Chapter 574: A Brief History of the Mafia
The people of the Kercorion family do not have a good reputation in the United States, after all, they are from the underworld
It turned out that this family has always been rooted in New York and other new England areas on the east coast of the United States, and later in the seventies of the last century, because the United States intensified its efforts to crack down on gangsters, many mafia elements of Italian descent moved to Las Vegas...
Thus the glory of Las Vegas was also long in coming, as well as the achievement of the California consortium
For a family with such a background, Li Zhiyang only knows a little bit about the famous American movie "The Godfather", and he really doesn't know much about the Italian mafia family.
To be honest, he still had some expectations for the invitation of the Kercorion family.
The day after receiving the invitation, he got on a plane and went straight to Las Vegas, a famous casino in the United States, with James
The Kercorion family invited them to negotiate not in the Far East, where they had been active lately, but in the United States.
After all, their roots are still here, and after the United States has launched a powerful crackdown on gangs on the East Coast, these Italian mafias have also been mixed up.
If they want to pass on their family in the United States for a long time, it is not enough to just go through the underworld, they must be properly whitewashed
In the fifties of the last century, almost all the east coast of the United States was infiltrated by these mafia forces, and the mafia at that time could be regarded as a momentary glory
However, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the mafia power in the United States almost reached its peak.
The New Orleans mafia became famous by taking out the local police chief, and the mafia began to make a name for itself in the United States.
When they made the mafia famous in the world again, because this time, they killed not only a small sheriff in the United States, but the most powerful person in the world, that is, the famous John. Kennedy
Speaking of Kennedy's death, there have always been many doubts, the most ridiculous of which is the street legend at the time that this was the prelude to the alien invasion manipulated by the then Vice President Johnson and so on
However, this is known as the biggest unsolved case in the United States in history, but in fact, for people like James, there is nothing to hang at all.
On the plane to Las Vegas, James began to explain to Li Zhiyang, the history of the American mafia and the history of the mysterious case
It is said that since the United States has brought in immigrants from Europe, especially the immigrants from Sicily, Italy, they have come to the United States by spreading the ocean, which is mixed with many former mafia elements.
After the mafia in New Orleans openly killed the local sheriff, the term mafia began to enter the eyes of Americans.
However, the mafia at that time was not a climate
But in the thirties of the last century, the American mafia gradually began to flourish, mainly because of the financial crisis in the thirties, which led to the unemployment of many workers.
And the alliance of these workers, who regularly marched and caused trouble, became the general precursor of the mafia, and among them, the Italians, especially those from Sicily, had a great talent for mixing with the mafia.
They quickly rose to prominence in the underworld and became the best of the best, forming a real mafia gang that was feared by the Senses.
With their roots in Chicago, Atlantic City, and New York, they soon formed the world-famous Five Families
When Hoover was in power in the United States, labor disputes in the United States were particularly serious, and unemployed workers often went to Washington every once in a while to make trouble.
Later, Hoover had no choice but to compromise with these mafia elements to divert the attention of the angry working class, and these mafia elements became the thugs of the government, similar to the fighting forces of the demolition company of the Celestial Empire.
They often beat the workers who marched in the streets, and even the president of the American Workers' Union at the time was killed by them.
Later, in the early days of Roosevelt's tenure, he took quite severe measures against these mafias, cracked down on them, and once eliminated many gangsters.
Later, however, as World War II approached, the Jewish consortium in the United States was eager for the shareholder government to enter the war and suppress the Nazi forces in the United States.
In the end, quietly led by the Morgan family, Roosevelt and the mafia at that time reached a compromise, and after that, the mafia turned their guns around, and directly beat the Nazi style that was once quite prevalent in the United States
And at that time, in the Midwest of the United States, Hitler also made great efforts, either to provoke the Mexicans to regain lost territory, or to incite the local Indians to revolt, so as to contain the energy of the United States and prevent them from doing their best in World War II.
Therefore, in the Midwest of the United States, Roosevelt simply let go of his support for the mafia, which also led to the further expansion of the mafia's power in the United States
After World War II, it immediately entered the Cold War period, because those mafia elements had many eyes and ears, the U.S. government relaxed its policies on these mafias, and many mafia elements became IA intelligence officers.
