Chapter 820 Anti-Semitic Movement in Europe
After a while, Napoleon IV sighed helplessly, seeing that the Foreign Minister still did not speak.
It is not a day or two that France has been isolated from European countries, it can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The Bonaparte dynasty has been besieged since its establishment.
In order to change the isolation in politics and diplomacy, successive French governments have made efforts, but unfortunately with little success.
As if it was cursed, every time the French government improves relations with European countries, it will not take long for a major incident to break out again, filling up the hatred value again.
Not to mention that, in the era of Napoleon III, relations with European countries were eased, and then the Italian region was annexed, and all the previous diplomatic efforts were lost.
Napoleon IV made the same efforts after he succeeded to the throne, again without exception. It's just that this time it's not them doing things, but someone doing them.
The ending was the same. The diplomatic relations, which had finally improved, immediately dropped to freezing point.
Even the Spanish government, helped by the French, is not lukewarm to them, and is not an ally at all.
In this context, it is no doubt that the Foreign Ministry persuaded European countries to agree to the French government's issuance of bonds in various countries.
After hesitating again and again, Napoleon IV said slowly: "The refugee relief program is temporarily cancelled, and negotiations with the consortium are restarted."
Facts once again prove that no money is absolutely impossible. The large-scale farm project has just started, and even the seeds have not been sown, and now France is still a food importer.
Take the government's precious foreign exchange to buy food from abroad to aid the colony's natives. For the colonists, this was a very extravagant act.
When the government had money, Napoleon IV didn't mind showing kindness and saving these "laborers". If you don't have money now, don't worry about it.
Prime Minister Terence Bulkin reminded: "Your Majesty, now negotiate with the consortium, they will definitely speak loudly, and the price that needs to be paid..."
Napoleon IV interrupted: "Do we still have a choice? Domestic cotton stocks have been exhausted, most cotton textile enterprises are laying off workers and reducing production, and unemployment has increased sharply.
If the cotton production in Egypt is not resumed soon, the domestic textile enterprises will all die. What will happen to the millions of textile workers then? "
Knowing that drinking poison to quench his thirst, Napoleon IV still had no choice. The market needs confidence to prevent capitalists from seeing hope. Bankruptcies and unemployment will soon follow.
In order not to have another great revolution, Napoleon IV had no choice but to admit that he knew that there would be endless troubles for compromising with the consortium.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Vernon said with some trepidation: "How about we anti-Semitic?"
This proposal is not without purpose. Jews are important creditors of the French government, holding at least one-third of the French government's debt.
If the anti-Semitic movement is launched, these debts will not have to be repaid. If they raided their homes and confiscated Jewish assets, the current difficulties would be over.
After hesitating for a while, Napoleon IV nodded: "Send a talk with the Jewish consortium first, and if they are willing to lend money to the government, let them go."
Money or death, this is a difficult choice. The tragedy is that the Jews who do the multiple-choice questions have no idea of the consequences of rejection.
Even if someone wants to get it, it is difficult to give up in the face of interests. It can be said that since Napoleon IV made this decision, a new round of anti-Semitic movement in France has begun.
...
Vienna Palace, put down the newspaper in his hand, and Franz found something wrong. In the recent period of time, there has been a sudden increase in news exposing the dark history of Jews in Europe.
With years of political experience, Franz was certain that this was a premeditated targeting action.
Otherwise, there are black-hearted capitalists everywhere these days, why are all the Jewish capitalists exposed in the newspapers?
Of course, newspapers are definitely fine. The news published above is full of pictures and facts, and the events that happened can be real hammered, fully fulfilling the responsibility of journalists.
Even if you know that someone is pushing the hand behind it, there is nothing you can do. What should be reported should still be reported. Who makes Jewish capital unclean.
Although the Vienna government has stricter control of the news, the core is to seek truth from facts, and to combat rumors and rhythm. This kind of real news is not within the scope of control.
Not to mention exposing the dark history of Jewish capitalists, even if they are domestic elites, as long as there is evidence of their crimes, newspapers can still expose them.
