I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 751: Rebellion
By 1923, the economy was beginning to recover, but it had not yet returned to the level of 1913.

Europeans, who had suffered from successive world wars and economic crises, were physically and mentally exhausted. Many people became more devout in their faith, and the church became their spiritual refuge.

At this time, a "pagan" suddenly claimed that he would blow up God's tomb. Although this was unlikely, it still aroused people's anger.

The Suez Canal Company's headquarters is located on King's Road in Chelsea, London. The day after The Times exposed William's inappropriate words and deeds, hundreds of Christians gathered in front of the canal company's headquarters, waving crosses in their hands and shouting slogans in unison, demanding that the "pagans" get out of London.

London police who received the alarm arrived at the scene and found that there were reporters conducting interviews and the church members did not attack the canal company. So the police did not disperse the crowd, but stayed at the scene to prevent the situation from escalating further.

The next day, almost all newspapers in London reported William's inappropriate words and deeds, and critics also came out to publicly criticize the canal company's greedy behavior.

The pharaoh's tomb is the heritage of all mankind.

For its own selfish interests, the canal company was willing to blow up the tombs in order to advance the project. This will be a loss for all mankind.

By the third day, French and Russian newspapers followed suit.

The French newspapers were relatively restrained and only focused on William's remarks without exaggerating them.

Russian newspapers were unscrupulous. The Constantinople Daily not only reported the actions of the Canal Company but also gave a detailed account of the history of the Hebrews.

It was through the reports of the Constantinople Daily that many Russians learned that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, was a Hebrew.

It is through this report that we understand why the Hebrews have been wandering for thousands of years.

To sum up the history of the Hebrews, it can only be described as they reaped what they sowed.

If the report of the Constantinople Daily only restored the true face of the Hebrews, the follow-up report of the Berlin Daily completely detonated Germany.

Just as the German army lost the First World War in confusion, ordinary Germans did not know why the price of bread in Berlin was skyrocketing, nor did they know why wealthy Hebrew businessmen would rather destroy expired food than sell it at a discount to the poor.

Now there are answers to all this.

On July 7, George finally saw the report about the beer hall in the newspaper.

The Constantinople Daily did not report on the beer hall in detail. It only had a piece of news the size of a tofu block, saying that the Berlin police crushed an unsuccessful riot, which resulted in a total of 19 deaths. The name of the man with the mustache was not even mentioned in the newspaper.

In 1923, there was so much news of this kind that it happened every day without causing any waves.

William's inappropriate words and deeds were different.

A full month has passed since William planned to blow up God's tomb, and even the British Crown Prince's love affair failed to steal William's limelight.

Affected by William, the stocks of the canal company continued to fall, and the issuance of bonds did not go smoothly. Even when they were sold at a 50% discount, no one was interested.

On July 7, the canal expansion project was suspended again due to running out of funds.

The media's abnormal attention to William and the abnormalities of the canal company finally aroused the Rothschild family's vigilance.

Although William's words were excessive, they were obviously unintentional and more of an emotional outburst, not directed at anyone.

Rothschild had hoped that people would forget about the incident over time.

But unexpectedly, a month has passed and the number of people gathered in front of the canal company to protest has not decreased, but has increased.

Don't these people need to go to work?
Or is that just their job?

Under heavy pressure, William made another mistake.

On July 7, an out-of-control car crashed into a crowd, killing four people and injuring 29.

After the driver was arrested, he admitted that he was instructed by William. On the 30th, William was taken away from the canal company headquarters by London police.

As the canal company repeatedly encountered accidents, the Egyptian government's attitude towards the canal became increasingly tough.

If writing the canal recovery into the constitution was just a test by Fuad, then after getting the support of Nicholas Jr., Egypt finally saw the possibility of regaining the canal.

In June this year, angry Egyptian people once again poured into the canal zone, demanding the withdrawal of British troops.

This time the British army learned their lesson and did not open fire.

This not only failed to offset the anger of the Egyptians, but instead exposed the weak nature of the British army.

On August 8, Nasser again demanded that British troops withdraw and hand over the Suez Canal to the Egyptian government for management.

Since April last year, Egypt has demanded the withdrawal of British troops at every general assembly.

Balfour ignored Nasser's request, and representatives from other countries did not take it seriously either.

This time Nasser's voice was particularly loud because he had the support of Nicolas the Younger and Clemenceau.

Little Nicholas has always been against Britain, and the representatives have become accustomed to it.

The French, who have always been in cahoots with the British, also began to support the Egyptians, which made many people feel unusual at the first glance.

"Since Britain has no intention of occupying the Suez Canal, what is the point of stationing troops in the canal zone?"

Clemenceau's dislike for the British reached its peak.

After the closure of the Suez Canal, the cost of merchant ships traveling between France and its Asian colonies doubled because they had to go around Africa.

"The expansion is progressing slowly. If London is unwilling to bear the cost, it might as well give the opportunity to someone who is willing to take responsibility."

Prince Antonio from Italy added fuel to the fire, as Italy also suffered heavy losses from the canal closure.

"The slow progress of the canal project is not the fault of London, but someone else."

Belfort glared at little Nicolas.

Little Nicholas was delighted beyond measure.

When the canal was first closed, people thought that Russia would be the worst affected.

Now, as time goes by, people are surprised to find that not only has Russia's interests not been harmed, but Russia has benefited from the increased dependence of countries around the Mediterranean on Russia.

But if we conclude that Russia is behind this, then there is clearly a lack of evidence.

"Indeed, the British government is certainly not responsible. The British troops stationed in Egypt are not to protect British interests, but the interests of certain British families - tsk tsk, how pitiful -"

Little Nicholas's hypocrisy is disgusting.

"Isn't Russia one of them? Who are you qualified to laugh at?"

Belfort was careless and fell into the trap of little Nicholas.

"In your words, Russia is a barbaric country, we are all barbarians, and you are civilized people. How can civilized people be the same as barbarians!"

Little Nicholas made Belfort collapse, so he shouldn't have paid any attention to this guy.
