Empire in Progress

Chapter 118: Jewish Business Group (2)

Thinking of this, Lin Wei added more information and said, "Father, with the character of the head of state, when he learns that we cannot attack the Jews, he will definitely use the power of the government to help us."

"Okay, Lampard, this matter has never been done by the government?" Gustave said in surprise.

Gustav's words made Lin Wei happy. What age is this? Why is his father still doing medieval knight fighting? However, due to his father's authority, he still explained, "Father, the Jewish business group is too powerful. They have power throughout Europe. Although we have an advantage in the German capital market, father, you have How sure are you of winning against them?"

Gustav remained silent because he understood the terror of the Jews better than Lin Wei. As early as the Middle Ages, business in Europe at that time was considered a job for inferior people. Judas, who betrayed Jesus in the Bible, was a Jew, so of course he was discriminated against. The Jews could only rely on business to ensure their status. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Jews and profiteers mean the same thing. However, although the Jews had a low social status, they were indeed good at doing business. They got rid of the ignorance of the Middle Ages. Everyone suddenly discovered that the Jews gradually got rid of everyone's prejudices in Europe by relying on money, and even controlled the economies of several countries. However, people with real ambitions will not let their country's economy be controlled by them, so the wave of worries on the European continent has never subsided.

The Jewish business group is like a mountain pressing down on the American consortium and the Juncker consortium. Regardless of whether it is the American consortium or the Juncker consortium, their important figures no longer dream about the mountain they have pushed onto them. In the second half of the 19th century, Germany was almost successful. When Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, used Jewish capital to enter the United States in a large scale, he used the French reparations from the Franco-Prussian War to quickly establish the four major German banking groups and the Juncker Consortium. Almost drove the Jewish forces in the country out of Germany at that time.

However, with the final defeat of Germany in World War I, the German Junkers suddenly discovered that the opponent they thought they had defeated was back again. And they were stronger than before. They suffered heavy losses in World War I and were unable to resist the Jewish offensive. They had no choice but to once again surrender the initiative in the German financial capital market. Until now, they have tried every means to expel the influence of the Jewish business groups, but the Jews still firmly control one-third of the transaction volume in the German capital market.

The past events caused Gustav to fall into a brief silence. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that if the Juncker landlords and the Jews simply had a fair competition in the capital market, even in Germany, the Junker landlords would There is no guarantee of victory.

Seeing that Gustav was slightly moved, Lin Wei said, "Father, although Hitler has always distrusted us Juncker landlords, if he knows what the Jews have done this time, he will definitely use the country to His power caused the Jews to lose all their money.”

"Okay, Lampard." Lin Wei could tell that Gustav had been persuaded. Now Gustav seemed to have returned to the image he had when he was a child in Lin Wei's heart, serious and passionate. When he saw Gustav Taft said openly, "Now that the Jews have come in, there is no reason for us to be afraid of them locally. It seems that I have to contact a few old guys."

Of course, Lin Wei knew who the old guys Gustav mentioned were. There were only three places with the strongest capital in Germany. One was East Prussia, the birthplace of the Junker landlords, and Berlin, the capital of the German Empire. The last stronghold was the Junker landowners and capitalists in the Ruhr area. If we talk about military and political affairs, there is no doubt that the big families of East Prussia and the Junkers of Berlin are more powerful, but if we talk about who has strong enough capital, the first one is the capitalists of the Ruhr area.

There are only two people in the Ruhr who are close to Gustav. It is Emil Koudolf, who is known as the coal king in Germany, and the other one is Fritz Thyssen, the steel trust.

Although these two people have not often appeared on the stage in recent years, Lin Wei does not dare to underestimate their energy. As long as the three of them make a decision in the Ruhr area, there is basically nothing to worry about.

Frankfurt am Main is an important industrial, commercial, financial and transportation center in Germany and the largest city in Hesse. It is located on both sides of the lower reaches of the Main River, a tributary of the Rhine River in the middle. The population is approximately 660,000. From the 14th to the 18th century, it was the place where German emperors were elected and coronated.

