James Rothschild was of course dissatisfied with everything that happened in Berlin, especially when he received the report from Benjamin and learned that there were Russians who wanted to ruin his good deeds, he was particularly angry.
Why? Because he had reached an agreement with Schwarzenberg very early on and agreed to use his financial influence to cooperate with Schwarzenberg to stabilize Austria's precarious position in Germany. Schwarzenberg especially asked him to help.
To deal with the Prussians who are ready to take action, we must not let the Prussians stab us in the back.
That's why James Rothschild paid so much attention to the news that William I was planning to borrow money. He believed that as long as the Rothschild family became William I's creditor, it would be better to be a loan shark, which would help Rothschild.
The Childe family controlled William I. As long as they controlled William I, were they still far away from controlling Prussia?
It is a pity that this beautiful ambition was shattered so quickly. Not only did Benjamin fail to complete his instructions, he even found out from Prussian sources that the real purpose of William I's loan was to bribe the weaklings in the German Confederation and provide services to Prussia.
Seek special status in the Confederacy.
This was tantamount to a double blow. He not only failed to fulfill Schwarzenberg's instructions, but also brought Prussia closer to Russia. How could he explain to Schwarzenberg?
Although the main business scope of the Rothschild family has exceeded the German Confederation, and it does not rely on Austrian business for survival, Austria, as the home of the Rothschild family, cannot be lost.
"Benjamin disappointed me so much. This was a major mistake. I asked him to correct the mistake immediately and get things back on the right track!"
James Rothschild immediately issued the sternest warning, and he unabashedly revealed his anger and disappointment.
"Your Excellency, I feel that Benjamin alone cannot correct the mistake. This is not only because of his limited ability, but also because his opponent is too powerful!"
James Rothschild glanced at his assistant, pushed up the monocle on his left eye, and asked angrily: "The opponent is too strong? Are you trying to excuse Benjamin? Jacob?"
Jacob was of course excusing his old friend Benjamin, not only because of their friendship over the past many years, but also because of the 100,000 taler gold coins Benjamin offered. If Benjamin fell, the person who replaced him would probably not be so wise.
.
"Of course not, Your Excellency!"
Jacob very calmly lowered his head slightly and replied calmly: "According to my understanding, Benjamin's opponent this time is probably the special envoy of Duke Alexander. Because this special envoy has the support of Duke Alexander, he can easily provide
An interest-free loan of one million thalers was given to Prince William, which was the key reason for Benjamin's failure."
“One million talers interest-free loan!”
A cold light flashed on James Rothschild's monocle. Although this number was nothing to him, the fact that he could collect one million talers in a short time was enough to show that the Russians were determined to win.
.
"Damn the Russians, they are still so greedy!"
When mentioning Russia, James Rothschild's tone revealed hatred from the bottom of his heart. The reason is very simple, because although there are a large number of Jews living in Russia, the living conditions of these Jews are not very good, or very bad.
Too bad. It is said that the reason was that Nicholas I, a religious fanatic, particularly hated the Jews and believed that the Jews were the culprits in betraying Christ.
Sometimes James Rothschild found it funny. It was no longer the Middle Ages, so why did he still have such fanatical thoughts like a crusade? Especially when he heard that Nicholas I was still keen to recapture Constantine.
When visiting Fort and Jerusalem, they all felt that the Tsar was really ridiculous.
Of course, it is ridiculous, but James Rothschild still deeply hates Nicholas I and the Russia he represents. If there is a way to dismember this evil empire, James Rothschild
Willing to contribute all the family property.
"Well, the Russian intervention is indeed an objective reason!"
Don't think that James Rothschild relented, because he immediately changed the topic and said: "But this cannot be used as an excuse for poor work. Tell Benjamin, I will give him a chance to correct it, and never do it again."
Disappoint me!"
Jacob was calm on the surface, but there were turmoils in his heart, because James Rothschild seemed to have given him a chance, but in fact it was useless. Even he could see that Benjamin had fallen into
At a disadvantage, he had no chance to reverse the situation. It would be very difficult for him to prevent the situation in Berlin from deteriorating, let alone correct his mistakes.
However, Jacob also knew that James Rothschild would not let go anymore. Even if he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. The only way was to quickly inform his old friend so that he could be smart and prepare early!
So why did James Rothschild treat Benjamin so harshly? The reason was not that he was unkind, but that he wanted to deliberately beat Benjamin. In the past four or five years, the Rothschild family’s business in Berlin has not
Too much growth, but the Prussian economy was booming, which is telling.
James Rothschild felt that Benjamin was resting on his laurels and not making progress, so he deliberately found an excuse to beat him and make him wake up. If this could not wake him up, then he would consider changing to another one in Berlin.
There are representatives who can better safeguard the interests of the Rothschild family - such as Gerson's father Samuel.
When James Rothschild issued the ultimatum to Benjamin, Duke Alexander was also nervously paying attention to the situation in Berlin, because the news he brought from the news network in St. Petersburg was not particularly good.
Under the instigation of Nicholas I, Nicholas I was very interested in further strengthening cooperation with Austria, which means that Russia's foreign policy will further tilt towards Austria, which is not a good thing!
Duke Alexander was also a little annoyed about this, because he had already agreed with his domestic partners that he would handle foreign affairs, such as Austrian and Prussian affairs, and he would try his best to seek more benefits for Russia. But in
The country must block the obstruction of Neserroddie and his gang, but now it is clear that the country is out of control again!
For this reason, he wrote angrily: "...Strong measures must be taken to promote Neserrode's downfall as soon as possible. If this person continues to be the prime minister for one day, it will be a huge harm to Russia and us...
