After the meal in the London restaurant, Russell boarded the yacht with Marlena and the children, and sailed up and down the Thames, the lights on both sides of the river, and Victor was a little dazed, his attention was all on the women who were in a daze.

Tonight Russell and Victor talked about the topic between men and warned him: a man's attention cannot be taken away by a woman, it will make you regret it for the rest of your life!

Back at home, the children went to their rooms to sleep.

And Marlena and Russell kicked off the annual Christmas Eve Awards.

Don't look at Marlena's age, but she has a different flavor.

Especially when she wears a tight suit and white shirt, black suspender stockings wrapped around her legs, and a pair of black red heels.

Wearing a Christmas gift from Russell, glasses made of gold...... If you hold a whip in your hand, it will be stained, and it really smells like that.

"Marlena, you're very charismatic!"

Marlena took two steps and said, "What's the matter, this dress is so tight that you can see the fat on your lower abdomen." ”

Russell shook his head and said seriously: "That's not fat, this is the bait that wants my life!" ”

Marlena smiled, walked over and took his arm, sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, and said, "The teacher will teach you to learn art tonight." ”

"Good! But I like carving, and it's better to get it off little by little......"

At the age of Xu Lao Banniang, she can have such grace, not because she is the best among women.

Besides, Mallena's charm is only exuded by Russell, and the charm between the smiles is enough to circulate in the heart.

This dress is a work dress designed for women by the 'Kachi Mansha' brand, and now there are already women in the financial, sales and other workplaces in the United States.

Since Roosevelt abolished the prohibition of alcohol, the women who originally thought they had failed finally ushered in victory.

They act as authorities and travel to various associations and industries.

Raising a family is no longer the exclusive right of men!

After the two came out of the bathroom, Marlena sat down at the dresser and patted her face, turning her head from time to time to chat with Russell.

They have been married for more than ten years, and their love is as usual, as if time has only added some wrinkles to their faces and has not caused them cracks in their daily chores.

Over the years, there has never been even a quarrel, and this kind of relationship has made many people envious.

Even Victorio, Katch and Mansa grew up eating limes in the love of their parents, and they can feel that their families are different from other people's families.

Compared to Russell's family, Mike's family is a little worse.

After Apollonia and Mike got married, they had two children, a boy and a girl.

She is indeed Mike's White Moonshine, but Apollonia was diagnosed with a uterine tumor a while ago and has just undergone surgery to remove it in Washington Hospital.

This Christmas, Mike was in a bad mood.

Not only his wife's illness, but also the internal family strife and the matter of his second brother Freddie.

Business needs to be managed, and family needs to be taken care of...... How can you have so much energy?

Sometimes Mike really wants to leave this mess behind, but he can't let his father's hard work be ruined in his own hands, let alone to someone like Freddie!

At the end of the family dinner, Mike and Tom smoke and chat.

"Mike, you're so tired, you should get some rest."

Mike shook his head: "I didn't know that Las Vegas was in the hands of the agent, and there was no change, not even at all!" Hotels are losing money, Tom, can you imagine? ”

Tom was silent. His position is only the head of a law firm, and the rest of the family's business has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't have any right to speak.

"Agents can't be used, I have to manage the hotel myself, and I have to develop the casino."

Tom nodded, "The law firm has contacted Councillor Gray, who has a legal gambling license in his hand. ”

The price of this thing on the market is about twenty or thirty thousand dollars, which is very cheap, as long as you have money, you can get it.

But the important point is whether it can be kept, and how many gangs are peeking at the legal gambling cards?

"Tom, I trust you so much that I ask you to help me investigate Klemenza and Tessio in New York, including their men."

“…… Okay, so do you suspect someone in the family was involved in the assassination of Sonny? ”

"My father told me before he died that besides Carlo, there must be an enemy in the family. Otherwise the enemy would not have been able to build a super-large black factory in New York, right under our noses. ”

Tom frowned, "The enemy's purpose is to put us in conflict with Russell. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll find the guy."

