Hitler trembled with anger, but it was of no avail. Because he was just a vagabond who painted people on the street, what was he compared to the Jews? When people pull out a cold hair, they are thicker than his waist. Therefore, Hitler could only scold, but the hard life still had to continue.

Yuri Orlov was a "damned Jew" in the range of Hitler's revils. But at this time, no one dared to say such a thing to his face, not even the people of the German government. Because in the hands of Yuri Olof there was something so much more important than Hitler's food that he could call the Jewish and non-Jewish merchants who hoarded food "petty traders" with contempt.

Of course, "small trades" can also make money, so Yuri Orloff is also involved in this kind of business. But this is not his main business, his main business is to sell some extremely important things, but for Germany, there are very lacking things, such as rubber, such as rare metals.

"Mr. Orlov, Mr. Fritz has sent you an invitation to attend his reception at the Royal Viking Hotel on Queen Street at half past seven the next evening." Yuri Orlov's butler handed him an invitation.

Yuri Orloff, taking the invitation, glanced at it and set it aside. He knew this Fritz, the owner of a trading company in Hamburg, but Yuri Orlov knew that behind him was the back of the German military-industrial complex and the Juncker officer corps. Scenery.

"Sir, the messenger is still waiting for a reply." The housekeeper reminded.

"Ah, then tell him that I'll be there on time." Yuri Olof said.

……

Two days later......

Fritz's butler, Lutz, is now standing at the door of the Royal Viking Hotel to greet guests. In late autumn, the temperature in Stockholm has dropped below freezing, which is quite cold. However, this is not a problem for those who come and go to the Royal Viking Hotel, because they all have very warm fur clothes, and they will never get cold like a little match girl on a cold night.

Gradually, the guests arrived, some of the Swedish iron ore owners, some Norwegian merchants, and in short, the rich people invited by Fritz.

After the war began, the Nordic countries, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, remained neutral. However, this neutral attitude is still very different. For example, Denmark and Norway, they are directly facing the navy of the British Empire, so their neutrality is quite neutral, basically they will not hook up with Germany while being neutral, but Sweden is different, Sweden's coastline is all on this side of the Baltic Sea, and the navy that the Germans spent a lot of money to build, although it is not enough to challenge the British sea power, compete for the control of the Atlantic, and even has been firmly blocked in the Baltic Sea by the British, but at least in the Baltic Sea, They still have indisputable control over the sea. So Sweden, while neutral, was clearly more German. In the course of the war, Sweden exported large quantities of the most important iron ore to Germany every year.

At this time, a Volkswagen Lincoln sedan drove slowly over. Stopped at the door of the hotel. A waiter hurried forward, opened the door with a white-gloved hand, and Yuri Orlov slowly stepped out of the car with a beautiful woman.

"Welcome, Mr. Onoff. Mr. Fritz is waiting for you inside. Luzer hurried forward to say hello to Yuri Orlov.

Yuri Orlov didn't speak, but nodded slightly—a butler and the like, and didn't need to pay much attention.

Guided by Luzer, Yuri Orloff walked into the hotel and soon met Fritz, who was also carrying a beautiful girl. He was there chatting with a couple of Swedes.

"Ah, Yuri, I haven't seen you in a while." As soon as he saw Yuri Orlov, Fritz immediately raised his glass in his hand and greeted him. Then he turned his head, said a few words to the Swedish merchants next to him, and strode over to Yuri Orlov.

"How's it going?" Yuri Orloff asked.

"Not good." "I heard you have a large batch of rubber, and some sugar and nickel and molybdenum?" ”

"Yes, yes. But, Fritz, you know, it's not easy to get these things these days, it's too risky to transport, and it's too expensive. Yuri Orloff replied.

When Fritz heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he knew that the rubber in the hands of this Jew was not bought from a foreign country after the start of the war, and that the rubber had been hoarded in Sweden before the outbreak of the war. This shrewd Jew probably saw that war was about to break out, so he rented a lot of warehouses in Sweden and stockpiled a large number of important supplies. This includes a lot of rubber.

