143, the horse is gone, the free lunch is unpalatable, and the card is open

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France successively issued several treaties against the defeated countries Germany and Japan, which also limited part of Italy's authority.

There is no way, although the timing of Italy's abandonment of darkness and light is very accurate, it is indeed one of the three Axis powers before, and it is impossible for the four countries to let the two or five go unpunished.

The decision to restrict the development of civil aviation was a disastrous decision to impose an embarrassment on Sicily, which had opened just after the end of the war.

If you want to lift, you have to wait a few years, such as after 54 years.

But Russell definitely can't wait, he got the news and asked Oriyatu and Ankos to go to France and England to talk to each other about civil aviation companies, France gave the conditions in general, the British Birmingham area gave the conditions are much better, can reduce a lot of taxes, and only ask to hang the company in the Birmingham area.

This is to give Birmingham more tax revenue and make the books look good.

Eventually, Sicilian Airlines settled in the Birmingham region of the United Kingdom and created Sicily Main Airlines, with Sicilian Airlines as a division......

As the saying goes, there are right strategies and countermeasures.

By mid-October, Sicilian Airlines already had 19 aircraft, 16 Ju-52s, known as the 'Steel Annie', and 1 Me-323, the largest transport aircraft on land at that time!

The 323 made its first successful flight in 42 years, and it has the characteristics of free take-off and landing, and the cruising range can reach 1100 kilometers, which improves versatility.

However, due to the slightly larger fuselage, it appeared bulky in wartime and did not fly fast. Since most of the fuselage and wings are made of wood and cloth, even if attacked and penetrated, the flight does not cause loss of control and is easy to repair......

The cabin can carry armored vehicles or tanks, and can also accommodate a company of about 130 people, but it is not easy to transport over long distances when it is full.

The engineers of the Sicilian Union added 60 seats to the cabin, which can accommodate 65 people, including flight attendants!

There are also two C-47s produced by Douglas in the United States, known as air trains, which have a maximum speed of 360 km/h, a range of 2,600 km, and can carry 11 tons of cargo.

But these two planes cannot take off, because they are military transport planes of the US military, and once they take off in Sicily, they are likely to invite disaster.

So the purpose of Encos buying it back was to find something to do for the union's engineers.

Now Sicily is calm, but northern Italy itself is very anxious, and the original conservatives are on guard, before in the wartime, they forced the palace and set up the king, and now the war is over and it is time to reckoning.

Vetigny and the others didn't want to be liquidated, so they banded together to find the unions and prepare for a referendum next year......

Since he wanted to change the status quo in Italy, Vetini could not forget the God of Wealth in the United States and sent two telegrams to Russell.

The telegram stated that if Russell could support his friend Nkori, then Wittini would be able to put Chris in the cabinet, and Hagen and Harvey would be able to go further.

It was a deal, and Russell only replied: Sicily's oil fields and all mineral resources were forbidden to be nationalized.

After Wittini got the message, he still hasn't replied.

If Italy reformed, the first thing to be killed would be Russell, who controlled all the products of Sicily, such as the trade unions, the various companies, the mineral resources, the oil fields, and so on......

If he doesn't die, the heart of the Italian government is uneasy!

This evening.

Just after dinner, Russell was talking to Marlena, sipping black tea.

Felisto hurried from outside.

"The Godfather."

Seeing this, Marlena got up, bent down and picked up the knitting needles and yarn on the sofa, and said with a smile, "You talk." ”

"Okay."

After she left, Felisto sat down and took out a telegram from his bag.

"Encrypted message from Rome, Italy."

Russell nodded and took it, taking a closer look.

The gist of the above is that oil fields and other resources will not be nationalized, but the copper, iron, coal, tin and salt mines will all belong to Italy, and the mining companies will account for 30% at most......

Seeing this, Russell smiled with satisfaction.

This was exactly what he wanted, and Vitini knew he wasn't going to compromise on the oil field, so he made concessions himself, and with all sincerity.

"Tomorrow evening, I will reply that the people of Sicily are always ready."

"Okay, Godfather."

