1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 545, Nero

According to the news in the newspaper, President Roosevelt will come to Philadelphia in a week to attend the opening ceremony of the Rockefeller Library donated by Mr. Rockefeller. Compared with the original history, Rockefeller learned to pretend to be good people earlier than before because of the influence of Scrooge. Although the gap between him and Scrooge when it comes to the technology of pretending to be human is still quite obvious, although he sometimes does some not so good things without finding a good scapegoat, such as suppressing strikers, but Compared to his original historical practice of allowing mine guards to directly drive on armored vehicles and set up water-cooled heavy machine guns to shoot strikers, Rockefeller’s practice is still much more restrained. His mine guards are still there. Compared with the original history, the weapons in his hand are not much or even more, such as the so-called “humanitarian chemical weapons” newly produced by the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company. -Tear gas. However, the situation where the mine guards directly acted with the workers and caused a large number of workers’ casualties is much lacking. However, don’t think that workers have reduced their casualties because of Scrooge’s invention. They established yellow labor unions, wooed workers and nobles, provoke conflicts between workers in different industries, and used the means of workers against workers to bring troubles to workers. The damage here is no less than in history.

However, they were all caused by the rude and savage workers who hadn’t read the book. They had nothing to do with Mr. Rockefeller. In addition, Mr. Rockefeller had the advantage of being kind, so on the whole, although everyone They all feel that although Mr. Rockefeller is a little overbearing in business, he is still a good person and a good and devout Christian.

Recently, Rockefeller donated a library in Philadelphia. Mr. Rockefeller has always had a good relationship with the Republican Party. Therefore, President Roosevelt had long agreed to go and cheer him. In addition, there are also rumors that Mr. Rockefeller is a little dissatisfied with the new bill proposed by President Roosevelt, and even has some opinions about the Republican Party. Therefore, Mr. President has to go over and talk with Mr. Rockefeller in order to eliminate misunderstandings between the two sides.

Rockefeller’s library was built next to Fairmont Park in Philadelphia. It is an ancient Greek-style building. A week later, President Roosevelt will deliver a speech in the small square in front of the library. As one of the security measures, the Philadelphia police have conducted close surveillance on nearby buildings within 600 meters.

Ciss had been nearby to observe several times. He certainly noticed that high-rise buildings within 600 meters seem to have police monitoring points, and the police are now investigating foreigners temporarily living in these places. However, Sith did not intend to do anything in these places. He planned to choose a building about 900 meters farther away as the shooting point. Although it takes almost two seconds for the bullet to fly to the target at such a distance, the president is giving a speech anyway. It is impossible for him to move a position irregularly every second while speaking on the podium, right? Of course, firing at such a distance, it is difficult to guarantee that a shot will hit the center of the eyebrow, as the Sith always likes. But this is not a big problem. The power of 0.50 caliber bullets is far from that of 0.30 caliber (7.62 mm) bullets. Even if it is 900 meters away, as long as it hits the torso, this bullet can easily tear the design target in two. Simply put, as long as it hits the torso, the target cannot have any chance of surviving.The only trouble is that because the buildings at a distance of 600 meters have been abandoned, these buildings have become obstacles blocking the shooting boundary. So there are very few buildings left for Sith. And such a building is not easy to find, and the distance to another hotel is very suitable, but the shooting range is too small, and it is possible that the target cannot be seen at all. There are also a few office spaces belonging to some important companies. People come and go, and they are useless at all. If nothing else, it is definitely not easy to bring a large box into this place without attracting the attention of others. As for spending half an hour rushing to install it, and then debug it well, it will be even more difficult if it is not discovered by others. So after going around all day, Sith still didn’t find any suitable place.

In the evening, Sith, who had not found a suitable location, came to the Rockefeller Library again, where there was a tram stop. While waiting for the tram, Sith inadvertently looked in the other direction. There was Fairmont Park, the largest urban park in the United States. Approximately a kilometer away from here, there is a very tall oak tree, which is obviously a lot taller than the surrounding trees…

…

The most magnificent and bright cathedral will also have a dark shadow, as does any glorious city, and Philadelphia is no exception. This shadow is the underground economic world of Philadelphia. Casinos, narcotics, and women are commodities in this underground economic world. Like any market, the result of free competition is the emergence of monopoly. The underground market is no exception. Don Cross is the king of this underground world.

