＜ The Devil’s Circuit. (2) >
“We are the only ones in the United States who can help you.”
Carcass, the capital of Venezuela.
central government negotiating table.
The Americans stood up with their backs straight and pressed the other side. U.S. Department of Agriculture employees and executives of plantation conglomerates took most U.S. positions, putting pressure on Venezuela.
The majesty of the US Navy’s war hero, Marshal Dewey, broke the Venezuelan flag like a reed.
“We hope to have a smooth cooperative relationship with each other, and let’s start negotiations.”
Negotiations began.
“The first item is the moratorium on bonds. We, the United States, claim rights on the bonds that Venezuela defaults on.”
bang!
He hit the desk like a whip with his hand.
“We America! When the Venezuelan government was persecuted by European imperialists, it sent the Great White Fleet and the North Atlantic Fleet as the defenders of the New World to lift the naval blockade and freed it from the ‘irrational’ threats of the imperialists. .”
The U.S. speaker began to recite all kinds of rhetoric, and one after another, the evidence for the American performance and the compensation it should receive.
“We don’t expect much from the moratorium on bonds, but we just want to partner with the Venezuelan government to ensure a stable supply of our agricultural products.”
The Venezuelan side was quietly listening.
They were attended by both the president and the vice president, and the United States thoroughly prepared for a coup d’etat.
Venezuela is no fool.
They knew the fate of the countries of Latin America.
– It must be a plantation.
They trembled under the pressure and fell asleep.
“Cocoa and coffee are representative crops of Venezuela. Fruit cultivation is also possible. To secure a stable agricultural supply chain to the United States, I would like you to sell some of Venezuela’s land.”
“If it’s land…?”
“This is Maracaibo.”
“Mara….!”
Maracaibo.
It’s not like Carcas, but it’s a port city that’s developed enough to count on your fingers in Venezuela.
But as if not there, the US side shook its head.
“I want the land northeast of Lake Maracaibo, not the city of Maracaibo.”
“Northeast?”
“Yeah, isn’t it close to the agriculturally developed Valencia? Besides, Maracaibo is close to the US Navy’s garrison. It’s a perfect area for us.”
US Naval Garrison in Maracaibo.
The security issue of the plantation to be operated in Venezuela can be solved by the US Navy.
It is close to the agricultural province of Valencia, and Lake Maracaibo has abundant water, so it is good for farming.
“It makes sense.”
Truly the best land for American planters. The Venezuelan personnel also acknowledged it.
“But how much land do you want…”
“It’s not a big deal. We’re trying to get land at an appropriate level by collecting other cases of subrogation.”
“appropriate….?”

Other baptisms.
The Venezuelan side remembered. Thinking about the precedents of other countries selling land in default, the first countries that come to mind are the Banana Republics in Latin America.
‘……for a moment.’
Venezuelan’s pupils tremble violently.
The example they came up with was a moratorium in Costa Rica. At that time, the plantation company UFC liquidated rail bonds and ripped off 7% of Costa Rica’s land.
‘The bonds we paid a moratorium on are larger.’
At least 800,000 acres for the US side?
They talked about partnerships, but these aren’t pure thugs. These guys were going around collecting dreadnoughts.
I felt dizzy.
‘Still, it is more reasonable than the German Empire or the British Empire. I want to think like that.’
President Castro swallowed his saliva.
As long as the British and Germans were expelled by asking the US for protection, they are left with nothing but the US.
Now, if you put a steel plate on your face and turn to English Germany, they will shred Venezuela to the bone by supporting evil.
“It will be at least 1.5 million acres.”
“…I will accept it.”
More than anything.
The US Navy’s dreadnought was fear itself.
When the dreadnoughts were on the same side, they were very reassuring, but when they entered the negotiating room, there were no other demons.
The Americans smiled favorably.
“Haha, don’t worry. If we establish a cooperative relationship with the United States, tariff walls on cacao and coffee in Venezuela, an agricultural country, will be lowered. It will become more competitive in price compared to other countries.”
“…..”
The Venezuelan side had nothing to say.
In fact, that tariff benefit was a condition of being lowered because the US Plantation landed in Venezuela.
But if you ask if there is no benefit to Venezuela, there is a lot of benefit.
Few people would hate to see tariffs being lowered.
‘…Capitalism is so scary.’
The Venezuelan side felt its power waning.
It was only natural that the rights they should enjoy turned into benefits.
It was a complete line that even threatened to pressure you with tariffs.
“The second project is a US Naval Garrison. Like the first, we want to set up a garrison in Maracaibo.”
