Chapter 1390: Chapter 481: The Main Business of Breton Bank (Part 2)
The relationship between the United States and Spain is not good. By the end of the last century, Spain, the once mariti hegemon, was on the decline, while the United States was young and vigorous. In the 19th century, the idea of so-called “Manifest Destiny” expansionism erged in the US, deepening Aricans’ thirst for land.
Through annexation, purchase, and various other ans, by 1867, the territory of the United States had already reached over 9.2 million square kiloters.
As it beca more successful, the United States began eyeing colonies, but at that ti, it dared not challenge countries like Britain and France, so the declining Spain beca its target.
At that ti, Spain’s colonies were reduced to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines in Asia.
At this point, Spain’s colonies in the Caribbean, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, were located at Arica’s doorstep, held important strategic value, and were rich in natural resources, sothing the US had coveted, especially Cuba, for a long ti.
Under such circumstances, a war broke out between the United States and Spain, and naturally, the young and vibrant United States erged victorious, and Spain lost!
Under such circumstances, the relationship between the two countries would not be good.
So Donnie said, selling M4 tanks to Spain is sothing that the White House would not agree to.
“I know of your relationship with the White House, Mr. Block. If you want to do such things, can’t you convince the White House?” Miguel Rivera asked.
Donnie nodded and said, “I do not deny that I have so influence in the White House, but Mr. Rivera, you should know that in the United States, there are not only the Block Family but many forces, enough to ruin this business deal.
Moreover, I believe, and you should believe too, that as a company, we more than anyone wish to sell our products to every country in the world, because that’s how we can gain more wealth!”
Miguel Rivera agreed with Donnie’s statent, if his country had a military factory like Ares Military Industry, he would not allow it to sell M4 tanks to the United States either.
“Alright, then let’s talk about the AK47 issue first!”
Donnie nodded and started discussing the AK47 transaction with Miguel Rivera.
During this period, Donnie ntioned one thing, which was that this transaction’s cash would go through Breton Bank’s account.
Miguel Rivera was also aware that Donnie hadn’t given up on making him and Alfonso XIII place their funds in Breton Bank.
But thinking that it was just a normal business transaction, there was naturally no problem!
“Alright, Mr. Block, you should believe. I personally am very willing to maintain a friendly relationship with you, Mr. Block!”
Donnie laughed heartily and said, “I am aware of that, otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting here today!”
After happily conversing for a while, Donnie left Miguel Rivera’s villa and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

xico, xico City, Presidential Office.
Warren Wagner arrived here, and at this mont, Warren Wagner was earnestly introducing himself to Calles.
“Hello, Mr. President. I am Warren Wagner, the general manager of Breton Bank, and I’m very pleased that you could find ti in your busy schedule to et !”
Calles naturally knew why Warren Wagner ca. Since previously accepting Edson Araujo’s suggestion, Calles began arranging to transfer his deposits from Breton Bank little by little.
Now that Warren Wagner is here, it must be for this matter!
“Mr. Wagner, I admire your courage for daring to co to xico at this ti!”
Calles’s tone was not particularly friendly when facing Warren Wagner.
Warren Wagner could understand Calles’s attitude, after all, the opponent’s enemies are now close to being ousted with the support of his own boss. If he were Calles, his attitude might be even worse!
“I am the general manager of Breton Bank, a businessman, and I believe that soone as important as Mr. President can certainly distinguish between public matters and personal matters!”
Calles waved his hand sowhat impatiently and said: “Alright, you don’t need to say those things, I understand your aning, but I can tell you that I will not change my decision. Since you are here now, I can formally notify you. I hope your bank can transfer all the funds from my account in one go next.”
Warren Wagner nodded and said: “Of course, as long as Mr. President has truly decided, I can telegraph my colleagues at Breton Bank after leaving your place, instructing them to transfer all your funds in Breton Bank to the bank account you specify according to your requirents!”
Calles was slightly stunned, as he could be certain that Warren Wagner ca here to persuade him not to move the funds from Breton Bank.
But the other’s attitude now…
A curious Calles couldn’t help but ask: “Aren’t you here to persuade ?”
“Of course I ca to persuade Mr. President, but the principle of Breton Bank is to consider everything from the perspective of our custors. Since Mr. President wants to transfer the funds from our bank, naturally we also need to serve Mr. President.”
At this point, Warren Wagner paused, then continued: “I know Mr. President wants to transfer the funds due to the current relationship between you and our boss, which led to this decision.
But I want to remind Mr. President that Breton Bank, as one of the core enterprises of the Venus Consortium, would not ruin its reputation over such matters.
Before I ca, our boss specially wrote a telegram, in which the boss personally instructed to ensure that we make the most advantageous choice for you, Mr. President!”
Calles chuckled and said: “Donnie Block is worried that if he does sothing, it might threaten Breton Bank’s reputation!”
“Mr. President sees it clearly!” Warren Wagner smiled and continued: “But our boss also instructed to ask Mr. President one question, which is if the governnt forces of xico eventually do lose to Aguirre and Escovar’s rebels, then which country would Mr. President go to in the future?”
Upon hearing Warren Wagner’s question, Calles’s expression suddenly changed.
This was sothing Calles had been pondering lately. Aguirre and Escovar’s rebels were getting stronger, while the governnt forces were continuously defeated.
Under such circumstances, Calles could not avoid considering these matters.
Europe and Asia are too chaotic, South Arica, and Africa too poor, the places he could choose from were not many, and in this situation, the United States had naturally beco his first choice!
Seeing Calles’s expression, Warren Wagner continued with a smile: “Mr. President, if by any chance such a situation really occurs, and at that ti, you are no longer in a partnership with our Breton Bank, then losing entire xico, you may beco our enemy.
Do you think, under such circumstances, you could still withstand our attacks?”
Calles abruptly stood up, slamming a palm on the table with such force that his guards rushed in with guns drawn.
“Warren Wagner, do you know that by saying this, I could directly execute you?”
Under the muzzle of the gun, Warren Wagner was not flustered; he rely said calmly: “I naturally believe, however, Mr. President, I can clearly tell you that when I ca into your room today, I had already considered all possible consequences.
But, Mr. President, can you bear such consequences?”
At this point, Calles was almost exploding with anger, but the last bit of rationality allowed Calles to calm down.
At this mont, anger could not solve any problems!
