Chapter 324: The Great Depression

In October 1929, the Northwest Army in East Asia telegraphed against Mr. Chiang, and at this time, the attention of the world's countries was not actually in East Asia, the Wall Street stock market crashed, and the world economy began to be in the Great Depression.

The reasons for the First World War gave the United States a great influence in Western Europe, and the collapse of the New York stock market naturally affected the countries of Western Europe, and the countries of Western Europe actually affected the whole world, even the alliance of four countries in the "blockade" region of Eastern Europe was not without influence under the Great Depression.

Within the first hour of the crash, more than 10 investors committed suicide, and countless stocks were sold off at extremely low prices. The disaster was without warning, and there was no movement even before the opening of the market, and the bad news came suddenly, and it was hard to imagine what the shareholders at that time were in when they saw this scene.

Perhaps one sentence can describe the mood of those investors - life is worse than death. It is also at this moment that the citizens living in the United States remember this sentence in Chinese, because it is a very apt description of their mood at this time. It was so violent at the beginning, and by January 1920, hundreds of banks had collapsed and tens of thousands of businesses had closed, and this was only the beginning, and many banks and enterprises were barely able to support them.

In the past few months alone, more than one million American citizens have lost their jobs, including some financial experts and industrial elites. This is an opportunity for the Quad companies to be able to hire a lot of people at a very low price that they can't afford to have, because they also need a living, they need a job that can guarantee themselves and their families.

The enterprises of the Quad also have a great influence, but compared to the United States and Western Europe, their influence is much smaller, and they have the ability to carry out a change of blood for their own enterprises.

The impact of the Great Recession was not just economic. The government is very closely watching people's movements, and the whole world is sitting on a dynamite, and the slogan of asking for food and jobs is all over the United States.

The companies of the Quad Alliance are very excited to go to the United States to dig up the wall and hire business operators, and the banks have also come out, and their purpose is very simple. It is to increase the influence of the euro, and if it can replace the dollar in the United States, then it is naturally the best, even if this is not possible at all.

Although the financial affairs of the Quad Alliance have also been affected, the Quad Alliance started with agriculture and industry, and grain is the least lacking, and although the United States is also a big grain producer, most of this grain is in the hands of private individuals, and even the government does not have much ability to intervene.

Grain merchants are not patriotic? Of course they don't. They only have wealth in their eyes, which is good news for them, why not if they have money? Double, triple, tenfold! That's the price of food during the Great Depression, even if it angered government officials.

The depreciation of the dollar has more than doubled the wealth of many families, and what used to be possible for a dollar now costs $10, if not more, for food......

What is the hottest bank in the United States right now? There is no doubt that it was the Prague Bank, and even the Prague Bank acquired 45 percent of Citibank's shares. A real landing in the United States.

The Quad did not build factories in the United States, because that was a kind of help to the United States. Now the Quad wants nothing more than to suck its remnants of nutrients, not give. Of course, reputation is also very important, because it is the umbrella of the Quad Alliance's enterprises.

There is no opportunity to work, but the Quad often comes with some cheap food, and these citizens can get euros as long as they sell some items from their homes to the bank, which can only be bought with euros. Banks often sell very high prices for items that are sold, which makes American citizens very happy.

Very high is also on the basis of the present, in fact, these things have shrunk more than tenfold, so it can be said that as long as the Great Depression is over, once the things are sold back to the United States. That's at least ten times the profit, not even counting some of the treasure value.

The U.S. government is naturally very angry about this, but they can't do it, because it is the companies and banks of the Quad Alliance that allow them to avoid citizen demonstrations and protests, especially now that American citizens are their umbrella and cannot be easily touched.

The same thing is happening not only in the United States, but also in Western Europe, but because the influence in Western Europe is relatively small, the effect is not too obvious.

The Great Depression was not just Ernst's chance, but the German Hitler had finally waited for his chance, an opportunity to fight his way out of the midst of many difficulties.

For any tyrant, peace and stability are not what they want to see, because it often means the peace and stability of the regime, and how can he create his own empire?

