Although the Rothschild family easily "abandoned" the Bourbon Dynasty, turned to Orleans, and turned from the Conservative Party to the Whig Party, their "magic weapon" to survive in the 1830 revolution was not entirely to keep up with the domestic political changes. Because of the domestic threat-although this threat forced James to bury his bonds in the garden-in many ways, the threat caused by the revolution at that time was relatively small. From the financial point of view, the more serious threat is that the revolution may indirectly lead to the outbreak of war between big countries. The most striking thing about the Rothschild family's private communication during this period is their fear of war, and the reason is obvious. A revolution-even a reform crisis-mainly affects national bonds. The war may cause the prices of all government bonds to plummet. If the economies of London, Frankfurt, Vienna and Naples remain stable, Rothschild may be able to withstand the domestic crisis in Paris. However, a European war will affect five branches. According to the communication of the Rothschild family, this concern reached its peak at 1830 ~ 1832. "You can't imagine what would happen if the war broke out, I hope not!" James wrote in June l830 of 10: "If misfortune comes true, all securities prices will fall and it is impossible to sell anything." A month later, he tried to quantify the risk:
We have 900,000 public bonds (with a face value of 30 million francs), which can be worth 75% if peace continues; If war breaks out, they will drop to 45% ... I think that if peace continues, the price of public debt will rise by at least 10% within three months. ...
This also explains why so many people believe that the Rothschild family not only loves peace, but also uses their financial leverage to maintain peace. For example, Ludwig Born clearly believed that Rothschild's sale of Austrian bonds at 183 1 restricted metternich's military diplomacy. At that time, metternich was eager to prevent the revolution from spreading to Italian and Belgian by force. At the same time, he strongly hinted that the Rothschild family wanted to see France adopt a more peaceful policy toward Austria: "If the Rothschild family took the throne of France, the world would not suffer so many wars between France and Germany." Similar remarks can be heard in political circles. For example, Count Prokesh von Hostains, an Austrian diplomat, said in1830 65438+February: "It's just a matter of ways and means. No matter what Rothschild says, it is decisive. He will not provide a penny for the war. " Two years later, Austrian Chancellor of Finance Koubek directly equated Solomon with "peace". It is not only Austria that thinks it necessary to succumb to the pressure of the Rothschild family. Metternich and Austrian Ambassador to France Apponi claimed that the French government was more dependent on the Rothschild family than the Austrian government. As early as 1828, Prince Picler began to compare the prosperity of the Rothschild family with Napoleon. "Napoleon was born quietly in Ajaccio, but it shocked everyone on the earth.
