Chapter 74

＜ Dreadnought. (2) >

[U.S. Department of War, Conscription Service (SSS) established. The conscription begins in earnest. The target age range is between 18 and 25 years old.]

[The target recruitment is 500,000 people. And the pouring of volunteers.]

[Over 100,000 people in a week. The wave of patriotism flows.]

-Washington Post (WP)

🥳-

I put down the newspaper.

“Haha. 100,000 people in a week.”

those ten thousand. Half of them are rough riders.

The young men who volunteered for the Rough Riders in Texas ran to the conscription department as soon as the draft began, and the US Army was filled with members who had been trained for more than half a year.

This draft law opened up the voluntary enlistment of adults, so even rough riders over the age of 25 volunteered to enlist.

“It’s a natural result since we opened the way for the draft riders in the first place.”

“It is said that all veterans of the army have returned.”

“I will.”

no it can’t be

Rather, the limit-level special characters are poured out. The first expedition had a harpoon last time, so there was a gap in the ranks, so it was an unavoidable result.

Still, they are talented people who have trained for more than half a year, so at least they are better than recruits.

‘Recruiters in the US Army… are notorious.’

In the United States, where there is no compulsory education, there were many Americans who had to teach even brushing their teeth.

“James. What about Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, and Kunlop?”

“Once I got a telegram from Goldman Sachs, the national banks of the Japanese Empire started sucking in the peso.”

“Any subsidiary? Is the Japan Settlement Bank established by a joint venture between an offshore company set up in Basel, Switzerland and Goldman Sachs working well?”

“Yes, we plan to hire additional talents from the mainland of Japan. As they are those who used to go to the national bank, they will have a good network.”

“Okay. Let’s proceed.”

“Yes!”

James wrote down his beauty in his notebook.

“More than that, Master, this is the Newport News Shipyard.”

James quickly pulled out the file folder that was in his armpit.

“The directors who were dismissed due to bankruptcy are being brought back one after another, and we need a central point to lead them.

“Uh, yes. We’re not managers.”

We are investors.

So you have to put the right person in the right place. But don’t we have proven greetings?

The person who developed Newport News to the point where it could even pull out an aircraft carrier in the future.

“Collice Huntington, who was dragged into accounting fraud, is too much trouble. Bring his nephew Henry Huntington. Because the Huntington family’s management ability has been proven.”

“Yes. I’ll bring you right away.”

“Oh, and one more.”

“Yes?”

James turned to me.

Well, even if you leave it to the Huntington family, it will run well. Because stock options are basic, and I am not a person who pays for bonuses. But if you said you didn’t want to work, you didn’t want to bring it up.

“If you say you don’t want to, just come back. There’s no need to ‘take me’.”

“Haha. I see.”

bang-

James, with a more relaxed face, closed the door and left.

I looked down at the newspaper.

“Organize 20 new corps and push them into major naval ports.”

2.5 million per corps.

This is an increase of 15,000 members from the previous corps. From the vanguard unit, follow-up unit, support unit, and reserve unit to block each major naval port.

Twenty corps were assigned according to their respective uses.

“Is it our ‘enemy’. Haha.”

enemy.

It’s a very vague word. It was clear, I think, that Roosevelt would necessarily annex Cuba and the Philippines into the United States.

As the Katsura-Taft secret agreement happened when he was president, our teddy was sincere towards the colony.

“The military law stipulates that any act of shooting an ally is an act of hostility. Be it civilians or soldiers.”

The current military corporation, River Code.

I immediately remembered Jack Tracy, who had been tried by military law.

The current military law of the U.S. Army was slightly improved during the Civil War, and the generals of the Civil War were still on active duty.

In addition, the generals who slaughtered the Indians were also mixed in.

Cuba and the Philippines.

The chemical reaction they will cause when they combine with Roosevelt is predictable enough.

“It will wipe out the Filipino rebels and the Cuban rebels. There is no hesitation as the 3rd Teller Amendment only states that it will only annihilate the American enemy.”

Are there really only rebels that favor the US military among the rebels? If even one American soldier is killed by them, it will be wiped out as a cause.

‘I don’t know if this will be the 51st and 52nd states in the US.’

Roosevelt’s will was a man who could even go to additional conscription.

If it is really annexed to the United States. The impact he will have on next year’s presidential election will be enormous.

I quickly hardened my face.

“I’ll have to prepare.”

Theodore Roosevelt.

The teddy bear who will dismantle the trust. I have not yet forgotten his antitrust tendencies.

