Chapter 144 Ready
There is also whether you are ready to inherit the Corleone family. Santino was not the most suitable heir candidate in the mind of the godfather. Mike has never been interested in the family business, but now Shen Long has shown his unexpected talent. , That's why the godfather asked this question, not just his preparations to solve this war.
"I'm ready!" Shen Long said in a calm but firm tone, he had made so many preparations before, for this purpose, the fact that the godfather could ask such a question proved that he already had a plan in mind.
"Okay then, let's talk about your plan!" The godfather put the cigar under his nose and sniffed it, because he hadn't smoked a cigar for a while because he wanted to pretend to be sick.
"Now it is basically certain that the previous assassination of you and the assassination of Sonny have the shadows of other families, of which Basini is their leader, and the Tattaglia family is just an exposed target. The Cuneo family and Stanley The Trazzi family also played an important role in it." In the movie, the godfather was judged by their speeches and expressions at the gang meeting, and Shen Long knew this in advance, so that Rocco and Alberto would keep an eye on them. Looking at these people, they finally found evidence recently.
He handed the evidence to the godfather, "The Corleone family has been in charge of New York for too long, and many members of the new generation of the family have forgotten the horror of the Corleone family. Dissatisfied, Bruno Tattaglia is one of them, and so are other families."
"These young people often talk about this in front of the patriarchs. After a long time, the patriarchs of the major families have changed their minds; and since the end of the war, many of our businesses have declined. The business proposed by Sollozzo is to solve the shrinking profits. It’s a good idea, but you don’t agree, and these people are even more dissatisfied!”
"Basini is an ambitious guy. His family's position in the underground world of the United States is second only to ours. It is difficult for anyone in such a position to control his desire for the supreme throne! He has been waiting for the opportunity, The arrival of Sollozzo gave him the hope of replacing you."
After finishing his analysis of the situation, Shen Long began to talk about his plan, "You accepted their invitation to negotiate, let Tessio and Clemansha gather their men, and Sonny is recuperating at home, their vigilance has dropped Already! My people have found their whereabouts, and the traitors within the family have also been cleaned up. They don't even know that I am in New York. I still have a capable team under me, and I will definitely be able to solve them."
Paulie Gatto was killed, Carlo was controlled in the house, Tessio didn't know that Shen Long was still in New York, it's hard to say whether he has made up his mind to contact Basini now, in the original book, he was after Mike came to power It was only when he had the idea of betrayal, so Shen Long made sure that his existence was a secret.
Enzo is currently haunting Sicily with his own identity. He seldom shows up in public and has been with Tommasino for a long time. Presumably Basini has confirmed the news and knows that the Corleone family is in Sicily.
Didn't realize it was a fake.
"Basini now goes to the Market Building near the Rockefeller Center building every day to check on his business... Philippe Tattaglia is hiding in a motel next to the Sunrise Highway with his little lover," said. When he arrived here, the godfather frowned slightly. Philip Tataglia was already seventy years old, and his style could not make the godfather like him. "Stracy recently haunted... Cuneo hid in..."
"The two most powerful executors under Bassini eat at the Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street every day... the leader who manages the horse racing... the moneylender at the dock..." Not only the patriarchs of other families, but also the most sensitive in their family The character Shen Long also figured out their trajectory.
The executor is a powerful killer. The relationship between these two people is like that of Luca Brasi and the Corleone family. Horse betting and money lending are the core industries of these families. Fatal blow.
"Do you have enough people?" Shen Long's investigation satisfied him. If these people are killed, other families will become a mess. At that time, Clemansha and Tessio will lead their men to attack. The destruction of several families can be said to be doomed! The only thing to worry about now is whether Shen Long has enough manpower.
"It's a bit difficult." Shen Long told the truth, he only had three reliable people under his command, and among these three people, only Rocco Rabon had reliable subordinates. Albert Neri and Willy Chichi were both lonely, "However, I can kill these people in two batches. As long as I act fast enough, I should be able to make it in time!"
These three people plus himself, just enough to deal with the four patriarchs, and then immediately rushed to the second location to deal with the remaining targets.
"It's good that you can recognize the limit of your ability. Here is a list. Their ability and loyalty to me are beyond doubt. No one knows that they are my staff except me. You go find them. From now on, they are all your people, let them be responsible for those executors, casino bosses, moneylender bosses..." The godfather took out a list and handed it to Shen Long.
This is also not just a list, but also the beginning of the transfer of the godfather's power. Now it is his secret army. Next, it is time to use political resources on the surface. This is the most precious thing and the core of the Corleone family. Resources, which are far more important than those thugs sleeping on mats in apartment buildings.
"I will arrange them!" Shen Long solemnly took the list, listened to the godfather's detailed introduction and analysis of these people, and carefully remembered these in his mind.
"Now I have to go." After hearing this, Shen Long stood up, he couldn't stay here for too long.
"Go, go and deal with these problems! Oh, by the way, what are you going to do with that policeman?" asked the godfather.
Shen Long smiled, "He will surprise everyone!"
Shen Long left Long Beach under the cover of Clemansand, and disappeared into the streets of New York; in the next few days, he walked around the city, gathering the people on the list and assigning tasks to them , let people take them to see their goals.
While other families are busy preparing for negotiations, preparing to ruthlessly tear a few pieces of flesh from the Corleone family. At this time, neither Basini nor Tattaglia knew that in New York, there was another Those in the dark intend to finish them off once and for all.
