Chapter 838 The Troubles of the Sixth Empire

In the early morning, the Vatican City was full of devout believers from Italy and even Europe. They gathered in front of the cathedral and listened quietly to the church bells, hoping to recall the peace of three years ago.

However, with the end of the bell, one warplane after another broke the calm of the Christian holy land.

People looked at the sky in panic, scattered in fear, and muttered one after another. Can't they protect themselves here?

Just when everyone was most nervous, the Italian soldiers of the brigade suddenly rushed to the seaside, and then the country was pushed to a dead end because of the wrong choice after the beginning of the war. Enumaelle III, who hid in Vatican City for continuous failure but fear of being overthrown, also after the defeat in the Ionian Sea. Appeared in front of the public.

A moment later, the people gathered on the hill suddenly found that a fleet slowly appeared on the coast, and the bright red blood cloud dragon claw flag stung everyone at once.

"God, why did they come here?"

"No, do these damn infidels want to bombard the city?"

"Maggie, let's get out of here!"

The appearance of two Guam-class battleships immediately triggered a fierce panic in Vatican City, but soon it was found that Enumaelle III and the soldiers did not leave, but continued to walk to the seaside.

"Son, the king of Italy is here."

In the Guam, Li Xiuyan raised his telescope and looked at the lonely and haggard Enumaelle III, who suddenly remembered a sentence.

The head of the city changed the king's flag, and the white emperor's head was worried overnight.

Li Xiuyan smiled and put down the telescope: "Let's go and tell the soldiers not to shoot at will. This is not an ordinary place."

"Yes."

The transport ship slowly leaned against the dock, and then under the gaze of all the Italians, the Xinhua Marines in blue camouflage began to walk down the gangway. Looking at the pagans who were once in everyone's mouths quickly and skillfully control the whole dock, Enumaelle III's mouth was full of bitterness.

In order to respect the Pope and save some face for Enumaelle III, all warships did not directly dock. After all, this is a holy place for Christians all over the world. Even in the case of indiscriminate bombing of the Italian coastline, it was deliberately circled without any blow.

"Dear His Majesty Enumaelle, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too, General Li."

When Li Xiuyan bent down to see Enumaelle III with European etiquette, the latter also looked at the young general who was called a butcher by Europe and directed the defeat of the Italian navy in the Ionia Sea with great care.

A straight imperial navy general's official uniform, white gloves pinched in the left hand, and skillful European etiquette. If he were an unfamiliar person, he would definitely not think this young man was terrible.

His fame also made the corners of Enumaelle III's mouth twitch, and gathered around. The Italians who entered the Vatican City to avoid the war widened their eyes. They never thought that Li Xiuyan would say hello to Enumaelle III with a worship ceremony.

Is it?

Just as everyone was surprised, the news of the two explosion surnames suddenly came out.

Italy returns to the alliance!

Xinhua's first batch of grain fleets composed of 40 large ocean-going 10,000-ton ships are waiting to enter the port behind the fleet!

In an instant, the whole Vatican was caught in a carnival. For those ordinary Italians, they no longer have to worry about shells flying from the coast every day, without having to face terrible planes or worrying about terrible famine.

In the face of the cheering crowd, Enumaelle III almost shed tears, because just as he took Li Xiuyan and the officers of the Seventh Fleet to visit Vatican City and carefully prepared a dinner for them, his gold and silver were being continuously sent into the only cargo ship docked.

"Damn, is this spoon silver? Don't fool us, right?"

"Why don't you bite it with your teeth?"

"Haha."

Facing piles of gold and silver utensils sent from all over Italy, Li Xiuyan and others were also stunned. They thought that these things were ingots, but they didn't expect that most of them were scattered small objects. In the end, the receivers sent by the logistics department even had to find a big scale temporarily.

Fortunately, most of the 230 tons of gold extracted from the central bank have been recast.