“Lieutenant Colonel Pershing. Please take care of me.”

“Yes, thank you.”

This novel was posted at https://readwn.com

Officers who took off their civilian uniforms and put on their military uniforms again had their epaulets put on. So the Rough Riders quickly took over the army.

As Roosevelt was a rough rider, he was superior to most units as he had been trained for half a year with machine guns.

John Joseph Pershing had been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

“Commander Nelson is watching.”

“…!!! Yep.”

“Haha, don’t freeze like that. Everything becomes your blood and flesh.”

I don’t know if the flesh and blood will be found.

Pershing fully understood what the senior officer had swallowed, and his expression hardened.

this war.

This war with machine guns appeared at the forefront, because it was more devastating than any other remnant before.

“You know it well because you were from the 1st expedition, but in front of a machine gun, you can’t even be given the value of a handful of meat, such as a human or a horse.”

“……Yes.”

“At least, don’t uselessly destroy the lives of the soldiers and officers you command. That’s patriotism.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“great.”

Tak Tak-

The senior officer shrugged Pershing’s shoulder.

“Did you know? Will this war put a star on your shoulders? I’m not an interim lieutenant colonel. I’m just a lieutenant colonel. Commander Nelson has a high regard for you. He wanted to join the staff, but…”

gulp.

Pershing swallowed.

“It seems like you want to see your field skills. But don’t live up to your expectations. All you have to do is come back alive. That’s the core of this war.”

“…..Yes.”

“You know how many times you will be called to the Chief of Staff right away.”

A slaughter battle to be shredded by a machine gun.

If you survive, you win.

The one who dies first of both sides loses. complete inventory. A battlefield where people turn into numbers.

chuck-

Pershing saluted.

“I will not disappoint.”

***

United States Department of War.

“I entered the war from the Operation Command. The amphibious operation at major ports such as Havana, Guantanamo, and Santiago, Cuba has been completed.”

“Successfully recaptured the port. It is said that the port has been secured soon with the fire support of the warships. However, it is expected that the trenches of the Spanish army will be waiting.”

“Are the supplies still there!!! Why hasn’t the supply ship arrived yet!!!”

“We shipped the weapons first!!! We only spent a week together, and the rest of the logisticians will join the follow-up unit!!!”

“Production of more than 4/5 rifles from the New York Ordnance Bureau has been completed. Machine guns have also been purchased for all orders. They are all new, not outdated.”

after-

Roosevelt smoked a cigar amidst the chaotic noise. Commanding the army is the Operational Command, but the administrative tasks such as logistics, arsenal, conscription, and management were the work of the War Department.

But Roosevelt’s eyes grew brighter day by day.

“Haha. I thought the desk head would be boring, but it’s more exciting than I thought.”

“It is because it is an amphibious operation. Minister. We must mobilize all administrative support according to the schedule of the Operation Command.”

“That’s right.”

🥳-

Roosevelt snatched the letter from his secretary.

“This?”

“This is a letter from the Detroit War Adviser. Show it only to the Minister, saying that it is confidential.”

“…Oh, that’s it.”

f*ck.

Roosevelt opened the letter and read the full text like a child holding a toy.

The more I read, the more Roosevelt’s face loosened.

“great.”

clenched his fists tightly.

The drying of the dreadnought that Detroit was talking about began to accelerate in earnest. When the budget prepared in accordance with the Maritime Security Act was poured into the Newport News shipyard, it was moving faster and more vigorously.

A single battleship that mobilized all the manpower of all shipyards.

An absolute asymmetric force that will reset the world’s naval forces.

‘I even attached a picture of the dry dog.’

Roosevelt couldn’t contain his excitement.

Just by looking at that huge dry dog that was enlarged, his heart was pounding and he felt like he was fit for the military.

“You look good.”

“See? That’s correct. I’m in a very good mood right now.”

‘If I were to name the class of battleships, it should be Detroit class. After all, the general public would think it was a common city name.’

It was Roosevelt seriously contemplating the sound of terrifying Detroit.

“How much do you expect to dig a trench?”

The secretary smiled at Roosevelt’s question.

“You know the reason. This time, before the logistical, it was loaded with weapons first.”

“Haha. That’s right.”

“Probably within a week, it will be devastated by the baptism of American artillery shells.”

Cannonballs pouring out of the New York Ordnance Department.

I was going to consume it all without leaving a single thing.

“I’m really looking forward to that.”

Whoops-

Roosevelt buried himself in the chair.

