Through the old godfather’s narration, all the big guys here understood the whole story.
The beginning of the matter can be traced back to a man nicknamed "The Bomber". Harley was not sure whether he was a cross-dressing hero or a cross-dressing criminal.
There is no doubt that you know what he does just by his name.
A bomb expert, a genius who can make a powerful homemade bomb using matchboxes and apple cider vinegar.
However, Bomberman neither kills people nor destroys ordinary buildings in Gotham.
He is not a traditional super criminal.
Harley knew his name when she was still studying in Gotham High School. He was more famous than Mr. Shadow and the Dark Knight's gang of cross-dressing heroes.
What he did was really too big. In just a few months, the bomber blew up more than a dozen buildings, all of which were military factories and factories of military industrial companies. More than half of them belonged to Wayne Enterprises. The bomber firmly believed that he was doing good things.
, destroying an arsenal can reduce a war.
Each time after planting a bomb, he would call the building duty room and ask all personnel in the building to evacuate.
In this way, he has never killed anyone.
Until the last time, a factory security guard was not notified and died in the explosion. The bomber felt guilty after knowing that he had killed someone, so he took the initiative to surrender to the GCPD.
In this way, his legendary deeds came to an end.
Unabomber had been imprisoned in Gotham's most famous Blackgate Prison.
When the two-hundred-year-old Arkham Asylum reopens, the bomber will be treated as a mental patient as a matter of course and transferred from Blackgate Prison to Arkham.
Then there was an accident and the Russians kidnapped the bomber halfway.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Russians knew about the old Kamai's money bank, they would not be able to open the door to the money bank.
Because the Treasury was converted from an underground military fortress built by the US military.
Even if ordinary people blow up an underground culvert, they still can't blow open a half-meter-thick iron gate.
So, the Russians need bombers.
But the Russians' act of hijacking the bomber alarmed Jim Gordon of the GCPD.
He had been defeated repeatedly in previous battles simply because his opponents were too strong.
Gordon is very good at dealing with ordinary criminals.
He and Harvey actually tracked down Old Camai's money bank in the suburbs and blocked the Russians' way.
If the matter ends here, the old godfather can sigh with relief: Look, I was right, Gordon is not an enemy, he is a hero who helps us solve the source of chaos!
It is a pity that the black hands behind the Russians are not doing it for money at all, or in other words, not mainly for money.
The Russians didn’t even know that there was a bomb installed under their car.
Seeing that the Russians were blocked by Gordon, the people hiding in the dark directly detonated bombs, burned Old Camai's money, and killed the Russians.
“Harry, the Russians are under your control, what do you say?”
Amidst the silence, a person who surprised Harry was the first to attack, targeting her.
It was Barnes who was in charge of the armory.
Harley was stunned before she realized that before the money bank was robbed, there was an arms theft case. The bombers wanted to blow up Kamai's money box and needed high-end explosives. So, the Russians first ransacked the Barnes family.
In the ordnance warehouse, a large amount of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine was stolen, a super explosive ten times more powerful than 4.
Harley looked at him and said slowly: "When Ron and I changed industries, his boxers and some of his managers followed me. I also sent back a large number of Russians who are proficient in money lending and underground gambling businesses."
Ron quickly said: "I can't accept all the Russians, otherwise how can I place my confidants and control the team?
So, I only took in ‘skilled workers’, just like you did, Harley.
Most of the Russians didn't come to me at all. They were Nikola's confidants who once held high positions of power and were unwilling to join me as low-level thugs.
I am a native of Gotham, I have my own circle, and I am unwilling to accept them."
Old Kamai put his hands behind his back, faced the window, and said calmly: "The Russians are not the key. Without them, there would be other gunmen."
"Prince" Jimmy frowned and said: "Boss, you have always been in charge of the family money bank. We know its existence, but we don't even know the location of the money bank, let alone the tetramethylene explosive needed to open the money bank.
.”
The meaning is obvious. Lao Kamai's "incompetence in doing things" exposed the location of the money bank.
The old man turned around and glared at Jimmy with a sharp look. He only lowered his head and walked slowly around the dining table.
When he walked behind Barnes, he suddenly drew his gun and said, "Bang!"
His brain and blood flew together, and Barnes said nothing. With a "pop", his face hit the pasta bowl on the table.
Blood and incontinence, the stench of incontinence overwhelms the aroma of the delicious food on the table.
Everyone’s pupils shrank and they were as silent as cicadas.
Harley has a very keen sense of murderous aura, and she behaves the most calmly. She also has the mind to scan the micro-expressions of the bosses with her peripheral vision.
“There is a mole in the family, that’s for sure, but isn’t it Barnes? To be honest, I’m not sure either.
He has been with me for decades, and I only gave him the management of the armory out of trust. He has failed me.
This is not the end, I promise you, no matter who does it, his greatest hope in the future is to die as neatly as Basn."
The old godfather did not speak softly this time, and the rapid pace of his speech revealed his inner uneasiness.
Jimmy frowned and said, "Boss, we can understand."
