258. Submission of resignation, black hand card and Italian
After Stanley Baldwin became Prime Minister for the second time, he appointed Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer, after which Churchill proposed to reduce defense spending and return the pound to the pre-war exchange rate gold standard!
At the same time, Russell submitted his resignation to the London Police Department in the autumn of 1924, and Director Aiken sincerely retained him, while Russell already had other plans and was not prepared to get involved in the affairs of the London Police Department.
Besides, he had found a way out before he submitted his resignation, and he had been in frequent contact with former cabinet member ClΓ©ment Richard Attlee, a member of the Labour Party and the first Earl of Attlee.
The contact between the two began with the fall of Count Lyins, Attlee and Insk had a personal vendetta, and later Attlee heard that Lyinsk was killed by Russell, so he took the initiative to lean over.
After talking, I also clearly knew Russell's inner thoughts, so the friendship between the two continued to heat up.
Attlee promised Russell help in his bid for a seat in the House of Commons and won Churchill's friendship...... It's a deal between two Masaji allies.
Before Russell left the London Police, he and Aiken had a conversation for more than two hours, with the aim of settling Mensa, Leto, Adolphus, Beechcraft, and others.
These people are Russell's descendants, and Aiken certainly knows it...... So, he left Mensa and Adolphs in the London Police, where they served as Deputy Heads of Criminal Investigation and Deputy Chief of Intelligence of the Intelligence Department, respectively.
As for Laito, Beech, William and others, they were arranged into the local police station.
In the evening of that day, Russell invited Aiken to dinner at the Sunset Restaurant, and the two opened red wine and drove the escort girl away before they began to talk the truth.
"I'm sad that you're leaving, but I know you must have an idea, and the head of the hall is already my apex."
Russell said, "Everyone has their own choice, your choice is to live a comfortable life, and I just want to toss." β
"In such a year, if we don't toss, we won't be able to get each other's places."
Russell nodded: "If you have something that you can't handle, you can directly order Mensa." β
"Okay, I wish you better and better in the future."
"So are you."
Although he and Aiken have some deals, they have a stronger relationship.
The alliance between the two in recent years has made this friendship even stronger, and Aiken introduced many allies and contacts to Russell, and Russell made Aicon's living conditions more superior.
Even within the London Police Department, those who used to disobey Aiken all surrendered to the smell of money.
After the two said goodbye, Russell returned to his villa in the city, which he bought last year for privacy between Tatiana and him.
Tatiana was wearing a Russian aristocratic lady's dress, stepping on a pair of silver high heels, and black stockings with red shrimp thread, which looked even more charming and moving.
"You're still so pretty."
Tatiana exclaimed: "Why suddenly praise me, it surprises me. β
"It's fun, if you like acting, you will know that acting is a supreme art, and he can make a liar an actor."
"Oh! Forgive you for loving movies, so we show a Parisian woman today? β
"Hahaha, of course."
A Woman in Paris is the representative work of the cinematographer Chaplin, and it is a silent film.
However, Tatiana will definitely not pretend to be silent, after all, people must have some special reactions under mental stimulation.
--
January 6, 1925.
Mussolini's cabinet was made up entirely of fascists, and he was firmly in power, but he still felt the need to strengthen his position, so he embarked on a plan to promote his friends and punish his enemies.
He used his influence and power to crack down on opponents of the rule of justice and remove opponents from the government or other positions of influence or prestige.
Even the police forces began to be ordered to carry out mass arrests and destroy houses......
Among them, the punishment of the mafia is more stringent, as long as they are caught, they will be pulled to the gallows, and then sentenced to death, without leaving a trace of face.
Many people were forced to go to the United States, or survive in the Apennine Peninsula, and even a few who slipped through the net could not escape under the dense interrogation and search.
Therefore, the Sabini power that had developed well in London grew rapidly, and many people who could not live in Sicily and the Apennines came to the British Empire to join Sabini.
Chen Nan's trading business was greatly affected, because Sabini was also willing to spend money, so he had more contacts and protection in London, and the most important reason was that Russell Campo was out of class.
