The east wind that the Celestial Empire was waiting for did not come from the east, but from the far other side of the Atlantic. \\23hh.cc\\ When Lin Haifeng's fleet sailed towards Shanghai on the quiet sea, the United States on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean was swept away by a cruel and ruthless economic crisis, and thus opened the curtain of the worldwide economic crisis that swept the European and American powers.
“…… Some people attribute the economic crisis to 100 percent to the great danger that the world of free capital itself cannot overcome, and claim that it will ruthlessly attack and wash away the world of free capital again and again in the form of cycle after cycle, until this wonderful world disappears completely...... And the truth is not what these demagogues say it is. The world of free capital brings people infinite enterprising spirit and extraordinary sense of creativity, as well as cultivating people's superhuman wisdom in the tide of freedom, it has great superiority that no system can hardly match, it is a world where everyone is equal in front of wealth, and it is a world that is always full of vitality. It is a pity that those conspirators refuse to face up to this superiority of the world of free capital, and in order to achieve the sinister goal of destroying the world of free capital, they collude with each other to infiltrate the world of free capital in all directions by extremely despicable means. At the same time, with the help of some financial villains in the world of free capital, economic blows and financial plunders are carried out again and again on the world of free capital. This is the root cause of the economic crisis that hangs over our free capitalist world like a haze and keeps us away......"
This is a passage from the Chinese preface to his book "The Game of Absolute Injustice: The Great Conspiracy" written and published by Junius Morgan, an American who personally experienced several world economic crises from 1856 to 1857, 1866 to 1867, 1873 to 1867, 1873 to 79, and 1882.
Junius Morgan can be said to be a poor man who has been hit by both luck and misfortune.
During the economic crisis of 1857, Georges Peabody, a great benefactor of Junius Morgan and a bank speculator in the United States, invested heavily in American railroad bonds and ZF bonds. However, the lucky George Peabody was rescued by the Rothschild family, which is second to none in Europe and the whole world. not only snatched him back from the side of death, but also made him gamble all his net worth in just over half a year. biquge.info first big deal of bonds that were sold off as junk by terrified U.S. bond investors. That's it, the U.S. bonds in hand made George Peabody super-rich very quickly. In 1866, George Peabody, who had been swimming celibate in the sea of money for decades and finally felt a little exhausted, chose the young and promising Junius Morgan as his heir, and decided to hand over the famous British George Peabody Company to Junius Morgan.
For the lucky Junius Morgan, it was undoubtedly a hit in the head by a piece of gold cake that fell from the sky. However. Just as Junius Morgan had just changed the name of George Peabody & Co. based in London to Junius Morgan, another economic crisis erupted. In this crisis, misfortune found his head mercilessly, and the Junius-Morgan company was finally beaten to the brink of poverty.
Seeing through the red dust, Junius Morgan vowed not to set foot in the sordid world of finance again, and sure enough, he changed his career and returned to the United States to become a newspaper man. The Game of Absolute Injustice - The Great Conspiracy is his debut novel and the only masterpiece of his life.
Junius Morgan, in his Chinese, which claims to have been painstakingly collected over thirty years and whose insider revelations are absolutely true and reliable, speaks of the economic crisis of 1857.
"As soon as the so-called huge ZF purchasing group left their filthy land, it had already kicked off the world catastrophe of free capital. They spread all kinds of false information. It makes full use of the good psychology of the people, as well as the free capitalist world financial freedom system, bluffing. Misleading people in good faith...... In this way, the shameless Taiping Red Zf and its accomplices France and the Netherlands colluded with each other, and under the echo of the despicable and greedy speculative banks such as Rothschild, they arbitrarily manipulated the bond and stock exchange markets, and finally led to the outbreak of this worldwide catastrophe......"
“…… The great catastrophe of the spring of 1857 plunged the once heavenly free and thriving American economy into an abyss of great pain. Philadelphia, which once competed with New York for the status of the nation's financial center, stopped making payments from all banks. Even in New York, 62 of the original 63 banks were forced to stop making payments because of a massive run. The stock market has plunged sharply, with the shares of several major railway companies almost reaching zero, and the capital market is in a miserable green. Even a financial tycoon such as Little, who is known for his short selling, has been on the battlefield in the capital market for a long time, and has successfully raised the shares of the Morris Canal and the banking company from $10 to nearly $200, has not escaped the nightmare of this catastrophe, not only losing all his fortune, but also completely losing the opportunity to engage in the great cause of financial trading. And with the collapse of the financial system. America's industry has been devastated on an unprecedented scale. There was a frenzy of business closures in the United States. In just half a year, nearly 5,000 enterprises have declared bankruptcy. The Great Tribulation left the workers of all countries hungry and cold. In Philadelphia alone, nearly 20,000 of the city's less than 40,000 factory workers are unemployed, and more than 15,000 are semi-unemployed, and the thousands of unemployed workers in cottage industries are innumerable......
