＜ Tokyo Bailout Committee. (2) >
Dutch royal family.
In the reception room of the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, Tobies Asher was facing Queen Wilhelmina.
Queen Wilhelmina listened to what he said, an authority in the Dutch legal circle and the International Court of Justice.
“Her Majesty. A complaint was filed with the International Court of Justice today, and I came to the court in person because I felt I had to report it to the royal family.”
Aser presented the document filed by U.S. Attorney General Griggs to the International Court of Justice to Queen Wilhelmina.
Queen Wilhelmina scanned the document.
Stop.
The queen rubbed her eyes.
“…Sir Asher. I don’t know if my eyes are wrong. It is written that one bank has tampered with the imperial family’s property.
Queen Wilhelmina.
At the age of 19, she is the youngest queen of the Dutch royal family. Now she was about to get out of her mother’s regent and stand up on her own.
wow.
She crumpled the paper.
Nearly neurotic about the royal authority, she was shedding a gentle anger at a Japanese bank that this one bank dared to tamper with.
“Sir Asher. You know that the International Court of Justice decides according to international law. Is that correct?”
“Yes, Queen. It was established for the purpose of adjudicating impartial international law, and this is the first case brought before the International Court of Justice was established.”
“Then I will ask. Can the attempts to seize the imperial property by these wrathful gangs be sternly governed by international law?”
Tobies Asher recalled the Universal Peace Conference.
International Banking Law, International Credit Law, International Transaction Law.
This agenda was in violation of all three of these.
“It is a felony. Your Majesty. It is a more serious violation of international relations than any other criminal act, and it is also a tyranny that a bank cannot do.”
“Sir Asher.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Queen Wilhelmina’s eyes lit up.
“Fairly. But sternly. Let the Japanese Empire properly show the status of international law and international order. The Dutch royal family will fully support the International Court of Justice’s decisions.”
“I’m sorry. Your Majesty.”
“I’m a little tired. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
bang.
As the door to the royal palace closed, a vein formed on Queen Wilhelmina’s forehead.
The Netherlands, the country of commerce.
Amsterdam, the international trading city.
Naturally, the banking industry was introducing a lot of the latest advanced technology, and Dutch commerce had a long history.
“It’s like such a ruthless bastard that a bank steals the property of an imperial family in a foreign country.”

On the one hand, there was fear.
late 19th century. Times were changing rapidly.
She was alarmed that such a ruthless thing could happen if the country fell into a weak country.
Queen Wilhelmina, a young 19-year-old, bit her lip.
“Absolutely not. If international law allows even the slightest lenient treatment of this ruthless banker, what will happen to the royal family of the Netherlands, and even the royal family’s wealth and authority in the future.”
How did the International Court of Justice work?
Judges from member countries of the international community are selected to form a courtroom, and decisions are made based on international law.
then……
It was necessary to gain the international community’s sympathy. There was only one way to spread it as far as possible to the royal family.
She told the royal servant.
“Call the foreign minister.”
British Empire.
A letter from the Queen of the Netherlands flew straight to Buckingham Palace.
Belle Epoque era.
symbol of imperialism.
The living British Empire.
The news of Queen Victoria reached her ears.
Chaenggrang-!
The crystal glass fell to the floor and shattered into fragments.
“Is what is written in this letter true?”
“Yes, Her Majesty. I have checked with the International Court of Justice and the US Government. The charges are almost certain.”
“…Call Sir Salisbury right now.”
Queen Victoria was furious.
She wrote and distributed letters to the emperors of the descendants of European powers.
Wilhelm Kaiser. It even reached the ears of Nikolai Tsar.
Barryn Palace.
Kremlin Palace.
The reaction was never going to be good.
The judges of the International Court of Justice began to feel an unimaginable pressure when the imperial family’s attention was drawn to the first case.
It is at a point where even the review of the proposed proposal has not been properly conducted.
The trial was far away.
But diplomacy was close.
bang.
The Japanese ambassador was summoned to Buckingham.