As long as Russell is no longer in the London Police Department, then Sabini is sure that the London police will accept his money, and when Russell was in power before, even if he sent money, the police would not accept it, because after being reported, it was really easy to lose his job.
And now the ruthless Russell has resigned, and the London Police Department is mired in corruption......
"Boss, now the Italian gang is gathering idle people, selling cigarettes and guns on the streets, and some people have been summoned to fight underground boxing tournaments, and even the racetrack has returned to Sabini's company......"
Russell listened to Mensa's report and just nodded.
"Sabini was so rampant that after the whole of London was deprived of the Jews, the Italians used it as a toilet and poured all the garbage into it."
Russell lit a cigarette, looked up and asked, "What do you want to do?" β
"Uh, boss, I think Sabini should pay taxes."
Russell smiled: "Paying taxes is a legitimate business, and Sabini looks like a person doing legal business?" β
Mensa scratched his head embarrassedly, "Aren't I looking at my eyes, my former subordinates were defeated, but now they earn more than all of us." β
"Jealousy, then let him have a longer memory. You go and tell Gold to stop cowering in Birmingham and come to London. β
Mensah nodded: "Some time ago, we had a call and he wanted his children to participate in a boxing match. β
"Isn't Sabini in charge of underground boxing? Then let Gold talk about it himself, how much benefit he can talk about, you divide it equally. β
"Boss, I don't want to benefit...... I just wanted to teach Sabini a lesson! β
"Then you go and ask if you want to do it."
"I'm equal with Laito and William?"
Russell spat out his cigarette and said: "You should be equal with the London Police Department, especially where is Aiken to say hello, I have resigned for almost a year, and there is no movement in your position......"
Mensa nodded with a calm face, "Yes, Director Aiken seems to be deliberately suppressing my credit. β
"No, he's protecting you, he's afraid that after I leave, no one will support you, and he's even more afraid that there will be an imbalance within the police department, understand?"
"Understood."
"But it's time for you to change positions."
Mensa looked happy when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, boss." β
Although Russell has no official position now, he still has a strong voice in London, not to mention that Churchill is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, even Attlee of the Labour Party is in the cabinet office, and the errands of the London Police Department are under the control of Aiken, which is as easy as returning to his own home.
It's just that for outsiders, people take tea and cool it, and people who are really powerful and influential will not be cold as long as they live!
Two days later.
Russell received a call from Mensah, in which he thanked Russell for his promotion, saying that he was now the head of the Special Operations Department.
He also said that Gold would come to London today and ask to meet Russell, and there seemed to be something in a hurry.
Russell knew what was going on, and the day before yesterday he received a call from the Birmingham Police Department, and the current commissioner said that they had received a black hand card, and it was clear that the mafia had come to the door.
Russell called Beechcraft, who told him about Changaret's death and executed Feldman, who had killed Chancellor.
But the Shanglet family will certainly not give up, and this will not be a long way from the United States to England.
Evening.
Russell leaves the villa where he was happy with Tatiana and drives to New Chinatown alone.
Now the boss of Chinatown is still Chen Nan, and his business is very large, in addition to maritime trade, there are also restaurants and shopping malls...... It can be said that half of Chinatown is under his name.
Chen Nan is very kind, he did not bully his compatriots, and gave them a lot of benefits, from which it can be seen that Chen Nan was deeply influenced by Russell.
A Chinese restaurant.
Chen Nan personally cooked and placed six dishes on the table.
"Mr. Campo, can you taste this pork chop......"
Russell nodded: "Is anyone under you idle?" β
"Yes! As soon as you give the order, even if I am at sea, I will come back as soon as possible. β
"The opponent is the mafia."
"Mafia? Didn't they all be killed in Italy, and there was still a remnant of their sins? β
Chen Nan was taken aback.
To be honest, he didn't want to clash with the mafia, after all, these people were all family-style development, like the big clans in the ancient eastern country, and the fight was simply endless.
"Scared?"
"No, Mr. Campo, I am not afraid, but a little surprised, because these mafias have been killed in Italy."
