Mr. Consultant

Despite Giuseppe's vehement complaints that the wedding ring was something that could not be reimbursed, or even pointless, the young master ignored his hopelessly miserly nature and took Giuseppe straight to the department store in front of the door.Looking at the neon flashing shop sign, Giuseppe suddenly had the urge to sigh.He couldn't figure out where the young master had come up with the idea to make such a ridiculous decision, to do such a frightening thing.

What's more, the relationship between them is built up of unforgettable life and death, and real interests. It doesn't need the so-called guarantees of the world, let alone the recognition and affirmation of any other power.They just know clearly in their hearts that this kind of love, this kind of stupid, damned love, is their inescapable destiny for each other, and it is also their almost invisible tenderness towards this world.

They are all used to being ugly and listening to vicious characters, and they have the deepest experience and the most ruthless insights into the cruel world before them.But this kind of love made them unable to help themselves, and they had a little naive expectation for their future.This kind of expectation, in the eyes of these persistent gentlemen, is a kind of motivation that can make people swim upstream.They are all for that little hope, for that little vision, they don't hesitate to stain their hands with blood, and they don't hesitate to commit numerous crimes.

This is their life, and it is their constant enmity.

If they had the chance, they might not want to choose such a life, this fate of dancing on the tip of a knife with no way out.The suffering they experienced was as complete as the fame and fortune they gained was so rich.But they didn't regret it, at least before the moment the bullet sank into their chests, they never had the slightest regret.In this world, there are always people who are going to do some dirty things, and some people are always going to rely on some dirty means to achieve some ulterior purpose.

And these gentlemen are destined to be unable to live like ordinary people, unable to live a life of contentment like ordinary people.Their desire is strong enough to strip them of the protection of the commonplace and allow them to build something great.In the final analysis, perhaps in the mind, everyone has this idea of ​​transcending barriers, which is the sin brought out of paradise, imposed on human beings themselves, and fulfilling human desires.These irremediable weaknesses, while destructive, also make people never lose their strength.

But even if the truth is clear, it still cannot persuade the young master to give up his delusions.Xavier took the consultant by the wrist and tried to use his status as the head of the family to persuade or threaten Giuseppe to walk into the mall with him.After hearing this, the consultant just looked at him coldly, and then laughed at the dignified leader of Barone for wanting to use the Ten Commandments to complete a thoughtless marriage proposal.

Xavier suddenly had a headache, and he warned the consultant that because of the fact that they had left Chicago secretly, it was best not to make such an act of attracting crowds on the streets of New York.But Giuseppe remained silent, staring straight at him and sneering, with the vision of continuing that expression.

There's nothing Xavier can do about it but resort to some brazen tactics.He told the consultant that, as Barone's chief bookkeeper, Giuseppe himself could reimburse these inexplicable things without anyone noticing.Because of his words, the creepy emotion in Giuseppe's eyes became more distinct.While muttering "I can't embezzle public funds", he took out his passbook from the briefcase, and let the young master have a good look at what it means to be free-spirited by a rich man.

All of the above made Don Gilardino's promise less important in the eyes of everyone in Barone.Before boarding the train back to Chicago, Giuseppe informed Gustavo of the results of the meeting and asked about Barone.The second-in-command told Giuseppe that everything was fine in Chicago and that Lorenzo might have discovered their purpose, but in any case, Don Gilardino's decision hadn't been known yet.

Giuseppe considered this for a while, and of course he could let Gustavo launch some kind of sudden attack while their opponents and Maldini were not even aware of those terrible attempts.But that was undoubtedly risky. After all, he and Xavier were still in New York. If the war could not end in a short time, he would have to borrow from Don Gilardino.And if even more unfortunate, the outcome of the war is unsatisfactory, they are very likely to be used by the gentlemen of the New York Committee as a tool to make an apology.

Giuseppe would never put his life in the hands of others, let alone entrust the life of the young master to some people who are as hypocritical as himself.Therefore, he asked Gustavo to clear the surrounding buildings of the brownstone building as soon as possible, and asked the important people in the "big garden" to immediately transfer to that building for office.He also asked Gustavo to tell the soldiers in the family to prepare to sleep on mattresses, and asked him to send someone to find out the address of the safe house and inspect the war materials in the warehouse.They're going to be ready for war, and the headquarters is at the Brownstone.

Gustavo listened to his orders and immediately set about putting these complicated arrangements into practice.He called Fernando and Cesare and asked them to be responsible for the army and logistics respectively, and asked them to fulfill the consultant's request secretly and quickly, showing Barone's determination.He also asked his spies to step up the investigation of Maldini's situation. Gustavo believed that Lorenzo would not fully believe the young master's words, and it was very possible that he was also planning some terrible things in private. .He wants to make sure that he understands Maldini's movements and will not miss the opportunity in the war due to delays in intelligence.Gustavo has already experienced countless wars, and he understands the simplest truths contained in them.

As a result, troops disguised as civilians stationed around the brownstone building one after another.Their weapons were loaded into the truck of the moving company, and delivered to the door of each accommodation with the logistics that Barone was proud of. □□, machine gun, □□, for the first time, the consultant armed the soldiers from head to toe regardless of the cost.

