself must have given me a lot of courage.
Thanks to that, I knew for sure.
It’s not ‘Detroit Morgan’ to see blood after messing around with Junkers.
‘After all, seeing blood at the end.’
…is Germany.
“It’s better to take the risk and make it comfortable on my side.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Anyway, by all means.”
Killian’s eyes filled with tension.
“We have to do everything we can to get Detroit to come.”
***
“Oh, is that so?”
When I returned to the hotel and looked at the map of Germany by myself, I realized it.
I realized
what they want
I touched my forehead.
“What’s wrong, James. I figured it out.”
The German Investment Corporation’s sphere of influence concentrated in West Germany.
The German government wants to put pressure on Britain.
From the base in the Rhineland, Alsace-Lorraine and the Ruhr industrial zone to Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
It’s too obvious.
I twisted my lips full of laughter.
“Germans, you intend to press France with me.”
I smiled and walked around the hotel room.
“haha. It was, it was. Why would you suddenly be so nice to me?”
“However, the fact that he gave you Rothschild, the leader of the German financial industry, seems to be a favorable signal for the master.”
“James. The opponent is Germany. I’ve never had anything like this before.”
It felt like the awkward feeling was clearly resolved.
Without knowing that it was a complete bullshit.