It took three days. After 230 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver were all sent to the transport ship, Enumaelle III seemed to be a big circle old, because everyone knew that the war was actually meaningless to Italy, and the tragedy was to sincerely repent to the alliance. The new Italian political axe must also help build the Malta base and reorganize its troops to attack Nice and Marseille.

On October 10, with the arrival of transport ships full of food and supplies, the food shortage crisis that permeated over Italy began to gradually dissipate. Enumaelle III began to reorganize the troops and put the troops previously deployed on the Italian-Osian border into the Italian-French border.

Italy returned to the agreement and began to deploy its troops on the Italian-French border like a giant bomb, which completely stunned France.

While scolding Italy for being despicable, France began to transfer troops to reinforce the Italian-French border. Because the German army kept attacking in the north, France could no longer take out too many troops, and the atmosphere of failure began to permeate the whole of Europe.

Similarly, in the United States across the Atlantic, chaos and turbulence fill every inch of land.

On October 19, after the ammunition transport ship finally arrived in Bermuda, the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Xinhua Fifth Task Force were rejuvenated. At the same time, the arriving Thor bombers also bombed major cities in South Carolina for the first time and began a new round of attack

.. The carriage hurried on the country road, and the dense and neat vines next to it had begun to fall, and the brown leaves seemed to cover the whole plantation with a carpet.

In the past, it was a busy time to trim the branches and leaves and prepare for the vines to winter. Natero, who was sitting in the car, would also take care of the best vineyard in Bordeaux like a treasure. But now, only a few farmers can be seen in the wide plantation, a bleak and depressed scene.

The car stopped at the door of the Baroque villa. The moment the waiter opened the door, Netro came out impatiently and hurriedly walked into the house without even being in the mood to say hello to the housekeeper who came to greet him.

In a spacious study on the second floor, several men with wine glasses and luxurious clothes immediately put down the curtains when they saw the arrival of Natero.

This manor and the wide grape plantation outside are one of the best plantations in Bordeaux. Although it nominally belongs to a French nobleman named Acres, it actually belongs to the Rothschild family.

Netro's footsteps were very fast. When he opened the door and walked into the study, he saw that Chang'an Seni and several family members had arrived and hurriedly saluted everyone.

The Rothschild family is not only one of the richest families in the world, but also a family that strictly adheres to the system of superiority and inferiority. But today, as a patriarch, Anthany, who has beautiful curly hair, can no longer take care of these false salutees. He quickly asked Natero to sit down and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's not good."

Natero sighed and said, "I just got the news from the United States that the Chinese fleet of ammunition has arrived in Bermuda three days ago. According to Winster, a total of 135 tons of ships arrived there, unloading no less than 4 million gallons of fuel and about 250,000 tons of ammunition!"

"God! Are they going to destroy the United States? A member of the military family who didn't understand next to him covered his mouth and was stunned by such a huge number. But Anseni was not too surprised. For a battle in the European battlefield to consume millions of shells, this number is not guaranteed to be completely needed, not to mention that he does not believe that the Xinhua Navy will stay on the East Coast of the United States forever. Everyone knows that as long as the British mainland is not threatened, Germany will not be freed from the mainland so quickly.

To be the helm of the Rothschild family, Antherney has a keen sense of smell beyond ordinary people. He knows very well that Xinhua is not as easy as it shows. Especially after the expedition to North America, its logistics, transportation, etc. have become the biggest obstacles. Such an expedition is extremely difficult, and every 100 tons of materials transported is also It will consume about 20 tons, so it was possible for the Allied Command to kill Xinhua with the North American battlefield. According to his calculations, as long as it can be delayed for 2 years, everything will change significantly.

But he never thought that the powerful United States before the war would lose so quickly and fiercely that it lost all its navy in less than a year. Six states in the south had been occupied, and the remaining two declared autonomy.

"What about Italy?"

"Italy has delivered 230 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver to Xinhua, and promised to pay them 100 million blue coins and interest every year for the next 15 years. Yesterday, this batch of things passed the Suez Canal."

