Chapter 76 The Roaring Era

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

Although George watched everything, he could not 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 people who monitored 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 and prepared to drive out of Germany at night. However, they were intercepted by the Nazis more than 100 kilometers away from the border. Dr. Erkins' family and

Dr. Erkins was 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. They continued to follow Dr. Erkins' family side, and then rescued Erkins on the way to the place of detention.

Dr. Si's family.

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

"Hello, Mrs. Erkins." George smiled and greeted Mrs. Erkins in German when he saw Mrs. Erkins, who was still looking frightened and confused about the situation, with a boy and a girl in their teenage years protecting her 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 Swenter. I used to be with you.

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 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." Knowing that she could not ask for too much from others, Mrs. Erkins 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 people. After all three people were unconscious, put the three people in

Chaotic Space. After explaining 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 and asked him to take them down to rest.

After waking up, arrange for someone to teach English to the three of them. After all, they will have to live on the island for a long time.

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

In the original time, Dr. Erkins' family was later imprisoned in a concentration camp and eventually tortured to death.

George has changed a lot of things in the past few years. For example, there are many more statues on Hogwarts Island. These are magic puppets that George used his alchemy knowledge to combine with the metals of this world. They usually exist as decorations and are necessary.

Time can be turned into a defensive force.

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 came out, bringing George a lot of wealth.

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

There is still hope for treatment in this hospital.

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

In addition to medical and supermarkets, George also bought a large piece of land leading to the other end of Hogwarts Island. George remembered that an airport was built here in later generations. However, now this land is used by George to build a private hotel.

School. From kindergarten to university, the entire education process.

Some of these students are the next generation of employees of 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.

In addition to occasionally being involved 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, and has not extracted items. He has also invested his energy in alchemy and the study of runes.<

In addition to the achievements in alchemy puppets and potions, George is also studying the feasibility of teleportation arrays. 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 already has

Great progress has been made.

Everything must end one day, but when that day does come, people are often caught off guard.

On October 29, everyone in the New York Stock Exchange fell into the vortex of selling stocks. The stock index suddenly fell by an average of 40 percentage points from the previous high of 363. Thousands of Americans watched helplessly as they lived their entire lives.

All their savings were wiped out within a few days. From the top of the buildings on both sides of Wall Street, desperate people lined up and jumped down.

This was the darkest day in the history of U.S. securities. It was the most influential and harmful economic event in U.S. history, and its impact spread to Western countries and even the entire world. After that, the United States and the world entered a 10-year period of economic depression. Therefore,

This day is regarded as a landmark event that started the Great Depression. Because it falls on a Tuesday, it is called "Black Tuesday".

In just two weeks from October 29 to November 13, a total of US$30 billion in wealth disappeared, equivalent to the total expenditure of the United States in World War I. But the US stock market crash was nothing more than a

The crater from which a devastating economic crisis erupted.

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, poverty coming, organized resistance, the edge of civil war. Agricultural capitalists and large farmers destroyed "surplus" products in large quantities and used wheat and corn

Used as fuel for coal, poured milk into the Mississippi River, turning the river into a "Galaxy". The homeless in the city built simple shelters using wooden boards, old iron sheets, oilcloth and even brown paper.

Villages where huts gather are 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." They even sleep on street benches.

The newspapers covered on homeless people were also called "Hoover blankets." And the apple vendors on the street became one of the most familiar symbols of the Great Depression. Among those who were forced to make a living by running mobile fruit stands

, there are many former successful businessmen and bankers.
