Chapter 949(1/2)

The Russians were frantically pursuing Dorgon, and at this time, the Paris Peace Conference led by the Ming Dynasty in Paris was also in full swing.

Prussia is definitely an important force in Europe. Ever since the Prussians agreed to send troops, the effects have been like dominoes!

The first four countries to express their response to send troops were Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. These four countries have been threatened by Russia for many years. As a powerful and impolite neighbor, Russia is not liked by others.

The reason why we didn't break out in the past was entirely because Russia was too big. A small country like Finland was simply unable to fight with the Russians.

It's okay now. There's a big enough head holding it in front. How long will it take for Russia to take care of it now?

Although they did not send many troops, only 3,500, and Sweden only sent 10,000 troops. But this was a good start and a good attitude.

Soon, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also decided to send troops.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has long coveted places like Sarajevo, and they even had ambitions for Ukraine. They were able to tolerate it in the past because they were afraid of the huge Russia.

Now that the wall is down and everyone is pushing back, how long will it be before we send troops to the Balkans now? Could it be said that the Balkans are going to be handed over to the Ottoman Empire?

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a big country in Europe. Although its army was backward in equipment, morale was low, and its combat effectiveness was very low. But there were people there. With a wave of his hand, Emperor Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent 500,000 troops.

Ferdinand raised his arms and shouted, which immediately frightened almost everyone. In a grand duchy like Luxembourg, there are only half a million young and middle-aged men in the country.

For a time, many countries decided to participate in the action of tearing Russia apart.

This time, the Zheng Sen brothers opened their eyes. These bastards gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, holding back several of their butts. As a result, they sent out three hundred troops. In the Ming Dynasty, this was just a guard of honor.

The most shameless one is a country called Liechtenstein. Zheng Sen and Tagawa Shichizaemon searched for a long time on the map before they found this country, which is smaller than a sesame seed.

The mighty Liechtenstein sent out twelve troops!

When he first heard this number, Zheng Sen felt that he had read it wrong. He asked for the translation eight times before he was sure that the translation was correct.

This guy is just trying to fish in troubled waters!

Zheng Sen categorically rejected the requests of those small countries to send troops, and instead allowed their banks to lend money to various countries to purchase arms.

The Russian cake was too big, and Ming had no appetite to swallow it. Since he couldn't eat it, he might as well treat him to a dinner. Of course, it would be a shame to not take advantage of this opportunity to acquire bank shares in these countries.

"European Bank?" Napoleon looked at Zheng Sen doubtfully.

When it came to commanding the war, Napoleon would absolutely overwhelm anyone sent by the Ming Dynasty, except of course the Ming Dynasty Marshal Li Xiao. But when it came to playing with banks, he was definitely not the opponent in front of him named Ai Husheng who could speak fluent French.

"Yes! European banks.

In other words, a bank will be established across Europe. All countries participating in this operation can invest in European banks.

Our European banks can provide loans to countries participating in the war to purchase arms. At the same time, countries can use the seizures in Russia to offset these loans.

As for the benefits obtained, they will be distributed completely according to the shares provided by each country." Ai Husheng explained to Napoleon the upcoming European Bank in fluent French.

"Hiss...!" Napoleon took a breath, this was about to begin to control the rhythm of European finance.

As soon as the European Bank is established, it will immediately become the largest moneylender in Europe. Since the loans are directed to governments of various countries, they are endorsed by government credit.

Even if the government becomes a yellow shop, the country will not cease to exist.

With the endorsement of powerful countries such as the Ming Dynasty and Europe, no one dares to owe money to this bank. With the state as a guarantee, naturally there is no fear that you will run away if you owe money.

Eurobank will soon become the largest bank in Europe.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Napoleon felt that this bank would be a good thing for him.

In the past, when Napoleon was fighting wars, he was scratching his head because of the huge military expenditure. As a result, France's finances were stretched to make ends meet. In the previous anti-French wars, Napoleon had to borrow money from Jewish vampires.

As a result, the trophies obtained by the soldiers with their lives were all cheaper than those of the Jews.

Although Napoleon hated those Jews from the bottom of his heart, he had nothing to do with them because he was not sure whether he would borrow money from others during the next war.

Every time it was due for repayment, the mighty French Emperor would be blocked at the door demanding debts. Napoleon would not have thought of such a day even if he was killed.

Well now, Ming Dynasty took the lead in setting up a European bank. France is still a shareholder. If you want to borrow money in the future, you can borrow it from a European bank.

At least, France can still get a share.

"This is a good thing, and we in France very much agree with it." Napoleon thought for a moment and agreed.

The power of example is infinite. After Napoleon agreed, Frederick naturally agreed. The problem he faced was very similar to Napoleon, that is, the war funding could not be solved. As a result, he fell into a series of Jewish loan schemes, and every time he repaid

Money is like peeling off a layer of skin.

Naturally, low-lying countries such as the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium raised their hands in approval. The Italians even shouted excitedly.

The Italians have long lost the bravery of the Romans, and the Italian army is synonymous with jokes on the battlefield. Letting them send troops to fight is simply a nightmare for the Allies.

So much so that Italy has successfully avoided many wars over the years.

Now that there is finally an opportunity to participate in the war in another form, how could Italy not seize it?

