Chapter 841 There is no way to speak
When the train entered Yanjing City, the maple leaves on Xiangshan Mountain were already as red as fire.
Compared with airplanes, the speed of train travel is too slow, and there are many stops and inspections, so it took Li Mo to go out this time unconsciously for three months.
The return of the emperor did not pay much attention, but the news that Yunia, after changing her name and surname, moved to Yingtai immediately after entering the park, caused a lot of stir. However, several imperial concubines behaved very indifferently. It seemed that they had long known that there was such a day, except for a few warnings to Emperor Li. In addition, he actually helped Yunya clean up his house, which made Li Mo, who had been worried about the fire in the harem on the way, very relieved.
He and the imperial concubines were well warmed for a few days. After a period of silver, Li Mo received the news that the fleet began to bomb the East Coast of the United States again.
But for him, the focus has shifted from pure war to post-war world distribution, national economic reconstruction and other things.
In the final analysis, in fact, Xinhua can fully accept the surrender of the United States. The reason why it is delayed is that the German navy still failed to break through. In the short term, it can't go to the North American continent to challenge its dominant position, and it can take advantage of this time to get more.
Secondly, we also hope to destroy the national potential of the United States to the greatest extent through this endless bombing. It's like if you tear down all the railways of the United States and then destroy the roadbed, it's better to even the roads are potholes. Then it will take five years to concentrate the national force just to return to the state of transportation before the war. And before the railway was repaired, other industries could not be fully launched, which forced the United States to need more recovery time, so his goal for the three armies was to blow up everything that could be blown up and remove everything that could be moved away.
After the bombing of the United States was launched again, the bombing of the General Staff in southern France did not approve it for a long time. On the contrary, Alfonso XIII's hesitating attitude angered the General Staff. Even Tang Shaoyi, who had just returned from Cairo, was impatient and demanded that Spain be forced to see the situation clearly as soon as possible.
In France, the German army also took the initiative to stop under the layers of resistance tactics of Fuxu and Kitchiner, but people can see at a glance that the British and French army did not have much desire to fight. The main reason why the German army stopped was the fatigue of continuous operations, and the European continent also officially entered a difficult winter. When the troop's mobility is not up to the level of World War II, it will face more difficulties in fighting in the harsh winter, so Hindenburg and Ludendorff would rather correct it.
The heavy snow began to fall in some places, and the war seemed to have entered a stable stage, but both sides were very clear that the power was being re-established little by little
..“ Oh, my God, Mr. Jacob, is this Shanghai?
Netro stood in the bow of the boat and almost couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at the buildings along the Huangpu River. Here, he saw not only European-style buildings, but also simple-style American-style buildings and Chinese-style buildings full of oriental styles, which surprised him from the Far East in the future.
"Yes, this is Shanghai." Jacob, who stood next to him, also took a deep breath. In fact, he was also the first time to come to Shanghai. Although the city quickly broke out after the beginning of the war with the advantage of a financial safe haven, it was not until he saw him with his own eyes that he dared to believe that he was known as the sick man of East Asia decades ago, and the streets were full of countries with yellow and thin skins. Unexpectedly, such a major change has taken place in just 20 years.
And all this is because of the birth of the "Far East Arsonist".
As the cruise ship gets closer to the dock, you can see the most prosperous area of Shanghai. Jacob, who has lived in London for a long time, traveled to major cities in Europe, and went to New York and other places in the United States, has to admit that although there seems to be a lack of hardware, he has caught up with the top cities in Europe. Not far away, maybe in another two or three years, some European cities will start to lag behind in front of it.
The beautiful and spectacular complex opened Jacob's eyes. At the same time, he did not forget his purpose of coming this time. He quickly searched for the building that had been seen many times in the photos.
Thomas, Asian headquarters!
Although Xinhua's strict supervision restricts the entry of Jewish funds, it does not mean that the Rothschild family will give up this emerging market with a population of 500 million and gradually increasing purchasing power, so the two have just arrived at the dock and have long been family members to welcome them.
"Mr. Jacob, I have contacted Mr. Thomas, but according to his company, Mr. Thomas is in Australia at the moment, and it will take the day after tomorrow to start from there." The person who came to greet him reported the latest situation to Jacob while driving.
"The day after tomorrow? From Australia? Doesn't it take half a month to get here?
"Mr. Natero, it doesn't take that long. Mr. Thomas has his own special plane. If he leaves the day after tomorrow, he can arrive in Shanghai in four days."
"Special plane? Joe, can you make it clear? Netro, who heard the word for the first time, was a little stunned, and even Jacob beside him frowned secretly.
