48. Crash on, shipwreck and oil town

When Pochi heard this, he was astonished.

Most of the oil in his knowledge comes from North Africa and the Middle East, and Sicily is very scarce in mineral resources, not to mention oil, and even copper and iron ore are scarce.

"There is oil in Sicily? Oh, my God... Not kidding. ”

Russell looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Of course it's not a joke, otherwise how would Victorini help dispose of Santo's eyesore." ”

Poch immediately understood that this was what was going on.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything, you can cruise the sea normally, our ship will not shuttle through the Mediterranean every day, you just have to open your eyes and close your eyes, then you will get a lot of money."

Pochi wrinkled when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Corleone, you are always so polite, if you had known that you and Chief Vetigny were close to each other, then we would not have had to deal with each other with money. Now that we've moved to the Mediterranean, there's more oil and water than before, so you don't have to give too much. ”

"If it's a friendship between the two of us, I don't think you need to exchange money, but you also need to keep the soldiers fed and clothed. Rest assured, divided into things, I will communicate with Uncle Vertini. ”

Poch heard Russell call Wittini his uncle and immediately understood their relationship.

"No problem! I will do my best to ensure the safety of the route. ”

Poch's speech was somewhat blunt, but not offensive. Russell prefers to deal with people like Poch rather than Decca's hypocrisy.

At this time, there was a roar in the sea, and three fishing boats slowly approached the shore.

After Oriatu's others got off the ship, they came to Russell.

Seeing this, Pochi also said hello and left, after all, he had just completed the task of changing guards tonight, and he had to drive the destroyer out to make a show.

Originally, Russell wanted to take someone to Hogan and Pelos's house to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he didn't expect that these two families seemed to notice it and wanted to escape with their families in the dark!

If they had traveled by land, there might have been a chance of survival, but they chose the sea route, where passenger ferries docked in the Mediterranean Sea were waiting for them to board.

This operation really made Russell a little speechless, because they hit the muzzle of the gun.

Just as three fishing boats are returning to port, Oriyatu is scrambling to move the cargo off board to reduce the weight of the fishing boats and reach their maximum speed.

"Godfather, the last of the Hogan and Pelos families have boarded the passenger ship in a small boat."

Russell nodded when he heard this, and said to Oriyatu: "Order, everyone board the ship and bring your guns." ”

"Yes!"

Oriatu and Felisto's men all boarded the ship, and Russell stepped onto deck and gave the order to set sail.

In an instant, the three ships sailed towards the Mediterranean.

After twenty minutes of sailing, three nautical miles away, the lookout observed the traces of the passenger ship.

After ten minutes at full speed, the distance between the three fishing boats and the passenger ship was only two hundred meters.

At this time, the people on the passenger ship were very panicked, and they shouted wildly on the deck.

"Order, ship No. 3 and No. 6 sail at full speed from the left and right, aim at the flank guard of the passenger ship, and crash into it!"

"Yes!"

"Felisto?"

"Yes, Godfather."

"Let your men cover the shot."

"Yes!"

The two fishing boats chased out as fast as they could, outflanking them from the left and right.

The draft and speed of a passenger ship are not as good as that of a fishing boat, because its load is too large, which delays the speed.

The sound of gunfire breaks the quiet night, and the seemingly peaceful sea is actually extremely dangerous.

Felisto's subordinates held their guns and fired at the passenger liner in front of them continuously, causing many people who wanted to fight back to shrink their heads.

Boats 3 and 6 sailed at full speed on the left and right sides of the passenger liner, and Russell's fishing boat was in hot pursuit.

The people on the liner were a little desperate, and they began to cry and scream in fright.

With two loud impacts, the tips of the bows of the two fishing boats were directly embedded into the flank guards of the passenger ships.

In an instant, the sea water poured in.

The people on the fishing boat, on the other hand, raised their guns and fired at the people in the windows and on the deck, killing and wounding a large number of people.

Without waiting for Russell to speak, Felisto jumped from the bow to the stern of the passenger ship with his men.

Raising a gun and holding the fire, he shouted: "Search! ”

Everyone shuttled through the cabin, saw people replenishing guns, and soon scavenged three iron boxes.

Oriyatu sent a boat to pick them up and save them all safely.

And there were still shouts on the passenger liner, but to no avail.

They have become frogs in a pot, they don't need to boil water for cooking, as long as they sink down, all problems are solved.

The gunfire stopped, and the passenger ship slowly descended, and soon the stern of the ship fell into the sea, as if swallowed by the maw of the abyss.

When the bow of the ship sank to the surface, the night was quiet.

It's not a pity that the passenger liner sank, and if it continued to haunt the port, it would make people think that the Hogan and Pelos families were in misfortune. But if the liner disappears, people will think they have earned enough money and flee to Greece.

Back at the port, Oriatu personally led people to clean up the impact marks on the bow of the ship overnight, and delivered the goods on board to the warehouse of the Catania tobacco branch.

The reason why Santo did not find the cash on the three ships was because Oriyatu did not put the cash on the three ships at all, but was taken by Nevino when he passed by the town's docks and deposited it in the cigarette factory's treasury.

Russell spent two days in Catania, during which he used three iron crates that Felistto had scavenged from the liner to give his brothers enough to convince them.

After the subsidy was distributed, six million worth of gold and three million lira in cash were left in the iron box.

When the people in the harbor found that the Hogan family's passenger ship was gone, they began to talk about it.

Within half a day, two new passenger ships were parked in port, and people only briefly asked the Hogan boss why he didn't do it, and the staff on the new passenger ship said that they had fled with their families to Greece, and then people stopped talking about it.

The passenger liner business must be done, this business seems to be cumbersome, but in fact it is also a way to make money, just so that the unemployed brothers have something to do.

It can also find a way forward for subsequent fishing boats to transport oil.

Before returning to the town, Felisto drove Russell to the oil well in the deserted village.

Northin had cleared the deserted village and put up a fence next to the oil wells.

"After a while, a large number of residents will come to defect, you have to repair the houses in the deserted village, they will become residents of the deserted village, and there will be a few oil extraction engineers, you have to listen to the advice of professionals, understand?"

"Understood!"

"You will be in charge of the deserted village in the future, is there a problem?"

"No, Godfather. I will do a good job and I will not let you down. ”

Russell said, "It's okay to disappoint me, I can give you a chance to improve, but don't let your subordinates and family down." ”

"Yes, your words, I take to heart."

"Make this a beautiful seaside town, Northin, and I'll make you mayor!"

Nostin was stunned, and then his eyes were full of tears.

"The Godfather... I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity, I have nothing to repay, and I am willing to serve you with my life. ”

"Do things well."

Russell patted him on the shoulder, and Northin was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and kiss his godfather's shoes.

Before leaving, Russell left 800,000 lire of cash to Northin to build a beautiful oil town, and as long as the oil business runs smoothly, then Russell will get more gold!
