Chapter 1038: The Jewish State (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the face of Wu Haoxuan's resoluteness, although Charles Rothschild was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he had no choice. As Wu Haoxuan said, apart from the Chinese Empire, they simply could not rent such a large piece of land.
There are probably millions of Jews in the world. Of these Jews, more than two million were willing to migrate and become citizens of the Jewish state. It is not an easy task to resettle two million people. There are many aspects involved. The most important thing is to have a piece of land that is enough to cultivate. If there is no land, then how can these Jews be settled?
Leasing land from China became the only option Charles Rothschild could think of. If you can't reach an agreement with the Chinese Empire. Then, I'm afraid their plan will fail.
Charles Rothschild also knew that if he was sent to the door like this, the Chinese Empire would definitely not let go of this opportunity to slaughter them. However, they have no other way but to suffer this dumb loss.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, give us a sincere price." Charles Rothschild said. He knew that if Wu Haoxuan was not satisfied, there was no possibility of success in this plan.
"All right, Your Excellency. We are also old acquaintances, so we won't quote with you indiscriminately. The island of Kyushu covers an area of more than 37,000 square kilometers, and there are still millions of Japanese to move to the island. Therefore, a large amount of money is required. If you are sure that you want to lease this island, give it a rent of 400 million yuan a year. At this price, it is not expensive at all. Wu Haoxuan said.
400 million Chinese dollars a year, 4 billion Chinese dollars in 10 years. And, after 10 years, the price will be raised. That's a very lucrative deal! If an agreement can be reached, then for a long time to come, the Imperial Army will have the funds it needs to upgrade its equipment.
"Four hundred million dollars?" Charles Rothschild's brows furrowed together. Although it is 100 million yuan less than the previous asking price. However, they still think that the price is a little too high.
Charles Rothschild also wanted to bargain. However, Wu Haoxuan no longer has this patience.
"Your Excellency, this price is already my bottom line. If you're not satisfied, then I'll just say I'm sorry. Obviously, Wu Haoxuan is determined to slaughter these Jews fiercely.
Charles Rothschild was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor, I accept this condition. However, the Chinese Empire must ensure that the remaining Japanese will be relocated within the next two years. ”
"Of course, there is absolutely no problem with that. The Japanese in the western part of Kyushu Island have migrated away, so you can move there first. In the next two years, we will definitely move the remaining Japanese away. Wu Haoxuan agreed. In fact, it was not a problem to relocate the Japanese people on the island of Kyushu. All they had to do was get those Japanese onto the merchant ships and take them away. Of course, these Japanese will not be so obedient. When the time comes, it will be necessary to use force to deter. In fact, there are not a few Japanese who have lost their lives in this process. However, no one cares about them anymore. Today's Japan is simply a place where the Chinese Empire can do whatever it wants. The Japanese have no other way but to endure it. Otherwise, they will lose their lives.
Charles Rothschild nodded, he still believed in Wu Haoxuan's assurance. After all, as the emperor of a country, if Wu Haoxuan's words are not credible, then the country is too discredited. Although, in the Western world, the image of the Chinese empire has been completely discredited. But many Westerners who were close to the Chinese empire knew that it was nothing more than a distorted report by the governments of the Western powers. In fact, the Chinese Empire was, in many respects, no worse than the Western powers.
It wasn't long before the families of Charles and Isabella Rothschild took their leave. After getting the consent of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, they still need to go to the Prime Minister of the Empire Yang Du to initialize an agreement of intent. After that, Charles Rothschild would take the agreement and return to Europe to convince the rest of the Zionist organization. The two sides will not sign a formal agreement until the Zionist organization has ratified the agreement. Of course, because the conditions of the Chinese Empire were too harsh. Charles Rothschild was also not sure whether the deal would be passed. If the agreement is not adopted, all efforts will be in vain. However, Charles Rothschild will certainly help to get this agreement through as much as he can. Because this is the last chance for them Jews.