Even the forces behind this Jewish businessman, Fritz was not unaware of it. Before renting so many warehouses and buying so many materials in one go, although this Jew was a good businessman, he would never be able to do such a big deal with his small business. Yuri Orloff originally had a small bank in Weimar, and before the Alaskan bubble burst, he made a lot of money, and after the bubble burst, although he also had some losses, but by virtue of decisiveness, he still managed to get out of the way and keep most of his profits. But even then, his total assets would not have exceeded a million Reichsmarks. Even if all this money were to be invested in this project, it would not be enough. Behind him, there is also American capital, more precisely, the figure of MacDonald.

Yuri Orloff gets all of his rubber from Panama Canal Company's rubber plantations in Panama and Colombia, his sugar comes from North American Fruit Company's plantations in Cuba, his nickel comes from Cuban mines, his molybdenum comes from North American mines and, crucially, his money comes from McDonald Ventures. So, this guy is actually an important spokesperson for MacDonald. The MacDonald consortium accurately predicted that the war was about to break out, so through this guy, they hoarded a large amount of materials in Sweden that would definitely skyrocket once the war started, so that they could make a good profit after the war. Of course, the MacDonald consortium does not want to offend the British, because the British are their big customers, so it is very normal to find a spokesperson to do this kind of thing. Fritz estimated that the Jew, in the sale of MacDonald's spokesman, might have quadrupled his assets to four million Reichsmarks, and that they were before the war began.

"What a lucky fellow," Fritz thought to himself, "but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to recognize MacDonald's people, to be their spokesman, or else...... These Jews, so hateful, so damned. Soon Fritz came to the same conclusion as Hitler, albeit with a different starting point, but it was a kind of different path.

"Hehe, Yuri, I finally got a bottle of fine French wine, do you want us to taste it together?" Fritz asked.

"Ah, thank you so much, it's been rare since the war began." Yuri Orloff knew that Fritz wanted to talk to him alone, so he replied.

"That's great." Fritz said.

"Mr. Onoff, you haven't introduced me to this beautiful young lady beside you." The woman next to Fritz asked.

"Ah, Miss Vivien, this is my friend Miss Elizabeth." Yuri Orloff said. Apparently he knew Fritz's female companion.

"What a beautiful girl." Miss Vivien said, taking Elizabeth's hand familiarly, "Miss Elizabeth, they men have a whole bunch of boring things to talk about—they're all like this, and they're so boring. Why don't we go over there and sit down for a cup of tea and let them talk about their uninteresting business. ”

"Hmm." Elizabeth nodded meekly and followed Vivien to the side.

"Yuri, let's go over there and talk about it." Fritz said.

……

"No, no, no......" Fritz shook his head like a rattle, "Yuri, this price you gave is too high, to follow this price, we might as well ......"

"You're right, my friend. In peacetime, the price is a bit -- oh, it should be very outrageous. But now are the times of war. Nowadays, smuggling boats have only a little more success rate in crossing the Danish Channel, and you will not know that one out of every ten boats can pass by the apparition of Jesus. So, if you want to rely on smuggling or something, even if you don't consider the cost of ship loss, the price is ten times higher than in normal times. If you consider that for every ten tons you buy, nine tons are to be given to your enemies along with your ships, and you lose experienced sailors, then the rubber you get is even more outrageously expensive, much more outrageous than the price I am now giving. Isn't it? So, the price I'm giving you is already a very, very conscientious price. ”

"But Yuri, we're good friends already." Fritz said the word "good friend" very seriously, although everyone knows that there are only interests in the business field, and there are no good friends, "Can't you give a good friend a little discount?" ”

Apparently, Yuri understood Fritz's words at once, so he took a gentle sip of the blood-red wine in his glass and said, "Well, Fritz, you are my good friend, and you know that I will not let my good friend suffer." But I still have partners, and I can't displease them on the books, don't you say? I wonder if this is the case, the contract price or something is still based on the figure I proposed, as for the actual situation? I also have here a bearer certificate of deposit of one million dollars from a Swiss bank, which can be returned to you as a concession from me. (Yuri bites the word "you" very hard) What do you think? ”

Fritz thought for a moment, reached out and picked up the bottle of wine, poured half a glass for himself and Yuri Orlov, and then he raised his glass to Yuri Orloff and said, "Happy cooperation, Yuri!" ”

"Happy Fritz cooperation!" Yuri Orloff smiled and raised his glass.