And their use of these mafias is even more to the best of their ability, during the Korean War, the US Secretary of State John. Foster. Dulles is in private contact with these mafias.
He also instructed them to launch death threats against the United Nations representatives in the United States, such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and finally forced them to vote, agree to and pass the agreement on the United Nations intervention in the Korean War
In the sixties and seventies, these mafia elements even carried out assassinations on a large scale, obstructing judicial fairness, smuggling and selling drugs, and doing all kinds of evil
They have forgotten their role in the eyes of politicians, they have forgotten their own identity, and according to the words of the old boys, politicians use them when they think of them, and when they can't remember, they kick them far away, because they are just night pots
This was delivered by the Chicago mafia in the sixties, Sam. Gan Karna is the embodiment of this
And with this Sam. Garncarna is particularly closely related to the Kennedy family, which is also one of the most famous political families in American history.
Words about US President John. Kennedy's father, Joseph. Kennedy was not a clean man in the early days, although this old boy also mixed in the financial world and served as the president of the Bank of Boston, but it was not his financial means that really made him rich.
It's Prohibition in the United States, during the period when Prohibition was enacted in the United States, this old boy and that Sam. Gan Engana colluded to smuggle inferior spirits from Canada to the United States, making a fortune.
It was during that time that he exploded his net worth from several million to more than 200 million US dollars, thus laying a solid foundation for his son's political career
And this John. The relationship between President Kennedy and the mafia is also particularly close. Because they were immigrants to Ireland and Catholic, the Kennedys, even though they were quite wealthy, were once Protestant Anglos in New England. Saxons are excluded.
Later this John. During his first campaign, President Kennedy used to be with his uncle, Sam. Gankana met in secret, and a series of shady agreements were reached.
This included the fact that in the two state elections in which Kennedy was rather weak, the mafia operated in the shadows.
Transporting voters from one place to another for repeated voting, or directly threatening voters who ignore the mafia's demands to vote for Kennedy.
The quid pro quo was that if Kennedy could successfully respond to the election and become president in this election, then Kennedy would have to turn a blind eye to the mafia's options in some places, especially in Chicago.
And at the time of the initial success of this plan, John. Kennedy couldn't even hold back thinking about this Sam in his frenzied celebrations. Gankarna promised that if he won the election, he would invite the Chicago godfather to serve as U.S. attorney general
Finally John. Kennedy succeeded, winning the election, becoming the youngest president in the history of the United States.
But when he turned his head, he took the Chicago godfather who gave him a lot of credit for his victory, Sam. Gankarna was left behind and appointed his younger brother Robert as Minister of Justice.
And this Robert is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as soon as he took office, he directly gave instructions to 'crack down on organized crime'.
Kennedy's act of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge certainly angered the mafia, who were already in a state of rage at the time, who felt that they had been tricked, and Sam. Gankarna was even more furious.
But they can only be helpless, after all, the Kennedy family, who have dealt with them for many years, has already been calculated, and they don't have the courage to turn against the Kennedy family, because now they are already powerful families, one is the president of the United States, and the other is the attorney general of the United States.
And the Kennedy family is indeed proud of their form, they completely forget that their enemies are not only the American mafia, but also the largest consortium in the United States, the Morgan consortium
This John. Kennedy's father, Joseph. Kennedy was a successful businessman and smuggler, but he was not a very good politician.
In the early days, after he became rich by smuggling spirits, this old boy was once ambitious and wanted to enter the political world, so he supported Roosevelt and helped make a lot of political donations in Roosevelt's election
After Roosevelt became the president of the United States, this old boy wanted to become the secretary of the Treasury of the United States, but he was such a person who was quite unpopular compared with several major conglomerates in the United States, how could Roosevelt let him become the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States?
So he was appointed as the American ambassador to Great Britain, and the old boy was appointed as the American ambassador to Great Britain because an Irishman had become the American ambassador to Great Britain, and this position was also a strategic position, which could be regarded as a kind of revenge, so Joseph gladly arrived.
However, not long after the arrival of this old boy, he aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, because he did not pay attention to the reality of the persecution of Jews in Germany, and also openly published rumors of a favorable opinion of Hitler.
This angered the Morgan family, a large Jewish consortium in the United States at that time, and the Liangzi of the two families was concluded at that time.
