Chapter 1376: Chapter 474: As Long as There Are Profits, Even Satan Can Be a Partner
Escovar didn’t answer Aguirre’s words, but instead asked his deputy: "Do you know how he died?"
"He was shot dead by his assistant, Hector Moreno. Hector Moreno, finding himself unable to escape, shot himself!"
The deputy answered.
Escovar looked at Aguirre, his eyes revealing the same fear, knowing Hector Moreno’s loyalty to Monroe.
"If Donnie could make Hector Moreno kill Monroe, then can he..."
At this moment, Escovar immediately looked at his deputy.
The deputy hurriedly said: "General, my loyalty to you is as evident as the sun and moon."
Escovar suddenly laughed, and said: "Of course, I believe you in this!"
Then Escovar waved his hand, allowing others in the room to leave.
"We really underestimated Donnie Block!"
Escovar couldn’t help but say to Aguirre.
Aguirre said: "Donnie Block is too bold. Doesn’t he worry that doing this will condemn him in the international community?"
Escovar said: "Did you see Calles publicize the reason for Monroe’s death?"
Aguirre instantly understood the meaning.
Escovar continued: "Donnie Block is walking a tightrope. If in the end, Calles gets defeated by us, doesn’t he fear that Calles will fight to the death then?"
Right now, Calles hasn’t announced Monroe’s cause of death because Calles believes his army can defeat Aguirre and Escovar, so he is deterred.
But if he is truly defeated in the end, then Calles’s deterrence will naturally vanish by then.
Aguirre pondered for a long time but couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it.
Finally asked, "So do you think Donnie would pin this matter on us?"
Escovar shook his head: "I don’t know, all I know now is that Donnie Block is really crazy. If it weren’t for the great wealth he created, I’d even suspect if he’s a madman!"
Aguirre agreed with Escovar’s analysis, and at this time he even started to worry about his cooperation with Donnie.
"There’s no turning back now, we can’t do without Donnie anymore!"
Escovar said helplessly.
At this time, they can’t do without Donnie’s support at all.
Aguirre also nodded helplessly, indeed it’s true!
At this moment, Escovar’s deputy walked in again.
"General, someone has come from outside, claiming to be Donnie Block’s guard captain, Levin Peters!"
Escovar nodded: "Let him in!"
"Yes!"
It didn’t take long before Levin Peters appeared in front of Aguirre and Escovar, if Hector Moreno were alive, he would surely recognize Levin Peters as the black-clad man who threatened him that night.
"Generals, my boss sent me to discuss some cooperation with you two!"
Levin Peters sat in front of Aguirre and Escovar, smiling as he spoke.
"I wonder what business Mr. Block wants to do with us?"
Escovar asked.
Levin Peters said: "Our boss believes that although the two generals have received many allies and support from the Ares Arsenal in weapons, compared to Calles’s army, there is still a gap, so I brought some videos of our new weapons developed by Ares Arsenal for the two generals to see!"
Escovar was momentarily stunned, then looked at his adjutant: "Go fetch a set of playback equipment!"
"Yes!"
The adjutant quickly went about the task.
Escovar asked Levin Peters: "Mr. Peters, how does Mr. Donnie Block intend to do business?"
Levin Peters smiled: "It’s simple, besides the conditions our boss previously discussed with the two generals, he also wants to share the business of Calles and Monroe with the two generals!"
If Aguirre and Escovar’s rebellion succeeds, then naturally Mexico will usher in a major reform. The hidden businesses of Calles, Monroe, and others in Mexico will naturally be liquidated.
Now, Donnie is eyeing these businesses.
"Additionally, our boss also said he hopes Venus Bank can take over all the businesses of the Mexican Bank!"
The Mexican Bank was founded in 1925 and is equivalent to the central bank of Mexico!
"That’s impossible!"
Escovar opposed Donnie’s cooperation terms at once, agreeing to these terms would mean their rebellion was essentially working for Donnie!
Facing Escovar’s opposition, Levin Peters’s expression remained unchanged, still wearing a smile: "Of course, if the two generals don’t agree, you can also purchase our weapons with cash!"
Escovar was now amazed at Donnie’s greed, but in his heart there was still some curiosity about the new weapons Donnie had brought them.
Just at this time, the deputy came with the playback equipment to their office, drawing the curtains and turning off the lights, they began to watch the video Levin Peters brought.
In the black-and-white footage, a steel tank appeared, driving down the road.
Aguirre and Escovar, as generals of Mexico, were naturally not unfamiliar with tanks, but they could both be sure they had never seen a tank of this design.
Accompanied by the cannon firing from the tank’s barrel, a distant hill instantly leveled!
Aguirre and Escovar showed shocked expressions, not only was the design of this tank something they had never seen, but the power was also something they hadn’t seen either. More importantly, as the tank continued to bombard, they found its speed was also something unfamiliar to them.
"So, this is newly developed ordnance from the Ares Arsenal?"
Escovar looked at the tank on the screen, his eyes flashing with intensity. At this time, Escovar dared to assert that if their army could be equipped with such weapons, then they could minimize the disparity with Calles’s government troops.
Levin Peters laughed and said: "That’s right, this tank from our Ares Military Industry has already been tested in real combat!"
Saying this, Levin Peters took out a stack of documents from the bag he brought, handed them to Aguirre and Escovar, and continued: "These are all the parameters of this tank, the two generals can take a look!"
Aguirre and Escovar greedily looked at the tank parameters in their hands.
From time to time, they would glance at each other, seeing delight in the other’s eyes.
"I wonder how much one of these tanks costs?"
Aguirre couldn’t help but ask Levin Peters.
Escovar also looked excitedly at Levin Peters.
"Our boss said, given that we are currently allies, such tanks, each costs 500,000 US Dollars!"
Aguirre and Escovar again showed shocked expressions, each one costing 500,000 US Dollars?
This price was indeed not something they could afford.
As for this price, Donnie wasn’t even offering a friendly price, with the tank’s manufacturing cost being 330,000 US Dollars. Donnie was only making 170,000 US Dollars, and that included shipping fees!
"If we don’t buy these tanks, would Mr. Block do business with Calles?"
Escovar suddenly asked Levin Peters.
This caught Aguirre off guard, they were currently allies with Donnie Block, even if their business didn’t happen, Donnie shouldn’t be doing business with Calles, right?
Aguirre looked at Levin Peters, searching with his eyes for confirmation, "You wouldn’t actually be this shameless, would you?"
Levin Peters smiled: "Our boss said, if there’s a profit to be made, even doing business with Satan is acceptable!"
Aguirre: "..."
Escovar: "..."
