He is Already a Tycoon at a Young Age! - Chapter 107

Episode 107 – Ike and Aiki
“It can’t stay like this.”
The KKK headquarters conference room was filled with silence.
“We need to shut those fucking RCA guys up!”
Secret greetings, methods of recruiting members, and initiation ceremonies.
The RCA talk show even raised suspicions that the KKK was evading taxes while accepting massive donations and membership fees.
[Those who criticized Hitler Company committed tax evasion!]
It’s already been a month since this confusion continued.
The situation became worse when the Hitler Company, which had been under tax investigation, was announced as a model taxpayer.
“The number of new members has decreased significantly. I wonder if this will affect the income of the Kleegles…”
“Now is not the time to worry about that.”
The Grand Dragon opened his mouth and looked at the executives.
“We must prevent any leaks of internal information. The Titans of each branch must be fully prepared for security. Tell the members not to move recklessly.”
“Yes, I will also contact the clan’s newspapers.”
“This is all a Northern Yankee plot. It’s a conspiracy to oppress us Southerners.”
The Grand Dragon said.
“How dedicated our clan members have been to the local community.”
“Now is the time to use your fists!”
A large KKK member shouted.
“Let’s go out into the streets and make an example of those who laugh at us! Just like they did a few years ago!”
The other executives nodded at his words.
“Then won’t the citizens realize that we are true warriors?”
“We need to catch some niggers and hang them!”
Amidst the shouting and commotion, the Grand Dragon raised one hand.
“I understand how you feel, but if you do something like that now, the public’s attacks may become stronger.”
“The Grand Dragon is right! And we must not give the federal government a reason to intervene. Have you all forgotten what happened to the first KKK?”
“We can’t just fight blindly!”
Silence fell again.
Decades earlier, President Grant had sent in federal troops through the KKK Act.
If the South ever sees another incursion, blame will fall on the KKK.
“Then how about just marching in the streets? Make it as grand and sacred as possible! The federal government won’t be able to say anything about that.”
“Right!”
“Let’s ride horses! Just like our fathers did!”
The Grand Dragon also nodded in agreement.
Parades were a common promotional method used by the KKK.
A parade of pure white knights on horseback.
Could there be a spectacle that would capture the public’s attention as much as this?
It will also help with the shaky internal cohesion.
“Then spread the word to the press. Say there’s going to be a Ku Klux Klan march in Kansas City next week.”

Kansas City
“The KKK has announced a march!”
The sudden news threw Kansas City residents into confusion.
[Curse the evil spirit]
[The terrible tomb and the bloody moon have arrived. All the evil that has been hanging on to me until today will disappear tomorrow.]
[The warriors who signed below will gather in Kansas and drive out evil]
[When the rope is stretched, the enemies scatter in confusion]
[Send a warning letter to the authorities]
[signature]
[Other members of the clan besides the Grand Dragon and Grand Cyclops]
Some blacks and Asians left the city or acquired guns and kept them in their homes.
“They’re coming!”
“Step over my dead body and go!”
Meanwhile, in the theater, the opposite atmosphere unfolded: the new Mickey Mouse movie was a huge hit.
[Special Mission: Mickey Mouse! Save the little ghost, Kusper!]
The content of the animation was simple.
The story of Coosper, a young ghost who was bullied by his family, becoming independent with the help of Mickey Mouse.
The cute and adorable Kusper became very popular as soon as he appeared.
But it wasn’t just the characters that caught the audience’s attention.
“Hey, I can really hear it!?”
“Isn’t there someone talking behind your back?”
[The Little Ghost, Coosper] was the first animated sound film.
Every time Mickey Mouse jumped, a cheerful sound was heard, and when he played an instrument, real music flowed out.
“There’s a bit of noise mixed in… but is this really making any sound?”
A movie with sound!
As word of mouth spread, more and more people flocked to the cinema.
The same goes for the Mickey Mouse Club.
As the number of fans trying to join surged, some branches reintroduced waiting lists.
Two days before the KKK march.
The Mickey Mouse and Rocketman Club held a meeting.
“Then how about we dress up like Kusper and march in the streets?”
“That sounds fun. But would your parents allow it?”
“You can just make the clothes secretly.”
Most of the Mickey Mouse fan club members are elementary and middle school students.
Rocketman had more high school and college students and young adults.
“I don’t think my father would say anything. He’s a Republican.”
“Not all Democrats support the KKK. My family likes Rocket Man too.”
“Then how about we wear Crusader Knight costumes?”
“What if I get whipped?”
“With the police here, even the KKK members can’t act recklessly. And we’re white.”
“I just recently bought a new lightsaber…”
As Hitler’s Dark Lord armor attracted media attention, the Rocket Man costume quickly became a hit among fans.
There are even specialized businesses selling clothes and accessories.
“Come to think of it, aren’t most Crusader costumes white? That would suit them well.”
“How many sets of knights’ clothing do we have in our branch?”
“If I contact other branches, I should be able to receive it by tomorrow, right?”
After two days like that.
KKK members entering Kansas City were forced to stop.
“What the heck is that…”
Children in white uniforms were already marching.
“As a member of the Crusader Knights, I solemnly swear! I will illuminate the darkness with the light of truth, punish evil with the sword of justice, and protect the weak with the shield of freedom!”
The young men wielding lightsabers shouted.
“Until the day when all sentient beings in the universe are free! Crusader Knights, advance!”
Next to them, children wearing white sheets were following along, singing the Mickey Mouse song.
The numbers were not large compared to the KKK members.
At most, a few dozen people.
But all the citizens came out onto the streets and applauded and cheered.
Even the parade had an open atmosphere.
Not only white people but also black people joined in the excitement, laughing out loud.
“Captain, what should we do? Should we just go in like this?”
“What the heck…Everyone be quiet!”
The KKK members looked at each other.
Children marching in pure white costumes.
“Are you kidding us?”
“How about coming back at night?”
“If we go back now, it will look like we’re running away.”
“Then what do you want us to do?!”
When they marched, didn’t all the niggers hide in the buildings and watch them?
The KKK members felt superior as they watched the men tremble in fear.
Now it was just the opposite.
You can’t swing a whip at white kids in front of the press.
“Keep moving forward! What are you all doing?! Hurry up and move forward! Get out of the way, you little ones!”
As the KKK members entered the streets, they were now following the children.
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight.
“Hey, look over there! Is that someone from the Mickey Mouse fan club?”
“What are you doing if you don’t take the picture quickly?”
Newspaper reporters wearing top hats pulled down low also took pictures with smiles.
All the KKK members were flustered and confused.
Those at the rear managed to sneak away.
As the members became more embarrassed, the laughter of the citizens grew louder.
“Look over there! A Coosper is running away!”

