This is a heavy disaster.

The reason is indeed that Clark forcefully promoted the increase in tariffs on the products of other countries in order to "protect" the farmers, which triggered a joint counterattack by other countries.

To tell the truth, before 1929, although the United States did not have the status of a posterity, that mentality had already come out.

They had gained great benefits in World War I, and had previously defeated Britain to gain independence.

At the moment, they have a very good taste of Lao Tzu who will be the first in the world sooner or later.

As the saying goes, your thoughts determine your actions, and your actions determine your life.

Those in power maintain this mentality and do things without consideration.

Clarke's team could not have imagined that they would suffer such a level of retaliation.

What's even more fatal is that the dollar is still pegged to gold at the moment, and the so-called petrodollar financial system has not been completed, so his risk cannot be passed on to others, and the so-called treasury bonds issued can only be digested internally.

Another problem is that the United States, as the largest creditor, is eager to seize the market.

Their investment in Europe is too large.

But now that Europe itself is in a recession, and the tariffs have been raised because they can't afford to pay the money, Clarke's team is asking people not to eat, so the poor are playing horizontally, and the debt chain begins to collapse.

These phenomena have been superimposing and worsening until the tipping point.

So before the whole world was in chaos, 29 years of false prosperity in the New York trading market was first punctured by pressure.

The financial market, which has long been unable to survive, cannot stop the moment the stock price falls.

In September, Mellon, the 72-year-old Treasury secretary of Clark's White House team, echoed the president's alarmist rhetoric against the New Rome Group and New York State's inexplicably happy New Deal.

He also took the opportunity to assure everyone that the United States would continue to prosper.

He was not only a politician but also a banker.

The Mellon bank under his name is the financial department of the joint chaebol of aluminum, oil, and steel companies.

It can even be said that he is a chaebol.

This kind of person speaks in a word, and his strong indignation has aroused many supporters to follow, and Han Huaiyi has said a word about it: "you." ”

Of course, Mellon was not his opponent, so he didn't dare to think too much.

Especially at that time, he was actually a little weak-hearted.

Because the situation cannot be concealed from him, he is stabilizing the situation, and he is angry with Charlie's remarks, mainly for fear of triggering a chain reaction.

So he kept a low profile.

But Heaven will not let you go for your stupidity because of your attitude.

On this day, the stock plummeted.

It was at this time that a children's song began to become popular in New York: "Mellon blows the whistle, Hoover rings the bell." Wall Street signals that America is rushing to hell! ”（Mellonpulledthewhistle，Hooverrangthebell，WallStreetgavethesignalandthecountrywenttohell）

Before the Clark Group could fight back, the situation deteriorated further.

Outside of New York State, there is a complete surplus of agricultural products that cannot be sold.

A large number of factories and enterprises have closed down.

For example, the Ford plant in Detroit also had huge problems and began to stop production.

This is due to Ford's investment in New York and a project in New Rome, otherwise Henry would have vomited three liters of blood.

He is like this, but others may not be so lucky. wonderful

Things came to a head at Christmas.

California newspapers reported that local people were setting fires in the forest in order to get jobs as firefighters.

Other states reported that milk flooded the Mississippi River, which became the Milky Way because it lost less.

What's even more funny is that 5,000 people compete for 300 jobs.

Corn replaces coal as fuel.

Car owners who could not afford gasoline began to use oxen-drawn carts.

The loss of $30 billion in fortune in two weeks and the loss of their profits from World War I was just the beginning.

Later, 15 million people lost their jobs, and some even walked 900 miles to eat, which happened in Detroit, and sadly the guy went to the Motor City to find that it was not as good as the treatment in his native state of Arkansas.

There has even been a large number of people applying to move abroad.

First and foremost is Wakanda.

This is the legendary land of paradise, and the current situation of settled New York and Wakanda tells people that Charlie and Franklin are the real leaders, and Clark is a fool.

But Wakanda is unusually strict when it comes to immigration.

If you are a student from a prestigious school and have a very good skill, you can apply, otherwise please don't waste your time.

And in this kind of disaster, in addition to Wakanda and New York, there is another area where the situation is not so erosive.

That's San Francisco.

After the completion of a generation of industrial and agricultural construction, San Francisco's industry and agriculture became the economic leader city that radiated to California.

Wakanda took care of San Francisco as soon as possible and began to increase its purchases of agricultural products here.

This ensures that at least everyone has something to eat.

Other than that, however, other places, such as the central United States, are nothing short of miserable.

Children for rotting fruit, adults for grass bark, men quit smoking or roll their own cigarettes, and homes are replaced with low-wattage light bulbs.

Law and order also began to deteriorate, and there were cases of murder and arson.

But Charlie, who is not a philanthropist, continued to move forward with the predetermined limited investment, and told the newspaper about the disaster of the rulers: "I have tried my best to warn and my friends have tried to protect themselves, but who knows why this is happening? We don't have enough to protect the whole of America, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't do anything about it. ”

But he added: "But no matter what, we will do our best to help everyone get through the disaster." ”

At this point, San Francisco's farming and pastoral system began to expand, and low-level craft workshops such as garment processing began to expand, and began to penetrate into California families.

M Food Factory began to sell the accumulated food that had not been sold to the residents at cost price in exchange for their labor.

And in New York.

When Han Huaiyi arrived that day, he and Franklin said, "Now it's time for you to build momentum." There's a way to make your words unquestionable. And it can penetrate into the hearts of the people. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Radio. Take an hour out every day to prepare a script and a speech, and let's call it a fireside chat. Franklin, it's time for you to start campaigning, it's a rehearsal and pulling your mass base. ”

"Isn't it too early?"

At this moment, Franklin did not yet know the importance of public opinion, although he participated in numerous speeches.

Han Huaiyi said: "We are doing good deeds, but if we don't say it, then good things will become bad things in the mouth of the enemy, you must know that people are very blind to follow, we must occupy this commanding heights in advance." ”

"When the penmen don't have time to react." Charlie added that this is a strong Charlie style.

Franklin couldn't help but laugh.
