Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 1077 The British Royal Family’s Personal Top Secret Files

"I think it is strange that the Rothschild family has become more and more indifferent to British affairs in recent years and has not supported the government on major issues."

Queen Victoria stared at Robert Cecil, the third Marquess of Salisbury, the current leader of the Tory Party, and motioned for him to continue.

Robert Cecil was ready and ignored everyone's surprise and said: "The first-generation leader Meyer deployed his five sons in the capitals of the most important European countries in the early 189th century and used their branches in various European countries to obtain Political and economic intelligence are quickly communicated with each other. In this way, they can often quickly understand the political and economic trends in various places in Frankfurt, and recommend actions to win by surprise.

These five brothers successively established banks in famous European cities such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, and Naples, establishing the largest financial kingdom we have ever seen in the world.

Even the five brothers relied on their excellent financial acumen to successfully establish hegemony across Europe. During this period, they also cooperated in using funds to help defeat Napoleon I, the First French Empire.

Therefore, in their heyday since the 1830s, their turbulent power made the princes and nobles of Europe willing to defeat them."

Gladstone's expression worsened when he saw everyone present. Cecil had succeeded in arousing everyone's dissatisfaction with the Rothschild family.

Understand that this is the approach of a Conservative Party that has always been suspicious of loyalty to the bourgeoisie.

However, I have to say that I support Robert Cecil and directly take advantage of the biggest bourgeoisie in the UK. Looking at the dissatisfied look on the Queen’s face, I really hit the target.

Challenging the royal power, being disloyal, and not fully safeguarding British interests, etc.

All this made Gladstone understand that starting today, the royal family is even more distrustful of the Rothschild family.

Cecil took out a printed A4 paper and gave it to Queen Victoria with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is the sample will that I obtained from the Frankfurt headquarters of the Rothschild family through channels that the founder of the family, Meyer Rothschild, made before his death in 1812. Please take a look."

The people present were even more shocked when they heard this. This will has always been mysterious, and outsiders have no way of knowing it. Now Robert Cecil has actually obtained it?

For this reason, everyone present looked at the paper in Queen Victoria's hand with curiosity, because the answer was on the paper.

Queen Victoria's eyes fell on the neatly printed words on the paper.

She read it again, her face became even more embarrassed, and then she slammed the paper on the table next to her and said to the eager Prince Edward: "Read it out to everyone and see the mystery of Mayer of the Rothschild family." 's will"

Crown Prince Edward picked it up and looked at it with anticipation, his face equally ugly.

With the expectations of several people, he read it out according to the script.

"First, all important positions in the family bank must be held by family insiders and never by outsiders. Only male family members can participate in family business activities."

"Second, family intermarriage can only be carried out between expressions to prevent the dilution and outflow of wealth."

"Third, property status is absolutely not allowed to be announced to the outside world."

“Fourth, lawyers are absolutely not allowed to get involved in property inheritance.”

"Fifth, the eldest son of each family is the leader of each family. Only with the unanimous consent of the family can the second son be selected to take over."

"Sixth, if there are not enough cousin women to intermarry, then it can be relaxed to allow intermarriage with other Jewish banking families, and it is not allowed to exceed this limit."

Everyone present was stressed about the will.

As Britain's prime minister for four terms, Gladstone also felt troubled.

The Rothschild family's financial strength in the UK is like the roots of the old uncle's tree, which has taken root in all aspects of British capital.

The impact is huge, and if it is touched, it will further destabilize Britain's already swaying economy.

Therefore, moving the Rothschild family has become a difficult choice.

Moreover, he couldn't make a choice if it hurt the country. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the queen sitting at the top.

Others also thought of it and went together, all waiting for Queen Victoria's instructions.

At this time, orders from the top are the best choice.

Queen Victoria was also in a dilemma. The damn Rothschild family had too great an influence on Britain, to the point where it could not fail.

The Queen hesitated for a moment, then asked a few people to rest for a while. She stood up and left for 5 minutes, and then came over with a whole book of information on the Rothschild family.

