“Alaska?”
British Treasury Secretary Robert rubbed his chin.
Alaska suddenly popped up as a reward. Of course, I’m not talking about Alaska itself. It was already part of the United States.
However, there were still unresolved problems at this time.
“I hope you will draw the border between British Columbia and Alaska in Canada’s favor for the United States.”
It was the Alaska border issue.
people don’t know Usually people ask, isn’t Alaska like a big refrigerator next to Canada?
…that tail is a bit too thick, so that’s a problem.
British Columbia.
It was a Canadian province bordering the Pacific coast.
And if you turn on the Maps app and zoom in on the border in detail, you will see the Alaska border in the United States, which has eaten up its conscience.
Alaska ate half of British Columbia’s Pacific coast.
“Umm…”
It’s like the border that ate up that conscience?
The British Treasury Secretary’s eyes pierced me as if saying,
As soon as I frowned, my expression softened.
who is the boss now
“Anyway, the Pacific Coast is US territory, regardless of the border issue with Alaska. What I’m talking about is how far inland British Columbia will be US territory.”
Actually, this is an act of extortion.
It was something the Secretary of State had to be bold about, and it was something that I should not interfere with. However, it didn’t matter because the specificity of this area was so hot that I had to mention it.
In the first place, it was a problem that Young-mi was fighting fiercely under the water.
“I know that we are in fierce negotiations with the US government because of the discovery of a gold mine in the Yukon Territory of Canada. That part is in our favor. I want you to draw a border.”
British Foreign Ministry.
In fact, the British threat with the dreadnought was sufficient as a pretext for war. It was a diplomatic mistake that Britain had nothing to say, even when the US government clamored for war!
I don’t know where the crazy idea of placing a dreadnought leased to the US on Geomundo came from. Or is it the Royal Navy’s sudden advance?
“after….”
The British finance minister touched his flabby forehead.
Because he was the one who suffered here because of the foreign ministry guys in his home country.
“For now, I know. British Columbia’s backlash will be strong, but first… let me tell you. If that’s the case, I think America will be able to calm it down.”
that will calm you down
Around 1896, when a gold mine was discovered in the Yukon Territory near Alaska, wild west frontiers who went wild in a frenzy were scattered across the American West.
How much boom can the United States achieve if it overlaps with Alaska along with the pioneering of the Pacific Ocean?
But the Alaskan Tail’s interests don’t end there.
“Then let’s move on to my personal interests.”
“……after.”
I’m a young finance minister.
Robert’s face was shriveled with that of the old man. That’s the job of a finance minister. When money comes in, the face is full of vitality and explodes, but when money goes out, it is infinitely wrinkled and depressed.
He gestured with a determined face, but with trembling hands.
“You tell me.”
“The right to operate port facilities, the right to deforestation, the right to mine mining. Of course, not all, but only a part.”
“…..”
The right to operate port facilities.
In the first place, Alaska’s Pacific coast is one of the most important trade hubs. Once the gold mines explode and the oil explodes, the port itself to transport them becomes very important.
Besides, since it is a relay point, you can earn a lot from the port business. If it is drawn in favor of the United States, part of Canada’s coastal area will be incorporated into the United States’ territory, so that part is required.
He said that I would eat one of them.
“Of course, the British side has to negotiate with the US State Department to negotiate my interests. Of course, if you want, we will also be present. We will do that.”
“Okay…”
How much is your UK hammock because of me?
You should vomit this much.
deforestation bonds.
Alaska’s conflict zone is home to huge forests. He said he wanted to get the deforestation bond in that forest.
However, deforestation claims should not be taken as they are. There is a reason why deforestation bonds are among the top 3 interest-takers along with mining rights and railway laying rights.
right of possession.
land for deforestation.
‘Besides, in the early 20th century, the United States is a booming period for timber, a typical boom in the timber industry.’
For example, most homes in the United States are wooden houses.
If you ask me why I don’t use concrete, it’s because wood is much cheaper than cement.
In particular, William Boeing is famous for making a jackpot by investing his initial investment in the timber business.
mining rights.
This is literally mining. As you know, Alaska was a crazy area where mineral resources were pouring out.
“Well…..”
Treasury Secretary Robert began to look at me as if he had sold his conscience to the devil, but he didn’t nod.
You guys are younger than your business.
In addition, in the original history, Roosevelt took the case to the International Permanent Court of Arbitration and eventually won the case.
I’m doing this because I’ve twisted history so spectacularly that I’m afraid I won’t be able to accept it.
don’t be embarrassed
it’s ours anyway
After all, maybe you’re doing it for free?
Twenty-two blasphemous thoughts came to my mind, even though it was not enough to be thankful.
“Chairman of Detroit.”
The British finance minister, noticing my increasingly strange aura, rushed in.
“Let’s get in touch with my home country first. It’s not a scale I’ll decide on my own.”
Eventually, the finance minister raised both hands.
***
Standard Oil has been ordered to disband.
But to my surprise, almost nothing happened.
standard oil.