However, it is these guys who keep shouting long live the people who are bloodied with the people of other countries in this financial war without gunpowder. In August of that year, I witnessed such a tragic scene in New York. It was a dilapidated house that did not shelter from the rain in summer and the wind and cold in winter, and the male owner of the family who still had income half a year ago was unemployed, and in the days of unemployment. Unable to bear the torments of life, he committed suicide. Not long after, the hostess also died of starvation. The day YD arrived at this house. It was when the poor mother had just died, that three dirty children, no older than six years old, lay on their mother's still warm corpse, crying bitterly and crying out for hunger. At that time, I cried because I thought that if it weren't for those conspirators, the good life of this family would continue. Despite their meagre income. But as long as they can live frugally, after many years of accumulation, they will repair their dilapidated house, raise three innocent and lively children, and every Christmas, the family can indulge in joy around the Christmas tree. Sadly, for this family, this qiē is gone. But they should have hatred" So, what did the conspirators gain from this people's catastrophe? All those who lived through that era know. One after another, the major ports of the United States were full of cargo ships heading to the East, and on board were a large number of cheap machines of all kinds of machinery, steel, pig iron, and a large number of cheap textiles and raw silk. There is also an untold amount of food...... This qiē was frantically plundered by the shameless country in the east like a robber in the land. And everyone must remember that the necessities of life, such as textiles and raw silk, that they plundered from us in the United States, only went round and round at sea, and even more so did not even turn the circle, after we finally stubbornly struggled out of their clutches. He resold it to us at a high price, and continued to extract oil and water from our already scarred bodies......"
At that time, some people with ulterior motives were like that. They always like to blame other countries for every disaster that happens in the world. Especially from the conspiracy of the Eastern powers, which have risen to the top, the Heavenly Kingdom of the Balances. Conspiracy theories are rampant. Junius Morgan, a freelance writer who turned into a financial speculator, is one of the leading figures. waited until the generation of his sons. The conspiracy theories are even higher.
In fact. Don't say it's 1857 and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Even a few decades later, this big country in the East. How can so many countries be manipulated so lightly? Of course. In order to accelerate the pace of domestic industrialization revolution. Also to do more with less. Lin Haifeng and other leaders of the Celestial Empire have indeed made a few moves in the world economy this year. That's just filling a few handfuls of firewood for the crisis that is already about to be boiled. Delayed the outbreak of the economic crisis by several months.
Anyway. Thirty years later, Junior Morgan's magnum opus Lin Haifeng still can't see it now. Suppose he saw the earth. It is estimated that there will be a big shock. Then touch your own braincase. Smell yourself. Am I really that good?
There is an even more impassioned argument in Junius-Morgan's magnum opus. That is, no matter how good you are in the world of conspiracies and hatred of free capital. The world of free capital will always rise again in every conspiracy in your land. And stand up every time. There will always be greater free capital. Let's quote his original text in "Absolutely Unjust Game - The Conspiracy of Heaven and Earth".
“…… Beginning in the second half of 1856. Ended October 1857. The economic crisis, which lasted for one year and three months, did not bring down the United States and the world of free capital. It will never be broken. The strong people of America stood up in the bloody storm of this catastrophe. They dusted off the dirt from the ground. Bury the corpses of your family. Wipe away tears from your face. Tighten your belt. Continue to devote yourself to the brutal struggle for capital without hesitation. As a result, the American economy took off again. The Tenryu Foundation is the world's first large-scale ground trust. It is tempered by the storm of this economic crisis. The trust land appeared. It has led a new trend in the entire world of free capital. Free capital has become more and more indestructible in the United States. ”
Lin Haifeng, who was heading towards Shanghai, was actually most eager to get news at this time. It is the situation of Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu leading the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fight on the other side of the Atlantic. If only he could see Junius-Morgan's rhetoric now. He's going to laugh out loud.
