Wall Street of the third generation chaebol

Chapter 54

＜ Purge. (3) >

[ ‘I am a sinner’ by War Minister Elger. The one word that cut America in half. ]

[Peter of the War Department. The repentant Elzer gave America a trial with a sacrament of confession. ]

[ Washington DC politicians, the opposite of the Dreyfus case. But the development pattern is similar. ]

[Increasing public opinion. The United States was divided into the main wave and the anti-war wave. and an uncertain future. ]

[The United States was split in half. ]

– Washington Post (WP).

“It’s not even a fuss.”

🥳-

I closed the Washington Post morning.

Jack Tracy’s military trial was now being scheduled inside the Department of War.

War Secretary Elger wanted to hang Jack Tracy faster than ever, but he had to go through the formal procedures of the Army Military Court, no matter how draconian the military trial was.

Since the United States is a country of conservative Protestants based on the constitution, the procedures are surprisingly strict.

‘Well, as long as you have been referred to the Army Military Law Trial, there is no need to worry because the minimum life sentence is confirmed.’

It would be an innocent execution.

Since Jack Tracy has become a seizure button for the army, it is difficult for JP Morgan Bank, which has been caught in the supply corruption, to touch this case.

The execution of Jack Tracy is indispensable to establish the prestige of the army and to unite within the organization.

The veterans you didn’t know would rush to kill you?

Now all you have to do is watch.

‘More than that…’

The immediate problem was the storm of public opinion sparked by the whistleblower of the War Minister.

“It exploded wildly.”

After the Minister of War made an insider revelation with a confession that began with ‘I am a sinner’, America was split in half.

[I accuse ]

Like January of this year.

It was like seeing France split into two camps after Emile Zola of the Third Republic of France published an open letter to the President of Lauror.

The reason is different.

The flow was similar.

[Forty thousand casualties. Should America’s sons continue the dying war? ]

[What have they accomplished with their lives? there was nothing. ]

[Operation Guantanamo Evacuation, it is now time to wake up from the illusion of meaningless war. ]

– The New York Journal.

An anti-war group that calls for human rights based on the casualties of 40,000 people.

[It’s just a mistake caused by the corruption of the War Department, the United States is not defeated. The U.S. Navy is still defending the free order in the Pacific. ]

[ What are the national interests that the United States can gain from hegemony in the Pacific? ]

[The rise of the United States. Recognition of the international community and entry into the ranks of great powers is approaching. ]

– New York World.

The main radio wave that calls for war while thrilling the victory over the Pacific hegemony.

It was a conflict between human rights and national interests.

‘The problem of ideological conflict that will burn the early 20th century is already emerging. Even in America.’

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of the French Revolution.

The ‘Bill of Rights’ of the Glorious Revolution.

The ‘Declaration of Independence’ of the American Revolutionary War.

Efforts for freedom and human rights were an enlightenment movement that broke the Western dictatorship and ensured the rights of individual citizens.

But in the end it is a return to the monarchy.

After the French Revolution, the French Revolutionary government, which had achieved human rights under the pressure of the Great French Alliance, had a period of war.

Along with the chaos of internal purges.

– Nothing is impossible in my dictionary!

The rise of Napoleon.

However, he eventually overthrew the French revolutionary government and declared the First French Reich, which put an end to democracy again.

With Napoleon’s empire, France establishes the value of being a ‘Frenchman’. It ignited the spirit of nationalism that was spreading from the Treaty of Westphalia.

In this way, he pushed the whole of Europe into a powder vault of narrow nationalism.

However.

There was no consensus system for nationalism.

It was like a newspaper article called automobiles came out, but there is no legal system for that.

How are you?

Nationalism starts to drive the car at its own pace.

left and right.

progressives and conservatives.

human rights and national interest.

The conflict of burning ideologies intensified through such a period, and through the chaotic period of World War I, the far-right and the far-left. The road to totalitarianism and communism was wide open.

So now.

America was at an important crossroads.

