I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056: The Secret History of The Rothschild Family

The day had yet to break; an off-road vehicle was traversing through the frozen soil in northern Finland and galloping northeast.

The mountain was not far from Lake Inari, but there were no proper roads connecting the north of Lake Inari to here. Fortunately, Jiang Chen stored an off-road vehicle in his storage dimension, otherwise, he would have encountered some issues.

Ayesha was still the driver.

Sunk into the front passenger seat, Jiang Chen’s finger slid on the holographic screen, reading through the information scanned from the book. He was quite intrigued with the content inside.

“Interesting…”

“Hmm?” Ayesha looked to Jiang Chen.

“Nothing, I just saw some secrets. I finally understand now what the so-called prophets mean.” With a sigh, Jiang Chen told Ayesha briefly what he read from the book he found.

The Rothschild family started with Mayer Rothschild, but it was not him that brought the family to the top, but his son Nathan Rothschild.

On the eve of Napoleon’s first exile in March 1814, Nathan predicted that the Vienna and London stock market were about to enter a bull market, thus buying Austrian stocks. However, in just one year, Napoleon fled to Elba Island and returned to Paris for “Hundred Days”. Nathan, bull on Austrian stocks, lost almost everything…

So far, everything recorded in this family history was the same as Jiang Chen saw in the world financial history.

However, in April 1815, just a month’s time, historical differences appeared.

After Napoleon’s restoration, Nathan regrouped. On the one hand, he hoarded gold in London. As recorded in history, he openly predicted that the British government would fight on the European continent, and claimed that this war would force the British Empire to be stuck in an extended war. On the other hand, on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, he changed his previous position of being bearish on the British, and quietly swept all the British government bonds that had fallen to 7% of the original price.

Everything else happened according to history. In June of the same year, even the Duke of Wellington himself did not expect the outcome. He actually led the British Prussian coalition and defeated the invincible Napoleon.

The British Army sung the triumphant songs, and brought the news of victory back to London. During this national celebration, Rothschild, with a large amount of British government bonds, became the largest creditor of the British Empire and became the biggest winner in the war.

At that time, controlling the pound was the same as controlling the world.

Interestingly, according to Nathan’s own description, as early as April, he predicted the occurrence of this battle and even foresaw the end of the war.

Nathan did not describe in detail how he got in touch with the Remnants of the Void. He didn’t even mention the word Golden Apple. He just used vague words to describe this glory in honor of “the gift of my Lord”.

According to Lin Lin’s research, some people with a unique brain structure possessed a higher Klein particle density. They naturally could perceive the specific frequency of the Klein particle signal, through specific cases such as dreams or the illusion of drunkenness.

“I thought that the timeline of the two worlds diverged in World War II. I didn’t expect that it changed since the Napoleon time.” Jiang Chen sighed and closed the holographic screen.

No wonder when he asked Lin Lin whether she had heard of Rothschild’s name before, Lin Lin looked at him dumbfoundedly.

It turned out that this family had never existed on the timeline of the apocalypse.

This includes the Freemasonry.

It was the reason why the World War II ended much earlier there than the modern world.

“So, for the Rothschild family, the Golden Apple is more like an amplifier?” Ayesha asked, “their body can detect the Klein particles from the Remnants of the Void?”

“You can say that. Because brain itself cannot accept too much data, so the Remnants of the Void gave them the manufacturing process of Golden Apple, used their hands to create the Golden Apple that later gave birth of the technology of the Third Reich. The only thing that the Rothschild family did not expect was that the Fuhrer kicked them out once he got his hands on the Golden Apple.” Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

However, history still returned to the right track. Even the technology that transcended times didn’t change the ending for the Third Reich.

Jiang Chen could understand the intention of the Remnants of the Void. Perhaps they wanted to create a unified and militarized regime by interfering with history before humans could destroy themselves. However, history always repeated itself. History did not develop in the direction they expected, and even bred a multi-polar world that was more divided than the world divided into three powers.

The collapse of the Soviet Union, the rise of the third world, and the Pan-Asia Cooperation that never formed…

“But… since they don’t need the Golden Apples to hear from the Remnants of the Void, why did they lose contact with them in the past half century?” Ayesha was confused.

“Perhaps only the Remnants of the Void know.” Jiang Chen shrugged. “If you let me guess, those who are in the void probably felt they couldn’t help more, so they shut up.”

If the Remnants of the Void couldn’t transfer technology through the Golden Apple, the only thing that they could do was to use their own advantages in being the prophet of history. However, history was already changed by them. In the apocalypse where the Soviet Union dominated till the end of the twenty-second century, actually ended in the twentieth century. Everything changed beyond their expectations.

Of course, it may be another possibility. The Rothschild family was abandoned by them. The Remnants of the Void believed that they couldn’t complete the great cause of establishing the “Earth Federation”, so they gave up.

Jiang Chen then suddenly realized a problem and couldn’t stop laughing with one hand rubbing his chin.

“So, am I the chosen one?”

At the last minute, those in the void seemed to have put antimatter in his hands.

What does this mean? Am I the chosen one? Am I destined to be the first “Earth Master?”

Ayesha stared at Jiang Chen’s face.

Although she didn’t know what he was thinking, she could feel that Jiang Chen was in a good mood and not frustrated because they missed the target.

For this simple reason, a bright smile also formed on her face.

The rising sun gilded a beautiful layer of golden mist on her beautiful smile, and in this misty white morning, the two drove into the distance.
