Chapter 24: British Gangsters
After Zhao Zhi received the counterfeit banknote from the Gestapo, Zhao Zhi discussed with Hunter, who was far away in the UK, and with the accurate intelligence support of the British branch of the CIA, Hunter, who arrived in Britain in advance, contacted the most powerful part of the British mafia. Zhao Zhi doesn't believe in alliances, he only believes in strength, in the face of absolute strength, the old mafia family has to bow his head, not to mention that standing behind Zhao Zhi are the Lockman family and the Germans.
The mafia is involved in smuggling, controlling casinos and the ** industry, and selling moonshine, but they never deal with the army, so Zhao Zhi, who has an army background, is a figure they can't afford to mess with, especially now that the veteran Rockman family is involved. Kerim had no idea what he was going through, he had been blindfolded with a black cloth since he kidnapped a group of people, and his mouth was gagged to keep his chattering mouth shut, but his sanity was completely clear.
When he felt that he had been stripped naked and washed in cold water, a fear never before rose in his heart. There were at least seven or eight hands scrubbing themselves, and then they had wrapped themselves in a large cloth, and then they were carrying them back and forth, what the hell were they going to do? It wasn't until Klim felt that he had been hung up that the shields from his mouth and eyes were removed, and his limbs were fixed to iron pipes in large shapes, a makeshift shelf, and these people were in a private torture hall. They even wanted to torture the head of a mafia family.
"Who are you? I'm just a docker clerk, I don't have any money to give you" Kerim looked at the dark-haired young man standing in front of him, and the coldness in his eyes made it impossible for him to say any more nonsense he had made up to get out.
"I know who you are? I also know that you belong to that family, so, don't challenge my patience" Zhao Zhi turned around and pulled over a chair and sat down. The members of the Italian mafia he met in his previous life were all guys with polite speech and demeanor, and from the appearance it was impossible to tell that these well-dressed people who entered and exited high-end places were mafia, and this pig-like guy in front of him didn't look like a big family of the mafia family, but a ruffian hooligan in Beiping City.
Kerim pretended to be afraid and lowered his eyes, thinking of countermeasures in his mind, looking at the meaning of the other party's words, he already knew his identity, since he knew that he belonged to the Italian mafia family, and he still hung himself like this, the other party should not be a simple person. Krim, who had made up his mind, spoke, but his tone was not as obscene as before, "Now that you know who I am, tell me why you kidnapped me here?" There doesn't seem to be any misunderstanding between us? ”
"There is no misunderstanding between us, but your dock union detained my ship, so I invited you here to talk" Zhao Zhi had a document in his hand, which Hunter had obtained from the British high-level. The documents show that the British government did not order the ships in the port to be detained, and the ships hired by Zhao Zhi were detained, mainly because of the matter in front of him. Using some shady means to create trouble and excuses, and asking for money from ships docked in the port, the ships hired by Zhao Zhi were forcibly seized because Mingyue paid the bills they issued.
The environment in Britain is not as relaxed as in the United States, and the Italian mafia is not having a very good time in the UK, and the Italian mafia who migrated to the UK are also some side branches of those old families in Sicily. Organizing trade unions is a common method used by the British mafia, and Kerim is just one of them, but his life is not good, and he directly provokes Zhao Zhi.
As soon as Zhao Zhiyi talked about the ships on the dock, Kerim finally had some impressions, but he spent a lot of money in order to move the tax collectors on the dock, so he was hung by the other party for a while and then let go, so didn't his own expenses be given in vain? "Sir, those boats have nothing to do with me, you should go to the dock management committee, it's the boats they seized, I'm just a union clerk, it's true" Kerim's face wrinkled, making Zhao Zhi, who was sitting opposite him, almost burst out laughing. "Are you telling the truth?" But that's not what I said about the document in my hand," Zhao Zhi took a few steps forward and asked Kerim to read the document he was holding clearly, which even wrote clearly the amount of bribes that Kerim paid to the tax officer, and only clearly wrote what the face value of the money was.
Krim, who had just mustered up a little courage, instantly softened, and the person who could tie himself up here without knowing it, and the person who could know this in such detail was by no means a simple person, and he had met an opponent this time. "What the hell do you want?" Krim simply stared at Zhao Zhi with a heart, anyway, the matter was already broken, so he simply admitted it.
