＜ The imperial warship diplomacy. (2) >
“Secretary Max, you must not play with us when you return home. If you were the finance minister, you would know it well.”
“…..”
“Your assets are binding Venezuela. On the other hand, Venezuela’s assets are also binding your ankles.”
There are some common misconceptions that imperialists make.
No, rather than imperialists, I should say that they were entrepreneurs riding on imperialism.
In accordance with imperialism, empires establish colonies, protectorates, and weaker states that exploit them.
However, in other words, these companies are businesses that will disappear as soon as the colonial rule ends, and they are also assets that are tied to the colony.
“This is an assumption that is almost meaningless if one empire completely occupies a colony. But what if two or more empires are targeting?”
Treasury Secretary Max flinched.
“chamberlain….”
I smiled bitterly.
“What will happen to the businesses the German Empire has invested in when the US interferes with Venezuela and pulls out the pillars of the German business…?”
“……”
“Haha, just in case. You don’t have to take it too seriously.”
I waved my hands and poured the Coke.
It felt like a one-shot of the whole cider before I even drank the soda.
As Treasury Secretary Max’s expression dies, I get so excited.
lose more
You have to lose as much as you can when you can.
Just because I don’t like them now doesn’t mean they won’t fight for revenge and bruises later.
“The method of uprooting the pillars is simple. It’s no big deal. If you just confiscate the existing privileges and hand them over to the newly emerging empire, the business will naturally go bankrupt.”
In the Korean Empire, this was impossible.
I wonder if it is a situation where a single superpower called the United States is holding the spine of the new continent like the Latin American family.
The Korean Empire was surrounded by three dynasties, Japan, Russia, and Qing, and was beaten like a dog.
Treasury Secretary Max swallowed.
“Is the United States the emerging empire?”
“Haha, are you kidding me? The United States is a liberal camp that loves freedom. There is no way to follow the way of a coercive empire like a colony.”
“…!!!”
Treasury Secretary Max clasped his hands and trembled. There was a lot of blood on his neck, but there was no objection, he just stared at me.
Tell me.
I’ll make Kaisermarine superimposed.
‘I’m going to finish it soon.’
I pulled out the paperwork and shoved it in front of Treasury Secretary Marks.
“The gist is this.”
Treasury Secretary Max’s gaze dropped downwards.
“If you take over the debt of the German Empire to us, we will send it to the United States. If you do not want to ruin your business in Venezuela, I recommend you quietly sign it.”
“……”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you.”
I took out a nail clipper and trimmed my nails with a blunt tone. In the silence of the room, the sound of nail grinding was particularly loud.
Treasury Secretary Max lifted his head again with an ominous premonition.
“I forgot…?”
“I sent a letter of intent to the creditors of the German Empire in advance in time for the arrival of Finance Minister Max, detailing their current situation.”
“…!!!”
“Yeah, I knew it was going to go like this today. By the time the German Empire pushed into the port of Venezuela, I was already convinced of your defeat and our victory.”
A letter of intent to purchase bonds.
Businesses in the German Empire will soon forfeit all preferential treatment for Venezuela, and American businesses will lose their preferential status.
“If they don’t want to be uprooted and destroyed like a dog, they’ll have to sell their bonds.”
Carrots and whips.
If the bond is delivered to the US now, it will be a little less than the principal, but it is still a carrot that can pay the price.
In this state, they had only one option left.
smart.
Then someone knocked on the door of the conference room from outside.
“Minister, the new Director from Krupp has visited.”
“……What?”
Jump-!
At that moment, Treasury Secretary Max stood up.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, and his eyes fluttered violently. He was only an advisor, and the overall operation of Krupp was handled by professional managers and the board of directors.
When things got to this point, I couldn’t interfere any more.
‘Timing kills.’
The expression on the face of Secretary Max dying in real time was quite eye-catching.
Let’s see if this is causality
I smirked inside.
“Tell me to wait in the next room.”
Shh.
I pushed the documents, such as the creditor’s consent form, further in front of Treasury Secretary Max.
And smiled softly.
“I’m sorry. You started losing from the beginning.”
dump.
A new model of Secretary of the Treasury Max, who was charred, collapsed as it was.

