Chapter 3 1. Napoleon's Waterloo and Rothschild's Arc de Triomphe

Nathan is the third eldest of the old Rothschild and the most courageous of the five brothers.In 1798, he was sent by his father from Frankfurt to England to develop the banking business of the Rothschild family.Nathan is a very deep and decisive banker, no one has ever really understood his inner world.With his amazing financial talent and unpredictable means, by 1815, he had become the leading banking oligarch in London.His eldest brother Amslow managed the headquarter of the Rothschild family bank in Frankfurt, his second brother Solomon established another branch bank of the family in Vienna, Austria, and his fourth brother Karl established a bank in Naples, Italy. Another bank, his fifth brother James also has a bank in Paris, France.The banking system formed by the Rothschild family is the world's first international banking group.At this time, the five brothers were closely watching the European war in 1815.

This is an important war related to the fate and future of the European continent.If Napoleon had won the final victory, France would be unquestionably master of the European continent.If Lord Wellington crushed the French, Britain would dominate the balance of power in Europe. As early as before the war, the Rothschild family established their own strategic intelligence collection and express delivery system with great foresight.They set up a huge number of secret agent mechanisms, these people who are like strategic intelligence spies are called children.These people were stationed in all European capitals, major cities, important trading centers and commercial centers, and various commercial, political and other intelligence shuttled between London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna and Naples.The efficiency, speed and accuracy of this intelligence system have reached an astonishing level, far exceeding the speed of any official information network, and it is even more difficult for other commercial competitors to catch up.All this makes Rothschild Bank in a clear advantage in almost all international competitions.

Rothschild's carriages run on the roads (all over Europe), Rothschild's ships shuttle between the straits, and Rothschild's spies are all over the city streets (in Europe), carrying a lot of money. Cash, bonds, letters and news, their latest scoop, was carried swiftly through the stock and commodity markets.But none of the news is more valuable than the outcome of Waterloo. On June 18, 1815, the Battle of Waterloo in the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium, was not only a life-and-death duel between the two armies of Napoleon and Wellington, but also a huge gamble for thousands of investors. The winner will receive Unprecedented wealth, the loser will lose a lot.The air in the London Stock Exchange was extremely tense, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the final result of the Battle of Waterloo.If Britain loses, the price of British government bonds will fall into the abyss; if Britain wins, British government bonds will soar into the sky.

While the two opposing armies were fighting to the death, Rothschild's spies were also nervously collecting information on the progress of the battle as accurately as possible inside the two sides.More spies are responsible for forwarding the latest battle situation to the Rothschild intelligence transfer station closest to the battlefield at any time.By evening, Napoleon's defeat had been decided, and a Rothschild courier named Rose Woods witnessed the battle. He immediately rode a fast horse to Brussels, and then turned to the port of Ostend.It was late at night when Rose Woods hopped on a Rothschild Clipper with a special pass.At this time, the English Channel was very windy and the waves were high. After paying 2,000 francs, he finally found a sailor to help him cross the Channel overnight.When he reached the shore of Foxton, England, in the early morning of June 19, Nathan.Rothschild himself was waiting there.Nathan quickly opened the envelope, scanned the headlines of the battle report, and then rode straight to the London Stock Exchange.

When Nathan quickly entered the stock exchange, the anxious and excited crowd who were waiting for the battle report immediately fell silent.All eyes were on Nathan's expressionless and unpredictable face.At this moment, Nathan slowed down and walked to his throne known as the Rothschild pillar.At this time, the muscles on his face seemed to be like stone sculptures, without any emotion.At this time, the trading hall was completely free of the hustle and bustle of the past, and everyone pinned their wealth, honor and disgrace on Nathan's eyes.After a while, Nathan gave the traders of the Rothschild family around him a deep wink, and everyone immediately rushed to the trading desk without saying a word and began to sell British government bonds.Immediately, there was a commotion in the hall, some people began to whisper, and more people still stood there at a loss.At this time, British government bonds equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars were suddenly thrown into the market, and the price of government bonds began to decline.

At this time, Nathan was still leaning on his throne expressionlessly.Someone in the trading floor finally exclaimed that Rothschild knows! , Rothschild knows! , Wellington was defeated! .Everyone woke up like an electric shock at once, and the sell-off finally turned into panic.When people suddenly lose their minds, the behavior of following others becomes a self-compulsory behavior.Everyone wanted to get rid of their worthless gilts at once and keep what little wealth they had left.After several hours of wild selling, British government bonds have become a piece of garbage, with only 5% of face value remaining.

At this time, Nathan was still watching all this indifferently, just like at the beginning.There was a slight flicker in his eyes that would never have been read without long training, but this time the signal was completely different.The many traders around him immediately pounced on their desks and started buying every British gilt they could see on the market. At eleven o'clock in the evening on June 21st, Lord Wellington's messenger HenryPercy finally arrived in London, and the news was that Napoleon's army was completely defeated after eight hours of bitter fighting, losing a third of his soldiers, and France was over!

This news was a whole day later than Nathan's intelligence!And Nathan made twenty times as much money in one day, more than the sum of the wealth gained by Napoleon and Wellington in the decades of war! The Battle of Waterloo made Nathan the largest creditor of the British government in one fell swoop, thus leading the future issuance of public debt in the UK, and the Bank of England was controlled by Nathan.The British public debt is the proof of future government taxation, and the obligation of the British people to pay various taxes to the government has become a disguised taxation by the Rothschild Bank to the whole people.The British government's financial expenditure is raised by issuing public bonds. In other words, the British government has to borrow money from private banks because it does not have the right to issue currency, and it has to pay about 8% interest. All principal and interest are settled in gold coins.When Nathan is holding the overwhelmingly superior amount of British government bonds, he actually determines the price of government bonds and controls the money supply of the entire UK. The economic lifeline of the UK is tightly pinched by Rothschild in the hands of the German family.

The complacent Nathan made no secret of his pride in conquering the British Empire: I don't care what kind of England puppet is put on the throne to rule this huge empire on which the sun never sets.Whoever controls the money supply of the British Empire controls the British Empire, and I control the money supply of the British Empire!
