Let’s put it this way, Nicholas I and Russia these days are similar to Mustache and Germany in World War II, at least in the eyes of the Jews. Although the former’s methods of persecuting Jews are not so cruel and heinous, the Jewish influence in Russia
The living conditions are quite bad, and they are simply bullied.
Moreover, Nicholas I was not ashamed but proud of it. He was very enthusiastic about fighting these enemies of Christ and regarded it as his achievements and achievements.
At this time, if you tell Nicholas I to give the Jews legal status and protect their lives and property, guess what Nicholas I will do to you!
Alexei is not hostile or involved in the persecution of Jews, but this does not mean that he will agree with Li Xiao's suggestion, because no matter how you look at it, it is looking for death.
"Are you crazy!" Alexei exclaimed, "If His Majesty and our enemies find out, we will be doomed immediately!"
Vishniak also said: "This is too reckless, the risk is not ordinary! I suggest caution!"
Li Xiao sighed and said: "I know this is a bit dangerous, but the interests are at stake. If you want to make money, you have to deal with the Jews. It can even be said that once we do not solve the Jewish problem, they are likely to stand in the future."
If we are enemies, it will be even more troublesome!"
This is not a lie. Later, during the Russo-Japanese War, in order to retaliate against the Czar's persecution of the Jews, the Jewish financial chaebols chose to side with Japan and provided Japan with a large amount of loan support. Otherwise, with the national power of the Japanese, even their pants would have been pawned.
, there is a ghost of money to continue fighting the war.
To be honest, Li Xiao thinks Nicholas I's family is quite weird. Starting from his grandmother's generation, they have been persecuting Jews because of their religious beliefs. By the time his grandson's generation reached its peak, it was tantamount to creating a problem for himself.
the enemy.
However, the reason why Li Xiao is willing to help the Jews now is not to help Nicholas I's family to save their character, but because the objective fact is that they need money, and to make it as less troublesome as possible to deal with the Japanese in the future.
"But the risk is too great!" Alexey insisted.
Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not ready to give the Jews national treatment all at once. That would be too cheap for them, and if I satisfy them all at once, it won't be easy to ask for money in the future."
Alexei frowned and asked: "Then what are you going to do to impress the Jews?"
“How about protecting the Jewish ghetto from harassment and illegal abuse?”
Alexey was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Is it right here? I'm afraid this won't impress the Jews and make them donate generously, right?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Of course this is the case under normal circumstances, so we have to create some basic conditions that can make the Jews tempted."
Alexey and Vishniak subconsciously felt that the Jews were going to be in trouble, because every time someone showed such a smile, someone was going to be in trouble.
"...My plan is this. First, we will spread the rumor that the Jews support Turkey, and then Alexei will add fuel to the flames. Based on my understanding of those extremists, they will soon start to persecute the Jews..."
"
Alexei asked, dumbfounded: "At that time, we will take action to help the Jews, and then ask for benefits in due course?"
"How is that possible!" Li Xiao immediately shook his head, "This is too simple. Jews are not stupid, how could they not see the clues!"
Alexei asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do?"
"After creating rumors and triggering a wave of anti-Semitism, I will contact Gelson Bleichröder. Do you remember him, right?"
Alexey nodded and asked: "What are you looking for him for?"
"Of course I'm asking him to borrow money, or to get financing from him!"
Alexey wondered: "He seems to have a good relationship with the Austrians and Prussians. Although his business has been quite large in the past two years, it is unlikely that he will go against the will of Prussia and Austria, right?"
"This is generally the case," Li Xiao explained in detail, "but isn't there a wave of anti-Semitism ahead? He can't just watch his compatriots suffer and ignore it."
Now Alexey finally understood. He had to admit that Li Xiao was really cunning to the core and had calculated every aspect. With the Jewish style, Gelson Bleichröder really might have opened his wallet to help his compatriots.
.
However, Alexei expressed doubts about his financial ability. After all, Wallachia's current financial gap is not very large. Can a mere Gelson Bleichröder fill it?
"Of course he alone can't do it, but behind him there is the Rothschild family and hundreds of big Jewish businessmen like him. Together they are more than enough!"
Alexei nodded. If you include the Rothschild family, it is indeed enough. But that family either relies on Austria or is in the same trousers with the United Kingdom. It is said that the British and French sent troops to their family and they also made great efforts.
Are you willing to help Russia?
Li Xiao said calmly: "Of course they won't be willing to help us, but haven't we already created sufficient and necessary conditions? They can't help their compatriots, right?"
After a pause, Li Xiao continued to explain: "And didn't I say it before? It will ensure the safety of the Jewish people, property and faith in Wallachia, plus these are enough!"
Well, Alexey and Vishnyak finally understood Li Xiao’s plan. In short, they used the Jews as meat tickets, kidnapped them first, and then blackmailed the wealthy Jewish people. Although this move was a bit dirty.
, but it was very difficult for the Jews to control.
After a moment of silence, Alexey sighed and said: "Although I want to say that this move is too despicable, shameless and out of style, I can understand why you do it. Just do it, my friend, sometimes
We can only give up some moral insistence."
Alexey nodded in agreement and the matter was settled. Alexey's experience this night was rich and colorful. First he solved Friedrich I and then found a way to solve the economic problem. He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
.
He sincerely felt that Li Xiao was truly his lucky star, and there was no problem that could not be solved as long as he took action.
"Really? That's what you think?" Fontana, lying in his arms, chuckled.
Alexey asked back: "Isn't it right? Andrei solved all the problems as soon as he came back..."
Fontana interrupted him: "I don't deny this, but why do I feel that the time of his return is too coincidental and that he knows too much about Crown Prince Friedrich's affairs?"