New York
Hitler Company
“What happened in Kansas City?”
“Ji, come and see for yourself. Alf, you wouldn’t believe it either, right?”
I looked at the front page of the newspaper.
Cosplayed youths marching in front of the KKK, wielding lightsabers.
“It looks like someone photoshopped it. Does this make sense?”
“Huh, a composite?”
“It’s nothing. It just doesn’t suit you.”
If people in the 21st century saw this, they would have definitely said it was a composite.
Ghost Coosper, Crusader Knight fans and KKK members.
Could there be a more mismatched combination?
“The kids in Kansas organized this march themselves?”
“Well, the Kansas fan club provided some clothes, but the kids planned the parade themselves. Oh, I didn’t know that until I read the paper today.”
“This is basically the end for the KKK.”
“Oh, it’s over?”
“Half of America is probably looking at this photo right now. What do you think?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. This was a completely unexpected situation.
From young ghosts to Coosper and even Rocketman.
If you think about it, there were quite a few outfits that were similar to the KKK.
Can you survive being treated like cartoon characters?
The white knight.
Gentlemen of the South.
This image is already virtually shattered.
“Nobody is going to take the KKK seriously anymore. Will other politicians come out as Klan members? If they do, they’ll be laughed at too.”
If I had just stayed still, I would have maintained my position. I ended up digging my own grave by responding clumsily.
‘It doesn’t seem like the kids are up for racial harmony and equality…’
Maybe it was just for fun.
That is the most powerful weapon.
Just fun.
If this atmosphere continues for a few more months, no one will take the KKK seriously.
‘But we can’t rest easy yet.’
There must be extremists within the KKK as well.
If they become the butt of jokes like this, they are more likely to try to prove their power in some way.
So-called terrorism, fear.
“I need to ask them to increase their security force. Contact Burns Detective Agency and tell them to reduce their other duties and focus more on protecting important people.”
“Oh, okay. Do you think the KKK is going to take action?”
“I don’t think the KKK leadership would give such an order. If you attack me, the federal government will take action.”
The leadership has made a lot of money from membership fees so far, and they probably don’t want to blow it.
“But the members at the bottom of the pyramid are prone to extremism. There’s no harm in preparing in advance.”
I fiddled with the Luger pistol in my bosom, the gun I had received from Hess.
‘I guess I should practice shooting more consistently.’
Gun laws in the United States are something you always have to be careful about.
There was a truckload of people who were assassinated, including President Lincoln and President Kennedy.
“It’s unlikely that they’ll target me directly. It’d be too risky.”
“I, I think so too. There are a lot of colored people around Hitler Company.”
Richter nodded.
“Huh, there are a lot of black musicians on the black radio station. If it’s the KKK, wouldn’t they target that area more? I’ll tell them to be more careful than usual.”
“Please. Keep reporting to me on a daily basis. Tell Hoover to pay attention to it. If necessary, I don’t mind adding more manpower.”
After answering like that, I looked at the front page of the newspaper again. It was adult ghosts following little ghosts.
“The more I watch it, the more it seems like a comedy.”

Washington
War Department Training Department
“We are all ready to depart, Colonel.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Major.”
Two men in military uniforms were talking as dozens of trucks waited in front of them.
“Are you really planning on participating in this training? I’ll give you a vacation right now…”
“No, Colonel. This is the training I prepared, so I will take full responsibility for it until the end.”
The major shook his head.
A face that looks like it’s in its early 30s.
She had dark circles under her eyes, as if she was tired.
“…Wouldn’t Aikido want to see his father?”
An awkward silence followed, and the major opened his mouth.
“To be honest, I can’t stand to see that child. My son is dying and there’s nothing I can do about it…”
“How did the clinical trial lottery go?”
“I failed again this time. The doctor said I wouldn’t be able to last three months without the new drug.”
“You’re talking about a medicine made from mold.”
The colonel sighed.
“I’ll find out what I can do. If you change your mind during this training, just tell me. I’ll give you a vacation right away.”
“Thank you, Colonel.”
The major sighed and raised his head. The flag with the unit’s name on it fluttered in the wind.
