Wall Street of the third generation chaebol

＜ The obvious fate. (2) >

Washington DC

British Embassy in the United States.

“…So you mean that all but two of the 13 Spanish warships were captured?”

I was stunned.

You said you captured 11 out of 13 ships? Even the two ships are flagships and wooden ships.

I understand that the Cristina flagship is an important warship as it is the control tower of the fleet. I understand that the Castilla cruiser was not originally a warship, but a wooden ship whose purpose was to be a patrol ship to arrest smuggling and pirates.

But 11 ships captured?

“Admiral Dewey?”

“Right now, the U.S. Navy is almost a hero. 11 Spanish warships captured, two of which are armored cruisers.”

“I will.”

I should write a thank you letter to the Governor-General of Hong Kong.

It was thanks to Admiral Dewey’s command that the US Asian fleet was able to achieve such a victories, but thanks to the Hong Kong governor’s support of the Spanish consul, Spain welcomed the Asian fleet with information under control.

“It’s fortunate that the Spanish Navy has such a criminal record against the great powers on four armored cruisers. Well, the lack of their main fleet must have been a big factor.”

“I have no choice. The US Navy’s main fleet is concentrated in the Caribbean. Even the USS Oregon has turned around to the extreme ends of South America to be deployed in the Caribbean.”

“ah.”

There was no Panama Canal yet.

It was in the 20th century that the U.S. government pioneered the Panama Canal with an investment from JP Morgan Bank.

When Theodore Roosevelt ate the Philippines, threatened with the White Fleet and wielded supremacy in the Pacific.

‘Unlike the original history, however, the US will dominate the Pacific hegemony faster.’

The taste of imperialism is America.

If it even eats Cuba and Puerto Rico to gain hegemony in the Caribbean, wouldn’t the United States be able to swallow the Panama Canal unlike its original history?

Of course, I’ll have to take a little bit of my share as well.

“So, how is Micronesia going now?”

“It is said that a few armored cruisers and a few armed merchant ships have fallen from Admiral Dewey’s Asian fleet and are on tour.”

“itinerancy?”

“It is said that even if the armored cruisers bombard the shore with their guns, the number of armed merchant ships is so large that they surrender in fear.”

“ah…..”

He seemed to understand somehow.

The islands of Micronesia are made up of small islands. If more than 10 armed merchant ships rush in, no matter how fortified the base may be, it is inevitable.

James rubbed his neck sarcastically.

“Besides, Guam fired artillery, and the Spanish thought it was a salute. But they said they didn’t have any gunpowder to reply to their base, so they came out to apologize…”

“ha ha ha.”

Oddly enough, it’s the same as original love.

The only difference is that Guam, which was supposed to be captured on June 20, fell into American hands in early May.

“It’s ridiculous that I can’t even breathe.”

“For reference, a convoy of the US Army, escorted by the USS Charleston, departed from the mainland on May 5.”

“The army guys don’t even have machine guns, so I’ll eat some kids. How strong is the resistance in Islamic spheres like Mandanio Island in the Philippines?”

“You look strangely good.”

gulp.

I emptied the remaining Coke bottle and got up from the sofa in the lobby.

“It’s the mood.”

***

US Navy Department.

“Admiral Dewey’s Asian Fleet was linked with the Royal Navy of the British Army in Hong Kong to achieve a complete naval blockade of the Philippines.”

“In less than 24 hours after the battle began, the Philippine waters fell into American hands!”

The U.S. Navy Department fell into a crucible of enthusiasm at the news of the victory in the Philippines. The warships anchored at the naval base fired salutes to commemorate the victory, and Admiral Dewey’s enthusiasm blew among the cadets in Annapolis.

Deputy Secretary Roosevelt, seated at the top of the Naval Department’s conference room, raised an eyebrow.

“Are the waters of Micronesia completely in the hands of the US Navy?”

“Armed merchant ships acted as transport ships. After the warships of the Asian Fleet neutralized the coast, the Marines of the transport ships were sent in to occupy it.”

“It would have been a tougher fight without the Armed Merchant Ship.”

“Is that all? There was a lot of coal and ammunition, so I fired without a circle. They said that the coastal facilities were quickly disabled as well.”