...
On Christmas Eve, French economist Julien Faubert gave a speech on the radio entitled "Beware of those behind the economic crisis", targeting Jewish consortia.
Immediately afterwards, a number of French experts and scholars made public speeches, placing the responsibility for the deterioration of the domestic economy on the head of the Jewish consortium.
Under the deliberate indulgence of the French government, violence against Jews increased for a while.
Sensing the imminent danger, the experienced Jewish capitalists immediately resorted to the invincible "franc" PR.
However, this time is too late. Since the breakdown of the negotiations, the French government has made up its mind.
On January 4, 1886, the Paris government investigated many domestic banks on the grounds of "suspected of colluding with foreign hostile forces to short francs and engage in financial crimes", pushing the anti-Semitic movement to a climax.
...
With the passage of time, the anti-Semitic movement in Europe became more and more powerful, and the Jews were once again caught in the dilemma of everyone shouting and beating.
January 11, 1886 Mayor of the Free City of Frankfurt
Edward Yorke published an article in the Austrian daily slamming Jewish capital for manipulating stock prices and fabricating "good and bad news" out of thin air to make huge profits.
Prior to this, the Frankfurt Securities Regulatory Commission had issued investigation orders to a number of Jewish capital-controlled securities companies and foundations.
The news was hammered, and the anti-Semitic movement spread to Austria. Countless leeks are gnashing their teeth hard on the Jews.
In this era of inconvenient communication, it took just over a month for the anti-Semitic movement to go from warm-up to high, which is enough to prove that Jews are qualified to blame.
...
At the government meeting, Franz asked blankly, "What do you think of the growing civil anti-Semitic movement?"
Not only is the civil anti-Semitic movement on the rise, but even anti-Semitic voices in the government have occupied the mainstream, but limited by the rules, everyone does not publicly express their views.
Not being able to express a position does not mean that there is no way to be anti-Semitic. It's okay to publish some dark history of Jewish capital, and Edward York is just one of them.
Recently, many agencies such as industry and commerce, quality inspection, labor inspection commission, tax bureau, securities management commission, etc. have been taking action.
They are all cracking down on crimes within the scope of the rules, and every action has tangible evidence, and no one can say anything.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation might get out of control, Franz would not bother to ask. After all, cracking down on crimes is itself the function of government departments.
As long as the punishment is in accordance with Austrian law and there is no abuse of power, there is no problem.
Prime Minister Karl: "Your Majesty, since the anti-Semitic movement started by the French, the tide of anti-Semitism on the European continent has been rising.
The domestic situation was fairly stable, and it did not spread to ordinary Jews, and most of those targeted were Jewish capitalists.
The government has strengthened public security control, prohibiting violent acts such as beating, smashing, looting and burning.
At the same time, the government also encourages the public to expose all violations and crimes. We will never tolerate these criminals. "
Franz rubbed his forehead, he now understood. In recent times, Jewish capitalists have been frequently unlucky, and the root cause is here.
There are very few fully legal capitalists these days. As long as you investigate carefully, you will always be able to find problems.
Because it was too involved, Franz couldn't kill everyone with one stick. He could only pick a few with serious problems to kill the chickens and show the monkeys.
The Jewish capitalists themselves had their own problems, and these problems were exposed at a time of anti-Semitism across Europe, no doubt hitting the gun.
Seeing that the Jewish capitalists were upset, Prime Minister Karl made it clear this time that he would be businesslike and punished in full accordance with Austrian laws and regulations, and may even be severely punished.
Knowing is knowing, Franz has no intention of stopping. The dignity of the law must be maintained, and it is completely reasonable and legal for the government to do so.
"You just know what you have in mind. You must be strict in combating crimes, but it is strictly forbidden to escalate things.
In order to stabilize the domestic economy, the government must also do a good job in the aftermath of the law, especially to stabilize employment.
When it comes to personnel-intensive industries such as manufacturing factories, state-owned enterprises can take over the operation first, and then public auctions can be held according to laws and regulations after the dust settles. "
