Chapter 115 Undercover
"Santino, don't let people outside your family guess what you're thinking, don't let people know what you want, and don't let women mess up your mind! Now, from before me Get out!" The godfather was annoyed at Santino's interruption, which opened Sollozzo's eyes to the divisions within the Corleone family.
There is no doubt that this is fatal, and it was Santino's words that gave Sollozzo the idea of killing the godfather and allowing Santino to succeed, and then cooperate with the Corleone family. Shen Long bets that He was already thinking about it in the car.
Santino's face was full of shock and anger. He hadn't figured out why the godfather was so angry. It had been a long time since he had been reprimanded like this.
"Sonny, Sollozzo is a very careful guy. Your words made him realize that the opinions on cooperation within our family are not unified." Shen Long came out to speak, and you must To be clear, maybe the godfather wanted to train Santino and let him learn to think, but this is not the right time.
"If we agree, Sollozzo may look for other channels, and once he finds that important people in the family are interested in cooperation, he will find ways to continue pestering us, which will bring great trouble to the family , It may even be an extreme method." Shen Long still did not say the word assassination.
"Just relying on Sollozzo and the Tataglia family?" Santino regretted hearing this, but he still didn't take it seriously.
"Perhaps it's not just the Tattaglia family. The Corleone family has dominated New York for too long. The Basini family, the Cuneo family, and the Strazzi family are eager for us to fall from the throne. Lozzo hooked up, and once Sollozzo attacks and we don't respond well, they'll pounce." The Corleone family's supremacy is more due to the political network woven by the old godfather.
In terms of territory and the number of subordinates, the Corleone family is not much better than the Basini family, and those politicians are obviously unreliable, and they don't care who the confession is.
The underworld fighting is extremely cruel, and you can't be sloppy at all times. The Corleone family has been peaceful for too long. If it had just defeated the Maranzano family, it would not have been like this.
"There is no family that is willing to be someone else's vassal all the time, just like we were with the Maranzano family back then, Fredo, you have made rapid progress recently." The godfather picked up one of his favorite noble cigars, lit it and He took a sip, then pointed at Shen Long and said, "Okay, Santino, get out!"
Only the godfather, Shen Long and Tom were left in the room. The godfather sat down on the chair and gestured to Tom. What Santino said just now disrupted his plan.
Tom understood what the godfather meant, and quickly poured him a glass of wine. The godfather looked up at Tom, "Go and find Luca Brasi." what will you do.
"Wait, Basini has already seen Luca on the day of the wedding, and Tataglia has been listening to Basini, maybe this is not the right candidate." Luca is the best thug in the Corleone family, so the loss What a pity.
"There were a lot of guests that day, and Luka would know what to do. Don't think he's a fool, he's a smart guy." The godfather waved his hand indifferently.
How can someone who can kill six Maranzano family members, Al Capone's killers, and the boss of the Irish gang be a simple killer? Shen Long believes that Luca Brasi is a clever guy, but this does not mean that he is the most suitable undercover candidate. He is the executor of the Corleone family, the absolute core figure, if the godfather can't even control such a person Wait, how could he firmly sit on the throne of New York's underworld overlord? Sollozzo could not fail to see this.
Oh yes, I see! Suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and Shen Long somewhat understood the godfather's intentions. The godfather was already old, and he began to consider the issue of abdicating.
A beast like Luca Blasi will only convince him alone, no matter whether it is Santino or Mike who succeeds him, there is no way to make Luca completely surrender, it is better to let him out than to let him become a time bomb in the future , no matter whether this undercover operation succeeds or fails, it will not do any harm to the Corleone family.
If it succeeds, the Corleone family will know Sollozzo's plan, but if it fails, Luca Brasi will die, and this time bomb will be resolved, and with Luca Brasi's ability, even Sollozzo Even if you want to kill him, you won't pay the price.
Shen Long was a little surprised. He already knew that the godfather was cruel to outsiders. He didn't expect that it would be the same for Luca Brasi, a killer who had followed him for many years. Perhaps except for the children of the Corleone family, there was no one he could not give up.
"Fredo, what's the problem?" Shen Long's reaction fell into the eyes of the godfather, which surprised him again, he didn't expect that the mediocre Fredo could see through his true intentions.
"No, it's nothing." Shen Long didn't express his guess, Tom Hagen was still in the room, these words must not be known to outsiders, otherwise Tom would feel insecure.
"Uh, I mean, we can send undercover agents to Sollozzo, so will Sollozzo also put undercover agents in our family? Or just buy the family members?" Tessio, who worked hard with the old godfather , Pauli Gatto, who drove the godfather, and Fabrizio, who protected Mike in Sicily, were all bribed?
Oh, and Connie's husband Carlo, they caused great trouble to the Corleone family, Santino was killed, and the assassination of the godfather was inseparable from their tipping off.
"I'll keep an eye on it." The godfather nodded and didn't say much.
That night, Luca Blasi came to the godfather's study, and the two closed the door for a while before Luca Blasi left. Looking at his back, Shen Long knew that the Corleone family was about to die. To lose this excellent performer.
Shen Long wanted to find reliable subordinates to keep an eye on Pauli Gato and Tessio and others, but the former Fredo was really too scumbag, he only knew how to spend time and money, and there was no reliable manpower under his command, far inferior to Santi No, it made him very depressed.
It seems that it's time to train your own manpower, but who should you turn to? Shen Long was lost in thought, but soon, he thought of a very suitable candidate.
