C2782 Money versus gambling

Money … Right now, there was only one word on Duke of Newcastle's mind, and that was money!

Money was too important to a country. All conflicts and wars between humans were ultimately all about money!

Europe had been a great businessman since ancient times, and their knowledge of money was very deep. In their eyes, if the final result of a war was a loss of money, then even a military victory was nothing to be proud of.

The financial war was also a war, and a war without smoke would definitely be very brutal. Without bloodshed, millions or even billions of dollars of wealth would flow. Some people would suddenly become rich, while others would end up bleeding in the financial carnage.

Duke deeply understood the importance of information, the news from the Maritime War in Eastern Frisia must first let his country's financial leaders know, as long as there was a time difference, all kinds of accidents would happen!

Prussia and the Chinese navy were completely attacking the France. This result was something that no financial market analyst would have dared to imagine. The market's sensitive nerves had already tensed up in the past few days.

Almost all the world's financial crocodiles were already waiting for the news of the war to start. They had been hoarding Prussian financial products like crazy, in other words, they wanted to sell them when the naval cannons sounded!

On one hand, they were selling off all kinds of bonds and stocks that had made a huge profit, and on the other hand, they were shorting out Prussian financial products. Both sides could make money, and this bet was way too big.

He couldn't afford to lose! He really couldn't afford to lose!

Duke of Newcastle knew that once the false news started spreading in London, as long as these financiers started to order the sale, they would definitely be the ones to lose out in the end.

Because all the capitalists in the world, no one believed that the Prussian Navy would defeat the France Navy!

It wasn't an exaggeration, it was the fact that all the big financial crocodiles in Europe had placed their bets on the Prussian army, and the navy was always a moneymaking opportunity on the entire board.

In their minds, the Prussian navy would eventually be defeated, so the news of this defeat could at least trigger an avalanche of Prussian financial products.

As long as they take advantage of the situation and sell high stakes and make short bets, they can easily earn tens of millions of pounds in profits.

Of course, they did not think that the French Emperor would win in the end. These financiers had already seen through the weak nature of France, so they would eat these financial products again after this avalanche.

The goal of the low price search was to bet on the Prussian army!

Once the army fought a few more beautiful battles, the prices of these financial products would definitely rise again, if Bismark worked hard enough to take over London.

Then these gamblers would at least be able to make three times the profit!

The plan was truly too beautiful. Thousands upon thousands of corpses on the battlefield were only able to be exchanged for the financial market's numbers. With each and every one of these fluctuations, wealth began to change the course of the universe!

But now, an unbelievable scene happened. Not only did the Prussian and Chinese armies not lose, they also defeated the France fleet in the Eastern Frisian Islands. More than twenty thousand troops were captured, and many battleships were sunk or injured.

This result was completely out of the market's expectations. It could be said that all the investors had misjudged it!

"I have to inform my friends back home... Do not sell, do not sell! "

"My God! Don't you have an officer? Such an important island, don't you have telegraph s? I want to send a telegram, I want to send a telegram... "

The Prussian army officer with a helpless look saluted to the Duke and said, "My apologies, Your Highness. There are indeed no telegraph on this island."

"Impossible!" You are lying, the Eastern Frisian Islands is the important defense chain of your coastline, you actually don't place telegraph? "

"We didn't lie to you. There were indeed telegraph on this island, but they were destroyed by the French. If you want to send a telegram, you can only cross the strait to the mainland …"

"Damn it!" Duke clenched his fist and waved it around in the air, "How long do I need, how long do I need to find the telegraph?"

The soldiers shook their heads helplessly. "We don't know about that, but the Easens Town, which is thirty kilometers away from us, is the biggest gathering place for people. There should be telegraph for civilians there …"

Duke Ryan's heart was already crying. "Three kilometers?" Damn it, how long would it take? "Too late, too late …"

As expected, it was too late, because while he was desperately searching for the telegraph, London and the Amsterdam were already in complete chaos.

From five o'clock in the morning, a rumor began to circulate in the city that the French expedition fleet had crossed the Dutch Sea last night and officially entered Prussian territorial waters.

"Yes, yes, the earliest news came from our navy! Bolkum has been captured by the French! "

"It's finally starting, this time the Prussian will have to suffer. I heard that when the French navy came out, all the main forces of the Iron-armored battleship were sent out!"

"When the time comes, I still have some Krupp shares with me. When the market starts, I'll have to throw them away …"

"Same here, same here, I also have some Prussian War bond, I can't keep them here anymore!"

The news quickly spread throughout the Netherlands and the Amsterdam, and the mood in the whole market became restless.

On Fang Guan's table was the secret letter that was written by Xiang Ying. Her expression was as ugly as ash, and he said mysteriously: "Xiang Ying, you're about to make a move, right? I know you are going to take action, but you don't have to. As long as the French Fleet enters the territorial waters of Prussia, the market will decline.

"Actually, I have a chance to absorb the spiritual energy at a low level. There really is a chance! Why do you have to go all out with your life! "

But in a trance, Xiang Ying's figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Xiang Ying laughed and said, "No! "Your idea is too simple. Will the top financiers in the UK really give you a chance?"

"Don't forget, you have to face the huge British City, and you also have to hold on to millions of pounds worth of national assets!"

"This financial gambling match is different from the common folk playing around with small amounts of money. The state funds coming in and out of the bet will definitely attract the opponent's attention!"

"The great crocodiles in the City will disregard tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds of small money to fish in this pond, but they will definitely not allow a million or even millions of pounds of capital to compete with them!"

"Think about it, these greedy capitalists want the benefits of the band. If they are to throw it out now, it will be back to us in the future!"
