＜ The obvious fate. (3) >
Hong Kong Government-General.
“It’s fun.”
Deputy Governor-General of Hong Kong, Wilson Black, was seated in a chair in the communications room. A number of officers stood around him.
“Sir Black, is there anything good for you?”
“In my later years, there was something interesting to see.”
Wilhelm II’s German Empire began to outstrip the industrial power of the British Empire, and its economic and naval power grew rapidly.
However, unlike Prime Minister Bismarck, the foreign policy chosen by Wilhelm II expanded.
His ambition made the British Empire uncomfortable, and the British Empire was waiting for a cause to take care of it sometime.
And Detroit Morgan found the most coveted cause and put it into the hands of the British Empire.
– Detroit Morgan.
“It’s a human being who has been cast as the main character in his home country. I’m only 16 years old. The large background of the Morgan family also helped out with one arm. However, there are not many cases where the background is large and the person himself is also large.”
“Among the nobles and gentries of the British Empire, there are many people who believe in their backbone and fall apart.”
Black raised an eyebrow.
When I saw Detroit Morgan, it was like watching a heroic epic that my country was proud of.
“It’s like reading the legend of King Arthur. He also picked Excalibur around the age of 16.”
“Yes? Isn’t that Caliburn?”
“Each lore is different, but that doesn’t matter.”
Detroit Morgan, who paid the price of Morocco and wielded Excalibur, the British Empire, was important.
‘Not to mention Detroit (strait).’
Considering the fact that it paid for the Strait of Gibraltar, it was a surprisingly fitting name.
Are you really saying that you are a God-given talent?
“It is a pity that such a talented person is an American citizen. I’m sorry.”
“Sir Black, what do you plan to do with the Kaiser Marine?”
“Oh, that?”
Druck-
Black pulled the chair back and stood up. he leaned back.
“Isn’t there only one place to feed the Germans right now?”
“If you say it’s there?”
To look away from the Strait of Gibraltar and to poke the ruins of the German Empire. For the sake of the American fleet, I will also tie up Kaiser Marine’s mobile fleet.
There was only one place to aim.
“Qingdao.”
To be exact, Kiauchou (Kyoju only).
The German Empire’s Far East Fleet left the port of Jiaoju Bay and fired warning shots at the US Asian fleet.
Four cruisers were dispatched to the Far East Fleet by the Naval Administration of the German Empire. If so, isn’t it saying that Gyoju Bay is almost empty now?

One or two cruisers, etc., are enough for the fleet stationed in Hong Kong.
It was the perfect prey to target.
“Let’s pull out Kaiser’s mustache.”
***
Qingdao.
The German Empire, which is taking an expansionist walk while calling for a global policy, paid attention to Qingdao in the Qing Dynasty, which no one paid any attention to.
The operation method of Kaiser Marine is to intercept the enemy through the cruiser fleet. To this end, a naval base for supplies was essential, and the German Empire salivated and rushed to eat Qingdao.
November 14, 1897.
The German Mobilization Fleet received an order to occupy Kyoju Bay. They landed 600 naval forces on the pretext of military training in Gyoju Bay, effectively occupying them by force.
During the Kaiser Marine’s armed protests, the Qing dynasty was robbed of control of the Shandong Peninsula, leaving only the chaplain for 99 years.
April 28, 1898.
Wilhelm II designated Kyochuman as a protectorate of the German Empire through an edict, and the commander of the German Far East Fleet took over as governor, and the Naval Administration took direct control.
In short, it was less than a week since the German Empire ate Shandong Peninsula.
boo woo-
And the Hong Kong Fleet of the Royal Navy pushed into the waters off Jiaoju Bay.
The Hong Kong Fleet approached the close range of the German port and lined up at the narrow border of the coastal artillery range.
German naval forces at the German naval port poured into the naval port at the sudden appearance of the Union Jack.
bang-! bang-! bang-!
three rounds of salute.
Dozens of blank shells were fired from the former guns of the British warship towards Gyoju Bay.
“The Raimi guys are crazy!!!”
“This is a German military port, not a port of Qing!!!”
“Call the Governor-General right now!!! The Raimis attacked me!!!”
A warning was issued at the German port.
As the Hong Kong Fleet pushed into close range, the naval forces at the German port were terribly surprised to know that they were live ammunition, and the Governor-General under the direct control of the Naval Office was turned over once.
This novel was posted at https://noblemtl.com
One cruiser moored at the naval port was hurriedly maneuvered, but the fleet stationed in Hong Kong had already disappeared.
They later realized that the gun fired by the Hong Kong Fleet was a salute.
The German navy, who was slapped by the Royal Navy without even knowing the English language, was outraged.
“This is a surprise attack on the German Empire!!! They even come close to the military port and fire salutes!!! Even the Hong Kong Fleet did not have any signals on it!!!”
“Then you’re saying you’re going to fight the Royal Navy?! Kaiser Marines are still in a position to be taken over by the Royal Fleet’s large fleet, but is that a realistic sound!!!”
