Chapter 1361: Chapter 467: Inciting Rebellion
Donnie, as Monroe mentioned, did leave Mexican soil, but he never left Mexico.
Three days later, on a luxurious yacht, Donnie hosted two men clad in Mexican general uniforms.
They were Jesus Aguirre and Gonzalo Escovar.
Both were powerful generals in Mexico, the kind with troops and firearms.
They were akin to local warlords.
However, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that, barring any accidents, the two of them would initiate a rebellion next year… Well, in present-day Mexico, rebellions were commonplace.
Back then, they captured important economic and administrative centers like Veracruz, Cordoba, Jalapa, Torreon, Monterrey, and Chihuahua.
At that time, it was touted as the ’44 Generals’ uprising, but in reality, the so-called 44 generals were just a motley crew, with the main force led by the armies of Jesus Aguirre and Gonzalo Escovar.
Under such circumstances, Calles was once again appointed as Commander-in-Chief and quelled the rebellion.
“Generals, welcome to your arrival!”
Donnie stood up to greet the two formidable-looking generals.
“Hello, Mr. Block!” boomed Aguirre.
“Hello, Mr. Block, very happy to meet you!” Escovar appeared much warmer.
Donnie had them seated on the sofa and then directly delivered a shocking piece of news: “Gentlemen, I’ve heard you’re contacting some generals in Veracruz intending to spark a war against Mexico?”
As soon as they sat down, both men stood up immediately, and their subordinates rushed in at once.
Though they came to see Donnie secretly, it didn’t mean they’d come alone, bringing their men along was a necessary procedure.
Donnie wasn’t concerned with their subordinates; he had invited Aguirre and Escovar to cooperate, not to wage war.
“Gentlemen, no need to be so tense, I just wish to sell you some intelligence, there’s no need for all this!”
Donnie said with a smile.
Escovar gestured for his men to leave.
Before coming to see Donnie, the two had communicated privately.
Firstly, they dismissed the notion that Donnie wanted to deal with them, after all, Donnie was outwardly just a businessman, inviting people mainly to do business.
Secondly, even if Donnie hadn’t invited them, they would find a way to meet with him.
Last year’s rebellion in Mexico had demonstrated the power of the AK47 to them.
If they were to start a rebellion, they had to find ways to enhance their armament, and the AK47 was the best weapon at the moment; they hoped to purchase a batch of arms from Ares Military Industry.
Lastly, they were also aware of the conflict between Donnie and Monroe.
“I don’t know where Mr. Block heard this news, but I must tell you, Mr. Block, your information is not accurate!”
Escovar said with a smile.
Donnie leaned back on the sofa, his face showing a calm expression, “General Escovar, I invited you here today intending to cooperate, if you still harbor distrust, then there’s nothing more to discuss!”
Escovar frowning slightly, as a warlord, though relatively calm compared to Aguirre, had yet to change his tyrannical habits from his region, and now hearing Donnie’s words made him somewhat displeased.
Escovar could still tolerate it, but Aguirre could not.
“Block, this is Mexico, I don’t appreciate your attitude!”
Donnie chuckled lightly, “Don’t like it? And what can you do about it?”
Aguirre snorted coldly, “You, an American big shot, we naturally can’t do anything to you, at most, we’ll announce that you’re inciting us to rebel against our country and have my men expel you!”
“Your men?” Donnie maintained his smile, “Why don’t you let your men in now and see?”
Aguirre felt as if he had heard a joke, his men had just come in, and now Donnie dared to let his men in.
Still, the straightforward Aguirre didn’t think much and ordered his men to come in.
The result was that within two or three minutes, his men couldn’t enter!
Aguirre, furious, stormed out of the cabin, only to see his and Escovar’s men being controlled by Donnie’s men with AK47s, all crouched with their heads down on the deck.
“Donnie Block, what is the meaning of this?”
Aguirre turned to Donnie, who had followed him out, asking.
Donnie responded with a chuckle, “It means nothing, just that I don’t like threats to my safety when I’m talking to someone.”
Escovar immediately restrained the ready-to-anger Aguirre, and once he calmed him, Escovar said to Donnie, “Mr. Block, we came here hoping to establish a friendship between both parties, but if this is your attitude, Mr. Block, then we’ll have to take our leave!”
After his statement, Escovar and Aguirre prepared to leave.
Only to hear Donnie’s voice behind them.
“As far as I know, Calles has received a donation of over a million bullets from Ares Arsenal, and moreover, Calles has decided to recommend Secretary of the Interior Emilio Portes Gil as the interim President.”