Natero's narrative makes even Ansenyi, who has long regarded money as a digital game, twitch his lips. Few people know that several major banks, including the Central Bank of Italy and the Bank of Venice, are actually inextricably related to his family. To put it simply, when the Italian political axe withdraws the gold reserves stored in these banks and sends them to the Chinese, it is equivalent to digging money from the pockets of the Rothschild family.

"The patriarch, there is also a message that is also very important." Looking at the frown, Nate [***] gritted his teeth and said all the bad news, "We got the news. Six days ago, the nephew of the former governor of Guam, Spain, the current Mr. Snow of the New China Southern Ocean Trading Company, appeared in Valencia. I doubt it."

"Is Spain going to surrender too?!" A member of the family next to him jumped up from the chair. Italy is already stationing troops on the Italian-French border. If Spain does the same, France will die immediately!

"Gentlemen, we are not here to discuss the war today." Another family member interrupted everyone's conversation and pulled the topic back: "Natero, how's that going?"

"No, Mr. Jacob." Netero shook his head again and said to Jacob helplessly, "I have contacted Rockefeller and Morgan, and all the things that can buy Chinese bonds through them have been blocked back."

"What? Are they going to betray us?"

"It's not betrayal, it's not that they don't help, but the Chinese refused."

"Why!"

Anthney was also a little surprised to hear that his purchase of bonds was rejected. Did Li Mo think he had too much money? This is obvious to send him money!

"The Chinese don't refuse us to buy bonds, but they don't accept third-country currencies now, and they can't even use overseas assets as collateral. They only accept hard currency at present."

"Hard currency!"

Jacob, who asked, jumped up directly. What kind of hard currency was there during the war? He immediately scolded, "Damn it, that Li Mo is too greedy. Does he want to take away the gold of the whole world?"

"We can't give in. At worst, we will go to the Netherlands or Brazil. They are all neutral countries and will not be affected for the time being."

"Are you kidding? Without a powerful political axe in front of us, can we keep our property? When Germany or Xinhua park in front of their homes with warships, do you think they will accept a doomed war for us?

"Jacob is right. If we want to keep our wealth, we must join hands with a powerful political axe."

In the conversation between the members of the family, Anseny also frowned. He knew that if he could not find a suitable place as soon as possible, even if the Rothschild family was not annexed by the greedy Juncker group, they would be eager to pay the compensation after failure, and the British, French and political axe to rebuild the country would be completely divided up.

In the final analysis, this is the sorrow of businessmen. The richer the businessman is, the more he needs a strong regime to stand in front of him, otherwise he will become the prey under the gunfire! No businessman can fight against the state machine, unless.

Let your enemies have scruples!

But is it possible?

Although Germany has such a huge thing as the Bank of Frankfurt, Europeans all know that it is not the Rothschild family that supports Germany, but the greedy Juncker group, so they will not be soft on themselves.

Now the second person who can protect himself is the strong man from the Far East, but the question is that his country has stricter restrictions on Jewish funds, and now he also refuses to use assets as collateral to buy bonds. In this case, will he still shelter himself? Even if you are willing, how much will it cost?

"The patriarch."

After thinking for a while, Natelow suddenly lowered his voice: "Snead is secretly contacting like-minded people, and he has received the support of a large number of soldiers. Do you think we can?"

"You want to support their coup!" Antheny raised his voice.

"Is there any other way for us? Perhaps a French New Deal axe that is willing to listen to us will bring some new opportunities.

"No, I can't." Jacob immediately shook his head: "Snead and Lenin have a close relationship. He has always dreamed of establishing a Soviet in France, but those who call themselves the Red Army are now raising butcher knives to our Jews in Don! Can any of you guarantee that Sneider will not be the next tyrant?

"But this is our only chance. Only by allowing France and Germany to quickly reach an armistice agreement can we get a chance to breathe."

"No, I insist."

"Datero, give him some support appropriately, but you must not expose us." After everyone finished speaking, Antherney suddenly raised his hand and said, "Jacob, go to China immediately to find someone."

"Looking for someone, who?"

"Thomas!"