After Apollonia was better, Mike went back to New York and had dinner with the backbone of the Corleone family, such as Clemenza, Tessio, Pantangully, Aitubero, and Joyin.

On the way, Mike completely handed over the gang business in New York to Clemenza and Tessio, which means that the Corleone family is no longer a mafia, but a serious businessman.

It's just that this is Mike's own idea, and the people on the road don't think so.

The mafia is no longer the mafia? It's a Italian joke for sure!

Clemenza and Tessio didn't take it seriously, because they knew in their hearts that it was not so simple to stand up straight and walk out after entering Corleone's door.

Under Aitubero's persuasion, Mike changed his mind about abandoning the gang industry altogether.

Because Aitubero is the godfather of his sister Connie Corleone and an old friend of Vito, they are very close.

"The money you used to make to those old guys, they're very grateful," he said. It's fair to say that they all adore you, but it's sad that you've abandoned them now. ”

"Mike, we are hunters, we can't throw away the knives and guns in our hands, otherwise we will become fish and meat for others to slaughter!"

Sure enough, Mike negotiated cooperation with them as a businessman, asking them to pay for the land in Las Vegas and build a super-large casino, and all the standards were built according to the presidential palace!

With that, everyone joins the group, and Mike focuses on a few people at the party, and then reminds Tom to keep an eye on him.

Soon it was mid-June 1956.

London.

Russell was answering the phone in his study, Nelly was smoking a cigarette by the window, and on the couch sat Cosno, who had been the former head of the Caesars Palace construction site and had been promoted to director of casino and hotel security and assistant manager.

Hanging up the phone, Russell pointed at Kosno and said, "Felistto asked you to go back to Sicily?" ”

"Yes."

Kosino's expression was a little nervous, and he said, "Godfather, I... I made some mistakes. ”

"A few years ago, I teamed up with people from other hotels to make Freddie lose $20 million. Last month Freddie contracted a very bad form of syphilis, and that girl was the one I had arranged. ”

Russell frowned and said, "You don't like Freddie?" ”

"No, Godfather, I have a bit of a grudge against Freddie...... When I was in charge of the construction site of Caesar's Palace, Freddie was Morglin's henchman. Morglin made Freddie get into trouble again and again, tricked me into losing $20,000 at the casino, and gave me a woman. ”

"But the green water that flows from that woman! Luckily I didn't move, otherwise I would have gone to see the Virgin. ”

Russell nodded when he heard this, Freddie used biological weapons to make trouble first, so it was reasonable for Kosno to return the other side.

"You made Freddie lose $20 million? Where did he get the money? ”

"He doesn't have any money, but his brother Mike has money, and if he doesn't pay, we will divide the shares of the hotel," Cosno said. ”

"Mike paid twenty million...... Oh, Kosno, you do things so unsparingly, you are truly a pure Sicilian. ”

Kosno's face turned red, and he rubbed his hands in horror, "Godfather, I'm ...... I'm just not convinced, but I know it's wrong, and I'm at your disposal. ”

At that moment, Kosino's heart was ruthless, and he got up and knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not saying a word.

Russell glanced at him and lit a cigarette.

After the cigarette was smoked, he got up and walked over to Kosno, raising his hand and touching Kosno's head.

"You go to the Middle East and help Nivino."

Cosno excitedly grabbed his godfather's hand and offered a kiss.

"Thank you, Godfather!"

"Let your family go back to Sicily and the Norstin will take care of them."

"Yes!"

Russell waved at Nelly and motioned for him to arrange.

The punishment for Kosno is not too heavy, because the Sicilians will take revenge, and whoever lets Freddy do the first year of junior high school, then there is nothing wrong with Kosino's fifteen.

Freddie is indeed a useless waste, others repaid him in the way he did the game, but he didn't even notice it at all, but fell for it with great interest.

It's like a brave warrior on the bed, and it can be seen that in his eyes, even if a pig comes in the room, he has to find out where the hole is.

After Cosno left, Nelly ran back, knocked on the door and entered the study.

"The Godfather, MI6's Richard White, visited in a private capacity."

Russell nodded: "Let him in." ”

"Okay."