Russell shook his head: "At any time, a fishing net cannot catch all the fish in the river on the boat, and there are always fish that escape." β
"Yes, you're right, what do you want me to do?"
"You just need to send someone to keep an eye on these Italians who have come ashore, and other things will be taken care of by others."
"Okay."
Russell lit a cigarette and said, "You and my son Adolphus are in frequent contact, what are you planning?" β
Chen Nan was stunned for a moment and said, "Adolphus wants to hire a few Tang people to serve in the police department in Chinatown. β
"He thinks like that?"
"Yes."
"It's too early to reject him first, and it's not good for his future development."
Chen Nan didn't ask why, but nodded directly in agreement.
After Russell left, Chen Nan immediately gathered his henchmen and asked them to go to the port to investigate the newly arrived Italian-Americans.
No matter what their identities are, they must send people to monitor, and in the spirit of the mentality that they would rather kill mistakes than let go, in just two days, Chen Nan found out more than 30 people.
There must be a mafia among these people, as for screening? There is no need at all, because the mafia will definitely gather in one place, and when the time comes, these people will be circled out, and the whereabouts of the mafia will be found.
Before Chen Nan could hand over the list to Russell, Russell met with Gold.
It had been three days since Gold had been in London, and the reason Russell had not seen him was because he wanted him to contact Sabini first.
Three days was enough time for Gold to negotiate with Sabini.
A manor house near Wadi Park.
There is a breeding farm in the manor, and at this moment Russell and Shirya, Ai Yin and others are training horses.
Mei and Grace stood next to the courtyard, staring at the man on horseback, their hearts were at peace, for these two women, since they had chosen, they could not regret it.
Besides, there is no chance to regret it, after all, Russell gave too much, as long as they are demanding, Russell can give and feed them to their heart's content.
"Mr. Campo, someone sent a black hand card to the old house in Birmingham."
Russell took the card and said, "I have received a lot of this kind of black hand card in London, and they have sent one to each of my family members. β
"You command, I'll shoot."
Gold was not faithful, having been in charge of the Camptown Racecourse in Birmingham since he stepped down from the Coal Company, and now his appetite grew up because Gold's sons had grown up and they needed the estate.
And the closest property to the Gold family is in the hands of Russell, if he doesn't show more in front of Russell, where can he perform?
"Wait for news."
"Okay."
After Gold left, Russell turned to look at the women who were following him, they had all received black hand cards, but they didn't show their frightened faces, and they had to do the same thing as before.
Ai Yin is a heartless little princess, and Sylya, as a mature eldest sister, must also be extraordinary, otherwise she would not have taken care of the company so well.
In particular, Eavis has dared to carry Russell behind his back and help Shirya do something.
That's progress!
If Eavis dared to sneak around Russell behind his back before? Can't.
Why dare now? There must have been something he feared.
"You've been living in this manor lately, waiting for things to be over, and then you'll do whatever you want."
Ai Yin smiled and said, "Dad, I want to go to the movies!" β
Russell said: "Grace went to the CinΓ©math's guys and asked them to come to the estate to show the film. β
"Okay."
"Wow, Dad...... But I want to go to the cinema. β
Hirya frowned and said, "Do you want to build you a movie theater in the manor?" β
"Don't! I'm kidding. β
Mei came over and said, "Will they do something to the company?" β
"No, the mafia is a group of people who will take revenge, their opponents are people, and they will only retaliate by conventional means."
The conventional means are assassination, shooting, undercover ......
Two days later.
Russell left a few women behind and drove to the coal company alone.
On the way, he saw several men in black suits, all of them spaghetti faces.
He is very familiar with these people, and he has a feeling that he can't say clearly, and even wants to laugh inexplicably in his heart.
Russell stopped and walked over to a newsstand and grabbed two newspapers.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a man in a bowler hat, a black trench coat and leather shoes standing next to him, bending down to pick up the newspaper from the newsstand.
He grabbed a newspaper and turned his head to meet Russell's eyes.
Both smiled.
