Chapter 181: Rothschild

In Austria, where there were more than 185,000 Jews, the Nazis even stipulated that Jews in concentration camps could be released as long as they could leave Austria, and those who could not be driven out were slaughtered in batches in concentration camps. Therefore, as long as they can leave Austria, these people will be able to live. The key to leaving is to get a visa for another country.

At this time, there were many countries that would not issue visas to Jews for diplomatic or interest reasons. China was one of the few exceptions, and Ho did not want to see the Jews massacred, as later his memoirs recorded: "It is natural to be compassionate and willing to help others." From a human point of view, this is also what should be done. ”

Therefore, almost no one refuses to accept the visa requirements of Jews. Although there are no specific figures in later generations, statistics on the visas issued by He Fengshan are calculated, but according to the visa numbers of some original passports left in later generations, there are at least thousands of passports issued by He Fengshan. Sometimes, it can even reach 900 copies a month.

This number can already be compared with Schindler's list.

When these Jews arrived in China, they were surprised to find that the Chinese never seemed to be anti-Semitic. Very different from Europe. There are even some cultural cores, there are similarities and similarities, just like the words engraved on the stone tablet by the Kaifeng Jews in 1489: "Although its Confucianism and this religion are similar, but their determination and practice are only to respect the way of heaven, respect the ancestors, respect the monarch and ministers, filial piety to parents, and wives, respect the humble, make friends, and not more than the five virtues." This may also be one of the reasons why the Jewish community has been successfully assimilated into Chinese culture.

In Europe, however, there is no such environment. Jews like to live together and form their own communities. Build your own religion and temple. And this is contrary to the teachings of European Christianity. In addition to this, due to the ancient agricultural civilization, there is a tradition of attaching importance to agriculture. So, business isn't taken too seriously.

The Jews, unable to occupy the land, had to engage in business. However, generations of business have taken advantage of the rise of the industrial, commercial and financial industries in modern times. An excellent foundation has been laid. The Jews quickly became wealthy and gradually controlled half of Europe's financial industry. Among them, the most outstanding is the Rothschilds.

The financial industry is also a relatively lofty industry in later generations. Because of the huge amount of subject matter of operation, every 1/10,000th of the profit is a huge sum of money that is astronomical relative to the dead wage. In later generations, a large part of the rich and handsome who earned millions of dollars a year and started from scratch were a large part. is engaged in the financial industry. So, there is another term called financial man.

Although this kind of industry is hugely risky, it is also highly profitable. And you don't have to work in person, you only need to buy and sell short, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. Such a group of people with different cultures, customs, and beliefs has become rich and conspicuous after a large number of people have engaged in the financial industry.

When everyone was rich, there was nothing, but once the economic situation of the people around them began to decline. And only when this group is still rich, rejection and hatred are inevitable. The Chinese people's understanding of human nature is extremely profound. Not to mention. In the economic crisis that led to the detonation of the European and American worlds, with the United States as the center, if it is said that it has nothing to do with the Jews who play a pivotal role in the financial industry, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

And. Because of the abundance of the Jews, their money naturally gave them some power beyond money. At the same time, because of its wandering mentality. and the rejection of the assimilation of other civilizations, it is difficult for these wealthy Jewish businessmen to have a sense of belonging to a region that already has a national consciousness. Most of the history of the Jews is that this place is not conducive to my survival, so I will go to another place.

Although this is a last resort, it is difficult to believe that this group will be loyal to the kingdom of its region. Moreover, there are some Jewish groups who, when they understand the power of money, have no moral limits on the pursuit of money. The Sassoon family was once involved in the sale of tobacco soil. Among them, there is also a part of it that flows to the Qing Dynasty.

And the Jewish community in exile in the three northeastern provinces of China is even interested in the Japanese puffer fish plan.

After the Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces and established the puppet Manchuria, they did not intend to abide by the agreement with Puyi. There is a way, shop around and prepare with both hands. Since this land can support Puyi, it can also support other ethnic groups! Anyway, the Japanese are the bosses. In 1934, Ayukawa Yoshisuke published "A Plan to Invite 50,000 German Jews to Manchukuo." On December 5, 1938, the Japanese Cabinet approved the Fugu Plan.

And the spare tire chosen by the Japanese is the Jews. At this time, a large number of Russian Jews, because of Russian anti-Semitism, carried wealth and arrived in the Northeast. Become one of the richest groups in the Northeast. They had a lot of money in their hands, and at the same time, Jews were in constant contact with the Americans.

So, the Japanese made a deal with the Jews. The Jews used their connections and funds to invest in military installations and industrial construction in the Northeast, while the Japanese promised to give them a piece of land for restoration.

In the end, the Japanese plan was completely successful, and they made empty promises to extract a large amount of money from the Jews to make the construction of Tohoku faster. The Jews' plan to restore the country was completely frustrated, not only did the Americans disagree, but the Chinese changed their previous kindness and attacked them en masse, and even their compatriots in Shanghai did not agree. And the Japanese turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and after obtaining funds, the fugu plan could not be implemented.

It is precisely because of these characteristics of the Jews that the mass exclusion of Jews in Europe is clear in cause and effect. And it was precisely because of this that Hitler bewitched almost all Germans and participated in the massacre of the Jews that he formulated. And the difference between ethnicity and descent is only its coat. It's always difficult for Hitler to say directly, Lao Tzu is the hater of the rich......

To be sure, however, the Jews, while well maintaining their national traditions, are not doing a very good job. On the other hand, in Chinese later generations, Chinese Americans were all over the world, but they were not so much rejected. The most important point is that the Chinese pay attention to the guest and the host. After moving to a new environment, they will actively integrate into it.

