Chapter 17 Explain to me, what is respect(1/2)

Sicily is located in the southern part of Italy, across the Messina Strait at the northeast, facing the Apennine Peninsula, and occupies an important position in the Mediterranean commercial and trade routes.

So, when Luke got ashore from Palermo, he thought he would encounter a very strict inspection.

The result was beyond his expectations. Luke, who is currently a smuggler, used only twenty boxes of cigarettes and some ham and bread, easily bribed the chiefs here and could pass easily.

From this we can see that later generations said that the entire Italian army during World War II had become corruption from top to bottom, which was not without reason to speculate.

After getting ashore, Luke saw a few tall men wearing baseball caps and tattoos on the port pier, looking at his group of people in secret.

He walked over with a kind look on his face, and said in a fluent Italian language: "Do you know where the Bronze Bell Tavern is?"

The benefits of Superman templates are not just the upgrade of strength and the strengthening of the body.

Speaking of learning talent and thinking ability, Luke has improved significantly.

I think that if Superman on the set next door is really thinking with his brain, he might not be inferior to Batman, who is called the "Justice League think tank".

But perhaps it is precisely because of Batman that Superman is too lazy to use his brain.

Luke smiled, got rid of these boring thoughts and started talking to these tall men.

Before leaving, he simply raided Italian, and now he could speak a local dialect with a little Sicilian dialect.

This is also one of the reasons why the Roaring Commando was able to inspect the patrol warships many times along the way.

Later, many team members believed in Vito Corleon's identity.

Even though Luke told Dum that he had grown up in Brooklyn, the latter still remained suspicious, believing that the young captain was most likely from Sicily.

"Mr. Corleon?"

The man in the lead asked frowned.

"You can call me Vito."

Luke said lightly.

Hearing that the other party admitted his identity, these men dressed in similar clothes quickly changed their attitude and became respectful.

"Mr. Corleon, Boss Xhosa is waiting for you in the Bronze Bell Tavern! The car is in front!"

Then he waved and three black cars drove over outside the dock.

The man opened the car door and waited for Luke to sit in.

The "Xhosa Boss" they called was the informant of the development of the Strategic Science Legion.

Luke handed a look at the Roaring Commando, signaling them not to relax their guard and then get into the car.

Soon, the convoy raised a stream of dust and drove towards the bronze bell tavern.

Xhosa Alexandro is currently the only remaining mafia leader in Sicily.

The mafia, which was well-known in later generations and even the world-renowned mafia, was not good at this time.

In 1925, after Mussolini gained absolute control over Italy, he delivered a massive national speech on the issue of the Mafia.

Through the tweeter, he vowed to all Italians to purify the social atmosphere and crack down on evil!

We must completely eradicate the cancer of the mafia from Italy!

No one expected that Mussolini would do what he said and began to sever the mafia.

On the one hand, he directed the Fascesian military and police to arrest nearly a thousand mafia members, and on the other hand, he directly took down the other party's nest.

And after being arrested, there is no need for the basic trial process, and a comprehensive bloodbath is launched.

In Sicily's Fountain Square, people are executed every day, and blood seeps into every piece of floor tiles and soil.

So, the mafia died and fled, either arrested and imprisoned, or fled overseas.

By now, Sicily has become a "pure land" without black forces.

People no longer worry about gangster harassment, but they have to endure the terror of the dictator.

However, it is worth mentioning that the weak mafia in Italy has risen again from the United States and regained its vitality.

It has created a large amount of inexhaustible and inexhaustible character materials for Hollywood gangster films in later generations.

Luke, who has been in contact with Irish gangs and dealt with Italian mafia, knows this very well.

Seeing the harsh living environment of Sicily and the grudge against Mussolini, many mafia families simply secretly hugged the thighs of the Allies.

This is how Xhosa Alexandro was developed into an informant of the Strategic Science Legion.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Tong Bell Tavern.

Several burly and strong men with tattoos were guarding the door, and Luke who was walking out of the car was stopped.

"Mr. Alexandro, are you going to let me in alone? It doesn't seem very sincere."

Luke sneered.

The man in charge looked a little ugly. He was silent for a moment and said, "The situation in Sicily is very tense. Mr. Corleon, please forgive me. This way, you can bring a follower. The boss of Xhosa is very cautious in doing things, and this is also for his safety."

"Since your attitude is so sincere, I have nothing to say."

Luke took off his black tweed coat and handed it to Manelli behind him, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon.

Then, he reached out and asked Dam to follow Duckling and Dugan to follow.

"You stay where you are and wait for me to come out."

Luke ordered.

Manelli nodded, holding clothes in one hand and suitcase in the other - a submachine gun hidden inside.

He was very sure that if these mafia dared to play tricks, he and his team members could turn the bronze bell tavern upside down!

Luke walked into the tavern, where the mafia gathered.

Along the thick round tables, there were "family members".

Most of them are young and strong thugs, who are part of the "legion" and are specifically responsible for using violence, fighting for or guarding territory.

He was stared at by more than 30 strong men, and he was also the rumored mafia. If it were ordinary people, their legs would have become weak and they could not walk.

But Luke's face was calm, his steps were steady, and his aura was not weak at all.

"Mr. Corleon, welcome your grand tour!"

The bearded man surrounded by stars like moonlight, stood up to greet him.

He is Xhosa Alexandro, who was originally a leader of the Mafia Kmora family and was not considered a big shot.

Later, the mafia was purged, and various families suffered heavy losses, and some party leaders were even executed in public.

Such iron-blooded and cruel actions have caused a great deterrence to the gangsters.

The special background and special opportunity actually gave Xhosa a chance to make a comeback.

While the storm was not tight, he gathered a group of people around him, and recruited many good players under the name of the Kmora family.

"I think since Xhosa is willing to see me, I know what to do, right?"

Luke leaned on the chair relaxedly, his tone was plain.

Xhosa was not only an informant of the Strategic Science Legion, but also an instructor who later landed on Sicily.

In the original history, the intelligence agencies of the United States assigned local mafia leaders, Salvato Luciano, nicknamed "Lucky".

The other party is one of the big guys in the underground world of New York and has a very strong position.

In Italy, it was originally Don Carlo, but now there have been a little change.

The Mafia in Sicily did play a significant role in landing wars.

They provided various support to the Allies, conveyed messages, distributed leaflets to persuade them to surrender, etc.

Therefore, after the war, Don Carlo became the mayor of Villarba, while Salvato Luciano was exempted from prison and his reputation rose sharply.

If Xhosa Alexandro was sitting opposite, he was tactful, Luke wouldn't mind giving him this opportunity.

"I understand! I understand! I am ready and wait for the Allied instructions at any time."

Alexandro showed a flattering smile.

"Twenty well-trained gunmen, I've found it! It's just that so many people lurking into Rome, the pass is a bit difficult to get - time is too tight!"

Seeing Alexandro showing a embarrassed expression, Luke said expressionlessly: "That's the problem you want to solve! Xhosa, if you can't do it with your ability, then I'll go find someone else. I heard that Don Carlo, who was thrown into prison by Mussolini, would be very happy."

"What is Tang Carlo! Sicily is the world of the boss of Xhosa, even the governor of Palermo..."

Before Alessandro could answer, the young man standing behind him stood up, as if he couldn't stand Luke's words and his contempt for his boss.

Luke narrowed his eyes and looked up. The other party looked a little similar to Alexandro, and he might be a member of the family with blood.

"What a great assist."

Luke was worried that there was no excuse to hit the mafia leader and test the other party's determination to cooperate with the Allies.

"Elio! Stop!"

When Alexandro heard his nephew say this, he quickly slapped him in the face.
