Chapter 209, The Original Sin of the Jews

In times of economic hardship, there are naturally a lot of demonstrations, because first, if life is not good, there will naturally be resentment, and secondly, because there are many unemployed people, and it is okay to stay at home anyway, and it is easy for people to come out to demonstrate as soon as they are agitated. However, under normal circumstances, as long as the first wave of this kind of political demonstration does not form a riot or something, it is difficult to continue for a long time later, this is also because of economic difficulties, everyone has no money, and they need to constantly find opportunities to earn money to support themselves, so for such a political reason, it is absolutely impossible to gather in a certain area to demonstrate for a long time under normal circumstances. But after several days, the men gathered near the construction site and interfered with the movement of goods.

"It's certainly not right." Rochek said to Tim, "Mr. Tim, if they can stay here, there must be someone behind to provide material support, otherwise it will never be possible." Our guys are already staring at these guys, and it shouldn't be long before we get to the bottom of it. ”

……

"These guys are really interesting." Scrooge laughed, "Unexpectedly, we are not the only ones who want to play the bottom copy." But they still think that France is not in bad form enough? They're greedy. Dorothea," Scrooge said, turning his head to Dorothea, who was shaking her child, "you say, are all the Jews so greedy?" ”

"Shh Dorothea lowered her voice and said, "The little one has just fallen asleep, don't wake him up." "This little guy has a bad habit, that is, when he sleeps, he always needs someone to hold him in his arms and shake him around, and he can fall asleep slowly, but he is extra vigilant, especially when he has just fallen asleep, almost the slightest wind and grass can wake him up. And once he woke up like this, don't look at the little guy who came into this world with a smile, but once he woke up halfway through his sleep, his cry almost shattered the windowpane. And, um, as soon as you put him down, he'll wake up almost instantly.

Scrooge opened the door and gestured. Cherie, the maid who was waiting outside, hurriedly walked over. She nodded to Dorothea, then carefully took little Greystone, and continued to sway him slightly in her arms so that he could sleep. Well, it usually takes more than an hour to hang around like this for the little guy to really fall asleep before he can put it to bed.

Cherie went to the nursery with the baby in her arms, and Dorothea came up and asked, "Are those Jews?" ”

"Well, they tracked down someone who was giving money to the demonstrators, and it came from the 'Tangral Bank', well, it's a medium-sized bank, it's more than 100 years old, and it has a good reputation in Paris. Because of the failure of the investment in the Franco-Prussian War, his owner, Mr. Tangral, had to sell his shares in the bank to the Rothschilds, which was still called the 'Tangral Bank' but had little to do with the Tangral family. Scrooge explained.

"These greedy Jews deserve hell. Jews are not a good thing!" Dorothea said, "Or we'll let the people of Blackwater teach them a lesson." ”

"Do you mean to kill their important people with guns or simply send this bank to the sky with a wagon of explosives?" Scrooge smiled, "If this had happened in the United States, maybe we could have done it, but, Dorothea, you know, it was in Europe, not in the United States. There, people are the snakes of the land, and the Rothschilds have been entrenched there for hundreds of years. We go to play hard with them, and we may not play with them. After all, it's their territory. ”

"But we're going to let them do that?" Dorothea looked dissatisfied.

"How is that possible? France is an important stronghold of our power on the European continent, and we have no room to back down on such a strategic issue. Moreover, Rothschild, although strong, was not without weaknesses. "Perhaps, we should go and talk to Joshua, but before we do that, we have something to prepare." ”

……

"Uncle Joshua, your letter!" There was a soft knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in." Joshua said as he looked up from his desk. He could hear that it was the voice of his assistant and nephew Marfa, who had been in a good mood for the economy recently, and that the railroads under Joshua's plate were soaring, so he was in a good mood. And, because of his family's connections, Joshua knew that more money was coming from Europe, especially from France, to the United States. The flow of these funds must go through the guò banking system, so the Rothschilds, who control the largest banking system in Europe, naturally have all kinds of information about the flow of these funds, which is one of the reasons why the Rothschilds can always take advantage of this kind of speculation. Recently, however, the pace of capital outflows from France seems to have slowed a bit, which may be related to the MacDonald's family's investment in France, according to family analysis. This is not uncommon for everyone to see the tendency of the railroads in the United States to overheat, and the MacDonalds' investments have given some French money limited optimism about the future development of France. This slowed down the pace of capital flight from France, which was clearly not in line with the need to continue to speculate on the American railroads, nor the need for the Rothschilds to buy French companies at low prices. Maybe you should find a time to talk to Scrooge.

