On March 17, 1929, at Downing Street No. 10 in London, the famous residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
At this moment, Prime Minister Baldwin's expression was grave as he sat surrounded by senior members of the British Cabinet.
"Gentlemen, let's discuss, how should we handle the situation in the United States?" Prime Minister Baldwin began, his voice reflecting the weight of the issue.
The 'handling' he referred to was not about partitioning American territory but rather managing the recent chaos that had erupted in New York.
Indeed, New York had descended into chaos once again.
With a population exceeding 12 million, New York's population was second only to London, regarded by the Powers as the world's second largest urban city.
To have New York under British control seemed a great advantage, but those who understood the situation in the United States knew that the British had also inherited a huge problem.
