Chapter 221 Arrangement

Just when Franz was still fantasizing about the next colonial plan of the Austrian Empire.

The British, unwilling to be lonely, made another move. They did not give up the Jewish state plan. Although the Ottoman Sultan Mejid was reluctant, he still sold Syria and large tracts of land near Jerusalem to the Jews at a very low price.

Under the deliberate exaggeration of the British and a group of Zionists, the land of Syria was described as a promised land full of gold and milk.

Even the Russian newspapers that hated Jews the most published this news. There was no way they gave too much. In addition, almost all European newspapers in Austria, France, Germany, and Spain reported the same news in succession.

Jews in European countries saw the news in the newspapers and were ecstatic to move their families. At first, politicians in various countries were worried that the Jews would take their wealth away, and whether the shops would close down on a large scale, leading to economic depression.

As a result, stock prices in many countries fell, and Franz decided to buy at the bottom, but he was not the only one who sensed the opportunity. Soon Franz discovered that all the major financial groups were also busy buying at the bottom, and the Jews were the most aggressive buyers.

Solomon Rothschild had been silent for a long time. He saw the opportunity and decided to buy at the bottom quietly. At this time, he just wanted to make a fortune quietly and did not want to continue to provoke the Austrian royal family.

In fact, there was a question in Solomon's mind that he had never figured out. Did the Habsburg royal family really regard him as an opponent? Otherwise, why did they target him everywhere? If they regarded him as an opponent, why didn't they beat him when he was down?

Solomon hid in a luxury suite in the Stephanie Hotel and kept an eye on the dynamics of stock market transactions with anxiety. Until he got reliable news: the royal family started to buy at the bottom. He breathed a sigh of relief and invested a huge amount of money in the stock market.

With the departure of the Jews, a large number of shops were listed for sale. But what people didn't expect was that the expected panic did not spread, but a large number of nobles, elites, and small businessmen were frantically buying.

Not only the shops, but also the markets they vacated, even the gangs and killers were busy.

In order to build momentum for the Jewish state, Britain even sent battleships from the Mediterranean Fleet to escort the Jews returning to Syria.

Soon the first batch of about 12,000 Jews returned to the place where their ancestors had lived. At this time, Israel had just experienced war, devastated, and in need of reconstruction.

Since the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries had bought this land from the Ottoman Empire, the first thing the Jews did when they arrived in Israel was to hire some tribes that were easier to control and began to expel those local tribes that were unwilling to leave.

In a short period of time, they established schools, hospitals, their own governments, and even armies to defend the land.

However, the number of Jews was still absolutely different from that of the locals, and the Armenian genocide that should have occurred at the same time did not happen.

The Armenian sheep ate the crops of the Ottomans, and were released after paying money and being beaten.

Several influential Ottoman religious groups mainly focused their experience on dealing with Israel, and they sent capable people to sneak in there. Among them, the chief of the Safavid sect, the Lord of Wanyi, personally took action and vowed to drive the evil pagans out of their sacred territory.

In the Ottoman Palace, Majid was enjoying the sunshine and rain in the flower hall, when suddenly a gloomy voice came from behind.

"Your Majesty, your subject Gulhat wants to see you."

Gulhat's voice made people feel uncomfortable. Majid pushed the beauty in his arms away and threw away the half piece of rose cake left in his hand.

"Go down"

At this time, there was a concubine who didn't know the current situation and tried to act coquettishly with Majid.

"Your Majesty~~"

"Bury her." Majid's tone was indifferent as if he was talking about something insignificant.

At this time, the concubine realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately shouted.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, I am your favorite Meiyem!"

"Let her shut up." Majid ordered the palace steward.

The old steward was very experienced. He took out an object from his inner pocket and stuffed it into Meiyem's mouth, and the other party could no longer scream.

After that, two eunuchs dragged the concubine away, and the rest of the concubines and cooks were so scared that they immediately fled the hall.

Finally, there were only two eunuch guards, the palace steward, Magid, and Gurhat in the hall.

Gurhat was Magid's spy chief. Even at noon, his body was still hidden in his hood, making it impossible to see his figure and appearance.

"What's the matter?" Magid held his forehead. This spy chief was quite capable, but he rarely brought good news. This time should be no exception. It would probably give him a headache.

"The sect has taken action. They are going to do something big in Israel."

"What big thing can these old stubborn people do?" Magid said.

"The leader of the sect wants to sacrifice 10,000 pagans and deprive them of everything." Gurhat's tone was cold.

Magid frowned, "When are they going to do it?"

"They are going to do it on Eid al-Adha." The Eid al-Adha of the Muslims was February 5, 1840.

The fanatics of the Ottoman Empire were not fools. They would not attack the Jews under the protection of the British. The top leaders of the sect believed that the British provided protection to the Jews more to show off their strength rather than to really help them, so this military action would not last too long.

Eid al-Adha is a very important festival for the people of the Ottoman Empire. Taking action on this day can maximize the influence of the sect.

Under the suppression of two generations of sultans, the strength of the sect in the Ottoman Empire was constantly declining. In order to compete with the government for faith, they had to choose to take risks and put on a grand show.

And there is no better target than these vampires, pagans, and invaders.

"They really know how to pick the time. Do they want me to miss the festival?" Magid teased.

However, Gurhat did not respond and seemed a little embarrassed. At this time, the court steward came out to make peace.

"Those damn lunatics just like to give the Sultan trouble. They should all be arrested and stoned."

Stoning is a relatively cruel punishment. It is not only cruel in the execution method, but also requires the family members of the prisoner to watch. It is a very cruel process.

People who are killed by stones usually have a body with intact faces.

"What should we do?" Gurhat asked.

"Don't worry, I hate those damn locusts too. Wait until those old stubborn people have finished dealing with the locusts, and then you can hand them over to the British, which will be an explanation to those pagans." Magid said.

In fact, Magid's ethnic equality policy has never been fully implemented within the Ottoman Empire, and even caused the gap between some ethnic groups to grow.

But the appearance of the Jews at this time inadvertently saved a group of Christians who were about to become victims.