In January 4623, Charles Rothschild returned to Europe. Despite the cold weather in Europe, the Zionist Organization convened a special meeting with only one content, and that was the agreement that Charles Rothschild had brought back from the East.
At the beginning of the meeting, Charles Rothschild gave a presentation detailing the agreement. And pointed out that this was the only chance for the Jews. If they miss it, they may lose the opportunity to build a Jewish state forever.
Although, many people expressed support for Charles Rothschild's views. Although, the conditions of the Chinese Empire were somewhat harsh. However, this will be their only chance. The Jews have been waiting for so many years that they cannot afford to give up this good opportunity again.
However, there is also a group of people who have questioned this. In particular, Charles Rothschild's opponents, the American Jews led by Jacob, argued that Charles Rothschild's actions were completely detrimental to the interests of the Zionist Organization on the grounds that the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were too harsh. Call on everyone to oppose this agreement.
In fact, why Jacob did this is clear to everyone. If this agreement is passed, Charles Rothschild will be able to become the president of the Zionist Organization in one fell swoop. Jacob will be pushed down, which is absolutely unacceptable to Jacob. In addition, Jacob and others have their roots in the United States. And the United States and the Chinese Empire will definitely break out into a war in the future. If the United States loses the war, they will lose a lot. Therefore, they did not want the Chinese empire to develop itself with the help of the Jews. That's why they did everything possible to obstruct the cooperation between the Chinese Empire and the Zionist Organization.
The differences between the two sides were huge, and even after a long debate, no one could convince anyone. Faced with such a situation, there seems to be only one way. It is up to the directors present to vote. If the vote passes, Charles Rothschild wins. If the vote does not pass, then Jacob wins.
It's just that neither Charles Rothschild nor Jacob is sure of victory. None of them wanted to come this far.
At this time, Rothschild made another move, and it was a one-hit killing move.
Charles Rothschild declared that as vice-president of the Zionist Organization, he should do more for the Jews. Therefore, if this agreement is approved, the Rothschilds will pay all the necessary rent.
This immediately shocked everyone, you know, that's not a small amount! In ten years, it will need four billion Chinese dollars. If the future situation is not suitable, they will need to go on loan for a longer period of time, then more money will be needed. Charles Rothschild did this in a desperate way!
Of course, not everyone has the courage of Charles Rothschild. Four billion Chinese dollars is a lot, but for the Rothschilds, it is nothing at all.
With the wealth of the Rothschilds, they could easily pay the rent. In fact, the gains from the Rothschilds' investment in the Chinese Empire over the years have been very terrifying. To say the least, it's more than a billion Chinese dollars. And these profits are increasing every year, and they will be able to earn more in the next ten years. Paying the four billion dollars in rent is nothing at all.
Jacob was equally dumbfounded by Charles Rothschild's move. Although, four billion Chinese dollars is nothing to him. However, he is reluctant to let him come up with four billion Chinese dollars for free.
Under such circumstances, the agreement brought back by Charles Rothschild was naturally easily passed.
After the agreement was passed, Charles Rothschild immediately sent people to the Chinese Empire with this agreement to sign a formal agreement with the Chinese Empire. and transferred the first year's rent of 400 million Chinese yuan to the account of the Ministry of Finance of the Chinese Empire.
After the agreement was signed, it officially came into effect on February 8, 4623 of the Yellow Emperor Era. From now on, the island of Kyushu was leased to the Zionist Organization by the Chinese Empire.
And the Zionist organization also began to mobilize Jews around the world to go to the island of Kyushu. For the Jews who wander all over the world. Being able to have a country of their own is undoubtedly their long-standing dream. Now, that dream has come true. Suddenly, Jews all over the world were ecstatic. A large number of unsatisfactory Jews began to travel to the island of Kyushu with the help of the Zionist organization.
On April 28, 4623, the Jewish state was officially established on the island of Kyushu. (To be continued.) )
