What is weeding and eradication?

As we all know, the roots of grass grow deep and dense in the soil, so if you want to pull out this grass, you have to find all the roots, even the smallest ones.

"Felisto, let your people go on vacation to America."

"Understood!"

Nivino asked, "Godfather, are we going to work in America in the future?" ”

Russell glanced at everyone in the room and said, "Our goal is the whole world, not America or Sicily!" ”

Everyone was red-faced when they heard this, and it was so inspiring that such words came out of the godfather's mouth.

After the meeting, Nivino and Oriatu went to the courtyard to entertain the guests.

Felisto walked around the doorway, turned and pushed the door into the study, walked up to Russell and whispered, "Godfather, Hagen has been waiting outside for a long time. ”

"Let him come to me."

Felisto got up and went outside to call Hagen, which was like seeing a doctor in a hospital, and the patient could only enter the office after the doctor called the number.

Hagen straightened his suit and walked in with a humble face.

Respectfully bowed to Russell.

"Sit down and talk, Hagen, we're familiar with it, don't be so inhibited."

"Okay."

Hagen sat on the sofa opposite Russell, and when he saw Russell take out his cigar, he hurriedly got up and took the lighter out of his pocket, bent down and moved over with small steps, and lit it for him.

Russell sat on the couch with his legs crossed, exhaling smoke.

"How's Rand doing? I don't seem to hear from him in the past six months. ”

Hagen replied: "Rand was transferred from the Sicilian General Staff to the operational command room of the Italian Northern Army, with the rank of colonel, and he was appointed deputy commander of the left staff. ”

Russell, of course, knew Rand's whereabouts, and Rand was able to enter the Northern Army's operations command room, which he asked Vetigny to do.

He wanted Hagen's attitude, and although he had just come in with caution, it was only in deeds, not words.

"Harvey told me that when you were working in Messina, you helped him a lot and taught him a lot of things."

Hagen's face moved slightly, and he said: "Don't dare, Mayor Harvey is very good, and he is deeply loved by the citizens, and I just completed my job as a deputy." ”

Russell didn't say anything, waiting for his next step.

"I heard that Harvey was coming to Catania for a job, a job in Messina...... Godfather, I think I can do a good job. ”

Russell raised his eyes and stared at him, "You just want to do things in Messina?" ”

"Yes, after your reminder, I dare not be greedy."

"Messina is not for you, you should go to Palermo, where there is a lack of administrators in the council chambers."

Hagen was stunned, originally he only wanted to ask for the mayor of Messina, but he didn't expect to ask for a more important position!

"I am so grateful to you, Godfather."

"You deserve it, Rand will be transferred back from Italy when the war is over, understand?"

"Understood!"

After Rand's return, he was the leader of the Sicilian military circles, and nearly half of them were Corleone people in the main realm, and they occupied many important positions.

In the eyes of the Sicilian people, 1945 is known as the 'zero' year, because people finally started a new life.

It is Corleone's efforts to live and work in peace and contentment, and it is Corleone who has helped tens of thousands of displaced people to rebuild their homes so that they will not starve to death.

Corleone was greatly appreciated and respected, and many people were instructed to join in and act as Corleone's informants.

But there are always accidents, unpredictable and difficult to fathom.

It can be seen from the Tulao Solaso incident that he must have bought the Sicilian natives, so he can be airtight.

Even if Russell ordered Felisto to investigate, he didn't find out the reason at first, but fortunately there was Pochi's naval fleet patrolling near the Mediterranean, otherwise there would be no clue at all.

Russell was not angry about this, cause and effect had long been doomed, and when those Sicilians helped the native elders to kill the Sicilians, their fate was already doomed.

Yesterday, Mussolini and his lover Clara first arrived in Milan and then prepared to flee to Switzerland.

At dawn on April 26, Mussolini was waiting for his 3,000 Blackshirts in his hotel, but the sun was high and he had to find a way to escape.

Mussolini then encountered a detachment of evacuating German troops, and he and Clara blended into the ranks of the Germans, trying to get through under the cover of the army.