“This is a joke!!! A joke!!! You’re playing with the German navy!!! It’s a warning from the Raimi that they can occupy your port at any time!!!”
The fact that they approached the naval base and fired a salute was a clear and unequivocal act of provocation.
But unlike the angry naval officers, the governor-general of Kyo Joo-man had to face an absurd reply.
It was revealed that this salute was fired as a celebration of securing only the headmaster in accordance with the decree of the German imperial family.
– British Government-General of Hong Kong
Rumors came from the Hong Kong Governor-General.
The Admiralty expressed regret for the German Navy’s overreaction to the salute. The German Navy wants you to consider the fact that the Far East Fleet graciously passed over even though it fired a warning fire at the merchant ships belonging to the British Empire.
– British Navy.
An unknown message came from the British Navy.
British ship?
Realizing that this was not a problem that could be resolved on their own lines, the Governor-General forwarded the case to the German Naval Office in their home country, and the German Naval Office quickly checked the facts.
As a result, it was discovered that some of the armed merchant ships of the Asian Fleet were owned by the British corporation.
At the time when it was identified as a diplomatic problem, the issue also ignited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“They say that merchant ships in the US fleet are British citizens. This is tyranny!!! The salute fired from close range is not a warning fire, but a threat fire!!!”
“Who doesn’t know now that this is a warning from the British Empire!!! Now is not the time to be angry. We need to find out why they gave these warnings!!!”
But the German Foreign Ministry could immediately recall why they had issued such a warning.
In fact, there weren’t many things that the British Empire would have a seizure against the German Empire.
3B Policy.
A huge colonial policy linking Berlin, Byzantine, and Baghdad. However, this was a policy that was in direct confrontation with the British Empire’s 3C colonial policy, and I recalled that Deutsche Bank recently obtained the railroad right to build a railroad.
The German Foreign Ministry, which was unaware of the Moroccan transaction between the hedge fund and the British Empire, confirmed the cause and took action.
[German Naval Administration, Gyojuman’s salute is an obvious threat. Criticism with high-level remarks.]
[ German Foreign Ministry official said, ‘It is considered a protest due to a conflict of colonial policies.’ ]
[The British Foreign Ministry, ‘The salute of the headmaster is nothing more or less than a simple celebration.’ ]
[British Naval Ministry, ‘Germany should explain the warning fire at the British merchant ships in the Pacific, not the salute.’ warning. ]
The German Empire poured out diplomatic accusations, thinking it was the British Empire’s protest against the 3B policy.
The British Empire took it as a mere salute, and reversely bit the British merchant ships to explain why they fired a warning shot as a shield.
However, as in a rite, they bark outwardly, biting and barking with diplomatic rhetoric, but the two foreign ministries slowly reached an agreement.
The German imperial family wanted to quickly seal the seams of Kiauchou, which had just been acquired, so that the naval power of the British Empire had already given the German Empire a shot.
The agreement was quick.
So Berlin Castle and Buckingham came to an end to the controversy.
[Wilhelm II. ‘We express our deepest regrets about the incident of the Kiauchou salute of the garrison fleet in Hong Kong.’ ]
[Queen Victoria, ‘Sorry for the minor misunderstanding and warning fire on British merchant ships. We will cooperate with the German Empire for a smooth solution in the future.’ ]
After the two heads of state expressed their regret, the confrontation between the Kaiser Marine and the Royal Navy ended.
…whether or not the end has really come to an end is a secret between the two foreign ministries, though.
boo woo-
in between.
While the British Royal Navy pulled aggro against the Kaiser Marines, the US Navy’s Asian Fleet swallowed the Pacific Ocean and Manila Bay in the Philippines to complete the establishment of a complete naval blockade.
Through such a solid naval blockade, an army transport ship arrived one after another along with the USS Charleston from the mainland of the United States, and began to land on the coast of the Philippines.
[Great victory across the Pacific. The Filipino Sea Blockade and the Liberation of Micronesia. ‘Clear Destiny’ smiled towards America. ]
[The Spanish fleet captured 11 ships. The navy of glory won the victory in the Battle of Manila by an overwhelming gap. ]
– The Wall Street Journal.
The triumph flew to the mainland.
It began to heat up the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street by exploding.
***
New York Stock Exchange.
“Outside! outside! The US Navy has won the Pacific!”
“Give me a copy!”
“Two cents!!!”
In front of the New York Stock Exchange.
Federal Hall was crowded with investors. They walked around with the Wall Street Journal side by side.
“U.S. Navy has achieved a naval blockade in the Philippines!!! If the USS Charleston had landed in the Philippines with an army transport there, it was almost over!!!”
“It is the Philippines that even the weak and weak Spaniards ruled. Why is there no reason America can’t!!!”
🥳-
If you open the Wall Street Journal, you’ll see triumphs, triumphs, triumphs. The yellow press cried out for the splendid naval glory, and Wall Street investors roared with drunken booze from the United States.
