Chapter 887 The feces stirrer's specialty (second update, please subscribe)
End of March 1876.

After France declared war on Turkey, while mobilizing the army, no one noticed that the French Emperor Napoleon IV received representatives of the financial circles in Paris in the Louvre. This seemed to be a very normal meeting, after all, the outcome of the war It is determined by financial resources.

What did they discuss in the Louvre that day?
No one knows, but one thing is certain, the next morning, in all bond markets across Europe, from Paris to London, from London to Amsterdam, from Amsterdam to Berlin, from Berlin to Vienna, there was a general sell-off in Turkish bonds , which is different from the panic selling after France declared war two days ago, but a comprehensive and reckless selling. Overnight, Turkey's bonds fell into scrap paper.

At the same time, French bonds were highly praised by the capital market. In just two days, France raised 10 billion francs through the bond market, which far exceeded the military expenditure set by the Ministry of War.

To European observers, the result could not have been more simple - the bankers are always with the victors!
But in fact?
In the smoking room of a club in the city of London, Benjamin looked at Lionel in front of him, who was smoking a cigar, took a puff of smoke, and said.

"Now, you should be the most excited!"

The reason why Benjamin met Lionel here was because they bought a large amount of French bonds, which was obviously against the interests of Britain.

"No, it should be all of us!"

Lionel replied directly.

"Now, from London to Paris to Berlin and Vienna, the most popular bonds are French bonds!"

"Because the Emperor Napoleon IV promised?"

Benjamin asked directly.

"Yes, he promised that after France recovers the Holy City, the Jews will be free to return to Jerusalem. In due course, they will support the restoration of Israel!"

Lionel Rothschild said in an extremely calm tone.

"Jews, what are we? . . . In Eastern Europe, where the social status of the Jewish people is that of an unacceptable alien group; You know one thing better than anyone else, so no one wants to miss this opportunity!"

As early as more than ten years ago, some Jews advocated the restoration of the country. Since Napoleon, the European nationalist movement has led to the unification of Italy and Germany, but the European Jews are still seeking solutions to the difficulties they face. What is the solution?

Of course, it is the restoration of the country!
Many Jews began to conceive of the establishment of a state entity to restore normal life as a solution to the Jewish problem.

It's just that their idea has never been recognized by outsiders, and it is even the dream of a few people, especially the dream of the bullied Jews under Russian rule.

But now everything is different - the French emperor directly gave them a hope!
He promised to support the return of Jews to Jerusalem, and even support the establishment of a Jewish state.

"Lionel, do you believe his promise? France is the godson of God. How could he give up Jerusalem to Israel?"

Benjamin directly exposed Napoleon IV's lies, and then said.

"He just wants to entice you to give financial support!"

"Yes, there is such a possibility, but at least he gave this promise, and what the Jews need now is not a city of Jerusalem, but the whole of Israel, Benjamin, you should know that this is after the Jews left that land, so far The only hope they see to return to Israel, this hope has never been given by any country in the past, so they are willing to believe..."

Looking at Benjamin, Lionel said.

"Benjamin, you are also Jewish, you should be able to understand our feelings!"

Of course Benjamin can understand, even if his father quit Judaism because of a conflict with the rabbi, converted to the Anglican Church, and forced the children to convert to the Anglican Church together.But this did not prevent Benjamin from being proud of his Jewish ancestry.

In fact, Benjamin's rise is also due to this reason. His Jewish ancestry made Lionel choose him and support him financially. It was Lionel Rothschild's funding that allowed him to go all the way Now, in return, Benjamin Disraeli has gradually introduced more bills that are conducive to the entry of British Jews into the British Parliament, opening up many obstacles for Jews to enter the British political circle.

As a Jew, Benjamin can certainly understand their feelings.

"Lionel, you know, this is a long process!"

Benjamin thought for a while, then said.

"And in the future, Britain is bound to go to war with France. I mean, in the near future, at that time, what will the Jews, or Israel, choose? You have to think about it carefully. After all, when the war breaks out, All of you may not have much choice!"

"Haha, Benjamin, my friend!"

Lionel laughed.

"Have you forgotten that we are Jews? After we left Israel, we have survived in this world for so long. No matter what war, no ruler, no matter how they despise us and kill us, we can be tenacious Survive, Jews... know how to choose when it matters! We can choose the French now, and of course we can choose the British in the future."

I hope so!
Benjamin nodded, and then said to Lionel.

"I hope you can get your wish!"

After thinking about it, he added.

"We may make some concessions on Turkey."

"concession?"

Lionel asked curiously.

"What is this concession?"

"As we all know, the union of the four countries of France, Omino, is entirely due to interests. Their common interests are likely to be based on the partition of Turkey. Constantinople is the dream of the Russians. Jerusalem , that belonged to the French, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina area..."

Benjamin looked at his friend, and directly stated his thoughts, or the next move of the British Empire.

"We may express our dissatisfaction through appropriate concessions and military deterrence. At the same time, we will disintegrate their alliance by satisfying part of their wishes through diplomatic-mediated negotiations. At present, the Russians are the ones who contribute the most , if the Russians and Austria-Hungary could get what they crave from the negotiating table, they would definitely choose peace, and peace would mean..."

"It means the disintegration of the imperial alliance!"

Lionel looked at Benjamin with admiration, and then said with admiration.

"In this way, the British Empire seems to have sacrificed some of its interests, but it has disintegrated its most powerful enemy. Then?"

Then... raising his head, Benjamin's eyes sharpened, and he said in a cold voice.

"The British Empire will spare no effort to destroy those countries that try to challenge the rules of the game, France, Ming Dynasty, especially the latter, we will completely wipe that country from this world!"
