Everyone in the room listened to Mike's analysis, and at first they didn't care, but Mike's words were always on point, and they had to pay attention to it.

Mike was punched by Mark at the entrance of the hospital, and he saw Mark killed, and he was severely shocked in his heart, which destroyed his three views and made him re-examine the country of America.

It doesn't seem to be as beautiful as he imagined, rich people want to find ways to have fun, ordinary people can only struggle at the bottom, and fantasize that the goddess of luck will usher in the day of turnover.

Mike felt that his previous thoughts were very ridiculous, and every time it popped up in his head, he could feel the ridicule of the people around him for his ignorance.

"We have to be ready for war, and by noon tomorrow at the latest, the Tartaglia family will have a move. Corfitt's death is not a trivial matter, and the guests will put pressure on it...... And the key is where Luka is. ”

"Tartaglia will find Luca and capture him alive, using him as a breakthrough to bring down our family."

Sonny tilted his head and asked, "So, we're going to find Luka as soon as possible?" ”

"No, we don't look for Luca, even if Tartaglia finds Luca, they can't ask anything, I haven't seen the second one who can communicate with Luca except for my father."

"I've seen Russell communicate with him," Sonny said. ”

"Yes!" Clemenza nodded.

Mike frowned, somehow whenever someone mentions Russell, his heart will be in turmoil, is that fear? No, maybe that's a yearning, a goal!

"On top of that, we have to guard against Solasso's surprise attack, and now without the Buchzio family as a guarantor, don't think about negotiating. Tom, if the family business stops, will we have the extra money to support this war? ”

"Yes, but we'll lose a lot."

Mike said decisively: "You can get it back later." Sonny, give the order. ”

Sonny spread his hands: "You're done, what kind of order will I order." Let's get ready, there is only one way not to bring the war to your family, and I hope Tartaglia will follow the rules! ”

"The consequence of their failure to follow the rules is to be hunted down by the mafia in the United States, and Russell will not let them go." ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slowly.

At dawn, Sonny gets the news of Solazo's death, and he immediately goes to Tom and Clemenza to discuss, and finally believes that Russell did it, and only he can do it so cleanly, even the workers and bosses on duty in the food factory are missing, and there is no clue at the scene.

Solaso's death is not good news, as the Tartaglias have already opened their arms to war.

At around two o'clock in the morning, Corleone's private lottery station was destroyed by fire. Half an hour later, bombs were dropped on three underground casinos, killing six people on the spot and injuring dozens......

Since Klemenza and Tessio moved the buttonmen too late, it was already half past two when they assembled, and they obviously missed the opportunity. However, Klemenza commanded properly, and sent people to kill two members of the Tartaglia family,

The mafia war began, and when the sun loomed, Clemenza found the hiding place of the traitor Pauli, and Rocco Ranpo became the executioner to kill Pauli!

At the time, Paulie died in the basement where he was hiding, and there was no one else around, because the Tartaglia family was also looking for him, because he knew some of the Corleone family's safe houses.

But it wasn't just Poly's conscience that found out, but there was another reason why he didn't tell Tataglia about the location of these safe houses.

Rocco Ranpo was a retired soldier who was wounded and lame in a battle in North Africa with the Desert Fox, a German ace division led by Rommel.

But he was valued by Klaimenza, and after passing the test, he was found to be a reliable, shrewd, and trouble-solving talent.

It was precisely because of Vito's attack and Pauly's rebellion that Lanpo had his early days......

In the days that followed, Ranpo eliminated five executives of the Tartaglia family business, and then he disappeared because Sonny accepted Mike's suggestion to find a new face to find Philip's whereabouts.

"The easiest way to end this war is to kill the enemy's commander, and as long as Philip is dead, the Tartaglia family will not exist," Mike said. ”

Every family has a soul character, the Corleone family is Vito, and the Tartaglia family is Philip.

The newspapers were full of news of the mafia fighting, and the people who wrote the manuscripts seemed to be members of the mafia, and they wrote very specifically and carefully, even how a certain small boss was killed, they wrote it clearly.

The New York police were also busy, calling the police one after another, but the police found nothing.

The mafios, like gophers, disappeared into the ground when they heard the siren, and the gunfire stopped, and when they left, the gunfire went off again.

The chief of the New York Police Department was physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't sleep every night, and the pressure from above, as well as the condemnation of the people, made him sit down as if he had steel nails, and he was uncomfortable no matter how he sits.

