17. Who doesn't love money? Enjoy eighty percent of the profits

Whether it was temptation or something else, Russell was not prepared to take advantage of it.

Maybe Major Poch likes to play such a game of peek-a-boo? Wouldn't Yaxing who rashly disturbed him leave a bad impression.

The speed of the kayak was not slow, and in a few minutes, they were under the warship.

Russell climbed the ladder and boarded the warship's splints.

After a cursory glance at the soldier standing on the splint, an officer with the rank of captain approached and said, "Hello, Major Poch has invited you to the dining room. ”

Russell shook his head: "No, I'll just wait here." ”

Oriatu climbed up as well, and saw Russell standing next to him, who was also leaning against the railing.

Seeing that the persuasion did not move, the captain had no choice but to wait here as well.

Not long after, two soldiers on the ladder also climbed up.

One of the soldiers was visibly stunned when he saw that Russell and the others had not entered the dining room.

I guessed some reasons in my heart.

He generously took off his helmet and laughed: "Hahaha, you are indeed very courageous, I like your character." I am Poch, the head of two destroyers. ”

Russell turned to look at him and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Major, my name is Russell Corleone, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"I'm very glad that there are not many young people as brave as you. Oh? Your name is Corleone, but I've heard that you won two medals in the North African battlefield... The Italian hero with the surname Corleone, interesting. ”

"There were some lucks, and my superiors appreciated me."

Pochi shook hands with him solemnly and said, "This is not a fluke, especially on the battlefield, luck is also part of strength." It's because you're an Italian hero that I'm going to pick you up personally, and you're worth it. ”

"Thank you for your attention, Mr. Major."

Pochi laughed, "You're welcome. Okay, let's go to the restaurant to eat and talk, the sea breeze on the deck is so humid that my eyes are drying up. ”

It's a typical Italian joke, but it's a pity that Russell didn't find the g-spot.

The dining room of the warship was under the cabin, and the table was already set with cutlery and wine glasses.

Pochi said a few words to the captain's lieutenant, and it wasn't long before two plates of steak and ham were served.

"Let's start our dinner."

Russell said, "Before dinner begins, I think Mr. Major should try an appetizer. ”

Porch was clever and did not choose to speak, Russell glanced at Oriyatu, he put the cash box on the dining table and opened it, revealing the real money to Pochi.

But he just glanced at it, and then he looked ahead.

There wasn't much excitement in his eyes, as if he was used to it.

Russell didn't believe that the major didn't like money, and he didn't like to touch it.

Who doesn't like money? In addition to the big boss who pretends to be bigger, can you find someone who doesn't love money?

No!

Mr. Major's disguise was seen through by Russell at a glance, and the more he pretended not to care, the more he cared!

"These are desserts for the Royal Navy, please accept them on your behalf, Mr. Major."

Pochi didn't squint and nodded: "I will, so what's the meal?" ”

"Since it's the main meal, we have to be full, we will come here once a week, and we will bring so much every week, are you satisfied, Mr. Major."

Pochi said with a straight face: "How much do we have?" What do you need to give? ”

"You account for 30 percent, the Germans account for 50 percent, and we work hard to run around to earn 20 percent. Mr. Major doesn't have to pay anything, just make sure we are on this route. ”

If you don't have to pay anything, you can account for 30% of the profit, and what is not satisfied.

Poki smiled when he heard this, "Very good, let's have dinner." ”

"Okay."

Pochi took a bite of the steak, filled the glass and handed it to Russell, and said, "You know, I'm actually Sicilian too." ”

"Oh? Unexpectedly, the major and I were fellow villagers. ”

Pochi nodded and said, "Yes, my family used to be down, thanks to the help of Eddie on the street, and Eddie followed the Mafia Bernano family. ”

Because of this, Pochie had a good impression of Russell when he didn't have a certain face.

Not only did he not embarrass Russell, but Pochi accepted as much as he said.

If he is replaced by another naval lieutenant, it is very likely that Russell's head will be cut off and sent to Mussolini in exchange for meritorious promotion!

Russell saw that Oriyatu had something to say, so he said to Pochi, "My deputy's name is Oriatu, and he wants to say a few words." ”

"No problem, please."

"Eddie is my leader, he is the executor of the Bernano legion, I'm glad you remember him, I'm really happy for Eddie, his efforts are remembered," Oliato said. ”

Poki was stunned, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Oriyatu." Showing respect and remembrance, this glass of wine toasts Eddie. ”

"To Eddie."

Oriyatu drank his wine and stood aside.

No more disturbing Russell and Poch's conversation.

"Mr. Major, since you are Sicilian, you should like the high-end cigarettes made in Sicily."

"Oh? Are there any local cigarettes in Sicily? ”

"Yes, they are made in my own cigarette factory, which is completely legal and legal, and the cigarettes are very well received by Sicilians and taste very good."

Seeing Russell waving his hand, Oliyatu took out an open pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"I'm sorry, it's too coincidental, I didn't expect Mr. Major to be also Sicilian, and he came in a hurry and was unprepared."

Pochi said, "It's okay, I'll taste it first." ”

Light one, Poki bar chirp pout.

"Oh! It has the fragrance of mint, not spicy, no sourness... Very good! I love it. ”

Russell said, "Then I'll bring you more next time." ”

"Thank you so much."

The two had a great chat, talking about the beautiful scenery of Sicily.

Time flies, and Russell has been on board for two hours.

Before leaving, Poch asked the adjutant to deliver a note.

"This is my radio contact channel and codebook, contact me in time if there is something, as long as it is a problem in the line, I will help you solve it as soon as possible."

"Okay, friendship lasts forever."

"Friendship endures, Corleone!"

After the two left.

Poki walked back to the dining room, closed the door, and held the gold in the palm of his hand.

Bow your head and inhale deeply.

"Oh... This alluring aroma..."

Mr. Major was intoxicated.

--

Two fishing boats laden with tobacco set sail for the return trip.

This time the harvest was not small, not only opened up the channels of the German army, but also contacted the navy.

The future career will develop better.

Although Russell said on the surface that he would give 50% to the German army and 30% to the navy, he only had 20% left.

But in fact, he only paid 20% of the profit, and he enjoyed 80% of it alone!

Russell is a businessman, so it's normal to make false accounts.

Loaded with food to Tunisia and stripped of bribes to the navy, Russell netted 1.1 million, of which 400,000 lire and 700,000 gold of equal value.

I have to say that this kind of business comes in too quickly.

Russell knew in his heart that he would have to stop the transformation after two years at most, otherwise after the end of the war, Italy would establish a new country, and it would definitely crack down on private shipping, especially on the Mediterranean coast.
