America 1919

Chapter 1614 - 593: Game with the Duke of Charles (Part 2)

Things in London are obviously fake.

But that doesn’t stop Joe Charles from reclaiming his chips!

Even though Joe Charles understands that what Donnie just said is a reminder that in Mexico, he and those behind him are no match for him!

1.5 million US Dollars, this is cash, not something else.

"Haha, Mr. Block, you are too kind!"

After reclaiming his chips, Joe Charles continued.

"I heard Mr. Block came to Mexico City, and I wanted to have a conversation with you, Mr. Block. Do you have time now?"

Now, Joe Charles appears very courteous, with no trace of the haughtiness of old money on his face.

Donnie smiled and said, "Is that so, Mr. Charles should have given me a call!"

The goodwill that had arisen in Joe Charles’s heart dissipated; didn’t he make the call?

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

Donnie had a Bunny Girl arrange a meeting room for them.

Donnie and Joe Charles went to the meeting room.

"Gambling against Donnie Block in Donnie Block’s casino..." Doniel Barrett watched the two leave, shaking his head with silent criticism.

In the meeting room!

Donnie and Joe Charles sat opposite each other.

Both understood that there was only one thing to negotiate this time!

The silver mines in Mexico!

Donnie wants to take the Sausito and Fresnillo silver mines in Mexico from Joe Charles and his people.

This is something the British aristocrats, led by Joe Charles, will certainly not agree to.

"Mr. Block, I know what you’re thinking, but it’s impossible. Your American Silver Group can use your votes to pressure the President to sign the ’Silver Purchase Act’ for the sake of silver.

Do you think I and those behind me that for the sake of silver, we cannot influence the British government to do something?"

Interest!

The real key point.

As Joe Charles said, the American Silver Group has political energy, and the British aristocrats also have their political power.

Donnie did not deny Joe Charles’s words!

"I believe what you said, Duke of Charles, I also believe that you and those you represent have the energy to make the UK make some decisions.

But it’s useless, the reason I’m willing to sit here today and discuss this with you, Duke of Charles, instead of dealing with it directly, is for this reason.

But this is the biggest concession I can make because of your background.

The UK doesn’t have the courage to wage war against a country for your interests. As long as you don’t go to war, you can’t beat me in Mexico.

Even if you go to war, you still can’t beat me!"

Joe Charles’s face changed slightly, he didn’t like Donnie’s confidence.

"Mr. Block, are you so certain?"

Donnie chuckled and said, "Duke Charles, there are only you and me in this room, no need to probe anymore.

If the UK really has that energy, we wouldn’t be sitting here discussing this, we’d be discussing it in London!"

Joe Charles was irritated, he didn’t think Donnie was correct!

"Coming to Mexico City to discuss this is our courtesy allowing us to negotiate this matter with you.

War?

No need for war, we can certainly target your business in the UK, Mr. Block, and you surely won’t deny our power in this?"

Donnie chuckled and said, "I believe you, but Duke Charles, do you think that since I chose to compete with you for these two silver mines in Mexico, I haven’t made any preparations for this matter?"

Joe Charles said, "So we’re showing our cards now?"

Donnie smiled, "You can show your cards, but Duke, your chips can’t see my bottom cards."

Joe Charles didn’t believe Donnie, "Mr. Block, that is the UK, our UK!"

This damned British Empire pride!

Donnie shook his head, "Of course, I never deny this.

But you’re not the only one in power in the UK, but well, I believe, saying this, Duke Charles, you won’t admit it, why don’t we play our cards and see who’s at advantage!"

Joe Charles nodded, neither side wanted to directly start slaughtering each other, after all, it wasn’t a good thing for them.

As Donnie said, they’re not the only power holders in the UK.

These years, controlling the silver mines in Mexico, each have earned a lot, and to say no one envies them is impossible.

Now seeing them in trouble, others would be thrilled.

So if they could solve this matter this way, that would be good!

"First, I know your relationship with Aguirre and Escovar, but as politicians, they cannot ignore their relations with the UK.

So they won’t publicly oppose us!"

Joe Charles calmly looked at Donnie, regardless of his inner thoughts, he needed to display his confidence now.

Donnie equally confident: "This is what you think, Duke Charles, but it’s not the reality, how can you be sure Aguirre and Escovar won’t target you, did they promise you?

Or, as we discussed just now, supported by my British friends, would the UK government really pressure the Mexican government because of you?

Of course, I believe you have your judgment on this matter, but you can’t convince me or your own heart!

So on this matter, I’m clear and understand, you don’t want to understand, but it doesn’t matter, after all, I’m the barbarian at your doorstep, so I can make appropriate concessions.

On this issue, both of us can set aside Aguirre and Escovar’s attitudes!"

Joe Charles frowned again, he was almost forgetting his noble identity.

It’s really because of Donnie’s rhetoric, making him unsure.

Giving up his advantage deliberately!

"Fine!"

Donnie nodded, "I know recently you’ve recruited many people in Mexico, these people work for you, guarding your silver mines."

Joe Charles nodded again, they were worried Donnie might use violent means, so they hired some local powerful gang members.

Donnie smiled, "But do you think they can stop my men?"

Joe Charles wanted to say yes, but he eventually shook his head.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to mess around on this matter.

Donnie smiled, saying, "So, at least in Mexico, you don’t have any advantage!"

Joe Charles nodded reluctantly.

"Alright, let’s talk about maritime transport now!"

Donnie said this, suddenly shaking his head, amused, "I find no need to discuss this matter either, because at sea, I don’t know who can rival my United States Logistics!

Or Duke Charles can enlighten me!"

"I..." Joe Charles pursed his lips, still unsure how to refute Donnie.

The maritime military power of United States Logistics covers all major routes, perhaps in some routes, they’re not strong enough, or one could say they can get the British navy to escort them.

But can the British navy always do this for them?

Even if the British navy could always do so, what about the additional costs incurred?

"These are your advantages, I admit, but don’t forget your business in the UK!"

Joe Charles understood that on both the Mexican mainland and the sea routes, he surely was no match for Donnie!

His advantage lies in the UK!
