Make France Great Again
Chapter 23: Baron Rothschild's invitation
Just as Tyran was sorting out the items left by Prince Louis and cleaning the clutter on the carpet, a crisp knock came from the main hall to the corridor on the second floor.
After hearing the knock on the door, Tyran handed over the cleaning to the maid, and then went downstairs alone to open the door.
The door of the mansion opened, and an old-fashioned, white-haired, unsmiling old man appeared at the door of Bonaparte's mansion. He was wearing a short pleated Flacco dress, a bright black cotton-padded vest top, and a long black bottom. trousers, and a brown-grey cane in his hand.
"May I ask who you are?" Tyran carefully looked at the guy in front of him. In his memory, Prince Louis' friends were either young and motivated guys, or some retired soldiers, but never an old man.
Could it be that this guy is a friend of Prince Jerome?
"This is Prince Louis' mansion!" The old man asked Tai Lan politely, with a butler-like position on his face and a smile.
"That's right! This is Prince Louis' home!" After Tyran nodded, he added with a sad expression: "However, Prince Louis is no longer there! Now the mansion is hosted by Prince Jerome!"
The old man showed a regretful expression and said, "On behalf of my master, please allow me to express regret for the departure of Prince Louis! It's really a sad thing for a person as brave and upright as Prince Louis to return to the arms of God!"
"Yeah!" Tyran nodded quickly in agreement with the old man's statement, and asked again, "Which one is your master from Britain?"
The old man's expression changed from regret to seriousness. He considered his words and said, "My master is Baron Leonel Rothschild!"
"Lionel Rothschild!" Tyran's face changed greatly.
He is familiar with this name. He is the actual helmsman of the Rothschild Bank branch in the United Kingdom. [The Rothschild family has three branches in Europe, one in Britain, one in France, and One is located in Frankfurt. ] is also Louis. Napoleon's number one big creditor.
After the death of his father, the former King Louis of the Netherlands, Louis Napoleon reluctantly made up for the previous shortfall after selling the estate of the old Louis, and then borrowed 600,000 francs from the Rothschild Bank in the United Kingdom with Napoleon souvenirs as a mortgage.
"What's the matter with the Rothschild family? Prince Louis has left!" Tyran, who thought that the Rothschild family might come to collect debts, asked in a bad tone.
The old man obviously heard the badness in Tyran's words, but as a servant of the banker, how could he choose to shut up because the creditor was in a bad mood, the old man continued: "My master Baron Rothschild did not In other words, he just wants to invite Prince Jerome to visit the baron's mansion! If His Excellency the Prince has time!"
Having said that, the old man took out a big red invitation letter with a Rothschild mark and gave it to Tyran, exhorting: "Please give this to Prince Jerome!"
Tai Lan, who received the invitation, did not read the contents, but nodded in response, "I will pass the invitation to Prince Jerome!"
The old man showed a satisfied smile and left in the carriage.
Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Tai Lan sighed and placed the invitation letter on the living table in the main hall.
About 20 minutes later, Pessini and Jerome returned to the mansion in a carriage.
Tyran quickly got up to greet him, and informed Jerome of the arrival of Steward Leonel Rothschild.
"The Rothschilds?" Jerome Bonaparte, who was leaning forward on the sofa, stared at the red invitations on the guest table. He couldn't figure out why Rothschild needed Invite him to the mansion.
If it's just a simple debt collection, there is absolutely no need to invite Jerome to come over in such a "big fight".
The debt of 600,000 francs is really not worth the hands of Leonel Rothschild.
According to the equity of later generations, the property of the Rothschild family during this period totaled more than 90 million francs, which was only the resources that the Rothschild family could use.
What bankers are best at is to use their principal as a crowbar to win over some investors of equal economic strength, or some retail investors to increase their holdings or short the bonds of a certain country.
A single Rothschild is not scary, what is scary is the allied troops united by the Rothschild family and the retail investors deposited in the Rothschild Bank.
Just like the financial turmoil that Soros blew across Southeast Asia at the end of the 20th century, bankers in this period were best at “taking over” for the government.
Of course, the premise of this "take over" is that the government can bring them enough benefits.
"Why do you think Leonel Rothschild wants to see me?" Jerome Bonaparte turned to ask several Bonapartists present. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"I met Prince Louis back then, the head of Rothschild, he is not a kind person!" Pesini frowned, and Leonel Rothschild was obviously not there. Pessini expected.
"Why don't we refuse?" Fleury suggested, "It's just an invitation letter, it's on our side whether to go or not!"
"This is not just about an invitation letter, Fleury, you should start thinking about it!" Pesini said with a hatred of iron.
"Then what do you think it should be?" Fleury, who was a little unhappy at the death of Louis Napoleon, retorted.
Seeing that the whole room was about to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly stopped the topic. He was afraid that if he continued talking like this, the entire Bonaparte party would fall apart.
"Okay! Pessini, Fleury, what we say won't help! If the other party really has bad intentions, it won't help us no matter how much we struggle!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and said helplessly. : "After all, the situation is stronger than people, we can't resist! Of course, I believe that Baron Leonel Rothschild would not do such a thing! If he really does..."
Jerome Bonaparte paused for a while, and said with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Then he will be ready to live with the Bonaparte family! I will completely eradicate this European "cancer" in my lifetime! Europe is not Jewish Europe, how can we allow a Jew to ride on Europa's head!"
Nineteenth-century Europe was still in the midst of a wave of anti-Semitism, not to mention the turbulent years of 1848.
The death of a Jewish banker or two was apparently not uncommon.
