Chapter 1019: Look at the Change in the Eyes (Three More!) )

Menton, France, a small town close to the Holy Roman Empire.

With a population of more than 40,000 people, this town is one of the largest towns in France.

Especially because it is located on the border and close to the Holy Roman Empire, the economy here is very developed.

At the same time, it is precisely because of its proximity to the Holy Roman Empire and its proximity to the towns under the control of the Church that there are many church buildings in the town of Menton.

At the beginning, the Volunteer Army of the Americas fought a few battles with the Holy Roman Empire not far from Menton. Fortunately, the strong firepower of the volunteers repelled the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, which did not lead to the capture of Menton.

If there had been no American Volunteer Army, Menton would have fallen into the hands of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire's army would have been driven straight in.

Now the positions of the Volunteer Army of the Americas have been taken over by Portuguese reinforcements, and the Volunteer Army has returned to the port of Marseille.

But even if the American Volunteer Army retreated to recuperate, the military commanders of the Holy Roman Empire on the border line, who had suffered a great loss, were still reluctant to let their troops advance.

During this period of confrontation with Portugal and France, the Holy Roman Empire had already wiped out more than 100,000 troops, which can be described as very heavy losses.

You have to know how much the population of all Europe is in this era.

The loss of a full 100,000 people has already broken the bones of the Holy Roman Empire.

Fortunately, the whole of Europe is now in turmoil, and most of the countries have joined or united with the Church, otherwise the Holy Roman Empire would have had a lot of fun.

It is precisely because of such a large loss that the army on this line of the Holy Roman Empire will not move forward further.

Because they all know that the American volunteers on the opposite side have powerful methods.

Even if they were replaced by the Portuguese, they still didn't want to touch their heads.

Therefore, when the other fronts were exchanging fire, it seemed very calm here.

And the Portuguese reinforcements who took over the positions of the American Volunteers. I also picked up a cheap one.

Because the opposing Holy Roman Empire army was broken, the other side would not take the initiative to attack at all.

Therefore, as long as the Portuguese do not take the initiative to attack, then the two sides will definitely have to face off here.

No wars, no deaths, that's great.

And because of the truce here, the Menton area has once again returned to prosperity.

At the same time, Jewish merchants from the Holy Roman Empire became active.

They smuggled large quantities of food and spices from Menton, as well as other supplies back to the Holy Roman Empire to make huge profits.

For these Jewish merchants and smugglers from within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. The Imperial merchants stationed in Menton were basically blind to each other.

As long as the other party gives real money, who cares who they are.

Basically, the merchants gathered in Menton, led by the Imperial merchants, had the same attitude towards the Jewish smugglers from the Holy Roman Empire.

And because of the huge amount of smuggling, gangsters organized by Jews also emerged at the border, monopolizing the entire smuggling trade.

Yes, Jewish smuggling gangs.

Throughout the history of Europe, the Jews were in fact very successful in business. In fact, they also shine in the whole side business.

Usury!

Commercial Fraud!

Jewish gangsters!

Smuggle!

Even the control of the prostitution industry is also a presence of Jews.

But in any industry that makes money, whether it is white or underworld, Jews must participate in it.

For Jews. They just need to make money, and whether it is legal or not is not a matter for them to consider.

Moreover, the Jewish gangsters in history are also quite powerful.

Even in recent history. Jewish gangs were active in the United States and were once very prosperous.

Especially during the Prohibition era, Jewish gangsters and ethnic gangsters popped up.

They make a lot of money in money.

Of course. Over time, the Jewish gangsters all transformed when they got rich.

But that's hundreds of years later.

In the seventeenth century, it was the time when Jewish gangsters were rampant.

It is definitely not alarmist that wealthy Jewish businessmen are organized, and their strength can even subvert a country.

At this time, many countries and even kings in European countries owed money to the Jewish merchants.

Before the alliance with the Song Empire, France owed usury to the Jewish merchants, and for this reason, France had to pay the Jewish merchants high interest every year, and the interest alone exceeded the principal for several years.

After allied with the Song Empire, France owed money to the Jewish merchants, which was paid off in a lump sum by the Song Empire. So when the French had to pay interest every year, those high interest rates were transferred to the Song Empire.

Of course, the interest rate on borrowings in the Song Empire was always lower than that of the Jewish usury.

Warren Buffett is a Jewish gangster active in the Menton area, and he also controls the prostitution business in the Menton area, as well as various pawn businesses, and he also participates in Menton's smuggling of the Holy Roman Empire.

It can be said that this guy Buffett is the king of Menton here.

And it is no accident that the Jews were able to control such a large organization and form a large-scale underworld.

Because Jews are good at making money, and good at making big money, and the usual Jews are much richer than the average person. So they tend to rely on lending to other people to make themselves more people.

The king can borrow money from the big merchants, but what about the commoners?

They also have an emergency when they need money.

So, the small merchants among the Jews appeared.

However, after the loan is gone, they must always ensure their own interests.

You must know that people who pay their debts will meet them for a long time, and when they meet people who deliberately borrow money and do not pay it back, then what should they do?

So, Jewish merchants, big or small, hired some hard-hearted guys to work for them. This formed the rudiments of a small gang.

With the expansion of their capital, they will gradually absorb more and more thugs around them, and their power will become greater and greater, and at the same time, their capital will become more and more abundant, and it will slowly extend to other industries.

As they developed, the Jewish merchants also needed more men to ensure that their interests were not violated.

In this way, the Jewish gang slowly took shape.

