Chapter 108 I am a boss in America

After listening to the request of the old godfather Vito Corleone, Shen Long understood what this mission was about. He was very familiar with the "Godfather" trilogy, having read both the movie and the original novel.

Vito Corleone is the patriarch and founder of the Corleone family, a famous gangster family in New York. His original name was Vito Andolini. He was born in the village of Corleone in Sicily, Italy. When he was nine years old, his father and brother offended the local mafia boss. Chichio was killed, and Vito escaped under the desperate cover of his mother and came to the United States.

When passing through customs, the official took the village of Corleone where he came from as his surname, so Vito Andolini became Vito Corleone. Vito grew up in New York and led the Cremansa, Tessio and Abbandando made a name for themselves in New York and took advantage of opportunities such as Prohibition and World War II to grow.

After defeating the Maranzano family, the Corleone family established its status as the overlord of the New York underworld, and traveled across the country to unite large gangs across the country and establish a gang committee.

Vito Corleone has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Santino is brave and courageous, but has a hot temper and is impulsive. The second son Fredo has a cowardly personality. The third son Michael is smart and capable, but has little interest in the family business and goes behind his father's back. He joined the army and entered Dartmouth University after World War II. He wanted to be a senator. His youngest daughter Connie was spoiled and extremely willful.

Although Vito Corleone is the overlord of the underworld, he has always only done gray business and refused to participate in the drug trade. After the wedding of his youngest daughter Connie, the drug lord Sollozzo came to New York and wanted to use Vito's network to provide drugs. Offering asylum in his own deal, Vito decisively rejected him, a decision that offended Sollozzo and other New York families.

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 Santino could reach a deal after he came to power; however, Vito Thanks to his luck, he was shot five times and still survived.

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

After waking up, Vito reached an agreement with other families, giving up revenge and accepting their cooperation requirements in exchange for Mike's safe return to the country to inherit the family business. However, he never forgot revenge and worked with Mike to formulate a careful revenge plan.

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 underworld overlord in New York.

This story was written by Italian-born writer Mario Puzo and was brought to the big screen by Coppola in 1972. It won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It has a noble status in the history of film. status, 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 was only one way to keep Mike away from the underworld, and that was to have other people step forward to assume the family's responsibilities, continue to lead the Corleone family forward, and become a new member of the Corleone family. The underworld godfather, otherwise, Mike will always return to the family.

This mission is much more exciting than the previous ones, and you may lose your life if you are not careful. However, Shen Long now has the experience accumulated from the previous missions, so he is not particularly afraid. After all, "The Godfather" is a relatively realistic movie. In the movie, there are ordinary people with relatively low force value.

So, let's first find the movies and novels and study them carefully. Shen Long turned on the computer, found the movie "The Godfather" and watched it carefully, and began to prepare 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 so on.

In addition, there are many documentaries, novels, monographs, biographies of famous gangsters, family biographies, etc. that reflect the reality of American gangs in the last century. The books alone have sold a lot, and many of them are original works in English, so that they can be read more Gain an in-depth understanding of the true face of that era and the rules of conduct of American gangsters.

Of course, information on the American political situation of this era is also indispensable. Many political figures and institutions related to gangs are the focus of research. Gangs cannot last long without a political umbrella. The reason why the Corleone family can become the overlord of New York is because This is why both generations of godfathers, Vito and Michael, have won over 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 profits to the family is definitely not a good godfather.

These are all knowledge reserves. Shen Long has also not forgotten the training in force. Whether it is the old godfather Vito or the new godfather Mike, they have faced many assassinations. The fight between gangs is not so elegant. Walking on the street It could be sifted by a Chicago typewriter at any time.

He reduced the number of visits to the archery hall and spent all the extra time in the shooting hall.

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

While practicing, he studied what he should do to become a gangster in New York based on this information. The preparations lasted for more than a month before Shen Long felt a little sure. All that was left was to wait until he entered the mission world and learn more about science. The Lyon family and other gangs in the United States can make a decision only after they have a more intuitive understanding.

So, let’s enter now. Shen Long was lying on the bed in the courtyard and chose to enter. A white light flashed and his consciousness briefly stagnated. When he returned to normal, the location he was in had changed from the courtyard in the capital to The Corleone family's yard in Long Beach, New York.

It was a sunny summer day. The one-acre yard was decorated with flowers and full of joy. There were at least five hundred guests in the yard. Music and laughter were constantly playing. Many people were dancing and sinking. The table in front of Long was piled with food and wine. In the distance, Connie, wearing a white wedding dress, looked happy. In the far corner, Mike was chatting with his girlfriend Kay.

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.
