Chapter 469: The Same Party (New Book Release, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Devil!"
A sharp crow sounded through the streets of London, and a man in tattered clothes screamed loudly with his mouth open, which had lost a few teeth.
"Jews! It's a bunch of villains who don't hesitate to trade with the devil for money, and they're the devil's accomplices, look at what they've done in the past? They sold Belgrade to the Turks, and now they also sell the opium of the Turks to England......"
His cries echoed through the streets, and as he cried out, hundreds of people echoed him aloud.
"Opium! They poisoned the English with opium, they colluded with the Turks! β
"They brought opium to England in order to weaken the British and then let the Turks occupy it......"
Every word of this man was associated with opium and the Turks, and instead of the slightest resistance to his outcry, people loudly agreed with him.
After all, all the words of this man speak to their hearts, after all, Jews have played this role for thousands of yearsβthe role of the devil's partner.
From the day the "Promised Land" was occupied by the Romans, the Jews were scattered in various European countries, although they were scattered in various European countries, but they did not change their faith, and the common faith kept them in touch with each other, and it was their faith that made the Europeans reject them, of course, in addition to the difference of faith, more importantly, in the eyes of Catholics, it was the Jews who betrayed Jesus.
In the Middle Ages, Jews were persecuted and slaughtered, and just two hundred years ago the Jews in Prague were again subjected to a massive attack. Of course, this is not only because of the discrimination against them by the Catholics, but also because of what the Jews themselves did, but also because of the hostility of the Europeans, especially when the Turks invaded Europe, almost every time, it was the local Jews who played the role of betraying the city, who provided food to the Turkish army, acted as their guides, and opened the gates for them......
After the 16th century, however, the situation of the Jews improved, despite occasional conflicts. And part of the reason for this improvement is that the Turks, the Turks, need Jewish technology and knowledge of finance, trade, and even diplomatic relations.
After the fall of Constantinople, the Jews, with the help of the Turks, controlled the import of oriental jewelry and silk fabrics. At the same time, the Jews in the international trade of Europe, with the help of the Jews scattered all over the country, established a trade network covering the whole of Europe and made huge profits from it.
But all of this, inseparable from the Turks.
Two hundred years earlier, in 1492, King Ferdinand II of Spain ordered the expulsion of all Jews from the country, and the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II immediately sent the Ottoman navy to Spain to bring the Jews who had been expelled by Spain to the Ottoman Empire safely. Bayezid II placed Jews in the provinces of the empire and issued orders to the provinces of the empire that the provinces of the empire were to treat the Jews with kindness and to prohibit anti-Semitism, otherwise the death penalty was imposed.
For hundreds of years, the cooperation between Jews and Turks has been intimate. It is also a well-known thing, and it is for this reason that when the pamphlet "The Jews - the Spies of the Infidels" was circulated throughout England, no one doubted its contents.
"A thousand years ago, the Jews betrayed Cairo, Jerusalem, Syria, ...... to the infidels Behind Christ's retreat from the Middle East and the Holy Land was the ...... of the devil's accomplices, the Jews"
In the dim light, Sassoon, a Jew who had just arrived in London from the Ottoman province of Baghdad ten years earlier, felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and a wave of fear he had never felt before.
ββ¦β¦ Late that night the Jew said to the Grand Villach: "Your Excellency, if you want Europe, I can give it to you, and you don't need to send a single soldier, just bring Pandora's tears to Europe, let the infidels indulge in it, and Europe will open its doors to you......"
Closing the book in his hand suddenly, Sassoon looked up again with a look of panic on his face.
He almost screamed.
"Let's go, we're going to get out of here, I dare say, they must be trying to evict us......"
"How is this possible? Isn't it two hundred years ago that they know what will happen if they provoke the Turks? β
Dawson looked at the eldest brother and said puzzledly, in his opinion, the Europeans did not dare to offend the Turks at all, and they Jews were the closest partners of the Turks.
Before his brother could finish speaking, Sassoon exclaimed.
"Turkey today is not the Turkey of a hundred years ago, and this is England, and the Turks cannot threaten here, and you see what they say here, they say that it is the Turks, and if the Turks intervene, I can guarantee that all the Jews will be killed by the mob......"
Without any hesitation, Sassoon commanded his brother.
"Now, we have to get out of here, go to Istanbul, and when we get there, at least we can escape the wrath of those Catholics!"
"But we don't have a lot of opium in our warehouse."
Dawson reminded again.
"Five days ago, we just came with a shipload of opium, and even a shipload of opium is on the way, and if we leave England now, we will definitely suffer a great loss!"
"Losses? I'm sure we might even lose everything if we don't leave. But ......"
Sassoon had his own sense of danger, and just as in Baghdad, when everyone thought there would be no danger, he saw the danger signal in the first year, and the signal was only because the governor had driven his Jewish steward out, and then he chose to leave, and a month later in Istanbul he learned that the governor had confiscated many Jewish property and some had been killed.
Of course, this did not cause much sensation, after all, even the Jews themselves were used to it, just as for them, becoming a tax collector of a certain governor was a dream profession for all Jews, but everyone knew that the risks of this profession could be killed by the governor at any time, and their property could be confiscated, but God could testify, and even so, they were willing to take this risk.
