Chapter 460 The Rothschild Family!
As soon as the Civil War broke out, no matter who won the war in the end, the huge government debt caused by the huge war expenditures will force the US federal government to borrow abroad, and finally follow the path they planned.
According to the accurate information obtained by Chen Mo, it is the Rothschild family, the richest man in Europe and the largest banker force, who is driving the war behind the scenes.
During the war, they provided loans and sold major materials to the nobles of the warring countries, and handled international remittances and currency exchanges between European countries. Investment firmly holds the lifeblood of a country economically.
After spreading its power all over Europe, the Rothschilds set their sights on the United States.
In the autumn of 1859, the European banker Solomon Rothschild came to the southern United States. At that time, the United States was full of agents of British financiers. Solomon skillfully used these agents to continuously highlight and strengthen the issue of slavery between the North and the South. conflict of economic interests, and successfully catalyzed the slavery issue into an irreconcilable contradiction between the North and the South.
In talks with locals, Solomon Rothschild publicly stated that he would strongly support the South in economic terms, and would help the independent South gain the recognition of European powers.
At this time, there was also a powerful supporter on the north side. He was the Jewish banker August Belmont, known as the king of Fifth Avenue in New York.
August came to New York in 1837. Because of the purchase of a large number of government bonds, he soon became a leader in New York's financial circle. August also stated in public many times that he represented the British Ross. Child Bank, willing to support the North financially.
In fact, the two bankers, August and Solomon, who supported the North and South respectively, belonged to the same Rothschild family.
August Belmonte was the agent of Rothschild Bank in the United States and a major supporter of Henry Clay and the Whig Party, but he had worked secretly in the United States for more than 20 years, but he never failed. With great progress, the Rothschild family sent core members of the family to deal with American issues.
Solomon Rothschild is the second son of Mayer Rothschild, the founder of the Rothschild family, and one of the "Roche Five Tigers".
Mayer Rothschild sent his five sons, the "Roche Five Tigers", to London in England, Paris in France, Vienna in Austria, Frankfurt in Germany, Naples in Italy and other famous European cities to open banks and control European finance. Solomon Rothschild himself came to the United States after the defeat of August Belmont, his agent sent to the United States.
In fact, the outbreak of the Civil War is a matter of time. If they hadn't killed Zachary Taylor, who resolutely resisted slavery and had a very tough attitude, the Civil War might have broken out long ago, and after years of brewing and continuous fermentation , the contradiction between the North and the South has become more acute, and at this time, their intervention and fueling the flames only made this long-awaited war break out ahead of schedule.
With their full push, the American Civil War broke out as these bankers had expected. In the early days of the war, the military offensive in the south was victorious, and the army was retreating because the treasury of the Lincoln government in the north was empty. If there is no money, the war will end soon and the South will win.
At this time, it was the turn of the "well-meaning" bankers to come on stage. They proposed a financing plan to Lincoln and offered conditions: the bond interest is 24% to 36%!
Only then did Lincoln realize that the bankers were playing a game that could completely bankrupt the U.S. government.
The bankers succeeded in putting Lincoln in a dilemma. Without money, they could only wait for the South to blow the horn of victory; and if they accepted the rules of the game of the bankers, even if the war was won, the government would be in control. to bankers.
For this reason, Lincoln visited Chen Mo again, hoping that Chen Mo could provide financial support to the Northern Federation, but Chen Mo rejected him again.
Now is not the time for the emergence of private central banks. He has not experienced several financial crises, and has realized the potential threat of laissez-faire and free financial policies and the huge damage to the economy. Even if he succeeds in creating a central bank by taking advantage of this war, he will Like the short-lived First Bank of America and Bank of America Second, the government survived the crisis after the war and was closed after the license expired.
However, Chen Mo did not let it go, but suggested that Lincoln let the government issue its own currency!
This approach was a bolt from the blue for European bankers, and the Times of London, which represents the bankers' position, immediately issued a statement:
“If this disgusting new currency policy (Lincoln Green) that originated in the United States is made permanent, then the government can issue its own currency at no cost. It will be able to pay all its debts and no more debts, it All necessary currency will be obtained to develop commerce, this country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy in the world!"
Lincoln caused heavy losses to the bankers who had been providing huge financial support to the South, and smashed the conspiracy of the family. How could they just let it go!
With these years of infiltration in Congress, they have a clear grasp of Lincoln's whereabouts, and selected John Booth as their "shooter"!
Under some careful planning and arrangement, a series of coincidences caused Abraham Lincoln to die like this inexplicably.
After Lincoln's death, under the manipulation of international financial forces, the US Congress announced the abolition of Lincoln's new currency policy, stipulating that the issuance of Lincoln's new currency should be capped at no more than 400 million US dollars.
Chen Mo did not intervene in these matters. Chen Mo does not intend to change these important historical events, because it is likely to change the direction of future history. Lincoln's "death" did not weaken his control over the Republican Party and Congress, including the new currency. The abolition of the policy was also carried out with the tacit approval of Chen Mo.
European bankers thought they were in control of everything, but they didn't know that their every move was being watched by Chen Mo. It involved a major historical event such as the "Lincoln assassination". It can still be handled at will.
During the First World War, under the target of an invisible force, the Rothschild family and other famous European financial families suffered annihilation in the war. Most of their industries were seized and confiscated, and family members suffered heavy casualties. These huge forces that had secretly controlled the European economy were smashed.