These days, Russell reads the newspaper every day, looks at the news on it, and is sincerely happy for Vito, because the Tartaglia family has suffered heavy casualties, and almost no core members of the Corleone family have died, and most of the deaths are button people.

He didn't want to get involved in it, but many of the New York guests panicked and gathered together to discuss how to stop the violence, but there was no outcome at all.

Eventually, New York Mayor William Dwyer, who had just taken office for a few days, contacted the former mayor Fiorello and was reminded by him to visit Russell Corleone in person.

Dwyer was unlucky, as violence erupted in Fiorello's final days in office, but it was not until early January that it officially erupted, leaving the new Dwyer at a loss, as the incumbent guests were dumb and did not give any advice.

Of course, this is also the practice of smart people. Once you adopt someone's suggestion, if you fail, but you have to take the blame, and if you don't do it, you have to take a career in Zhengzhi, who dares to bet?

At this moment, Dwyer was sitting in his study, his attitude was very good, and he wanted to sit on the consultation table opposite Russell's desk, apparently with Fiorello's guidance.

But Russell refused, and since Dwyer respected him, he would also give him some preferential treatment.

"Try the Sicilian cigarettes."

"Thank you, Mr. Corleone."

Dwyer took the cigarette and said, "There are people in the city who smoke these cigarettes, but none of them have given me a taste. ”

Russell laughed and said, "I'll get you some when you leave, so you can taste them with them." ”

Dwyer thanked him repeatedly, and after a little small talk, he talked about the purpose of the time.

Russell sat across from him and was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I only have permanent residency, but I don't belong to the Americans. I don't want to get involved in the game of the New York mafia, let alone persuade them to stop fighting. ”

"Mr. Corleone, if you can't do anything, I don't know who else in New York can stop you......"

"Why are you in such a hurry to stop them? To you, they are like barnacles that grow on whales, don't you die as much as possible? ”

Dwyer said humbly: "But the time of their war coincided with the time when I took office, and the people would think that I was a bad luck mayor." ”

Incompetent Mayor......

Compared to Fiorello, it is simply a heaven and a place, which just brings Fiorello to the top.

"No, the people won't remember this kind of trivial matter, you just need to clear and suppress them after their war is over, and those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be sentenced will be sentenced."

Dwyer asked, "Your advice is to let me go?" After they are done, I will issue a clause to clear the New York mafia, and then work with the New York Police Department to arrest them? ”

"So you have both merit and hard work...... Declare to the outside world that the work of the government is not easy to do......"

Russell didn't need to teach him this kind of hypocrisy, and Dwyer knew what to do.

"Thank you."

Russell shook his head: "I just gave you some advice, and it didn't help you. ”

"No, no, no, you've helped me a lot, thank you, Mr. Corleone."

"I've heard that Fiorello is retired and has nothing to do at home, what do you think of the position of the Administrator of the United Nations Relief Agency?"

Dwyer was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Very suitable!" ”

The two chatted for a moment, and then he got up and took his leave.

Dwyer left with only cigarettes, not the Duke Black Pearl.

Just because he's Irish.

In mid-January, Vito was discharged from the hospital and taken back to his home by Sonny and Clemenza, Tessio and others.

It seems that the war has entered the white heat, because there are not enough people, and the people who protect Vito have been transferred to the battlefield, so Vito is the safest and most appropriate thing to do.

Freddie also returned from Las Vegas, but he looked at his father with some shame, and Vito didn't say anything but told him not to worry about everything.

This made Freddie even more frustrated, and he was the last thing he wanted to see his father comfort, which meant that he was like an ignorant child who had not grown up.

He lived in New York for a few days and then went back to Las Vegas because it was there that he could be himself.

Vito smiled when he saw Mike, holding his hand and not wanting to let go.

"Mike, have you ever interfered in the family's affairs?"

"Got some ideas."

Hearing this, Vito's expression was a little heavy, and he said, "You shouldn't stay in New York." ”

"Go to school?"

Vito shook his head: "As long as you are in the United States, you will not be safe, and if Tataria is forced to be in a hurry, she will probably choose to fall into the abyss with us......"

"You mean they're going to do it to me?"

"Do you think there are any supporters behind the Tartaglia family?"

"Sonny says there have been a lot of new faces lately, as if they were from Rome......

“…… So, you're leaving. ”

"Father, I ......"
