Chapter 94 On the Question of Burma
Ding Yuntong knows that the Rothschilds' financial empire not only includes the past and present, but also the future.
The American poet and writer Ezra Pound once publicly accused the bankers, led by the Rothschilds, of waging the Second Shijie World War and the American Civil War in order to control the banks of Shijie countries.
The family controlled the pricing power of the Shijie gold market for more than two hundred years, and remained so until the twenty-first century.
In China, the Rothschilds are similarly ghostly.
The State Foreign Exchange Investment Corporation of China joined BHP Billiton in the form of equity participation, and the Rothschild family operated behind it.
In China's acquisition of Volvo by Geely Automobile, the Rothschild team played an important role as a financial advisor, intellectual property advisor and government public relations.
The Rothschilds are involved in various deals such as CNOOC's acquisition of Unocal, Nanjing Automobile and SAIC, and China Unicom's $24 billion acquisition of China Netcom Group.
The financial advisors of state-owned enterprises China Mobile and China Unicom, as well as private enterprises such as Little Sheep and Alibaba, are all owned by the Rothschild family.
It can be said that in the previous life, it was a party and a family that ruled China.
But even then, the family could not change anti-Semitism throughout Europe at this time.
It was an anti-Semitic era, and the whole of Europe hated the Jewish people.
Antisemitism has a long history and complex causes.
First of all, religiously, although Christianity was originally born out of Judaism, when Christianity became the dominant religion on the European continent, Judaism has been questioning the legitimacy of its status, denying the Christian scriptures , and even denying that Jesus is the Christ and the Messiah.
According to the Bible, the Jewish priests arrested Jesus and handed him over to the Romans. The Jewish mob then besieged the Roman Doge's Palace, forcing the Roman governor Pirat, to imprison, torture, and crucify Jesus.
In John 8:44, St. John accuses the Jews: "You are the children of the devil, and therefore you inherit his desires." ”
In Thessalonians 2:15-16 > the < New Testament, St. Paul says, "How disrespectful they were to God and how hostile they were to mankind when they killed the Lord Jesus and persecuted us!" "
Moreover, the fact that Jews have always adhered to their religious and cultural traditions and refused to blend in with their surroundings, no matter where they are, has led to exclusion. Therefore, the Christian churches in various European countries have always declared that the Jews are infidels and have been educating in anti-Semitism for two thousand years.
This is the religious basis of anti-Semitism.
Economically, because Jews had always been regarded as infidels, their employment was restricted, and many were confined to business and finance, especially usury. Christians were forbidden to lend money, so Jewish lending was seen as a "sinful act" and became synonymous with vampires. Shakespeare's portrayal of Shylock, a Jewish loan shark, in The Merchant of Venice, is a reflection of true history. With their ingenuity and exploiting the law, they soon amassed a large amount of wealth, which became the object of envy and hatred of the locals, as well as the target of government plunder to solve the financial crisis.
This is the economic basis of anti-Semitism.
Politically, since Jews are a minority, they have a superior economic position but lack political status, which makes them very vulnerable. In order to divert the attention of domestic contradictions and class struggles, and to shirk their own responsibility for ruling, the rulers often use the Jews as "scapegoats" and transfer the hatred of the people at the bottom to the Jews. It is a strategy of domination, and when an enemy is created, the people rally around the ruler.
This is the political basis of anti-Semitism.
In addition, in terms of appearance, there are still some differences between purebred Jews and Europeans, showing some Asian characteristics, which also gives white Europeans a sense of racial superiority.
It is difficult for them to tolerate the higher economic status and richer material life enjoyed by the lower ethnic groups.
It is precisely because of such complex historical and practical reasons that Europe has become unsuitable for Jewish life. This made Ding Yuntong firmly believe that the Rothschilds would inevitably cooperate with him, because he could show the Jewish people a way out.
For this reason, Ding Yuntong carefully selected a person to go to Europe to negotiate with the Rothschilds, and this person was Tang Shaoyi. That is, the first prime minister of the Republic of China in the previous world, and last year, he just returned from studying at Columbia University in the United States.
This man is knowledgeable, open-minded, very capable of working, and eloquent. In his previous life, he had repeatedly thwarted British attempts in Tibet and was the most suitable person for negotiation.
The next day, Ding Yuntong carefully analyzed the causes and consequences for Tang Shaoyi in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and asked him to go to London, England to find a man named Little Nathan. Rothschild's people taught him what to say and how to say it until Tang Shaoyi fully understood. He also told him that he was going to set up a tax department under the Ministry of Finance to supervise the customs and control Hurd, Mu Linde and other foreigners. As long as the matter is successful, let him be the director of the tax department, at the level of deputy minister.
Tang Shaoyi listened, and was excited and grateful, you must know that he was only twenty years old at this time, and it was really difficult to protect his body with such a grace.
Looking at Tang Shaoyi's back, Ding Yuntong secretly thought: "Guo Songtao has received my great favor and wants to limit the imperial power. This Tang Shaoyi was also full of democracy and republic in his last life, let's see what will happen in this life. If you go with me, you will be reused, and if you don't go with me, you will suffer in the future, it depends on how he chooses. "
At this moment, his subordinates sent a secret letter, and Ding Yuntong opened it to see that it was sent by Wu Dayi, who was an envoy to Burma. In the letter, Mr. Wu described the grave crisis in Burma, in which the country was in danger of being annexed by the British at any time. On the one hand, the Gongbang dynasty was arrogant and even despised China. It was infuriating to reject all of his proposals to build roads, lay power lines, send students to students, and increase contacts with each other.
Wu Dashi also said that either this year or next year, Britain will send troops to occupy the entire territory of Burma and ask for an early start in Burma.
Wu Dayi's suggestion made Ding Yuntong quite tempted, should he change Jihua and start a war against Myanmar in advance?
After some sober reflection, although Myanmar is rich in resources and mouth-watering, Ding Yuntong still suppressed this temptation because it was not in line with his overall strategy.
Historically, it wasn't until 1885 that the British really got their hands dirty, so there is no need to rush for the time being. Moreover, if you do it now, it will cause a conflict with Britain and directly affect the future war with Japan.
Ding Yuntong had seen the declassified British diplomatic archives in his previous life, and the core of all British policy in Asia was India, and for Britain, protecting British rule in India was overwhelming. In the next few years, Russia's Shili will be close to Afghanistan in northern India, which will greatly irritate the British. In the previous life, Britain did not hesitate to support Japan and form an alliance with Japan in order to contain Russia. Then in this life, he can take advantage of this and hint to Britain that he is willing to contain Russia, so that in the future Sino-Japanese war, Britain can be neutral. If we attack Burma now, it will destroy this atmosphere, and Britain will inevitably support Japan to contain China, which is not cost-effective.
As long as Japan is hit hard, and Japan's development is constantly suppressed, so that it cannot pose a mortal threat. At that time, you can let go and compete with Britain for Burma, Thailand, Nepal and other countries.
With that in mind, he put the letter aside.
(ps. There is a change tonight, Xiexie everyone's support, the next will be more exciting, the male pig's feet will be fought on two fronts at home and abroad, interested friends will accept the prodigal son!) )
