"We are willing to do what we can for the Empire!"

In plain sight, Alphons, who had been pinned on the hopes of bankers to fight against government oppression. Rothschild decisively chose to kneel in the surprised eyes of the banker, and promised Barosh that "as long as the government needs it, we Rothschilds are fully capable of cooperating with all the actions of the government!" ”

After listening to Rothschild's "declaration of loyalty", Baros was a little confused for a while.

My enemies become my teammates?

Baroshe, who originally regarded Alphonse as a hard bone, was bored for a while, and then immediately filled with joy. He looked around at the bankers at the table with a sharp gaze, and from their different expressions, Barosh got an answer.

Alphonse. It is likely that Rothschild's move was not consulted with the bankers present, otherwise they would not have shown such an expression.

Thinking of this, Baros's heart can't help but feel a spontaneous refreshment, like when you are thirsty, a glass of ice water is suddenly placed right in front of you.

Immediately afterwards, Barosh pretended to be Alphonse. Rothschild applauded: "Mr. Alphonse is right! The empire needs entrepreneurs like Alvons who share the country's worries! France also needs to pay to such a responsible bank as Rothschild! ”

There is a way to be a sedan chair man carrying people, Alphons. Rothschild also cheekily praised Baros as a good minister and minister who shared the country's worries, and then put on a preachy face to make the bankers present give up their "little family" for the sake of everyone in the empire.

Some of the bankers present heard Alphonse. After Rothschild shamelessly flattered Barosh and the emperor, not to mention how depressed he was.

You Rothschild bankers have a big business and can reduce your losses by borrowing from major European banks, but these small and medium-sized banks do not have the anti-risk ability of Rothschild.

The slightest twist and turn could put their banks at risk of going bankrupt.

Of course, the so-called small and medium-sized banks are compared with Rothschild's capital chain of hundreds of millions of francs at every turn, and all the bankers who can enter the Barosh table are not banks with millions, or even tens of millions. What they say about no money is just that the capital chain is slightly unable to turn!

But as long as they can stabilize the value of their railroad bonds, they are not at risk of going bankrupt.

Baroshe's reprimand, Alphons's rebellion, and the bankers' pessimism about state intervention led some bankers to a broken jar.

However, now they still dare not point at Barosh's nose and scold Baros for destroying the free economy, and they can only whisper their protests against the government's freezing of railway bonds.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Alphonse...... You're right, the chaos of the end of the empire has stabilized the market and allowed everyone here to make a lot of money! It stands to reason that we are all willing to work with the Empire to help each other out of this difficult situation, even if it means giving up all our possessions for it! One of the bankers said to Barosh, "Only, when the Empire does it!" Why don't you talk to us ahead of time and let us be prepared! Take my bank, for example, in addition to investing in railways, I also invested in government bonds, mines, and a bunch of factories under my hands...... These require a lot of money to maintain. Once there is a mistake in a certain link, then my company will face the risk of bankruptcy due to the shortage of capital chain.

No one can help me fight this risk, and we can only suffer the bitter consequences ourselves. ”

Several bankers who had suffered the same thing agreed with empathy, and then the banker lowered his head and said with a resigned attitude: "Since you have already said that the railway bonds need to be frozen, well, I am willing to pay for the government." But we don't want the government to tell us the results rudely every time after everything has been done! This makes us very passive! ”

These were the words that the banker had the courage to say, and when he had taken them, his heart had already accepted the blow that Barosh might give him next.

After a long time, Barosh, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke, "This ...... Sir, can I think you are just whining at me? ”

"Your Excellency!" The banker hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was the step that Barosh had left him, and he stepped back slightly: "You can think so! Here's a little advice I have for the Empire! We all yearn for a stable political environment where our property and lives are not threatened by mobs, but we all yearn for our freedom to be unrestricted......"

Freedom in the banker's mouth means that they are able to pull out as they please.

