France, Menton is a small town close to the Holy Roman Empire.
This town has a population of more than 40,000, which is considered a relatively large town in France.
Especially because it is located in the border area and close to the Holy Roman Empire, the economy here is very developed.
At the same time, it is precisely because of its proximity to the Holy Roman Empire and the towns controlled by the church that there are many church buildings in the small town of Menton.
Back then, the American Volunteer Army fought several battles with the Holy Roman Empire not far from Menton. Fortunately, the volunteers had strong firepower and repelled the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, which prevented Menton from being occupied.
If there were no American volunteers at that time, Menton would have fallen into the hands of the Holy Roman Empire long ago and allowed the Holy Roman Empire's army to march straight in.
Now that the position of the American Volunteer Army has been taken over by Portuguese reinforcements, the Volunteer Army has returned to Marseille Port.
But even though the American volunteers retreated to rest, the military commander of the Holy Roman Empire on the border, who had suffered a huge loss, was still unwilling to let his troops advance.
During this period of confrontation with Portugal and France, the Holy Roman Empire had already wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be said to have been a heavy loss.
You have to know how large the population of Europe was at this time.
The loss of a full 100,000 people has already severely damaged the Holy Roman Empire.
Fortunately, the whole of Europe is now in turmoil, and most countries have joined the church or are united with it. Otherwise, the Holy Roman Empire would have great fun.
It is precisely because of such heavy losses that the troops on the Holy Roman Empire line were stationed and never moved forward.
Because they all know that the American volunteers on the opposite side are very capable.
Even though they were replaced by the Portuguese, they still didn¡¯t want to get into trouble.
Therefore, while other fronts were exchanging fire, this side seemed very calm.
And the Portuguese reinforcements that took over the position of the American Volunteers also took a advantage.
Because the courage of the Holy Roman Empire army on the opposite side was broken, the other side would not take the initiative to attack at all.
Therefore, as long as the Portuguese who are changing defense do not take the initiative to attack, the two sides will definitely continue to confront each other here.
There is no need to fight or die, this is very good.
And because of the truce here, the Menton area has once again returned to prosperity.
At the same time, Jewish businessmen from the Holy Roman Empire became active one after another.
Through smuggling, they continued to purchase large amounts of grain and spices from Menton, and transported other materials back to the Holy Roman Empire to make huge profits.
For these Jewish merchants and smugglers from the Holy Roman Empire, the imperial business personnel stationed in Menton basically turned a blind eye.
As long as the other party gives you real money, who cares who they are.
Basically, driven by the imperial business personnel, the merchants gathered in Menton had this attitude towards the Jewish smugglers from the Holy Roman Empire.
And because of the huge amount of smuggling, Jewish gangs have emerged on the border, monopolizing the entire smuggling trade.
Yes, Jewish smuggling gangs.
Throughout the history of Europe, in fact, in addition to their great achievements in business, the Jews actually also shined in the entire side business.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
commercial fraud!
??Jewish gangsters!
Smuggling!
Even the prostitution industry is controlled by Jews.
¡°In any industry that makes money, whether it is white or underworld, Jews must participate.
For Jews, as long as they make money, whether it is legal or not is not an issue they have to consider.
¡°Moreover, the Jewish gangs in history were also quite powerful.
Even in modern history, Jewish gangs were active in the United States and were very prosperous.
Especially during the Prohibition era, Jewish gangs and ethnic gangs emerged one after another.
They make a lot of money.
Of course, as time went by, Jewish gangsters all transformed after they got rich.
But that was hundreds of years later.
In the seventeenth century, it was the time when Jewish gangs were rampant.
When wealthy Jewish businessmen organize themselves, their strength can even subvert a country. This is definitely not alarmist.
At this time, many European countries and even kings owed money to Jewish merchants.
Before the alliance with the Song Empire, France owed usurious loans to Jewish merchants, and for this reason France had to pay high interest rates to Jewish merchants every year. In the past few years, the interest alone exceeded the principal.
After the alliance with the Song Empire, France owed money to Jewish merchants, which was accepted by the Song Empire and paid off in one go. So when the French had to pay interest every year, those high amounts of interest were transferred to the Song Empire.
Of course, the loan interest rates of the Song Empire were always lower than those of Jewish loan sharks.
Buffett is a Jewish gangster active in the Menton area, and he also controls the prostitute business in the Menton area, as well as various pawn businesses. He also participated in Menton's smuggling of the Holy Roman Empire. .
It can be said that this guy Buffett is the king of the bottom here in Menton.
¡°The reason why the Jews were able to control such a large organization and form a large-scale underworld is not an accident.
Because Jews are good at making money, and they are good at making big money, and usually Jews are richer than ordinary people. So they often rely on lending to others to make more money for themselves.
The king can borrow money from the big businessmen, but what about the common people?
They also have emergencies when they need money.
So, small businessmen among the Jews appeared one after another.
However, after borrowing money, they must ensure their own interests.
You must know that they will encounter people who default on their debts over time. When they encounter someone who deliberately borrows money and fails to repay it, what should they do?
Therefore, Jewish businessmen, no matter how big or small, will hire some ruthless guys to work for them, which forms the prototype of a small gang.
As their capital expands, they will slowly absorb more and more thugs around them, and their power will become stronger and stronger. At the same time, as their capital becomes stronger and stronger, they will also slowly extended to other industries.
With their own development, Jewish businessmen also need more subordinates to ensure that their interests are not violated.
In this way, the Jewish gang slowly formed a scale.
Of course, Jews generally like to hire Jews, because everyone is the same. As long as you give them enough money, they will do your job seriously and do it beautifully.
Therefore, Jewish gangs are basically very large in this era.