Frankfurt was first recorded in history as the seat of Charlemagne in 794 AD. Since then, Frankfurt has been an important political stage in Germany and has witnessed many major events and celebrations. During the Holy Roman Empire, the emperor was elected by the powerful princes, the electors. In 1152, the electors met for the first time in Frankfurt and elected Barbarossa, Redbeard I, as emperor. In 1356, Karl IV issued the Golden Bull Edict, which officially stipulated that the election of the emperor would be held in Frankfurt. Since 1562, Frankfurt has replaced Aachen as the venue for the emperor's coronation ceremony. 10 emperors were crowned here and ascended to the emperor's throne. The Holy Roman Empire officially ended in 1806, and from 1816 to 1866, Frankfurt became the seat of the German Confederation Parliament. In the revolutionary storm sweeping across the European continent in 1848, the German states formed the German National Assembly and held a meeting in Frankfurt to discuss the issue of German unification, which was a prelude to German unification.

Amslow & Rothschild gazed from the windowsill of Villa Burg in Frankfurt, a city with a history of thousands of years. Amslow & Rothschild already knew that Hitler rejected Jews. However, with centuries of strong capital, Amslow & Rothschild firmly believed that even this madman would not dare to touch Rothschild. A hair on the back of the German family.

However, with the discrimination against the Jews in Germany and the rampant Germanism in Germany, Amslow and Rothschild could not sit still. If all the Jews fled from Germany, then the Rothschild family in Frankfurt would lose two hundred years. The headquarters we came to will also be abandoned.

Although Amslow & Rothschild's status in Germany is far less than that of its brothers in the UK, the headquarters of the Rothschild family is from here after all. From here, the Rothschild family has soared into the sky. Slow & Rothschild would never allow the exclusion of Jews to happen under their noses. He firmly believes that in the capital market, no one is the opponent of the Rothschilds, not even the Juncker landowners, who are famous for their short-sightedness and barbarism, and the cunning profit-seeking American conglomerates. Amslow & Rothschild are definitely not afraid of them.

As Germany's anti-concern wave began, more and more countries gradually began to discriminate against Jews. Amslow & Rothschild knew they had to kill this thing before it broke out. Therefore, it is necessary to let the Germans know how powerful the Jews are. Simply speaking, Jewish businessmen all over Europe also saw this, so capital flows from all over Europe continued to enter Germany. Of course, such a huge capital flow could not be hidden from the eyes of the German Juncker landowners, but Amslow & Rothschild did not care. In his heart, he also wanted to scare these short-sighted Juncker landowners through the huge capital flow.

In Essen, Gustav felt that the situation was serious. He found old friends, Thyssen and Kodolf, who had not seen each other for several years. When they learned about the arrival of their old friends Gustav, Thyssen immediately guessed that it was for the recent German war. Abnormalities in financial markets come.

After Gustav explained the seriousness of the situation, Thyssen and Kodolf immediately knew that the Jews were coming with bad intentions this time.

Looking at Gustav who was already confident, the old-fashioned Thyssen smiled and said, "Okay, Gustav, you must have already figured out a way, right? Just tell me, don't make us two old people anxious."

Thyssen's ridicule made Gustav feel slightly embarrassed, and he smiled and said, "What else can we do? Of course we are prepared to fight head-on. Can you just sit back and watch the Jews disrupt the German financial market?"

The short meeting allowed several of the most powerful Junckers in the Ruhr area to form an alliance again, and then the news spread throughout Germany. Every big family that got on the stage knew that the powerful Jewish force wanted to use them again. The powerful strength is causing trouble in Germany.

No matter how we usually dislike each other, at this time we must unite and deal with the outside world. After all, the German Junkers have a profound understanding of the horror of the Jews. If Bismarck had not used the French reparations from the Franco-Prussian War to quickly establish the four major German banking groups, coupled with the capital of the Juncker landowners, he could have barely regained the dominance of the German financial market from the hands of the Jews. If the Jews make a comeback this time and succeed, even the Junker landowners, who are known for their short-sighted barbarism, dare not imagine the consequences.

Lin Wei, who returned to Berlin, came to the Prime Minister's Office with ease. Lin Wei was familiar with this building. Now Lin Wei comes here more often than he goes home every day. Lin Wei went directly into Hitler's office without any communication.