“Oh yeah…..”

Admiral Dewey’s frenzy was raging, saying that the majority of the Navy Department credited it to Admiral Dewey, while senior officials and officers of the Navy Department trembled at other heroes hiding in the shadows.

Detroit Morgan.

Had he not brought in the Great Northern Railroad and the major shipping companies, or had not supplied large quantities of coal through the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Even if either one was lacking, there was enough room for defeat in the Battle of Manila this time.

“The name is Detroit (the Strait). Isn’t this the right person for the Navy Department?”

“I am sorry, Assistant Secretary-General, but 16-year-olds cannot enlist in the Navy.”

“Puh ha ha ha! That too.”

The name of Detroit Morgan was clearly etched in the heads of the high-ranking officials who attended the meeting.

‘It’s Detroit Morgan. I think I’ll get help again.’

But Roosevelt’s eyes twinkled in a different way. He planned to resign as assistant naval officer within two weeks and join the army militia.

When the American-Spanish War broke out, he wanted to earn achievements, because he thought that it would be better to create a volunteer corps and fight directly than the assistant secretary of the navy.

‘Your body aches.’

Woodduck-

In fact, Admiral Dewey passed the glory of victory to Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, who ordered the combat readiness of the Asian fleet, but the main spotlight turned to Admiral Dewey who participated in the actual battle.

I never gave up because I wanted to participate in the war on horseback.

really.

‘For once, the Navy’s wartime posture must be finished and resigned.’

“What about the USS Oregon?”

“I arrived safely in the Caribbean Sea around Cape Horn in South America.”

“It’s been a lot of trouble.”

The Philippines is just a prelude.

The US-Spanish war has not yet begun in earnest. Cuba was the main battlefield for the two countries in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The main fleets of the United States and Spain have assembled in Cuba.

bang-!

At that moment, an officer hurriedly opened the door to the conference room.

heh heh heh heh heh

“The movement of the Camara Fleet of Spain’s main fleet has been detected! This is from the Philippines!”

Camara Mobile Fleet.

The main fleet consisting of the elite warships of the Spanish Empire and the most powerful fleet in Spain.

One battleship, one armored cruiser, two auxiliary cruisers, three destroyers and two transports left the Spanish port for the Philippines.

“What?”

bang-!

The officers in the conference room felt their blood cool. There are only armored cruisers in the Asian fleet. The flower of naval battles, because there were no battleships.

“shit…..”

The Philippines is in danger.

British Navy.

Office of the 1st Naval Police Officer.

“Sir Richard. The Camara Fleet of the Spanish Empire requested the passage and use of the Suez Canal.”

1st Guard of the Royal Navy.

Admiral Frederick Richards stopped the pende rolling at the lieutenant’s message. Admiral Richard, with a heavy impression, raised his gaze slightly and looked at the lieutenant.

“Spain’s Suez Canal?”

“Yes. There was a case previously discussed at 10 Downing Street, so the Suez Canal side put it on hold and reported it to my home country.”

“Oh, is it Morocco?”

Admiral Richard rubbed his brow.

He had a headache because of the British naval defense laws. However, for the prosperity of the British Empire, as it was a law that must be implemented, he was having a busy day even if it was unreasonable.

He looked at the map on the wall.

‘Morocora.’

The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar can block the Mediterranean Sea. Among them, the last piece that can complete the disaster zone of the Strait of Gibraltar.

The port of Ceuta in Morocco.

Recently, the imperialists at 10 Downing Street were desperate to get it.

Among them was himself.

“The Spanish Empire is also pitiful. They don’t even know that the guns of the British Empire are pointing at their heads, and they’re asking for a helping hand.”

“then?”

“I cannot grant you the right to use the Suez Canal and the right to pass. As a bonus, we cannot permit transit through British ports and transit through the Strait of Malacca.”

Suez Canal and Strait of Malacca.

If the Spanish fleet could not pass through here, they would have to drift through the vast Indian Ocean through Cape Town in Africa.

In addition, you have to pass or circle the complex islands of Southeast Asia to reach the Philippines.

Even the Southeast Asian islands located in the southern part of the Philippines are Muslim spheres. They will welcome the Spanish warships of the true Catholic Church with open arms.

