“The Wrath of the Berlin Palace. (3) >

“I will come back to Berlin Palace.”

Berlin Palace.

Today, I entered the Berlin Palace at the request of Wilhelm Kaiser. The qualification to enter the palace is that of the German Investment Corporation. Kaiser’s will to negotiate with the German Investment Corporation was stubborn.

“Thanks to you, I, Thyssen President, are coming back to the Berlin Palace again.”

President Thyssen.

Kaiser invited the Thyssen chairman along with me, the president of the German Investment Corporation.

Thyssen is Krupp’s rival.

But in Germany as a whole, he is only the chairman of Thyssen Steel, the second-largest German steelmaker.

For the Berlin Palace, it’s just one of the promising German industries.

“By the way, is there any chance that Germany Investment Corporation and Thyssen Steel will be called together?”

“I do not know.”

Germany Investment Corporation and Thyssen Steel.

The intersection of these two is steel.

The de facto holding company of the German Steel Alliance (VST) is the German Settlement Bank. The largest shareholder of the German Settlement Bank was the German Investment Corporation.

“It is a structure in which a holding company called the German Steel Alliance (VST) owns a stake in Thyssen Steel. It is a community of destiny.”

“VST is devouring German steel companies one after another, so did you know that VST is actually the number one in the German steel industry?”

“But VST is still an alliance. It’s not a single company. It’s kind of like a consortium.”

“For the Germans, there it is.”

“Well, in Germany, I’m used to a corporation in the form of a consortium.”

Since the German Empire is a country where collusion is legal, it is common to establish a corporation in the form of a consortium.

If you look only at the financial world, most of the large banks are established with investment in the form of consortiums.

The same goes for steel.

That’s why the word ‘association’ is included in the corporate name.

furthermore.

I have the voting rights.

As the affiliated banks of the German Settlement Bank usually cast their voting rights at me, the German Investment Corporation is in fact the head of the German Steel Alliance.

“But the palace is noisy.”

“Um. Not only the Berlin Palace administrators, but also the Prussian military and senators. What’s going on?”

Soldiers in uniform and legislators in suits.

They both entered the Berlin Palace.

Seeing the palace magistrates in a hurry, something must have happened.

bang-!

At that moment, the gates of the Berlin Palace opened and soldiers poured in.

Guards.

Among them, the 1st Guards Cavalry Brigade, the Garde Ducops Regiment.

It was the personal bodyguard of the German emperor.

“Let go! Let this go! Why are you dragging someone who can walk like this! Let go!”

“Moltke?”

Moltke was being pulled like a dog by the guards with both arms bound. It was absurd for the German military to treat a Prussian military general with such disgrace.

President Thyssen looked at the tragedy with a surprised face.

“I think something happened in Berlin Palace.”

“What happened?”

“Look around. None of the enlisted Prussian officers are stopping Moltke’s actions.”

Conquest of the German Empire.

The restrained Junker officers only frowned and watched Moltke’s treatment without saying anything. Some frowned, and others openly criticized Moltke.

“why?”

“Well. Maybe he’s a karma guy. Looking at what Moltke has been doing in Krupp, Berlin Palace has endured a lot.

Moltke was dragged onto the carpet of the Berlin Palace. Every time he is dragged, the carpet of the imperial palace is crumpled.

The Junkers frowned and gave a look of contempt.

“You bastards! Let go! You don’t know who I am! Moltkeda! Moltke! Where is the disgrace of dragging a general like this!”

Moltke was insane.

The German imperial conquest he wore was crumpled, and the resolute Imperial Guard dragged Moltke into a real ‘dog’.

Moltke’s screams were getting farther away.

“But it’s also right to overdo it.”

I don’t know when I see the Moltke itself.

Moltke’s halo, connections, and positions are not to be taken lightly.

Moreover, the nephew of the Great Moltke.

That alone could have already become a point for the Junkers to unite and gather.

“ah.”

Realized.

“Why but?”

“The German Imperial Army entered the palace. Members of the Prussian Senate. And the cabinet ministers must have entered the palace as well.”

“That’s right. Everyone’s gathered.”

“I saw the kids from Deutsche Bank earlier. Also from the DISCOMT Geselshaft Bank. It means that they even entered the Berlin Bank.”

“To the Berlin bank notes?”

“Yeah, Berlin’s top-tier powerhouses have gathered. These are the ruling classes that lead the German Empire.”

“therefore?”

“Don’t you know?”

