Paris France.
James Rothschild frowned after listening carefully to his son, Edmond Rothschild, telling about the "Haarlem Railroad Company War" from North America.
"Father, it seems that the Dutch have a huge influence in the United States of America. In the past, the Randy family overwhelmed the United States to become the most powerful consortium family. Later, the Vanderbilt family dominated the shipping giants of the United States of America. Achieve "Captain" title.
Now that President Andrew Johnson is in power, Dutch capitalists are taking the opportunity to cross borders."
James Rothschild nodded and said, "How are our Jewish compatriots developing in the United States?"
Edmond Rothschild said: "Everything is going well at the moment, but the presence of a large European population such as Dutch and Prussian makes it difficult for the Jewish people to exert themselves, and you know, just like Europe, the Jews Still not very popular, even though our ability to do business gets everyone's attention"
James looked up at his son Edmund, thoughtful, and sighed after a moment: "Helping the development of the Jewish people is the destiny your grandfather said all his life. As his descendants, we must maintain this sense of mission."
"So my father also supported my cousin Lionel North America's approach, trying to build a place for the Jewish people to live there? For this reason, at the cost of breaking the most powerful Dutch people there?"
Edmond asked suspiciously.
James was extremely arrogant and arrogant all his life. In just a few years after he arrived in Paris from Frankfurt, he won the right to issue French currency and financial bonds. You can learn about his talents. Many people took him with him. Compared with his third brother, Nathan Rothschild, the latter made great achievements in London, England, and completed the great achievements of the Rothschild family in conquering the first castle outside of their home in Frankfurt, and made the Rothschild family. 's prestige.
That's why James has looked to Nathan as a rival and a role model for decades.
With the death of the third brother Nathan, he has already put his sons Edmond and Lionel to represent the next generation of competition, but no one will try the Rothschild family's infighting ancestors, and no one will try it. In this family's interests, there will be practices that harm the public.
James naturally understands that this is the most important factor in the development of a family.
"Jews are our root, don't forget, there is a saying in the Far East, people who are not my people will have different hearts. Edmond, our Zion State is in Jerusalem-Salem in the Middle East, there It is our homeland.
Before your grandfather passed away that year, you told us to remember that the Rothschild family's mission must be to help Zion, and for this, we can do some shocking things. One generation can't work, one generation can't work, one day is not successful, everything works hard for it"
Emond Rothschild was shocked, looked at James, and saw his always proud father, his face was full of solemnity at this moment.
Obviously, this mission was really engraved into my father's mind.
In contrast, Lionel should think so too.
"What is the father going to do?"
"What else can you do? Since your cousin Lionel has provoked a fight between Roche and others in North America, the entire Roche family will naturally not let outsiders see that we are a mess. It's almost time for the French government to intervene in North American affairs. ”
"French people are not happy in North America, will this not have much effect?" Emond asked suspiciously.
"Isn't the effect of the French government still unsatisfactory?" James laughed: "Napoleon III has been supported by us for so long, it is time to do something to repay us"
Edmond shook his body slightly and looked at his father James in surprise.
"Father didn't say before that the 'favor' owed to us by the Napoleon III regime needs to be used at a critical moment?"
"What is a critical moment?" James said instructively: "The so-called 'human affection' is called possession because it is useful, and it is worth having when it has investment value.
But if the 'human affection' is about to lose its value and useless, if we keep it, the investment will fail. Edmond, everything cannot be static, and the difference between black and white is actually just a difference of light."
So far, the Roche father and son in Paris have determined that they are ready to support Lionel in North America and prepare to show "solidarity" in North America.
......
Prussia, Berlin.
"Prime Minister, the growth of the Dutch is unstoppable. The combination of politics and business has become a trend. It is difficult to defeat in Milliken. Prussia should not participate in the suppression of the Dutch at present."
In front of Crown Prince Frederick sat King William I of Prussia and Prime Minister Bismarck.
All three are currently feeling a little worried about the North American financial war.
William I also said: "William IV is a very hidden person. I am worried that the Rothschild family may accidentally fall into the trap of William IV."
William I was very wary of William IV in the past few years, so in this possible financial war in North America, he put most of his energy on William IV of the Netherlands this time.
"Over the years, I have been observing this guy William IV. I have found that he has become more and more low-key these years. One possibility is that he is an incompetent ruler, and the other is that he is like a snake. Choose what you eat. William IV seems to me to be the latter, and I am worried that when everyone preconceived that the Rothschilds were the dominant financial power in Europe, they all thought that the Netherlands would suffer a big loss in North America. time, be careful that William IV has a 'surprise' for everyone"
Crown Prince Frederick was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of disbelief.
"Father, this should be impossible. Don't forget that the finances of this major European country are almost controlled by the Rothschild family. How can the Netherlands compete with them. I'm worried that the Dutch guilders will be given to the Rothschilds if they are not careful. The German family is submerged. Lost purchasing power"
Bismarck's eyes suddenly lit up, as if thinking of something.
Crown Prince Frederick then continued: "Can the Netherlands still be stronger than the British Empire? Over the years, Queen Victoria has only been able to please them and Roche to ensure the stability of the British expansion. If not, the United Kingdom may start a war. Military spending and warship wear and tear are unsustainable astronomical figures."
"No, I don't agree with the crown prince's statement"
Bismarck said at this time; "Don't forget the crown prince, the current Dutch guilder in the Netherlands is self-supporting and even self-contained. I have only now discovered that the Netherlands has chosen to be pegged to the British pound, while in fact it is still pegged to the US dollar."
"So what?" Crown Prince Frederick asked inexplicably.