"It seems that the financial situation is good this quarter. Dr. Schacht, I wonder if we can increase expenditure. Our big navy plan requires money." After Lin Wei came in, he saw Hitler and Yan Yuese and Finance Minister Schacht. From the conversation, it was obvious that Hitler was in a pretty good mood at this time. In just a few years since he came to power, he had annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia. Although his plans in mind were far more than that, he could take a break for the time being.

Seeing that he couldn't get a word in their conversation, Lin Wei sat down on the sofa aside without being polite. Wait for their conversation to end.

"Führer, if you just want to allocate funds for the navy, of course there is no problem," Schacht said with a smile.

Hitler took a sip of tea and smiled and said, "Dr. Schacht, I thought it would take a lot of time to convince you, but I didn't expect that I agreed so quickly this time."

"Head of State, this is mainly due to the good industrial foundation of Austria and Czechoslovakia. If nothing happens, I will go back to the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds first," Schacht replied.

"Okay, Dr. Schacht, you should go back to the Ministry of Finance first." Hitler looked at a piece of information on the table attentively and muttered to himself, "It's really strange. It seems that the domestic capital market has been a lot more active during this period."

Seeing that Schacht was gone, Lin Wei raised his hand and saluted "Hi, Hitler"

When Hitler saw it was Lin Wei, he waved his hand, "Lampard, what do you want to see me for?"

Lin Wei stared straight at the documents in Hitler's hand. Hitler would definitely think that he was a spy sent by a foreign country, but it was obvious that Lin Wei was not. After a long while, Lin Wei withdrew his gaze and said, "Head of State, you were almost confused about the activity of the domestic capital market just now."

Hitler did not deny it, saying, "Yes, the domestic capital market is indeed a little unusual recently. Although I don't know what's going on, the prosperity of the market is always a good thing."

Good thing? This thing can't get any worse. Only someone like Hitler who didn't understand the operation of the market at all might think it was a good thing. Lin Wei's face turned a little ugly and said, "Führer, I'm officially looking for you because of this matter. As far as I know, the capital entering Germany during this period has Jews. shadow".

"What? What do these despicable Jews want to do? Do they want to be a stumbling block when Germany rises? I will definitely hang them." Sure enough, as Lin Wei expected, when he mentioned the Jews in front of Hitler , Hitler immediately became furious, and all kinds of obscene words rolled out of his mouth. Lin Wei was stunned.

"Führer, I have to say, these Jewish profiteers have gone too far," Lin Wei also said angrily. But then Lin Wei changed his tone, "It is said that in this operation, because the status of German Jews cannot be guaranteed, Jewish businessmen from all over Europe have to teach us a lesson." Lin Wei directed the fire at the Jewish businessmen, because Lin Wei was also afraid that Hitler would go crazy and arrest all the Jews. Lin Wei could not bear this crime.

After getting angry, Hitler's eyes were very scary and he shouted, "Lampard, what do you do with your Gestapo? It's so easy to find out such important news."

This sentence really made Lin Wei feel extremely wronged. The Gestapo is not omnipotent, so it may cover everything. Lin Wei also got the news from his family. As for why the family got the news first, we have to ask why it is always the underworld who gets the news first when there is a fatality.

Seeing that Lin Wei remained silent, Hitler said, "Lampard, I will now catch all the Jewish profiteers who are trying to disrupt the order of Germany. Remember, I want them all."

"No, head of state, I beg you not to do this," Lin Wei said firmly, lowering his head.

"Why?" Even if he asked rhetorically, Hitler's tone was still so aggressive.

"Führer, in the capital market, we have never completely defeated the Jews," Lin Wei said in a heavy tone.

Hitler frowned, but finally said nothing. Although Hitler spoke wild words, he never told lies that could be seen through at a glance. Seeing that Lin Wei's heaviness didn't seem to be fake, Hitler knew very well about Lin Wei's background. After ascending to the throne of the head of state, Hitler gradually learned about Germany's domestic economic structure.

