The godfather sat in the back seat, his right hand covering his chest, Shen Long thought that he might have been frightened and had a heart attack, and asked as he drove, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Fredo, I'm fine!" The godfather said angrily, "You did a good job just now, if it weren't for you, I might have been shot!" ”

"Then why ......" I'll just say, the godfather was also killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and it was not the first time he was assassinated, how could he be scared of a heart attack because of this incident, but since then, he has been a little unsure why the godfather went to the hospital.

"This assassination was very unexpected, I didn't receive any suspicious clues before, and I can't do it with Solozzo's ability, even with the Tartaglia family!" At that moment just now, the godfather had already thought so much, "There must be other forces hiding behind it, and there must be moles within the family, and maybe it's not just Poly!" ”

"Are you going to pretend to be injured and hospitalized so that they can let their guard down and show their flaws?" Shen Long figured it out, but this reason brought him more doubts, "Although this can confuse the enemy, it is also easy to cause unease within the family and create more opportunities for Solozo and them." ”

The Godfather has always been the pillar of the Corleone family, and if he falls, the family will also be in turmoil, and many people who have been steadfast in the past, may also consider other opportunities, as Tessio did in the original books.

"Fredo, being able to see so many things shows that you've really improved, Sonny can't think of that much." Maybe Mike can too, the godfather didn't say it.

He sighed and continued, "Fredo, I'm fifty-three years old this year, and as a gang leader, that's old enough! How many people will live to my age? How many more years will I be at the helm of House Corleone? Now is the time to think about the future. ”

"It is better to use this opportunity to expose those who have other thoughts than to expose them after I am really dead; Getting rid of them may make the Corleone family less powerful in the short term, but in the long run, it will be better for the growth of a new generation. The Godfather uttered such a terrible plan in a calm tone.

This plan was not only for Solozzo, Tartaglia and the other families hiding behind them, but also for those restless people within the family, who were able to react in such a short time and formulate such a plan, obviously this was not just considered by the godfather, this plan must have been planned in his heart for a long time.

It has been 12 years since the Corleone family defeated the Mazzano family in 1933 to become the hegemon of New York and establish itself in the country, and it is time for a new war to break out.

"Fredo, don't tell anyone the truth about this for a while except Sonny, Mike, and Hagen, not even Klaymanshah!" The Godfather warns that he is now suspicious of Klaymansha and not Tessio, who made Paulie originally Kleimanshah's subordinate, "No, Sonny don't say it for the time being, he is a person who can't hide secrets." ”

"Is that good?" Shen Long asked hesitantly, this sentence was not just a secret, at such a critical juncture, if even Santino did not know the truth of the matter, it meant that he had been excluded from the heir candidate.

"This matter cannot be hidden from Sonny, it has the potential to create unnecessary divisions within the family, which is far more important than defeating Solozo and Tartaglia." Shen Long insisted, knowing that his godfather was a person who valued the family, and maintaining the unity within the family at this time would undoubtedly win his favor.

"Well, there can't be any more." After saying that, the godfather closed his eyes and began to organize his plan.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Shen Long helped his godfather to find the doctor with an Italian accent, and the doctor immediately drove everyone else out, and operated and bandaged the godfather alone, feeling as if he had really been shot, and faced Shen Long outside the operating room and said that the godfather was not completely out of danger now.

Shen Long could probably guess that this person should be the same as Bao Nasera, Nazolin and others, who had received the favor of the godfather, and now it was time to return the favor.

In a single ward in the hospital, the godfather lay there quietly, his face pale as if he had really lost too much blood, Shen Long was making one phone call after another with an anxious face outside, looking at the ward from time to time, and strictly forbidding anyone with any suspicious signs to enter.

Downstairs at Tom Hagen's lawyer, Solozo and his men waited outside, intending to take him away as soon as he came out, so he could bring news to the new heir of House Corleone.

Before that, he had already dealt with Luca Blasi, and he ordered that Luca's body armor be left behind, ready to be wrapped in a fish and sent to the Corleone family, which in Sicilian tradition implied that Luca had entered the sea to sleep with the fish.

Shen Long didn't understand this kind of practice of killing other people's sons and negotiating with his son to do business, but for the American gangsters, interests are the most important, and Solozo also believes that in the face of millions of profits every year, Santino will definitely put his hatred aside for the time being.

But before Tom Hagen could get down, he saw several Corleone family friends hurriedly get out of the car, pick up Tom and get into the car and speed away.

In the Corleone family's mansion, Santino kept answering the phone, scattering half of his men and searching the streets for Solozo's whereabouts; The remaining half stayed in the mansion, and as soon as he got the news, he would take someone to deal with Solozo himself.

Kleimansha and Tessio rushed to the hospital with their men, and on the way they quickly considered how this would affect them.

And in the headquarters of other families in New York, this matter was also discussed, and half an hour after the godfather was assassinated, all the influential big families knew the news.

The patriarch of the Tartaglia family, Philip Tartaglia, scolded, he didn't expect the foolproof means to fail, and after a while, the phone in the secret room rang, he picked it up and listened for a while, then hung up the phone and called Bruno Tartaglia over, "Tell McRobles that the Tartaglia family will send him a large sum of money, and he only needs to do a little thing." ”

They still haven't given up on the idea of killing the Godfather.
