Chapter 108 I'm a Boss in America

After listening to the old godfather Vito Corleone's request, Shen Long also understood what was going on with this mission. He was very familiar with the "Godfather" trilogy, having read both the movies and the original novels.

Vito Corleone is the patriarch and founder of the famous New York gangster family Corleone Family. His original name was Vito Antolini. He was born in Corleone Village, Sicily, Italy. When he was nine years old, his father and brother offended the local mafia leader Chicchio was killed, and Vito escaped under the cover of his mother's desperate efforts and came to the United States.

When passing through customs, the officials took his village of Corleone as his surname, so Vito Antolini became Vito Corleone. Vito grew up in New York and led Climansa, Tessio and Abbandando became famous in New York, and gradually grew stronger by taking advantage of opportunities such as Prohibition and World War II.

After defeating the Maranzano family, the Corleone family established their status as the overlord of the underworld in New York, and ran across the country, uniting large gangs across the country to form a gang committee.

Vito Corleone has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Santino is brave but hot-tempered and impulsive. The second son Fredo is cowardly. The third son Mike is shrewd and capable but has no interest in the family business and betrays his father He joined the army, entered Dartmouth University after World War II, and wanted to be a senator. The youngest daughter, Connie, was spoiled and willful.

Although Vito Corleone is the overlord of the underworld, he has always only engaged in gray business and refused to participate in the drug trade. After the wedding of his youngest daughter Connie, drug lord Sollozzo came to New York and wanted to use Vito's network to Offered asylum by his own deal, Vito flatly rejected him, a decision that offended Sollozzo and the rest of the New York family.

However, during the negotiation process, Santino's intervention allowed Sollozzo to see the differences within the Corleone family. He immediately made a decision and sent someone to assassinate Vito, hoping that a deal could be reached after Santino came to power; Relying on his life, he was shot five times and saved his life.

Santino was killed in Sollozzo's trap, and Fredo was a waste again. Mike had to stand up and take responsibility, killing Sollozzo and the police officer who provided him with shelter, and then fled to his hometown in Sicily.

After waking up, Vito reached an agreement with other families, gave up revenge and accepted their cooperation request in exchange for Mike's safe return to China to inherit the family business, but he never forgot about revenge, and worked out a careful revenge plan with Mike.

After Vito's death, Mike decisively launched an attack, killing all the traitors in the family and the leaders of other families, and became the new overlord of the underworld in New York.

This story was written by the Italian-born writer Mario Puzo. It was put on the big screen by Coppola in 1972 and won the Oscar for Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It has long been ranked second in the IBDM movie rankings.

After reviewing the background of the story, Shen Long began to think about how to complete the task. There is only one way to keep Mike away from the underworld business, and that is to have someone else stand up to take on the responsibility of the family, continue to lead the Corleone family forward, and become a new leader. The underworld godfather, if not, Mike will always return to the family.

This mission is much more exciting than the previous ones, and you may die if you are not careful. However, now that Shen Long has accumulated the accumulation of the previous missions, he is not particularly afraid. After all, "The Godfather" is still a relatively realistic work. In the movie, there are some ordinary people in it, and the force value is relatively low.

Then, first find out the movies and novels and study them carefully. Shen Long turned on the computer, found the movie "The Godfather" and watched it carefully, and started the preparations before entering...

In addition to the original movies and novels, Shen Long also found other novels by Mario Puzo, such as "Black Market" and "The Sicilian", as well as other American gangster film and television works, such as "The Departed" and "Once Upon a Time in America" , Boardwalk Empire, Gangs of New York, Goodfellas, and more.

In addition, there are many documentaries, novels, monographs, famous gangsters, family biographies, etc. that reflect the reality of American gangsters in the last century. Gain insight into what that era was really like and how American gangsters operated.

Of course, the information on the American political situation in this era is also indispensable. Many political figures and institutions related to gangs are the focus of research. If gangs do not have a political umbrella, they cannot last long. The reason why the Corleone family became the overlord of New York is because The reason why the two generations of godfathers, Vito and Mike, have attracted many political figures.

As well as the economic data of that era, gangsters want to make money after all, and a godfather who cannot bring huge benefits to the family is definitely not a good godfather.

These are all reserves of knowledge. Shen Long also has not forgotten the training of force. Whether it is the old godfather Vito or the new godfather Mike, they have faced many assassinations. The struggle between gangsters is not so elegant. Walking on the street At any moment there is a risk of being sieved by a Chicago typewriter.

He reduced the number of times he went to the archery hall, and spent all his extra time in the shooting hall.

He even spared time to go to the United States, went to New York to check first-hand information, and practiced the weapons used by gangsters of that era in a shooting club in New York.

While practicing, he studied what he should do to become a New York underworld boss based on these materials. The preparation work lasted for more than a month before Shen Long felt a little confident. The Lyon family and other gangs in the United States can make a decision only after they have a more intuitive understanding.

Then, let’s enter now. Shen Long lay on the bed in the courtyard and chose to enter. A white light flashed, and his consciousness stagnated for a short time. The Corleone family's yard in Long Beach, New York.

It was a sunny day in summer. The one-acre yard was decorated with colorful flowers, full of joy. There were at least 500 guests in the yard. The sound of music and laughter kept ringing. The table in front of Long is full of wine and food, and Connie, who is wearing a white wedding dress in the distance, is full of happiness. In the far corner, Mike is chatting with his girlfriend Kai.

Ah, this is the first scene at the beginning of the movie - the wedding of the godfather's youngest daughter Connie. Shen Long immediately understood that everything started from this wedding.

Shen Long stood up and walked towards the courtyard, the room of old godfather Vito Corleone.
