Chapter 24 Rothschild
Pang Jindong nodded: "I think so too!"
"Then let's just enjoy it in peace!" Miliya fumbled to find the refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of wine and a few glasses, and then said: "It seems they have prepared well for us!"
Pang Jindong took the wine and filled it up, and said with emotion in Chinese: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow."
The three of them drank freely while enjoying the scenery along the way.
After driving on the mountain road for about an hour, the car arrived at a villa full of Nordic style. The Jew from before took Pang Jindong and others to the study of the villa.
In the study room stood a man who was over 40 years old. The little black hat on his head indicated that he was also a Jew.
"Hello, Mr. Pang, I am Otto Rothschild." When this man saw Pang Jindong, he shook hands warmly.
Otto Rothschild is of medium height and very strong. Like the two Jews, his first impression alone can give people a very shrewd impression. Pang Jindong noticed carefully that he had no beard.
Beards have extraordinary significance to the Jews. Legend has it that Adam had a lot of beards, so the Jews regarded beards as a gift from God. The Old Testament stipulates that men should not shave their beards and sideburns. Jews in Israel still abide by this commandment.
The habit of shaving is very common among Jews in other places. However, the Rothschild family strictly follows Jewish precepts. Judging from Otto Rothschild's delicate and smooth chin, he should not have shaved his beard, but
Not long at all.
This seemingly insignificant issue is actually crucial because it is related to a will left by the elder Rothschild, the founder of the Rothschild family business.
Since learning that Senator Reavie's backers were the Rothschild family, Pang Jingdong paid attention to collecting a lot of information about this family and even other famous Jewish families.
Since the Rothschild family has always been shrouded in mystery, many rumors about the family have become popular, some of which are true or false. Pang Jingdong learned that there is such a statement that has been indirectly recognized by other Jewish families. About two hundred years ago
, the old Rothschild—Meyer Rothschild—made five requirements for his descendants before his death.
First, all important positions in family banks must be held by family insiders, outsiders must not be appointed, and only male family members can participate in family business activities;
Second, insist on intermarriage within the clan to prevent the dilution and outflow of wealth;
Third, property information is absolutely not allowed to be announced to the public;
Fourth, lawyers are absolutely not allowed to get involved in property inheritance.
Fifth, the eldest son of each family serves as the leader of each family. Only with the unanimous consent of the family can another second son be selected to take over.
The old Rothschild had five sons, who were engaged in financial businesses in five countries. The family later continued to branch out and grew larger, creating the Rothschild financial empire. At the same time, within two hundred years,
Always stick to this will.
Although Jews have continued to intermarry with foreign races for various reasons in history, and there are even dark-skinned Jews in North Africa, judging from the second stipulation of this will, there should be no foreign blood mixed in Otto Rothschild.
Opportunity. In other words, the genetic characteristics of the Rothschild family were basically determined when this will was made. Although this rule was later relaxed to allow intermarriage with other Jewish banking families, and even
Taking into account the issue of genetic variation, Otto Rothschild's appearance, which is very different from other Jewish bankers, seems to indicate that he has foreign ancestry. However, anyone who violates this will will lose all property inheritance rights.
Otto Rothschild's father would not have taken such a big risk.
Seeing Pang Jindong staring at his chin, Otto Rothschild smiled and said with a little embarrassment: "Please sit down!"
After Pang Jindong and the others sat down, the other two Jews went out quietly and closed the door before leaving.
Otto Rothschild looked at Miliya and Nick, and asked Pang Jindong thoughtfully: "I wonder if it is convenient for Mr. Pang to talk about something now!"
Pang Jindong nodded: "Of course!"
When Nick saw this, he stood up knowingly and told Pang Jindong: "We'll go out and wait for you!"
"No need!" Pang Jindong held Nick's shoulders and said slowly: "I don't have anything to carry my brothers on my back!"
Nick and Miria looked at each other and sat there motionless, but did not say a word.
Otto Rothschild asked: "Mr. Pang, can I call you Jerry?"
"sure!"
"That's great." After a pause, Otto Rothschild continued: "You can call me Otto. I hope to start our conversation in a cordial atmosphere."
Pang Jindong asked bluntly: "I wonder why you came to me?"
Otto Rothschild obviously did not want to cut the conversation directly to the topic, but asked Pang Jingdong: "Do you drink coffee?"
Miliya and Nick shook their heads, while Pang Jindong said: "I prefer tea!"
While making coffee, Otto Rothschild said: "I have been to China and drank many kinds of tea there. I must admit that I still like the taste of tea. Unfortunately, there is only coffee here, and it is still soluble.
."
"You Westerners usually drink some black tea. In fact, in our country, there are more than hundreds of types of tea."
"I have experienced it!" Otto Rothschild took a sip of coffee and said with an expression of admiration: "Tea culture has a long history and is extensive and profound, far better than coffee, just like your Chinese civilization.
"
"Thank you for the compliment!" If Otto Rothschild directly praised Pang Jindong himself, Pang Jindong, who was always vigilant, would be indifferent, but this kind of praise for his country made Pang Jindong very useful.
"In my opinion, you Chinese and us Jews are undoubtedly the two greatest nations in the world."
"When I was in China, I once heard such a saying: 'The wealth in this world is in the pockets of the Jews, and the wisdom is in the heads of the Chinese.' During these years abroad, I realized that this statement is not true.
Correct. A more realistic statement should be: 'Jews like to put wealth in their heads, and Chinese like to put wisdom in their pockets.'"
Otto Rothschild smiled and said: "Your evaluation is very vivid and vivid!"
"When it comes to wealth, no one can say that they are rich in front of the Rothschild family." Since Otto Rothschild kept talking about him, Pang Jindong changed the topic to the Rothschild family.
.