"You seized my fleet and caused me to suffer losses, so you must compensate me" Zhao Zhi motioned to the mercenary standing in the shadows to put Krim down, since the other party had softened, Zhao Zhi's purpose was to achieve the initial effect. "You take a look at these pounds, see if those are real and those are fake" Zhao Zhi pointed to a few pound notes on the table, so that Krim, who was dressed in clothes, could carefully distinguish them.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible," Kerim's eyes widened, the fake five-pound note he had just identified could be genuine, while the other genuine five-pound notes he had identified were all fakes. Both the British public and banks are accustomed to folding banknotes and nailing them together with pins, so banknotes generally have pinholes in them. But the British never put a needle hole in the words 'Great Britain', and if Zhao Zhi hadn't told Kerim this secret mark, he would definitely think that Zhao Zhi was lying to him.
"I'm afraid not, although we are a mafia, but we are just a small family, there are other families in the UK, the profits of counterfeit money are very high, but my family is afraid that they will not be able to eat this cake" Knowing that Zhao Zhi wanted to make himself responsible for exchanging counterfeit money for resources in the UK, Kerim's first thought was that he would provoke other families, and his family's strength was too weak to bear the pressure from other families.
"Don't be afraid, isn't there still me?" Zhao Zhi's smile was filled with deep coldness, which made Krim, who was standing beside him, shudder. I don't know what Zhao Zhi said to Krim, anyway, when Klim left the house, he left with a smile on his face, and then left London with a few mercenaries brought by Hans, and with them a few heavy suitcases.
In the north of Southampton, there is a relatively quiet luxury private house, at this time the lights are bright, there are more than a dozen cars parked outside the private house, dozens of strong men in different outfits holding Thompson are patrolling back and forth, they stare at each other from time to time, obviously these nearly 100 gang members do not belong to the same camp, but today they have a common task, that is, to guard here, to escort the mafia family that is meeting inside.
When a few black shadows sneaked into the private house from the wilderness area on the back, most of the people didn't notice the anomaly in time. In the hall where the rally was held, except for the only seven bigwigs and the two bodyguards they each brought, a total of twenty-one people were here. A young man in his thirties with curly hair and a high nose has been standing to speak, he is the rookie madman Kerim, who has only been on the rise for more than a year, and the initiator of today's party.
"Kerim, what right do you have to ask for the redivision of territory" A bald man in his fifties snorted and said: "Kerim, you seem to be not counting my Luton family, I know that you have a good relationship with the tax officer of the port, but the union is not up to you alone" These gangster families rely on the port and can get a good income every year, and now Kerim is asking for the redivision of the territory of each family, obviously to damage the interests of some families, and he naturally can't agree to the bad relationship with Krim.
Krim was about to speak sarcastically about him when suddenly there was a loud bang on the door of the hall, and then it split apart, and the next moment several figures had rushed in. After everyone was stunned, the bodyguard behind them instinctively touched the gun on his waist, only to hear a small gunshot, the bald Luton's head had been hit by a bullet, and the steaming brain and red blood were splattered on the ground. This bloody scene frightened everyone present, and at the moment when they were ready, a black shadow had already reached the table, condescending, and the guns in both hands motioned to those who pulled out their guns from time to time to put down their weapons.
The next moment all the people raised their hands, because there were several guys holding Thomson in their hands who rushed in with the man rushing in, and there was such a space for laughter, as long as the Thomson in their hands sounded, none of the people present could escape. The eyes of the gang leaders began to focus on the protagonist on the table, the scene of Luton being shot just now had made them dare not move, their lives were now in the hands of these people, and it was wise to give up resistance.
There was silence in the hall, only heavy breathing, when suddenly Krim waved his hand downward, and this action was followed by the sound of gunfire. When the morning light penetrated Southampton, another busy day began, and while most people were busy with their work, a fire was suddenly discovered in this private house in the north of Southampton, and the bloody incident that took place in this private house finally wiped out all evidence in a fire, and more than 100 people died in the night.
Frightened by the killing spree, the madman Krim thought he was the most ruthless person, and this time he opened his eyes. Krim felt extremely fortunate to be the only survivor of the Seven Gangsters, maybe God was still pampering him, so he knelt in front of Zhao Zhi and swore allegiance to Zhao Zhi.