A fast-paced palace.

Big personalities entering the palace one after another.

Imperial Guard.

Moltke pulled like a dog.

giants ignoring him.

I got an answer.

“The Junkers abandoned Moltke.”

Something.

Something was happening.

***

bang-

The door is closed.

In the audience room, Kaiser was already seated in power. Chairman Thyssen and I set our sights and faced Kaiser.

“You’re welcome.”

Kaiser brushed his mustache.

But his trembling hands were convulsing like an alcoholic who had been under extreme stress.

We quickly found out that it was Moltke’s business.

Even the fact that we are called today is related to Moltke.

“I’m sorry.”

“Detroit, I think it was luck that I entrusted you with the German Investment Corporation. I don’t know what would have happened if the German soldiers had been put into the German Investment Corporation.”

“Is that so.”

They’re German soldiers.

I knew that the Berlin Palace maintained absolute power with the overwhelming support of the German Imperial Army, but the owner of the Berlin Palace would personally take down the German military.

Chairman Thyssen also had his eyes sharpened behind his smile.

“Ah, don’t look at me like that. It’s true that the German military was wrong. I was shocked that the German military personnel ate a whopping 40% of Krupp’s dividends in the name of dividends.”

“Four…”

At 4%, I ate a lot.

Krupp’s operations are tight.

Because of its huge size, labor costs and facility costs are doubled.

Even now, with Thyssen Steel’s chicken game running a ‘death race’, Krupp’s operating expenses are almost non-existent.

However, the Berlin Palace is very upset that 40% of such operating expenses or dividends are used as a hoax.

In effect, it was a dividend party in the deficit swamp.

‘But I know that the Berlin Palace has forcibly omitted the dividend…?’

“On such a subject, the dividend of the Berlin Palace was allocated only 10%. Isn’t this proof of how much the Junkers despise the Berlin Palace?”

“Oh, there’s a problem.”

I think your Junkers have lost their minds as the Berlin Palace is blatantly sucking out dividends.

But Kaiser’s words were not over.

“There is a problem. The bigger problem is that the Junkers of the German Imperial Army harmed and ate it evenly.”

Clearly, the fact that the Junkers of the German Imperial Army were harmed evenly is problematic. Otherwise, the Berlin Palace could be an excuse to grab the leash of the German military.

Berlin Palace already has the upper hand, but what will happen if the scale is tilted further.

Even from the perspective of the Berlin Palace, it’s a pain in the ass.

The Junkers were more troublesome than the Berlin Palace.

“That’s a headache.”

“Yeah, I ended up negotiating with the Imperial German Army. And I came up with an answer. Only the person responsible for this case will be hung.”

There was a reason why the Junkers stopped losing Moltke.

If misinterpreted, he could be stamped as a Junker who touched the Imperial Palace, so the responsibility was shifted to Moltke. Responsibility for the 40% dividend was so engulfed by Moltke.

I was dragged to the Berlin Palace like a dog.

“Detroit, I heard Moltke insulted your mother.”

“Well?”

I shook my head.

Wilhelm Kaiser wouldn’t have been there, how could he have known? I quickly ran the calculations in my mind.

“Oh, how you found out is a secret. Just know that the Berlin Palace’s eyes are everywhere. Is that more true?”

“…Yes, I heard that he was raised without a mother.”

“I was insulted.”

Wilhelm Kaiser nodded.

But I had no choice but to work hard to manage my facial expressions. As Wilhelm Kaiser said, it was kind of funny.

‘You also flew the pad lip.’

Edward VII.

He is the maternal uncle of Wilhelm Kaiser, the current King of England. But Wilhelm Kaiser is famous for throwing a padlip at him.

It was kind of funny to hear that someone like that who swears at me like Satan is comforting me.

As I trembled with a frown, Kaiser was silent for a moment, judging that I was drenched in sadness and anger.

Eventually, he turned his gaze towards the guards in the audience.

“Bring it.”

Kaiser snapped his fingers.

Then the door to the auditorium opened with a bang, and Moltke, who had been captured by the Guards, was dragged away.

Moltke, whose hair was scattered, looked at me.

It was a face that looked like it was what you were doing.

I responded with a smile without averting my eyes.

I may have laid the base, but it was as if he still didn’t know that he was the one who made this catastrophe.

“I made a deal with the Junkers of the German Imperial Army. They said I’d do it as one guy. It was that Maltkale who was pointed out as the victim.”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I feel unfair! I paid periodic dividends to the Berlin Palace, and I was managing Krupp to the best of my ability!”

