Episode 346: Come to the Battlefield I Created
Hahahaha.
John Harley and Glag Case leave, shaking uncontrollably.
David Sassoon burst into laughter at the sight of them.
I couldn’t feel better.
What is this?
Should I say it’s the satisfaction you feel when something you’ve only imagined for so long actually happens? Or should I say it’s the sense of accomplishment from victory?
Anyway, it was an exhilarating joy I had never felt in my life.
My tongue clicked as I imagined the end of that bastard named John Harley.
‘That young man was being rude and talking badly. It’s true that if you have a bad personality, your later years won’t be good.’
He turned his head and smirked at Bill Brown.
‘There are exceptions, though.’
“Bill Brown, from what I heard you say earlier, it sounds like you’re trying to dominate the reinsurance market, not the city market. Is that right?”
“I guess so.”
“Hahaha, but did America really give up the sea?”
“It is true that an agreement has been reached.”
“The sea… … .”
David Sassoon twitched his cheeks, wanting to laugh again at Bill’s words.
‘That’s possible.’
They say they’re bringing the seas under American control.
The sea controlled by the U.S. Navy, which led to victory in World Wars I and II by destroying the Spanish Armada in 1898.
It was a sea that had been occupied by destroying the imperialist navies of Britain, Spain, Germany, Russia, and Japan.
And since then, no one has seen the sea.
‘They say that out of the $200 billion in operating funds per year, the interest on the principal invested so far amounts to $100 billion.’
In terms of money alone, it is unimaginable that anyone could ever take over America’s oceans.
It’s like throwing the annual budget of a developed country into the ocean every year. Is that even possible?
Money doesn’t fall from the sky.
So the dollar was granted the status of a reserve currency, and by printing dollars without limit, it was possible to maintain stability in the seas and in trade.
Until America’s debt becomes unsustainable.
‘Is that it now?’
The fact that America lent the ocean to Bill Brown meant that America’s debt had reached an unsustainable limit.
And this would mean that the dollar has ceded some of its reserve currency status to Bitcoin.
but.
“America could change its words at any time. Are you prepared?”
“I’ve been preparing for it for a long time.”
“Really? Did you expect this to happen?”
“Because history repeats itself.”
“Uh-huh… … .”
“Hahaha, it’s not like I meant it that seriously.”
“But I don’t think they’ll just sit back and take it.”
“I guess so. They’re definitely going to try to shake up Biden. They might use the media, or they might try to use the Republican Party to attack Biden.”
“Oh, if this fact gets to Trump, it will be very disadvantageous for us.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s to our advantage in its own way.”
David Sassoon looked at Bill with a curious look as he smiled broadly.
‘What a curious person. He always sets the board on both sides.’
***
Office of the City Policy Committee.
“That can’t be true.”
Glac Case asked John Harley, questioning him.
“That could be true.”
Harley also fought back.
Case was so dumbfounded that he opened his mouth halfway and twitched one eye.
“Ha~ Bill rules the sea? America sold the sea? Are you asking me to believe that?”
“So, it’s something you just have to find out.”
“how.”
“Why don’t you just ask the person who sold it?”
“So who is that? Are you going to ask Biden? Can we meet him?”
Tsk tsk tsk.
The case where Harley, who was clicking his tongue, kept running towards me looked very displeased.
“Is there any reason why we can’t meet? After all, the American President is human too.”
ha ha ha.
Case smiled with a dumbfounded expression.
“You really are talking without any plan.”
“Look, Case. The United States is in the midst of a full-blown presidential race right now. They’re doing whatever it takes to grab power. Maybe Bill’s story about buying the ocean was just a lie, because he wanted to borrow Bill’s power for a while for the presidential election.”
“untruth?”
“They say it’s a presidential election promise. A promise made by politicians. That’s all there is to it.”
“Okay, let’s say that’s true, then tell me how we’re going to meet.”
Harley stroked his moustache and narrowed his eyes.
“There’s Cheon Byeong-min.”
“what?”
Ugh.
Case gritted his teeth and bared them at Harley.
“Are you talking about the guy who took 20 billion dollars from us and then turned a blind eye to it?”
“well.”
Harley raised one corner of his mouth.
“You shouldn’t think like that. I think Cheon Byeong-min was confident that we could beat Bill Brown.”
“Ha~ That’s not even funny. So what? Are you going to go see him?”
“Of course I should go.”
“really?”
“If you tell Cheon Byung-min that America sold the sea to Bill Brown, he will find out the truth. He has Franklin Templeton, who is deeply entrenched in American politics, by his side.”
“Well, Franklin Templeton… … then the story might be a little different.”
“yes.”
“But will you meet me?”
“Huh? Case, you’re the policy director of the City? In some ways, you’re treated better than the British Prime Minister. And there’s a governor in the City, Franklin Templeton. I think you can meet him through him.”
“Well, yeah.”
“We can’t just sit back and do nothing. We have to get $1 trillion. So let’s get the guys who were attached to HSBC out of the city.”
At Harley’s words, Case clenched his fist.
“Yeah, we haven’t always had easy money. Let’s go meet Cheon Byeong-min.”
***
New York. The Silver Hill Hospital.
A mental hospital located about an hour from downtown New York.