The old godfather raised his hand to stop him and continued: "Now to the next topic, the treasury has lost 120 million. For the benefit of the family, each of you must increase your taxes by 25% until the gap in the reserve is filled.
"
Jimmy frowned, his dissatisfaction was written on his face, but he said nothing.
Anger flashed in the eyes of the old Italian Saviano, and he whispered: "Boss, no offense, but isn't this a bit high?"
“It’s a bit high indeed”
Tuschi, another old Italian next to him, echoed softly.
Harry smiled and said: "I still feel a little low."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, even the old godfather was stunned.
Harry shrugged, "Everyone, one hundred and twenty million cannot be less than a cent. Whether we can raise it in half a year or three years, we have to spend the same amount of money, right?"
Since the total number remains unchanged, of course, the sooner the problem is solved, the less the impact on the family business will be."
“Uh” everyone couldn’t refute.
The old godfather looked calm and looked at Sister Yu: "Fish, what do you think?"
Sister Yu had a natural expression and said calmly and generously: "We are a family. Of course we share blessings and share difficulties."
“Very good, let’s eat!”
No one took away the body of Barnes, so they sat with the dead man and had an unforgettable lunch.
After lunch, we drank a cup of tea and everyone said goodbye as usual.
When Harley was about to leave, a gunman in a black suit approached and whispered something in her ear.
So she deliberately stayed behind and waited until everyone else had left before going to the chicken coop in the backyard.
“Harry, are you interested in taking over Barnes’ armory?” the old godfather said straight to the point.
Harry hesitated and said: "Barnes is the elder of the family. According to the rules, his property should be inherited by the Barnes family, right?"
Taking the example of "Young and Dangerous", Jiang Tiansheng is equivalent to Lao Kamai, Da Fei, Big B, and Liang Kun is similar to Harley, Sister Yu, Jimmy and others.
Chain Haonan, Pheasant and Big B, if something happens to Big B, generally speaking, it would be Brother Haonan who takes over, rather than Liangkun taking over Big B's territory.
This is the reason why the Russians were dissatisfied with Harry, and later even robbed the old godfather of his money because they hated him so much.
Theoretically, if Nikola dies, his territory will be inherited by the second-in-command in the Russian gang.
But Nikolai's situation is different. First of all, he is a traitor who wants to usurp the throne. Old Kamai no longer trusts the Russians. In addition, Nikolai's industry is not chopped off like Chen Haonan. Most of the fixed assets are
From the Falcone family.
The situation of Barnes and Nicola is different. He is the old man next to the old Camai.
The old godfather said helplessly: "Barnes' other businesses still belong to his family, but the armory is not our industry at all.
When World War II broke out, German spies caused riots in cities on the east coast and disrupted production.
Especially the bombings at military factories, which have left the Guard and the government in a state of panic and at a loss.
Just like we are Italian, many Americans are also from Germany.
I saw an opportunity and offered to help the military solve the security problem in the city.
The effect is very good.
We replaced the Guard, the police, the secret agents, the Coast Guard. We guarded arsenals, policed the streets, hunted down spies, suppressed small-scale uprisings, and patrolled the coastline.
Things that the government cannot or cannot do well, we, the black state, go deep into the people and can easily do it.
After the end of World War II, the government immediately became ruthless and left us aside like used chamber pots, but guarding the armory became a tradition that continues to this day.”
“You killed Barnes to give an explanation to the military?” Harley said calmly.
The old godfather shook his head, "There is only a small part of the reason, mainly to shock people's hearts. There are traitors within, and people's hearts are unstable."
“No need to be shocked, it was Fish who did it.” Harley said calmly.
The old godfather suddenly raised his head, with an incomprehensible look on his face, "How are you sure?"
Harry raised his eyebrows, looked into his deep but clear old eyes, and smiled: "Don't you think so too?"
“Tell me your reasons,” the old godfather insisted.
"I have been paying attention to everyone's reactions. Fish has always been calm, unlike others who have intense emotional changes of shock, confusion and fear." Harley said.
“Then what?” The old godfather remained calm.
“Then there is the motive and ability to commit the crime. Fish and Nikola played a double act and hooked up early. It is impossible for the Russians to not notice it at all.
So, the Russians were willing to listen to her, trust her, and get into the car where she planted the bomb without warning.
Then the money”
At this point, Harley smiled sarcastically, "Counting you and me, there are only 12 people in charge of the family in Gotham, and the traitor is among us.
So, who has the courage to destroy 120 million?
When you propose a tax increase in the conference room, you should see the look on other people’s faces.”
“Well, you are really smart, but Fish, I was so disappointed this time. She was too impatient and too emotional.
120 million, I didn’t take it seriously at all, but that’s the dividends from the major shareholders!
Shareholders can invest in Falcone, they can invest in Maroney, or anyone else.
The reason they keep investing in us is because the returns are high and stable.
Now that she has overturned the table, I am certainly hurt, but will she get any benefits?" The old godfather sighed, with a touch of sadness on his face.
