The biggest winner of the Battle of Waterloo
Nathan mayer is the third son of Rothschild Sr From 65438 to 0798, he was sent by his father from Frankfurt to Britain to develop the Rothschild family's banking business. By 18 15, he became the leading bank oligarch in London. Accurately and timely grasping the information of the Battle of Waterloo has made Nathan's financial hegemony.
1865438+On June 8, 2005/kloc-0, the Battle of Waterloo started in the suburb of Brussels, Belgium, which was an important war related to the fate and future of the European continent. If Napoleon wins the final victory, France will undoubtedly become the master of the European continent. If Lord Wellington defeats the French army, Britain will dominate the balance of power in Europe.
As early as before the war, the Rothschild family had the foresight to establish their own strategic intelligence collection and express delivery system. They set up a huge network of agents. These people like strategic intelligence spies are called "children". These people are stationed in European capitals, major cities, important trade centers and commercial centers, and various commercial and political information shuttles between London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna and Naples. The efficiency, speed and accuracy of this information system have reached an alarming level, far exceeding the speed of any official information network, and other commercial competitors are even more incomparable. All these make Rothschild Bank in an obvious advantage in almost all international competitions.
Rothschild's carriages run on highways all over Europe, Rothschild's ships shuttle between the straits, and Rothschild's spies are all over the streets of European cities. They carry a lot of cash, bonds, letters and news. Their latest exclusive news spreads quickly in the stock market and commodity market, but all the news is not as valuable as the result of the Battle of Waterloo. "
The battle of Waterloo, which is being brutally fought hundreds of kilometers away, is not only a life-and-death duel between Napoleon and Wellington, but also a gamble of thousands of investors. Winners will get unprecedented wealth, and losers will suffer heavy losses. The air in the London Stock Exchange is extremely tense, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the final result of the Battle of Waterloo. If Britain loses, the price of British bonds will fall into the abyss; If Britain wins, British bonds will soar to the sky.
At the height of the fierce fighting between the two armies, Rothschild's spies were nervously collecting as accurate information as possible about the progress of various situations from within the two armies. More spies are always responsible for sending the latest information to the Rothschild information transfer station nearest to the battlefield. In the evening, Napoleon's failure was decided. A Rothschild messenger named Rothschild witnessed the battle. He immediately rode his fast horse to Brussels and then transferred to Ostend port. It was late at night when Ross Woods jumped on a Rothschild clipper with a special pass. At this time, the English Channel was very stormy. After paying 2000 francs, he finally found a sailor to help him cross the English Channel overnight. When he arrived at the shore of Foxton, England in the early morning of June 19, nathan mayer waited there himself. Nathan quickly opened the envelope, glanced at the title of the Battle Report, and rode straight to the London Stock Exchange.
When Nathan quickly entered the stock exchange, the anxious and excited crowd waiting for the Battle Report immediately quieted down, and all eyes were fixed on Nathan's expressionless and inscrutable face. At this time, Nathan slowed down and walked to his throne, which was called "the pillar of Rothschild". At this point, the muscles on his face are like stone carvings, without any emotional fluctuations. At this time, the trading hall has completely lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and everyone has pinned their wealth and honor on Nathan's eyes. After a while, Nathan took a deep look at the Rothschild traders around him, and everyone immediately ran silently to the trading desk and began to sell British government bonds. There was a commotion in the hall at once, 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 put into the market, and the price of government bonds began to decline. Then the bigger selling orders became more and more fierce like the tide, and the price of government bonds began to collapse.
Nathan still leaned back on his throne with no expression. Finally, someone in the trading hall exclaimed, "Rothschild knows!" "Rothschild knows!" "Wellington was defeated!" Everyone was suddenly shocked, and the selling finally turned into panic. When people suddenly lose their minds, the behavior of following others becomes a self-imposed behavior. Everyone wants to throw away their worthless British bonds at once and keep as much surplus wealth as possible. After several hours of selling, British government bonds have become a pile of rubbish, with a face value of only 5%.
Nathan at this time, like at the beginning, is still looking at all this indifferently. His eyes flashed slightly, the kind that he would never understand without long-term training, but this time the signal was completely different. Many traders around him immediately rushed to their trading counters and began to buy every kind of British government bonds that could be seen in the market. Soon, the news of victory came.
Nathan made 20 times as much money this day, more than the sum of wealth gained by Napoleon and Wellington in decades of war!
The Battle of Waterloo made Nathan the largest creditor of the British government in one fell swoop, which led to the issuance of future British bonds, and the Bank of England was controlled by Nathan. The British government's financial expenditure is raised by issuing bonds. In other words, the British government must pay about 8% interest to borrow money to spend, a private bank, because it has no right to issue money. All principal and interest are settled in gold coins. When Nathan holds a flood of British public debt in his hand, he actually controls the price of public debt and the entire money supply in Britain. The economic lifeline of Britain is tightly held in the hands of the Rothschild family! Although the brave and tenacious British army won the war for the monarch of Britain and even the European continent, Britain fell at the feet of the Rothschild family.
