Pang Jindong nodded: "I think so too!"

"Then let's enjoy it in peace!" Miria fumbled to find the refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of wine and a few glasses from it, and said, "It seems that they have prepared it for us!"

Pang Jindong took the wine and poured it full, and said with emotion in Chinese: "There is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sad and tomorrow is worried." ”

The three of them enjoyed the scenery along the way while drinking freely.

After driving for about an hour on the mountain road, the car arrived at a villa full of Nordic style, and the previous Jew took Pang Jindong and others all the way to the study of the villa.

Inside the study stood a man who was not confused, and a small black hat on his head identified him as a Jew.

"Hello, Mr. Pang, I'm Otto Rothschild. When this person saw Pang Jindong, he shook his hand warmly.

Otto Rothschild was of medium stature and stocky. Like those two Jews, the first impression alone can give a very shrewd feeling. Pang Jindong noticed very carefully that he had no beard.

The beard had a special meaning for the Jews, and legend has it that Adam had a lot of beard, and the Jews regarded it as a gift from God. The Old Testament mandated that men should not shave their beards and sideburns, and the Jews in Israel still observe this commandment, but the practice of shaving their beards is common elsewhere. But the Rothschilds strictly followed the precepts of Judaism, and judging by Otto Rothschild's delicate and smooth chin, he should not have shaved beard, but not long at all.

This seemingly inconsequential question is actually crucial because it has to do with a will left by the founder of the Rothschild family business, the elder Rothschild.

Since learning that Senator Levi's backers are the Rothschilds, Pang Jindong has taken care to gather a lot of information about this family and even other famous Jewish families.

Since the Rothschilds have always been shrouded in mystery, many rumors about this family have become popular, including mixed truths and falsehoods. Pang Jindong learned that there was such a statement that had been indirectly recognized by other Jewish families. About 200 years ago, the elder Rothschild - that is, Mayer Rothschild - made five demands on his descendants on his deathbed.

First, all important positions in the family bank must be filled by family insiders, and no outsiders can be appointed, and only male family members can participate in family business activities;

second, insist on intermarriage within the clan to prevent the dilution and outflow of wealth;

Third, it is absolutely forbidden to disclose the property situation to the public;

Fourth, lawyers are absolutely not allowed to intervene in the inheritance of property.

Fifth, the eldest son of each family is the head of each family, and only with the unanimous consent of the family can the second son be selected to succeed him.

The elder Rothschild had five sons who ran financial businesses in five countries. The family grew in size and forged the Rothschild financial empire, which remained true to it for 200 years.

Although Jews have continued to intermarry with foreigners for various reasons throughout history, and even there are dark-skinned Jews in North Africa, it is clear from the second clause of this will that Otto Rothschild should not have had the opportunity to mix with foreign blood. In other words, the genetic characteristics of the Rothschild family were basically determined when this will was made. Although this rule was later relaxed to allow intermarriage with other Jewish bankers, and even to account for genetic variation, Otto Rothschild's very different appearance from other Jewish bankers seems to indicate that he was of interracial descent. But anyone who violates this will will lose the right to inherit the property, and Otto Rothschild's father should not have taken the risk of violating it.

Seeing that Pang Jindong had been staring at his chin, Otto Rothschild smiled and said with a little embarrassment: "Please sit down!"

After Pang Jindong and the three of them sat down, the other two Jews went out quietly and closed the door before leaving.

Otto Rothschild looked at Miria and Nick, and asked Pang Jindong thoughtfully: "I don't know if Mr. Pang is convenient to talk about something now!"

Pang Jindong nodded: "Of course!"

Seeing this, Nick stood up with interest and said to Pang Jindong: "Let's go out and wait for you!"

"No!" Pang Jindong pressed Nick's shoulder and said slowly, "I don't have anything to carry my brothers!"

Nick and Miria looked at each other and sat still, but didn't say a word.

Otto Rothschild asked, "Mr. Pong, can I call you Jerry?"

"Absolutely!"

"That's great. After a pause, Otto Rothschild continued: "You can call me Otto, and I hope to start our conversation in a cordial atmosphere. ”

Pang Jindong asked bluntly: "I don't know what you are looking for me?"

Otto Rothschild obviously didn't want to cut the conversation straight to the point, but asked Pang Jindong: "Do you drink coffee?"

Miria and Nick shook their heads, and Pang Jindong said, "I prefer tea!"

Otto Rothschild brews coffee and says, "I've been to China and I've had a lot of tea there. I have to admit that I still like the taste of tea, but unfortunately there is only coffee here, and it is instant. ”

"You Westerners usually drink a little black tea, in fact, in our country, there are hundreds of types of tea. ”

"I've seen it!" Otto Rothschild said with a sip of coffee and a look of admiration: "Tea culture has a long history, and it is broad and profound, far better than coffee, just like your Chinese civilization." ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" If Otto Rothschild directly praised Pang Jindong himself, Pang Jindong, who was always vigilant, would be indifferent, but this kind of praise for his own country made Pang Jindong very useful.

"In my opinion, you Chinese and we Jews are undoubtedly the two greatest peoples in the world. ”

"When I was in China, I heard the saying, 'The wealth of this world is in the pockets of the Jews, and the wisdom is in the heads of the Chinese.'" Over the years abroad, I have come to realize that this statement is not entirely true. A closer to the truth would be: 'Jews like to carry wealth in their heads, and Chinese like to carry wisdom in their pockets.' ’。 ”

Otto Rothschild smiled and said, "This assessment of yours is very vivid and vivid!"

"When it comes to wealth, no one can say that they are rich in front of the Rothschilds. Since Otto Rothschild had been talking about him, Pang Jindong turned the conversation to the Rothschilds.