"Sir, I don't want to dwell too much on what you call freedom, but if you think the Empire is too harsh on you, then you can go to the land of freedom. The credibility of empires is built on stability, and stability is greater than freedom when necessary. Barosh looked around at the bankers with a distressed expression: "I know that you are not happy with the government's actions in your hearts, but this is also for the sake of the big picture. I can assure you that once the clouds of war have cleared, everything will go back to the way it was, and you don't have to worry about the government continuing to control it.

Truth be told, we don't want to do this kind of offending thing. It's just a necessary means. Presumably, all of you, like me, do not want to see the newly established empire fall into civil strife again! ”

The bankers, who still remember the Revolution of 1848, were naturally reluctant to face that situation again, and the loss of money was one aspect, and more importantly, a threat to their lives.

Therefore, the bankers present did not have much objection to Barosh's proposal to freeze the railway bonds and pay only interest.

As long as the empire is stable, then they will be able to squeeze a steady stream of profits from France.

"And besides, you can't keep your eyes fixed on France! Eastern Europe, and the vast majority of the world, is an uncultivated wasteland! As long as the Empire defeats them, you can not gallop to your heart's content! "The bankers who were naked and on time in Barosh.

The bankers present immediately understood what Baroche meant, as long as the shackles that restricted France were gone, they would not be able to attack cities and land in a frenzy.

"What do you mean...... Will the Empire surely be able to crush the Russian Empire, and then emerge victorious? Ignorant of military affairs, the banker asked Barosh suspiciously.

"I'm sure of it! Our army is well prepared! Barosh nodded in a firm tone and said, "During the war, the empire will produce a large number of orders and war bonds, and these war bonds ......."

Barosh, who had long known the channels of war bonds, deliberately hung the appetites of the bankers.

After hearing the order and the war bonds, the banker, who had been in mourning for approval, immediately swept away the decline and said to Barosh: "Your Excellency, can those war bonds be put in our hands!" ”

"That's right! Can the war bond be handed over to us! Another banker did the same.

Not to mention them, even Baron Hottinger, who had been on the ground all the time, couldn't resist the idea of wanting a piece of the cake, he coughed softly, and the bankers present quieted down after hearing the cough of this life, they knew that Baron Hottinger was going to do something to the "cake".

"Look at you one by one, what kind of system has you become!" Baron Hottinger first put on a didactic face to criticize the bankers present, and then asked with a smile at Barosh: "Your Excellency, I wonder if we need to do this batch of war bonds on our behalf!" We are happy to serve the Empire! ”

Baros glanced at the "cunning" Baron Hottinger. So far, he has not expressed his position, and finally showed his "fox tail".

However, Baron Hottinger still does not have a clear position on the issue of the freezing of railway bonds.

So, Barosh also vaguely said to Baron Hottinger: "The empire will not forget those who have contributed to him!" ”

"Good!" Baron Hottinger made up his mind, he first glanced at everyone present, and then knocked on the table and said, "I don't care what you have in mind, but at this time, we must unite closely around the Empire!" If only I knew who's holding back......"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hottinger's mouth, including Alphonse. All the bankers, including Rothschild, couldn't help but feel nervous.

This guy is no better than James. Rothschild is easy to deal with!

Numerous bankers had just expelled James with the help of the Emperor. Rothschild, in the blink of an eye, met another ruthless character.

"That's it! Guys, I've already said what I need to say! The rest is up to you! Barosh also played a proper round, and he didn't want to make things so stiff.

"Eat! Dine! Baron Hottinger regained his kind look, and picking up his knife and fork again, he cut a piece of steak and chewed it in his mouth.

The rest of the bankers also picked up their utensils again, and the feast lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening.

The bankers left one after another, and Barosh, who watched the bankers leave, couldn't help but shake his head.

11:30 p.m., Alvons. Rothschild returned to the mansion and told in his study what had happened at the Louvre Hotel.

"Hottinger, old fellow!" James. Rothschild couldn't help but shake his head, he regretted the original impulse in his heart.

"Father, should we tell the Austrian side the news?" Compared to Baron Alphons. Rothschild was more concerned about whether to tell the Rothschild bank of Austria the news, he asked in a whisper.

"You're already in charge of the bank, so you have to watch over some things yourself!"
