When the stock market crash finally detonated the economic crisis of the century on a worldwide scale, unprecedented and tragic economic tragedies were staged in every corner of Western countries.

In the city, you can see long queues of people looking for jobs, and sometimes, a small café can attract a large group of applicants, from high to low education, and even doctoral and even senior scientific researchers come to queue up.

What's more, as one of the social assistance provided by the political axe, relief bread has appeared on the streets, and the huge army of unemployed, in order to save even a penny, will wait in line in the autumn wind for that small piece of bread that used to be too hard to feed a dog. Although a larger number of people waiting for relief have not yet emerged, the number of laid-off workers is increasing by tens of thousands every day, and factories and owners are bankrupt and closed everywhere.

You can see that middle-aged people, even noblewomen, who are gorgeously dressed, start running to the banks and loan sharks, trying to mortgage their last possessions to get a sum of money just to make ends meet.

You can see that on the street, a large crowd of people gathered in front of the newspaper, just to see even one word that said that the stock or the economy was going to turn around, but to their disappointment, not only did there be no turnaround, but the whole article was about the economic crisis worsening.

On the street, many people leaned in front of the car, pointing at their car hoarsely and shouting, "The car is for sale, it only costs 100 dollars!" ”

And the car is sticked: $100 can buy this car, lost everything on the stock market, is in dire need of cash!!

And even the Zhonghua brand car, which usually highlights the dignity of the owner, can occasionally be seen on the street, although the price has been raised to several thousand dollars, but compared to its original price, it is still a tattered price.

President Hoover called on people to stand up and use their own hands to solve problems. He assured the people that if they held out for another month, the political axe would raise more money to save the economy.

However, when the British also massively withdrew from the United States, a further storm began, and President Hoover's high-minded rhetoric was blown away like a flying flotsam by an economic storm.

This is not the most tragic thing, the most tragic thing is that even the newspapers that reported the news have closed down one by one, and even the scenes of advertisements in the newspapers used to be sewn in the newspapers are no longer visible, but instead there is a blank blank side, and the publishing house has to print large black and white photos in order to cover up the ugly appearance.

The city is in a miserable situation where the cold winter comes in advance, and the countryside is not much better.

Farmers and proprietors are the first to bear the brunt of the misfortune, and if you drive down the country road, you can see the farmer driving a cart of milk or perhaps a cartload of autumn wheat directly into the river. For a simple reason, transporting crops to the city and selling them will result in greater losses.

Justin is the owner of a shipyard in Philadelphia.

Before the economic crisis, Justin's shipyard, one of the three largest shipyards in Philadelphia, did not receive many orders from the U.S. Navy, unlike the other two shipyards, but received a large number of shipbuilding orders from all over the world.

"If the sea doesn't dry up for a day, my shipyard will be able to receive orders"

It's a quote from Justin before the economic crisis, but whenever he meets a new friend, he will boast so much about himself, the shipyard owner who has the most orders in Philadelphia.

However, when he lost a lot of money in the stock market and was about to find someone to share the shipyard's shares, he found that the economy was going bad every day, and the new year of 1930 was cold for him.

In the shipyard, two large container ships built for France have been 90% completed, but the French suddenly said no, they would rather break the contract and lose the advance payment than pay the rest of the project money. Three cargo ships built for France, almost the same fate. The Frenchman told Justin that the ship would not be paid until 1933.

"Damn French, this is your breach of contract, I'm going to sell them. Damn Italians, damn French, damn economic crisis, damn shipyards, I'll sell you all. ”

When Justin made up his mind to sell everything and go back to the countryside to live a fishing day, it was March 1930.

At this time, not to mention other industries, even Justin's own subordinates are almost gone. The shipyard couldn't afford to pay the wages, and if it weren't for Justin hiring a group of people to protect the shipyard, I'm afraid even the soon-to-be-built steamer would have been demolished by those damn greedy workers.