At the end of the 19th century, when antitrust laws were in full swing, Standard Oil, which was rich and low-rich by the federal and state governments trying to break trust, eventually made New Jersey its headquarters in New Jersey.
However, the location of their holding company was New Jersey, and the head office personnel were carrying out their full-fledged work at the New York branch.
The headquarters is located in New Jersey.
Headquartered in New York.
President Rockefeller frowned.
“Detroit and New Jersey are slowing down the administrative process of corporate dissolution as much as possible. Although President McKinley’s dissolution order has been issued, they are pouring out lobbying funds in all directions to New Jersey lawmakers and administrators.”
“Are you suspended?”
“You’re welcome. We prepared well and applied to the court as soon as the disbandment order came in. The result will come out in two months from now.”
“okay.”
“I’ll have to endure those two months, but it’s a big deal. It’s only been a few weeks.”
“You don’t look at all.”
As usual, her face is like ice.
“Don’t worry about this. Because my body doesn’t have ups and downs.”
Shh.
He fixed his fedora.
I turned around.
“Anyway, to summarize what we’ve said so far, we have to defend ourselves for two months from McKinley’s White House, where New Jersey and New York are the most important areas.”
“There is no answer if the federal army invades and enforces them right away. Pinkertons were also gathered and deployed from all over the country. Originally, most of the troops that would be sent to the Qing Empire by now were concentrated in New Jersey and New York.”
In fact, Standard Oil of New Jersey and Standard Oil of New York are the two core companies of Standard Oil, so it must be protected at all costs.

Other places are as important as the viscera and extremities, but if the head is cut off in the first place, they die.
He was pushing the guillotine of the two-month time limit as much as possible.
“The holy land of Standard Oil. Pennsylvania is next to New York, so the oil extracted from the oil field goes through the refining process and is packaged, and the foreign shipments are moved through tankers to New York Port.”
President Rockefeller tapped his cane.
I looked at the tankers on the endless freight train. The train line continued over the horizon, but the end was invisible.
“Then is all this quantity?”
“Yeah, these are the oil that will be transported to tankers to Russia for finance. They will be loaded on freight trains to New York Port. Since the headquarters is in New York, it is easier to work there.”
“It’s a cell oil tanker.”
“Yeah, Standard Oil doesn’t have the technology to build tankers yet. We’re doing our best, but we need the help of Cell Oil to handle the volume to Russia.”
Cell Oil Company.
The British Cell Oil Company, which developed a commercial tanker and reigned as a loser in oil shipping, also joined the anti-Russian sanctions network, and Standard Oil was able to freely use the British Empire’s shipping routes.
It was a very good opportunity for Standard Oil’s board of directors to open up the tanker.
Sea freight is not expensive.
“okay.”
Anyway, the scale doesn’t go anywhere.
A giant chicken game.
Standard Oil will benefit greatly from this transaction. The giants of global oil giants Branovel, Cell, and Standard Oil were pouring out huge amounts of money in the name of Russian deflation in order to destroy other oil companies by joining hands.
It is convenient to think of them as short-selling institutions hitting shorts in the New York Stock Exchange.

Oil in cents.
Death Race.
Who goes bankrupt first?
It is a kind of destruction.
However…..
“Chairman, didn’t you really do accounting fraud this quarter?
The monster called Standard Oil made a profit in an ideal state. 미친새끼들.
Rockefeller laughed softly.
“There is no accounting fraud. Who writes clean accounting books in this day and age?”
“Well, it is.”
“But don’t worry. Thanks to you, Archibald is flying in the Far East. The oil market has grown rapidly, so, as you said, economies of scale have started to explode. Perhaps that’s why the surplus is also due.”
For reference, the Far East was originally a market for the Royal Dutch.
The Royal Dutch in question was stuck in Indonesia after hitting GG and entering Bongmun.
The Dutch will foam their mouths, but if you dare, go ahead.
Anyway.
“If it goes in such a large amount, wouldn’t Russia be angry?”
“Cell, Branovel, and Standard Oil use the same sales channels. There are hundreds of sales outlets in Europe and Russia alone. Even now, the offshore companies are still shutting down from time to time and new ones are being created. I’m tired of Ohrana being so stubborn.”
borderless borders.
Most of the vast land of imperial Russia can be smuggled from anywhere. That’s why Ohrana is struggling.
No matter how well-developed Ohrana secret police spy organization is, Russia’s land is so vast.
“Since the US has advanced into the Pacific Ocean, Ohrana seems to cover the Far East. Even if they find out, they have so many sales offices and they are a private company, so they listened with both hands and two heads.”
“The oil supply went to Vladivostok.”
“Because that’s also Russia.”
As a result, imperial Russia has now suffered a severe current account deficit and a budget deficit.
Why do fiscal deficits occur?
Yes, it is because Nikolai Tsar and Sergei Vite had their souls replaced on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
twin deficits.
The so-called ‘twin deficits’ that tormented President Reagan of the United States were eating imperial Russia in real time.
