James Rothschild was of course dissatisfied with everything that happened in Berlin, especially when he received Benjamin's report and learned that there were Russians trying to spoil him, he was particularly angry.

why? Because he reached an agreement with Schwarzenberg very early on, agreeing to use his financial influence to cooperate with Schwarzenberg to stabilize Austria's precarious position in Germany. Schwarzenberg especially asked him to help with the imminent move Prussians, never let a Prussian stab you in the back.

That's why James Rothschild paid so much attention to the news that William I was going to borrow money. He believed that as long as the Rothschild family became William I's creditors, it would be better if they were usury creditors, which would help Ross. The Childe family controlled William I. As long as William I is under control, is it still far from controlling Prussia?

It is a pity that this beautiful ambition was shattered so quickly. Not only did Benjamin fail to complete his instructions, but he even found out from the Prussian sources that the real purpose of William I's loan was to buy the fools in the German Confederation and provide Prussian Seeking special status in the Confederacy.

This is tantamount to suffering a double blow, not only failing to fulfill Schwarzenberg's instructions, but also bringing Prussia closer to Russia. How can he explain to Schwarzenberg?

Although the main business scope of the Rothschild family has surpassed the German Confederation, and it does not rely on Austria's business for survival, Austria, as the home of the Rothschild family, still cannot be lost.

"Benjamin has let me down so much. This is a major mistake. I ask him to correct the mistake immediately and get things back on the right track!"

James Rothschild immediately issued the sternest warning, and he showed his anger and disappointment unabashedly.

"Your Excellency, I don't think Benjamin alone can correct mistakes. This is not only because of his limited ability, but also because his opponent is too powerful!"

James Rothschild glanced at his assistant, pushed the monocle on his left eye, and asked in a low voice, "The opponent is too strong? Are you trying to excuse Benjamin? Jacob?"

Of course Jacob excused his old friend Benjamin, not only because of his friendship over the past years, but also because of the one hundred thousand thaler gold coins presented by Benjamin. If Benjamin fell, the person who replaced him might not be so sensible. up.

"Of course not, sir!"

Jacob lowered his head slightly calmly, and replied calmly: "According to my understanding,

Benjamin's opponent this time is likely to be the special envoy of Duke Alexander. Because of the support of Duke Alexander, this special envoy easily provided an interest-free loan of one million talers to Prince William for use. This is the key to Benjamin's failure. reason. "

"One million thaler interest-free loan!"

A cold light flashed on James Rothschild's monocle. Although this number is nothing to him, but the fact that he can make up one million talers in a short period of time is enough to show that the Russians are determined to win. .

"Damn Russians, they're still so greedy!"

When mentioning Russia, James Rothschild showed hatred from the heart. The reason is very simple, because although there are a large number of Jews living in Russia, the living conditions of these Jews are not very good, or very Oops. It is said that the reason was that Nicholas I, a religious fanatic, especially hated the Jews and believed that the Jews were the culprits who betrayed Christ.

Sometimes James Rothschild finds it funny, it’s not the Middle Ages anymore, how can there be such crusade-like fanaticism, especially when he heard that Nicholas I was still keen to recover Constantine When he was in Fortress and Jerusalem, he felt that the tsar was really ridiculous.

Of course, it’s ridiculous to be ridiculous, but James Rothschild still deeply hates Nicholas I and the Russia he represents. If there is a way to dismember this evil empire, James Rothschild Willing to contribute all the family property.

"Well, the involvement of the Russians is indeed an objective reason!"

Don't think that James Rothschild let go, because he immediately changed the subject and said: "But this is not an excuse for ineffective work, tell Benjamin, I will give him a chance to correct, and don't do it again Let me down!"

Jacob was calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent, because James Rothschild seemed to have given him a chance, but in fact it was useless, even he could see that Benjamin had fallen into the trap. Downwind, there is no opportunity to reverse the situation at all, let alone correcting mistakes, it will not be easy for the situation in Berlin not to continue to deteriorate.

But Jacob also knew that James Rothschild would not let go, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless. The only way was to quickly inform his old friend to let him be smart and prepare early!

So why did James Rothschild treat Benjamin so harshly? The reason was not that he was unreasonable, but that he wanted to beat Benjamin on purpose. In the past four or five years, the business of the Rothschild family in Berlin has not grown much, but the Prussian economy is thriving, which can explain the problem.

James Rothschild felt that Benjamin was a little too old to make progress, so he purposely found an excuse to beat him to wake him up. If this didn't wake him up, then he would consider changing to a new one in Berlin. A representative who can better protect the interests of the Rothschild family - such as Gelson's father Samuel.

When James Rothschild issued an ultimatum to Benjamin, Duke Alexander also nervously followed the situation in Berlin, because the news he brought from the news network in St. Petersburg was not particularly good. Nicholas I was very interested in further strengthening cooperation with Austria, which means that Russia's foreign policy will be further tilted towards Austria, which is not a good thing!

Duke Alexander is also a little annoyed by this, because he has already agreed with his domestic partners that he will solve foreign affairs, such as the affairs of Austria and Prussia, and will definitely seek more interests for Russia as much as possible. The country must block the obstruction of Nesselrode's group, but now it is obvious that the country has lost the chain again!

For this reason, he wrote a letter angrily: "... strong measures must be taken to prompt Nesselrode to fall as soon as possible. If this person remains in the position of prime minister for a day, it will be a great harm to Russia and us... "
