Mike sitting in the corner crossed his legs, observed their expressions, spread his hands and said, "We have never wanted to attribute the cause of the matter to Russell Corleone. Why? You are afraid of him, afraid of him. ?"

Sonny looked up at him, wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, the rest including Tom were speechless.

Mike really hit their hearts, and he was really afraid of Russell Corleone, not because of his relationship with Vito, but because Russell was the godfather of Sicily!

This means that Russell has rights beyond their imagination. Clemenza and Tessio and their subordinates have relatives in Sicily...

Is it necessary to put the hat of the culprit on the head of the Sicilian godfather?

How can their relatives continue to live in Sicily?Fear of being drowned in saliva.

"What did Russell come to New York for? Sonny."

Sonny looked up and said, "Father said he was looking for someone."

"So he came to look for So Laso. The information we got is roughly the same as what Russell said. He didn't lie. But I don't believe that all these things happened naturally. Is there his manipulation behind it? "

Tom leaned against the window, heard this, opened his mouth and said: "The assassination of the godfather was not controlled by him. I heard the godfather and him talking on the phone a few days ago. They talked a lot. I didn't hear the specific content clearly, but I'm sure He will not order his subordinates to assassinate the godfather."

Clemenza nodded: "Yes, the killers who attacked the godfather were two novices. They shot to the body, but missed the vital point, and they passed Freddie. If it was Russell's man, he would definitely not commit a crime. Such a low-level mistake."

Tessio added: "Nor will our people."

At some point, Mike had an extra cigarette in his hand. He put his arm on the armrest of the sofa, and calmly analyzed: "Since Russell came to New York to find So Laso, So Laso doesn't need us to take care of him. But Tata Bruno of the Lia family is dead, Philip won't let it go easily..."

Chapter 154 The mayor seeks a consultation, the war of the mafia

Everyone in the room listened sideways to Mike's analysis. At first they didn't pay attention, but Mike's words were always on point, so they had to pay attention.

Mike was punched by Mark at the entrance of the hospital, and saw Mark was shot to death with his own eyes. He suffered a serious blow to his heart. This destroyed his three views and made him re-examine the country of America.

It doesn't seem to be as beautiful as he imagined. The rich want to find ways to enjoy themselves, while ordinary people can only struggle at the bottom, imagining that the goddess of luck will usher in the day of recovery.

Mike felt that his previous thoughts were very ridiculous. Every time they popped up in his mind, he could feel the ridicule of his ignorance from the people around him.

"We have to be ready for war. The Tattaglia family will take action at noon tomorrow at the latest. It is not a trivial matter that Kofit died, and the real people will put pressure... The key is where Luca is. .”

"Tatalia will find Luca, capture him alive, and use him as a breakthrough to destroy our family in one fell swoop."

Sonny tilted his head and asked, "So, we need to find Luca as soon as possible?"

"No, we're not looking for Luca. Even if Tataglia finds Luca, they won't be able to ask anything. Except for my father, I have never seen anyone who can communicate with Luca."

Sonny said: "I have seen that Russell can communicate with him without barriers."

"Yes!" Clemenza nodded.

Mike frowned. Somehow, as long as someone mentioned Russell, his heart would be in chaos. Is that fear?No, maybe that is the yearning, the goal!

"Besides, we have to guard against Solasso's raid. Now that there is no Buccichio family as a guarantee, don't think about negotiating. Tom, if the family's business stops, we have surplus funds to support this war ?"

"Okay, but we're going to lose a lot."

Mike said decisively: "You can get back what you lose later. Sonny, give the order."

Sonny spread his hands: "You've finished talking, what kind of orders should I issue. Prepare for yourself, the only one is not to lead the flames of war to your family, I hope Tataria will abide by the rules!"

Tessio said: "If they don't abide by the rules, they will be hunted down by the mafia all over the United States, and Russell will not let them go."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slowly.

At dawn, Sonny got the news of Solaso's death. He immediately went to Tom and Clemenza to discuss it, and finally decided that Russell did it, and only he could do it so cleanly. Even the workers on duty in the food factory and The boss has disappeared, and there is no clue at the scene.

Solaso's death is not good news, because the Tattaglia family has already swung its arms to fight.

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

Since Clemenza and Tessio mobilized the buttonmen too late, it was already 02:30 when they assembled, obviously missing the opportunity.However, Clemenza commanded well and sent someone to kill two members of the Tattaglia family.

