Chapter 151, America in 1934

After buying a large amount of land in the United States, Li Shunsheng once again found the largest insurance company in the United States and invested a huge amount of insurance on the farm under his name. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This huge amount of insurance is considered by many to be a decision made after a loss of heart, but only Li Shunsheng knows what it means.

It is worth mentioning that there is a person who also bought land in the United States and insured it with an insurance company. Since the other party's insurance amount is like that, Li Shunsheng doesn't care much, after all, people who blindly follow the trend will exist at any time.

After everything was ready, Li Shunse's life returned to normal, and while enjoying a rare leisure time, he was also waiting for the arrival of what he was looking forward to.

Fast forward to 1934, when the U.S. economy was picking up thanks to the efforts of their president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and people began to be optimistic that a better life would soon come.

Unbeknownst to them, a catastrophe was brewing.

This year, the climate in the United States was somewhat dry, the rain was a little less, there was a shortage of water in a large area, and the windy weather that was rarely seen in the past began to become more frequent.

None of this has attracted much attention, at best, some environmentalists have published their views on these changes in the newspapers, and have tried to call attention to the increasingly deteriorating environment.

Soon the remarks of these people also disappeared from the newspapers, and they naturally would not confide in half of the newspapers about them after being gagged by Li Shunsheng with green dollar bills.

Finally, it all began.

On May 11, 1934, a huge storm swept across the eastern United States and western Canada

。 The storm blew from the most devastated arid region of the western United States, and the wind swept eastward with yellow dust and obscured the sun, forming a huge moving dust belt 2,400 kilometers long from east to west, 1,500 kilometers wide from north to south, and 3.2 kilometers high.

At this time, the Americans finally realized that something was wrong, but from the beginning, they were unable to prevent the development and deterioration of the situation.

They can only watch as things continue to go the worst way.

At this time, the amount of sand in the air is 4O tons per cubic kilometer. The storm lasted three days, swept over two-thirds of the United States, blew away more than 300 million tons of soil, and where the wind passed, wells and streams dried up, cattle and sheep died, and people were uprooted from their homes.

This was the "Black Storm" incident that shocked the world in later generations. "Black storms", also known as sandstorms or sandstorms, have occurred in the United States before, but they are subconsciously forgotten because they are not particularly severe.

The formation of sandstorms is mainly caused by the destruction of vegetation caused by land reclamation during the pioneer period of the United States. This is a historic punishment of human civilization by nature. Due to the continuous reclamation of land resources and the continuous cutting down of forests, the soil has been seriously eroded by wind erosion, and the continuous drought has further increased the phenomenon of land desertification. Under the action of the high-altitude current, the dust particles and sand are rolled up, and the strands of dust rise into the air, forming a huge gray-black storm belt.

The New York Times ran a feature on the front page of the day.

"Finally ......" When he learned that all this had happened, Li Shunsheng, who had been tense with his nerves, was finally relieved, and it was time for him to harvest.

Compared to the terrible black storm outside, the other storm that was gradually forming was even more terrifying.

At the shareholders' meeting of the largest insurance company in the United States, many people were already arguing because they didn't know how to protect themselves in this situation.

On each of them, there was a thin document, but it had become a terrible object like a talisman.