Otto Rothschild did not take Pang Jindong's words, but said: "I admire the wisdom of the Chinese people. Your wisdom enabled many great thinkers to be born when Europeans were still in the Black Forest."
Since Otto Rothschild was keen on comparing Chinese and Western civilizations, Pang Jindong simply agreed: "Unfortunately, in the past three to four hundred years, this kind of wisdom has stopped making progress. Not only has it not continued to create great thinkers,
It brought Chinese civilization to a standstill and allowed Europeans to catch up."
"The development process of Eastern and Western civilization is an overly grand proposition. I have not conducted any systematic research on it, so I will not make any comments. But I personally still have full confidence in the wisdom of the Chinese people.
It is precisely because of this wisdom that Jerry was able to make the Blood Lion Mercenary Group dominate the jungles of South America." At this time, Otto Rothschild seemed to be interested in getting the conversation to the point.
Pang Jindong smiled and asked: "Do you know much about mercenaries?"
“I can’t say we know each other well, but we have had many contacts with him!”
Otto Rothschild's words were somewhat unexpected to Pang Jindong. In Pang Jindong's view, it seems difficult for a big capitalist like Otto Rothschild to have anything to do with mercenaries. If the Jews
Based on some shady purposes, it is reasonable for the two parties to have contact, so Otto Rothschild's so-called "many contacts" are difficult to understand.
Otto Rothschild saw Pang Jindong's confusion, smiled again, and said slowly: "In the past few decades, we have hired mercenaries to capture many Nazi war criminals!"
With the end of World War II, the first thing the Zionists did after making the country of Israel a reality was to hunt down Nazi war criminals around the world who had owed heavy blood debts to the Jews. The methods adopted may be public,
Either covertly; legal or illegal. And no matter what the attitudes of other governments were, they still persisted for decades and persevered, eventually allowing more than a thousand Nazi war criminals to be punished.
However, the world generally believes that the work of hunting down Nazi war criminals is mainly the responsibility of the "Mossad". It was not until he heard Otto Rothschild's words today that Pang Jingdong knew that underground mercenaries were also involved.
The full name of Mossad is the "Israeli Intelligence and Special Missions Agency", which was formed with the development of the "Zionist" movement and the establishment of the State of Israel.
Before Israel became independent, there was a secret Jewish military organization in Palestine called the Haganah. This organization specialized in secretly purchasing weapons and equipment and then smuggling them to Jews in Palestine. It also organized illegal immigration to the area. Those who collected intelligence for these activities,
It is an intelligence agency affiliated with the "Haganah" - "Shaya". After the founding of Israel, "Haganah" was replaced by the "Israel Defense Forces", and "Shaya" was replaced by the "Foreign Intelligence Agency". This is
The predecessor of Mossad.
The Israeli army, police and diplomatic agencies actually have their own intelligence systems, but the most important one is Mossad. Although many of Mossad's activities are successful through cooperation with the IDF commandos or the intelligence agencies of Western powers.
Yes, but people often attribute all the credit to Mossad, which only adds to its mysterious aura.
For more than half a century, in several major wars in the Middle East, Israel, which was in a tiny state, was able to gain the upper hand, and Mossad took the greatest credit; in the 1950s, it was the first to obtain Khrushchev's secret anti-Stalin report.
, Country M shocked the world after it was announced; in the 1960s, it stole the most advanced MiG-21 fighter jet from Iraq; it also organized a commando team to remotely attack the Entebbe Airport in Uganda and successfully rescued more than a hundred hostages, while itself
But only one person was sacrificed...
Although most of Mossad's activities are unknown, the above-mentioned public parts alone make Mossad stand shoulder to shoulder with the Central Intelligence Agency of Country M, the Intelligence Bureau 5 of Y**, and the KGB of the former Soviet Union, and are recognized as
Four of the world's most powerful intelligence and secret service agencies.
Mossad's eyes are spread throughout the central and senior levels of governments of various countries, and its technical level is so high that it is difficult to match it in the world. It is said that its "Arrow" special agent team has visited embassies and consulates in all countries, and even the White House
It's no problem. There is news that they have the phone calls of many dignitaries in country m. There is even news that Mossad has a thirty-hour recording of Clinton and Lewinsky's affectionate relationship, and they once wanted to
Use this to blackmail Clinton.
Both the White House and Israel flatly denied this, saying that Mossad had already stipulated that illegal espionage operations were not allowed in country m. However, the highest principle of Mossad is: for the sake of national interests, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Thinking of the impressive achievements of Israel's Mossad, Pang Jindong felt a little ashamed for his country. Just when the Israelis would rather kill Nazi war criminals than let them go, his country took the initiative to give up Japan's defeat compensation.
, and in the spirit of "repaying evil with kindness", those war criminals who committed heinous crimes were pardoned with a stroke of a pen.
However, regarding the Mossad’s pursuit of Nazi war criminals, Pang Jindong only stayed at the content he obtained from books, which was far from having a personal experience of the current politics of country M. Because when the Mossad was at its most glorious, Pang Jindong had not yet arrived.
In this world, by the time Pang Jindong became a mercenary, there was basically no progress in hunting down Nazi fugitives, because the main war criminals had all passed away, and some unimportant war criminals were over sixty years old. Whether they could survive the trial was still a question.
After looking at Otto Rothschild, Pang Jindong expressed his surprise: "I thought Nazi war criminals were captured by Mossad!"
"You can say that!" Otto Rothschild nodded, and then added: "But there are many exceptions, mainly from the 1950s to the 1980s, when some Nazi war criminals were very powerful. They fled.
After taking away a large amount of wealth, they fled to other countries, or formed neo-Nazi organizations, or ran businesses. Some became the leaders of the underworld, and some even had small private armies. In this case
, Mossad's direct attack may cause heavy casualties..."
