I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 703 The mob
Hebrews make up about one percent of Russia's total population.

Most of the Hebrews in Russia are concentrated in cities. Before the outbreak of the World War, Hebrews accounted for more than 6% of the population in big cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow.

The Romanov family was originally German, and there are many Germans in Russia.

Traditionally, when Russia and Germany went to war, ethnic Germans should be excluded. Even if there were ethnic Germans joining the army, they would not be sent to the Russo-German battlefield but to the Balkans, where they would only participate in battles against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

During the World War, the Russian Empire, with a total population of 1.5 million, mobilized 1500 million people to fight in the war, accounting for % of the total population.

The proportion of Germans participating in the war was 11 percent.

Although it is only one point higher, when magnified to the overall proportion it amounts to more than 100,000 people.

It would have been fine if the Hebrews had not joined the army.

When the Provisional Executive Committee was established, 84 of the 63 members were Hebrews.

The Workers' Guards, which Kerensky armed to quell Kornilov and later overthrew the Provisional Government, had more than 58% of its members who were Hebrews.

It is known that the assassins who assassinated Yadzin and Stolypin were also Hebrews.

This is quite good. It turns out that you Hebrews not only did not join the army to defend Russia, but instead assassinated politicians. You were everywhere during the rebellion.

Things had reached this point, and the Russians began to drain the oil on their own without George's instigation.

In Warsaw, where the proportion of Hebrews is the highest, angry Russians, led by Orthodox priests, surrounded Hebrew churches.

The pastor first announced the crimes of the Hebrews, and then announced in the name of God that the Hebrew church in front of him would be demolished and a new Orthodox church would be built on the original site.

The Russians, who had long been unable to contain their emotions, were extremely excited. This was not only a religious war, but also a feast for the division of wealth.

The Hebrews were indeed good at business and were usually quite wealthy.

The poor Russians who had nothing had always coveted the wealth of the Hebrews, but they did not dare to take action in the past due to the harsh laws. Now that the priest had given the order in the name of God, what else could they say?

Not only the Hebrew churches, but all Hebrew families, Hebrew businesses, and everything related to the Hebrews suffered after George issued this order.

The smart Hebrews fled Russia directly after George gave the order.

The Hebrews who hesitated for a moment and did not flee Russia immediately either gave up their faith and converted to Orthodoxy.

Either your family will be destroyed, or you will die and your clan will be wiped out.

All the Hebrew churches in Russia disappeared in just one week.

The Dolgorukov family in the United States was also impacted by American Hebrews.

There was a change of power in the Dolgorukov family last winter, and the Dolgorukov family's business in the United States is currently managed by Joseph, who once served as a liaison officer with Bulgaria.

Joseph is also the head of Alpha in the United States.

Joseph, who came from a military background, was not proficient in business operations. He kept George's instructions in mind and left professional matters to professionals.

The Dolgorukov family's business in the United States is only responsible for making money.

In the United States, it is the mission of the U.S. government to help the world.

The Dolgorukov family's headquarters in the United States is in Delaware, but the Alexanders live in New York.

Alexander owns a 150-acre estate on Long Island, New York, with more than 400 staff members working on the estate alone.

That's why the Alexanders are spending $100 million a month.

The first thing Joseph did after arriving in the United States was to dismiss all the staff in the manor and replace them with the 230 retired Marines and their families who had arrived in the United States with Joseph.

As one of the most watched families in the United States, the power changes in the Dolgorukov family have attracted widespread attention in the United States.

As soon as Joseph arrived in New York, Al Smith, the Democratic governor of New York, came to visit him.

Al Smith lost his father at a young age and had to drop out of school, but he taught himself and was known for his rigorous, pragmatic and honest work.

Joseph promised Al Smith that the Dolgorukov family would increase its investment in the United States and fully cooperate with Al Smith's work to continue the glory of New York's economy.

Al Smith jokingly complained that Joseph had created more than 400 unemployed people in New York as soon as he arrived.

"I plan to develop the estate commercially, build a park on part of it, and turn the estate into a new commercial district around the park."

Joseph is a big spender, with $100 million a month, so he has to find a way to spend it.

When Thierry bought the estate at the end of the last century, it was still a wasteland with no buildings.

Thierry and Alexander spent 20 years turning this wasteland into the first luxury home in New York.

