1855 United States Tycoon

"And the international situation is even worse for Russia." Little Morgan added, "The money in the hands of the Russians is simply not enough to support them to go to the Far East to fight a long-term war. To fight, you can only borrow money. Hopefully. Husband Uncle, I think it’s impossible for you to lend money to the Russians?"

"Of course, I am not a fool." Jacob Schiff replied.

"Then I believe Rothschild would not lend money to the Russians." Morgan continued, "The British have long looked upon the Russians in the Far East. They are also worried that if the Russians control Manchuria, they will Damage to the interests of Britain. Therefore, it is impossible for them to borrow money in the United Kingdom. Moreover, the British have just finished the Boer War and it is said that they have spent a lot of money. There is money, but if you want the Germans to come up with the money, Russia must make a substantial concession in the Balkans. I don’t think the Russians are willing to make such an exchange. Then the only possibility is France."

Having said that, Little Morgan stopped, took a sip of water, and then said slowly in a mocking tone:

"France and Russia are allies, but the fact that the Russians really won in the Far East is extremely detrimental to France, because this means that for a long time, the Russians will continue to invest their own power in the development of the Far East. And the power they can invest in Europe will be greatly reduced. And this is not good news for France. The French woo Russia, isn’t it just to use Russian power to contain Germany? If you help the Russians Winning, it will actually reduce Russia's ability to contain Germany. No matter how you look at it, this is a loss. Of course, considering the friendly relationship with Russia, the French may give Russia some symbolic help, but it is definitely not. There will be something more substantial. Of course, after the battle is over and the Russians have failed, the French may give the Russians some more substantial assistance."

"It seems, it seems that the Russian navy is stronger than Japan." Jacob Schiff asked.

"Yes, but the Russian navy is divided into two parts, the Baltic Sea and the Far East. Neither part of them is better than the Japanese navy. Once a war starts, it is entirely possible to be destroyed by the Japanese. In addition, according to our understanding of the Japanese navy, they The level of training is not bad, it should be much better than the Russians." Grey Stone replied.

"However, Russians are also white no matter what." Jacob Schiff is still a little worried.

Indeed, in this era, white people are the darling of God, and the seemingly proper racism and politically incorrect things such as the supremacy of white people are almost the mainstream consciousness of society in that era. In the eyes of white people in that era, only white people can be regarded as serious human beings, and other people of color can also be regarded as complete human beings?

Moreover, the pride of white people is not without foundation. Since the era of the great voyage, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, white people have become outstanding in every aspect. In the war against non-white people, white people have hardly failed, and they are basically triumphs. What are dozens of people destroying an empire, and thousands of people burning people’s palaces? …Anyway, the performance of races other than the whites in the war with the whites made the whites feel that it is no different from hunting.

If Japan is a white country, after listening to these analyses, there is no need for such a detailed analysis. Jacob Schiff would believe that Japan can win. However, Japan is a country of colored people. It is a group of yellow-skinned monkeys. Of course it’s okay for them to bully the Qing country, which is also colored. After all, they are now the most white-like colored people in the world. But can they win against the whites?

"The white man will die if he gets a shot." Greystone said coldly. "It's like our Mr. President, isn't it?" He suddenly remembered what Own's father said to him, so he started to learn. In the tone of his father when he said this to himself, he said: "It is never the skin color or anything else that determines the victory or defeat, but the power of capital. Now the capital of the entire world hopes that the Russians will fail, how can they possibly win? Moreover, you are a Jew, you tell me, why have the Russians been so vigorously persecuting Jews during this period of time?"

"This..." Jacob Schiff couldn't answer for a while. Does this need to be asked? Isn’t it true that Jews have not been pleasing to the eye since ancient times? Isn’t Jew rectification a thing with a long cultural tradition? What reason is needed for this? Isn't it a reason to see you not pleasing to the eye?

"Because they said the Jews assassinated the previous tsar..." Jacob Schiff said.

"Do you believe this kind of nonsense?"

"That...that is their habitual hatred of Jews...because we are heretics...and they are jealous that we have money..." Jacob Schiff always thought this way, but now he feels very embarrassed to say so. .

"In this world, there is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason." Grey Stone once again misappropriated Scrooge's famous quote from later generations. When both CEIBS and CEIBS were expelling Jews, Russia was willing to accept them. Then think about the difference between the situation now and then?"

"I thought about..." Jacob Schiff said, "At that time, Russia was in urgent need of funds and factories to keep up with the European beat, and now, now..."

"The Russian economy is very bad now, and the Russians are living very badly. The whole Russian society is boiling with dissatisfaction and brewing the danger of revolution. The farms of the most conservative small landlords are going bankrupt, and the estates of the big nobles are getting worse. The ever-increasing lack of money will even affect their decent life. And the damn thing is, the standard of decent life is much higher now than decades ago.

The nobles are all dissatisfied with Life, and the life of the serfs who have just been free is naturally even more difficult, and the domestic market naturally lacks demand. And because of the poor industrial level, Russia's industry, not to mention the overseas market, even the domestic market cannot keep it. Under such circumstances, the life of factories and banks will not be easy, factories will go bankrupt, banks will be closed, and workers will be unemployed. With so much dissatisfaction accumulated, Russia has become a big powder keg. As long as there is a Mars, it may cause a revolution.

The Russian government cannot sit back and watch the accumulation of such anger. They cannot simply suppress it. They must find a punching bag for these anger and prepare a pressure relief valve for this society. Now, Mr. Schiff, do you think what I said makes sense? "Grey Stone said.

"You are right." Jacob Schiff nodded and said, "The Russian government is unable to solve the domestic economic problems, so it uses my people as a punching bag and pressure relief valve to vent social dissatisfaction. They deliberately indulge and even encourage the people. Come to persecute us, and after those thugs vent their anger on my people, they will no longer hate the tsarist government. These bastards!"

When it comes to the end, Jacob Schiff has a bit of gritted teeth.

"But this also shows the fragility of the Russian government at this time." Greystone said, "So, as long as there is a war, as long as the war is delayed, the Russian government will not be able to survive for long under internal and external pressure. Even on the battlefield. In fact, those Russian troops can really count as ten. Even if one Russian is killed or ten Japanese are killed, as long as the war drags on, the Russian government will face the risk of revolution. Besides, can the Russians really be considered completely white? They are just a group of gray animals. I don’t believe that they can make such an exchange ratio. In today’s situation, the whole world will support Japan, so there is no suspense at all. For us now, it really makes sense. It’s how to take the opportunity to rob Russia and Japan."

"Okay," said Jacob Schiff. "Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Morgan, what do you need me to do?"
