Soros cut off a piece of bloody beef with a knife, forked it and slowly put it in his mouth, and carefully chewed it for a while.

"He's a hundred times scarier than you think. Although the colonization cause can be lucrative, it is based on the massive investment in the early stage.

It is a pity that the Netherlands and Portugal, which were powerful in the ocean, are still paying off the debts of the Great Voyage era to this day. ”

The so-called word is nothing more than waking up in a dream, and Solomon Rothschild immediately restrained his smile. He never imagined it would be so complicated.

This time, even he almost fell into the trap designed by a ghost, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"What do you mean, just an excuse to cover people's ears?"

The other man smiled but did not answer, and looked at the embarrassed King His Majesty while drinking.

Solomon didn't have the frame of a senior at all when he got along with this junior, and continued to ask shamelessly.

"Now the good news announced by the royal family is just to whet our appetite, and the so-called dividends are simply a cover?"

"That's right, in fact, this time the construction of the railway is also a cover. Before a huge amount of money went into the railroad companies, many routes were not even built at all.

And I learned through a secret source that the money that should have been used for these sections of the road was transferred to Mexico. ”

Although Soros seemed to be confident in his words, he didn't quite understand what Grand Duke Franz was doing in his heart. After all, this seemingly unfavorable move for the Empire did happen.

Therefore, even a genius like him, who has transcended history for a hundred years, needs to listen to other people's opinions, and maybe he can solve his own doubts.

"It's nothing, Austria has contracted a piece of land in Mexico that is not very popular, but it has found gold in the area, and it is still a rich mine.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 Imperial soldiers in California, and they controlled almost all of the indigenous people in the area. Today's miners, farmers and even prostitutes are transported from elsewhere. ”

Solomon did have his own sources of information, but there was unanimous opinion that Tasan Anna was a profitless and lustful tyrant.

They were all sure that one day the wealthy Mexicans would be tempted to use force against California, and that even if they had dug up gold, the Austrians would not be able to transport it back home.

On the contrary, the war with Mexico will eventually make one of the United States and France the ultimate winner on the North American continent, and Mexico will be completely removed from the competition.

"It's interesting that the Habsburgs are so attached to gold." Soros laughed, and he felt that Meritra was the Promised Land for the Jews.

Playing a game of death with such a dangerous opponent on the continent is far better than going there and making a fortune by muffled, after all, if it weren't for that damn John Taylor, the United States would now be the territory of the Jewish financial consortium.

Perhaps more efforts should have been made to stop that traitor to the Democratic Party from coming to power.

In fact, John Taylor's ascension to the presidency was a real surprise to people at the time. Except for Franz, no one knew that Harris Sr. would fall ill and die as soon as he came to power.

The former, like Andrew Jackson, was the ultimate fan of the United States Constitution, and once he came to power, he did not hesitate to offend the big rich and thwarted the conspiracy of the financial syndicate to control federal power.

Andrew Jackson's epitaph contained only a short sentence, "Look, I killed that bank." ”

John Taylor, like the former, attacked the financial consortium soon after taking office, but he has already offended too many bankers, and the end is not destined to be too good.

Solomon and Soros have their own agendas, one determined to conquer the United States, while the other decided to stay in Vienna.

The previous marriage plan was scrapped, and after dinner, Soros decided to take his leave. Solomon knew that the other party was on guard against him, and did not deliberately hold back.

Although it may not be wise to invest in the so-called Austrian Royal Family Overseas Development Company now, if the empire extends its power outward, then the price of steel and arms will definitely soar in the future.

Solomon intended to invest in industry, because he foresaw that Austria would be drawn into a long war in the future, and that it would need its help, both internally and externally, as well as for the empire and its enemies.

"As soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold." This is a maxim that has always been revered by their family.

In order to ease relations with the royal family, it is crucial to find a worthy substitute. Thanks to herself, the story of Soros reached the ears of her boss through that cunning and seductive woman.

Soros had already made up his mind to go to the United States, and originally wanted to take the opportunity of his marriage with the Rothschilds to hide for a while in the Caesars Hotel, the most dangerous place in the empire.

However, when the other party did not make this request, he had already seen that his situation was no longer safe, and fortunately everything was prepared.

Not long after he left the Caesars Hotel to board the carriage, Vienna's lighting system went wrong, and a gas pipe leak exploded, plunging the entire city into darkness.

By the time the lighting system was restored, Soros was no longer to be found.

During this period, lighting was mainly based on gas lamps, and in 1807 Britain became the first city in the world to be lit by gas lamps.

Soon the technology spread throughout Europe, and gas lamps were used in major cities at the time.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is no exception, but there are some inherent drawbacks to gas lighting, such as dark smoke and unpleasant smells

One of the biggest disadvantages is that it is easy to be used by people to cause explosions and fires.

Solomon did not send any men in pursuit, but returned to the table and swept away the scraps.

The old housekeeper on the side was very puzzled by the behavior of this "His Majesty the King", after all, he usually did not drink sweet springs, and did not eat unless he practiced it.

Even if there is a non-standard arrangement of leaves in a dish, the subordinates will be ordered to pour it out and redo it. And today I actually put those leftovers

"Sir, the food is already cold." The old butler kindly reminded.

"So what? The most important function of food is to fill the stomach, and it does not matter the occasion or type. ”

So saying, Solomon rubbed the bread that had been used as a tableware on the plate, and did not spare even a drop of oil and water.

"No one of your own, no one can take it away, no one can!"

To be honest, Franz did have murderous intentions against Soros, but the most successful way is to get Adjani close to him, and he may lose a general.

The rest of the way can only be to send more people to find opportunities, but this will be more costly, not to mention that it is very unrealistic to find a target in the vast sea of people.

Instead of working hard, it is better to go directly to some non-governmental organizations to draw prizes. Offering a bounty is a great way to save yourself from infamy and lighten your burden, so why not?
