Chapter 1046

October 24, 1929, should be remembered all over the world.

In the New York stock exchange market, as soon as the market opened, many stocks began to fall. Subsequently, more and more stocks fell, and the entire stock market began to fall sharply like an avalanche.

All the stock traders were stunned, they never expected such a thing to happen.

"My God! Is this the end of the world?" said a stock trader in pain. Because, half of his life savings have also been invested in the stock market. However, the sharp drop in the stock market now directly caused all his wealth to be evaporated!

Of course, it wasn't just his fortune that was evaporated alone. Also evaporated, there are other people's wealth. The entire United States has suffered heavy losses due to this stock market crash.

At the same time, stocks plummeted, which also led to a series of problems. Businesses began to go bankrupt, banks closed, workers lost their jobs, and the goods produced could not be sold. All this shows that the era of economic prosperity in the United States is gone forever.

Next, the entire United States will enter the economic winter.

The economic crisis broke out from the United States and then spread to the whole world. Europe and Asia, as well as the Americas, have all been hit. Europe is now basically controlled by Germany. Among the measures introduced by the German government in advance, it has played a certain role in resisting the economic crisis. The Americas and Asia were the hardest hit. Especially the island countries, their current market is full of American goods. The economic crisis broke out in the United States, and the economy of the island country was hit hard as a result. This is undoubtedly worse for the island countries that are trying to restore the military strength of the island countries and then seek revenge from Germany. In order to collect enough military expenses, the island government had to further intensify the exploitation and oppression of the domestic people.

On October 31, the German cabinet held a meeting to study and judge the impact of the economic crisis on the German economy.

"Your Majesty, the economic crisis has broken out. A large number of businesses in the United States have closed down, workers have lost their jobs, and the economy of the entire country has become a mess. It is expected that this situation will last for several years. The empire has not been affected by this economic crisis. Not much. However, it may be difficult for our products to be exported outside the control area. In this case, it will bring pressure to the survival of some enterprises." Prime Minister Wahit said. Especially those companies whose main markets are in the Americas and island countries, I am afraid this time they will be in trouble.

Qin Tian nodded, although the global economy has not yet been integrated. However, it is undeniable that the economic linkages are getting closer. This also makes it impossible for Germany to survive the economic crisis alone.

"The imperial government can implement some measures, let's find a way to save it!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Vashite nodded.

For Germany, these are actually not a big problem. The mature domestic market, the market formed by most of Europe, and the market formed by the world's largest colony are enough to make it easy for Germany to survive this economic crisis.

"The United States will suffer heavy losses in this economic crisis, right? Then, is there any way for the empire to further increase the losses of the Americans?" Qin Tian asked.

Although, the conflict between the United States and Germany has been over for ten years. However, the hatred between the two countries has not been resolved, but has deepened. This also makes the governments of the two countries prepare for the war, hoping to defeat the enemy and win the victory in the future war.

"Your Majesty, we think the most feasible plan is to concentrate a large amount of cash and buy those machines and equipment from the United States. Many American factories have gone bankrupt, and those machines and equipment will be idle. If the empire can buy those machines and equipment, it can It has brought the industrial strength of the empire to a new level. Now that the United States is in an economic crisis, we can buy those machines and equipment at a very low price. In addition, the United States has many scientists and engineers, as well as experts and scholars in various fields, and even technology Workers, because of the economic crisis, have lost their livelihoods. We can definitely recruit them to work in Germany. In this way, even if the United States comes out of the economic crisis in the future, there will be no machinery, no scientists, engineers or even skilled workers. Under such circumstances, their industrial development will also be greatly restricted," said Imperial Trade Minister Hans.

Qin Tian looked deeply convinced that this coincided with his plan. In the United States now, the economy is in a severe recession, and people's lives are difficult. And this is also a good opportunity for Germany to wield a small hoe and go to the United States to poach people wantonly. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you don't know how long you will have to wait.

"This time, the Ministry of Trade will be responsible for the actions against the United States! We must use the smallest cost to evacuate the United States! Machinery, equipment, industrial raw materials, and talents are all we need! Can the empire's industry realize the second It will depend on this time!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hans nodded.

Since 1930, Germany has sent a large number of corporate procurement missions to the United States. These purchasing groups purchased all kinds of industrial machinery and equipment, industrial raw materials, etc. directly in the United States at extremely low prices, and then shipped them to Germany.

Even many merchant ships in the United States have begun to sell. Compared with before the economic crisis, the current price is only one-fifth or even lower than before. This made many shipping companies in Germany flock to the United States to buy those ships.

At the same time, various scientific research institutions in Germany, as well as many companies, have begun to recruit personnel in the United States. Especially those top scientists and engineers are the focus of recruitment. These are the most valuable talents. If they can be brought to Germany, it will greatly enhance Germany's scientific research strength. At the same time, it is a heavy blow to the scientific research strength of the United States. Under the ebb and flow, Germany's scientific research strength can naturally lead the United States by a large margin.

Many factories in Germany recruit skilled workers in large quantities in the United States. Despite the hardships of life, many skilled workers chose to go to Germany to work even though they had to leave the United States. After all, they have to live, to support their families, to survive. Even if Germany is their enemy, they don't care so much.

Under Germany's crazy bargain hunting, the industrial strength of the United States has been further weakened.