“Still, isn’t it going the way you expected? The anti-war wave gained momentum, but thanks to the victories in the Pacific, the voice of the main wave is not uncomfortably high.”

“okay. That’s right. But this debate is not that simple.”

main wave and reverse wave.

It looks simple on the outside, but when you look inside, it’s much more complicated inside.

“James, what do you think is the generational conflict that divides America at the end of the 19th century?”

“Isn’t this a conflict between the generation that suffered from the Civil War and the generation that suffered from the plating age?”

“Exactly.”

Old and new generations.

The older generations who experienced the Civil War are those who have seen the horrors of the war with their own eyes. The era of 19th-century line battles.

This is the generation of line infantry.

Deep in PTSD in the neoclassical era, they wanted to stop the repeat of this terrible war on the side of anti-war public opinion.

‘But the situation is a little different for the new generation who were born in the era of western pioneering and went through the era of reconstruction (plating).’

They were the generation that experienced firsthand the expanding America, and they were thirsty for American glory.

This aspect can be seen in the United States’ enthusiasm for the expansion policy of Theodore Roosevelt.

“In a nutshell, the new generation is the generation that eagerly wants to taste the imperialistic America.”

“…and the United States has already won the Pacific supremacy with one great victory.”

“right. Now the new generation is addicted to the drug of imperialism. They never give up halfway.”

and financiers.

Wall Street was no different.

bang-!

James picked up a copy of the WSJ evening and walked over to me.

His steps were hasty.

“It fell 10% today alone! The publisher of Charles Dow has sent us detailed stock information on the New York Stock Exchange.”

“Oh, the president of the New York Stock Exchange didn’t listen to me and removed the circuit break?”

“Yeah, 30% of the stock market evaporated in one month.”

America’s defeat.

Operation Guantanamo Evacuation.

Beef scandal.

And yesterday, the Minister of War whistleblowing.

The New York Stock Exchange, which has been hit by a critical hit four times in a row, has naturally been transformed into ruins like tattered rags. Since there was no circuit brake, it was cut vertically like a cliff.

“Withdrawing the funds was a godsend.”

However, the hedge fund was not harmed.

The funds of the railroad fund were withdrawn from the New York Stock Exchange in advance, and the loss was $0.

Short-selling funds that have pulled leverage are now enjoying a real-time boom.

The yield is approximately +100%.

When leveraged more than 3 times, the short-selling fund doubled the principal.

“The investors in New York aren’t even mad.”

A major broadcaster who can’t forget the moment of glory of gaining supremacy in the Pacific like a drug.

They found that war is money.

So, he was agitating public opinion by devouring the items that came out as panic cells.

And the anti-war public opinion that the US army is immature and has not yet reached the ranks of great powers.

Through them, panic cells poured into the New York Stock Exchange.

“Well, 30% of the New York Stock Exchange has evaporated, but wouldn’t the damage be that big?”

“Okay.”

The New York stock market was already rushing upwards with a huge win across the Pacific.

From a +30% gain to a -30% drop, the New York Stock Exchange had little to no impact on the figures.

Thanks to that, the Wall Street Journal did not use the word panic yet.

‘It’s a yellow press, I’m excited to write it…’

That neighborhood is also bloody now.

“Aren’t the yellow press guys going crazy right now?”

“It’s bullshit.”

James shrugged.

That’s because even the yellow press was divided into the main wave and the anti-war wave.

Democrat William Hearst.

Republican Joseph Pulitzer.

The fight between the two turned the entire New York area, including the New York press, into a dog fight.

– Do you know the horrors of war?! Do you know how it felt when the comrades next to you were knocked down by bullets and I was the only one left!!

– The 19th century will end soon and a new era of the 20th century will begin!! The United States, which has gone through the Industrial Revolution and the era of reconstruction, can win this war enough!! Wouldn’t it be the highest honor if you could contribute to the country through personal sacrifice!!

– Whether the times change or America becomes great, war is just war. Can you hear the sound even when you see this bullet that pierced my arm?!

