1815, the Battle of Waterloo, which was launched in the suburbs of Brussels, Belgium, was not only a life-and-death duel between Napoleon and Wellington, but also a huge gamble for thousands of investors. Winners will gain unprecedented wealth and losers will suffer heavy losses. The atmosphere in the London stock trading market was extremely tense, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the final result of the Battle of Waterloo. If the UK loses, the price of British bond will fall into the abyss; if the UK wins, the price of British treasury bonds will surge into the sky.
Just as two armies meeting on narrow roads were fighting to the death, the spies of Rothschild were also nervously collecting as accurate information as possible about the progress of various battle situations from the two armies. More spies are at any time responsible for transferring the latest war situation information to the Rothschild intelligence transfer station closest to the battlefield. By the evening, Napoleon's defeat was decided. A Rothschild Express deliveryman named Rothswoods witnessed the battle. He immediately rode a fast horse toward Brussels , and then turned to Ostend Port. It was already late at night when Rothwoods jumped onto a Rothschild Clipper with a special pass. At this time, the wind and waves were high. After paying 2,000 francs , he finally found a sailor to help him cross the strait overnight. When he arrived at the shores of Foxton, England in the early morning of June 19, Nathan Rothschild was waiting there in person. Nathan quickly opened the envelope, browsed the title of the battle report, and then rode his horse straight to the London Stock Exchange.
When Nathan quickly entered the stock exchange, the anxious and excited crowd who were waiting for the war report immediately calmed down, and everyone's eyes were staring at Nathan's expressionless and unfathomable face. At this time, Nathan slowed down and walked to his throne known as the "Rothschild Pillar." At this time, the muscles on his face were like stone sculptures without any change in expression. At this time, the trading hall was completely gone, and everyone placed their wealth, honor and disgrace on Nathan's eyes. After a moment, Nathan gave a meaningful look at the traders of the Rothschild family who were waiting by his side. Everyone immediately rushed to the trading desk quietly and began to sell British government bonds. There was a commotion in the hall immediately, some people began to whisper, and more people were still at a loss.
At this time, the British Treasury bonds equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars were suddenly thrown into the market, the price of Treasury bonds began to decline, and then the larger selling was more fierce and fiercer like a tide, and the price of Treasury bonds began to collapse.
At this time, Nathan was still leaning on his throne without expression. Someone finally screamed in the trading hall: "Rothschild knows!" "Rothschild knows!" "Wellington was defeated!" Everyone immediately came back like an electric shock, and the sale finally turned into panic. When a person suddenly loses his mind, following other people's behavior becomes a self-compulsive behavior. Everyone wants to immediately throw away the worthless British government bonds in their hands and keep as little wealth as possible. After several hours of crazy selling, British government bonds have become a pile of garbage, with only 5% of the face value left.
At this time, Nathan was still watching all this indifferently as he was at the beginning. His eyes flashed slightly. That look could never be understood without long-term training, but the signal this time was completely different. Many traders around him immediately rushed to their respective trading desks and began to buy every British Treasury bond you could see on the market.
At 11 pm on June 21, the messenger of the Duke of Wellington, Henry Percy, finally arrived in London. It was reported that Napoleon's army was completely defeated after 8 hours of hard battle, losing 1/3 of the soldiers, France is over!
This news was a whole day behind Nathan's intelligence! And Nathan made 20 times the money in this day, more than the sum of the wealth Napoleon and Wellington obtained 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 British government bonds. Bank of England was completely controlled by Nathan. UK government bonds are certificates of future government taxes. The obligation of the British people to pay various taxes to the government has now become Rothschild Bank to impose taxes on the whole people in disguise. The British government's fiscal expenditure is raised by issuing government 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 pays about 8% of the interest, and all principal and interest are settled in gold coins. When Nathan held the overwhelming amount of British Treasury bonds in his hand, he actually manipulated the price of the bonds, swaying the money supply of the entire UK, and the British economic lifeline was tightly held in the hands of the Rothschilds.
The complacent Nathan did not hide his pride of conquering the British Empire: I don't care what kind of English puppets were placed on the throne to rule this huge empire of the Sun Never Set. Whoever controls the money supply of the British Empire will control the British Empire, and this person is me! (Excerpt from " Currency War ")