¡°However, these Jewish gangs are regional and somewhat xenophobic.
¡°When Jewish gangs from other places enter their own areas, they will cause great conflicts.
They don¡¯t think there will be any intolerance because both parties are Jewish.
The Jewish gangs clashed, and their attacks became even more vicious.
Because for Jews, face and everything else are irrelevant. You can deny me face or laugh at me, but you must not infringe on my interests and wealth.
Buffett is such a person.
He is the boss of the Jewish mafia organization in the Menton area, and he is only twenty-seven years old.
Such a young man actually controls such a huge business, and his wealth continues to grow every day. Especially those products from the Song Empire brought him a steady increase in wealth.
??Here in the Menton area, if you want to say who Buffett treats best, it must be the people from the Song Empire.
Because the official trading members of the Marseille Concession of the Song Empire were stationed in Menton, they brought commercial prosperity to Menton, and Buffett made a lot of money for this, so how could he treat the Song people badly.
For the Jews, those who can bring them wealth will be treated as their ancestors.
Face and everything else are unimportant.
Only real money is the most important.
At the same time, someone from the Jewish Presbyterian Church sent him a more profitable product, ice. When the people from the Presbyterian Church explained to him the use of this small thing, Buffett was sensitive to the use of this thing. Huge profits.
So, in addition to controlling the existing Menton black and white businesses, Buffett has also developed a drug network.
For a time, the number of Jewish thugs in Buffett¡¯s organization increased sharply, and each of themPeople are selling this kind of good stuff in the streets and alleys of Menton that can make people feel elated and have whatever they want.
For all this, the trading members stationed here in the Marseille Concession will record everything in their notes, and at the same time, they will report everything they see and come into contact with to Marseille.
Menton experienced a distorted commercial prosperity due to the war, and smuggling brought huge amounts of income to the people of Menton.
Although Buffett controls most of the buying and selling, ordinary people still have a lot of buying and selling that they can do.
After all, as a Jew, Buffett knows one thing: he cannot eat alone.
"If you eat alone and don't leave a way for others to survive, then you are not far from death."
So, what he controls is basically the bulk purchase and sale of commodities, or the monopoly transaction of a certain commodity.
These products are all highly profitable and can make a lot of money.
But some other products can also make money, but the profits are a little small, or they are more troublesome products, Buffett will not touch them at all.
¡°In this way, commodity trade like this is left to others.
So, Buffett is very smart.
After others have a way to survive, they will always be less jealous of them.
What¡¯s more, Buffett also has a smuggling team.
¡°Besides, he doesn¡¯t have that much experience to monopolize so many commodity trades at once.
But in any case, the economy in Menton has become developed due to the prosperity of smuggling. People here have made money and enough wealth to squander it.
¡°This person, when he has money, he definitely wants to enjoy himself, especially for the people in the Menton area who were originally extremely poor. Such sudden wealth makes them wonder how much they weigh.
After they have money, they live in drunkenness and dream every day, spending all the money they have earned.
Since the money is gone, I can just go smuggling the next day.
By taking such a trip, they can definitely make a lot of money, and then continue to squander it.
People¡¯s hearts are extremely empty, and the emergence of ¡®ice¡¯ has instantly filled people¡¯s needs in this regard.
¡°In fact, ¡®ice¡¯ brings them greater satisfaction than drinking alcohol or finding prostitutes.
So ¡®ice¡¯ became popular in the Menton area in a very short period of time. People took it as a trend to try ¡®ice¡¯. If you say you haven¡¯t tried it, you will definitely be looked down upon.
Those who can try "Ice" here are a symbol of wealth and status, because the price of "Ice" has skyrocketed after the free period recently, and generally people without strength cannot afford it.
¡°Anyone who can order some every day must be a rich person.
In order to make money and become a person of status, you can get some "ice" to show off, and the smuggling business in the Menton area has become more prosperous.
Even for this, smuggling king Buffett did not think of it.
In order to make money so that they can continue to enjoy ice, these guys burst out with great enthusiasm.
For all that happened in Menton, the imperial businessmen saw it in their eyes and recorded it in their hearts and notebooks.
All these changes and developments still make them very satisfied.
Yes, these business members are actually members of the intelligence department stationed in the empire and in the concessions. The order given to them is to let them observe the proliferation of 'methamphetamine' in Europe, as well as people's dependence on this stuff, and this Some specific changes brought to Europe after the spread from east to west.
In the center of Menton Town, there are many taverns and shops on a busy cross road. Originally, Menton was not a very developed economy, but since smuggling started, people have come here to hunt for gold.
Gypsy entertainers, down-and-out prostitutes from Paris, thieves, swindlers, beggars, and well-dressed businessmen all flocked to the town of Menton.
Although the arrival of these people caused a breakdown in public security, it also brought abnormal prosperity.
In the tavern, the business members of the empire were sitting in front of the bar. They were chatting in low voices and looking around from time to time.
There are not many guests in the tavern, but the guests are all well-dressed and very clean and tidy. At first glance, they are very different from ordinary people.
It can be seen that the people who come to this tavern are relatively wealthy people.
It¡¯s not like other taverns at all. The customers inside are allIt's vulgar and smells bad.
At this time, several strong men wearing tight-fitting European-style seventeenth-century leather jackets hurriedly walked in from outside the tavern, escorting a guy who was beaten into a pig's head.
Although their arrival, the tranquility of the tavern was broken.
¡°Boss, this guy took three pieces of ice from us, but he hasn¡¯t paid us for a month.¡±
As the strong man holding the pig's head opened his mouth, the members of the imperial trade group sitting at the bar looked at each other one after another, and at the same time the same thought came to their minds poisonous insects (To be continued.
