Chapter 554: The East-Jewish Controversy Behind the Scenes

Morgwill didn't have time to listen to these compliments. He had a lot of things to do. After all, Grusegen City was a new district and had too many problems to solve.

After two months of preparations, the East African Navy finally prepared supplies and prepared to sail to the Southern Ryukyu Islands.

"Father-in-law, why do you want to go to sea by yourself this time? You have a lot of people now. There is no need to do everything by yourself. The sea is dangerous. What if you have something wrong? I can't explain it to Karina. !”

"That's right, father, listen to Ernst and stay, right? You are the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, so you should stay in the mainland. The Southern Ryukyu Islands are not an important place. There is no need for you to go there in person, and I Mom and I hope you are safe and well." Karina said coquettishly.

"Uh... I saw that Ernst paid special attention to the Southern Ryukyu Islands, so I decided to go there for him personally."

As soon as Archduke Ferdinand finished speaking, Karina gave her husband a "vicious" look and it was all your fault!

Ernst quickly shirks his responsibility and says: "Father-in-law, you can't accuse me wrongly. Who said I attach great importance to the Southern Ryukyu Islands? This archipelago is just the icing on the cake for me. It's not necessary. I won't feel bad even if it's gone tomorrow." .”

Ferdinand glanced at Ernst suspiciously and said: "You don't pay attention, why are you preparing so many supplies, and a few heavy cannons, just to use them on a few worthless islands? Mayotte (Comoros) One of the islands in the archipelago, a territory in East Africa) didn’t receive this treatment at the beginning, right?”

Ernst: "Hey, just because of this, you judge that I value the Southern Ryukyu Islands?"

"Isn't it true? The weapons and supplies you prepared are obviously intended to hold on to the Southern Ryukyu Islands for a long time, and the equipment is of a very high level. Even Lanfang Overseas Province does not have this treatment." Ferdinand asked in return.

"Father-in-law, this is actually a misunderstanding. The reason why I prepared so many things for the Southern Ryukyu Islands actually has nothing to do with whether the Southern Ryukyu Islands are important or not. Turning the Southern Ryukyu Islands into a Pacific base for East Africa is completely incidental. .”

Ferdinand looked unbelieving. Who are you deceiving? Whether Ernst attaches great importance to it depends on actual actions. Even if Ernst really does not attach great importance to it, the Far Eastern Empire and Japan, which have ideas about the Southern Ryukyu Islands, must think that Ernst attaches great importance to it. This is a warship and a garrison. They do not attach importance to it. , who are you fooling!

"Hey, father-in-law, don't look like this. I'm really not fooling you. The Southern Ryukyu Islands are just a dispensable point in my strategic map. They are so far away from East Africa and have no economic value at all. They are of no economic value to us. It’s not of great strategic value, after all, that position will only cause trouble for ourselves, but it’s a thankless effort.”

"You also know that hard work is thankless. Doesn't that mean that you have ideas about the Southern Ryukyu Islands? Take East Africa for example. Colonizing East Africa was also a thankless task at the beginning. Why don't you do the same? Now that East Africa is developing so rapidly, you are Make a lot of money.”

"How can the Southern Ryukyu Islands be compared with East Africa? The two are not on the same level at all. There are too many different levels in between. The area of ​​East Africa alone is more than 10 million square kilometers. Even if it is all rotten, it is not worth it. In the Philippines, you can basically get your money back by just digging some minerals. The Southern Ryukyu Islands are all about having nothing, land, population, resources, economic, military value... there is nothing that can make people take a high look."

Archduke Ferdinand: "If you say so, why do you still station troops in the Southern Ryukyu Islands? It's even faster than the Lanfang Overseas Province."

"Father-in-law, I stationed troops in the Southern Ryukyu Islands to defend against villains. Although the Southern Ryukyu Islands are of little value, since I have captured them, I cannot let them go casually. This is related to what I have in my hands. A piece of bread is the same, but I have no shortage of this piece of bread every day. Now there is a beggar who wants to eat this piece of bread. I don’t need this piece of bread, but he can’t steal or grab it, otherwise I will give him a bite and break his teeth. .”

