Even Napoleon was surprised that the second person to stand up for himself was the craziest "financial speculator" of the 19th century.
Eames Rothschild, who was an agent at the Banque de France.
From the speculative history of the Rothschilds, it can be seen that this group of people are a group of bold and careful gamblers, good at high-risk and high-reward speculation, and behind the political events of the entire nineteenth century Europe, there are evil conspiracies in which their capital intervened.
However, the Rothschilds are not like one hand to the sky, as recorded in a book, calling the wind and rain all over the world. On the contrary, before and after the Battle of Waterloo, a series of miscalculations led to a great loss of vitality.
In March 1814, before Napoleon's first exile, Rothschild bought Austrian stocks in anticipation of an imminent bull market in Vienna, Austria and London, England. As a result, in March 1815, Napoleon escaped from Elba and returned to Paris to seize power, and the bull market did not appear. The Rothschilds regained their strength and began hoarding gold and silver in London, predicting that the British government would have to fight on the continent and therefore need to use him to transport money, while he firmly believed that he had "the power to control the market". Unexpectedly, Napoleon's restoration in March and the defeat of Waterloo in June only took three months, and the Rothschilds' money continued to depreciate and became a stall that no one wanted. Nathan Rothschild lost as badly as Napoleon in his gambling frenzy, so much so that the Rothschilds spent years after that looking for opportunities to make up for their losses.
Overly risky speculation has also led to their far less popularity at the Banque de France.
It was clear that the Rothschild representatives in front of him regarded the financing of Napoleon as another big gamble.
Jameson Rothschild inquired about the origin of this guy pretending to be "Napoleon" at the beginning of the Provisional Government, but unfortunately the clue was broken in Les Invalides. He only found out that this guy was from Napoleon's tomb. There are two scenarios before Jameson now.
Either Trochu is playing a big chess game, or this person is really the resurrected emperor.
He certainly chose to believe the former. From the Governor's vigorous behavior in Paris these days, it should be clear that the scattered republicans were no match for him at all. Although all this was done by his "agent" Napoleon, Jameson Rothschild confirmed that Napoleon was the most rewarding venture capital.
Their family saw through the nature of the republicans earlier than anyone else, and the Orleans party was still trying to overthrow the republican form of government, and the Bourbon royalists and Bonapartists in the mix tried to find opportunities in the Congress, but Napoleon alone firmly grasped the military power of France, and united the forces of the various factions, using the military to interfere in politics.
Although he doesn't know how it will end, he is indeed a commander with great eyesight.
The Rothschilds watched from the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War to the present, and decided to act resolutely.
Compared with the hesitant and cowering Hottinger, Jameson stood up directly and said politely to Napoleon, "Counting the Rothschild family, now Mr. Napoleon has two strong supporters. As is the tradition of more than half of the Banque de France, you also need a supporter. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one expected that even the Rothschilds would side with Napoleon.
"I think Mr. Napoleon is better suited to invest than the Republican group. At least I like your style, the Republican Party doesn't have any solution to the problem other than holding a meeting to delay the problem. ”
Everyone turned their heads to the voice, and Mi Wax supported the table with both hands, and raised their chins. He glanced haughtily at the pale-faced Hottinger and said meaningfully, "Of course, the enemy of the enemy is the ally. ”
The Rice Wax family had been at odds with Shried in the iron ore business in Lorraine, and according to Napoleon's conjecture, the first thing they had to do was to cede the disputed Alsace-Lorraine region once Prussia had crushed France, which was a great loss for the Rice Wax family.
Napoleon breathed a sigh of relief, and now that he had a two-thirds vote on the board of directors, the Banque de France would be behind them. Moreover, according to the agreement between them, the positions of Minister of Finance and Minister of Economy would give priority to the agents of the Banque de France, and the three families were satisfied with the chips that Napoleon put on the table.
"You guys!"
William Hottinger stood up angrily, wanting to say something but helpless. Led by the Maritt family, the two other families who are slightly less powerful than themselves are in order to squeeze themselves out of the resolution that will affect the future of the Banque de France. As for the other families, even if they all stand by their side, they will not be able to make up for the disparity in votes.
Hottinger lost, and the board's attitude speaks for itself.
Napoleon smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Since I have the support of the Banque de France, you will not object to whatever I do next in Paris?" ”
Rice Wax was the first to guess Napoleon's plan, and he showed that he didn't care, but in his heart he was gloating, "As long as it does not threaten the foundation of the Banque de France, we will turn a blind eye to everything else." In fact, we would be very grateful to Monsieur Napoleon for everything that has been done to clear some obstacles for the family business. ”
Marit coughed a few times, a muffled voice in her throat, but nevertheless said no interference, provided that it did not threaten the operation of the Banque de France.
A few capitalists did not bring down the banks, but they earned two important ministerial seats in the French government. Capitalists will only act for the sake of profit, as for friendship? Inexistent.
Everyone else was vague in their approval.
Hottinger, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out, kicked over the chair, pointed at Napoleon's back and said angrily, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
Hottinger's mind swelled up with an uneasy thought, and before Napoleon was about to leave the house, he wanted to get an answer from him, "You are against all of Paris!" Don't forget, among the capitalists who oppose you, there are also the Bourbons, there are the Orleans parties, and there are Republicans! Your proposal will not pass! ”
Hearing this, Napoleon stopped.
What Hottinger saw was a grim face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with an evil arc.
Bankers who have dealt with dignitaries from various countries for many years have subconsciously taken a deep breath of cold air, and Jameson Rothschild reminds him of Prime Minister Bismarck, who had dealt with him before the Austro-Prussian War in 1865.
"I'm not against the whole of Paris."
Napoleon whispered, and made a gesture to wipe his neck.
The grim look forced Hottinger to subconsciously take a step back.
"It's just that there is a handful of uncompromising capitalists who want to oppose me, so I will make them remember the nickname of the new master of France."
"It's not just a savior who returns, it's a butcher."