Without further ado, let’s get straight to the point.

"In 1798, Nathan Rothschild left Frankfurt and came to our side of Manchester to establish Rothschild Brothers as a commission agent responsible for coordinating the supply of British textiles to his father Meyer in the European land market."

Taking advantage of his success in bypassing middlemen and purchasing textiles directly from manufacturers, Nathan quickly built an impressive reputation and became a successful businessman based on the principles of high turnover and modest profits.

For his part, he was soon trading in gems, wine, and other specialties from England and abroad.By the turn of the century, Napoleon's blockade completely stopped British textile exports, dealing a blow to Nathan, a commission agent.Nathan immediately changed careers. He hoped to expand his commercial trade in London to purely financial activities, discounts and acceptances. To this end, he changed careers again and successfully, for which he gained reputation.

And in 1804, he changed his nationality in London and became a British businessman. "

The book in the Queen's hands contains top-secret information about Nathan. It is generally difficult for anyone present to see it. This is the royal family's secret information.

Obviously, the royal family is also supervising the Rothschild family. Of course, whether others are on the supervision list is anyone's guess.

"Twenty years later, Nathan has become a British financial tycoon, but he is not satisfied anymore. Twenty years later, he once again chose to expand his industry business.

He took advantage of the growing number of businessmen in Britain who were impatient with the high insurance premiums levied on them by the virtual cartel led by Lloyds, and who began to form their own insurance companies.

At this time, Nathan Rothschild founded Alliance Assurance Company with Moses Montefiore, who had extensive experience in this industry.It became Britain's largest insurance company in the year 1824, with many members of the Rothschild family serving as directors and chairman over the years.

It’s funny to say that when we established this company, it was because Nathan Rothschild caused his relatives to fail to get a position in another company and mobilize connections to build alliances.”

Although he said it was funny, the queen actually looked unhappy.

"Britain's first economic crisis broke out in 1825, causing many national banks to suspend payments, resulting in a shortage of funds. The Bank of England decided, too late, to relax restrictions on discounting.

The bank's reserves began to increase as a large sum from Nathan Rothschild's house supported the bank.There can be no doubt that this was the reserve used in operations to save the Bank of England. On Friday, December 1825, 12, he paid £16 to the Bank of England, keeping the bank open during the dark days.

The whole of Britain praised Nathan's goodness, but because of this, Nathan's shares were included in the Bank of England. "

Everyone knows that this is the background that established Nathan Rothschild as a financial emperor.

Queen Victoria certainly understood this.

“In 1836, Nathan Rothschild died, and his eldest son Lionel Rothschild led the London branch of the family.

Immediately after taking over, Lionel and several brothers established NM Rothschild and Sons Bank in 1836. The business continued to develop steadily, the bank's customer list increased, and it was finally renamed the Bank of London.

Where the infrastructure of railways became an important feature, Lionel is remembered by all the British for his aid to Britain in 1875, where he helped to secure funds to purchase Khedive's shares in the Suez Canal. "

She still felt a little unhappy when she thought that Rothschild had received dividends from the Suez Canal, which she had finally obtained from France.

“In 1850, the Bank of London began business contact with Reuters, Britain’s largest official newspaper. At that time, the Bank of London used Reuters’ pigeon transport tools and telegraph system.

Reuters approached the Rothschilds, seeking them as clients for its services, and Lionel and his brothers, the men behind the London bank, became early backers of the Reuters telegraph, later expanding to speed information transmission across Europe. And send biased code information to its global agents and enterprises.This effectively helps the Rothschild family to intercept useful information channels around the world.”

"In 1852, Lionel established a London branch providing prudent financial advice to a number of private clients, many of whom were personal friends.

Lionel was even my mother, the Duchess of Kent, serving chocolate at the breakfast table in the 1820s.

Lionel Rothschild also serves as personal financial advisor to my husband, Prince Albert.