In the middle of a huge park stood a building that looked more like a private home than a hospital.
And in the beautifully decorated garden, patients were taking a walk under the care of nurses.
Cheon Byeong-min was looking at the hospital garden from the limousine.
Cheon Byeong-min, whose gaze is fixed on one woman in particular.
‘That’s Jaehee.’
After arriving in the United States, I searched through New York’s mental hospitals to find Kim Jae-hee.
Naturally, it was not unexpected that it would be the most expensive hospital near Wall Street.
Cheon Byeong-min clicked his tongue as he watched Kim Jae-hee blankly staring at the sky.
‘What on earth would Dohyuk think when he saw Jaehee like that?’
Huh, for a moment I felt a sense of emptiness.
What can I do now that I understand Cheon Do-hyeok’s feelings?
The water is already spilled and cannot be picked up again.
“egg plant.”
Cheon Byeong-min started the car.
Stevenson questioned Cheon Byeong-min’s actions so far.
“Is that woman from earlier Bill Brown’s biological mother?”
“That’s right. It’s not your old face, but I can tell. You’ve aged a lot.”
“It looks like there’s a lot going on.”
“Yes. Should I say that this is the beginning of a long, long revenge that can never be reversed? Anyway, yes.”
“The rumors are true.”
Haha.
Cheon Byeong-min raised the corners of his lips and patted Stevenson on the shoulder.
“Just pretend you don’t know. If something bad happens to us later, you take good care of Jaehee.”
“What do you mean, something bad?”
“If only. If only.”
“What if?”
“Okay. By the way, how’s Lloyd’s Insurance going?”
Stevenson was about to say something, but Cheon Do-jun opened his mouth first.
“About a dozen ships passing through the Red Sea have been seized by Somali pirates and ransom negotiations are underway,” the statement said.
“Then it means that reinsurance has been triggered in the Lloyd’s insurance market.”
“Yes, that’s right. I don’t know the details, but I understand that the ransom is significant.”
“Really? Is the match already decided?”
Hmm, hmm.
This time, Stevenson coughed and joined the conversation.
“I have already applied for an interview with our UK branch.”
“Interview?”
“It was a message that I hoped to meet the Chairman just once.”
“okay?”
Tsk tsk tsk.
Cheon Byeong-min clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“You idiots. You were given bullets in your hands, but you couldn’t even fire a single shot before you got killed by Dohyuk? Why do those guys want to meet me? Just die quietly.”
Cheon Do-jun took out a photo and held it out.
“This is David Sassoon. He is in contact with Cheon Do-hyeok.”
“Huh? Are you saying that this guy joined hands with Dohyuk?”
“yes.”
“Who is it?”
Cheon Byeong-min’s gaze turned to Stevenson.
Hmm~
Stevenson furrowed his brow as he let out a long snort.
And then slowly opened his mouth.
“The Sassoon family once dominated the Chinese economy.”
“When? I’ve never heard of it before.”
“It was a long time ago. He was the one who started the Opium War. It is said that the exact amount of money he made at that time is still unknown. Rumor has it that it was more than ten times that of the Rothschild family. However, he transferred a considerable amount of his assets to India and China, withdrew from all business, and disappeared.”
“Really? That seems like too much money to give up. Did you receive some kind of revelation from heaven? Anyway, this guy is said to have taken care of Lloyd’s bastards together with Dohyuk.”
“Shouldn’t we consider it over? We don’t have to meet.”
hmm.
Cheon Byeong-min nodded his head from side to side and then chuckled.
“No, I have to meet you.”
“Do you plan to help them?”
“Haha, that can’t be. There must be a place that needs them. We should sell them.”
“Then I will bring you as soon as I arrive.”
Cheon Byeong-min nodded silently, still smiling.
‘This time again, Dohyuk has taken over the Lloyd’s insurance market.’
Lloyd’s Insurance Market will lead to the city.
This is nothing more than simply including one financial city in its domain.
Isn’t this a stepping stone to reach out to Europe, following India, South America, Africa, and the Middle East?
‘Europe is not on good terms with Trump right now.’
Trump has used the current Russian-Ukrainian war as an opportunity to pledge to shift the burden of defense spending to NATO.
As Russia acted as if it was eyeing Poland after Ukraine, Trump, seeing this as an opportunity, began talking day after day about Europe’s responsibility.
Europe, not to be outdone, also responded by calling Trump’s words and actions dangerous and a threat to world peace.
As the US presidential election approached, Biden’s America, which had previously called itself the world’s policeman, and Trump’s America, which had been isolationist and only cared about the US prospering, continued to be in a state of standoff with no common ground.
‘This is what you were aiming for, Dohyuk, but I won’t go into the trap you set. Come to the battlefield I created.’
Heheheehe.
Cheon Byeong-min, who was laughing while revealing his teeth, thought of something and said to Stevenson.
ah!
“Stevenson, Lloyd, those guys.”
“yes.”
“Tell him to come to Texas, not California. Let’s talk there.”
“Texas?”
“Yeah, Biden and Trump are coming this time. Let’s all come together and see what’s going on in the Texas we created.”
Hohohohoho.
Cheon Byeong-min kept shrugging his shoulders as if he was enjoying something.
