Before the sky brightened, an off-road vehicle drove on the frozen soil of northern Finland and sped to the northeast.
Mount Pecko was not far from Lake Inari, but there was no proper road from here to the north of Lake Inari. Fortunately, Jiang Chen stored an off-road vehicle in the storage dimension before he came. Otherwise, he would have to worry about transportation.
Ayesha was still the driver.
Leaning on the passenger seat, Jiang Chen slid his fingers on the holographic screen and flipped through the information he scanned from the family history. A curvature appeared on his face.
"Interesting …"
"Mhmm?" Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen.
"It's nothing, I just saw something unknown to others. I finally understand now that this is what those so-called prophets are. " Jiang Chen sighed and briefly told Ayesha about the information he read in this family history.
The Rothschild family could be traced back to Mayer Rothschild, but it was not him who really brought the family to its peak, but his son, Nathan Rothschild.
In March 1814, on the eve of Napoleon's first exile, Nathan predicted that Vienna and London were about to enter a bull market, so he bought Austrian stocks on the stock exchange. However, in just one year, Napoleon fled Elba and returned to Paris to restore the historical "Hundred Days Dynasty". Nathan, who was full of Austrian stocks, almost lost everything …
So far, everything recorded in this family history was the same as what Jiang Chen saw in the world financial history.
However, in April 1815, in just one month, the divergence of history appeared.
After Napoleon's restoration, Nathan regrouped. On the one hand, he hoarded gold in London. As recorded in history, he loudly predicted that the British government would go to war on the European continent and claimed that the war would make the British Empire trapped in the quagmire on the European continent. On the other hand, on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, he changed his previous negative stance and quietly swept away the British bonds that had fallen to 7% of their original price.
What happened next was just like in history. In June of the same year, even the Duke of Wellington himself did not expect that he led the British Prussian Coalition Army and defeated the invincible Napoleon.
The British army brought the news of victory back to London. At this moment of national celebration, Rothschild, with a large number of British bonds, naturally became the largest creditor of the British Empire and the biggest winner of the war.
At that time, controlling the pound was equivalent to controlling the world.
Interestingly, according to Nathan's own description, as early as April, he predicted the battle and even the outcome of the war.
Nathan did not describe in detail how he reached out to the remnants of the Void. He did not even mention the Golden Apple. He simply used a few vague words to explain the glory under the name of "the grace of my Lord" and blamed it on a dream.
According to Lin Lin's research results, some people with special brain structure could naturally perceive a specific frequency of Klein particle signals due to the high density of Klein particles in the brain. The specific manifestation was usually dreams or drunken hallucinations.
"I didn't expect this. I originally thought that the divergence point of the timeline of the two worlds was in World War II. I didn't expect history to be changed beyond recognition during the Napoleonic era." Jiang Chen let out a long sigh and turned off the holographic screen.
No wonder he asked Lin Lin in the apocalypse if she had heard of the name Rothschild. Lin Lin looked at him blankly.
It turned out that this family did not exist in the timeline of the apocalypse.
Including the Freemasonry.
This was also the reason why World War II ended much earlier in the apocalypse than in the modern world.
"In other words, for the people of the Rothschild family, the Golden Apple is actually more like a signal amplifier?" Ayesha asked, "Their own system can sense the Klein particle signals from the Remnants of the Void?"
"It can be said that because the brain alone can't accept too much data, the Remnants of the Void taught them the manufacturing process of the Golden Apple and used their hands to create the Golden Apple. Then, there was the black technology of the Third Reich. It's just that the Rothschild family didn't expect that after the Fuehrer got the Golden Apple, he kicked them away. "Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
However, history still returned to the right track. Even the black technology that transcended the era could not change the ending of the Third Reich.
Jiang Chen could probably guess the approach of the Remnants of the Void. They may have wanted to create a unified and militarized regime by interfering with history before humans could destroy themselves. However, history always repeated the same ending. History did not develop in the direction they expected, and it even gave birth to a multi-polar world that was more divided than the three polar worlds.
The collapse of the Soviet Union, the rise of the Third World, and the Pan-Asia Cooperation did not appear from beginning to end …
"But … since they can hear the voice of the Remnants of the Void without the Golden Apple, why did they completely lose contact with the Remnants of the Void in the past half a century?" Ayesha tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"Perhaps only the Remnants of the Void know," Jiang Chen shrugged. "If I were to guess, it's most likely that those people in the Void felt that they could no longer help, so they simply shut up."
If they couldn't transmit the technology that transcended the era through the Golden Apple, the only thing those Remnants of the Void could do was to use their advantage of historical foresight. However, history had long been changed beyond recognition by them. The Soviet Union, which dominated the doomsday timeline until the end of the 22nd century, actually ended up being torn apart in the 20th century. The development of things was beyond their expectations.
Of course, there may be another possibility that the Rothschild family was abandoned by them. The Remnants of the Void thought that they could not complete the great cause of establishing the "Earth Federation", so they gave up supporting them.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly realized a problem and couldn't help but grin.
"Does that mean I've been chosen by the emperor?"
At the last moment, those people in the Void seemed to have handed antimatter to him.
What does this mean? Could it be that I was born with the appearance of an emperor? Am I destined to be the first "Captain"? That's embarrassing. According to tradition, should I also recite a poem or two …
Ayesha blinked as she looked at the side of 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 was not depressed because he didn't succeed.
Because of this simple reason, a bright smile also bloomed on her face.
The rising sun gilded her beautiful smile with a layer of gold. In this misty white dawn, the two of them drove into the distance.
