Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 77 Roaring Age
In October, George came to the peninsula through the portkey.

Accompanied by 33 prepared passengers and escorts, the cruise started from Syria, passed through the Suez Canal, passed through Yemen, and finally landed at the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab River.It is worth mentioning that when the British granted the peninsula, they also included the land east of the Suez Canal as part of the Arabian Peninsula.

During the journey, George communicated with these congressmen about the construction of the entire peninsula.

George told the lawmakers: "First select a place to be the administrative center and build an administrative building. Then all departments must be fully equipped."

"You also need to have your own army and base. It is best to establish military bases in the north and south. The base must have a seaport and an ultra-long airstrip. You can even build two small cities around these two bases. After all, this is The two bases include sea, land and air, and the area will definitely not be small. Therefore, the supporting equipment and personnel must also be able to keep up."

“The peninsula’s economy focuses on the development of oil and energy, gaming and tourism, and financial services.”

"The financial services industry has no foreign exchange restrictions and no direct taxes." Here, George is telling these MPs the economic model of Cayman in the future.

Although the congressmen didn't know what George was talking about, they honestly took out their banknotes and recorded in detail what George said.

"Arrange to build thermal power plants around the city, power plants that burn natural gas or oil."

"Transportation throughout the peninsula must be well planned, and land transportation in addition to sea transportation must be established. For example, trains."

"The government, economy, culture, law, etc. below must be unified. You are all good at this area, so I leave it to you."

As soon as George finished speaking, a member of Parliament raised his hand and asked: "Your Majesty the Governor, although we don't quite understand some of what you just said, we still understand the general meaning. But there are some requests that we may not be able to complete! Please forgive me. !”

"Oh, tell me what you can't finish?" George did not blame them, but directly asked them to say it.

The person who just spoke glanced at the other people around him, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty the Governor, first of all, build a military base, transportation, cities, etc. according to your requirements. These require too much money. We ..." His voice trailed off as he spoke.

"Any more? It doesn't matter, continue." George said.

"Also, you said that to establish a petroleum energy company, you also need to build oil or natural gas power plants. Although some natural gas has been discovered throughout the peninsula, it may not be suitable to build such a large one."

"Haha, okay, I will solve the problems you are talking about here. You don't need to worry about it for the time being. Regarding urban construction, transportation planning, and population migration, you first make a plan. Make it practical and feasible. . The rest, energy matters, will be done by professionals.”

Time passed by, and on November 11, in the holy city of Jerusalem, 1 members of Congress led their families to take turns swearing allegiance to George under the "Course of Loyalty."George officially ascended the throne as governor.

After the dinner, George returned to the room alone. Half a year later, the vegetables planted earlier were already mature.Through comparison, the vegetables in the space have not changed in terms of growth time, and the taste of the vegetables in the space is obviously better.Moreover, through animal comparisons, rabbits fed space vegetables are significantly healthier than ordinary rabbits.This may be related to the water quality in the space.

The area in the space is not as large as the storage space before. It is slowly growing every day. George has also tried to use the "Traceless Stretch Spell" to expand the space in the Chaos Bead.Unfortunately, the "Traceless Stretch Spell" doesn't work at all after being cast.It's like casting it into the air.

Moreover, the energy slowly absorbed from the unknown space is no longer dissipated.In other words, the energy in George's body can no longer grow automatically and slowly.This doesn't matter, except that now after George gets up every morning, he will perform energy operation for an hour.After half a year of energy accumulation, the energy absorbed by the Chaos Bead from the unknown space is like a chaotic cloud, floating at the top of the space.

Following George's thought, these energies instantly dissipated throughout the space.In George's perception, the entire space is slowly getting bigger.According to measurements, the radius of the space expanded outward by 0.5 meters.George tested it again in real space, and the teleportation distance also increased by 0.5 meters.

In other words, it takes one year of energy accumulation to expand one meter.If you use this energy accumulated for a year to extract items from the "Three Thousand Worlds", you may get a very good item.

George estimated that it would be too difficult to restore or even upgrade the space in the Chaos Bead by accumulating energy.Thinking of the role that the Universe Rubik's Cube played in space before, maybe we should start from this aspect.

Time passed by in a hurry, and it came to 1929 in a blink of an eye. George's capital affairs were quite busy in the past few years, and George could not take it lightly at this time.

The two American presidents Harding and Coolidge in the 20s completely changed the pace of life of the American public.They replaced aggressiveness with restraint and noise with silence.Both men were committed to keeping the federal government small.Under the guidance of the two, Americans lived a relatively peaceful life, and they greatly reserved the power of the president.They proposed tax reduction policies and controlled the national fiscal deficit.Their behavior is actually equivalent to responding to all changes by remaining unchanged, a bit like the ancient Chinese teachings of Huang and Lao, which governs by doing nothing.Both believe that enterprises are the engine of social progress and that the government does not have this function.

President Harding called on American businesses to rediscover their heroic glory days, when entrepreneurs used entrepreneurial spirit to create large enterprises with brilliant ideas, and heroic figures created steel without interference from the government. giant horse and flying machinery.

From 1921 to 1929, U.S. GDP continued to grow at an annual rate of 5%, the best performance ever recorded by any developed country in the world. In the 20s, there were three themes in American society.

The first theme is the rapid increase in productivity, especially in the first 5 years.After the First World War, although the public was dissatisfied with the current social situation, industrial unions were silent, and the inflation rate during this period was zero. Enterprises made full use of the progress in productivity during this period and converted the vast majority of the incremental production capacity into became corporate profits.In the late 20s, the proportion of U.S. manufacturing in global manufacturing increased from 1914% in 36 to 42%.

The second theme is the modernization of business, brought about by the rise of cities and the expansion of the service industry.The number of Americans working in the service industry exceeds the number working in agriculture, and many new occupations have emerged, such as human resources managers, and the number of teachers has also grown.The number of urban residents also exceeds the number of rural residents.

The third theme is that during the laissez-faire period, many of the great inventions created by Americans were popularized and spread among the people in the 20s, such as electricity, automobiles, airplanes, wireless communications, etc., as well as joint-stock companies. form of enterprise.It is an era of increasing wealth for the entire public, and it is also an era of fierce competition in the market.Any ordinary person can acquire things that were previously considered luxuries, or acquire things that did not exist just a few years ago.The suburbs of cities and towns continue to expand in size.Individual household houses are connected to the urban power grid and urban tap water supply network.

During this period, in addition to the wave of democratization, the United States formed a unified national market.

This is an era full of technological miracles, manufacturing progress, common prosperity and general social optimism. It looks so good, but in this era, dangerous signals have begun to hide.

The first is consumer debt.At that time, the debt of American households continued to rise, from US$2017 in 1919 to US$4200 in 1929 based on the purchasing power of US dollars in 21600. People owed the highest debt when purchasing real estate.The second is the populist trend that puts the local needs of the United States first.A series of laws restricting immigration enacted in this era made it impossible to obtain the input of cheap labor as it had historically.

In the 1900 years from 1929 to 30, American society enjoyed the benefits of creative destruction. For seven years, it enjoyed almost uninterrupted economic growth and accumulated huge social wealth. By 7, 1929 million households American households, or 300 in 10 households, invest in stocks.Its disastrous consequences will eventually occur.

Although many insightful people have criticized these issues, this cannot change the social atmosphere of the United States throughout the 20s.Later, American historians directly called this period the "Roaring 20s."
