Chapter 388: Whoever controls currency issuance controls Britain.
"Mr. Laonel's statement is quite good. The Dutch East India Company has indeed developed too fast, which has affected the interests of our British Empire. Especially in the Americas, Britain's previous share has been gradually eroded. It was originally far more than
European countries are now almost overtaken by the Netherlands, which relied on the anti-British policy of the American Commonwealth. The huge size of the Dutch East India Company now seems to make people feel suffocated."
In Buckingham Palace, Prince Edward's words broke the deadlock among several people.
Foreign Minister Russell opened his mouth, looked at Crown Prince Edward, and then at Lionel Rothschild who seemed somewhat satisfied. Finally, he rationally chose to shut his mouth.
Prime Minister Disraeli took the opportunity to say:
"The Crown Prince is right, and I also agree with the threat of the Dutch East India Company.
In the past few years, the total economic size of the Netherlands has reached half of that of the United Kingdom. However, the United Kingdom has a population of 33 million, while the Netherlands has only 11 million Dutch and people of color. Under such circumstances, the per capita income of the Netherlands seems to be far higher than that of the United Kingdom.
No match for Britain.
But another data shows that if the 11 million white Dutch population is calculated alone, the per capita income of these 11 million people is now 1.5 times that of the British. This is all due to the Dutch East India Company, with 500,000 Dutch East India Company employees.
It led to the great development of the Netherlands.
If this continues, the British Empire's unique superpower position will become ordinary.
Therefore, I also believe that the UK should compete or contain the Netherlands economically to prevent the Netherlands from threatening the UK's economic dominance."
Disraeli's voice was loud and his words were well-founded. It seemed as if he was reading from a speech in the House of Commons in London, which made people feel that he was trying his best.
But it is true that whether it is Queen Victoria or the richest man in Britain, Lionel, they are all his political and economic bosses. They are important to him, his party and his family.
How can the person who can provide the greatest help not work hard?
But what he didn't know was that Lionel Rothschild, who was watching his performance with satisfaction in front of him, despised him very much in his heart. Lionel couldn't help but feel the guilt of his father who had been dead for 32 years.
A passage from Sen.
He remembered what his father Nathan proudly said to him after he took control of the issuance of British currency:
"I don't care what kind of English puppet is put on the throne to rule this huge empire on which the sun never sets. Whoever controls the currency supply of the British Empire controls the British Empire. And now, that person is me, and I
The British Rothschild family who will pass it on to you in the future, remember that I am the most promising heir, and the currency issuance rights must be in their own hands."
Looking at Queen Victoria in front of him, Lionel felt cold in his heart.
Speaking of which, His Majesty the Queen was able to ascend to the throne in the first place because of his role.
Now, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen, who used to have a little influence, has gone too far.
Who is Queen Victoria? She has been in charge of this country for almost 30 years. During this period, she has experienced countless social elites. She has to admit that the Lao Onel in front of her makes her feel scrupulous.
But it's not just because of him. It would be fine if it was the Rothschild family in the UK. Even though the other party grows as wildly as tree roots in the British financial world, it still belongs under her eyes and within her jurisdiction. She can give him
But as long as you harden your heart, you can still take it away.
But what made Queen Victoria very afraid was the entire Rothschild family behind him.
That is the reason why royal families and governments around the world dare not act casually.
The elder Rothschild's third son, Nathan, was the first to learn about the Battle of Waterloo in advance and helped Earl William of Frankfurt transfer money 20 times, becoming the British government's largest bondholder and obtaining the British public debt issuance.
, controlling crucial decisions such as the issuance of British currency and the price of gold.
Of course I won’t talk about these anymore.
Except for Nathan, none of his other four Rothschild brothers were economical.
Laonel's fifth uncle, James, shorted the price of French bonds, forcing Louis XVIII to seek help from him, and eventually took complete control of France's finance.
Lionel's uncle Amschel Rothschild developed in Frankfurt, the headquarters of the Rothschild family, and controlled the finance of the German Confederation. It was inextricably related to the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia, Bismarck and the Junker aristocracy.
That's what he supports.
Through the influence of the Rothschild family, Laionel's fourth uncle Carl gradually became the financial backbone of the Italian court. His profits spread throughout the Italian peninsula. It is said that Emperor Manuel II had to give him almost equal status in front of him.
As for his second uncle Solomon Rothschild, after the Napoleonic War ended, Solomon knocked on the door of Vienna. With the help of Rothschild, he had become a famous family in Europe, with the spirit of conquering Britain and France, and he was full of confidence.
After a lot of thinking, Solomon did not directly choose someone who was not Bao to discuss business, but found a stepping stone. He was Metternich, the foreign minister of the Austrian Empire who was famous in the European politics of the 19th century.
After defeating Napoleon, the Vienna system led by Metternich maintained the longest period of peace in the 19th century. When Austria was gradually declining and weakly surrounded by powerful enemies, he brought the essence of checks and balances to the extreme. He used Habsburg
The remaining orthodox appeal of the royal family in Europe formed the Holy Alliance between neighboring Prussia and Tsarist Russia, which stopped the resurgence of France, restrained the restless expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and formed a coalition to unite nationalism and liberalism within the country.
The mechanism ensures that the multi-ethnic separatist forces in Austria will not get out of control.
The Rothschild family, Nathan. The Rothschild generation has five brothers. One of the brothers is in London, England, Paris, France, Frankfurt, and Naples, Italy. The influence of Metternich helped Solomon finally open Austria and become the Austrian Empire.
of finance and economics.
Therefore, up to now, the currency issuance power of major European industrial countries such as the British Empire, the French Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy has fallen under the control of the Rothschild family.
In this case, how could Queen Victoria not worry.
It is precisely because she is concerned about the huge power of the Rothschild family that she actually hopes to see the rise of the Netherlands, a country that is not under the control of the Rothschild family, to break the European financial monopoly of the Rothschild family, so that Britain can truly
Escape from Rothschild's economic control.
Why Queen Victoria was so fond of Viscount Palmerston and Russell was because they had always been her best helpers in seeking to eliminate Rothschild's control.