Sell them! Leaving the damn city and going back to the countryside for a good life, Justin has never been more determined. Of course, it wasn't a whim on his part, but he had just read in the newspaper that a machine shop owner had just sold his factory, supposedly to a merchant in San Francisco. Damn westerners, you're really rich. The owner of the machinery factory happily threw away the machinery factory and threw away the precision equipment of the machinery factory, which had just been replaced for less than a year, at a price only slightly higher than selling scrap iron. Then he drove his newly bought Zhonghua brand car and went back to the countryside to retire.

Something similar happened everywhere, and when the New York Times began to report on the sale of such goods home, many people were inspired to put factories and batches of machinery and equipment into exaggerated shipments to the point of exporting equipment, and put them in newspapers and advertised them.

"Damn factories, damn machines, damn industry, damn political axes...... **you, I'm going back to the countryside with dollars."

Many people are paying attention to this economic crisis, and there is no hope for it, so that a large number of factory owners or businessmen choose to sell what they have at a low price, and then hold the dollar and go back to the countryside or live a rich life in the city. Wealth is relative, and when the average person can afford a car, they are millionaires. When ordinary people can't even eat, they can afford to drive a car, they can afford to take a vacation, their wealth has shrunk by nearly ninety percent, and they are still rich.

Justin was lucky enough to wait for a buyer to come to his door.

"This one, and this, and that, the one farther away, these damn five boats, you can buy them all. Buy the big boat, give the small boat, oh, lo and behold, that piece, a dozen small boats, all yours. ”

When Justin saw a black man getting off the high-end Zhonghua S-type car, he cursed in his heart, how could the damn economic crisis not kill these black guys. Of course, he is more than willing to throw this mess to the gangsters and let them wait for the economic crisis to end.

The black guy also brought a few young people, among whom there were actually yellow-skinned people, damn it, Justin hated dark-skinned and yellow-skinned people the most. But in order to sell the more damned ship, he had to disguise himself.

"What I have is money." The gangster's first words made Justin furious, he used to have money, but it was before the damn economic crisis. "I'm going to buy your entire shipyard. I need to build a hundred ships from the United States to Rwanda......"

Damn Rwanda! Justin scolded in his heart, the ghost knows where Rwanda is, you are building a ship and driving to the moon, and the kind Justin has no opinion.

"All the ships and the shipyards, 10 million dollars!" Justin increased his psychological price several times before finally speaking. Compared with the actions of other business owners around him to sell assets, he is a little worried that the price he offered is too high. Although, the input of the shipyard and the value of five ships combined, are much larger than this number. "You see, the largest one has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and the damn Italians are always ambitious."

The blackman and his yellow-skinned technicians looked over at the ship, and everyone was ready to go and see the big ships. Passing through the mess of shipyard equipment and steel bars, the group stepped onto one of the largest ships.

The upper part is almost empty, and the wide upper deck, with no superfluous buildings, is all the way to the deck.

The yellow-skinned technician nodded, what a good cargo ship, it only takes less than a year to convert a powerful aircraft carrier, what is most needed in China is not these big ships that can be transformed into aircraft carriers?

The black guy who got the nod from the yellow-skinned youth smiled inadvertently, and then turned to Justin, who was scolding there, "Mr. Justin, I bought everything, even if it's a screw." 2 million, it's cash!! ”

"Damn, $2 million? Any big ship here can be sold for 2 million after it is built. The largest one, if you dismantle scrap iron and sell it, it can be worth hundreds of thousands. It's too low, I don't sell it. Justin was furious, this price was actually $1 million lower than his psychological price, which was really difficult for him to accept.

"Mr. Justin, if you don't sell to us, the whole of America, you won't find a company that can take over your shipyard. Of course, if you're willing to sell to your counterpart, the other two shipyards, I think they'll do. After all, they produce warships for political axes, and the economic crisis cannot shake them. Of course, if you don't sell anyone, these ships and equipment can only be left in the shipyard to rust, and no one will even collect scrap iron......"

The black guy said slowly with a cigar in his mouth.