Otto Rothschild did not take Pang Jindong's words, but said: "I admire the wisdom of the Chinese, and your wisdom has made many great thinkers born when Europeans were still in the Black Forest." ”

Since Otto Rothschild was keen to compare Chinese and Western civilizations, Pang Jindong simply accompanied: "It is a pity that in the last three or four hundred years, this wisdom has not only not continued to create great thinkers, but also allowed Chinese civilization to stagnate, and allowed Europeans to catch up." ”

"The development of Eastern and Western civilizations is an overly ambitious proposition, and I have not conducted any systematic research on it, so I will not comment on it. It's just that I personally still have full confidence in the wisdom of the Chinese, and Jerry was able to make the Blood Lion Mercenary Group rise to the jungle of South America, which is precisely because of this wisdom. Otto Rothschild seemed interested in getting the conversation to the point.

Pang Jindong smiled and asked, "Do you know a lot about mercenaries?"

"I don't know about it, but I've had a lot of contact!"

Otto Rothschild's words were somewhat unexpected by Pang Jindong. In Pang Jindong's view, it seems that it is difficult for a big capitalist like Otto Rothschild to have anything to do with mercenaries. If it is reasonable for the Jews to have some shady purpose to make contact between the two sides, then Otto Rothschild's "many contacts" are incomprehensible.

Otto Rothschild saw Pang Jindong's doubts, smiled again, and said slowly: "In the past few decades, we have hired mercenaries to capture many Nazi war criminals!"

With the end of World War II, the first thing the Zionists did after making the state of Israel a reality was to hunt down Nazi war criminals around the globe who had a great blood debt to the Jews. The means employed may be overt or covert, lawful or illegal. And regardless of the attitude of other governments, they continued to persevere for decades, eventually bringing more than a thousand Nazi war criminals to justice.

However, it is generally accepted that the hunt for Nazi war criminals was mainly the responsibility of the "Mossad". It wasn't until today that he heard Otto Rothschild's words that Pang Jindong knew that the underground mercenaries were also involved.

The Mossad, whose full name is the "Israel Intelligence and Special Missions Agency", was formed with the development of the "Zionist" movement and the establishment of the State of Israel.

Before Israel's independence, the Haganah, a secret Jewish military organization in Palestine. This organization specializes in clandestine purchases of weapons and equipment, which are then smuggled into the Palestinian region, as well as illegal immigration to the area. The intelligence collected for these activities was carried out by an intelligence agency affiliated with the "Haganah", "Shaya". After the establishment of the State of Israel, the "Haganah" was replaced by the "Israel Defense Forces", and the "Shah" was replaced by the "Foreign Intelligence Agency", which was the predecessor of the Mossad.

Israel's military, police, and diplomatic agencies all have their own intelligence systems, but the most important one is the Mossad. Although many of the Mossad's activities were successful through cooperation with Wehrmacht commandos or the intelligence agencies of Western powers, the Mossad is often attributed to its merits, which adds to its mystique aura.

In the 50s of the 20 th century, it first obtained Khrushchev's secret report against Stalin, which shook the whole world after it was made public, and in the 60s, it stole the most advanced MiG-21 fighter plane from Iraq at that time; and it also organized a commando team to attack the Entebbe airport in Uganda's capital for a long distance, and successfully rescued more than 100 hostages, but only one of its own casualties was ......

Although much of the Mossad's activities are unknown, the above public parts alone make the Mossad stand shoulder to shoulder with the CIA of country M, MI5 of country Y, and the KGB of the former Soviet Union, and is recognized as one of the four most powerful intelligence and secret services agencies in the world.

The Mossad's eyeline is found at the center and top of governments, and the level of technology is too high to match in the world. It is said that its "Flying Arrow" special forces have visited the embassies and consulates of all countries, even the White House. It is reported that they have the telephone numbers of many dignitaries in country M. There is even information that the Mossad has 30 hours of affectionate recordings of Clinton and Lewinsky, and has tried to blackmail Clinton with it.

Both the White House and Israel flatly denied this, saying that the Mossad had long had a rule prohibiting illegal espionage operations in country M. The Mossad's overarching rule, however, is that there is nothing that cannot be done in the national interest.

Thinking of these proud achievements of Israel's Mossad, Pang Jindong felt a little ashamed of his country. At a time when the Israelis would rather kill Nazi war criminals than let them go, their own country took the initiative to give up Dongying's defeat reparations, and in the spirit of "repaying grievances with virtue", they granted amnesty to those war criminals who committed heinous crimes with a stroke of a pen.

However, when the Mossad pursued Nazi war criminals, Pang Jindong only stayed at the content obtained from books, and was far from having a personal experience of the current politics of country M. Because when the Mossad was at its most glorious, Pang Jindong had not yet come to this world. By the time Pang Jindong became a mercenary, there was basically no progress in the pursuit of Nazi fugitives, because the main war criminals had all passed away, and some insignificant war criminals were also over the age of six, and it was still a question whether they could survive until the time of trial.

Looking at Otto Rothschild, Pang Jindong expressed his surprise: "I thought that Nazi war criminals were all captured by the Mossad!"

"So to speak!" Otto Rothschild nodded, then added: "But there are many exceptions, mainly in the 50s and 80s of the twentieth century, when some Nazi war criminals were very powerful. They took a lot of wealth with them before they fled, and after fleeing to other countries, they either formed neo-Nazi organizations, ran businesses, became triad leaders, and some even had small private armies. In this case, a direct Mossad attack could cause a lot of casualties......"

Inevitably hurt Pang Jindong's self-esteem, Otto Rothschild didn't want to show it too bluntly, he used mercenaries as tools, so he paused here.