“……It is an indirect expression of intention to turn back.”

“Well, if the Camara fleet of the Spanish Empire can overcome these difficulties, there is no need to turn back. This is a good opportunity to test their patience.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

Druck-

Admiral Richard opened the chest of drawers, took out a stamp, and pounded the paperwork placed by the lieutenant.

“The problem is not with the Spanish Navy.”

Admiral Richard frowned.

A group of rogues were setting up that touched the hearts of the British Empire, which recently claimed to be a great isolationist.

German Empire.

Their emperor, Wilhelm II, harbors ambitions for world expansion and is a serious threat to the British Empire. The world policy he calls for has sparked a global naval warfare.

For that reason, Admiral Richard was increasing the naval power of the British Empire in accordance with the British Naval Defense Act, and he was expanding his energies to have more fleets than the fleets of the second and third largest naval powers.

damn Kaiser.

Blood stood in his tired eyes.

“I want a bite to eat.”

Just come up with a reason.

Admiral Richard was grinding his teeth inwardly, chasing the German fleet.

bang-!

“Morgan! Are you Morgan!”

A news agency ran out of the embassy’s communications room. He looked around, sweating profusely. As soon as our eyes met, he ran to me with the expression that he had been imprisoned for ten years.

I tensed up a bit, wondering if something had exploded.

“What is going on, however? Did the US Navy do something else?”

“no. It’s not the US Navy…”

The carrier took a deep breath and calmed the excitement. He looked at me with clear eyes.

“A direct line is connected to the Office of the Governor-General of Hong Kong.”

“…..!!!”

Hong Kong governor.

He was the person who helped me a lot in the Battle of Manila. To be precise, Wilson Black, acting acting governor of Hong Kong and commander-in-chief of the British Army in Hong Kong, will retire from Hong Kong next year.

Just as the president of his later years wielded unbridled power, he was, in a word, a person who had no objections.

‘Well, it is now 1898 that British Hong Kong absorbed the Kowloon Peninsula through the Second Beijing Treaty, but Sir McDonald of the Chinese Embassy in China is in charge.’

I’m still nervous

I wiped the sweat from my hands with a handkerchief and followed the news agency into the communications room.

The carrier put on the headphones and sat down.

“Signal is good.”

“So what does the Governor-General of Hong Kong say?”

“Shh.”

crispy- crispy-

The carrier concentrates on the headphones, scribbling cursive with a pen on a blank sheet of paper.

“This is it.”

🥳-

He handed me a telegram when he finished recording the sequence of strings. I was handed a telegram the size of the palm of my hand and read it.

In the Pacific direction, the German fleet’s warning fire was confirmed against the Asian fleet in your country. Assessed as a forceless demonstration. Please understand that we plan to respond with our own fleet.

– British Government-General of Hong Kong.

In the wake of Micronesia’s successive surrender, the German fleet, which had effective control over nearby German New Guinea, took the lead.

Then, the Royal Navy, who was waiting for the Kaiser Marine, appeared as if waiting.

It was the moment when insurance for the German Empire’s navy in the Pacific was working properly.

“great. It works as expected.”

However, even if the Royal Navy of the British Empire intervened and tried to f*ck the German Kaiser Marine, a justification would be needed.

I rubbed my lips with my hand and raised the corners of my lips.

‘Shall we throw the bait now?’

“The news agency. I’ll give you the telegram as I tell you.”

thump thump.

Confirmed that the owners of 5 of the supported armed merchant ships were corporations with British citizenship. The Governor-General of Hong Kong should refer to this fact.

– British Embassy in the United States

Confirmation through the home country that the owner of the merchant vessel is a British corporation. Thank you for your cooperation.

– British Government-General of Hong Kong

tap. widely.

The shipowner is the owner of the ship.

The vessel supported as an armed merchant vessel was originally operated by a large American shipping company, but the owner of the vessel was a British corporation.

In short, a merchant ship owned by a British corporation (albeit an armed merchant ship) received a warning fire from the German fleet, so the Royal Navy of the British Empire had an excuse to intervene.

This is how the German fleet hit our children.

“great.”

The fire was kindled.

Now all I need to do is watch the two whales fight from afar.