For a moment, when Marshal Dewey opened his eyes and stared at him, the naval officers clashed and lined up, and their guns rattled.
The Venezuelan side was tired of seeing it.
“Yes, yes. Of course it is possible. It is possible!”
“Haha, thank you.”
passed quickly.
Well, you don’t want to be ripped off by the dreadnought’s network.
crispy-
The treaty was signed quickly.
There was a bloody debate involving geologists over the land of Maracaibo, but it ended relatively quickly.
The UFC was happy to receive all of the land requested by Secretary Morgan.
By bluffing a large piece of land in advance and gradually narrowing it down, I was able to successfully complete the transaction.
As usual in small countries, when the contract was canceled, the penalty was staggeringly large.
As soon as the penalty kicks in, Venezuela is bankrupt.
“after…..”
The negotiators sighed in relief.
It was now the moment when the New World was unofficially declared as the territory of the United States under the Monroe Doctrine.
“Detroit Morgan…”
Admiral Dewey was astonished.
Despite the long years of being together, the boards he made were always wonderful, neat and speedy.
‘Is this the reason why Britain and Germany were expelled?’
The United States does not choose any means to monopolize it.
He was definitely the type that hottest President Roosevelt would like.
Customs. bond. army.
It was showing what economic sanctions and pressure to move opponents were.
“You crazy bastard.”
A deep smile appeared on the lips of Admiral Dewey.
thump thump.
The U.S. negotiator came out of the negotiations.
Employees dispatched from the US Department of Agriculture to negotiate a plantation leave the negotiating table. They exited the building and slowly made their way to the front of the waiting line of black wagons. naturally.
“You’ve worked hard.”
UFC Fruit Company executives smiled and asked for a handshake. U.S. Department of Agriculture employees stopped to take their hand.
“You’re welcome.”
“No. It really seemed like I got thousands and thousands of horses when I was with you guys.”
The executives happily shook hands and released their hands.
Until I came out to the negotiating table today, I was able to receive a lot of information through them, and through them, I was able to obtain information about the eavesdropped Venezuelan high-level officials.
The UFC executives, trained by their businesses in the Banana Republic, were politically savvy, and they ate only a piece of cake, such as cooking the ‘information’ they were provided with.
I will too.
Those of the ‘Ministry of Agriculture’ were ’employees’ of the ‘Company’ who were fluent in information, and excelled in information collection and analysis than anyone else.
There are a lot of people from Pinkerton, right?
UFC officials smirked.
“Is that … ‘company’ worth working for?”
“Yeah, what…”
US Department of Agriculture employees.
No, Treasury intelligence agents grinned while fiddling with USDA IDs at UFC officials’ comments.
“I have to do it.”
Northeast of Maracaibo.
The target oil site was successfully secured in advance.

Washington DC
The heart of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
“…..”
National Health Insurance.
It is a medical insurance system that is implemented by the central government as a medical insurance system for the entire nation. All citizens of the country receive medical expenses benefits when visiting hospitals on condition that they pay their own medical insurance costs.
“The United States is famous for murderous medical expenses. I went to the hospital, but I didn’t get proper treatment and came out with tens of dollars.”
But what scares me more is ‘proper treatment’.
If you get the right treatment, you’ll be even more terrified. I have to calculate in my head how much it will break.
“A critically ill family member comes out? The family will go bankrupt next month. Either live with them until they die, or have them euthanized.”
Will everyone be unhappy?
Are you going to send only one person? The whispers of the devil put a man’s conscience on weights and scales and put him to the test.
“But Secretary Morgan, the United States has private health insurance, doesn’t it?”
“Yes. Medical insurance that is so expensive that only the upper class can use it.”
“…..”
The same is true in modern America.
Thousands of thousands of dollars are lost when you go to the hospital.
“So this national medical insurance is a life saver. Once you taste the national medical insurance, you can’t get out of it. They tell people who used to go to the hospital to pay tens of dollars each month?
What if medical insurance disappears in Korea?
It’s terrible to even imagine.
“This is an opportunity for us. By tying national health insurance with the oil business, we can get overwhelming support from American citizens. They say they have a reason to put their son and husband into battle.”
The oil business is strong.
Even if war breaks out, it is an industry where there is no other hippo who sucks money beyond a powerful level.

Occasionally, if American refiners cause an oil shock with their overwhelming oil extraction volume, the refiners can sit back and eat up their money.
The National Tax Service, which receives taxes, is also happy.
Anyway.
“Even if major oil companies cause a high oil price shock, American citizens will be generous with it. At least the oil industry becomes a sanctuary for public opinion and politicians.”