Philippine.
In the 21st century, it may be recognized as a mere country in Southeast Asia, but the Philippines in the 19th century is the exact opposite. The Qing Dynasty had long overtaken it and was the second richest archipelago in Asia, closely following the per capita GDP of the Japanese Empire.
Due to the industrialization of Western powers, the raw material market of the Philippines grew enormously, and the Philippines was also the center of European and Asian trade hubs through the Strait of Malacca.
was a colony.
“How much is a dollar? If you can eat the Philippine market and trade hub, the US overseas market will definitely expand!”
“Free trade between the Qing dynasty market, the Indian market and the Japanese market is on the horizon!!!”
Trade hubs and commodity markets.
This was the reason why Spain and the US wanted to eat the Philippines with their flags, and the US victory on the Philippine front was just around the corner.
The Dow Jones Industrials Index and the Dow Jones Transportation Index have, of course, exploded.

New York going crazy.
So, from the beginning of May, the stock price of the New York Stock Exchange began to run high for a whole week without knowing it was sky high, and it had been a long time since I had put off the circuit breaker I suggested.
“Well, it’s not just that.”
🥳-
I sat on a bench inside the New York Stock Exchange in madness, reading the Wall Street Journal. Investors were eager to raise the dollar and somehow buy the stock.
Thanks to this, the newly launched railroad fund was also in charge of the boom, and the existing 0-class and S-class funds were also producing high returns.
It will soon reach $500 million in total.
“Isn’t that the only thing?”
“Look at the Wall Street Journal’s three-day rise in stock prices. The Dow Transportation Index is rising more rapidly than the Dow Industrial Index.”
“This is…ah.”
“That’s right. The Philippines is an important trade hub in Asia. These days, railroad companies are also reaching out to the shipping industry for the purpose of transportation trust. Like the Great Northern Railroad that joined hands with us.”
The Great Northern Railroad exports cotton from the southern United States to Japan by rail and shipping. After the panic of 1893, the railroad companies whose profit model had been broken were a solution they found after contemplating.
What if a trade route in the Philippines was opened to such railway companies?
The business model of general trading companies.
Railroad companies can achieve comprehensive logistics under the guise of railroads. This means that there will be a huge maritime trade route linking the US, Asia, and the Middle East.
Accumulated payment and customs benefits are a bonus.
Great Northern has long been working behind the scenes to organize a Philippine company now. I continued to link the railroad industry with the Navy.

Of course, my stake in the Philippine company was also significant.
“But, surprisingly, the dropout rate of short-selling funds is low. There are a lot of cash flows that reduce funds from short-selling funds and transfuse them with rail funds, but everyone has short-selling funds. Only 10% of the total fund capital has fallen.”
Pisik-
I burst into laughter at James’ report. The reason Wall Street investors don’t close short-selling funds is simple.
Less than three months had passed since Black Wednesday ended, and the fear remained.
It is an instinctive risk hedging.
“It’s a good flow. Thanks to this, the management of short selling funds has become easier.”
“It was a godsend to lift the stock restrictions on short selling funds. I have been looking for a share in the London and Frankfurt stock markets, which have fallen once due to the clash between the German Empire and the British Empire.”
“Customers who invested in short selling funds are happy, and I am also happy to collect commissions.”
For finance and stock markets, war risk is the worst risk compared to any other risk.
Investors crouch even more when it comes to external disputes between the German Empire and the British Empire, which have recently been fighting head-to-head.
London Stock Exchange.
Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
The two stock markets went downhill once due to the last Kiauchou dispute, and then slowly rose again.
In the meantime, the hedge fund pulled leverage from large banks as much as they had and pulled out a 30% return.
Short-selling funds hit the jackpot.
What happens if 10% of the capital is lost?
Even after making up for it with a 30% yield, maybe investors who left the short-selling fund are weeping?
“Then are you going to put your funds in the New York Stock Exchange? It doesn’t look like it’s going down anytime soon.”
“no. All funds will be withdrawn.”
“Yes?”
The winning method of stocks.
Buy when low, sell when high.
If anyone hears it, I’m going to make a fuss about it, but it’s an absolute principle in situations where it’s obvious that it’s going to fall or rise in the future.
“It’s in the Wall Street Journal, isn’t it? The ‘Army’ has landed in the Philippines.”
It’s not just the Philippines.
Soon after, around the end of May, a full-scale army landing in Cuba will begin.
They’re loaded with rotten beef and old-fashioned rifles. The Spanish army, armed with machine guns, will be heading to the battlefield of hell.
naval glory.
army shack.
If the army falls to hell.
If the navy was to paint over the victory won.
How will the New York Stock Exchange and American public opinion react, which has sounded a victorious announcement on a large scale?
“The abyss is coming soon.”
Now was the time to evacuate the New York Stock Exchange.
And then I decided to wait.
When the army, whose instep is on fire, comes to me please.