However, they were stopped by an Italian partisan force that was not supposed to be there, and demanded that the truck be searched, and at the same time asked the Germans to leave the Italians in the truck behind.

And the Germans had long forgotten Adolf's orders, what to protect Mussolini at all costs......

Now they are lost dogs, and their owners are almost finished, and they care about their own lives.

When Mussolini was found, he was shot by the guerrillas, and Clara went with him.

Afterwards, Russell spoke with Rand on the phone that night, and he said that he was going to be promoted to the rank of major general, and expressed his gratitude.

Less than two days after Mussolini's death, the Soviets captured Berlin.

On the same day, the war maniac Adolf saw the end of Germany in grief and despair, and knew that the general situation was over, so he committed suicide with his new wife, Eva.

Most of Adolf's followers chose jade crushes, including Goebbels......

On May 8, Germany surrendered unconditionally, and the instrument of surrender was signed by German Army General Jodel, which will take effect in the early morning of May 9, and the war in Europe is basically over.

Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union finally had time to sit down and talk about how to divide the cake of victory, also to make up for the losses of the country.

evening

Federica is in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes, and Celena and Marlena are feeding the children, apparently just after dinner.

den

Russell sits in a leather swivel chair and tastes the cigarette factory's new blood-orange flavored cigarette.

He looked ahead, Filistto sat on a low couch, reporting the information he had received these days.

The other day, the Mediterranean Cruise Fleet sank three smuggling boats, which the Sicilian daily newspaper reported on in a big way, briefly explaining what had happened and touting the exploits of Commander Pochi.

Then explain to the public that the Turks who smuggled arms were doing things that were endangering Sicily under the banner of the Corleone family, and that they were discrediting Corleone......

After the people found out, they all scolded the Turks, and in just two days, the Turks doing business in Sicily were beaten up, some of the Turks were beaten three times in a day, and when the old people went to the police station to complain, they were actually imprisoned... Let them not make sense at all.

In the end, after the local elders who were doing business in Sicily knew what had happened, they also scolded this gang for smuggling under the banner of Corleone and had children without pelvic bones, and wished them gonorrhea as soon as possible!

Felisto said: "Two of the Sicilian natives who help the Tulao transport company are the drivers of our transport company, they are brothers, and the family situation is very bad, the parents are bedridden all the year round, and the wife is seriously ill...... I sent his parents and wife to the hospital, and the children to school. ”

"Then the two brothers killed the remaining 15 participants with guns, and eventually lost their guns and sank into the Mediterranean."

Russell extinguished his cigarette and asked, "Is there any movement on the island?" ”

"No, they don't seem to know, and they still go their own way...... But in the early hours of this morning, our informant discovered another ship docking on the island, this time five freighters. ”

"The five freighters departed from the Italian port of Tropea and sailed directly to the small island near Filicudi."

Russell laughed and said: "It's good that they bought the Italian roadcar, but they didn't evacuate the island." ”

"Godfather, how do we act?" Felisto asked.

Russell tapped on the table with one hand and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the island, find out who they have bought in Italy, and then go to Turkey to find out where and who grows poppies." ”

"Inform Oriyatu and Nevino that they will come to the town for a meeting the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After Felisto left, Russell sat in his study and planned and deployed.

Leaving Sicily and going to America was already a sure thing, and the most critical issue was how to set up Sicily and house Marlena and her three children.

Sicily belongs to Italy, and with the events of Italy, Sicily will also be affected slightly, but it will not affect Corleone's control of it.

Because Rand had been promoted to major general, and his own son recognized Russell as his godfather, this relationship indicates that the two are already in the same boat. As for the official guests of the Sicilian authorities, they will not be double-faced, because Corleone holds their secrets in his hands, and at the same time provides them with protection and various resources......

The question is, who will run the business of Sicily?

He had five right-hand men, Oriotle, Nivino, Nostin and Encos, Felisto.

Felisto certainly couldn't stay, and his job was to protect Russell and his family, while holding the entire 'legion'.

In addition to going to Eastern European countries to run business and buy land and mineral resources, Oliyatu is also in charge of oil, shipping, gas stations, and labor unions at the same time as Northin.

