Chapter 142 Rescue
The most difficult thing for people is to recognize themselves. Many times, some people can get their current status not because of his ability, or because of luck, or because of background, or because of other reasons. Usually, if you can clearly understand One's own limit may be better; but once one loses sight of this and thinks that one can and should obtain a higher position and more power, then the tragedy begins.
Carlo Rize is like this. He has lived a wealthy life because he married the daughter of the Corleone family, but he doesn't know it yet, thinking that he can use this to enter the inner circle of the Corleone family and gain greater power. It's not that he can only guard a small casino like he is now, even if he can't even manage this small casino well.
It's a pity that the old godfather has seen through this man long ago, thinking that he is incapable of participating in these things, and would rather give him and Connie money so that they can live a comfortable life that ordinary people can't match, but he is unwilling to give him power.
He was very dissatisfied with this, even looking at Connie was not as pleasing to the eye as before, and beat him at every turn. Connie went home and told old Vito several times, but Vito was an old-fashioned person, always taking Connie His mother talked about the matter, saying that his wife had never done anything that he could do.
Santino was furious when he heard the news, and took someone to the casino to beat Carlo, but was severely stopped by the godfather afterwards. A husband who is afraid of his wife's natal family, what is this?
However, when Santino beat Carlo Rize, a member of the Tattaglia family was betting in the casino. He reported this to Tattaglia's top management, Philip Tattaglia Keenly aware that this was an opportunity, but after that, because of the obstruction of the godfather, Santino never gave them a similar opportunity.
At the same time, the war between the Corleone family and other families became more and more fierce. They attacked each other's business, strictly prohibited the Corleone family's business from entering their territory, and destroyed their arrangements in the garment union and the dock union. The person in charge, killed their allies in the underground casino.
Tessio and Clemencer found two buildings in the city as barracks, which were filled with mattresses, where the most loyal and capable thugs of the family lived, and they could strike quickly with a single order.
Santino is also arranging people to monitor the patriarchs of other families, trying to find an opportunity to kill them all at once. Unfortunately, these people quickly hid their tracks and moved underground. It is difficult for Santino to catch them, even Shen Long can't do anything After collecting everyone's whereabouts, he could only find the whereabouts of Basini and Tattaglia.
No way, he still has few people at hand now, and two of them who can monitor are already Rocco, Albert and Willy. They have outstanding abilities, and sometimes even he has to come out to track a certain boss.
The Corleone family has also found problems. The peace time is too long, which has eroded the fighting spirit of Tessio and Clemansha. Clemansha is still an excellent killer, but he has lost the energy to command the army.
Tessio is still shrewd, but his heart has softened, and he is not willing to part with the family business in Brooklyn.
As for Tom Hagen, he is good at dealing with business matters, but when it comes to gang fights, he can't handle it. He is not a Sicilian after all.
Santino is also aware of his own shortcomings. You ask him to lead people to fight the enemy. He is absolutely good at it. He has long established the image of the most brutal and cunning killer in the New York underground world. Ever since Luca Brasi After death, no one can compete with him for this position.
However, it is not enough for you to let him command the entire family, analyze intelligence, find the enemy's weaknesses, and socialize with those high-sounding big shots, luring or forcing them to do what the Corleone family needs them to do!
These things made Santino feel angry, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to vent his anger, but other families did not give him this opportunity, but another person came to his door, already pregnant Connie called in tears, telling her about being beaten by Carlo Rize.
She didn't know that it was a conspiracy. The Tataglia family told the Basini family the news that Carlo beat Connie, and the important figures of the Basini family contacted Carlo, and they didn't know what they said to him. He agrees to play the part with the Bassini family, beats up Connie as usual, and gives her the chance to call home.
Santino was furious when he heard the news. He loved his little sister very much, and immediately rushed out and drove into the car to teach Carlo a lesson. At this time, the godfather was sleeping upstairs. Although he was not injured, he was always lying on the bed and could not come out. It was also very tiring, no one had time to stop Santino, only two bodyguards quickly ran into the car and followed Santino.
The car was driving on the Jones Beach Causeway. There were not many cars on the road now. He drove the car very fast and quickly left the bodyguard behind. When he was about to approach the toll booth, only one car blocked the toll lane.
Santino slowed down the speed of the car, honked the horn, and the car left slowly. He stepped forward and handed over a large bill. When the toll collector was about to give the change, the change fell. He quickly looked down, and in front , the door of that car opened.
"Bang bang bang! Sonny, get down!" Just as Santino realized that something was wrong, he heard a burst of gunshots, and a familiar voice shouted not far away.
The instinct of gangster fighting for many years made him react immediately, desperately lowered his body and lay under the front row of the car, with the engine blocking the front, this is the most bulletproof part of the car.
The toll collector suddenly stood up from the toll booth. He had no change in his hand and held a Thompson submachine gun in both hands. Two people got off the car in front and pointed the same weapon at Santino's car; since Al Capone After the first use of this weapon in Chicago, many members of the American gangsters fell in love with this weapon.
Because of its "click-click" sound, these gangsters affectionately called it a Chicago typewriter, and because it could be easily stuffed into a violin case, some people called it a Chicago violin.
Santino saw the weapon in the hands of the toll collector through the car window. He fell into despair. The side door could not stop the bullets from the Chicago typewriter, and he only had a small pistol in the car, and he hadn't had time to get it. inside.
The other party showed a ferocious smile and put his finger on the trigger. At this moment, there were several gunshots, and several red dots appeared on the toll collector's chest, and he fell down. The killer next to the car in front approached and pulled the trigger. Landed on the Santino car.
