54. Marlena's father died, funeral

As the car stopped not far from the ruins, Marlena stared with tears in her eyes, and she saw that Russell's subordinates Felistto and Oriyatu were here, and they were working hard to carry the rubble, in stark contrast to the cold eyes of the residents.

Russell turned his head to wipe the tears from her face and said, "You wait in the car, I'll take a look." ”

"Yes, Mr. Corleone."

Before Russell got out of the car, he pulled up the curtains of the car to prevent people from outside from seeing the inside of the car.

Marlena's eyes were fixed on the ruins, sobbing silently.

Her father, not a good father, was a confused father who was willing to listen to rumors.

However, that is also Marlena's biological father!

This kind of emotion may only be understood by those who are bound by blood.

In the ruins, Oliatus and Felisto are exhuming Posigno's body, and it is clear that he will surely die in this situation.

Mayor Harvey's face was covered in dust, and he could see that he was working hard.

"The Godfather."

Russell nodded: "Harvey, this is not what you should do, you organize people to invite the residents to go home and do what they should do, don't watch the excitement here." ”

Harvey wiped his sweat and replied, "Okay, Godfather." ”

"Go ahead."

Harvey was about to organize people to invite the residents home, but he didn't expect the residents to immediately roll up their sleeves and participate in the excavation work.

Obviously, they were made for Russell.

In his capacity, he was of high status throughout Sicily, not to mention fiddling with a few inhabitants.

Soon, Posigno's body was exhumed.

He was very old, deaf and dizzy, had inconvenient legs and feet, and died not very miserably, because there were no external injuries at all, he was completely killed by a shell, and then he was covered by a whole wall.

"Oriatu went to the best carpenter in town, made a good coffin for Professor Posigno, and asked the make-up artist to give him a look."

"Yes!"

On the same day, Marlena saw Posigno for the last time, and although her face was sad, she was able to control her emotions.

Russell didn't comfort her, just held her in his arms and made her feel warm.

The news of her father's death has long spread throughout the town, and the residents are discussing it at home and silent outside, and the humanity is vividly displayed in the residents.

Oriatu found the carpenter, negotiated the price, and the carpenter took out his coffin and used it with a little modification.

On the day of the funeral, Felisto sent four of his subordinates to carry the coffin, Russell accompanied Marlena behind, and Oriyatu and others were dressed in black and followed silently.

When passing through the busy street, many people on the side of the street joined the procession.

As the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of hatred, look at the face of the Buddha, the relationship between Marlena and Russell is already clear, and the residents are very clear that the man has no urine, and the woman has also shut herself out of fear.

Their kindness did not get Russell's understanding, but made Russell look down on him even more.

In the movie, after her father died, what kind of hard life did Marlena live? In the final scene of the film, Marlena returns to the town, and the residents call her 'Mrs. Scordia', what does it mean?

It's just that you don't care about the past, we've forgotten that now you're Mrs. Scordia, not the beautiful Marlena.

They have no remorse at all!

Now, they are only afraid of Corleone in their hearts, so they have become good people, and if no one protects Marlena, then they are still blood-licking demons!

At the time of Posigno's burial, Rand and the other mayors of the town, as well as Chris and Octo, came in Russell's presence.

They did not say anything to Marlena, but only bowed to the deceased with the utmost respect.

Posigno's funeral was very beautiful, how many people could be sent off by so many people? These include the mafia, the military, the government, the residents......

Marlena's mood was much calmer, she saw so many people coming to see Posigno, she knew that it was all for Russell's face, if it wasn't for Russell's protection, she might not be bullied at the moment.

She no longer lowered her head as before, and did not dare to look directly into people's eyes, after Russell's training, she was much more confident and appeared more temperamental.

She was able to respond appropriately to all kinds of people, and of course the first thing she said was always the following: You are a friend of Mr. Corleone, and I am very grateful to have come to mourn my father......

This not only made the people who came happy to be happy, but also made Marlena's heart feel much more comfortable, Monsieur Corleone had done so much for her, and he had arranged her father's funeral with his own hands.

completely treats her father as a relative and friend, and can't find anything wrong.

After the funeral, Russell sent Marlena to the sea view room, and had Sylvana to chat with her, which effectively diverted Marlena's attention and did not think about Posigno's death.

Russell and Rand, Chris, and others gathered in the dining hall of the town hotel.

Regarding the air raids of the previous two days, Rand first expressed his opinion.

"The consequence of the US entry into the war is that the whole world is fighting Germany, Italy and Japan, and the culprit is the Japanese side, and their small country also wants to provoke the sleeping lion, which is simply beyond their own strength! Now we're being dragged down. ”

Chris said: "We are indeed being dragged down, but the main reason is that the German army does not trust us, after all, we have several voices within us, recently the voice of our conservatives has become louder and louder, and we have obtained several important nodes in a row, and the German army is afraid that we will escape, and this air raid is intimidation!" ”

"That's right, my uncle said that it won't be long before the Germans will send additional troops into Sicily to prevent the Allies from using Sicily as a springboard to spy on the Mediterranean."

"What do you think, Mr. Corleone?"

Russell smoked a cigar, pointed his finger on the table, and said, "My opinion doesn't matter, in other words, our opinion doesn't matter." How to fight the war is their business, and our goal is very simple, that is, how to survive this war. ”

Although this is suspected of discouragement, it has to be said that Corleone is telling the truth.

Rand and the others looked at each other and nodded in obvious agreement with his statement.

"Mr. Corleone, what do you think we should do?"

Russell crossed his legs and looked around, "Regardless of whether the German army sends more soldiers to Sicily, our first task is to quickly establish cooperation with the German army to ensure that our interests are not damaged." I believe this is what conservative officials are doing. ”

Rand laughed, "Mr. Corleone is right, my uncle is doing this. ”

"Councillor Hagen was very prescient. I suggested that he could solve any worries with money. ”

Rand nodded seriously: "I'll tell him." ”

The intention of the Allies was very obvious, they wanted to capture Sicily, force Italy to lift the fig leaf and surrender, and instead land in Normandy for a decisive battle in the second field.

But the Germans were not vegetarians, and soon figured out the intentions of the Allies, and when talking to Italy, they found that their shoulders were shaking from side to side, so they struck the danger with precision, telling Italy that now we are allies, but if you want to be an enemy, I will make you pay a heavy price!

This frightened Italy, and the Germans sent 300,000 soldiers into Sicily, built fourteen airfields on the island, equipped with 1,400 aircraft, and nearly hundreds of artillery positions, thousands of cannons!