But anyone trying to get this profession must be fully aware of the risks and pull out of it when the knife hits them.
Looking up at Dawson, Sassoon said.
"We might be able to sell these things to somebody else, after all, not everybody believes that danger is coming."
Not everyone can feel the risk, at least, for Frick, he is not aware of the risk.
"Risk, no, my friend!"
Shaking his head, Frick said to his friends who visited him.
"I don't think there's any risk that Cromwell's time is when we return to England, why would he accept us? It was because of our talent in finance and trade that England urgently needed to bring in the wealth and capital of our Jews, and we, as Cromwell's friends, gave them too much help, and later, Cromwell protected us, and later, after Charles II ascended the throne, we were not familiar with that king, and our relationship with Cromwell would not provoke the hostility of Charles II? But it turned out that the situation was not as bad as we thought, even during his exile, we had rejected his loan application, he did not have any hostility towards us, and even a Maranne Jew introduced him to a lover, and we were always cared for by him, not only did he not persecute us, but also protected us from extortion and extortion by the nobles, and even allowed us to have religious gatherings in public,"
For Frick, who is over 60 years old, the times he has lived through have been times full of risks, and in his opinion, those times are undoubtedly full of dangers, but what is the result?
It's getting better and better!
"Now, some people say that the king wants to persecute us, but let's not forget that the king is from the Netherlands, and the Netherlands have always been the most tolerant in this regard, how can they persecute us?"
"Opium!"
Anneri looked at him and said.
"Many people believe that opium is a conspiracy between us and the Turks,"
"Yes, they feel that we have a monopoly on the opium trade because we have an agreement with the Turks."
"They think opium is a conspiracy of the Turks to dominate Europe, and we are their ......"
Ben said with some excitement.
"God can testify that we cooperated with the Celestial Empire in the beginning!"
When mentioning the Celestial Empire, Frick's brows furrowed slightly, he was also doing chores for the Celestial Empire, and then the Celestial Empire withdrew from this industry, and since then, this industry has become the industry of the Jews, but although the Celestial Empire has withdrawn from this industry, the rules they have made have always existed after this industry, and it is through these rules that they monopolize the opium trade in Europe, of course, the most fundamental reason is that through the Jews in Turkey, they monopolize the export of Turkish opium, No one could get opium out of Turkey except those who had a trade permit, but it was impossible for anyone other than the Jews to get a trade permit, and it was because of this that they used Turkey's hand to exclude the merchants of the Celestial Empire from the trade and make the opium trade a Jewish business.
And it was Forrick who planned all this, maybe he had worked for the Celestial Empire back then, but this did not prevent him from planning to seize this business, the opium business can bring huge wealth, and no one can resist the temptation of wealth.
However, because of this, the relationship between Frick and the Celestial Empire people also broke down, and even now, he still believes that the Celestial Empire people must have a grudge against him. After all, when he took over the opium business, he quickly monopolized the opium business by using Jews in Turkey. Kicked the Celestial Empire out of this business.
For the sake of profit, even one's own parents can be betrayed. For Jews, such a choice is the most correct. Although he said this to himself in his heart, he repeatedly told himself how right his choice was. However, deep in his heart, there was still a hidden fear, believing that one day the Celestial Empire would take revenge on him. Revenge for his betrayal.
But for so many years, for his original betrayal, as if it had never happened, the Celestial Empire had no intention of punishing him at all.
But even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly. In his opinion, the Celestial Empire must be waiting for an opportunity.
"Now this business is ours."
Frick looked at Sassoon and said,
"It's in our business. We can't give this business to anyone. β
"Dear Mr. Frick, we are not British, we have only just arrived here, and in fact we are all new to everything here, and the current situation worries us a little."
Of course, there is no way to understand this stubbornness of Frick. In his opinion, since there are signs of danger now, it is time to get out of here.
Although Flick was reluctant to leave, it was just right that he could give him the rest of the opium. Sell them to him, so that at least he won't lose money.
Of course, Sassoon just showed that and Farick immediately began to push up the price, you for the Jews, they can spread around the world Jews to build a trade network, but that doesn't mean they will sacrifice their own interests for the sake of their fellow citizens.
For these people who believe in the primacy of profit. In their eyes, compatriot affection is often subordinated to the latter in the face of practical interests.
Sassoon certainly knew that it was inevitable for Frick's price reduction, and although he might suffer some losses, he still made a quick decision to accept the low price offered by the other party.
At least the vast majority of the property can be saved. The gauze skirt comforted herself like this. As he saw Sassoon off, Frick looked at the young man from before and said to him.
"I think you're a little too cautious, the current situation is unlikely to have any impact on us, it's not like in Turkey, no one cares about you and me on the Turkish side. It is here that almost every day someone says that we are some kind of accomplice of the devil, and they have been saying this for thousands of years, and they have never stopped. But the present is not the same as it was in the past. At least for the past few decades, no one has killed us anymore, after all, we are all civilized now. β
Civilization...... Sassoon looked at Frick in front of him, shook his head and said.
"I don't know much about it, but I think if there are some signs and I don't get ready, I'll regret it in the future. And we don't have the capital to regret it. β
