Shen Long did not immediately take action against McRobles. He knew that it would be better to leave some chess pieces there temporarily and not capture them. They might bring big surprises to their opponents in the future. This was the same as his persuading Hoover not to arrest him immediately. Elizabeth Bentley is the same. There is an enemy who thinks we don't know, but the person we do know is there. We can get more information about the enemy through him, and if you kill him, the enemy can find another one. We don't know the details of people.

He just asked Phillips and Abbott to continue to stare at this guy, trying to figure out what he talked about with Bruno Tartaglia, what price the other party paid, and what promises he obtained; in addition, he They also collected information about the McRobles family.

He is an Irishman, and the reason why he is desperately trying to make money is, firstly, to support his four sons in college. The Fordham University they attend is a private school with high tuition fees, which he cannot afford to support with his normal income; secondly, It was to help those relatives who stayed back home in Ireland, which allowed him and his wife to enjoy royal treatment every time they returned to Ireland. Those relatives did their best to make their lives comfortable, which McRobles enjoyed very much. .

Maybe this will be a breakthrough. Shen Long wrote down all this information one by one. Mike had no choice but to kill Officer McRobles. Under normal circumstances, killing a police officer would usher in the same hatred of all police officers, which would make The Corleone family and all New York gangs suffered losses.

Shen Long had no intention of doing this unless it was the last step. Except for weird places like Mexico, it would be unreasonable to kill police officers in any place. He believed there would be a better way to solve the matter of Officer McRobles.

Collecting information carefully and not letting go of any potentially useful clues, Shen Long even took time to follow McRobles for a period of time. He watched how McRobles extorted merchants in his area and how he obtained money from gang leaders. Money, how to get along with family, how to treat bosses and subordinates.

After synthesizing the information, Shen Long slowly thought about this person's character and temperament, gradually made new plans, and formulated several targeted plans.

This matter took him a lot of time. After finishing the work, he originally thought he could stay at home until Christmas. Unexpectedly, his godfather gave him a new task, "Go to Las Vegas and meet him." Mo Greene, his big plan is in trouble right now, this is our chance to get involved in Las Vegas, and the Molinari family on the West Coast will provide you with security."

"Go now? It's almost Christmas. Can't you wait until after Christmas?" Shen Long became nervous. Sollozzo attacked the Corleone family just before Christmas.

"Yes, go now, while Hymen Ross can't get away now. He and Mo Green are good friends. If we wait for him to raise enough funds, we will have no chance." Godfather insisted that Shen Long now Just set off.

Hymen-Ross had cooperated with his godfather when the Corleone family was running the olive oil and moonshining business. Both the olive oil business and the moonshining business required a large number of trucks, and Hymen-Ross had good skills in repairing cars. Both parties The cooperation was very pleasant, but after he accumulated enough capital, he went to Miami and is now the godfather of Miami.

It's just that his current business is not as big as the Corleone family's, and it is a bit unrealistic to leverage the Las Vegas business in the short term, but as long as he is given a little more time, he will get the money.

Through these twenty years of accumulation, the Corleone family has accumulated a terrifying amount of wealth. They own expensive real estate in the center of New York. The entire building is in the name of someone else, but it is actually owned by them; On Wall Street, they owned two brokerage buildings, several banks on Long Island through which funds for Johnny's movie studios were sent to partners in California, and several clothing companies.

This is just a legal business. If you add the gambling industry that is secretly controlled, it will be too scary. Since it is a gambling industry, it is impossible for the Corleone family not to get involved in Las Vegas. Shen Long quickly estimated in his mind, This is another test for himself by the godfather. This test is more critical than the one in Hollywood, and he cannot refuse.

"Okay, I'll go back and make preparations. I'll leave tomorrow." Shen Long agreed. Tom Hagen sent him information. He, Albert Neri and Rocco Lapon called into the room and told them again. He gave them instructions to continue to pay attention to the situation of the McRobles, Sollozzo and Tartaglia families while they were away from New York, especially as it approached Christmas.

"At this time, everyone's attention will be on the festival, and the defense is likely to be relaxed. If Sollozzo wants to launch an attack, this is the best time."

Just like last time, he flew to Las Vegas with Willy Chichi. On the plane, he closed his eyes and began to sort out the information about Las Vegas and Mo Green.

Las Vegas originates from Spanish and means "fertile green grassland" because Las Vegas is the only oasis with spring water in the surrounding desolate stone desert and Gobi area. Because of the spring water, it has gradually become a stop on the highway. and railway transfer station.

The gambling industry here originated from the beginning of the century, when gold and silver mines were discovered nearby. Countless gold prospectors rushed here, and casinos and brothels also prospered. After the gold mines were mined, the area returned to silence.

It was not until after the economic crisis that Roosevelt's New Deal began to be implemented and the construction of the Hoover Dam not far from Las Vegas began. Countless workers flocked here again. When they had nothing to do, they started gambling. Too many people participated. Well, the government can't control it at all.

The local government simply took advantage of the economic crisis in 1931 and announced the legalization of local gambling in an attempt to tide over the difficulties. Many investors flocked to Las Vegas, and Mo Green was one of them.

At that time, he brought his lover to Las Vegas. His lover complained that it was too hot and dry here. This sentence ignited Mo Green's inspiration. The Hoover Dam not far away can provide abundant electricity for the place. With electricity, water can be brought in, and air conditioning can lower the temperature!