Archduke Ferdinand stared at his son-in-law with a suspicious look on his face: "The villains and beggars you are talking about are not from Japan, are they?"

“Hahaha, father-in-law, you still understand me.”

“Why is your attitude towards Japan like this?” Archduke Ferdinand asked. In fact, Karina also wanted to know. In fact, the two of them have a good impression of Japan. This is actually a misunderstanding, that is, they love each other. Everyone in East Africa knows that the crown prince is very friendly to the Far East, including of course the Germans in East Africa.

The Far East is a geographical term in Europe, and the concept is very large. The Far East naturally includes the Far Eastern Empire, North Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. As for Mongolia, the five East Asian countries, it is still the territory of the Far East Empire. With Ernst, it will also disrupt the situation. Don't know what the future will be like.

"Japan is a country with a very extreme character. Don't look at how well they hide it now. In fact, they are holding back a lot of evil. This is something that the Far Eastern Empire should feel the most deeply about. In a word, it is a white-eyed wolf country that can compete with the Jews. , but the Japanese’s methods are different from those of the Jews, but they achieve the same goal by different paths.”

Ernst is a popular science writer like his wife and father-in-law, and this passage is very vicious. In this era, the Jewish customs are not only disgusting, but also notorious. It is not like Europe and the United States in the previous life, which were like licking dogs in front of Jewish forces, but it is also It is understandable that the Jews have the backing of the United States and control world public opinion. It is self-evident how powerful public opinion is in "democratic" countries, and it is related to power.

In capitalist countries, Jews working in industries can maximize their influence and power, because they represent the most powerful capital groups in Europe and the United States, and they are transnational organizations, but this does not work in the Arab world and the Far Eastern Empire. , If you do this, the local forces dare to beat the **** out of the Jews.

The Europeans got themselves into trouble. Just as the Far Eastern Empire focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, so did the Europeans. Therefore, the Jews could only engage in industries that the European aristocrats had previously looked down upon, that is, commerce.

When in the capitalist era, business developed, the power of the Jews naturally expanded, and the more liberal and democratic the country, the less able it was to get rid of Jewish control.

Ernst, the reborn person, was actually one of the obstacles to the Jewish consortium. Because Ernst himself was also engaged in business, the rise of the Hechingen consortium directly hit the home of the Rothschild family in Germany.

The Rothschild family has no way to deal with the Hechingen Consortium, because Ernst himself is part of the German aristocracy. With people like Ernst restraining the Jews in the financial field, the German aristocracy is also happy to see this happen. , the German aristocracy focused on mastering the guns, so they relied more on the support of the Jewish consortium, but they looked down upon the Jews.

Although Ernst could not completely ban the Jewish consortium, he could contain the Jewish consortium, and the nobles as the ruling class were naturally happy to see the results.

Of course, this is only the German region. The stronghold of the Jews is now Britain and the United States. As for the attitude of the Germans towards the Jews, Adolf has already given a conclusion in his previous life.

Japan's industrial and commercial funds came from the United Kingdom, and a large part of the British funds came from Jewish businessmen. Therefore, Jews still played an important role behind the dispute between Japan and Japan.

And this is not only true in Japan, but also in the Far Eastern Empire. Competition between East African and Jewish capital in the Far Eastern Empire also exists. However, East Africa and the Far Eastern Empire have a semi-cooperative relationship and focus on investment in the industrial field. Jewish capital in the Far East mainly relies on The British national power used foreign banks such as HSBC to compete with German businessmen, especially in the financial field. The Bank of Hechingen was a direct competitor of other foreign banks.

Ernst looked down on the Qing government, but there was one thing that Ernst liked more about the Qing government's ideas, that is, the Qing government attached great importance to industry, especially investment in heavy industry and military industry. Compared with previous lives, it was willing to act as a comprador and destroy the nation. Democratic government of capital and industry is much stronger.

Although the Qing government collapsed due to incompetence, it did leave behind some wealth, especially the military industry. Unlike some governments, which took away the national treasury and all foreign exchange before their death, and took the money that 400 million people had saved for decades. In terms of family wealth, development in a small area is not as good as that of Japan and South Korea. Ernst will definitely spit on this kind of government.
