Chapter 532: Blue-Blood Aristocrat
An hour later.
"Alas," Ji Aojian looked regretful, "Since you have signed, in order to ensure the implementation of the agreement, I have to stop killing you for the time being." β
"Hmph!" Victes also had a look of pity on his face, "If it weren't for the fact that this deal can't be changed, you wouldn't have survived for a while." β
The two of them taunted each other again with the smell of gunpowder, and the Rakshasa ambassador left angrily.
Guta asked, "Sir, don't you really have to duel at the wedding?"
"For the sake of the country, it is not a big deal to let her live a few more days. β
Ji Aojian replied indifferently, and then called the secretary and asked her to prepare the funds for the purchase of land.
"Boss, you're going to buy that hellish place in Alaska?" said Sarah, surprised, "and spent a million pounds?
Ji Aojian shook his head, "How can it be a waste, this deal will be rated as one of the most cost-effective deals in history by later generations." β
"Where's the bargain?"
"The coastline of Alaska, the future division of the resources of the Arctic Circle, and the right of passage of the Arctic Ocean shipping lanes are all very important national interests. Ji Aojian continued, "Even in Alaska itself, it is not a loss to buy a million pounds, I think there must be a gold mine there, as long as it is mined for a few years, the cost will be fully recovered." β
"Sir, you really bought Alaska in the national interest. Guta immediately rejoiced, "Not for the Jewish woman." β
"What's wrong?"
"You were first blackmailed and then forced to marry. Guta said sympathetically, "It's already unfortunate enough. If you spend so much money on that woman, it's not worth it. β
Ji Aojian was stunned. "Hearing you say that, I feel like I'm really unlucky......"
"Although you are about to have an unhappy marriage. But don't take it too seriously. Guta kindly comforted, "If there is no emotional foundation, it is enough to find another lover after marriage." β
"Wait, Guta," Ji Aojian was surprised, "who taught you this kind of thinking?"
"This is the conclusion I have come to after carefully collecting information and analyzing and studying the social conditions in Britain. "As far as I can see, in the aristocracy. Political marriages for the benefit of the family are the norm, and many couples separate after marriage, each looking for their own lover, and maintaining only a nominal marriage. β
"Guta, you can't think like this!" said Sarah angrily, "Marriage is the most sacred event in life, and you must keep your vows and stay with you for the rest of your life." How can you think about finding a lover before you get married?"
Guta blushed and explained. But the gentleman was only a marriage for the sake of profit, and there was no basis for affection between him and the Jewish woman. β
"Even if you don't have an emotional foundation, you can get married first and then fall in love. Make up for this lesson. Sarah said solemnly, "Marriage is not child's play, it is good to love each other sincerely." Marriage or union, as a noble and upright person. After marriage, you should treat your partner sincerely and manage your family with your heart. β
"Ugh. Guta was unconsciously convinced. "Miss Sarah, I think your words are all wise words. β
"Boss, what do you think?" Sarah turned to look at him, "In my heart, you've always been a man who stands up to the sky, and you don't think of marriage as a game, do you?"
"Of course not. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "I'm planning to hold the wedding of the century, how can I not take my marriage seriously?"
"That's right!"
"I remember," Guta reminded, "that Mr. Carlos, it seems like he's been waiting for a long time. β
"Well, please come here. β
As soon as Carlos walked in, he shouted at Ji Aojian, "My dear friend, I heard that you are going to marry a Jew?"
Not again!
Ji Aojian glared at him, "Are you going to say next, can you help you introduce the Jews and try to get some loans?"
"Hey, what do you think?" Carlos said in surprise, "I'm a noble and upright nobleman, why should I borrow money from those damn Jewish vampires?"
Did the noble and upright European aristocracy borrow money from the Jews less often in history, and even the national debt had to be financed by the Jews.
Ji Aojian sneered in his heart and asked, "Then what are you looking for me?"
"It is then, on behalf of the nobility of Europe, and of my concern as a faithful friend, I sincerely advise you that you will carefully consider this marriage contract with the Jews. Carlos sighed, "Those Jews are actually rootless wanderers, with a very low social status, how can they be worthy of a noble and upright lord like you?"
Hey, finally someone thinks that it's not me hugging the thigh of the Jews, but the Jews clinging to me? Ji Aojian thought to himself, sure enough, there are still people who have vision.
The ambassadors of the Confederate States of America and the Russian Empire are all marginal countries of the Western world, and they are all rednecks with little knowledge. Only an old European aristocrat like Carlos from Spain can know that I am extraordinary.
Ji Aojian sighed, "I also think that the Jews are a little unworthy of me. But I have already agreed to the marriage contract and set a wedding date, as a noble and upright knight, how can I go back on it casually?"
"Repentance of the Jewish untouchables, can that be called repentance?"
Carlos said sternly, "My friend, you have married the Jews for nothing more than profit. However, in life, you can't look at money for everything, you can't become a slave to money, and the most important thing is dignity and honor. Once your noble blood is tarnished by the Jewish untouchables, it will be irretrievable!"
"Poof-" Ji Aojian almost couldn't resist a slap in the face.
I just think I'm supposed to be noble, but I don't think Jews are lowly.