The Swiss are relatively depressed because Switzerland is known as a neutral country. They never take the initiative to participate in wars, but because the folk customs are relatively tough, naturally no one wants to take advantage of the Swiss.

Zurich, Switzerland, is the most prestigious banking center in the world, and the banking industry is naturally a pillar industry in Switzerland.

Now that a Big Mac has come to take over our jobs, the Swiss are certainly not willing to do so.

But even if they don't want to, the Swiss can't afford to offend all the countries in Europe. After all, everyone is now discussing how to deal with Russia.

Now that you are causing trouble, maybe everyone will discuss it and deal with you first.

No matter how tough the Swiss are, they cannot be enemies of the entire Europe.

Although the Swiss have strong opinions, they are not the one with the biggest opinions.

The one with the biggest opinions is the Rothschild family entrenched in London. This Jewish family has been engaged in the banking and securities industry for more than 200 years.

If various banks are like leeches crawling on European countries, then there is no doubt that the Rothschild family is the biggest and most vicious one.

"We want to establish a European bank!" Old Rothschild viciously slammed his fist on the red-painted oak desk.

"Yes! News came from Paris. I heard that the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty personally took action. The Ming Dynasty will appear as the major shareholder, and France and Prussia will also be the major shareholders.

Governments from all over the world are vying to subscribe for the remaining shares. Even the representatives are almost fighting over the shares." Young Rothschild cautiously faced his father who was on the verge of breaking out.

"We can also subscribe for some, and we can also become the major shareholder. You go to Paris now and meet with the Minister of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty."

The Rothschild family is not short of money. The old Rothschild said leisurely. Regarding the European bank that was under preparation, the old Rothschild felt great pressure.

If this matter is not handled well, it may threaten the foundation of the Rothschild family.

"Father, shares in European banks are only sold to governments. In other words, they have no intention of letting us participate in them."

"Damn it!" Old Rothschild cursed fiercely. It seems that Ming Dynasty did a great job this time and came to steal his job.

No, they are going to destroy the Rothschild family's jobs.

But old Rothschild was a cunning person after all. He lit a cigar and sat on the sofa to think for a while.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to see Prime Minister Quining." Soon, old Rothschild ordered.

"Father, don't count on the government. Although Prime Minister Quinin has a good relationship with you, but... the Ming Dynasty's fleet is now anchored in the ports of Caen and Antwerp.

If the Ming people are angered, London will turn into a sea of ​​​​fire during the bombardment." Young Rothschild said in a panic.

"Who said we should go to the Prime Minister? It was he who persuaded Her Majesty the Queen to go to war with the Ming Dynasty? Besides, although England did not declare war with the Ming Dynasty, the two countries had already fought in India.

Even if I went to start a war, what does it have to do with me if Ming Dynasty bombed London into ruins? Maybe Londoners will have to queue up to borrow money from me to build houses and buy food and drink.

Remember! My son! What we operate is capital, not charity. Capital is ruthless, so we should also be ruthless." As the old Rothschild spoke, he took off his coat and hat from the hanger.

"Yes! My father, I remember it!" the young Rothschild said respectfully, and followed the old Rothschild out of the door and got into the carriage.

"Father, why did you go to see Prime Minister Quinine if you didn't want to start a war?" Young Rothschild still couldn't figure out why the elder Rothschild did this.

"You'll know when you get there." The old Rothschild remained the same, not talking about work in any public place.

Old Rothschild did not attach great importance to confidentiality. The carriage rolled through the streets of London and arrived at No. 10 Downing Street like the wind.

"Oh! My friend Rothschild, long time no see." At the door of the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Quining opened his arms and warmly hugged Rothschild.

"Hi! Quining, we just went hunting wild ducks in Nottingham last month." Old Rothschild patted Prime Minister Quining hard on the back.

"People in Nottingham are complaining that you have killed all the wild ducks. Come in and tell me!" Quining welcomed the old Rothschild into the Prime Minister's Office with a smile on his face.

Entering the office, old Rothschild sat down on the huge leather sofa.

"Why did you think of coming to see me today? Let me guess...! You want to know about Her Majesty the Queen knighting you, right? Don't worry, there will be news in the next few days." Quining smiled.

, personally poured a cup of tea for old Rothschild.

"No!" Old Rothschild threw out two words lightly.

"No?" Prime Minister Quining looked at Old Rothschild in confusion. The largest banker in the UK was not someone who went out easily. Today he came to see me without prior contact, and it was presumptuous and even rude to come to see him...!

Could it be that something big happened?

"Do you know about the European Bank?" Old Rothschild looked at Quining and said.

"Oh! I know that matter is being discussed in the House. Some people are in favor and others are against it. You know the House is like that. It often gets into a quarrel." Quining spread his hands, and he had nothing to do with the people in the House.

"We want to participate in the matter of European banks. However, the shares of European banks are only for sale to the government. In other words, I can't buy them even if I want to." Old Rothschild also spread his hands, looking very helpless.

"Oh! Rothschild, my friend. I can't help with this matter. As you know, the Ming Dynasty is now very powerful. Just across the strait, in the port of Caen, there are two warships as high as mountains parked.

, and a dozen ironclad ships.

This fleet alone can defeat the British Empire Navy. What's more, there is a fleet in Antwerp that is not much smaller.