Nelly responded. He had already arranged for Kosno to take a plane to the Middle East in an hour's time, and his family had been sent back to Sicily by Felisto the other day.

A moment later, Richard White walked into the study with a beaming face.

"Mr. Corleone, excuse me."

Russell laughed, "You're a rarity, Richard...... Oh no! Director White, please be seated. ”

"Mr. Corleone, you are well informed, and I am indeed the head of the Sixth Division. Thank you for visiting you. ”

Russell spread his hands and said, "I didn't do anything, everything is your own credit." ”

"No, I'm not going to take credit...... Even if you become a supervisor. Mr. Corleone, I really didn't expect to be in the position of director, even if you said it to me last time, I still don't believe it. ”

"But when the position of supervisor falls on my head, I have to believe it!"

Russell took out two cigars and said, "Smoke a cigar." ”

"Thank you."

"You're here to thank me? But I don't seem to see the gifts. ”

This is a joke, and of course White knows that this not only shortens the distance between the two, but also makes White feel a lot more at ease.

Why? There are two reasons for this.

First, White thought that Russell and Prince Philip were close, and second, he thought that Russell had helped him sit in the position of supervisor.

He laughed, "Mr. Corleone, how could I not come without a gift?" ”

"This time I brought a piece of news about cigars. I heard that you have a cigarette factory in Sicily, so are you interested in Cuban cigars? ”

The revolutionary war in Cuba at this moment began in July 1953 and ended in January 1959.

At first, Fidel led 165 revolutionaries to attack the Moncada barracks on the outskirts of Santiago.

Armed with seized weapons, the liberation application was carried out...... But it didn't work out, and many people died.

Fidel was also arrested and imprisoned.

But this move inspired the Cuban working people to wage a revolutionary struggle against the imperialist monopolies and pillars, the capitalists.

"After Fidel was released from prison, he went to Mexico, where he organized a team, and when the training was over, he was going to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Cuba...... This is a rare opportunity, Mr. Corleone, if you can support Fidel, and then the Cuban cigars will be yours! ”

Russell smiled and said, "Fidel will win in the end." ”

"Yes."

Russell looked at White, and he crossed his legs and took a puff on his cigar.

"Britain and the United States are involved, and your support is enough, why are you looking for me?"

"This is my first time in charge of the business, and to be honest we lack funds. ”

"Then I'm rooting for you?"

White laughed and said, "Don't be kidding, the cabinet will be angry." ”

"Haha...... Cuban cigars are really good, how much do they cost? ”

White looked at Russell's serious appearance and put away his smile, "They need eight million dollars to buy weapons and ammunition, and they need twenty tons of supplies for training." ”

"So what do I get?"

White raised his hand and said, "I assure you, you get 40 percent of Cuban tobacco in the world!" ”

"How's sixty?"

"That's too much, Mr. Corleone, and I invite you sincerely."

"As we all know, I'm a businessman. Usually the greed of businessmen is a bottomless pit, you say the price in your heart, I naturally want to test your bottom line, so how about 55%? ”

White was stunned, and it was a effort to chat with the businessman.

"Forty-five percent, Mr. Corleone, is the largest share I can get in! It's the whole world. ”

Russell smiled: "There are many profiteers behind me, and the interests are not mine, understand?" ”

White had nothing to say but to pretend to be pitiful.

"Mr. Corleone, I've only been in office for a few days...... Whether you can be accommodating and sell me a face, I owe you a favor, I will keep it in my heart. ”

“…… Good. Is there anyone else involved? ”

"Yes, but I can't give it in, and your support will be kept confidential."

After White left, Russell rubbed his forehead.

Forty-five percent of Cuban tobacco was exchanged for $10 million, and it was certainly earned.

However, after the establishment of the new Zhengfu, whether they recognize it or not will have to be said separately.

However, Russell is not worried that the money will rot, after all, White has to sit in the position for 12 years, and with this deal, the business in the UK can also be expanded.

As for Cuba?

Zhengfujun and Haimen Ross seem to have a good relationship.
