Chapter 461

As long as the civil war broke out, no matter who won the war in the end, the huge debt of the government caused by the huge war expenses would force the federal government to borrow money from the outside, and finally embark on the road they planned.

According to the accurate information obtained by Chen Mo, it is now the richest man in Europe and the largest banker force, the Rothschild family, that is driving the war behind the scenes.

They provided loans and sold major materials to the nobles of the Warring States through wartime, and handled international remittance and currency exchange between European countries. After the war, they were involved in government securities, insurance and enterprise stocks, and invested in railways, coal, steel and other investments, firmly grasping the lifeblood of the country economically.

After spreading their influence all over Europe, the Rothschild family focused on the United States.

In the autumn of 1859, Solomon Rothschild, a European banker, came to the south of the United States. At that time, the United States was full of agents of British financiers. Solomon cleverly used these agents to build momentum, constantly highlighted and strengthened the conflict of economic interests between the north and the South on the issue of slavery, and successfully catalysed the issue of slavery into an irreconcilable conflict between the north and the south.

In his talks with local people, Solomon Rothschild publicly said that he would support the South economically and help the independent South gain recognition from European powers.

At this time, there was also a strong supporter in the north. He was Auguste Belmont, a Jewish banker known as the king of the Fifth Avenue in New York.

Auguste came to New York in 1837. He soon became the leader of New York's financial circle because he bought a large number of government bonds. Auguste also stated in public many times that he was willing to support the North financially on behalf of Rothschild Bank of England.

In fact, the two bankers, Auguste and Solomon, who supported the north and the south respectively, were actually part of the Rothschild family.

Auguste Belmont is the agent of Rothschild bank in the United States, and also the main supporter of Henry Clay and Whig party. However, he worked in the United States secretly for more than 20 years, but he never made great progress. The Rothschild family sent its core members to deal with the American problem.

Solomon Rothschild is the second son of Meyer Rothschild, the founder of Rothschild family, and one of the "five tigers of Roche".

Meyer Rothschild sent his five sons, namely the "five tigers of Roche", to London, Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt, Italy, Naples and other famous European cities to set up banks to control European finance. After the defeat of their agent Auguste Belmont, Solomon Rothschild himself Since coming to America.

In fact, the outbreak of the civil war was just a matter of time. If it wasn't for Zachary Taylor, who had resisted slavery firmly and had a very strong attitude, the civil war might have already broken out. After years of brewing and continuous fermentation, the conflict between the north and the South has become more and more acute. At this time, their intervention and promotion are just to make the war a success The long war broke out ahead of time.

Under their full promotion, the civil war in the United States broke out as these bankers expected. At the beginning of the war, the military attack in the South won day by day, because the Lincoln government's treasury in the North was empty, leading to the army's losing day by day. If there was no money, the war would soon end, and the victory would be in the south.

At this time, it was the turn of the "good" bankers to come to the stage. They proposed a financing plan to Lincoln and offered conditions: the bond interest rate was 24% - 36%!

At this time, Lincoln knew that bankers were playing a game that could make the U.S. government bankrupt completely.

The bankers successfully put Lincoln in a dilemma. Without money, they can only wait for the south to blow the trumpet of victory. If they accept the rules of the bankers' game, even if they win the war, the government will be controlled by the bankers.

Lincoln visited Chen Mo again, hoping that Chen Mo could provide financial support to the northern Federation, but Chen Mo refused him again.

Now is not the time for private central banks to emerge. They have not experienced several financial crises. They have realized the potential threat of laissez faire free financial policy and the huge damage to the economy. Even if they successfully set up the central bank in this war, they will survive the crisis in the post-war government just like the first bank of the United States and the second bank of the United States, which was a flash in the pan Later closed.

However, Chen Mo did not let it go, but suggested that Lincoln let the government issue its own currency!

"If this obnoxious new currency policy from the United States (Lincoln green currency) is permanent, then the government can not issue its own currency locally," the London Times, representing the position of the bankers, immediately issued a statement. It will be able to pay all its debts and not be in debt. It will get all the money it needs to develop business. This country must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy in the world! "

Lincoln made the bankers who had been providing huge financial support to the South lose a lot, and even shattered the family's plot. How could they give up!With the infiltration of these years in Congress, they clearly knew the whereabouts of Lincoln and chose John booth as their "shooter"!

Under a careful plan and arrangement, a series of coincidences led Abraham Lincoln to die in this way.

After Lincoln's death, under the control of the international financial forces, the U.S. Congress announced the abolition of Lincoln's new currency policy, and set the upper limit for the issuance of Lincoln's new currency to no more than 400 million dollars.

For these things, Chen Mo did not intervene. These influential historical events Chen Mo did not intend to change, because it is likely to change the direction of future history. Lincoln's "death" did not weaken his control over the Republican Party and Congress, including the abolition of the new currency policy, which was also carried out with the acquiescence of Chen mo.

European bankers think they are in charge of everything, but they don't know that their every move is in the eyes of Chen mo. Chen Mo doesn't want to intervene in such a major historical event as Lincoln's assassination, but Chen Mo, a few small financial families, can handle it at will.

In the first World War, against an invisible force, the Rothschild family and other famous European financial families suffered the disaster of extinction in the war, most of their industries were seized and confiscated, and their members were even more severely killed and wounded. These huge forces that had controlled the European economy in secret never recovered.
