The next day!
Donnie boarded a ship in Los Angeles, heading to xico!
The last ti Donnie ca to xico, it directly led to a coup in xico.
It directly caused the downfall of Plutarco Elias Calles.
Now Calles is living quite luxuriously in Atlantic City.
He hosts banquets at his estate every day, attended by the elites of Atlantic City.
Even Coolidge and Hoover have been guests at his banquets.
Donnie traveled smoothly to xico City, where he t Aguirre and Escovar.
Aguirre and Escovar’s behavior was actually a bit surprising to Donnie.
In Donnie’s view, the two were common rebels, sharing hardships together.
After the successful rebellion, they beca the dictators of xico.
This is about sharing wealth and power.
Everyone knows that sharing hardships is easy, but sharing wealth is rather difficult.
However, these two have a clear division of labor; after the successful rebellion, Aguirre beca the President of xico.
When Aguirre’s term ends, Escovar will beco the President of xico.
The two alternated in power, cooperating very well.
"Mr. Block, you’ve finally arrived, Aguirre and I received your telegram and have been waiting for you!"
Currently, Escovar is the President of xico.
Aguirre holds the position of Secretary of the Treasury while also serving as Secretary of the War Departnt.
"I’ve wanted to visit you both for a long ti, but you should know, many things have been happening in the United States lately, so I’ve been delayed until now."
Donnie shook hands and embraced them, maintaining close relations.
This is not without reason, as Donnie is well-versed in the art of controlling people.
After Aguirre and Escovar successfully rebelled,
Donnie engaged in two major businesses with xico.
First: Donnie has monopolized xico’s tequila.
Second: The Caesars Palace built in xico City!
In these two businesses, Donnie gave them sufficient benefits without any harsh conditions.
Through these two ventures, their accounts at Breton Bank saw millions of US Dollars in deposits every year!
Donnie understands that just offering benefits isn’t enough; after all, too many incentives can spark greed.
Therefore, Donnie also exercises deterrence!
The United States Navy fleet, supported by Donnie’s funds, makes an annual circle around xico.
Of course, there are other reasons too.
For example, the treatnt of Calles in Atlantic City!
Calles was ousted in xico because he rejected collaboration with Donnie years ago.
Yet even in this situation, after Calles was deposed, he was still able to live a luxurious life in Atlantic City.
Sitting in Escovar’s presidential office.
Donnie directly asked, "Gentlen, you have already received my telegram, and you should have your own stance on the two silver mines, right?"
Before coming to xico, Donnie had already sent them a telegram, informing them about the Sausito and Fresnillo silver mines.
Aguirre glanced at Escovar and then laughed loudly, saying, "Mr. Block, you’ve just arrived in xico City, you should rest first.
By the way, since the opening of Caesars Palace in xico City, you haven’t visited yet, let personally take you to see it, how about that?"
At this mont, Aguirre had already shed much of his warlord deanor, appearing more like a politician!
Donnie sat there, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Gentlen, there’s no need for these formalities between us. I believe that before I arrived, you already discussed this matter.
Just give a definite answer now."
Seeing that Donnie was growing angry, Escovar quickly stood up, smiling, and said.
"Mr. Block, please don’t misunderstand, you are the most honest businessman we have ever t, and we are very willing to deepen cooperation with you.
But there are so things you might not know, just before you ca, Mr. Charles from the United Kingdom also arrived, speaking about these two silver mines!"
Joe Charles, an old British noble, and not a declining one, has enormous influence in the British House of Lords.
He is also an important representative of British nobility in the Fresnillo mining sector!
"Mr. Block, the ’Silver Purchase Act’ of the United States has now spread in Europe, according to Mr. Charles, at the upcoming World Economic and Monetary Conference, the proposal to raise silver prices is inevitable.
More importantly, Charles and his associates got word from soone that Mr. Block, you intend to enter the mining sector in xico.
He ca this ti with British protests.
Aguirre just didn’t tell you about this, he was rely thinking of resolving it first and then discussing specific cooperation matters with you!"
Escovar explained his thoughts to Donnie.
Firstly, Aguirre and Escovar certainly prefer to cooperate with Donnie.
After all, their business with Donnie seems very genuine to them, unlike those Europeans and Aricans who collaborated with Calles, who were extrely deceitful.
Secondly, they also have fears regarding the United Kingdom.
Even though the British Empire is declining, the United Kingdom remains one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Sothing xico cannot resist!
So they cannot ignore the British protest in this matter.
Donnie sat back on the sofa, no longer showing dissatisfaction.
"Gentlen, then can I understand that you prefer to collaborate with , but are now caught in a dilemma due to Charles’ appearance and the British protest?"
Saying this, Donnie paused and continued, "I need to know your most genuine thoughts because it affects the possibility of continuing our future cooperation.
As I personally detest betrayal!"
Aguirre and Escovar’s expressions turned slightly unpleasant, yet they were helpless.
Because Donnie’s words were so direct, they had no option but to face the issue head-on.
In truth, they did want to continue cooperating with Donnie.
But they were equally unwilling to offend the British.
According to their plan, they still hoped Donnie could persuade Charles and the British nobles to voluntarily withdraw.
Even though this possibility is slim, if you, Donnie, couldn’t persuade them to withdraw, then it’s not our fault.
Thus, Aguirre and Escovar’s simple strategy was to deepen cooperation with Donnie Bruck, but in respect to the silver mines, whether it’s with Donnie Bruck or the British nobility,
their earnings were about the sa, so they didn’t want to alter the status quo.
If Donnie could persuade Charles and the others to back out, they would cooperate with Donnie; if not, they’d continue collaborating with Charles and the others.
To keep themselves invincible!
But now, Donnie had clarified the entire situation, forcing them to choose sides.
Thus, they were not happy.
Yet Donnie’s strength is evident!
After Aguirre and Escovar ca to power, xico didn’t just beco peaceful.
They enjoyed prosperity together, but what about the other generals who rebelled with them?
And the occasional uprisings within xico?
These situations made them very cautious because even now.
Donnie could still use the sa tactics he used against Calles, supporting new leaders to rise once again.
By then, they would rely be rich n with nothing but wealth left!
They’d have to flee to Atlantic City to live as wealthy gentlen!
But having tasted the peak of power, how could they easily relinquish the power in their hands?
"Of course, we would much prefer to collaborate with you, Mr. Block, after all, you are our closest partner!"
Escovar could only express helplessly to Donnie.