“I’m giving up my bonds to Venezuela.”
Eventually, the German Empire surrendered.
With the rise of the United States as a superpower in the New World and the revision of the Monroe Doctrine by Roosevelt, there was no room for further penetration into the German Empire.
The privileges provided by Venezuela will be forfeited gradually, and the confiscated privileges will be inherited by American companies and banks.
[President Castro of Venezuela, thanking the Department of the Navy of the United States of America. Thanks to this, I was able to be saved from the invasion of the great powers.]
Venezuela was cunningly attached to the United States. The UFC completely boiled the Venezuelan leadership, and quickly engulfed and devoured the political world.
Someone who has used bribes knows better.
When the UFC and the State Department joined hands, corruption was instantaneous.
“It is said that German banks in Venezuela, feeling a sense of crisis, are offering SOS to large New York banks.”
Washington DC
US Treasury Building.
I got out of the office building and was walking around. After Knocking Down Germany’s Minister Max, the work began to flow rapidly.
widely.
He kicked the sidewalk with his shoe.
“German banks are making investment proposals to large New York banks, so it must have been quite urgent.”
“That way they can survive only when they are recognized as a part of the American power. If they are deprived of their existing privileges just because they are Germany, there are many children who will go bankrupt.”
“Well, because they were the ones who guided the taxes properly.”
It’s a luxury to expect the colony’s financial structure to be sound. If the business is not as promising as bananas in the first place, most of the preferential treatment will lead to loss, bankruptcy, or catastrophic destruction of the net profit margin.
Unless it is supported by the German government.
“Preferences include tax exemptions, monopoly, rebates, etc. If all of these are confiscated, the company simply dies.”
“Then how will you handle investment proposals from German companies?”
“Leave it. Because to meet the qualifications anyway, you’ll have to shred bones, torn flesh, and transform it into an American sphere. If you listen to our Treasury, you can eat whole German companies, which is good news for New York’s big banks.”
Indeed, New York’s largest banks were salivating with forks and knives.
New York’s large banks were well aware of the special status of the United States in Latin America, and they were very interested in business in Latin America.
Venezuela in particular was close, wide and corrupt. There is no better environment for doing business than this.
“The Venezuelan government has accepted the infrastructure project positively. Instead, it has requested personal protection through the US Navy.”
“Well, Venezuela is like a coup d’etat. It’s possible.”
“And a report came in through the Treasury’s security channel from the Smithsonian Geological Survey, which had been secretly intermingled with the North Atlantic Fleet.”
I stopped and stopped walking.
“It looks like there is oil.”
“okay?”
smiled
What if there is no Worry was in vain.
I rubbed my palms together.
“Okay, let’s get ready soon.”
Soon, Venezuela will accept our protection and open the market, and large American corporations are expected to pour in.
banana? good. plantation? good.
But the essence is oil.
The U.S. Treasury had some work to do with those companies.
“Make an appointment with Standard Oil’s Vice Chairman Archibald separately. Call Gulf Oil, a new Texas oil company. I’ll have to bring Chairman Melon as well.”

Oil business.
The essence of the Venezuelan project was oil.
“Call the White House and the Department of Agriculture. Ask us to cooperate. It’s a top-secret operation. Ask the State Department Intelligence Service. Make an appointment with GE’s Chairman Edison.”
if i do
He was the kind of person who started in earnest.
“Venezuela, if the United States is going to eat it, you should eat it properly.”

Once I catch a fish, I suck up every single drop of spinal fluid.
such a personality
“Oil business, telegraph business, railway business, plantation, etc. We have a lot to do.”
The treasury’s nightmare is not over yet.
“Secretary Max, are you going to go back like this?”
New York port.
The German Reich’s negotiating team strangely rebuked their representative, Finance Minister Max. The mood of the German negotiating party, which had been completely defeated, was heading for the worst.
The voice grew higher and higher.
“Are you really leaving like this?”
“Yeah, that bastard is a real bastard, so we’re backing off at this point. At least we’ll have some breadcrumbs left.”
“no….”
“no?”
Treasury Secretary Max contorted his expression like a scoundrel.