Just throwing a copy of the evening newspaper at the family where they were having a peaceful dinner turned into an arena where they held each other’s necks and raised their voices.

“But there’s no other place like Washington, D.C.”

The core and highlight of this conflict.

Lastly, the conflict between the Democrats and Republicans, the core forces of Washington DC, was at its peak.

“Master, do you know very well?”

“If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be in danger even if you fight a hundred times.”

grandson law,

Jeep Jijigi is in full swing.

It is Wall Street investors who make money using information.

Therefore, only by knowing the anti-war public opinion and grasping its core can change this trend of political affairs into the main public opinion.

“Bocchan, but how do you get through this chaotic situation?”

“It’s rather good. Public opinion about ‘war’ is exploding like a volcano.”

At present, the attention of the entire United States is focused on ‘war’.

Conversely, what if we could just turn them all into the main wave?

“Since the machine guns are ready for sale, we can just complain about the wick.”

“But it seems that the confrontation between the anti-war and the main wave is not going to go away so quickly.”

no.

I know of a joker that can be used in this situation.

If you’re an American, it’s the seizure button that blows your mind and calls for war.

“James, please contact the British embassy to check. I’ve heard that the Spanish Empire is planning an invasion of the US mainland. I’d like to know if it’s true or not through the British Naval Intelligence Service.”

Camara Fleet.

The Spanish Navy still had a large number of elite fleets on its mainland.

So, around this time in the original history, the invasion operation of the American mainland South Carolina was seriously established, but there was a history of discarding it due to the defeat of Cuba.

But now, unlike then, the United States has been robbed and withdrawn from Cuba.

Even inside the United States, it was divided and headed for chaos.

attack.

wouldn’t it?

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t. The fact that you have such a plan is important.”

Zimmermann Telegram Incident.

In the original history, the United States was already a nation that had a history of participating in World War I with only one telegram of a plan to invade the mainland.

wall street.

Republican secrets.

“Hmm.”

John Sherman ripped open the envelope from the White House, checked the contents, and let out a sigh. I’ve heard of dogfights between Republicans and Democrats in Washington DC right now, but I never imagined it would be this severe.

“The Republican Party is in a state of emergency…is it?”

You need a game changer.

The owner of the White House was asking his former secretary of state for a solution. It’s a way to make the whole of the United States simmer with public opinion.

In an instant, a figure popped into his mind. The 16-year-old boy he quits secretary of state and flies to Wall Street to keep observing.

“Detroit Morgan……”

The young king of exclusive trusts.

But his railroad trust and hedge fund acted in the national interest. As a result, the United States gained dominance in the Pacific.

I don’t know what kind of deal there was with the Navy and the British Empire. But their victories hindered the American people from abandoning the path of imperialism.

America was divided in two.

In fact, I don’t even know myself.

Should we give up the road of imperialism for human rights? Or should we pursue the path of imperialism by pushing for war for the sake of the national interest?

Some wrap it up as the fate of the free camp. However, politicians, diplomats, and business figures like us clearly understood its essence.

This is clearly imperialism.

In the meantime, the fact that the West has been pioneered through clear fate is actually the result of grabbing Mexico by the collar and ripping it off.

There is no need to pretend to lose or profit.

There are only cool calculations.

In that sense, Detroit Morgan is the best talent.

“Sherman, are you worried? His already angry face has been wrinkled.”

“…Rockefeller.”

Sherman wiped his face. Because of this letter from the White House, I forgot that there was one more person in this room now.

profit-

Rockefeller opened the Coca-Cola bottle with an expressionless face. He even filled the glass.

“The Rail Trust that Detroit created was a great thing. With an exclusive trust, we are doing a good job of serving the national interest of the United States.”

“Rockefeller, your standard oil is clearly a harm to the American economy. It’s just that Detroit’s Rail Trust is special.”

Sherman frowned as he watched that Rockefeller casually sipping and sipping Coke.