This immigrant from Italy (if Sicily can count as Italy) now has such a prominent nickname in the dark world of Philadelphia: Nero.

There are only wrong names in the world, no wrong nicknames. The Nero of the dark world is no exception. As early as more than a decade ago, Don Cross had fought fiercely with the largest gang in Philadelphia at the time for the drug business underground in Philadelphia. In this battle, Don Cross not only used the pistols and submachine guns commonly used in gang rushing, but when it was critical, he even used a bluff to lead the opponent into an ambush, and then used several prepared water-cooled Macdonalds. The crossfire of the Nano Heavy Machine Gun completely solved the problem. It is said that in the midst of the shooting of MacDonald’s heavy machine guns, looking at the opponent who was constantly being torn apart by bullets in the firepower net, Don Cross excitedly recited Byron’s poems, just like Nero was in the fire of Rome. It’s the same as reciting Homer’s poems.

“Heavy machine guns are much easier to use than submachine guns!” This is the first truth Don Cross taught to the dark world of Philadelphia.

But if he only knows to shoot with a heavy machine gun, Don Cross may be able to ascend the throne of the dark world, but it is absolutely impossible to stay on it for too long. In this chaotic abyss, betrayal and killing are the basic principles. It is impossible to solve all the problems by only relying on the McDonald’s water-cooled heavy machine gun. So Don Cross has been able to sit firmly on the throne of the dark world in Philadelphia for other reasons. The reason for this is the following principles:

First, respect the guys who can make heavy machine guns. Understand that even the king of the dark world is only the king of the dark world. Just as the shadow must follow the movement of the body, the king of the dark world must also obey the king of the light world. If you don’t understand this and try to arrogate your own duty, it must be a dead end.

Second, remember that no matter what kind of business you are doing, you must remember to pay taxes to the government. The tax department is not comparable to the police department. The police department is often fooling people, but the tax department is different. They are the foundation of the entire state apparatus. From the current point of view, Amei, you see that although the United States has many problems, it is clearly developing upwards. In such a country, the tax department is absolutely not to be humiliated, and it is very actionable. As a matter of fact, once any country has the tax authorities incapable of action, it is not far from subjugation.

Just a few days ago, almost all the guys wandering in the dark world of Philadelphia got the order of Don Cross: Keep your eyes open and see if anyone is going to Philadelphia to make trouble.

No one knows why Don Cross issued such an order. In fact, no one dared to ask this Nero even if there were any doubts. However, the order of the king of the dark world must be executed seriously. Everyone in the dark world of Philadelphia knows that Nero is not a magnanimous monarch, those who dare to disobey him, or dare to ignore him. What kind of end the guys of the will have ended up. It is said that some concrete piers used to slow the impact of the waves outside the breakwater in the Port of Philadelphia contain some very strange ingredients-the corpses of those who offended Don Cross were stirred by a mixer.

Therefore, almost the entire dark world has taken action, from prostitutes standing on the street with exaggerated red lips, to illegal hawkers who secretly sell all kinds of narcotics, to… all eyes widened. In a sense, it makes sense that Don Cross never put the police department To put in one’s eyes. Just as far as the control of the city is concerned, the mobilization ability of the dark world is obviously more than that of raising. A lot of waste in the Philadelphia Police Department.

Therefore, the first day Sith arrived in Philadelphia, he fell into the eyes of the caring people. Because of hotels, hotels, etc., it is naturally easy to get in touch with certain dark industries. Even in the later generations of Chitu, many people know when they go out to stay in a hotel. If you go to a hotel alone and don’t want to be harassed to sleep, you must remember to unplug the telephone line in the room. , Otherwise it will be easy to have calls for special services coming in continuously.

However, Sith did not attract much attention at first, but today’s inspection of other hotels by Sith immediately attracted more attention, so soon, the information was sent to Nero.

“You mean that guy is suspicious?” Don Cross asked.

“Yes, we think this guy is probably here to make trouble.” A subordinate replied.

“You are not sure? Then why don’t you ask that gentleman? You are still waiting for the arrest warrant in the court?” Don Cross asked?

“Boss, I’ll do it right away.” The subordinate replied immediately. In the dark world, no evidence is needed to do things, and no arrest warrant is needed.