“You don’t even know Detroit about a madman named Morgan.”
Max remembered.
What happened at Deutsche Bank in Berlin, before and after.
This novel was posted at https://noblemtl.com
Overall, Detroit D. Morgan by normal standards was absolutely insane.
“The Prussian secret police are swarming with Berlin, and a madman who has almost broken into Deutsche Bank alone. A madman risking his life to negotiate with the guns coming and going. A truly madman who is willing to go to war with the German Empire!”
cuddle.
With a strong grip, the documents brought from the Ministry of Finance were crumpled in his hands.
“That madman…”
huh…
Treasury Secretary Max took a breath.
There was a vague fear in his mad eyes.
Secretary Morgan’s eyes that were willing to go to war could only be seen with sincerity, no matter where and how anyone looked.
“That’s really committing.”
Silence descended.
The negotiating team was overwhelmed by Treasury Secretary Max’s unknown impatience and momentum.
boo woo-
The horn of the returning passenger rang.
– Time to set sail soon! Get on board!
“….let’s go.”
Max took a heavy step.
The silence, once settled, continued until they returned to the German Empire.

New York.
Standard Oil Central Headquarters.
After a long absence from work, Rockefeller was escorted by executives and moved to the chat room.
At the front door, a large train of black wagons occupied the road, and the harsh noises of the horses handled by the coaches could be heard.
“Archibold, I got a call from the US Treasury.”
Standard Oil Board of Directors.
Refinery directors rushed to Rockefeller’s summons, and almost all of New York Standard Oil attended, except for those who were physically impossible.
Archibald, who was in charge of the agenda for this board, walked out to the speaker.
“It’s not just a contact. The proposal came with the grand title of a major national project requiring top-secret information.”
“Is the Treasury Detroit?”
“It is true that the president is the guardian. However, the issue is a little bit bigger, so Gulf Oil of Texas has also been contacted.”
“…..”
silence.
At Archibald’s words, the boardroom was as quiet as death. The news that the finance minister, who had Rockefeller as his guardian, pretended to be crazy and made an offer to the competitor, Gulf.
Executives in the boardroom felt like thorns sprouting from their chairs.
Frozen conference room.
Rockefeller opened his mouth.
“He’s not like that for no reason, so it’s not normal.”
Unexpectedly, Rockefeller’s trust was great.
“I can’t tell you the details. Probably, like the president said, this is not a common issue. The Treasury Department, the State Department, the Department of Agriculture, and the White House have also stepped forward behind the scenes.”
“…to the White House?”
“Not only that, there is a message that even the UK can intervene in an emergency.”
“A cake aimed at the White House and England. I can’t just skip this.”
Gulf Oil participation is no longer an important issue. At this scale, at least one country should be considered boiled.
‘It’s also not an average country.’
Maybe the country is small but the business is big.
Standard Oil and Gulf Oil. If the British Cell Oil Company and Bra Novel, which has Rothschild as major shareholders, participate in the war, it will expand to an international scale.
“Of course it would be the oil business.”
“Maybe it’s coal. Details will be briefed separately in the meeting room of the Ministry of Finance. Since it is a secret business, key information such as the location and size of the business is blinded.”
“You’re hiding that much? Detroit is serious.”
This is far beyond the level of stabbing.
With such a scale, the US Treasury Department cannot definitively discover oil deposits or large coal mines on a scale that is impossible.
The smell of money and oil began to permeate the sense of smell of Rockefeller, who had led Standard Oil.
this is money
I have a strong feeling like that.
“Archibold.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Rockefeller closed his eyes for a moment and picked out a word.
As soon as he made up his mind, Rockefeller opened his eyes and looked around the conference room.
Even Archibald, the executives of the conference room, swallowed his saliva involuntarily at Rockefeller’s sharp gaze.
Rockefeller’s mouth slowly opened.
“Please contact the Ministry of Finance. We, Standard Oil, will participate.”
standard oil.
Rockefeller trusted Detroit completely.
“Elect reliable ones from among the executives and send them to the Ministry of Finance.”
Rockefeller’s eyes lit up with determination.
“I’m going to jump in earnest.”
The oil giant has woken up and stretched.