Standard Oil devoured 90% of the oil market, and in the process, it was the embodiment of capitalism that used all vicious means such as kickbacks, collusion, intimidation, massacre, and lobbying.

Seeing him do his job mechanically with that expressionless face was like an engine built solely to create a monopoly.

“Sherman, I’m troubled by the antitrust laws you’ve created, so can’t we just give it a draw? Even these days, if I just go to bed, I have nightmares of the company being dissolved.”

“It’s tough.”

Huh, Sherman chuckled.

“On the subject of exploiting anti-monopoly laws and extracting profits.”

“Hmm. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I can’t get any sense of it.”

“Twitter.”

Sherman clicked his tongue.

“By the way, every time I come to Wall Street, I get a new feeling.”

At Sherman’s words, Rockefeller turned his gaze to the view of Wall Street from the window.

‘This is Detroit Morgan’s home.’

Once again, John Davidson Rockefeller also approached Wall Street somewhat special.

He was his first supporter.

“Sherman, is what you’re doing after resigning as Secretary of State is a behind-the-scenes investigation of a 16-year-old? I don’t know where the people who rushed to disband my company have disappeared.”

“You also heard the name Detroit and appeared like Detroit.”

“Hmm.”

Rockefeller savored the Coke and stared at Sherman with a sullen look in his eyes.

“Sherman, I can see why you’re spying on Detroit Morgan. But I don’t know what that has to do with the letter.”

“….!!!”

“It must have been a letter from the White House. The content is quite catchy. I’m going to ask you to bring up an issue that could be a game changer.”

“……”

“So you’re going to use Detroit Morgan as a game changer? Is it senility to use a great monopoly capitalist like Detroit Morgan as a game changer? You must be old too.”

Sherman was silent about Rockefeller’s savage murder.

he’s right

Because when Detroit Morgan established the Railroad Trust, he thought he was the second generation of the robber aristocracy that harmed American interests.

But I saw his steps in running a rail trust for America’s Pacific hegemony, attracting shipping companies, and reducing the casualties of war through the Red Cross.

Maybe trust is a good thing in the US economy. The thought comes to mind sometimes.

Whoo-

‘If it’s senility, it’s senility.’

As Sherman thought seriously, Rockefeller gradually pulled his upper body forward.

“Are you serious?”

Rockefeller’s eyes lit up with curiosity. He was wielding the mace of antitrust laws and accusing Detroit Morgan of monopoly trust.

Not long ago, he was accused of being a vicious capitalist of the Railroad Trust.

After resigning as Secretary of State and starting a follow-up on Detroit Morgan, he was now so favorable to him that he was considering Detroit Morgan as a game changer for the White House.

impossible.

But it worked like a miracle.

‘Detroit Morgan. It’s nice to watch.’

f*ck.

Rockefeller’s expressionless face cracked and a streak of laughter formed. This is the time to roll up your arms as a supporter and help out.

feeling came

“Sherman.”

“Why are you calling me?”

Oops-

Rockefeller took a fountain pen out of his suit pocket and opened the lid.

“Leave some blank space under that Detroit recommendation. I will also sign the letter of recommendation.”

“….!!!”

Sherman rolled his eyes.

However, he soon took out a blank sheet of paper and began to write a letter of recommendation. And leaving a final blank, he handed it over to Rockefeller.

Shasasak-

Susak-

In this way, the letter of recommendation of Chaos was completed, which was signed by the founder of the modern anti-monopoly law and the head of the monopoly oil company at the same time.

Letters of recommendation were sent directly to the White House.

***

Federal Steel Board of Directors.

“Master, a letter has arrived from the hedge fund.”

“letter?”

“Yes, but there is only a red seal on the outside of the stationery. It’s pure white. There is no address written on it.”

“Hmm?”

The outside of the envelope is completely blank.

This means that the sender of the letter decided that this letter could not be sent through the post office and sent it directly.

I was handed the letter.

sak-

When I opened the envelope with an envelope knife, the stationery splattered onto my hand.