In recent years, these Junkers in Germany have launched several attacks on Jewish business forces within Germany. Jews still firmly control 30% of the domestic capital market. As the heir to a large family, Hitler also knew that Lin Wei's psychology was not easy.

Seeing that Hitler finally did not interrupt him, Lin Wei said resolutely, "Führer, I hope that we, the Junkers, will resolve this battle in the capital market. Even if we lose everything we fight with the Jews, we will never do it." Back off”.

Taking a deep breath, Hitler said with a cold face, "Lampard, are you sure? After all, Jewish businessmen control most of the European economy. Even if you face them at home, you may not be able to win." After a pause, Hitler said "How about I issue an order to restrict foreign funds from entering Germany."

"Führer, there is no need to do this," Lin Wei retorted, "Although the Jews are powerful, it is not that easy to defeat us. If we fail, even if we fail then, the Jews will surely suffer heavy losses. Even a light straw can crush them to death, so the power of the state is needed at this time."

"Okay, Lampard, I believe in you. Since I saw you in Munich, you have been creating miracles. I hope you can maintain your luck," Hitler praised.

In the Burg Villa in Frankfurt, Amslow and Rothschild were in a very good mood. Although they had enough confidence to defeat the stubborn and conservative Junker landlords in Germany, if they won, it would definitely be a tragic victory. But now there is no such concern. Although the current patriarch of the British branch family, Douglas & Rothschild, cannot fully support it, he has offered to help contact Jewish businessmen in the United States to implement this plan. And personally handed over 100 million pounds to himself.

Although the Rothschild family is still headquartered in Frankfurt, the most famous and powerful branch is indeed the British branch. This was due to the ancestors of the British branch, Nathan Rothschild. Nathan was the third son of the old Rothschild, the founder of the Red Shield family. By 1815, he had become London's leading banking oligarch.

The Battle of Waterloo, which took place on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium on June 18, 1815, was not only a life-and-death duel between the two armies of Napoleon and Wellington, but also a huge gamble for thousands of investors. The winner would receive unprecedented wealth. The losers will suffer heavy losses. While the two armies meeting each other were engaged in a desperate battle, Rothschild's spies were also nervously collecting as accurate as possible the progress of various battle situations from within the two armies.

Nathan personally waited on the shore, took the letter from Rose Woods, quickly opened the envelope, read the title of the battle report, and then rode straight to the London Stock Exchange. When Nathan walked quickly into the stock exchange, the anxious and excited crowd who were waiting for the battle report immediately fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Nathan's expressionless and inscrutable face. Everyone pinned their wealth, honor and disgrace on Nathan's eyes. Nathan deliberately gave a deep look to the traders of the Rothschild family around him, and everyone immediately rushed to the trading desk without saying a word and began to sell British government bonds. Then the price of government bonds began to decline, and then the selling became more intense like a tidal wave, and the price of government bonds began to collapse. At this time, Nathan ordered his subordinates to purchase every public bond they could see.

At 11 o'clock in the evening on June 21, Lord Wellington's messenger Henry Pere finally arrived in London. The news was that Napoleon's army was completely defeated after eight hours of hard battle, losing one-third of his soldiers, and France was finished!

This news was actually a whole day later than Nathan’s information! On this day, Nathan made 20 times the money, which was more than the combined wealth of Napoleon and Wellington in decades of war!

Even Amslow & Rothschild, who had never been interested in the British family, had to admit that Nathan & Rothschild did a great job.

If this operation is successful, maybe he will earn more money than Nathan Rothschild. Thinking of this, Amslow Rothschild couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

Thinking of this, Amslow & Rothschild couldn't help but start thinking about their own plan. Amslow & Rothschild's plan was very simple, which was to buy and sell short. Buying and selling short was nothing more than stocks, public bonds, foreign currencies, and gold. , but Amslow & Rothschild did not start from here, because he saw the weakness of Germany. Germany rose in just a few years, and the speed was not bad. So seriously at Amslow & Rothschild, the foundation of this edifice is not solid at all.

Where will Amslow & Rothschild's prepared punch hit? No one knows that Amslow & Rothschild is interested in the two most common things, steel and coal. .
