"And the international situation is also even more unfavorable for Russia." Morgan Jr. added that "the Russians simply don't have enough money to support them to go to the Far East to fight a long war." If you want to fight, you can only borrow money. Uncle Schiff, I think, you can't lend money to the Russians, right? ”

"Of course, I'm not a stupid hat." Jacob Schiff replied.

"Then I believe that Rothschild should not lend money to the Russians either." Morgan Jr. went on to say, "The British have long been unpleasant to the Russians in the Far East, and they are worried that if the Russians take control of Manchuria, they will harm British interests." So it's also impossible for them to borrow money in the UK. Moreover, the British had just finished the Boer War, and it is said that they had spent a lot of money, and now it is estimated that there is no money for activities in the first place. As for Germany, the people have money, but if the Germans are to come up with the money, Russia will have to make a big concession in the Balkans, and I don't think the Russians are willing to make such an exchange. Then the only possibility is France. ”

Speaking of this, little Morgan stopped, took a sip of water, and then said slowly in a mocking tone:

"France and Russia are allies, but it is extremely disadvantageous for France that the Russians really win in the Far East, because it means that for a long time the Russians will continue to devote their forces to the development of the Far East, and the forces they can invest in Europe will be greatly reduced. And this is not good news for France. Didn't the French win over Russia in order to use Russian power to contain Germany? If the Russians were to be victorious, it would have made Russia less able to contain Germany. No matter how you look at it, this is a loss-making thing. Of course, given the friendly relations with Russia, the French may give Russia some symbolic help, but certainly nothing more substantial. Of course, after the battle was fought and the Russians were defeated, the French might have given the Russians some more substantial assistance. ”

"Like, it seems that the strength of the Russian Navy is stronger than that of Japan." Jacob Schiff asked.

"Yes, but the Russian navy is divided into two parts, the Baltic and the Far East, and neither part of them can compare with the Japanese navy. Once the war starts, it is entirely possible that the Japanese will be defeated individually. In addition, according to what we know about the Japanese Navy, their training course is not bad, and it should be much better than that of the Russians. Gladstone replied.

"But the Russians are also white." Jacob Schiff is still a little apprehensive.

Indeed, in this era, the white race is the darling of God, and the racism and political incorrectness of the supremacy of the white race, which now seems appropriate, is almost the mainstream consciousness of society in that era. In the eyes of the whites of that era, only whites could be regarded as serious human beings, and other colored people, could they also be regarded as complete human beings?

Moreover, the pride of the Caucasian race is not without foundation. Since the Age of Discovery, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the white race has been the best in every way. In the war with non-Caucasians, Caucasians have almost never lost, and they are basically crushing victories, what dozens of people destroy an empire, what thousands of people burn down people's palaces, what ...... Anyway, other races other than Caucasians, in the war with Caucasians, make Caucasians feel that there is no difference between hunting.

If Japan were a Caucasian country, and listening to these analyses, there would not even be such a detailed analysis, and Jacob Schiff would have believed that Japan would have won. However, Japan is a country of colored people, a group of yellow-skinned monkeys, and of course it is no problem for them to bully and bully the Qing country, which is also a colored person, because after all, in the world, they are now the colored people who are most like whites, but can they still win against whites?

"Caucasian people will die if they get shot." Greystone said coldly, "Just like our Mr. President, isn't it?" He suddenly remembered what his father had said to him, and he followed the tone of his father when he said to himself: "It is never the color of the skin or anything else that determines the victory, but the power of capital." Now that the capital of the whole world wants the Russians to lose, how can they win? Moreover, you are a Jew, and you sue me, why have the Russians persecuted the Jews so vigorously during this time? ”

"......," Jacob Schiff couldn't answer for a moment. Does this need to be asked? Isn't it a matter of a long cultural tradition to look at Jews since ancient times, and what other reasons are needed for Jews to be treated as a whole? Isn't that a reason to look at you?

"Because they say that the Jews assassinated the previous Tsar......" said Jacob Schiff.

"Do you believe this kind of nonsense?"

"That'...... That's their habitual hatred of Jews...... Because we are infidels...... And they're jealous of our money......" Jacob Schiff had always thought so, but now he felt uneasy to say.

"In this world, there is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason." Again, Greystone appropriated a quote from later generations that Scrooge had borrowed, "Think about why, many years ago, when Western and Central Europe were deporting Jews, Russia was willing to take them in." Think about how the situation is different from then? ”

"I thought ......," said Jacob Schiff, "that Russia was in dire need of money, of factories of all kinds, to keep up with the beats of Europe, and now, now, ......."

"Now the Russian economy is very bad, and the Russians are having a bad time. The whole of Russian society was boiling with discontent, and the danger of revolution was brewing. The farms of the most conservative small landowners are going bankrupt, and the estates of the big nobles are becoming less and less profitable, and even affecting their dignity. And damn it, the standard of decent living is much higher today than it was a few decades ago.

The big nobles were dissatisfied with life, and the life of the serfs who had just been freed was naturally even more difficult, and then the domestic market was naturally insufficient. Moreover, because of the poor level of industry, Russia's industry, not to mention overseas markets, could not even protect its own market, and under such circumstances, factories and banks had a hard time, factories went bankrupt, banks closed, and workers lost their jobs. With so much discontent accumulated, Russia became a powder keg. As long as there is a Mars, it can cause a revolution.

The Russian government cannot sit idly by and watch such anger accumulate, they cannot simply suppress it, they must find a punching bag for this anger, and prepare a pressure relief valve for this society. Now, Mr. Schiff, do you think I have a point? Gladstone said.

"You're right." Jacob Schiff nodded, "The Russian government, unable to solve its economic problems at home, has used my people as a punching bag, a pressure relief valve, to vent social discontent. They deliberately indulged and even encouraged the people to persecute us, and after the thugs took their anger out on my people, they would no longer hate the Tsarist government. These bastards! ”

At the end of the day, Jacob Schiff gritted his teeth.

"But it also shows how fragile the Russian government is at this time." "So, as long as there is a war, as long as the war drags on, the Russian government will not last long under internal and external pressures." Even if on the battlefield, those Russian troops can really be ten by one, even if one Russian is killed and ten Japanese are killed, as long as the war drags on, the Russian government will face the risk of revolution. What's more, can Russians really be counted as completely white? They are nothing more than a herd of grey animals. I don't believe at all that they can play such an exchange ratio. In today's situation, the whole world will support Japan, so there is no suspense at all. Now what really matters to us is how to take advantage of the opportunity to rob Russia and Japan. ”

"Okay." Jacob Schiff said, "Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Morgan, what do you need me to do?" ”