The National Health Insurance will become a fence for oil refiners.
Rockefeller thought to himself, then hurriedly put the file folder on the desk.
“By the way, Secretary Morgan. Is this a good subject for politicians to turn into rednecks? Are you already listening to socialists?”
“Don’t worry about that. I have an idea. You’ll find out later.”
“Hmm?”
War.
In fact, if a war broke out after implementing the National Health Insurance, the National Health Insurance could go bankrupt with a huge deficit.
If only it were a normal country.
But we are America.
If war broke out, American sons would be brought in one after another, either evaporated or crippled.
Let’s say that Jack of our house is coming home after a bridge was blown up, and Johnson next door was brought in because he was blinded by poison gas.
Do you want me to live like this for the rest of my life? went bankrupt Housekeeping is twisted. I have to make a choice, but are there politicians who can block the National Health Insurance while yelling?
‘It’s good if you don’t get hit by a shotgun in the head.’
If there is a war, money matters.
By then, most of the military hospitals will receive all the initial treatment, and the National Health Insurance will cover the medical expenses required for follow-up treatment.
When that scale explodes, no one can say anything even if the US government’s revenues block the national health insurance deficit.
‘During the war, the Sovereign Wealth Fund made money from the high oil oil business, received medical insurance, blocked it with taxes, and collected the money lent to Europe during the World Wars to prolong the life of the national health insurance.’
Capital flows into the quadruple.
In the end, personal health insurance costs can be resolved with a war pension. So the money issue is not that serious.
‘National health insurance will be pegged to the American system by going through a war.’
In the end, the aftermath of the war will make the National Medical Insurance even more sanctuary.
In the case of a response, it is a no-brainer straight away.
‘Well, even if I say this now, I would be treated like a madman. Who would believe if a world war broke out?’
This is my secret for the time being.
But I’ll have to shave my mouth.
“Everyone, do you know what entrepreneurship is?”
“Entrepreneurship?”
“Yeah, it can be roughly summed up as the spirit that entrepreneurs should have. It’s something I’ve picked up here and there, but it turned out better than I thought.”
“Tell me.”
The eyes of the conference room gathered.
I wiped my chin and nodded.
“You have to think about the reasons why you should. You shouldn’t think about the reasons why you shouldn’t. But ordinary people look for the reasons why you shouldn’t. They nail it as impossible.
Rockefeller nodded.
“I don’t know who you are, but that’s true. There were a lot of obstacles when growing Standard Oil, and I wouldn’t have been able to do anything if I had said it was impossible each time. Melon, how about you?”
“It’s the same with me. Because I’m a semi-self-made man. I’ve passed the point of death several times.”
“What is the risk of dying. In the oil business, the subject of almost no experience of being shot.”
“It’s because I don’t get grudges by replacing people like anyone else.”
“Instead, I would have been chasing people through finance.”
“Ttt. Nonchin really.”
Rockefeller and Melon opened their eyes and fought each other.
I put my forehead on my forehead and shook my head.
“Anyway, that’s the bottom line. The reason for failure is not that it failed, but that it was nailed as impossible. If you search for the reason why it shouldn’t work, you end up not achieving anything.”
I spread my arms wide.
“In order to implement the National Health Insurance, you have to roast and boil the politicians? Then, you can transfer lobby funds like Super Pack to lawmakers in large numbers. Lobbyists are released in large numbers. Do you have that much money?”
“Yes.”
Everyone nodded.
“National health insurance can be realized at any time if we put our minds to it. In addition, Pfizer, a pharmaceutical giant, recently acquired Bayer and purchased a large number of licenses for new German drugs.”
National Health Insurance.
The medical and pharmaceutical industries may protest. When the price fixing system is implemented or the price cap system is implemented, sales are closed to the same extent.
In addition, the newly established Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be held on a tight leash and will run rampant.
Roosevelt is holding the leash on this side.
“Pfizer is a global pharmaceutical company that I invested in. And the licenses for powerful German drugs are distributed through Pfizer. In addition, there are many pharmaceutical companies that are under the influence of the German Settlement Bank.”
I licked my lips and rubbed my hands.
“Let’s run rampant. I’ll bankrupt you right now.”
The members of the conference room, who felt the eerie energy from me, shut their mouths.
“…worrying about it makes me look like a fool.”
Melon bitterly organizes the files.
Sighing, Rockefeller only rubbed his forehead with a rotten smile.
“Then let’s proceed like this.”
The plan I proposed was eventually passed unanimously.