This is the beginning of the mafia war. When the morning sun appeared, Clemenza found the hiding place of the traitor Pauli, and Rocco Lanpo turned into an executioner to kill Pauli!

At that time, Paulie died in the basement where he was hiding, and there was no one else around. The reason was that people from the Tataglia family were also looking for him, because he knew some safe houses of the Corleone family.

But it wasn't just Paul's conscience that found out, there were other reasons, he didn't tell Tattaglia the location of these safe houses.

Rocco Lanpo is a retired soldier. He once fought fire with the German ace division Desert Fox led by Rommel in the North African battlefield, and was injured and limped because of this.

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

It is precisely because of Vito's attack and Pauli's rebellion that Lanpo's success comes...

In the next few days, Lanpo successively killed five executives of the Tattaglia family business, and then he disappeared. The reason was that Sonny accepted Mike's suggestion and found a new face to find Philip's whereabouts.

Mike said: "The easiest way to end this war is to kill the enemy commander. As long as Philip is dead, the Tataglia family will not exist."

Each family has a soul, the Corleone family is Vito, and the Tataglia family is Philip.

The newspapers are full of mafia fighting news. The people who wrote the manuscripts seemed to be members of the mafia. They wrote very carefully. They even wrote about how a certain little boss who was killed was killed. Clearly.

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

Those mafias were like gophers. When they heard the siren, they burrowed into the ground and disappeared, and the gunfire stopped. After they left, the gunfire rang again.

The chief of the New York Police Department was exhausted physically and mentally, and couldn't sleep every night. The pressure from above and the condemnation of the public made him feel like a steel nail was born in the seat where he sat, making him uncomfortable no matter how he sat.

These days, Russell reads the newspaper every day, looking at the news on it, and is sincerely happy for Vito, because the Tataglia family suffered heavy casualties, while almost no core members of the Corleone family died, and most of the dead were buttons. detain people.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but many serious people in New York panicked and got together to discuss how to stop the violence from happening, but there was no result at all.

In the end, the mayor of New York, William Dwyer, who had just taken office for a few days, contacted the former mayor Fiorello, and under his reminder, Dwyer came to Peninsula Manor in person and visited Russell Corleone.

Dwyer was indeed unlucky, because violence broke out in the final days of Fiorello's outgoing tenure, but it did not officially erupt until early January, leaving Dwyer clueless when he took office, because various regulars in office Pretending to be dumb and not giving any advice.

Of course, this is what smart people do.Once someone's suggestion is adopted, if it fails, you will be blamed, and you may even have a political career, who dares to bet?

At this moment, Dwyer was sitting in the study. He had a very good attitude and lowered his posture. He wanted to sit on the consultation table opposite Russell's desk, obviously because of Fiorello's guidance.

But Russell refused. Since Dwyer respected him, he would give him some preferential treatment.

"Try Sicilian cigarettes."

"Thank you, Mr Corleone."

Dwyer took the cigarette and said, "Some people in the city are smoking this kind of cigarette, but they haven't given me a taste."

Russell laughed: "Bring you some when you leave, so you can taste it with them."

Dwyer thanked repeatedly, and after chatting for a while, he talked about the purpose of this time.

Russell sat opposite him in silence for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I only have permanent residency, but I am not an American. I don't want to get involved in the New York Mafia game, let alone persuade them to stop the war."

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

"Why are you so anxious to stop them? To you, they are like barnacles growing on whales. Isn't the more dead the better?"

Dwyer said with a guilty conscience: "But the time when they started the war coincided with the time when I took office, and the people would think that I was an unlucky mayor."

incompetent mayor...

Compared with Fiorello, it is like a sky and a world, just holding Fiorello to the apex.

"No, the public won't remember such trivial matters. You just need to pay and suppress them after their war is over. You should be arrested and punished."

Dwyer questioned: "Your suggestion is to let me let it go? After they finish fighting, I will issue the provisions to clear up the New York Mafia, and then cooperate with the New York Police Department to arrest them?"

"In this way, you have both credit and hard work... Declare to the outside world that it is not easy to do work in the government..."

Russell didn't need to teach him this kind of hypocrisy; Dwyer knew how to do it.

"Thank you."

Russell shook his head: "I'm just giving you some advice, and it's not helping you."