And this John. After Kennedy became the president of the United States, he vigorously supported Boston's local and Boston consortiums, and helped them get a lot of orders from the United States, and robbed a lot of Morgan's business, which made the Morgan family even more angry and angry.
As early as the Roosevelt period, the Morgan family had considerable contact with the American mafia, and in fact, there were many mafia who secretly helped the Morgan family to do things.
So when both sides were dissatisfied with Roosevelt, they colluded and finally made a decision.
This time, they chose the most bloody New Orleans, and the godfather of the mafia in New Orleans at that time was Carlos. Marcelo, this guy is the youngest of the many godfathers of the American mafia, and the most cautious.
And Carlos didn't disappoint John. Kennedy was in Dallas for his re-election, on his way to collect votes, he was called Harvey. The Oswald guy shattered his skull
And this Harvey. Oswalt was being escorted from prison two days later, when he had just been escorted out of the police station and faced reporters.
At the beginning, he was still smiling and politely answering questions, but in a blink of an eye, his face changed, and the last words he left in the world were
Then he was directly killed by a nightclub owner named Ruby, and after this Ruby, after he was finally arrested, his explanation was that he really couldn't help it and wanted to do the right thing for heaven
And as it turned out, the Assassin Harvey. Oswalt's parents both worked for Carlos, and Ruby, the owner of the nightclub, also worked for Carlos.
Meanwhile, the godfather of New Orleans was on trial when the judge announced in horror that the court had been adjourned for 10 minutes because of the president's assassination.
Carlos whispered to the district attorney who had prosecuted him, but the prosecutor could still see the shape of his mouth, and the phrase was 'next, you!', and the legendary boss was acquitted
Soon after that, Sam, who planned this incident, Gan Engana, was shot and killed indiscriminately in his own home, so the document case became the biggest unsolved case in the United States
After that, John's brother, Robert, was assassinated again five years later when he announced that he was running for president.
This is enough to show the influence of the mafia in the United States at that time
However, after Bush became the director of IA, the good days of these mafias came to an end, and they suffered fatal blows one after another.
At that time, the five major families of the mafia already had a feeling of declining, but during the Reagan administration, the mafia still developed greatly.
Not for anything else, just because Riban himself is a member of the Lukese family among the five major families
However, the good times did not last long, and during the 16 years of the reign of Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., and during the period when Bush Sr. served as director of IA, the American mafia suffered heavy losses and was almost annihilated by the blow.
Many of the mafios, who had been in New York and Chicago, had to leave their hometowns and come to Las Vegas, which led to the prosperity of the city and the rise of California conglomerates.
The reason why the two fathers and sons of Bush spared no effort to crack down on the mafia is that they are also very unremarkable.
In fact, it is because the gang to which Bush and his son belong 'Skull and Bones Club' do not agree with the ideas of the five major families of the mafia
The Skull and Bones Society was a secret assembly of Yale elites, which later developed into a smaller branch of the American mafia, but its strength has never been overlooked.
Because the members of this organization are all financial magnates, business celebrities, and high-ranking military and political officials in the United States, because these people have a firm grip on the US regime, either financial power, or the right to speak, their strength cannot be ignored.
During the period when the Bush family was in charge of the United States, the Skull Society sprung up, and the five major families that originally crisscrossed the United States were basically dying at this time and went underground.
This time when they came to Las Vegas, Li Zhiyang and the object of their negotiations, the Kelcorion family, was originally a branch of the five major mafia families in the United States, the Collobo family.
Because they broke away from the family earlier, and the Kirk in Las Vegas was also considered to have caught up with the good times and made a fortune earlier, so they were not cleaned up too much by the two Bush fathers and sons.
But their life is still not very easy, after all, the relationship between their family and the five major families in the early days was too close, so they are still branded as mafia.
Although their family claims to be the one who has long since left the mafia organization and has been engaged in legitimate business for many years, who would believe it.
So over the years, although their family has not been bad for money, it is also a dog meat feast, and in the eyes of those so-called high society, they have always been excluded.
This is one of the main reasons why they plan to sell their business in the United States this time and then go to the Far East to develop
The fucking taxes are all paid the same, but they are still guarded as if they were thieves, after all, this breath is not pleasant