Felistto is not idle these days, he followed Tom to California and found the famous director Walz.

When he went, Tom advised Felistto not to speak, as he was a bit fierce and afraid of scaring Walzi.

But after seeing Walzi on the set, Tom went straight to the closed door, and was verbally humiliated, and moved out of the FBI Director Hoover.

"I know Hoover!" Walzi said sonorously.

Tom was stunned and turned to look at Felisto.

"If you're afraid, leave quickly, I don't care who sent you here to threaten me? Want me to give Johnny a chance? Over my dead body! ”

Tom said, "Felisto, he said he knew Hoover. ”

Felisto nodded.

"Why don't you say a few words?"

"You tell me to talk less and don't scare this idiot."

Tom was helpless: "Now you can say more, things are done, I will let Johnny do a free speech." ”

"Three years."

"No problem!"

Felisto smiled, turned his head to look at Volzi, changed his face, and directly raised his hand to grab his clothes and press him against the wall.

"Hoover and my boss are good friends, Crade and my boss have a good relationship, do you know Hoover? He made you stare at the California regulars? ”

Walzi was a little unable to speak because of this set of combos, but looked at Felisto with a blank gaze and nodded slowly.

"I'll be a guest at your house tomorrow, I hope you'll be more interesting."

“…… Good. ”

As Tom left, he looked at Felisto and whispered, "The Godfather approves of you using this method to do things?" It's so unstable. ”

Felisto didn't care so much and said loudly: "Violence is the most convenient way to deal with such idiots!" ”

Later, when Walzi heard it, he looked at his assistant with a little confusion.

"Who are they?"

"I don't know."

"Go check, you idiot!"

"Okay."

The next day, Wall humbly invited Tom and Felistto to his home, a suburban manor house.

took them around the manor, showing off their financial resources and showing off the horses they bought for $600,000.

"To be honest, the reason why I didn't let Johnny participate in the movie I directed was because he ruined my layout plan, and the girl I had worked so hard to cultivate for many years was ruined by him!"

Seeing that he was not changing, Felisto asked, "Do you know who my boss is?" ”

"Of course you know, the Corleone family is very powerful in New York, but this is California!"

Tommy shrugged, his eyes softened at the idiot.

He had no idea who the man was in front of him...... Can you accompany the Sicilian godfather, can you be a simple person?

Felisto was speechless, and it seemed that Walzi had not found Russell Corleone's name at all, which meant that his sources were terrible, and they were limited to the middle of society.

That night, Felisto and Tom discussed it, and they didn't say hello to Vito, so they just took care of it.

Felisto's subordinates slaughtered the horse that Volzi had bought for $600,000 and put the horse's head at Walzi's feet.

Early in the morning, when Walzi woke up, he lifted the quilt with a suspicious look at the blood on his hands.

Then I saw the bloody horse's head......

He screamed in terror as the sound pierced the walls, and the maid next door trembled and trembled.

"Godfather, now Walzi's attitude is very good, he strongly demands that Johnny play the lead role in the movie, and everyone who participates in the movie has to wear the costume of 'Kachi Mansha'."

"Price?"

"It's free!"

Russell frowned when he heard this, and shook his head: "No, the free lunch in the world is the most unpalatable, because you don't know when you want to return it, tell the big director, we will invest 100,000 US dollars in the film." ”

"Okay."

Felisto said: "Do you need to set up a film company? I went to California and found a lot of studios in Los Angeles. ”

"Go register one, and it's called Kachimantha Film Investment."

"Yes."

"Nevino also sent a telegram saying that the exported tobacco had been loaded into the ship, and that it had been repackaged in brand new packaging, and that the Duke's black pearls and brandy had been decorated in wooden boxes, which were more high-end than those bought on the market."

The tobacco and liquor were ordered by Vito Corleone for sale in casinos and private establishments, and they certainly wouldn't pay taxes, but Russell would have paid a lot less through the right policy, thanks to New York City Mayor Ficrelo's welfare policy to support the import and export trade industry.