Moreover, the civilization of the Chinese has always been abstract and morally civilized. I don't pay much attention to some details, so I never quantify the numbers. However, the construction of the moral system is extremely perfect, and the coverage of the moral system is between people. The most essential relationship summary and coping style. When every relationship, every theme of life, has been explored by the civilization of the Chinese, it is almost impossible for Chinese civilization to be assimilated by other civilizations.

Whether it is American blockbusters, Japanese anime, or Korean idol dramas, the core of the culture and moral system they follow can all correspond to a certain theme and detail in Chinese culture. Once entered, it is like a drop of water into the sea, and flowers and trees are grafted. Although the details are greatly deformed, they are consistent from the root cause.

Therefore, Chinese take the initiative to dissolve into other cultures, how can they really change from guest to master? When the Chinese find themselves following the cultural and moral system, they can completely deconstruct the cultural and moral system of the "master", accommodate and absorb it, and turn it into their own use. It is time for the Chinese to be anti-customer-oriented. Just as the sea can submerge the original reef-occupied seabed.

Otherwise, since ancient times. How did the hundreds of different cultural groups that occupied and entered China disappear? How did the land of the Chinese change from ancient Kyushu to its current territory?

So, the afterlife is before the rest of your life travels. Chinese culture has not emerged, but in fact, as long as Chinese begin to focus on deconstructing foreign cultures with their own thousands of years of culture, they will find that those foreign cultures. Those discussions about people and morality, this part of China had the Sui and Tang dynasties, and that part of the Qin and Han dynasties of China. This piece belongs to a certain famous family, and that piece belongs to a certain school......

There is no need for much, perhaps only need such a trend, and the Chinese who have alienated their traditional culture will find that these foreign cultures are their own things. And how can there be a cultural invasion, it is already polite not to promote this kind of deconstruction to the world. It's really impossible to say who invades.

As for specific disciplines, because they do not involve the essence of civilization, they are used.

And the Chinese also have a characteristic, that is, they are courteous to outsiders, and the fight is generally between their own people. Monks from outside are generally good at chanting scriptures. When the Jews came to Shanghai en masse, they were not ostracized by the Chinese, even though they were penniless. Beliefs and living customs have also been maintained.

After the start of World War II, most of the Jews who arrived in China were destitute. It was not that these famously wealthy people were poor, but that most of their property was confiscated by the Germans or spent on joints or travel necessities.

Although in October 1938, the Jews living in Shanghai formed the "Committee for Aid to Jewish Refugees in Europe," because the assets of these founders had also shrunk greatly during the war and prices in Shanghai had skyrocketed, by the end of 1938 the funds raised by the "Committee for Aid to Jewish Refugees in Europe to Shanghai" had only raised about $8,000.

It's not like there's a banquet on a weekday. The $8,000 was enough to provide the most basic food for more than 600 Jewish refugees every day. It's a drop in the bucket. Had it not been for Sassoon's donation of the Riverside Building as a shelter for Jewish refugees, many penniless Jews would probably not even have a place to live.

It was not until 1939 that Sassoon donated $150,000 to the newly established "Recovery Fund" for the Jews, and the Jews in exile in Shanghai had the capital to set up some small and medium-sized enterprises to be self-reliant and provide food and clothing for more than 3,000 Jewish refugees.

However, these 3,000 people were only the luckiest group of Jews in exile in Shanghai. Most of the Jewish refugees were accommodated in refugee shelters with dozens, if not dozens, crammed into a room. And, it's hard to get a job. Most of the refugees can only make ends meet by doing occasional odd jobs, such as delivering briquettes, repairing electrical appliances to wealthy families in Shanghai, selling newspapers, and selling snacks such as ice cream.

In Shanghai, it was naturally impossible to build a separate shelter for the Jews. A large number of Jewish refugees were mixed with Chinese refugees who had been exiled here. Sometimes, Jewish refugees receive a share of food or daily necessities donated by the community. Among them, there are actually a few people from the Rothschild family who have concealed their identities.

According to Mr. Rothschild's account, when Qing Xiaoyi took the things that she gave her for the rest of her life and followed Liu Wang Liming to the shelter to distribute things everywhere, she distributed food and supplies to Jewish refugees, which was impressive. At this time, the Rothschilds were busy negotiating with the British about the restrictions on Jewish immigrants entering Palestine and the purchase of land by Jews in 1939!

The restoration plan is one of the most important things for the Rothschilds, who are Jews. In this case, although his family is powerful, he has no time to look east. And the founding of Israel in later generations is indeed inseparable from the efforts of the Rothschilds. British Foreign Secretary Balfour addressed Walter. A letter from Lord Rothschild became the famous Balfour Declaration.

At this time, the Rothschilds came and donated such a large amount of a check to the charity gala for the rest of their lives. In addition to thanking Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi for their help to the Jews, it is also a natural support for the allies.

Most of the Rothschilds' family background is actually in Europe. Since the 16th century, the family has lived in the Jewish Ghetto in Frankfurt, Germany. Later, he made his fortune by selling antiques and coins, and climbed into the house of the powerful. Later, it extended its tentacles to the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. And mixed well in the UK.

In Britain, the Rothschilds invested in British military spending, the Suez Canal project, the Anglo-French war, and even the American Civil War, and, with their extraordinary vision, stood on the winning side each time. And the wealth brought by the war made the Rothschilds quickly rich, rich and rivaled the country!

By the mid-nineteenth century, a large Rothschild financial empire was forming in Europe. At the outbreak of war, the Rothschilds not only provided loans to governments, but also paid reparations to the defeated side. The family's tentacles extend to all walks of life, banking, securities, stock trading, and insurance business. In addition to the financial sector, they also invested in industry and commerce, railways, postal communication systems, and new energy sources that accompanied the Industrial Revolution, such as coal and oil! and bulk mineral deposits and resources, such as steel and copper, to name a few.