In response to reparations, in response to the economic crisis and the Great Depression, Hitler went around promoting his ideas, and at the same time secretly said that the government was "incompetent", at this time the new German chancellor took office, but it is not clear how long the new chancellor who came to power in this position can last in this position.

The treasury is in deficit, and now the government is quarreling over how to balance the deficit of the treasury, and the citizens below are increasingly dissatisfied with the government of the Weimar Republic, [Germany], because of the secret rumors, and they want a man who can save the German nation and bring peace and stability to society.

It was at this time that Hitler began to stand on the surface, and in the face of the aspirations of the citizens, Hitler made generous promises, and at the same time declared that the "Nazi Party" was not a party of a certain class but a popular party, and that it was aimed at the entire German nation, not the aristocracy and the poor.

By this time, the German citizens had begun to despair, so Hitler's propaganda was very effective, and the number of Nazi Party members had begun to increase exponentially, and by June 1930, the number of Nazi Party had reached more than 300,000, and there were more than 80,000 armed stormtroopers.

At this moment, no one can ignore this young man (40 years old), who is not very tall, and the attention of the National Assembly, senior government officials, citizen representatives, nobles, and the royal family has begun to focus on him......

Hitler had already begun to attend all sorts of banquets, he was already a well-known communicator in Berlin, and at the same time the main representative of the various delegates, but no one thought of the mustache's ambitions, and no one knew that their actions would be regretful in the future.

It's June, and the East Asian region has changed a lot in a few months, first a series of wars, in which there are winners and losers, but unconsciously, Mr. Jiang has stood in a very high position, because he has become the boss of several major warlords from the original small person.

Because of Chiang Kai-shek's strength, the attitude of European and American countries towards him has also changed greatly, mainly because of the Great Depression, they all need a market, and East Asia is undoubtedly a very good choice.

During this period, the Four-Nation Alliance also changed very much, first of all, Ernst ordered the chief executives of the provinces and regions to make a general report on the economy of their respective regions, and secondly, the report on the completion of the national railways, so it can be said that almost the entire Four-Power Alliance is now connected together, and of course some of the railways occupy Soviet territory.

The Soviets began to recover from obscurity, but in any case the Soviet government at this time did not have the courage to wage war with the Quadruple Alliance, and the lesson of the previous time was very vivid to him.

This time Charlie and Lorenz. Franz spent his free time with Archduke Ferdinand, while Burkett. Franz was sent by Ernst to the Kazakh kingdom, and as the crown prince, he had a territory of his own in the Kazakh steppe, including even a thousand-man tank regiment, and he was also the first crown prince of the Quadruple Alliance to have a private army.

It is very obvious that the Quad Alliance has begun to attach importance to the second generation, and the prime ministers have their own small actions, of course, at this time the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania has completed its own actions, and Arturas resigned from his post as prime minister and became the executive director of the Quad Alliance.

Although Arturas served as the executive director of the alliance, it was not Marquis Schmidt who held his position as prime minister. Feng. The life of Count Ko, whose title was inherited by his son, Count Koebel the Younger, and the post of Prime Minister of Hungary was held by Marquis Schmidt.

In this way, the post of Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania became vacant, and to the surprise of the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, Stennis was vacant. Gross was transferred to the Second Kingdom of the Union as Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire was a member of the former Polish-East Prussia-Lithuanian Cabinet Brattwitz.

A small change made the strength accumulated by the major prime ministers disappear in an instant, and only Massena is the only one who maintains his strength, but he doesn't seem to have any precautions against this hero, Ernst, but ......

In July 1930, Messena, Prime Minister of the Czech Principality, voluntarily applied for resignation from the post of Czech Prime Minister, and Ernst agreed to Massena's application, but appointed him as the executive director of the Four-Power Alliance, and the Prime Minister of the Czech Principality was Prince Flender, who would resign as executive director of the Four-Power Alliance.

The political changes in the Quadruple Alliance have made many people unimagine, and some people with ulterior motives wanted to take this opportunity to harass the Quadruple Alliance, but before they could make a move, Ernst's layout had been completed. (To be continued.) )