“You’re still talking nonsense like that.”

Kaiser took a heavy wand and approached Moltke. Gradually, he accelerated his steps, and then almost rushed to Moltke and avoided him.

He grabbed a cane.

His right arm was bent back wide.

Whoops-!

“aah!!!”

And with a full swing, he slapped Moltke in the cheek. Moltke shook his head.

One of Moltke’s molars floated in the air.

This surprised me a bit too.

Seeing Kaiser starting to beat Moltke, whom he loved so much, me and Thyssen quietly watched the scene.

“Still, don’t you know what your mistake is?”

Tight! Whoops-! Tight! Tight! Whoa! Tight!

The beatings continued to prolong.

When he batted like a baseball with a stick, Moltke’s face almost collapsed.

When flesh splattered on the staff and blood seeped into it.

Kaiser let out a gasp and stopped beating.

Heh heh… heh heh…

“Detroit. Heo Eok….I have something to ask of the German Investment Corporation and Thyssen Steel. No. Wait a minute.”

Kaiser waved his hand.

The Imperial Guards rushed in and raised the broken Moltke.

“Major Moltke.”

“Uh-huh.”

“I’ll take the epaulettes off.”

Aww-!

It was the moment when the insignia of rank were torn from Moltke’s uniform.

“Call the German Imperial Army Chief of Staff Schlieffen right away and have this bastard dishonorably discharged.”

“Yes.”

“It was cheap enough for the crime of disrupting diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire and retreating the German Empire.”

Wilhelm Kaiser looked around and made eye contact with me.

“Are you feeling a little better? Forgive me. I can’t allow you to hit me yourself. That sheep…if you get hit by an American, the Junkers will rise up.”

“…..Yes.”

It’s air pressure.

I thought with a sullen expression.

It’s nice to have Moltke’s invoice without getting my hands dirty, but that’s not a happy situation.

Kaiser now has something to ask of me and Chairman Thyssen, and before that, he assaulted Moltke in order to subdue the initiative. Even if it seemed emotional to go back to politics, I felt that it was a calculated action one by one.

If it was the Berlin Palace, it was the last king of German politics.

Kaiser wiped the blood from his face with a handkerchief and waved his hands.

“Put it away.”

“Yes!”

after….

Kaiser took off the fleshy and blood-stained leather gloves.

The Imperial Guard dragged Moltke out of the audience room, who had become unconscious due to Kaiser’s assault.

“Detroit Morgan.”

Emperor of Germany.

Wilhelm Kaiser, in a bloody mood, looked at me intently.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“For the time being, I want to entrust the delivery of steel to the Ottoman Empire to Thyssen Steel. Can’t you just negotiate with the Ottoman Empire?”

“Yes?”

Kaiser pulled up the disheveled collar.

“I want to entrust you with the provisional plenipotentiary of the German Empire.”

***

“I will appoint you as the ambassador for interim negotiations with the Ottoman Empire. Well, no one would find it strange to entrust it to the head of the German Investment Corporation. I think you will do well in this task if you have won the first place in German steel.”

“…The backlash from the Prussian cabinet seems to be huge.”

“That’s a doorknob. Nobody wants to take over the Prussian cabinet, so they’re passing it on to each other.”

“It’s a bomb.”

“If it explodes, it’s a bomb that destroys politicians’ lives.”

I twisted my lips.

It’s actually a meat shield.

Of course, if I get it, it’s a different story, but I don’t have the right to leave it like this.

It’s the worst with Ottoman in the first place.

Although it seemed unconventional and generous, in fact, it was a position where duties were more important than authority.

‘Are you giving me that?’

A tendon grew on his forehead.

If you fail, it’s your fault. If you succeed, it’s good.

The only thing that comes back with success is the gaze of the Jealous Junkers.

This wasn’t even a joke.

‘Ha… Did I look easy on me?’

“What is the price?”

“Well?”

“I don’t think you’ll leave it to me empty-handed. I’m a businessman. If it doesn’t make money, I won’t do it.”

“You are daring. Are you not satisfied with just the provisional plenipotentiary?”

I gradually stopped managing my facial expressions.

was lightly colored.

He greeted me with a smile on his face, and the emperor seemed to know nothing about the world.

I leaned towards the table.

“Duty without rights is not a reward. Punishment.”