In fact, as a people who have wandered for thousands of years and been discriminated against for thousands of years, the social status of the Jews is not at all treated by the traditional European aristocracy. In this era when capital controls the world, the financial power of the Jews is indeed very strong. But the banker group from an aristocratic family is only divided and conquered, and it is far from the point of controlling everything.
Due to the lack of social status and personal rights. The Jews were also used as a rag by the upper echelons of the countries in times of social unrest and economic crisis. It is propagated that everything is the fault of the Jews, and all kinds of newspapers and works that expose financial conspiracies almost all lead people to pour out hatred on Jews. After Ji Aojian came to this era, he found that pamphlets such as "The Rothschild Dynasty" and "The Jews Are Modern Kings" were already ubiquitous and became bestsellers.
Of course, in this harsh anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic environment, the rich and organized Jews were not good men and women, and they were indeed actively instigating all kinds of street riots, workers' demonstrations, civil rights movements, and social revolutions. In this way, it will check and balance the governments of various countries and expand their own living space. Later, as the right to vote became more common in the proportion of citizens, Jewish groups became more sophisticated in using these tactics, starting with the lower classes and street movements, to gain political power to participate in the national game. For example, in the United States, he helped students fight against the Vietnam War, helped blacks engage in civil rights, and picked up star pastors like "I Have a Dream". He also picked up a star president like "We Need Change".
Generally speaking, the Jewish system in the financial group mainly follows the grassroots line, lacks a noble temperament, and has engaged in many movements. There are many black pots on the back, too. The rumors that the Jews are manipulating the world behind the scenes are both true and exaggerated. There is also a bit of diversion. For example, the true degree of the statement that "Wall Street is all Jews" can be understood with reference to "everyone in the world is universal".
For a traditional European aristocrat like Carlos. It's okay to do business with Jews, and it's okay to manipulate the market in partnership. But it was resolute not to allow the Jews to blend into the circle of the real aristocracy, and to kick them down as soon as they found signs of clinging. And when they see the opportunity, they will turn their faces on the Jews at any time, either harvesting, pulling them out of the top tank, or both.
This Siberian marquis from the East has a lot of money, and in Carlos's opinion, if you want to marry in Europe, you should find our noble and upright traditional nobles to be the right match, so why bother to depreciate your status and make fun with the Jews?
"Dude, we've been to visit Master Mishna together. In a formal and serious diplomatic occasion, Ji Aojian forcibly suppressed the urge to draw people, "At that time, you were also impressed by the master's character and talent, don't you think that the master is a noble figure worthy of our admiration?"
"That master, of course, was a very noble lady, but it was a pity that she was not from a good background, and was lowered by the Jews several notches. "Your Excellency, Marquis, you should understand that this marriage is not an alliance with a man, but with the Jews behind her. It's a shame to be in the company of those people!"
"Jews are just being discriminated against in Europe. Ji Aojian was unmoved, "In our China, Jews have always been treated equally, and their social status is no different from that of others. When I return to China with my wife, no one will think that I am disgraced. β
Guta nodded, "We don't discriminate against Jews in Mexico either." β
"No, no, no, my dear friend, you must not have such thoughts. "Europe is the center of the world, and your career has long reached a world-class level, no matter where you are, you can't do without dealing with world powers in this life, and if you have a Jewish wife, it will seriously affect your image in top social situations." β
Ji Aojian coughed, "My fiancΓ©e is so beautiful, how can it affect my image?"
"You should know that's not what I mean. Carlos shook his head, "Besides, there are beautiful women in the world, as long as you nod your head, you can immediately conclude a good relationship with a young lady who is really from a wealthy aristocratic family." β
Ji Aojian asked curiously, "Which young lady is it?" β
"Miss Charlotte Wellesley, who is now fourteen years old, is a jewel of England with her cheerfulness and beauty. β
"You're only fourteen years old and you're willing to come out and get married?" Ji Aojian was not surprised, "This young lady's political consciousness is really not simple!"
"It is also an honour for Miss Charlotte to have such a young and wonderful young man as Her Excellency the Marquis to be her husband. Carlos said solemnly, "She is the granddaughter of the Duke, and she has noble blue blood, and she is good enough to be your match, how can she be compared to the Jews who are not even complete in their citizenship?"
"What, there's someone with blue blood on them?" Guta cried out in fright, "what kind of monster is that?"
Carlos's face suddenly became very unpleasant, and he snorted heavily.
"Guta, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Sarah taught, "This blue-blooded argument is the self-proclaimed name of the European aristocracy, and it was first spread from the Spanish side. β
Guta muttered quietly, "I really don't understand, why do you say that you are blue blood?"
Ji Aojian sighed, "The European nobles rolled up their sleeves, and they could clearly see the blue color of the veins on their snow-white forearms, so they proudly called it blue blood. β
Guta hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and looked down, "It seems that I can't see the blue veins, so I'm not a nobleman?"
"Of course you can't see it, this must be pampered since childhood, not engaged in manual labor, and the skin is as white as snow to make the veins and blood vessels visible. β
Ji Aojian then asked Carlos, "So, this blue-blooded Miss Charlotte, which duke's descendant?"
"Her family background is truly remarkable, her grandfather is the greatest Iron Duke in England!"
"The Iron Duke?"
Ji Aojian thought about this familiar nickname, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are talking about the Duke of Wellington." (To be continued......)
