Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 78 Black Tuesday

The entire "Roaring Era" looks wonderful, but the hidden dangers are also huge.

Although George watched everything, he couldn't stop it alone.

As one of the vested interests, George also completed the establishment of a business empire during this period.

Regardless of whether he has made great achievements in cultural media, energy and minerals, military scientific research, or civilian technology, it can be said that in ten years, George has completed the accumulation of hundreds of years by those aristocratic families.

Next, George will still take advantage of the upcoming crisis to continue to develop, and will continue to seize power that can affect the world to a greater extent.

In the past few years, some things have happened.

A year ago, the person monitoring Abraham Erkins received news that there were suspicious people around Dr. Erkins' home.

On the third night after the news reached George, Dr. Erkins secretly took his family to prepare to drive out of Germany in the dark.However, it was intercepted by the Nazis more than 100 kilometers away from the border.Dr. Erkins' family and Dr. Erkins were taken away by two gangs.

The surveillance personnel who had been following far behind followed George's instructions and released the group with Dr. Erkins.Continue to follow Dr. Erkins' family side, and then rescue Dr. Erkins' family on the way to the place of custody.

After bringing Dr. Erkins' family back to the stronghold, contact George.

"Hello, Mrs. Erkins." George greeted Mrs. Erkins with a smile in German when he saw Mrs. Erkins, who was still looking frightened and confused about the situation, with a teenage boy and a girl behind her.

"Who are you?" asked Mrs. Erkins.

"At least now it seems that we are the ones who saved you, right? So don't be nervous. We are not bad people." George said, "Sorry, let me introduce myself first. My name is George Orwell Swent. I used to work with I know Dr. Erkins. I am here to save you this time."

After hearing that George and Erkins knew each other before, and that George indeed saved herself and her children, Mrs. Erkins chose to believe George, "Thank you, sir! Please save Erkins! He is just a university professor. , shouldn’t have to suffer this.”

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Erkins. Maybe you don't know who the people who captured your husband are. Let me tell you, they are people from the German Weapons Research Institute. One of Dr. Erkins's research was of interest to them. , so the doctor is safe until the research is completed. And, for the time being, he cannot be taken away." George replied, "But don't worry, I promise you that I will definitely take him away. In front of you."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you for your life-saving grace." Mrs. Erkins, knowing that she could not ask for too much from others, bowed and thanked her.

"Okay, it's not safe here. Next, I will take you to the United States, so don't be nervous." After saying that, he silently recited the "Sleeping Curse" to the three of them.After all three people are unconscious, put the three people into the chaotic space.After giving some arrangements to the surveillance personnel, George used the door key to return to Hogwarts Island.

After taking the three people out of the space, they called the old housekeeper and told him that the three people would live on the island for a long time in the future and asked him to take them down to rest.

After waking up, arrange for someone to teach English to three people.After all, I have to live on the island for a long time.

In a few days, the personnel from those two strongholds would also leave Germany under other names.

In the original time, Dr. Erkins' family was later imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp and eventually tortured to death.George has changed a lot in the past few years.For example, there are many statues on Hogwarts Island. These are magic puppets made by George using his alchemy knowledge and combining metals from this world.It usually exists as a decoration, but can be turned into a defensive force when necessary.

Under George's planning, a new way of shopping, supermarkets, has emerged across the United States and even some big cities in Europe in the past two years.

This novel shopping method became an instant hit once it was launched.Brought a lot of wealth to George.

George also built many hospitals across the United States, among which Orwell Hospital in New York, which specialized in treating the top wealthy, was the most famous.The reason is that the medical methods used in this hospital are the most advanced in the United States.Diseases that cannot be cured elsewhere can still be cured in this hospital.

This is where George tried the magic potion he refined, so this hospital is also recognized as the most expensive hospital.

In addition to medical facilities and supermarkets, George also bought a large area of ​​land leading to the other end of Hogwarts Island.George remembered that an airport was built here in later generations.However, the land is now being used by George to build a private school.From kindergarten to university, the entire education process.

Some of these students are the next generation of employees in his company, and some are students attracted by George with funds from major high school campuses.

The teachers and professors at the school were all hired by George with high salaries from various prestigious universities.

In the future, these graduates will be given priority to work in George's own companies.

Except for the occasional involvement in the development of the company, George has invested all the energy accumulated in the space in the past few years into the expansion of the space, without extracting items.He also devoted his energy to alchemy and the study of runes.

In addition to the achievements in alchemy puppets and potions, George is also studying the feasibility of the teleportation array.After all, when it comes to long-distance teleportation, the feeling of having your belly button pulled when using a portkey is not pleasant.Moreover, George has made great progress.

Everything must end one day, but when that day does come, it is often unprepared.

On October 10, everyone on the New York Stock Exchange was caught up in the vortex of selling stocks.The stock index plummeted an average of 29 percent from its previous peak of 363, and thousands of Americans watched their life savings evaporate in a matter of days.At the top of the buildings on both sides of Wall Street, desperate people lined up to jump from the stairs.

This is the darkest day in the history of U.S. securities. It is the most influential and harmful economic event in U.S. history, and its impact has spread to Western countries and even the entire world.Since then, the United States and the world have entered a decade-long period of economic depression.Therefore, this day is regarded as a landmark event that started the Great Depression, and because it fell on a Tuesday, it was called "Black Tuesday."

从10月29日到11月13日短短的两个星期内，共有300亿美元的财富消失，相当于美国在第一次世界大战中的总开支。但美国股票巿场崩溃不过是一场灾难深重的经济危机爆发的火山口。

There was a popular children's song in New York at that time: "Melon sounded the whistle, Hoover rang the bell. Wall Street sent out a signal, and the United States rushed to hell!" With the collapse of the stock market, the U.S. economy immediately fell into a devastating disaster. , a terrible chain reaction occurred quickly: crazy runs, bank failures, factory closures, workers' unemployment, the onset of poverty, organized resistance, and the edge of civil war.Agricultural capitalists and large farmers destroyed "surplus" products in large quantities, used wheat and corn as fuel for coal, and poured milk into the Mississippi River, turning the river into a "Milky Way."The homeless in the city built simple shelters using wooden boards, old iron sheets, oilcloth and even brown paper. The villages where these huts gathered were called "Hoovervilles".The begging bags of homeless people are called "Hoover bags." The cars that are pulled by animal power because they cannot afford to buy fuel are called "Hoover cars." Even the newspapers covered by homeless people sleeping on street benches are also called "Hoover bags." Buddha blanket".The street apple vendor became one of the most familiar symbols of the Great Depression.Among those forced to earn a living running fruit stands, many were formerly successful businessmen and bankers.

Because George was prepared in advance, he did not cause any losses and ushered in more rapid development.