"No, never, damn it, never sell to them. 2.5 million will be sold, and I won't sell it for less than a dollar. Justin gave in again, he couldn't imagine that if this price was rejected by the other party, would he be able to wait until the next buyer? Creditors have been blocking the door for days, just for the damn $100,000.

"Deal, Mr. Justin, but we have a request, you need to provide us with staff information to help us get back so that the shipyard can start working."

"I'll give you a piece of information, damned, greedy worker."

The deal was made, and Justin was even happy that he was able to go back to the countryside with a huge sum of $2.5 million and become a millionaire without waiting for the economic crisis to kill him.

This kind of thing is happening all over the United States, some people sell the machinery and equipment bought back from Zijin Port, some people sell their production lines, some people sell their shipyards, and many more people sell their new cargo ships because there are no goods to do business with. There are also people who sell their overseas oil fields and mines.

At the same time, some extensive recruitment plans began to emerge overwhelmingly.

"A monthly salary of $60, only skilled skilled workers are needed."

"With a monthly salary of $80, you need teachers in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, etc. If you are a researcher and have your own patents, your monthly salary can be negotiated. ”

"$500 a month, recruiting excellent scientific talents, or reading science talents......"

…… The streets and alleys are full of advertisements for recruitment, and large groups of people will be sent to different places.

And when the American political axe received a report that countless Europeans, Jews, Asians, and even Chinese and Americans had left the United States and gone to Asia, the political axe replied like this.

"Damn the army of unemployed, they're going abroad to generate income. If you don't let them out, will you let them starve to death!! Moreover, the American political axe will not allow a great scholar to leave the United States. Whoever leaves, is a loser! ”

However, it is these so-called losers, these foreigners, foreigners who were originally hopeful for the United States, who have left the United States one after another and traveled to a mysterious country: southwest China.

There, after conducting safety investigations, they will be assigned to countless new factories, schools, corporate research institutes, etc., to make use of their strengths.

And with this wave of "going abroad to generate income", there are countless materials, even the whole ship of equipment, machinery, and materials that came to Fangchenggang in Guangxi, China...... These goods, which were bought back from the United States, or France, or England at tattered prices, were bought by either blacks, or whites, or in person, or in the capacity of Europeans, under the pretext that they were shipped to all parts of the world, but unfortunately, in the chaotic times, these materials were shipped to China in a circle.

What is particularly ridiculous is that when the British [***] ship is boarded and inspected, the sailors would rather believe the dollars or gold in their hands than suspect that these things put together with dead chickens or dead fish and stinky shrimp are actually very advanced high-precision machinery and equipment. As for ordinary cargo ships, they are even more unlimited. The economic crisis has even affected the patrol fleet, they have food and drink, but their family and friends at home are suffering, and the Chinese are so pervasive that they have even bought the entire patrol fleet up and down. The sailors are also willing to let them go, and let the Chinese recycle scrap iron or garbage in the civilized world, which can be regarded as paying for the economic crisis.

As long as it is not aircraft and artillery that are shipped to China, even if there was a war between the two countries, what if they are released, they will be released!!

"Mr. Gruny, I already see the land!! China, that's China! ”

When the sailors who had been sailing for a week finally saw Fangcheng Harbor, a whole fleet led by Gruney crossed the ocean and finally landed.

He was accompanied by more than 20,000 Jews who had left the United States, in addition to the machinery and supplies of a fleet of ships that he had "purchased" by the way.

"China is such a great place." Gruni ordered his men to sell the contents of the ships to the Chinese at a fifty percent discount as a sign of friendship, which was nothing to the Jews. Unfortunately, he could not give the money to these unemployed Jewish workers or teachers and researchers, but to bring them to a country where there were countless job opportunities.

After meeting Zhang Shusheng's representatives, he resolutely decided to take China as his destination, the United States, and it was enough to leave it to the rich Jews to enjoy themselves, ordinary Jews, what they needed was a job, what they needed was a life of hope, not the United States, which was riddled with holes and tens of millions of unemployed.