"My subordinate has reported on Soraso's recent whereabouts, he has been in frequent contact with the Tartaglia family, and he is staying in the Tartaglia family's hotel, and he is under protection. The Tataglia family and Basiñi spoke on the phone twice, but the contents are unknown. ”

Russell rubbed his cigarette and said: "Solaso will definitely go back to Vito these days, if Bassini takes care of the overall situation, he will not retaliate against us, he can endure it for so long, it seems that this matter is closely related to him." ”

"Yes! There must be a reason why things go wrong. ”

Three days later.

Russell was playing in the courtyard with Victoria, and Marlena leaned out of the window and shouted, "Honey, your phone!" ”

"Okay, I'll take it right away."

Russell patted Victoria's ass and said, "This is my territory, you are not allowed to invade, otherwise I will come back and beat your ass." ”

"Dad, you're using force again."

Russell turned his head and said seriously: "Victor, sometimes force is the easiest way to solve things, but only if your force will make the enemy fearful, if you are very backward, then you will be bullied." ”

After saying that, Victorio was left alone to play in the sand, while Russell went to answer the phone.

"Uncle Vito's call."

Marlena staggered with him, standing at the doorway and looking at Victoria playing in the sand in the courtyard.

Russell picked up the microphone, "I'm Russell." ”

"You already knew Solaso was coming for me, didn't you?"

"Since he's in New York, he's going to look for you, that's pretty simple."

"Sonny said the wrong thing, Solaso found a gap, and I think he'll find a way to force us to cooperate," Vito said. ”

When he met with Solaso, Sonny saw the interests from the topic and inadvertently interjected to say something, and it was precisely because of this sentence that Solaso saw the opportunity to attack the Corleone family.

The reason for this is that since his father Vito is unwilling to cooperate, and the new faction led by Sonny is willing to cooperate, then kill the old guy and let Sonny take the throne...... In this way, wouldn't the cooperation be successful?

But Solaso did not empathize, he did not know what the character of a real Sicilian was.

If Vito is really dead, then Sonny will launch a crazy revenge and never die.

"Uncle Vito, I suggest you throw your chips first."

"So, I sent out the bravest warriors in the house. He will infiltrate the Tartaglia family, gain information, and take out Solaso and Tartaglia. ”

Russell frowned silently, "You asked Luca to be a spy?" Uncle Vito, it looks like you're really old. I'll admit that Lukka is a good killer, but he's definitely not a good spy, especially since he's so sick that he can't even tell the most basic conversations......"

Hearing this, Vito was also a little silent.

After a moment, Vito said, "You're right, I'm really old and old." So what do you think to do? ”

"To be honest, I came to New York with the goal of killing Solaso and his partner, but they were very hidden, I only found two people, and I don't know where the rest were hiding."

Russell paused: "My guess is that Brazili was involved, and if Brazili hadn't retaliated against me at the end of December, then he must have been one of the masterminds." ”

Vito suddenly said, "Did you doubt it at Connie's wedding?" ”

"Yes. At that time, I had only been in New York for two months, and I was focusing all my energy on investigating, except for opening a company and doing business. Uncle Vito, you should know that Solaso transported poppies in Sicily under the banner of Russell Corleone, and made the influence of hemp, if this matter breaks out, how can the people of Sicily trust me? ”

Vito said in a deep voice: "We shouldn't talk about this kind of thing on the phone, but find a secluded place to talk about it in detail, but we can't touch it lately. I had a hunch that it was going to rain heavily in the quiet skies of New York. ”

"Yes."

"Alright, it's time for me to make some arrangements. How about I invite you and Marlena to our house for dinner on Christmas Day? ”

"Of course, Marlena and I will come with gifts."

After hanging up.

Russell took a cigar out of a drawer and lit it, tasting a slight hint of cocoa, nutty and a moderate amount of spice, and it felt very smooth.

As supple as he had planned!

In the movie, Vito, Mike, and Sonny are all in the dark by Bassini, and it becomes a movie-specific, montage-like suspense element.

Now, Russell has straightened the cards and let Vito see most of the board.