Even while vacationing in the Scottish Highlands, my brother Prince Albert began to fall in love with the landscape and people and decided to buy a private home there to spend his private holidays.It was in this year that Prince Albert purchased for me Balmore Castle and the original manor house, on Rothschild's account.Since then, Prince Albert and I have regularly used the fast service provided by Rothschild's British branch for overseas communications, and I even rated them as completely safe and fast. "

"In 1847, Lionel Rothschild was elected to the London City Council, but he rejected the true Christian faith, so that after 11 years of establishment, his seat was empty because he did not declare it. It was not until 1858 when British law changed that he, as a member of Parliament, could sit proudly."

It is the first time in British history that one person takes the lead and does not take an oath to change the law. It is strange that the Queen is happy.

"In 1869, Lionel established the first hospital in England, officially entering a new industry again."

"In the same year, Alfred, Nathan's youngest son, became a director of the Bank of England, officially joining the largest bank in the UK and becoming the bank's first Jewish director."

“In 1872, with the collaboration of Léon Beale, the Channel Tunnel Association was established in England and began to raise funds. In 1875, the Paris Channel Tunnel Association was established, and the Rothschild subscription of the Paris branch provided funds. However, due to the opposition of most members of our Congress, it was It has stopped until now.”

"In 1873, Lionel took the lead in acquiring the Rio Tinto copper mine, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, the UK's largest mining company, and followed the trend to become a 20% stake in Rio Tinto."

“In 1875, Lionel Rothschild began to issue a large amount of money, but it was not used in the British Isles, but for the construction of railways in the Indian subcontinent. The Bengal and British North Western Railway Company and Lionel jointly A 1876% loan of £220 million was issued in 10. A similar loan was issued by the Bengal Central Railway Company in 1878.
Lionel Rothschild died in 1879, and his eldest son Nathaniel Rothschild accepted the British branch.

In 1880, there was another big issue, this time of £300 million from the Bengal and Nagpur Railway Company Limited, in which Lionel participated. "

Queen Victoria closed the top secret information in her hand.

In one breath, she actually told the British branch of the Rothschild family from beginning to end, describing the general trend of the family's development in the UK.

It was also very detailed, and several people present learned a lot from it that they didn’t know before.

"Everyone, the Rothschild family has existed in Europe for a long time, not only in the United Kingdom, but also in several other countries. Except for the Kingdom of Italy, which was unified in 1860, after the influence of the Rothschild family weakened and had to be reduced, other countries are expanding. . Therefore, it takes a lot of courage to move it.”

Queen Victoria had actually wanted to move Luo Shi for a long time, but she was also unable to do so alone.

In fact, what ordinary people don't know is that Nathan Rothschild died in 1836. In May 1837, the third uncle of the then King William IV of England and Queen Victoria passed away.Then he came up as the niece.

Many people are saying that in fact, Nathan's financial influence was too strong, so it was William IV, his uncle, who cleared it for his niece.Specifically, outsiders knew the truth, but Queen Victoria knew it, but would not tell it.

And no one present would ask.

Robert Cecil took the initiative tonight, which was a very bad thing for Gladstone.

Therefore, he knew that he needed to "compete" with Cecil for favor in front of the Queen.

"Your Majesty, judging from the above information, the Rothschild family is still very united. If we completely touch them, we will alert the enemy, causing the Rothschilds in the other four European countries to counterattack, which will make things worse for us. After all, we are now with the Netherlands. Currently competing”

He further said: "The Netherlands is already prosperous. If Roche joins the Netherlands and sweeps British investment into the Netherlands, then the Dutch economic strength will be further improved, which is definitely not good news for the UK."

"No," Robert Cecil objected: "I don't agree with what the Prime Minister said."

Gladstone glared at Cecil angrily, "What does the Marquis of Salisbury mean?"

Cecil said calmly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. I think Nathaniel Rothschild is a smart man. He knows that Britain will not have a better development without us."

"Because he understands that William IV is a more powerful monarch, and the Netherlands he controls will not allow Roche to gain his position in the UK in the Netherlands. Therefore, I am sure that he can give away the profits appropriately without moving the British III. island"