Of course, Jews generally like to hire Jews, because everyone is the same. As long as the money is enough, they will give you serious work, and the work is done beautifully.

As a result, Jewish gangs were largely large in size in this era.

However, these Jewish gangsters are regional and somewhat xenophobic.

Jewish gangs from elsewhere entering their own areas can lead to a lot of conflict.

They don't see anything to be upset by the fact that both sides are Jews.

The Jewish gangsters clashed, and the attack was even more vicious.

Because for the Jews. Face and anything else don't matter, you can not give me face or laugh at me, but you must not infringe on my interests and wealth.

Warren Buffett is one such person.

He was the boss of the Jewish underworld in Menton, and he was only twenty-seven years old.

Such a young man. actually controlled such a huge business, and his wealth continued to grow every day. In particular, the commodities of the Song Empire brought him an endless increase in wealth.

Here in the Menton area, it's important to say who Warren Buffett is best for. It must have been someone from the Song Empire.

Because of the official trading members of the Marseille concession of the Song Empire stationed in Menton, they brought commercial prosperity to Menton, and Buffett made a lot of money for it. So how could he be bad to the Song people.

For the Jews, those who can bring them wealth, then they will be offered as if they were ancestors.

Face and whatever, it's not important.

Only real money is the most important thing.

At the same time, the Jewish Presbyterian Church sent him a more profitable commodity, 'Ice', and when the Presbyterians explained to him the usefulness of this little thing, Buffett sensitively sensed the profiteering of this thing.

Therefore, in addition to controlling the existing black and white business of Menton, the current Buffett has also opened up a drug network.

For a time, the number of Jewish thugs in Buffett's organization skyrocketed, and each of them peddled this kind of good thing that could make people flutter and have whatever they wanted.

For all this, the trade members of the Marseille Concession will record them one by one in their own notes, and at the same time they will report everything they see and come into contact with to Marseille.

Menton's war-torn commercial boom broke out, and smuggling brought large sums of money to the people of Menton.

Although Warren Buffett controls most of the buying and selling, there is still a lot of buying and selling for the average person.

After all, as a Jew, Warren Buffett knows one thing, and that is that he can't eat alone.

If you eat alone and don't leave a way for others to live, then you are not far from death.

Therefore, what he controls is basically the bulk purchase and sale of commodities, or the monopoly transaction of a certain commodity.

These commodities are all profiteering in nature and can make a lot of money.

But some other goods can also make money, but the profit is a little small, or it is a more troublesome product, and Buffett will not touch it at all.

In this way, the trade of goods like this is left to other people.

So, Warren Buffett is smart.

After someone else has a way to live, the jealousy for him is always smaller.

What's more, Buffett also has a smuggling team.

Besides, he doesn't have so much experience, and he monopolizes so much commodity trade at once.

But in any case, the economy has become developed here because of the prosperity of smuggling. The people here have made money, enough wealth for them to squander.

This person, having money must be enjoyable, especially for these originally extremely poor people in the Menton area, such a sudden wealth makes them wonder how many catties and taels they weigh.

After having money, they get drunk every day and spend all the money they earn.

Anyway, the money is gone, and the next day I just go to smuggling.

They can definitely make a lot of money and then continue to splurge it.

People's hearts are extremely empty, and the appearance of 'ice' has filled people's needs in this regard at once.

Even, the satisfaction of 'ice' is greater than that of alcoholism and prostitution.

So in a very short period of time, 'ice' immediately became popular in the Menton area, and people tried 'ice' as a trend, if you say you haven't tried it, then you are definitely looked down upon.

Those who can try 'ice' here are a symbol of wealth and status, because the price of 'ice' has skyrocketed after the free period has recently passed, and people who don't have the strength can afford it.

But anyone who can come every day is definitely a rich man.

In order to make money and become a person of status, you can get some 'ice' to show off, and the smuggling business in the Menton area has become more prosperous.

Even for this, the smuggling king Warren Buffett did not think of it.

In order to make money and be able to continue enjoying ice, these guys burst out with great energy.

For all this that happened in Menton, the Imperial merchants saw it in their eyes, remembered it in their hearts and in their notebooks.

All these changes and developments still make them very satisfied.

Yes, these members of the trade were actually members of the Intelligence Department of the Empire and the Concession, and the order given to them was to let them observe the spread of 'ice' in Europe, and the people's dependence on this thing, as well as some specific changes brought to Europe by the spread of this thing.

In the middle of the town, on a bustling crossroads, there are many taverns and shops. Originally, Menton was not a very economically developed place, but since the smuggling, people have come here to pan for gold.

Gypsy entertainers, Parisian prostitutes, thieves, swindlers, beggars, and well-dressed merchants flocked to Menton.

The arrival of these people caused a breakdown in law and order, but it also brought about a deformed prosperity.

In the tavern, members of the Empire's merchants sat at the bar, whispering to each other while looking around.

There are not many customers in the tavern, but the guests are dressed quite well, and they are very clean and tidy, which is very different from ordinary people.

It can be seen that the people who come to this tavern are some relatively wealthy people.

It's not like other taverns at all, the customers inside are vulgar and smelly.

At this moment, several strong men dressed in tight-fitting European-style seventeenth-century leather jackets hurriedly walked in from outside the tavern with a guy who had been beaten to the shape of a pig's head.

Although their arrival, the peace of the tavern was shattered.

"Boss, this guy took three of us ice, but he hasn't paid us for a month."

As a strong man with a pig's head spoke, the members of the Imperial Commerce and Trade sitting at the bar glanced at each other, and the same thought came to their minds...... Drug addict...... (To be continued......)