It’s like dying from deflation.
“If the Japanese archipelago and the Qing Empire were hunted and killed at once, imperial Russia is a strategy to slowly starve.”
“…If it were me, I’d be more afraid of the latter.”
“Yeah, it’s likely that Tsar Russia doesn’t even know who attacked it for as long as the 20th century.”
There is such a thing as ‘The Riddle of Greenspan’.
It refers to the phenomenon in which long-term bond yields fall no matter how much the US Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan raises the benchmark interest rate in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
The real point in this Greenspan conundrum is that this cut in long-term bond yields was driven by ‘China’s massive bond purchases’.
The problem is that the US didn’t know this.
‘That sounds crazy.’
The United States was the most powerful country at the time when the Soviet Union was destroyed and Pax America was realized.
that America.
China’s foreign capital flows could not be caught.
That was until 2007 and 2008, when Subprime and Lehman Brothers broke out.
Rockefeller frowned.
“However, there is no way that imperial Russia will not know. We will find out sooner or later.”
No, it’s impossible.
What the US couldn’t do, the outdated infrastructure and computerized Russia of 1900 can figure it out?
There is not even half a penny.
They will die slowly without even knowing why they are starving.
“You’ll find out if you let it go.”
“…Looking at you from the side, it looks like you’re doing magic with finance. Paganini of the violin got a contract with the devil and obtained that wonderful technique, didn’t you also make a contract with the devil?”
I shrugged at Rockefeller’s semi-joking tone.
“I do not know.”
If there is a devil.
You must be on Wall Street that attracts people with money. I rubbed my two fingers.
“I just love money.”
“Crazy.”
me.

Washington DC
Federal Reserve Board Office.
“It’s Krevas.”
Munchkin of the American legal profession.
Krevas, who has laid the foundation for the modern American law firm business, has finally joined Blachiford Law Firm. He took a list of patent monsters from me and finished reading it in an instant.
He was nothing more than a great spear that would pierce Bethlehem this time.
“It’s sophisticated.”
“Is that so?”
“Ah. I was referring to the design itself, not the legal part. The structure of the patent monster is well-organized. Besides, political dynamics is also an art. It will be perfect if only the legal part is refined.”
Bethlehem Steel.
How did they get an order for a dreadnought-class battleship? Even without paying royalties to the patent monster.
“By intentionally disturbing security, industrial spies of Bethlehem Steel were allowed to invade as patent monsters. With the patented technologies they picked, the Bethlehem Shipyard was commissioned to build a dreadnought class.”
why.
Did the Navy commission the dreadnought from Bethlehem, not the Portsmouth Company?
Crevass clapped his knees in admiration.
“Bethlehem Steel has swallowed up all the large shipyards in the western United States?”
“The Navy wanted to send the 8th and 9th Fleet to the Pacific right away. However, all of the shipyards in the west were transferred to Bethlehem Steel.”
Union Shipyard.
Several shipyards fell into their hands, including this large shipyard that they took over for mustard and bitter use.
From the US Navy’s point of view, the only place to receive an order from the western United States is here.
There was no Panama Canal yet.
If a dreadnought is ordered from the Eastern Shipyard, it takes up to half a year to deploy it even after it is built.
“Bethlehem Steel collected only the shipyard and physically divided into the Bethlehem shipyard. Is there a record of receiving external investment again recently?”
The Bethlehem Shipyard was prosperous.
Because Bethlehem dumped the majority of all the warships of the US Pacific Fleet and dumped them out.
That cash flow was going crazy.
If you have a very minor problem.
The point was that the technology stolen from the patent monster was not only applicable to the dreadnought.
The various patents were also abused on other warships they won.
For example, using Krupp steel for armored cruisers.
Putting a fire control system on the Freedreadnought class.
“That’s all- you know it’s illegal, right?”
Lawyer Crevass said with a smile.
I started to have a smile on my lips too.
“Can I claim compensation?”
“Are you only going to claim damages?”
“haha.”
“I can immediately issue an order to suspend the operation of the shipyard through the court. I will be able to smooth out business suspension.”
“What about the ships they have ordered and the warships that have already been built?”
“Are those warships built by stealing patents from patent monsters?”
“you’re right.”
Crevass brushed his beard.
“Perhaps we can scrape it off without leaving any bone dust behind.”
In the words of Crevass.
I laughed out loud.
“Is that so?”
“We could foreclose battleships, cruisers, destroyers under construction, as well as dreadnoughts and maybe even shipyards. Lobby the courts a bit, dump them, and if they fall, we can rip more.”
hey…
That’s why legal engineers are scary.
I was satisfied.
“I hope to go along well.”
“It is me.”
I shook his hand with a bright smile.
Skeleton.
In Bethlehem, all the flesh was removed as it was, and the course to the skeleton was confirmed.
I decided to put a little seasoning on it.
“Would you like to call Attorney General Taft too?”
Crevass quietly gave a thumbs up.
“please.”