***
The Japanese minister was summoned to Buckingham Palace.
It also came under the eyes of the imperial family around the world under pressure from the criminal activities of its own banks.
living imperialism.
The Japanese Empire fell through the eyes of Queen Victoria.
“It’s like these rookies!!! If you’ve eaten up the country with currency swaps, you’ll have to work hard. Are you trying to pull out the pillars of the country!!!”
In the end, the roar of Emperor Meiji, who turned his eyes, shook the Imperial Household.
The Imperial Japanese Parliament was overturned.
bang-!
“The beginning of all of this is the wrathful atrocities of former Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi and First National Bank President Shibusawa.
Imperial Japanese Parliament.
The ministers who made up the Yamagata cabinet were summoned one after another and began to be questioned by the imperial councilors. The Joshu clan and the Satsuma clan began to bite each other tenaciously, and the council quickly became a mess.
Emperor Meiji was sitting at the top of the Imperial Diet, shivering with cold air.
A vein of blood appeared on the forehead of Captain Matsugata.
“Minister of the Katsura Army. How could this be your fault? I know you hate me because you’re from the Satsuma domain because you’re from the Joshu domain, but where is this kind of coercion?
“Shameless!!! At the point where you couldn’t stop the national banks from exchanging currency (currency swaps), you’re already over!!!”
bang-!
At the passionate performance of Army Minister Katsura, members of the Army Department generals nodded their heads. Not to mention Josh Burn’s greetings.
As serious as Ito’s sins were, they wanted to somehow share this burden with the Satsuma clan.
“Instead of Captain Matsugata. Is it common sense for a panic to burst within a month? The Japanese economy isn’t that weak! It’s impossible that the fortress built up by the Restoration Governors after the Meiji Restoration is broken so quickly! This is the incompetence of the General It’s like proving that!”
“under!”
Captain Matsugata sharpened his teeth.
I would die of injustice because I was criticized by the people for having already signed the Tokyo Treaty.
“Instead of the Katsura Army! If you don’t know the economy, get out of the way! In the first place, the national banks have the right to transact independently, and the central bank must not infringe on it! Obviously, the dignity and control of the central bank should be there, but that is by no means an idiotic bank. I mean!”
First of all, he has never made a currency swap through the central bank.
It was all the atrocities of Hirobumi Ito and Eiichi Shibusawa, who made the Emperor Meiji declare the guarantee of the Bank of Japan by edict.
But now you’re saying you’re putting yourself back on it?
I’m so mad I can’t even speak
But he didn’t put it in his mouth.
Because it was an edict from Emperor Meiji, I didn’t know that I would have to deal with his anger with his bare body.
“And it’s not too much to say that the economic crisis came after a month and my abilities were questioned! And what is a month? The period they prepared for was over a year!!!”
“What?”
“In the first place, our Japanese Admiral’s response couldn’t have been faster than this! Even when the bank closure was imposed, and when the Japan Settlement Bank had to sign the Tokyo Treaty in three days! It was my ability to make a quick decision! Without Rado, do you think the Japanese economy would have remained today?”
Captain Matsugata felt his head heat up.
“In the first place!!! The Western Empire shouted unconditional surrender in one day!!! The country was on the verge of being torn apart by civil war and the news that the royal family had collapsed!!! How could I have predicted!!!”
bang! bang! bang!
“Like a lie, the peso became a piece of paper in less than a week!!! The Japanese Empire, which received the news later than the South Americans, had no choice but to take on all the garbage!!! Instead, this is not a problem!!!”
Matsugata is still unforgettable.
The foreign minister found out that he had been hiding from the news of the Spanish Empire because he was the Satsuma Domain.
Matsugata took a deep breath.
“It was from the time the US moved the peso cash airlifted from South America to the Pacific Fleet. I directly scooped out the cash and put it in the mouths of Japanese commercial banks, so the panic has progressed so quickly.”
“…Your excuses are also noble.”
“It’s not an excuse!!! You guys can avoid it if you stick a gun in your temple and shoot?! That’s it!!!”