"It's his own special plane." A low-level member of the family, known as Joe, explained: "It was given to Mr. Thomas by the emperor of China. It is said to be the latest large plane with four engines. From Shanghai to Australia, plus stopover refueling and overnight time, it can be reached in up to 2 days."
"You mean that Emperor Li Mo sent that kind of large plane to Thomas?"
"Yes, in addition to this large aircraft, Thomas also purchased several small passenger aircraft for the company's internal personnel to travel between cities, but I heard that these aircraft are piloted by Chinese pilots and are also prohibited from travel to areas outside Xinhua's control area."
Joe's detailed introduction made Jacob secretly surprised that Thomas had so many private planes. At the same time, he was also a little stunned that Li Mo took care of Thomas so much. You know, now the whole Europe is having a headache to find a way to get a complete Chinese plane, but Thomas Company already has several planes, even There are large planes with four engines, which shows how deep the relationship between Li Mo and Thomas is.
For a moment, Jacob was a little worried about the future of convincing Thomas to help the Rothschild family get out of the current predicament in the name that they were all Jews. He hurriedly asked, "Joe, has their financial department replied?"
Joe shook his head and said, "Mr. Jacob, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. They have rejected our proposal to open a bank and a trust company here, and I have also found some local Chinese businessmen, but they seem to have been hinted by some people and unwilling to joint venture with us."
"What about the stock and bond markets?"
"There are special departmental supervision in the stock, futures and bond markets, and Xinhua has fully implemented last month that commodities, domestic transactions and entry funds must be completely blue, and gold exchange has also been banned from private except banks, so unless we can carry the whole bag of blue coins, it is just It is difficult for currency exchange to make the entry and exit of funds undetected.
"Damn it."
Jacob cursed from the bottom of his heart, but he really admires Li Mo's method of being cautious, because no matter how thoroughly he plays finance and money, if he can't open a special company in the market and can't let the funds go in and out smoothly and out freely, then everything is a castle in the air. .
Suddenly, Jacob found that he seemed to have met a sea turtle with a hard shell, but his neck and claws were shrank, so that people had no choice but to look at it!
Although he believes that Xinhua can't become a turtle in his life, as long as he spends time and patience, he will definitely find a way to extend his tentacles. This is the reason why Joe comes here to stay, but no one expected that a war would break out, and Britain, France and the United States have lost so badly that it doesn't give the family a chance to breathe at all! Not to mention spending time looking for flaws.
"Why? Does Li Mo reject us Jews? Netero quickly asked.
"Exclusion? No, Mr. Netro, people who have not lived here will not think of it. These Chinese people will not reject you. Although they are sometimes curious about our appearance and language, they will not discriminate against us, and as long as they abide by the laws here, no one will come to trouble you. Joe said, "Of course, it's best if you can get your nationality, so that even if you are in trouble, the police and the political axe will help you."
"Joe, have you applied for naturalization?"
"I'm not that lucky. The naturalization process is very complicated, and it also requires skills and expertise."
"Isn't there any other way? God, we must leave Europe, or sooner or later the Germans will annex it.
Joe also heard about the crisis of the family, but he is only a low-level member of the Rothschild family. He has no say in such matters, so he can only shake his head: "I can't help it, but there may be a turning point when you see Mr. Thomas, because I heard that many of us Jews have been pushing him over the years. I was recommended to become a member of Xinhua nationality, and I also heard one thing.
Jacob and Natero, who were eager to get a general understanding of the situation, quickly straightened up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know if it's true or not. This is what a Chinese who does business in the north said. He came to me to buy wine that day and said it after he was drunk." Joe thought for a moment before saying, "He said that he had seen some Jewish soldiers in Xinhua military uniforms in the north, and the number seemed to be not small."
"What!"
Jacob almost jumped up from his seat excitedly. You should know that no matter which country it is, the army is one of the most confidential places, and it will not let outsiders intervene at all. Now it is said that there are Jewish soldiers serving in the New China Army. What does this mean?!
"Maybe it's just a bodyguard trained by Mr. Thomas." Joe didn't believe the rumor very much. He was afraid that it would affect Jacob's judgment. He quickly said, "Maybe that bastard is talking nonsense, because I've been there later and haven't seen any Jewish soldiers, and the locals haven't heard of it. No one can prove it."
The car travels slowly. Unlike Europe, which is hot with water, there is almost no impact of war here. There are still a lot of people on the streets and alleys. Only the chimney with black smoke in the distance is officially, and the country has been full of horsepower.
The car quickly drove into a villa specializing in selling European wine. Like all over the world, the Rothschild family still chose the best winemaking industry as the cover of the financial empire.
When Jacob entered the villa by car, a seemingly ordinary car had also slowly passed by the gate and quickly disappeared at the end of the street