“Oh, do you have any news about the Cuban rebels?”

brown bear.

The waters of imperialism began to flow in Roosevelt’s eyes.

***

that time.

German Empire Essence.

[Chairman Krupp’s shocking idealism. Homos*xuality with minors.]

[s*xual Abuse and Abnormal s*xual Desire. Is Krupp’s welfare really safe?]

[The pouring suspicion. Chairman who entered the chipger. And the people of Essen City are trembling with anxiety.]

[Krupp begins to shake.]

-Vorwärts

The allegations began on the Italian island of Capri.

Krupp, who was observing the ocean on the island of Capri, was shocked by the revelations from the Italian newspaper and stayed at home.

The Social Democrats (SPD), who were aiming at Krupp in such a way as to live only for food, bit Krupp because it wanted to be this time.

Vorwärts.

The representative media of the Social Democrats were pouring out media articles blaming Krupp in a crossfire.

“The Social Democrats are terrible too.”

Kahlik W. Veyron.

The New York Ordnance Bureau chief was dispatched to Germany from the hedge fund secretary’s office. He was called up because he was German-American and because he was fluent in German.

He sat on a chair in Krupp’s drawing room and folded the Fort newspaper.

Bump-

Just then, the living room door opened and a man entered.

“You’ve been waiting a long time.”

“no.”

“Yes, it is because our company is going crazy these days. Chairman Krupp has been involved in a scandal. Payments are all blocked.”

“…that would be a big deal.”

It seemed that Krupp’s internal situation was more serious than expected.

But the man smiled.

“No. Wouldn’t it be okay if I just hand over the patent to you and retire? Wasn’t that the place to go through all the identity laundering and immigration procedures?”

“Haha, stop worrying. Even your children are fluent in English, so they will adapt well to life in the US. Just trust us and follow us.”

$5 million per patent purchase.

And $100,000 to buy the team leader right in front of you. $1 million to buy his legal team.

Now, Krupp’s legal team 1 will live in the United States with a million dollars.

“Yes, thank you.”

We promised to call it this.

industrial espionage.

and a few days later.

[Chairman Krupp, a sudden death at home.]

[The exact cause of death is unknown. Absent from Wilhelm II’s solo battalion. A woman admitted to a psychiatric hospital. and heirs under the age of 15.]

[The military, the imperial family, and the Prussian Senate moving in the name of Krupp’s protection.]

[God has abandoned Krupp.]

-Vorwärts

The successor to Krupp was too young.

Her guardian is gone.

The German emperor expressed his regret and took Krupp into his arms as his successor.

“Is the imperial family protecting Krupp until the heir is fully grown? The cause is good.”

“Yeah, for sure, this cause makes Krupp company safe, and the imperial family can solidify their friendship with Krupp. At the same time, they can win the hearts of the people of Essence.”

“Anyway, they are politicians.”

Every action is a calculation.

How do you live like that? There are too many times when I have to ask.

Because Krupp has brought us all useful information. The young heir of Kruppsa will grow up safely under the protection of the imperial family.

Veyron, who I had entered New York, was sitting opposite me.

“How was Germany. Aren’t you German-American too. I’m curious about your feelings.”

“…I’m going to bury the bones here.”

“Hahaha!!! No, you don’t have to bury the bones, but that’s kind of appreciated. It’s good for me to have talented people like you.”

Veyron’s work was neat.

It does not choose any means and methods to extract the maximum efficiency with the minimum budget.

Hopefully, I will take advantage of the chaos to touch the legal team, not the technical staff. As forensic engineers, they did not have to worry about leaving their mark.

“So. What did they do?”

“I was laundered and entered into New York. They smuggled me through Ireland.”

“great.”

I picked up the file folder from the desk.

“These are those Krupp gloves.”

“Yes, nickel steel patents and materials for cement gloves. The cement gloves you mentioned are not yet developed technology.”

“Leave that to the New York Ordnance Bureau. Engineers abound. Bring some experts from Newport News Shipyard and Federal Steel. If you’re short, you can pick up a few from Vickers or Whitworth.”

f*ck.

I smiled.

with this

The ax to destroy Bethlehem and the pieces to build the dreadnought were all collected.

“Ah, master.”

Veyron pulled out another file folder.

“I have a little more budget, so I brought another one from Krupp.”

“Well?”

I accepted the filing.

However, the more I read the content, the more serious my expression became, and the moment I opened my eyes wide.

‘What a crazy…’

World War I.