If the Japan Settlement Bank had transacted via telegraph in the US or Switzerland, things wouldn’t have gone so badly. However, they piled up so much money in their fleet and stormed into Yokohama Port, and the situation was at its worst.
The United States, which has poured billions of dollars into this huge Pacific ocean, and has built up a solid infrastructure, is crazy.
The industrial and naval power of the United States, which exceeded Japan’s imagination, accelerated the panic.
“The five major banks, which started to pay off debt by consuming the peso, began to spit blood. As a result, even the private capital underneath was devastated. I mean.”
“……”
“Our general was dragged and delayed by a month. If it had hit the floor, the peso would not have been detained for a moment, and the banks would have started to shake the day it was poured.”
The imperial council became solemn.
Because everyone in this place knew that the lieutenant colonel was a person who took care of the Japanese economy until he held the neck in the Tokyo Treaty.
However, the Minister of the Army Katsura objected.
No, the military did not pretend to listen no matter how easy the lieutenant was.
“In the end, it’s a matter between the captain and the navy minister.”
“…..No, what have you heard so far? This is a natural disaster!!!”
“-In the end, it’s all excuses and just the protests of the defeatists!!! The Japanese Army has strong doubts about the capabilities of the Japanese Navy, and I think the Minister of the Navy and the Chief of Staff should be held accountable!!!”
bang-!
Katsura’s eyes shone dangerously.
Prime Minister Yamagata was biting his teeth throughout the entire imperial meeting and glaring at Minister of the Army Katsura, but Katsura, who ran out of breath, took all this.
The Minister of the Army, Katsura, thought.
They are all tyrants who sold the Japanese Empire and are defeatists. If we could increase our armaments and arm the Japanese people, we had nothing to fear.
armament increase.
And the increase in armaments.
Ultimately, this was the only answer for the survival of the Japanese Empire.
tup-
“……Let’s take a break for now.”
The Emperor Meiji surprisingly did not interrupt the army minister’s words in the middle, and after listening to the end.
declared a break.
break time.
…Army Minister Katsura had a brief interview with the army generals in a corner of the Imperial Diet.
“Now it’s our turn.”
His Majesty the Emperor did not stop his words.
This meant that Emperor Meiji was also willing to get through this difficult situation, and that he had a very deep interest in the Ministry of the Army.
“The rest are all traitors. The spirit of the Meiji Restoration has fallen to the ground.”
The present Japanese Empire has no answer.
sheep too. Satsuma domain too. Navy too. Itou too. Yamagata too.
They were all just renegades, and they were just unbelievable rookies.
Eventually, the international community returned to power.
If you don’t have the power, you’ll just be slaughtered.
If the military could take control of the cabinet, the military of the Great Japanese Empire would not be so helplessly trampled on.
Now it was the turn of the Japanese Army, a true patriot of the Yushinji disaster, to stand up.
Now, when only the financiers are running wild, this was the perfect opportunity.
“…to preach to the young officers.”
Army Minister Katsura believed in young army officers. And sent them a short message.
“…I’m going to test your loyalty to the Emperor.”
Released the hunting dogs of the army.
Each of you, please prove your worth as your own Yushinji.

Japan Settlement Bank.
Tokyo bailout committee.
“The credit rating of Mitsubishi Coal Mine has been downgraded to CCC. Criminal acts are coming out one after another, so there will be no gambling. Mitsubishi Bank is also currently undergoing its first internal investigation and audit.”
Samuel Sachs and I were drinking Coke by the glass in the hallway on the first floor.
Perhaps it suited his taste, Sax has been wearing Coke since the day he first drank it.
win-
“It seems that Mitsubishi’s work is progressing well. The target after the First National Bank was Mitsubishi Bank, right?”
“Yes, Saks-sama. First of all, I showed Mitsubishi only the prequel.”
To be honest, the credit evaluation came out in less than a week, even if there was a problem.
Because in order to really do internal audit and accounting audit properly, it takes a month and a half for a month and a half to get the right result.
