However, the road was unimpeded, and there was not even a touch of porcelain, which made Russell very helpless.

Since Basini chose to be a smart person, he can't force it, after all, no one wants to seek death.

Russell speculates that the reason why Basini did not choose to retaliate is because of his identity. If Solaso ​​wants to cooperate with Corleone, then nothing will happen to the Corleone family, otherwise the rhythm will be disrupted, and the cooperation will be delayed or terminated.

Peninsula Manor.

villa.

Philisto walked in quickly from the outside and entered the study.

"Godfather, a telegram from Oleiato in Sicily."

Russell took the telegram and checked it.

At this time, the air line from Sicily to all parts of the Apennine Peninsula has been opened, and is currently in contact with European countries. Olijato said that Ankos first contacted France, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The support provided by these three countries is not bad, at least in China. The cost is very reasonable.

Direct flights from Sicily to the UK cost only $300 per seat.

expensive?

Not expensive.

At this time, the war had just ended, and people had no homes to live in, and they still had some valuables in their hands. Besides, the planes were aimed at the rich, so they didn't want to cheat anyone.

On the other hand, Angkers took the time to go to Germany after the defeat, found several large transport planes in Germany, and spent some money to transport them back to Sicily by sea.

The reason for not flying directly to Sicily is that the German mainland is full of Allied forces... Germany has been divided into four pieces.

Chapter 144 Love Horse Passes Away, Free Lunch Is Unpalatable, Ming Pai

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 restricted part of Italy's authority.

No way, although the timing of Italy’s abandonment of the dark side to the bright side is very precise, it was indeed one of the three major Axis powers before, and it is impossible for the four countries to let a few or five youngsters get away with it.

Then there was a decision to restrict the development of civil aviation, which embarrassed Air Sicily, which opened just after the war. Although Sicily is an autonomous region, it also belongs to the country of Italy, so it is also within the restrictions.

If you want to lift it, you have to wait a few years, for example, after 54 years.

But Russell definitely can't wait. He got the news and asked Olijato and Angkers to go to France and the UK to talk to each other about the civil aviation business. A lot of tax relief, and only requires the company to be listed in the Birmingham area.

This is to raise taxes for Birmingham and make the books look good.

In the end, Air Sicily settled in the Birmingham area of ​​the United Kingdom, creating the main airline of Sicily, and Air Sicily is a branch...

As the saying goes, there are right policies above, and countermeasures below.

In mid-October, Air Sicily already had 19 aircraft, 16 Ju-52 known as "Steel Anne", and 1 Me-323, the largest transport aircraft on land at that time!

The 323 successfully carried out its first flight in 42. It has the characteristics of free take-off and landing, and its cruising range can reach 1100 kilometers, which improves its versatility.

However, due to the slightly larger fuselage, it was very cumbersome during the war, and the flying speed was not fast.Since most of the fuselage and wings are made of wood and cloth, even if attacked and penetrated, the flight will 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 long distances when it is full.

Engineers from the Sicilian trade union added 60 seats to the cabin, which can accommodate 65 people including flight attendants!

There are also two c-47s called sky trains produced by Douglas in the United States. It has a maximum speed of 360 kilometers per hour, a battery life of 2600 kilometers, and can carry 11 tons of cargo.

But these two planes cannot take off because they are military transport planes of the US military. Once they take off in Sicily, it is likely to cause disaster.

So the purpose of buying Angkos back is to find something for the engineers of the trade union to do.

Sicily is very peaceful now, but northern Italy is very anxious. The original conservatives are taking precautions. During the war, they forced the palace and emptied the king. Now the war is over and it is time for liquidation.

Vitini and others don't want to be liquidated, so they unite to find various trade unions and prepare for a round of referendum next year...

Since he wants to change the status quo in Italy, Vitini must not forget the God of Wealth who is far away in the United States, and specially sent two telegrams to Russell.

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

It was a deal, and Russell only replied: Nationalization of Sicilian oil fields and all mineral resources is prohibited.

After Wittini got the message, he has not responded yet.

If Italy reforms, the first thing to kill is Russell, who controls all the products of Sicily, such as trade unions, various companies, mineral resources and oil fields, etc...

If he is not dead, the heart of the Italian government is uneasy!

This evening.

Just after the dinner, Russell was having a heart-to-heart conversation with Malena, sipping black tea.

Philisto hurried over from outside.

"godfather."

Seeing this, Malena got up, bent down and picked up the knitting needles and wool from the sofa, and said with a smile, "You talk."

"Ok."

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

"Encrypted telegram from Rome, Italy."

Russell nodded and took it, and took a closer look.

The general idea above is: oil fields and other resources will not be nationalized, but the copper, iron, coal, tin salt mines will all belong to Italy, and the mining company will account for [-]% at most...

Seeing this, Russell smiled with satisfaction.

This is exactly the result he wanted, and Vitini also knew that he would not make concessions on the oil field, so Vitini made a concession himself, and he was full of sincerity.

"Reply tomorrow night and say that the people of Sicily are always ready."

"Okay, Godfather."

Philisto has not been idle these days. He followed Tom to California and found the famous director Waltz.

