Chapter 68 Bills of exchange, the Netherlands, syndicates and war
When he heard Madefield coming for the second time, Peter's mouth showed a trace of doubt.
Prussia shouldn't be the one who's so anxious.
Frederick was famous for claiming that his thoughts were not restricted by religion, and he also mocked the monarchs of various countries.
"Your Majesty! My Prussian minister and Russian minister Madefield congratulate you!"
When Madefield arrived, he didn't say anything else, but gave him a big gift first.
After Peter felt it, he smiled and asked:
"Where does joy come from?"
Madefield was full of joy, and he said with a fervent expression:
"Your Majesty, after what happened yesterday, your reputation will spread throughout Russia. From now on, Russians will truly regard you as their little father. Not even Bestudev can stop you from displaying your ruling talents. This is of course
Great joy!"
Peter smiled slightly, showing a proud look, and said with infinite joy:
"Yes, that's right. Why didn't I think of this? It seems that as a subject of Frederick, Baron, you have a different perspective."
Hearing Peter's admiration for Frederick in his words, Madefield couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Your Majesty, in this case, I wonder if you would allow Madefield, a minister of King Frederick and a man of great love for Russia, to continue to stay in Russia in order to make further contributions to the deepening friendship between the two countries?"
Madefield became nervous, and all the letters he sent to the Queen fell into obscurity. Although he suspected that there might be a change, now when Peter III said this in front of Peter III, he could decide the outcome with just one sentence, so he had to feel uneasy.
Peter glanced at Madefield and said disapprovingly:
"What did I think it was? That's it. Don't worry, I have already told my aunt. Don't worry, just stay in Russia. At most, I will spend some money to collect some rare treasures from various countries to please my aunt. Mader
Field, if you leave Russia, how will I learn about Frederick?"
"By the way, tell me if King Frederick has introduced new military uniforms and military formations."
Peter looked eager and interested.
Madefield was moved to tears. Peter III from Holstein was really a good partner of Prussia.
He immediately said righteously:
"Your Majesty, how can I ask you to spend your own money to make up for my mistake? I have a money order here. Please be sure to hand it down so that I can have some peace of mind."
Peter said a few polite words, but seeing Madefield's firm look on his face, he had no choice but to say:
"The friendship between Russia and Prussia is like this money order. It looks light on the surface, but in fact it is heavier than a mountain."
This sentence made Madefield even more delighted.
Then Peter took the money order and glanced at it. It was indeed quite heavy.
It seems that Madefield spent a lot of money, 300,000 rubles, in order to stay in Russia, which also meant to repair the relationship between Russia and Prussia.
300,000 rubles is a lot. If you spend the maximum 500 rubles to buy a Russian adult male serf, you can buy 600 of them with this money.
If you buy cheaper, you can buy more.
For ordinary citizens, it is an astronomical sum of money.
Auntie's face was quite valuable, Peter happily accepted it, and then sighed:
"With our relationship, why would this happen?"
Madefield expressed that he had a different opinion, and his majesty would only be at ease if he accepted him.
Peter looked helpless at this.
After chatting with Madefield for a while about the Prussian military uniforms and arrays, Peter sent the ambassador who had been in Russia for more than twenty years away.
Then Peter met with the ambassadors of Britain, France, and Switzerland, and finally met his old friend the ambassador of Denmark.
Some of this group of ambassadors, like the Austrian ambassador, used money to obtain artifacts and eliminate the impact on their religion. Some of them expressed strong support for intellectual property rights on behalf of their monarchs, indicating that Emperor Peter's masterpieces must be published in their countries.
No deliberate obstruction.
Denmark is a small country that spends the most money.
Now the Danish ambassador has heard that there are major changes in Sweden, and he is afraid that Russia and Sweden will unite to destroy Denmark.
After this wave, Peter gained more than 1.5 million rubles, which can be regarded as a small sum of money.
All the money orders came from a bank in the Netherlands, which reminded Peter of the Jews, with cold eyes.
Before Israel, Jews were famous for having no homeland and being very wealthy. They held a lot of wealth and in-demand commodities in their hands. From the darkness of the Middle Ages to the present in Europe, the Jews were disgusted by nobles and monarchs but had to interact with them.
existence.
Because when kings and nobles faced financial difficulties caused by various reasons, they often asked Jews to borrow money, but they might not be able to repay it afterwards. The monarchs with violent machines in their hands would find ways to kill the creditors and then die in debt.
Eliminate, feel relaxed all over.
Not only did the king do this, but nobles and local lords also often disguised themselves as bandits to kill and rob Jews.
Under such circumstances, the sense of crisis that they often faced with killings made the Jews become cunning and united, and in the process of mutual exchanges with their fellow citizens, they established a network of financial exchanges across Europe.
The manifestation of this network of relationships is the banking system, which is one of the representatives of finance.
At first, the financial center of Europe was Naples, Italy. Later, due to frequent changes in the local situation, when the king became stronger, he would expel the Jews and divide their wealth. The financial center gradually moved to the Netherlands in Central Europe, that is, the Netherlands.
, then moved to the United Kingdom, and finally to the United States. Since then, it has taken root in the United States and established a banking and financial system across the world, as well as various other financial organizations.
Russia also turned against the Jews, but in 1903, it took the form of the publication of a book, "Minutes of the Elders of Zion". The theme of this book was anti-Semitism, and the content described the Jewish conspiracy to conquer the world.
In the previous battles in international finance, Tsarist Russia was not in the forefront, and Britain and France were the areas where Jewish financial supremacy was concentrated.
There are naturally reasons why the Jews were rebelled in Britain and France. The most vicious and abhorrent thing about them is that they do not hesitate to manipulate war for the sake of money.
It is a pity for France that the French consortium was killed by the Jewish consortium, France became a puppet, and only the British consortium was left to fight.
The British consortium was relatively powerful at the time. In order to deal with the British consortium, the Jewish consortium wanted the United States to come forward.
The American consortium did not dare to move at that time, so the Jewish consortium used the consortium that controlled France to urge Germany to go to war with Britain as a pledge of support.
This strategy was to use Germany to consume the British consortium. The final result was that the Jewish consortium that controlled France gave up the European continent and supplied Germany with all its strength to attack Britain. Britain collapsed under the joint attack of the American consortium, the American-Jewish consortium, and the French-Jewish consortium.
The British consortium was robbed by the American consortium in the Latin American financial market. The American consortium relied on war to support war, and Germany pressed harder. British financial capital shrank faster and faster, and there were fewer and fewer ways to make money, and war expenses were spent.
