Chapter 0579: Prologue to World War II

"Grievances... Haggard... To be angry, right... Good... Time to go. ”

Standing at the door of the Duke's Palace, facing the Duke and Baroness of Hornberg in the house, the Li couple holding their children turned blue with anger, and finally left without saying a word.

'The intrigue of the royal family, the new super-rich are defeated by the old aristocrats, and they are swept away......

'Charlie Lee is cold in Spain, what about the Marquis?'

'Princess Adelaid looked haggard, suspected of being snubbed, and her husband was strong!'

Shaking the newspaper in his hand, Li Zitao said with a smile: "It's really lively!"

"Laugh, they're laughing at you. Mary said angrily.

Since returning to Beverly, there have been a steady stream of newspaper reports of them being 'kicked out' of the Duke's Palace.

"Of course I have to laugh, I was kicked out. Li Zitao sat beside her indifferently and said indifferently: "If there are no excuses, how can I make a move?"

glanced at Elizabeth who was sitting opposite, and the guilty look made Li Zitao embarrassed, didn't they see that this was planned by him?

"What do you want to do?" asked Mary with interest.

Of course, she knew that Li Zitao had a plan, and he specially made himself pretend to be pitiful in front of the Duke's Palace, but after waiting for so long, Mary couldn't wait.

"If you want to make a person miserable, you have to take away what he values the most, since he likes money so much..."Shrugged his shoulders sarcastically, Li Zitao's meaning was obvious.

Since he likes money so much, let him try what it feels like to have no money.

It just so happened that he was very interested in the Duke of Hornberg's property, olive oil was a good thing, as well as his shipyard and steel energy.

Isn't AD-B in a stalemate, where every shareholder meeting has to discuss 'expansion' or 'stability'?

It's just that because the major shareholders don't take a stand, the quarrel is like a joke.

Now Li Zitao said that AD-B can directly enter the Spanish market, directly crush the local industry with technology and price, and then sweep them away.

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 past, also with the sunset of the Bourbon dynasty, is now a half-hung person who is not up or down.

On the first day that AD-B announced the official establishment of its Spanish branch, the Grand Duke's phone call reached his 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.

Her own daughter was bullied, and the mother's heart was not distressed, that's for sure.

Just standing in the position of the Grand Duke, she can only pretend not to know about many things, and she can't express her position, let alone interfere.

But now Li Zitao is different, he is a marquis of the British Empire, and his property is in the United States, so it can be said that he is completely free from the shackles of European royal families.

Since you hit me in the face, then I should come back, and Duke Hornberg and his baron mother should be proud enough these days.

The entry of AD-B into the Spanish market has not been very smooth, and there have been rumors telling them not to do so, after all, Spanish decrees change very quickly.

This kind of naked threat, Li Zitao didn't take it seriously at all, if you dare to ban AD-B from entering the Spanish market, I will dare to make your agricultural products unsellable.

Corn, grapes, olive oil, citrus, these major agricultural exporters account for 8% of North and South America.

This is especially true in the context of Washington's order to reduce agricultural land and maintain the price of agricultural products and the circulation of agricultural products in the international market.

This year, the agricultural subsidy obtained by Lee's Real Estate alone is as high as 49.7 million US dollars, and if Spain really bans foreign companies from entering, it seems that tariffs on imported agricultural products will have to be adjusted appropriately.

Charging an additional thirty or forty percent shouldn't be too much, right?

According to Li Zitao's words, the so-called warning disappeared in an instant.

"With their current situation, they still want to fight a trade war and collapse his economy in minutes. Li Zitao said very arrogantly.

This is not just a casual remark, but the territory of Spain is now dominated by the sword, the army of the Republic headed by the president, the left-wing bloc formed by the People's Left Alliance, and the National Army and the right-wing bloc of the Falangist Party centered on Franco.

Although large-scale fighting between the two sides has been refrained, the small friction has not decreased.

It can be said that Spain is a powder keg now, and the situation in Italy is becoming clearer, but also more and more tense.

The damage caused by the economic crisis has severely affected the Italian national economy, and the whole country is on the verge of an outbreak.

For its part, the Government concluded that territorial expansion was necessary to alleviate the pressure on the domestic economy.

The League of Nations meeting seemed peaceful, but in fact the Italian government had communicated with Britain and France several times that they wanted to annex Ethiopia.

None of this news can escape the ears and eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the special guards around the dignitaries and rich people around the world are their best eyeliner.

The prelude to World War II is about to begin, and even if you know where the future will go, there has never been a war in North America, but you still can't hide your tension in your heart.

For the laboratory, Li Zitao's attention has increased several times again.

In the past two months, he has frequently visited Skunk and Vanguard to check the progress of warplanes, jet engines, off-road, armor, transport trucks, etc.

"Boss, the Ministry of Defense wants to hire me as a military adviser to the Department of Defense. At the annual meeting of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of October, Hans referred to the solicitation of him by the Ministry of Defense.

"Promise him, Brother Dog, it looks like you're going to pick 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 helplessly, no problem.

I'm used to living in Chicago, and although what happened last time, Wang Dagou and Da Niu still chose their new home on the Gold Coast.

Now it seems that the house can only be left for the first time and used as a holiday villa.

"Franco's National Army is in contact with Lincoln, and they want enough arms to equip a country. George's tone was a little heavy, but slightly excited.

In his opinion, the battlefield is the destination, and with such a huge arms purchase, war is coming.

"Didn't Mr. President of the Republican Government say it?" Li Zitao was a little hesitant whether to support Franco, a dictator who is good at Tai Chi.

Although Franco is very close to FXS, he is very resolute when it comes to external expansion.

His insistence on not participating in the future war also shows that he really has no plans for foreign wars.

And Li Zitao was thinking about whether to draw 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 even stronger than that of Franco.

"Do you want to change history?" this is exactly what Li Zitao is struggling with.
