Make France Great Again

Just as Tai Lan was sorting out the items left by Prince Louis and cleaning the sundries on the carpet, a crisp knock on the door came from the main hall to the corridor on the second floor.

After hearing the knock on the door, Tailan handed over the cleaning work to the maid, and went downstairs to open the door alone, holding the handrail of the stairs.

The door of the mansion opened, and an old man with an old face, gray hair, and a serious expression appeared at the door of Bonaparte's mansion. He was wearing a short pleated veffleck dress with a bright black cotton vest inside, and a long black long skirt. He was wearing trousers and was holding a brown-gray cane in his hand.

"May I ask who you are?" Tai Lan carefully looked at the guy in front of him. In his memory, Prince Louis' friends were either young and energetic guys, or some retired soldiers, but there had never been any old people.

Could it be that this guy in front of him is a friend of Prince Jerome?

"This is Prince Louis' mansion!" The old man asked Tailan politely, with a smile on his face as a butler.

"That's right! This is the home of Prince Louis!" After Tailan nodded, he added with a sad expression: "However, Prince Louis is no longer here! Now the mansion is hosted by Prince Jerome!"

The old man showed a regretful expression and said: "On behalf of my master, please allow me to express my regret for the departure of Prince Louis! It is really a sad thing for a courageous and upright man like Prince Louis to return to the embrace of God!"

"Yes!" Tai Lan quickly nodded in agreement with the old man's statement, and asked again: "Who is your master from Britain?"

The old man's expression changed from regret to seriousness, and he said carefully, "My master is Baron Lionel Rothschild!"

"Lionel Rothschild!" Tai Lan's expression changed drastically.

He is very familiar with this name, he is the actual helm of the branch of the Rothschild Bank in the United Kingdom, [the Rothschild family has three branches in Europe, one is located in Britain, one is located in France, and One is located in Frankfurt. 】It is also the number one creditor of Louis Napoleon.

Louis Napoleon, after the death of his father, former Dutch King Louis the Old, sold the property of the old Louis and barely made up the previous deficit, and then borrowed 600,000 francs from the Rothschild Bank of Britain with Napoleon souvenirs as collateral.

"May I ask what's the matter with the Rothschild family? Prince Louis has already left!" Tailan asked in a bad tone, thinking that the Rothschild family might come to collect debts.

The old man obviously heard the badness in Tailan's words, but as a banker's servant, how could he choose to shut up because of the bad mood of the creditor? The old man continued: "My master Baron Rothschild did not In other words, he just wants to invite Prince Jerome to visit the baron's mansion! If His Excellency has time!"

After all, the old man took out a big red invitation letter with the Rothschild logo on it, handed it to Tailan and said: "Please be sure to give this to Prince Jerome!"

Tai Lan, who received the invitation, did not read the content inside, nodded and responded: "I will pass the invitation to Prince Jerome!"

The old man showed a satisfied smile and left in a carriage.

Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Tai Lan sighed and placed the invitation letter on the living room table.

About 20 minutes later, Pessini and Jerome returned to the mansion in a carriage.

Tai Lan quickly stood up to greet him, and informed Jerome of the arrival of the butler Lionel Rothschild.

"The Rothschild family?" Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting on the sofa and leaning slightly forward, stared intently at the big red invitation card on the guest table. He couldn't figure out why Rothschild needed Invite him to the mansion.

If it's just a simple debt collection, there is no need to invite Jerome to go over like this.

A debt of 600,000 francs was not worth Lionel Rothschild's own hands.

According to the equity of later generations, the property of the Rothschild family during this period totaled more than 90 million francs, and this is only the resources that the Rothschild family can use.

What bankers are best at is to use their own principal as a crowbar to win over some economic strengths, or some retail investors to increase or short the bonds of a certain country.

A single Rothschild is not terrible, what is terrible is the allied forces united with the Rothschild family and the retail investors deposited in the Rothschild bank.

Just like the financial turmoil caused by Soros in Southeast Asia at the end of the 20th century, bankers in this period were best at "taking over" for the government.

Of course, the premise of this "acceptance" is that the government can bring them enough benefits.

"Why do you think Lionel Rothschild wants to see me?" Jerome Bonaparte turned to ask several Bonapartists present.

"I met this one with Prince Louis, the head of Rothschild's family. He is not a kind person!" Pessini frowned, and Lionel Rothschild was obviously not there. Persini expected.

"Why don't we refuse?" Fleury suggested, "It's just an invitation letter, it's up to us whether we go or not!"

"This is not just about an invitation letter, Fleury, you should start thinking about it!" Pessini said bitterly.

"Then what do you think it should be?" Fleury, who was a little upset because of the death of Louis Napoleon, retorted.

Seeing that the whole room was about to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly stopped this topic. He was afraid that the whole Bonaparte party would fall apart if he continued talking like this.

"Okay! Pessini, Fleury, what we say is useless! If the other party really has evil intentions, no matter how hard we struggle!" Jerome Bonaparte said helplessly, spreading his hands : "After all, the situation is stronger than people now, we can't resist! Of course, I believe that Baron Lionel Rothschild would not do such a thing! If he really did..."

Jérôme Bonaparte paused, and said with a hint of venom in his eyes: "Then he is going to fight the Bonaparte family forever! I will completely eradicate this European "cancer" in my lifetime! Europe is not Jewish Europe, how can we allow a Jew to ride on Europa's head!"

In the 19th century, Europe was still in a wave of anti-Semitism, let alone the turbulent era of 1848.

The death of a Jewish banker or two was apparently not uncommon.