However, this is not a suitable method for a bailout.
bailout.
Dozens of companies will go bankrupt every time they are delayed by a day due to the immediate credit evaluation. So, I quickly extract only the reasons that I can understand and deal with it quickly.
Short-term bills continue to come to maturity, and if they fail to repay even one yen, they will default on their debts and go bankrupt.
‘Because this is better for them and for me.’
gulp gulp.
I shoved the Coke into my throat.
If you start digging through internal audits or accounting audits for half a year, all the Japanese banks will really die.
it doesn’t make any sense
What are the benefits of investigating an already bankrupt company?
Therefore, it is a hasty but abbreviated first credit evaluation.
“All illegal assets of the First National Bank were seized, graded by the asset sales department, and passed on to the auction department. The Bank of Japan has purchased all the assets and still holds them.”
“It’s really difficult. There’s the Joseon government’s public funds, customs duties, and even loans secured by Koreans’ land.”
“Yes, this would be a good card when negotiating with the Joseon government. Of course, all illegal contracts have been handed over to the International Court of Justice and the courts of the United States and Japan.
“Great.”
Sax sighed in admiration.
“So, what is the treatment of the First National Bank?”
“Primarily, the status of the 1st financial sector was deprived. It was downgraded to the 2nd financial sector, and the credit rating was downgraded to D. It entered the compulsory liquidation process, and finally, the banking license was permanently revoked.”
“Forcibly disbanded.”
“Yeah, D-Class is hopeless. It’ll be shattered soon.”
After Yasuda Bank, the First National Bank was dissolved.
What is Mitsubishi Bank thinking, waiting for a bailout?
You probably won’t see a good one.
bum bum.
We walked out the front door on the first floor with slow steps. Crowds of people pouring in to receive bailouts lined up over the wall.
The officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Agency were blocking their entry, and they even took care of our escort.
“Haha, Director Saks. Interestingly, it is illegal for foreigners to own land in Joseon. However, land security contracts owned by the Japan Settlement Bank. This is an indirect way of owning land.”
“You can create financial transactions by tying them up as collateral.”
“Yeah, a total of 500 information. The Japanese loan sharks, Almana or Hatcheo, they own the core of the open port and a large amount of rice farmland.”
“It’s all ours, that’s what you’re saying.”
“We need to negotiate well with the Joseon government.”
I wandered around the Tokyo branch without losing track of time discussing the results of Samuel Sachs, the Bank of Japan Settlements and the Bailout Committee.
“Still, that’s a pretty good deal for the Japanese government. It leaves room for the Japanese government to not take full control of their economy. In the end, these measures, though harsh, will bring the Japanese economy back to normal.”
“…..is it?”
“Yeah, I could have added more if I wanted to be vicious, but the Tokyo Treaty was signed in a cool way, so I’m going to go easily and easily.”
“It’s best to get maximum results with little effort. Only your heavenly Wall Street financials.”
“Haha. No.”
We started designing future bailout plans, sipping colas and discussing how to stake the Japanese economy.
So I didn’t notice.
Army officers deployed among the officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The fact that their eyes were shining unusually.

One of the young army officers quietly drew the katana from its sheath. Around him, other officers covered him with their bodies.

One cut sound.
Beep, hey, profit-!
Tinnitus stabs in my ear
tuk. tuk. poop.
And blood spilled on the ground.
Perhaps the distance was not enough, the end of the katana stopped at the line that cut my ear.
I couldn’t even feel the pain because it was so sudden.
Samuel Sachs’ face turned white as he looked at my ear.
“…..Oh shit.”
“……”
I quietly bowed my head and stared at the palms dripping with blood.
Drops of blood flowing down the jawline gathered at the tip of the tip and fell drop by drop on the palm of the hand.
He clenched his blood-soaked fists.
“……”
Tinnitus is annoying in the ears.
He tapped his ringing ears. He wiped the blood with his sleeve.
I looked down at the young officer who had been subdued by me.