“Even if Thyssen Steel, which you own, can obtain a monopoly right in Baghdadvan? There are very few cases in which the German government’s business goes to the private sector.”

“Hey, are you kidding me?”

I smirked.

“In Your Majesty’s words, it is well understood that the Baghdadvan business has collapsed. I was anxious since the Krupps monopolized steel at an expensive price, but the Ottoman Empire must have rejected it.”

“Hmm…”

Kaiser showed his discomfort without filtration.

“Then, of course, we will entrust the monopoly to the American steel company? The Ottoman Empire is a patient in Europe, but it is still a loser in the Middle East. It is an empire that the German Empire cannot touch. It is even the core of His Majesty’s 3B policy.”

It is said that the German Empire cannot forcibly rob the Ottoman Empire of its monopoly rights. Even if relations with the German Empire deteriorated, it was nothing to do with the Ottomans.

You can join hands with the UK.

They knew that the German Empire would not let them go.

It was the Ottomans who gained a cause from the German Empire with this incident.

“It’s more profitable for me if I ask for US Steel, but why do I have to negotiate with Osman in clothes that don’t fit as a German plenipotentiary?”

“Okay…”

Kaiser frowned.

Did you really try not to give this bastard?

“Ttt. It’s thorough. It’s even more reliable. I think you can trust it. Of course, there’s a reward.”

Wilhelm Kaiser snapped his fingers.

The door to the audience opened, and a gloomy minister entered with the secretary.

“Treasurer Max. Now he’s leading management as a temporary advisor to Krupp.”

‘Krupp?’

Did the Treasury take Krupp?

After all, since the German military had done so, it was quite natural for the Prussian cabinet to take it.

But I didn’t know it was the Ministry of Finance.

To be honest, I thought it would be taken from the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Post Office.

‘You were conscious of me.’

But I immediately found out why.

I am the chairman of the US Federal Reserve (FED).

In fact, he came from the honorary Ministry of Finance, so he sat down with me. The New York financial district was almost one with the U.S. Treasury Department.

“This is Max.”

“This is Morgan. It’s a first meeting.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard the words of the Detroit Chairman. The Qing Empire’s case is spreading like a heroic story among the upper classes. I’ve been wanting to see Siegfried from America.”

“Siegfried no. It’s overrated.”

With the German emperor in front of you, is that analogy okay? Or maybe he had kissed the German emperor beforehand.

First, we shook hands.

I turned to Kaiser.

“More than that, what reward would you give me by calling the Minister of Finance Max? Is it okay to expect enough to call the Minister of Finance directly?”

“You can expect it. There was a controversy within the Ministry of Finance that it was quite unconventional. So I will answer that part for you.”

Treasury Secretary Marks turned the file over and handed it to me.

“There are a total of two rewards the Detroit Chairman will receive.”

“two?”

“Yes.”

Treasury Secretary Marks raised two fingers.

“The first is the abolition of the German government’s steel tariffs.”

“……!”

It was outrageous from the beginning.

***

that time.

Essensi’s Krupp headquarters.

bang bang.

A slender hand knocked on a familiar door.

“…..Aren’t you here today?”

Berta Krupp bit his lip.

I haven’t opened this door once since I was rejected that day. The door, once firmly closed, was locked with a padlock and never opened.

Berta rolled her feet.

“I can’t…”

Berta Krupp was half-detained in Krupp by the Berlin Palace.

Going out was free as long as the guards were together.

But Berta did not complain. The inside of the Krupp had all been mastered, even the secret passage.

Rather, she was waiting for an opportunity.

“How did I get this opportunity… I can’t give up.”

There wasn’t much time because he had sneaked into Detroit’s official residence.

If you don’t leave Detroit for a set period of time, you have to go back.

“Yeah…you need some bait to catch his attention.”

Berta Krupp bit his lips.

“By the way, I heard that the reason Morgan of Detroit visited this time was because of the purchase of the automobile division…”

automobile division.

Miss Bertha began to roll her head.

“Then… you might need a car company.”

Bertha had a lot of money.

very many

Krupp’s stake was purchased at the Berlin Palace, so the entire amount was in Berta’s account.

“It’s an automobile company…”

Krupp’s little girl.

Berta was familiar with industry and industry. I remember going to my father’s office often, so my understanding of the industry was as clear as any other person involved.

An automobile company came to mind in Berta’s mind.

“Benz. I need to bring a Benz.”

Benz.

If that’s the case, Detroit’s interest could be captured.
