Chapter 885 The emperor is a big liar (fourth update, please subscribe)
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! The Second French Empire declares war on the Turkish Empire!"
"Read the newspaper, Emperor Napoleon IV called for a "crusade"!"
"Read newspapers……"
In September 1876, the sun was shining brightly in London. In the bright sunshine, there were shouts of newsboys everywhere. They waved the newspapers in their hands and shouted out the news in the newspapers. All the news revolved around one topic.
——The French Empire declares war on Turkey.
Not just a declaration of war, but a "crusade".
The French Empire's declaration of war shocked the entire Europe. Even the British, who had originally planned to transfer the Atlantic Fleet to the Mediterranean and use further escalation of deterrence to force the "Imperial Alliance" to make concessions, temporarily stopped their actions.
how so!
When had France ever been so tough?
How come Emperor Napoleon IV was tougher than his father!
Of course, they didn't know that the reason why Emperor Napoleon IV was so stubborn was because he had an "father" who helped him plan all this behind the scenes.
My biological father is not tough, as long as my sub-father is tough enough. If I have sub-father, I will be able to do it.
France's declaration of war, the Ming Dynasty's declaration of war, and the fact that the Russian Empire had already gained battlefield advantages, all made the British a little bit stuck.
But for some British people, what they see is not riding a tiger but an opportunity.
Emperor Napoleon IV's speech at the Legislative Assembly shocked not only politicians. Many ordinary people were also deeply shocked by his speech.
When putting down the newspaper, Lionel Rothschild, the banker who lent money to Britain to buy Suez Canal stocks last year, frowned, thought for a while, and then he
I glanced at the newspaper again, and then read what it said.
"That place - Jerusalem, as the Bible says, was given by God to the heirs of Israel. The land is flowing with milk and honey, and gold and precious stones can be picked up easily. Jerusalem is the center of the earth, and its fertility and richness exceed everything in the world.
The land is another paradise full of joy and joy."
This is the speech delivered by Emperor Napoleon IV at the Legislative Assembly. Of course, this is not his original creation, but comes from Pope Urban II. This is the content of the Pope’s speech when he mobilized the Crusades, but it is different from the Pope’s speech.
The difference is, the next sentence.
"We believe that the Holy Land will one day return to its true owners!"
Who is the real owner of Jerusalem?
Are you a Christian?
Maybe, but who is the real owner?
Of course they are Jewish!
Although Emperor Napoleon IV did not say it explicitly, this was what he meant both inside and outside his words.
"Sir, why do you think he said that?"
Faced with the question of his son-in-law, Lionel Rothschild, the head of the Rothschild family, shook his head.
"I don't know exactly why he said that, but one thing is for sure, for any emperor, every word he says is full of profound meaning! They will never say anything unnecessary for no reason.
Words, we must get information that is beneficial to us through every word they say, Edward, in Europe, the rules of the wealth game are definitely different from those in India or China. Being close to power can allow us to obtain more wealth!"
For nearly a century, the Rothschild family has been approaching power and gained huge wealth through power.
In this regard, many people say that the Rothschild family gained wealth through speculation, but they are only half right, because the other half of the truth is that Rothschild gained more wealth by being close to power and speculating on power.
much wealth.
"Sir, I've been learning this rule."
Edward Albert Sassoon said quickly.
As a member of the Sassoon family, the reason why Edward was able to marry Caroline was ultimately due to wealth - he brought a huge fortune of 5 million pounds to the UK, which was an unimaginable amount of wealth in the UK, even for Rose.
The same is true for the Childe family.
Of course, it is not easy for the Sassoon family now. His brother was arrested in the Ming Dynasty and sentenced to death. The Rothschild family did not mind this. In fact, they also intervened, but were strongly pushed back by the Ming Empire.
The Rothschild family may be rich, but in the face of absolute power, they are just rich people. Just like they may lend 5 million pounds to the British government to acquire shares in the Suez Canal, but they cannot acquire the chicken that can lay golden eggs themselves.
.They must give in when facing power.
"France!"
Lionel nodded and said.
"We have not invested much in France since the Napoleonic era. Of course we have many friends in France, and now they are as concerned about the emperor's speech as we are -"
Lionel cast his gaze into the distance, his brows furrowed.
"No one knows why the emperor said that, and no one knows what he means? Is he just plagiarizing Pope Urban II's speech? Or, he..."
Although Lionel did not continue speaking, Edward was surprised.
"Sir, are you saying that the French Emperor is willing to help Israel return to Jerusalem?"
When Edward talked about returning to Jerusalem, his voice felt a little stiff. He was also a Jew. What was the dream of all Jews?
Back to Jerusalem of course!
Not only were they personally back there to be buried in Zion, but more importantly Israel was back in Jerusalem!
"Only God knows this!"
Lionel shook his head and said.
"We are all mortals, and mortals cannot figure out God's intentions, but when God gives a sign, we have to see him and discover it. Only in this way will we not miss the opportunity."
What are signs from God?
Edward looked at his father-in-law with some confusion. They were both Jews, and they were all moved by those words.
Jerusalem returned to its true owners!
Standing by the window and staring out the window, Lionel thought for a while and then said.
"No one in this world will ever say something casually for no reason, especially for those who wear crowns. What is certain is that they must have some conspiracy against us!"
What is the plot?
Of course it’s money!
Now that Emperor Napoleon IV had shown kindness to them, it was now their turn to give some response. Thinking of this, Lionel turned around and said again.
"Edward, inform the bank to purchase 5 million pounds of French bonds!"
Edward was stunned by his decision, and he said in surprise.
"Sir, if this happens, the Prime Minister will definitely be very unhappy!"
"he……"
Lionel shook his head and looked at Edward's serious tone.
"Edward, you have to know that we are businessmen, businessmen, always seeking profit! But now... we can gain more profits! As for Britain..."
Lionel smiled and said.
"Let them deal with the challenge at hand!"
A challenge! Maybe it’s a challenge for Britain, or what about them? Maybe it’s an opportunity, the biggest opportunity the Jewish nation has faced in more than a thousand years!