By this time, his assistant Marpha had already walked in and handed Joshua a letter.

"It was from MacDonald's people." Marfa said.

Joshua took the letter, and it was a large envelope, very large and thick, as if it contained a lot of paper. Joshua tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and looked at it. Gradually, his face began to turn pale, and finally, Joshua couldn't help but curse fiercely: "Bastard! Who's messing around! What the hell is going on in that part of France! ”

"What's wrong, Uncle Joshua?" Marfa asked.

"These guys are in the French media to encourage locals to interfere with Mr. Scrooge MacDonald's power plant project. They are so unreasonable, for the sake of infighting, they actually dare to do this! Well, Marfa, you can also take a look! Joshua handed the letter to Marfa, who took it and quickly skimmed through it.

The new letter paper consists of two parts, one of which is the content of the French newspaper and the information on the source of funding for the demonstrators. From these materials, it is not difficult to see what the Rothschilds are doing in France.

"While MacDonald's investment has certainly affected the family's investment in France, we could have negotiated with them first, rather than going to war with them directly. Although in Europe they are not as powerful as us, in North America they are simply too easy to find us in trouble. "They, I mean, are some people in the family deliberately trying to make a fool of us?" ”

Unlike MacDonald, who has a sparse population, the Rothschilds, who have a history of hundreds of years, are definitely thriving. In the MacDonalds, as long as you have MacDonald's blood in you, as long as you are not a complete fool, you will definitely be reused. But this is not the case with the Rothschilds. You have to do better than many people in order for you to gain favor from the top and become a significant figure in the family in the future. Joshua had already made a stern mistake in matters concerning North America, and like many others, after the outbreak of the American Civil War, he decided that the United States would break up and become a country similar to South America, so the family retreated from North America, mistimed it too much. He was constantly blamed for this, and now the family returned to North America to try to regain roots, and he finally got back to this opportunity to make amends. But apparently, there are people who don't want to see him succeed in North America.

As for the second part of the letter, there is a large number of Rothschilds supporting Prussia before the Franco-Prussian War, and thereafter shorting France, then lending usury, and buying French resources and factories at low prices.

"Uncle Joshua, this is all nonsense. Some of the deals mentioned here haven't been made at all. Marfa said, "What does it mean that Macdonald's men are sending this?" ”

"It's not about what we do, it's about who others believe." Joshua sighed, "Most of the specific deals mentioned above are made up, and the MacDonalds have limited power on the continent, and they may not be able to investigate those specific transactions very clearly. But in the general direction, they are not wrong. We did support Prussia in the capital markets, and we did short France. On the European continent, we expose Scrooge in the newspapers. He's sending this now, which means they're going to advertise it in the newspapers as well. Although most of the details in this are false, but, Marfa, you sue me, do those French people want to believe this? ”

Marfa stayed for a long time, and then said, "Uncle, the French will believe it." Losers are always reluctant to admit that failure is because they are too bad, and are more willing to blame others. That's one of the reasons why they immediately believed our propaganda about MacDonald. Moreover, we are Jews, and we are naturally suspicious and despised by them. If they propagated it like this, the French would have believed it. ”

"You're right, it's our greatest weakness, we're evil heretics, that's our original sin! Just say bad things about Jews, and no one won't believe them. We are rich, we are powerful, but our strength is never comparable to that of the country, and we Jews have no homeland. Even if we are genuinely willing to be loyal to a country, they will not trust us. Once such a large-scale propaganda war is fought, the situation in Eastern Europe may be repeated in France. Joshua sighed again.

"However, the Germans will support us." Marfa said.

"What about the British? You should be clear about their consistent policy, and now they are on the side of Germany. Wise? In fact, the United States is the best refuge. Pity...... Well, let's get ready, and we're going to pay a visit to Mr. MacDonald. ”