As New York developed, the manor gradually changed from a suburb to a part of the city.

After Alexander took over the family business, the New York State government and the New York City government contacted Alexander many times, hoping to develop the estate commercially, but Alexander refused.

Thierry bought the land for less than $15000, but now the land alone is worth more than a million dollars.

“This is fantastic, thank you for your contribution to New York.”

Al Smith was very satisfied with Joseph's gift.

Commercial development is still relatively complicated. Before Joseph's design work was completed, news came that Russia had abolished Hebrew Christianity.

The Hebrews in the United States, having fully learned from the experience of the Hebrews being excluded in Europe, keep a low profile in the United States and are unknown to the public.

According to official data, the proportion of Hebrews in the United States is about the same as in Europe, at around 1%.

After the news of Russia's abolition of Hebrewism reached New York, thousands of Hebrews gathered outside the Dolgorukov family's estate overnight and demanded that the Dolgorukov family get out of the United States.

Joseph called the New York Police Department directly and asked them to send people to protect the manor immediately and disperse the crowd gathered outside the manor.

The New York Police Commissioner said all sorts of things, but the police didn't show up.

As time went by, more and more people gathered outside the manor, their emotions became more and more excited, and the crowd was slowly approaching the gate of the manor.

Giriev, who once served in the Russian Navy's 1st Marine Division, is the security chief of Dolgorukov Estate.

John Coolidge, a graduate of Yale Law School, served as legal advisor to the Dolgorukov family.

John Coolidge's uncle was the governor of Massachusetts, and the uncle and nephew had the same name.

"If they break into the manor without permission, you can order the guards to shoot and use any means to protect the interests of the manor from damage."

John Coolidge's reminder made Gireyev overjoyed. The United States is truly a paradise for capital.

"You should never do that unless you have to."

Financial Director Krukova is cautious and believes that it is better to keep a low profile in extraordinary times.

"Even if you want to shoot, please give the order to raise the muzzle one inch."

In April 1914, a conflict broke out between Colorado miners and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company owned by the Rockefeller family. In order to drive away the miners, the Rockefeller family dispatched snipers to kill the workers and used armored vehicles and machine guns.

After driving the miners away, the Rockefeller family's mercenaries set fire to the tents built by the workers, and two women and 11 children were burned to death.

Subsequently, the three strike leaders were executed and their bodies were dumped next to the railway. The Rockefeller family threatened that no one would be allowed to collect the bodies and that all passengers on passing trains would see the fate of these people.

By the time the strike ended in November, about 11 people had died in the conflict.

Such serious violence broke out in Colorado, but no American media dared to report it.

The guards of the Dolgorukov Estate are composed of soldiers, and they are more professional in killing people than the Rockefeller family's mercenaries.

There are six armored vehicles for travel in the manor, and the guards are equipped with light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and even rocket launchers. All light weapons are available.

If serious bloodshed occurs, the reputation of the Dolgorukov family will be seriously affected.

If someone else adds fuel to the fire, the Dolgorukov family's industries in the United States may suffer a serious blow.

“How were similar incidents handled in the past?”

Joseph finally remembered that the Dolgorukov family's reputation in the United States was actually not very good.

In the automotive industry, the Dolgorukov family is the only dominant family. Almost all automobile companies in the United States were either founded by the Dolgorukov family or have a controlling stake in them.

It is almost a pipe dream in the United States to set up a car company without the help of the Dolgorukov family. The Dolgorukov family's legal team is no pushover.

Korukova gave Joseph a call.

Shortly after Joseph made the call, hundreds of militants armed with steel pipes and machetes came roaring in on hundreds of motorcycles.

The excited Hebrews soon calmed down.

"You bastards, if you don't disappear within five minutes, your families will find your bodies in the Hudson River!"

The sturdy man in the lead had a Mohawk and a huge nose ring. He probably didn't know that in traditional Eastern culture, only cows have nose rings in this position.

"Why do you ask us to do this?"

Someone in the crowd asked timidly.

"Just because I have this in my hand!"

The burly man suddenly pulled out a pistol, waved it twice, and then pulled the trigger.

Bah!
The hunting pistol produced by the Vladivostok Defense Company has a caliber of 11.43 mm and can kill elephants.

The crowd dispersed immediately.