When they went, Tom advised Philisto not to talk, because he was a bit fierce, and he was afraid of frightening Walzi.

But after seeing Walzi on the set, Tom was shut down and humiliated by language, and moved out of the FBI Director Hoover.

"I know Hoover!" Walzi said sonorously.

Tom froze for a moment, then turned to look at Philisto.

"Go away if you are afraid, I don't care who sent you here, want to threaten me? Want me to give Johnny a chance? Unless I die!"

Tom said, "He said he knew Hoover, Philisto."

Philisto nodded.

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

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

Tom was helpless: "Now you can talk more, things will be done, and I will let Johnny be a free endorsement for a year."

"Three years."

"no problem!"

Philisto smiled when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Walzi and changed his face, directly raised his hand to grab his clothes, and pressed him against the wall.

"Hoover and my boss are good friends, and Clyde has a good relationship with my boss. Do you know Hoover? He asked you to keep an eye on the real guy in California?"

Walzi was so beaten up by this set of combos that she couldn't speak anymore, but looked at Felisto with dull eyes, and nodded slowly.

"I'm going to be a guest at your house tomorrow, I hope you will be more interesting."

"……it is good."

As Tom left, he looked at Philisto and whispered: "The godfather approves of you using this method of doing things? It's too insecure."

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

After hearing this, Walz looked at the assistant in a little confusion.

"who are they?"

"do not know."

"Go and check, you idiot!"

"Ok."

The next day, Wall invited Tom and Philisto to his home, a suburban manor villa, in a very humble manner.

He took them around the manor, showing off his financial resources, and showing off the horses he bought for $60.

"To be honest, the reason why I don't let Johnny participate in the movie I directed is that he ruined my layout plan. The girl I have worked so hard to cultivate for many years was ruined by him!"

Seeing that he was stubborn, Philisto asked, "Do you know who my boss is?"

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

Tommy shrugged, his eyes softening at the idiot.

He has no idea who the person in front of him is... Could it be a simple person who can accompany the Sicilian godfather?

Philisto was speechless. It seemed that Waltz hadn't found out Russell Corleone's name at all, which meant that his sources of information were very bad and only limited to the middle level of society.

That night, Philisto and Tom discussed it without saying hello to Vito, and directly dealt with the matter ruthlessly.

Philisto sent his subordinates to slaughter the steed Walzi bought for $60, and put the horse's head at the feet of the sleeping Walzi.

In the early morning, after Walz woke up, he looked suspiciously at the blood on his hands and lifted the quilt.

Then I saw the bloody horse head...

He screamed in horror, and the sound waves penetrated the wall, frightening the maid next door to tremble and tremble.

"Godfather, Waltz's attitude is very correct now. He strongly requests that Johnny play the leading role in the movie, and everyone who participates in the movie must wear the costume of 'Kachmansha'."

"price?"

"free!"

Russell frowned and shook his head: "No, the free lunch is the worst in the world, because you don't know when you have to pay it back. Tell this great director that we will invest one hundred thousand dollars in the film."

"Ok."

"Do you need a studio? I went to California and found that a lot of studios are in Los Angeles," Philisto said.

"Go and register a company, the name is Kaqimansha Film Investment Company."

"Yes."

"Nivino also sent a telegram. It said that the exported tobacco has been shipped and replaced with brand new packaging. The Duke's black pearl and brandy are also decorated in wooden boxes, which are more high-end than those bought on the market."

Tobacco and alcohol were ordered by Vito Corleone for sale in casinos and private places. They will definitely not pay taxes, but Russell will pay a lot less tax through positive policies, thanks to New York Mayor Fickrello Welfare policies to support the import and export trade industry.

"My subordinates reported the recent whereabouts of Solaso. He has frequent contacts with the Tattaglia family and lives in the hotel of Tattaglia's family. He is under protection. The Tattaglia family and Basini passed Twice phone calls, but the content is unknown."

Russell rubbed his cigarette and said, "Solaso ​​will definitely go back to Vito in the next few days. If Basini took the overall situation into consideration, he would not retaliate against us. He has been able to endure it for so long. It seems that this matter is closely related to him."

"Yes! There must be a reason for abnormal things."

Three days later.

Russell was playing with Vittorio in the courtyard, and Malena leaned out the window and shouted: "Honey, your phone!"

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

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

"Dad, you are using force again."

Russell turned his head and said seriously: "Vido, sometimes force is the easiest way to solve things, but the premise is that your force will make the enemy fearful. If you are far behind, then you will be bullied."

After finishing speaking, Vittorio was left alone to play with the sand, while Russell went to answer the phone.

"Uncle Vito's phone number."

Marlena stood side by side with him, and stood at the door looking at Vittorio who was playing with sand in the courtyard.

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

"You knew Solaso ​​would come to me, didn't you?"

"Since he came to New York, he will look for you. It's very simple."

Vito said: "Sonny said the wrong thing, Solaso ​​found a gap, I think he will try to force us to cooperate."

When he met with So Laso, Sonny saw the benefits from the topic, so he unintentionally interjected and said something. It was because of this sentence that So Laso saw the opportunity to attack the Corleone family.