Nivino was in charge of tobacco and liquor, assisting Ancos in the import and export trade, and in addition to being in charge of minerals, processing plants and land in the western Mediterranean countries.

In this way, no one can preside over the work.

However, in 1899, the United States had transatlantic telephones with Europe, and telephone cables were laid at the bottom of the Atlantic, but they were expensive, and most people chose to shoot telegrams.

Russell had no choice but to remotely control Sicily by telegram or international telephone.

Night falls.

Civina and Federica took their two children back to their rooms to rest, while Corleone slept in the master bedroom with the one-and-a-half-year-old Victoria.

As he got older, Victoria was not as noisy as he was when he was a child, and he only needed to eat a little food before bedtime every night to sleep until dawn.

Tonight, Marlena wore a violet gauze dress, paired with suspender stockings of the same color, and stepped on a pair of black lacquered high heels, showing the wonderful temperament of a married woman.

She stood at the end of the bed and stepped on the bed, raised her hand to hook Russell, and the electric signal from her eyes made Russell pounce.

】

"To... Going to the United States? ”

As Marlena sat on her knees, she trembled slightly when she heard the news.

Apparently stunned by the news.

"Yes, the war is coming to an end, and the United States is a good time to develop, and we can't hide in Sicily for the rest of our lives, we have to see the colorful world."

"I can go, right?"

Russell lay on the bed and interlocked his fingers with her, looking up at her pretty face.

"Originally, I planned to take you and the children over after the United States stabilized......"

Marlena bit her red lip and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead.

"Honey, I'll go wherever you go! No one or anything can break us apart. ”

Russell smiled: "Of course! I have to take you and the child with me, otherwise how can I have peace of mind? ”

Marlena doesn't know much about this, and the reason why Russell wants to take the child to America with her naturally makes some sense.

The reason for this was the events in Italy in 1946, which were the main reasons.

Secondly, because Kutch and Mansa are too young, Russell wants to watch them grow up, and when they go to the United States, they must not let someone who knows the details take care of the children, right?

Only Sylvina and Federica can only be taken with them, and Felisto and Oriyatu will be much more at ease at that time.

"Are we going to immigrate?" Marlena asked.

Russell shook his head: "No immigrants, we are always Sicilians, and we only go to the United States for better development." ”

"So where do the kids go to school?"

"They'll go to a school in Sicily, or a high school in England or France, and then they'll go to college in the United States."

Marlena blinked, playfully raised her hand and scratched his mouth, and said, "They can't speak yet, they have already been arranged by their father, it's really pitiful." ”

"Oh! Honey, I don't mean anything else...... Just teasing, I ......"

Marlena panicked when she thought of saying the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained.

Russell grabbed her hand and smiled, "It's okay, I understand your feelings as a mother." But I'm their father, and our family isn't too ordinary, so they have to study according to my plan, and it's up to them to choose what books and subjects they want to study......"

"They're lucky to have a father like you, Corleone, and I'm lucky to have met you."

"Marlena......

Uh-ang-

Many children don't want to follow their parents' plans, because their parents have planned them too carefully, down to which university to go to, what subjects to study, and how many points they get.

And Russell only planned which country the children would go to study in, so as to ensure that they grew up safely, because they were a member of the Corleone family, and they were destined to have only one fate from birth!

At present, the Corleone family is not completely white in Sicily, but has a gray industry, and Russell plans to sweep away this dust, but it will take time.

On this day, Marlena, Celena, and Federica pushed their three children out to play.

Russell opened the parting meeting in his study at home.

When Oriyatu and the others heard that they would stay in Sicily and not go to the United States with their godfather, they were all a little depressed.

"Godfather, I applied to go to America with you, you only have Felisto by your side, but no one helps you with business affairs......"

Before Nevino could finish speaking, Felisto stood up from the chair against the wall, pointed at him, and said, "Nevino, are you denying my abilities?" Or are you questioning my inability to protect the godfather? ”

Nevino looked at him and pouted, "Don't be cheap, it's obvious that I'm envious of you." ”
