Chapter 579: Prelude to War 2
"Grievance... haggard... be more angry, right... well... time to go."
Standing at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion, facing the Duke of Hornberg and the Baroness inside, the Li couple, who were holding the child, turned blue with anger, and finally left without saying a word.
"The intrigue of the royal family, the new super rich lost to the old aristocrats, and they were swept away..."
'Charlie Lee is cold in Spain, so what about the Marquis? '
‘Princess Adelaide looked haggard, she seemed to be neglected, her husband forced her way out! '
Shaking the newspaper in his hand, Li Zitao said with a smile, "It's really lively!"
"Still laughing, they are laughing at you." Mary said angrily.
Since returning to Beverly, relevant reports have appeared in the newspapers one after another, as well as photos of them being 'driven out' of the Duke's mansion.
"Of course you have to laugh, I was kicked out." Li Zitao sat beside her indifferently, and said calmly, "If I don't have these excuses, how should I make a move?"
Glancing at Elizabeth, who was sitting across from her, Li Zitao was embarrassed by the guilty look on her face. Didn't they see that this was planned by him?
"What do you want to do?" Mary asked with interest.
Of course she knew that Li Zitao had a plan, he made himself look pitiful in front of the Duke's mansion, but Mary couldn't wait for so long.
"If you want to make a person suffer, you have to take away what he values most, since he likes money so much..." Li Zitao shrugged sarcastically, and Li Zitao's meaning was obvious.
Since he likes money so much, let him try how it feels to have no money.
It just so happens that he is very interested in the industry under the Duke of Hornberg's name. Olive oil is a good thing, as well as the shipyard and steel energy under his name.
Isn't AD-B in a stalemate, every shareholder meeting has to discuss "expansion" or "stabilization"?
It's just because the major shareholders don't express their views, and the quarrel is like a joke.
Now Li Zitao said that AD-B can directly enter the Spanish market and directly defeat the local industry with technology and price.
Then kick them out.
Spain has always been a heavily agricultural country, and industries such as steel, shipbuilding, and automobiles are completely in a nest.
The glorious fleet of the year also followed the sunset of the Bourbon dynasty, and now it is just a half-baked.
On the first day AD-B announced the official establishment of the Spanish branch, Dagong called home.
Li Zitao only said that it was a normal business plan, and the Grand Duke also smiled and said, "That's good," and the two completed the exchange.
It is certain that the heart of a mother is not distressed when her daughter is bullied.
Just from the standpoint of the grand duke, she can only pretend not to know about many things, can't express her position, let alone intervene.
But Li Zitao is different now. He is the Marquess of the British Empire, and his property is in the United States. It can be said that he is completely free from the shackles of the European royal family.
Since you slapped me in the face, I should come back. Duke Hornberg and his baron mother should be proud enough these days.
The progress of AD-B entering the Spanish market was not very smooth. Some people sent a message telling them not to do so, after all, the decree in Spain changed rapidly.
Li Zitao didn't take this blatant threat seriously at all. If you dare to ban AD-B from entering the Spanish market, I dare not sell your agricultural products.
Corn, grapes, olive oil, citrus, these major agricultural products are exported to North and South America accounted for 80%.
Especially in the context of Washington's order to reduce agricultural land and maintain the price of agricultural products and the circulation of the international market.
This year, the agricultural subsidy received by Li's Real Estate alone is as high as 49.7 million US dollars. If Spain really bans foreign companies from entering, it seems that the tariffs on imported agricultural products will also be adjusted appropriately.
It shouldn't be too much to charge an additional 30 to 40 percent, right?
After repeating what Li Zitao said, the so-called warning disappeared instantly.
"Based on their current situation, they still want to fight a trade war and make his economy collapse in minutes." Li Zitao said arrogantly.
This is not what he said casually. Spain is now full of domineering swords. The Republican government headed by the president and the left-wing group formed by the People's Left-wing Alliance are contending with the National Army and the Falange right-wing group centered on Franco.
Although large-scale battles are restrained between the two sides, small-scale frictions have not been reduced.
It can be said that Spain is now a powder keg. At the same time, the situation in Italy is becoming more and more clear, but it is also becoming more and more tense.
The harm caused by the economic crisis has seriously affected the Italian national economy, and the whole country is on the verge of outbreak.
The government, for its part, has concluded that territorial expansion is a necessary solution to the pressure on the domestic economy.
The meeting of the League of Nations seemed to be peaceful. In fact, the Italian government had communicated with Britain and France several times, expressing its desire to annex Ethiopia.
None of these news can escape the eyes and ears of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the special guards around the world's dignitaries and rich people are their best eyeliner.
The prelude to World War II is about to kick off. Even knowing the future direction, there has never been a war in North America, but I still can't hide my nervousness.
For the laboratory, Li Zitao's attention has increased several times again.
In the past two months, he has frequently visited Skunk and Pioneer to check the progress of fighter planes, jet engines, off-road, armor, and transport trucks.
"Boss, the Ministry of Defense wants to hire me as a military adviser to the Ministry of Defense." At the SHIELD annual meeting at the end of October, Hans mentioned the Ministry of Defense's recruitment of him.
"Promise him, brother dog, it seems that you are going to choose a new house in Los Angeles." Li Zitao looked at Wang Dagou with a smile.
"The house on the Gold Coast has just been renovated...Okay!" Wang Dagou said with a helpless face that there is no problem.
I am used to living in Chicago. Despite what happened last time, Wang Dagou and Da Niu still choose the Gold Coast as their new home.
Now it seems that the house can only be put away and used as a holiday villa.
"Franco's National Army is in contact with Lincoln, and they want enough munitions to equip a country." George's tone was a little heavy, but he was a little excited.
In his opinion, the battlefield is the destination. With such a huge arms purchase, war is coming.
"Didn't the president of the republic government say anything?" Li Zitao hesitated whether to support Franco, a dictator who is good at Tai Chi.
Although Franco was very close to FXS, he was very firm on the issue of external expansion.
Insisting on not participating in future wars also shows that he really has no plans for foreign wars.
What Li Zitao considered was whether to bring Spain into the ranks of the Allies.
The current government of the Republic is pro-British, French, and American, but their enthusiasm for war is stronger than Franco's.
"Do you want to change history?" This is exactly what Li Zitao is struggling with. American Legends
