As long as the Civil War breaks out, no matter who wins the war in the end, the huge government debt caused by the huge war expenditure will force the U.S. federal government to borrow money from abroad, and eventually embark on the path they planned.
According to the accurate information obtained by Chen Mo, it is the Rothschild family, the richest man in Europe and the largest banker power, who is driving this war behind the scenes.
During the war, they provided loans and sold major supplies to the nobles of the warring countries, and handled international remittances and currency exchanges between European countries. After the war, they got involved in government securities, insurance and corporate stocks, and also conducted railway, coal, steel, etc.
Investment firmly holds the lifeline of the country economically.
After spreading their power throughout Europe, the Rothschild family set its sights on the United States.
In the autumn of 1859, European banker Solomon Rothschild came to the southern United States. At that time, the United States was full of agents of British financiers. Solomon cleverly used these agents to build momentum and constantly highlighted and strengthened the differences between the North and the South on the issue of slavery.
conflict of economic interests, and successfully catalyzed the slavery issue into an irreconcilable conflict between the North and the South.
In talks with local people, Solomon Rothschild publicly stated that he would strongly support the South economically and would help the independent South gain recognition from European powers.
At this time, there was also a powerful supporter in the north. He was the Jewish banker August Belmont, known as the King of Fifth Avenue in New York.
August came to New York in 1837 and soon became a leader in New York's financial community due to his purchase of a large amount of government bonds. August also stated on many public occasions that he represented Britain's Ross.
Childs Bank, willing to support the North financially.
In fact, August and Solomon, the two bankers who supported the North and the South respectively, actually belonged to the Rothschild family.
August Belmont was the agent of Rothschild Bank in the United States and the main supporter of Henry Clay and the Whig Party. However, he had been secretly working in the United States for more than 20 years, but he never succeeded.
After such great progress, the Rothschild family sent core family members to deal with the American issue.
Solomon Rothschild is the second son of Meyer Rothschild, the founder of the Rothschild family, and one of the "Five Rothschilds".
Meyer Rothschild sent his five sons, the "Roche Five", to London, England, Paris, France, Vienna, Austria, Frankfurt, Germany, Naples, Italy and other famous European cities to open banks and control European finance.
After the agent August Belmont sent to the United States failed, Solomon Rothschild came to the United States in person.
In fact, the outbreak of the Civil War was a matter of time. If they had not killed Zachary Taylor, who resolutely resisted slavery and had a very tough attitude, the Civil War might have broken out long ago. After these years of brewing and continuous fermentation,
, the contradiction between the North and the South has become increasingly acute. At this time, their intervention and fueling the flames only caused this long-brewing war to break out in advance.
With their full push, the American Civil War broke out as these bankers expected. In the early days of the war, the South's military offensives were victorious. Because the Lincoln government's treasury in the North was empty, the army was retreating.
If there is no money, the war will end quickly and the South will win.
At this time, it was the turn of the "well-intentioned" bankers to come on stage. They proposed a financing plan to Lincoln and set out conditions: the bond interest rate is 24% to 36%!
Only then did Lincoln realize that the bankers were playing a game that could completely bankrupt the U.S. government.
The bankers successfully put Lincoln into a dilemma. Without money, they could only wait for the South to blow the trumpet of victory; and if they accepted the bankers' rules of the game, even if they won the war, the government would be under control.
To bankers.
For this reason, Lincoln visited Chen Mo again, hoping that Chen Mo could provide financial support to the Northern Federation, but Chen Mo rejected him again.
Now is not the time for the emergence of a private central bank. He has not experienced several financial crises and realized the potential threats of laissez-faire free financial policies and the huge damage to the economy. Even if he successfully established a central bank while taking advantage of this war, he would still
Like the short-lived First Bank of the United States and Second Bank of the United States, it was closed after the postwar government weathered the crisis and its license expired.
However, Chen Mo did not let it go, but suggested that Lincoln let the government issue its own currency!
This approach was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for European bankers. The London Times, which represents the position of bankers, immediately issued a statement:
“If this disgusting new currency policy originating from the United States (Lincoln Green Dollar) were made permanent, then the government could issue its own currency at no cost. It would be able to pay off all its debts and owe no more, it
To obtain all the currency necessary to develop commerce, this country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy in the world!"
Lincoln caused heavy losses to the bankers who had been providing huge financial support to the South, and also shattered the family's conspiracy. How could they just let it go?
With their infiltration in Congress over the years, they clearly grasped Lincoln's whereabouts and selected John Booth as their "gunman"!
After careful planning and arrangement, a series of coincidences caused Abraham Lincoln to die inexplicably.
After Lincoln's death, under the control of international financial forces, the U.S. Congress announced the abolition of Lincoln's new currency policy and stipulated that the issuance limit of Lincoln's new currency should not exceed US$400 million.
Chen Mo did not intervene in these matters. Chen Mo did not intend to change these important historical events, because they may change the direction of future history. Lincoln's "death" did not weaken his control over the Republican Party and Congress, including the new currency.
The abolition of the policy was also carried out with Chen Mo's tacit approval.
European bankers thought they were in control of everything, but they didn't know that their every move was watched by Chen Mo. When it came to major historical events such as "Lincoln's Assassination", Chen Mo didn't want to intervene in changes, but Chen Mo, a few small financial families,
It can still be disposed of at will.
During World War I, under the attack of an invisible force, the Rothschild family and other famous European financial families suffered a devastating disaster in the war. Most of their properties were sealed up and confiscated, and family members suffered heavy casualties.
These huge forces that once secretly controlled the European economy have collapsed.
