Chapter 78 Solomon's Wrath

Solomon Rothschild was very angry. He was usually called King Solomon.

Today, not only did someone dare to disobey him, but he even dared to curse him in Russian. This was intolerable.

Vienna was Solomon's home court, and this Caesar Hotel was his palace.

Historically, Solomon spent money to buy this most expensive hotel in Vienna and then used it as his residence.

In Solomon's eyes, it was easy to drive a few Russian invaders out of his palace.

"You guys go downstairs and take a look. I don't want to hear this kind of sound again." Solomon said coldly.

Several servants were immediately relieved. They finally found a scapegoat. It seemed that the "king" was going to vent his anger on these people.

Solomon's men were convinced that their "king" could handle everything, so they immediately rushed downstairs impatiently, ready to teach those invaders a lesson they would never forget.

Only Solomon's housekeeper felt that it was inappropriate to do this, but Solomon was obviously overwhelmed by anger at this time.

After all, the information gap that the Rothschild family was proud of seemed useless in front of Franz, a time traveler.

Even without the knowledge of the time traveler, as long as Franz wanted, it would be easy to eliminate the information gap with the Rothschild family with the status of the royal family.

Rothschild is a deified name, and behind them is actually a huge information asymmetry.

When Nathan Rothschild was able to reap the London stock market, Solomon Rothschild also reap Austria.

However, in front of Franz, their advantages disappeared. And Solomon, who lost his usual weapons, felt very scared, and the extreme fear was anger.

Solomon's men rushed downstairs, but the torrent of anger stopped abruptly like a storm hitting the shore.

There were not many people on the other side, but they looked tall and strong, and they were not afraid of chaos. Judging from their clothes, they were very likely to hide pistols.

In this era, it was not uncommon for bodyguards of wealthy families to carry guns when going out. Vienna did not ban guns until after 1849.

At this time, there were guns in weapon shops, bars, and even grocery stores in Vienna. This was the most common thing.

However, it was very unusual for such a large group of bodyguards with guns to appear together. It was undoubtedly a tough opponent.

Solomon's men had an absolute advantage in numbers, but the other side was not afraid at all. Obviously, the other side was fearless, either with a strong background or a group of desperate criminals.

Of course, Solomon's men thought that the latter was more likely, because in their eyes, the Russians were a group of reckless men, a group of uncivilized barbarians.

But once courage is lost, it is difficult to find it back. Solomon's men immediately froze and didn't know what to do.

At this time, the Russian leader spoke first. Vasily was not afraid of the mob in front of him, and was not even afraid of death, but he really didn't dare to anger the big man inside.

"Wait a minute," Vasily put his hand into his jacket pocket, but it caused a scream.

"What are you doing! Don't move, we are not afraid of you!"

Although Solomon Rothschild was called King Solomon, he did not have a real army under his command.

If he really had an army, he would not have fled in 1848.

In fact, Solomon was very suspicious. For safety reasons, his bodyguards were actually a group of bank employees.

These bank employees did not even have much experience in fighting. They were just used to being domineering and a little bit fierce.

But when facing real desperadoes, they were like elementary school students who went to the teacher's office for the first time, and they seemed to lack confidence.

Vasily said in not very fluent German.

"Excuse me, I can give you some money, please leave and pretend that nothing happened, okay?"

After that, Vasily took out a stack of banknotes, 20 50-florin banknotes, a total of 1,000 florins.

(At this time, the annual salary of an ordinary soldier in the Austrian Empire was 100 florins, and 1,000 florins was equivalent to the military pay of an ordinary soldier for ten years, which was definitely not a small amount.)

However, the thing that Solomon's men had the most was money. Seeing such a small amount of money, they immediately became more confident and more certain that the other party was a desperate criminal who had someone's life at stake.

Although they couldn't beat the other party, there were still gendarmes in Vienna, and Mr. Solomon was a good friend of Prime Minister Metternich, so they didn't have to be afraid of them.

"Humph, 1,000 florins? That's great, I'll give you 2,000 florins, get out of here immediately."

Sacconi replied coldly and threw the money in Vasily's face.

Vassily seemed a little helpless, stepped forward and strangled Sacconi's neck, and before Solomon's men could react, he put the black muzzle of the gun against Sacconi's temple.

Then Vasily made a silent gesture in the shocked eyes of everyone.

"Please leave, please. I beg you."

But Vasily did not put down the single-shot pistol against Sacconi's temple.

"Do you know who we belong to?"

"Whose people?"

"We are the bodyguards of Lord Solomon. Let me go, or I will throw you into the Danube to feed the fish."

"Oh, who the hell is Solomon?" Vasily said excitedly.

"Are you playing dumb? Who else is Solomon? Solomon Rothschild, who in Europe doesn't know our boss?" Sacconi roared.

"Oh, it turns out to be a Jew son of a bitch." Vasily said contemptuously.

This sentence annoyed Solomon's bodyguards, most of whom were Jews, and they all pulled out their pistols and pointed them at Vasily.

And Vasily's men also accepted everyone who came, pulling down the cabinet next to them, and the two sides immediately became tense.

The hotel manager originally planned to go upstairs to greet the distinguished guests, but he was scared to death when he saw this scene.

While no one noticed, the hotel manager carefully retreated down the stairs. He wanted to run to the gendarmerie to report the case immediately, after all, the two upstairs were guests of Prime Minister Metternich.

This kind of friction between big figures is not something he, the hotel manager, can control.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw something even more terrifying, Archduke Karl and his guards.

Archduke Karl's guards were fundamentally different from other noble guards, because they were an army.

Almost everyone in the guards was a soldier of the Austrian Empire, had fought in the battlefield, and had killed people. Even the most powerful gangs in Vienna could not compare to their might.

The hotel manager did not know why Archduke Karl came. He only knew that if Archduke Karl went upstairs and was hit by a stray bullet, or if he found out that there was a war going on here, he could not bear to think about it.
