42. Oil Trail, to Rome
Chris nodded, once the conversation box was opened, he couldn't hold it, and besides, he had to show his attitude and stand with Russell, even if it was to offend Dika.
"Yes, when the Javelin came to the port, Decca wanted to charge berthing fees, but Santo not only didn't give it, but reported him, and the people above checked it for half a month, causing Dika to lose fifty or sixty thousand lira."
Hearing this, Russell understood in seconds, it seems that Santo doesn't want to cooperate with Dicca, and it seems that he wants to eat alone, and he doesn't take Dicca in his eyes.
"Dika just put up with it?"
"I can't bear to do anything, Santo is the son-in-law of the Pelos family. And Deka's relationship is in the army, and his hand can't reach the navy. ”
Russell frowned and said, "The son-in-law of the Pelos family..."
In this way, this matter is not strange, but premeditated blackmail!
Everyone on the Javelin is involved, and all of them will receive dividends when they succeed.
I just don't know if the other members of the Pelos family are involved, if all of them are involved, it will be a big trouble.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Felisto hurried to the door and knocked twice.
Russell looked up and saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "Let's be straight, Chris is his own person." ”
Chris raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, knowing that the news he handed out just now was recognized by Russell and officially joined the Corleone family.
Felisto walked into the house and said, "Godfather, just now two brothers on board were released by the navy, and they brought news that the price of the navy has risen, and the three ships will cost a million lire, and the ransom will cost 10,000 lira each, a total of 1,830,000 lire of gold. ”
In addition to the twenty brothers on the three ships, there were captains, first mates, sailors, maintenance workers and others.
"Godfather, they also said that they have already given us a discount of 30,000 lire, don't bargain, otherwise they will throw all the people into the Mediterranean Sea and sink three ships on the charge of invasion."
Chris's face froze, he didn't expect the navy to be so strong, obviously he ate Corleone. The other party must know what Russell does, otherwise they would not dare to speak out and threaten.
He had only recently joined Corleone, and he didn't want to be killed so soon.
Turning his head to look at Russell, he didn't see his sad face, but his face was flat, not angry, but a smile.
Russell's shameless behavior really made Russell laugh, and this is indeed their regular operation.
Russell stood up and said, "Chris, you go back and tell Dika that I'll help him get the parking fee back." ”
Chris was obviously stunned, he didn't know where Corleone got the confidence.
That's the Pelos family, even if it's not a descendant, but the other party is still the captain of a destroyer!
And what about Russell? He was just a descendant of a down-and-out family, and when he returned to Sicily, he didn't have a helper by his side. Relying entirely on his own ability to lay a foundation, it can be described as a self-made man.
Under the unequal strength and all kinds of unfairness, how to fight?
But he didn't say much, and when he heard Russell's eviction order, he nodded in response.
"Yes, Mr. Corleone."
Felisto sent it down and brought up the brown leather bag in the trunk of the car.
"Yes."
The brown leather bag was brought out of the barracks by Russell after leaving the front, and it contained two of Russell's military medals, as well as some of his personal belongings.
It's just that it's still in the car all the time, and I don't pay attention to it.
When Felisto brought the bag up, Russell opened it and rummaged through it.
"Hogan and the Pelos family are eyeing each other?"
"Yes, they have been stared to death, there are more than fifty of them, but they are usually at home, or three or two people go out, our brothers are barely enough."
"Well, let Oriyatu suffer some guilt first, and let him take revenge with his own hands when the time comes, what do you think?"
Felisto smiled, "Oriatu will definitely be grateful to you for giving him the opportunity to avenge his revenge." ”
"Have you found the Hogans' oil extraction?"
"There are some clues, Nostin and the two of them have checked again, and I believe they will be found soon."
"Oil is very important, inform them not to act rashly when they find it, if they startle the snake, then all the people on the other side who are open will become blind forever."
"Yes."
Russell took out two notebooks from his bag, picked up a pen and copied the information from the notebook on a blank piece of paper.
"Send this telegram and contact me immediately if you have any news."
"Okay."
Felisto glanced at the words on the paper and wondered, "Godfather, the telegram message is only sent 5055?" ”
"Yes, go ahead."
"Yes."
5055 is a telegram encrypted message, which is deciphered as: Wittini.
In the background, Wittini is Russell's last name when he fought on the front lines.
At the same time, Vertigi also sent him to the barracks, the surname of the commander.
The prefect announced that he sent his family's sons and nephews to the battlefield to serve the country, not only gaining prestige, but also taking money to get things done, killing two birds with one stone.
Two weeks ago, when the Pacific War broke out, Russell was reading the newspaper with great interest when he discovered the name of Mar Wittini, who had been promoted to the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs.
Since Mal had left his contact information, there must have been a plan.
Because Russell left the barracks as an Italian hero, it stands to reason that he could only get a crusade medal, but he didn't expect to get a Mussolini medal, this thing is like a gold medal for avoiding death, and it doesn't matter if your real surname is exposed, because the medal is in hand, and those who find fault should also think carefully.
Three hours after the telegram was sent, the other party replied.
Russell looked at the literal meaning, frowned and scolded, "It's realistic! ”
The message roughly means: there is something to talk about in Rome, the telegram is inconvenient, the Sicilian specialties are very good, bring sincerity before coming.
Even if Russell has super high quality, he still can't let go of it.
Mar was afraid that he was not at ease, and left him a contact information, which was also determined that he would return to his old business when he returned to Sicily, and then he would be in trouble.
When the time comes, Russell has no foundation and can only think of him.
"Felisto."
"The Godfather."
"Go and exchange the last 500,000 lire for gold, find a ship and we'll go to Rome."
"Okay."
After he left, Russell smiled with a dark face.
"Mar Vitini... Want to control me? My money isn't that easy to get. ”
Whatever Marl had planned, he was going to Rome once, and once he met, he could talk about anything.
Two hours later, the sky darkened.
Felisto returned after exchanging gold.
"Godfather, it's ready, tonight we're leaving Catania for Rome."
"Yes."
"Northin has found the Hogan family's oil gathering point."
"Where?"
"In the deserted village of Vialano near the sea, there were more than 50 people who fenced off the collection well with buildings, but Nostin saw the barrel of oil and was very sure that it was the oil collection point."
"Just keep an eye on them and wait for us to get back."
"Okay."
It was completely dark.
Russell and Felisto sailed to Rome.
