After the meeting, the other shareholders rushed out, leaving only Li Zitao and Watson sitting in place and not moving.

In the end, half of the items were approved at the meeting, and as for who stayed and who was passed, this right was returned to Li Zitao.

"Charlie, I hope our goal is the same. There was silence in the conference room, and Watson stood up from his seat.

"Of course, we're all here for a brighter future for IBM, but in different ways. Li Zitao smiled and nodded in agreement.

"That's good... We'll open the tender for new labs, and I don't think you mind. The proposal for the new lab was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors after discussion.

This was originally part of the VAM agreement, and Li Zitao firmly stuck this point with the terms of the agreement, the environment in Santa Barbara is better, and it is difficult to complete without the assistance of Skunk, so that Watson and others could not refuse at all.

It sounds like someone who makes cards, counts machines, and what makes airplanes, but there are a lot in common.

Especially in the transfer of mechanical to electronic devices, Skunk can provide IBM with a lot of experience and experimental data.

Many times, things that seem different often often make an extraordinary difference.

Intel's-IBM, the new laboratory was officially approved, and then IBM headquarters will bid for external bidding to see who can win the bottom of the construction project.

As for why it's called Intel's, Li Zitao's answer is: I like it.

Such a straightforward and capricious answer, people are speechless, it's just a simple like, what's the problem?

"Boss, the project in the lab, what should I do?" Of the 13 projects, only 7 were able to pass, which made Tia worry for the boss.

"Hehe, why worry, our purpose has been achieved. Li Zitao smiled lightly, looking at the matchbox-like barn in the distance, his eyes were full of irony.

Soon rumors began to circulate within the company about what was happening in the boardroom.

The chairman, Mr. Watson, only agreed to approve two project slots, and it was the newcomer Charlie Lee who challenged the chairman and forced the pressure to secure seven places for them.

While there are other versions that are not quite the same, the key points are all the same.

Mr. Charlie Lee resisted the pressure of the board of directors to win 7 free projects for them, and said that he wanted the right to support these projects and not allow anyone to destroy them.

Africa, North Atlantic.

A freighter is moored in the sea not far from Agadir, Mexico, as two fishing boats slowly approach the majestic freighter.

A rope was thrown down, and soon men in dark green clothes landed down the ropes, carrying their backpacks.

Everyone was headfirst up, sliding down the hull of the ship when they were dropping, and they didn't have the cool tricks they did on TV.

The so-called head-down rope drop is completely for the purpose of rendering the effect, and no one will use it in actual combat, especially in the case of carrying weights, the head down will only die faster, and it has no other effect.

The fighters who initially landed on the fishing boat left their weapons still on board, jumped into the water with their backpacks, and waited with one hand on the boat.

Soon the fishing boat was full of hands, and the boat was full of people, slowly approaching the shore of Agadir.

By this time it was getting dark, and the shore was full of fishing boats that looked like they, and there was no one to be seen except for a few that were dimly lit.

The fishing boats gradually sailed into the many black canopy boats, and they could no longer distinguish each other.

The people who lurked beside the boat and on the boat disappeared under the cover of night, and only the footprints of the sand recorded their appearance, but they were also soon obscured by the waves and strong winds.

The Strait of Gibraltar is now back under the control of the Republic.

At the beginning of the rebellion, although the Republic was taken by surprise, about 80 percent of the army was involved in the rebellion.

However, the air and navy remained loyal to the government of the Republic, which soon allowed them to regain control of the Strait of Gibraltar and cut off the rebels.

The Moroccan rebels were unable to return to the country, and the rebels were soon surrounded by recruits recruited by the Republic, and the situation began to turn against the rebels.

In the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, rebellions in large cities such as Malaga and Seville have been completely crushed and suppressed.

But there were rebels roaming outside the city, and the navy blockaded the Strait of Gibraltar, leaving the rebels without a source of life.

On land, the Air Force assisted the Army of the Republic in pursuing and encircling the rebels, and for a time the rebels in Spain were in a precarious situation.

It was at this time that even worse news came, Sanhuljo, who was really in control of the rebellion, was accidentally killed in a plane crash on the way back from Portugal.

This leader brokered the support of Germany and Italy, but before he could enjoy the results, he followed the crashed plane to heaven.

As his deputy, Franco, who held an important position in the rebels, immediately took over all command.

And his performance was even more impressive, communicating with Berlin and Rome as quickly as possible, urging Germany and Italy to take aid and directly intervene in the Spanish Civil War.

Neither the German dwarfs nor the Italian Mussolini were willing to sit idly by and watch the rebels now belonging to Franco be defeated.

Spain at the western end of Europe was strategically important, with its strategic access from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea and its border with Germany's old enemy, France.

A victory for the FXS regime in Spain would greatly enhance the strategic advantage of the FXS countries in Europe and be able to contain Western democracies such as France.

For the Italian FXS, their stated goal is to establish hegemony in the Mediterranean region, and the appearance of the rebels who are also part of the FXS is a godsend for him.

The two quickly communicated and decided to join forces to intervene in the Spanish Civil War and aid Franco's FXS rebel forces.

"Now Spain is the most real war school, I want you to record everything that happened on the battlefield in your mind, and bring it back safely to teach more people, long live FXS. "The dwarf is in the military airfield to encourage the soldiers who are about to go on the battle.

This direct involvement in the Spanish Civil War not only allowed him to test the new German weapons, but also allowed his officers to gain valuable experience.

At the beginning of the month, 30 German Juncker transport planes landed at Spanish Moroccan airports, followed by 20 transport planes sent by Mussolini.

At the same time, on the sea, the transport ships sent by the Germans were approaching Spanish Morocco.

Loopholes began to appear in the blockaded Gibraltar, and with the current naval strength of Spain, it was impossible to carry out a complete blockade, and they could only constantly patrol the sea.

But even if the transport ships were found, most of the navy would just shoot and pretend to let them hit the German ships, and the government of the Republic was still hesitating.

By this time, President Manuel had some illusions that Germany and Italy would be able to negotiate to abandon their intervention in the civil war.