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

"I heard that Fiorello retired and has nothing to do at home. What do you think of the position of the director of the United Nations Relief Agency?"

Dwyer was startled, then nodded immediately: "Very suitable!"

The two chatted for a while, and then he got up and said goodbye.

When Dwyer left, he only took the cigarettes, not the Duke Black Pearl.

Just because he's Irish.

In mid-January, under the escort of Sonny, Clemenza, Tessio and others, Vito was discharged from the hospital and taken back home.

It seems that the war has entered a fever pitch, because there are not enough manpower, and the people who protect Vito have also been transferred from the battlefield, so it is the safest and most appropriate way for Vito to go home.

Freddy also came back from Las Vegas, but he looked at his father with a bit of shame, and Vito didn't say anything but told him not to worry about everything being okay.

This made Freddie even more frustrated. The last thing he wanted was to see his father comfort him, which meant that he was like a child who hadn't grown up and didn't understand.

He lived in New York for a few days, and then returned to Las Vegas, because there he can be himself.

Vito smiled when he saw Mike, and refused to let go of his hand.

"Mike, have you meddled in the family affairs?"

"Have some ideas."

Hearing that Vito's expression was a little heavy, 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. If Tataglia is pushed into a hurry, he may choose to fall into the abyss with us..."

"You mean they will attack me?"

"Do you think there are still supporters behind the Tataglia family?"

"Sonny says there's been a lot of new faces appearing lately, they seem to be from Rome..."

"...So, you have to leave."

"Father, I..."

Chapter 155 The Godfather Asks The Godfather For Help, You Pay Them

In the room, Vito was lying on the bed holding Mike's hand, his eyes soft.

He could see the scars on Mike's face, it was a mark.

From this moment on, he officially reconciled with the family, and with unwillingness and struggle, he wants to stand up and reshape.

"Mike, I heard about you. You have been very thoughtful since you were a child. You are different from Sonny and Freddy. You have an extraordinary mind, but you have just come out of the rebellious period, and your perspective on affairs is slightly worse."

Mike quietly listened to his father's teachings.

"I tried to change the family more than once, but all ended in failure. The reason why the family can continue is that it has more human touch. Sometimes they can save you from fire and water, and sometimes they will drag you into the abyss."

Vito stared at the mural in front of him, and said: "So leave as soon as possible while your hands are not stained with blood, and get away from this endless war. When you come back, maybe the family will change. And you will become Corleone Representatives, Director of Roads and Building Planning . . . "

Mike opened his mouth and said, "You want me to participate? Only in this way can the family be changed, right?"

Vito didn't answer, but said plainly: "New York is the place where the family rose, and it's also the place where we were trapped..."

"Father, where should I go then?"

"Sicily, you haven't been back since you were born. That's our hometown. But if you're going to Sicily, you need to say hello to Russell, and I'll call him personally."

Mike frowned and said, "There are so many things that happened, Russell must have been involved. I saw him signal Deputy Sheriff John to kill Mark. A few days ago, Solazzo died in a food factory."

"Don't get entangled in these things. He reminded me before that Solaso ​​would come to the door, and I had clearly rejected it, but Sonny said something wrong, which led to a series of things happening."

Vito turned to stare at him, and warned: "Go around Sicily, but don't provoke Russell. He unified Sicily in just a few years at a young age. He is not as simple as he seems."

Mike nodded silently.

A few days later, Russell received a call from Vito. He first congratulated him on his recovery from the hospital and exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting to the point.

He directly agreed with Mike to go to Sicily to avoid the disaster, and asked if he would take Freddy with him, but Vito bluntly refused.

Vito was a little disappointed with Freddy. From the moment he was shot, the test of the three sons began. Among them, Sonny performed very well, doing things with ease, and he was not impulsive and irritable at critical moments. Followed the advice of Tom, Mike and others.

After experiencing all kinds of things, Mike suddenly woke up.During the period of the mafia war, Sonny provided many ideas, and his performance was extremely dazzling.

Mike will sail to Sicily with Ankos and Felix on board.

Felix took over the import and export trade in the American region, but he had to go to Sicily to see it for himself and be familiar with the route, otherwise how would he manage the company in the future?

Vito and Russell chatted in depth for several days, and finally decided to stop the war at all costs.

"I want to exchange the shares of two Wall Street securities companies and three fashion centers for the safety of the core members of the family. They cannot be charged, sentenced, or even go to court."
