Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 418 The British royal family’s trump card is the Mellon family

London, England.

Lionel Rothschild, the head of the Rothschild family, was meeting with a distinguished guest.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited me this time just to tell me that we should let go and work hard in North America."

Lionel had a strange look on his face.

He did not expect that Prince Edward, the majestic crown prince of the British Empire, would come to the Rothschild family specifically to express his support for the Rothschild family in suppressing Dutch power in North America.

There was a sneer in his heart. According to what he had heard, it seemed that the crown prince was competing with the King of the Netherlands for William IV, resenting William IV for taking away Alexandra, the original Danish princess?
If this is the case, it is easier to understand.

However, would the British crown prince really have a fight with the king of another country because of a woman?

Lionel was a little disbelieving, but more importantly, he felt sad that Britain had such a crown prince who thought he was "ignorant of the general situation".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his attention from Crown Prince Edward to the British Prime Minister Disraeli who was visiting with him.

The "suggestion" put forward by Edward was beyond his expectations, but he was even more surprised when Crown Prince Edward arrived with Disraeli on the defense.

Did the Tories really choose to support Crown Prince Edward from the royal family as a breakthrough to improve their relationship with the royal family?

I just don’t know what Queen Victoria would think. Obviously, she wouldn’t refuse.

Lionel's eyes sparkled.

No one would think that Queen Victoria was a stupid woman. On the contrary, she should be a role model for women in the world. At least in governing the country, most kings in the world could not compare with her.

Even though the Rothschild family seems to be extremely prosperous at present, Lionel still feels a kind of pressure in front of the middle-aged woman Queen Victoria.It's pressure from those in power.

Yes, Lionel positioned himself as part of a family that had ascended to the British nobility, but still needed to remain humble in the presence of Britain's most noble Queen, Victoria.

Prime Minister Disraeli received Lionel's inquiry and said with a wry smile: "The Dutch influence in North America is too great at present. What the British cabinet government means is that we need to use some tools to stop it. The British Rothschild The family is the best way for Britain to intervene in North America privately without compromising Anglo-Dutch relations."

The British Rothschilds?folk?Without detracting from Anglo-Dutch relations?
Lionel focused on these words. What a prime minister of the British Empire. He said it so openly. Does he want us to be the vanguard of embarrassment for the Netherlands?

However, although this is what the Rothschild family is doing, the initiative is originally in our hands, but looking at Disraeli's intentions, it seems that he wants to control it remotely.

There are pros and cons to everything, and with the involvement of the British government, the Rothschild family will naturally feel less pressure.

But on the contrary, profit has always been the ultimate goal of the Luo family. If the British government participates, there will be twists and turns to a certain extent, especially when there are too many aspects that need to be taken into consideration, and it will be timid to do things. The Rothschild family and even the technological giants will delay the war as a result.Many times this is possible.

Because of this, he hesitated.Disraeli seemed to know what he was worried about, saying: "The Mellon family has always been very loyal to the British royal family."

Lionel was stunned at first, then his whole body was shaken, and he looked at Disraeli in disbelief.Looked at Crown Prince Edward again.

Crown Prince Edward felt proud when he saw this.

Look, let me just say, once the relationship between the Mellon family and the royal family is exposed, Lionel will definitely be shocked.

He first gave Disraeli a showy look, and then said calmly: "The Mellon family is one of the royal family's trump cards in North America. Please ask Mr. Lionel to help keep this secret as much as possible. Only in this way can we To get the maximum effect, you should know that the secret weapon can always use its power to the extreme."

Lionel's face was extremely excited as he said: "What His Highness said is that the Mellon family's influence in the Commonwealth of America is second only to the Randy family, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, ranking third there. Fourth, he has always adopted a neutral policy and is impartial, and he is a cohesive force among the middle forces in the United States.

Even within the consortium, it ranks sixth after the above three companies and the First Citibank Consortium and the Boston Consortium.

If people knew that they were secretly approaching us, it would definitely cause a storm in North America, and even cause a real earthquake in the political arena of the Commonwealth of America. "

Lionel looked at Crown Prince Edward with admiration, almost trying to get closer, and said: "The royal family didn't expect to have such a trump card. It's really intimidating."

Crown Prince Edward enjoyed the "appreciation" from the head of the richest family in Britain, and said happily: "I don't know, how is the Rothschild family in North America coping with the Dutch 'offensive'?"

When Lionel heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He sighed: "It's hard to describe in one sentence. The Dutch have a huge influence in the Commonwealth of America and their business is stable. I don't know whether to say it or not. The Netherlands takes advantage of the Commonwealth of America's fear of European powers. At the same time, immigrants from various countries also come to America." They all immigrated to live there after suffering many hardships in their original countries. So don’t look at what is said in newspapers today about people of all ethnic groups supporting leaders of all ethnic groups. In fact, let me tell you, this is all nonsense. talk.

Take the Germans as an example. Many of them share the same hatred and dislike the Prussians, because many immigrants immigrated after they hated Prussia and annexed other countries in the German Confederation. A subjugated slave who was forced to leave his homeland would support the occupation of himself. The new government of the original country? "

Crown Prince Edward's face was shocked. Yes, since all countries are like that, then is the Netherlands?

Lionel seemed to know what he was thinking. He shook his head and said: "The Dutch immigrants immigrated voluntarily, without force. For centuries, the East India Company has deployed its business, so everyone can see New York." On the streets, almost all shop owners are run by Dutch capital.

The Dutch are also very united. When encountering problems, they will almost always rush to help their ethnic group overcome difficulties.

I heard that in the Netherlands, they have established many welfare institutions and foundations to help individuals and groups in need. This is how they expand their influence in the United States, so in the United States, the Netherlands Not only do they not hate the local people, but they also try their best to safeguard local interests.President Andrew Johnson and the Dutch are the leaders of these people.

Of course, Dutch people still have many hidden strengths."

Disraeli suddenly said: "Just like the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family hidden by the Rothschild family?"

Lionel said: "It's not bad."