And on the second-floor platform of the Brownstone Building, a huge map of Chicago was nailed to a tall billboard.The desks are piled together in a long strip shape, with countless documents and materials, as well as old-fashioned telephones of different models.The black rubber pipes on the telephone flowed down the table like a waterfall, spread out on the ground, beside the busy footsteps of those gentlemen.

In the building, loud bells rang one after another, and the cornermen listened to the reports of their subordinates while scribbling on paper with pens to record the news.They ran, passing the information in their hands to Gustavo, Cesare or Fernando, informing them of the latest progress in combat preparations and the latest situation in the city.They were all waiting, waiting for the return of the consultant, waiting for his order.In their blood, those thug elements are restless, using the rushing speed to arouse their emotions and make them excited.

The consultant, under such circumstances, returned to the land of Chicago.He looked at the neatly lined up soldiers behind the glass revolving door, and at the dense crowd on the marble steps, he suddenly felt a little inexplicable excitement.He watched the little young master smiling and waving at people, and talking nonsense to them, and suddenly felt that it would be better to have this kind of heroic treatment less often.He was a little impatient, and touched Xavier's back, asking him to announce Don Gilardino's decision as soon as possible, so as to officially start the liquidation with Maldini, until the liquidation reached even the capital with interest.

So, the young master had no choice but to stop his stupid behavior. He cleared his throat and said to everyone in the brownstone building:

"The big man in New York, the honorable Don Gilardino, let me tell you, please don't hesitate to get what you want.

Our war is about to begin. "

However, his words were quite miraculous, and failed to stir up the slightest movement in the crowd.People just stared at the platinum ring on the young master's ring finger and the bright diamonds set on it.Then, as if they had a tacit understanding, they moved their eyes to the consultant's hand in unison.They were a little surprised, and a little inexplicably terrified, but none of them dared to ask some obvious questions.

It was only then that Giuseppe realized some important things in his heart. He didn't seem to have explained his relationship with Xavier to family members other than the second-in-command, and he didn't even have the slightest vision to disclose this relationship.In this way, he was dazzled by Don Gilardino's promise, and was taken away by the young master's chatter, and then he made this kind of irreversible, non-nutritive and ridiculous behavior.

At this moment, he really wanted to explain a few words, but the wedding rings on their hands were so vivid that they were worth a thousand words.Giuseppe had no choice but to hold up the palm of the young master who was still in a daze, and then ordered unceremoniously with a face like a rascal:

"Things are what you think they are, so you can go to work now!"

The young master watched the crowd disperse like a tide, and considered Giuseppe's remarks several times in his mind, before he found the reason for the consultant's depression.He doesn't hate this kind of hindsight, after all, neither he nor Giuseppe are too smart in some dispensable places.Thinking of this, he held the consultant's hand instead, and dragged him up the stairs.Unfortunately, however, he had not recovered from the whole farce, so he felt that the sunlight cast by the octagonal bay window and the wide marble staircase were very similar to a wedding in a church.He even imagined the appearance of the consultant wearing a wedding dress, but thankfully, before he could say this idea, Gustavo interrupted him with the arm.

The second-in-command briefed them on the situation in Chicago and told them where several key forts were located.He planned to use the advance troops to pull out Maldini's outpost directly, and try to find a way to go around their command post. They not only wanted to destroy Lorenzo, but also found the traces of Don Maldini.After pulling out the outposts, the assassination troops will start to snipe the opponent's corners, and a large number of soldiers will flock to their bookkeeping points, and then occupy them one by one.

Giuseppe agreed with his strategy, summoned the leaders of the army separately in the conference room, and explained the detailed steps and timing to them.After that, the consultant confirmed to Cesare, the head of the old city, the guarantee of war logistics and the problems of some related units.The hornet answered Giuseppe's doubts quite neatly, but he was kicked out of the office by the consultant at the same time as he said the words "Happy Newly Married".

Xavier discussed with Gustavo and set the time for the war to be the night after tomorrow.The second-in-command faltered, eager to find out about Xavier and Giuseppe, because that was an indispensable topic in the "big garden".Xavier wasn't afraid of the probing, because in some ways it was in his interest to let the world know.But unfortunately, the consultant appeared behind him like a ghost, and almost asked him to repay the part of the wedding ring arrears and the corresponding interest.

In short, everything is brisk and tense, and the night after tomorrow comes when the war starts.Accompanied by the young master's short order on the radio, gunshots sounded on the ground of Chicago.Their opponents, Maldini, were not prepared for this and were crushed in the first two or three days.Although Lorenzo quickly organized a counterattack afterwards, under Giuseppe's all-out offensive, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Barone's thugs reveled, dragging the bodies of their enemies into the streets, hanging inexplicable signs, and singing songs while arranging the shell casings for the family cross.Marks painted with blood are everywhere, and death has become the most daily scene and the most common thing in Chicago.The sound of machine guns echoed in the narrow streets like drums, bringing Barone's roar and doomsday advice for decades of grievances.

At No. 13 days, the war showed signs of ending.Barone's advance troops found Maldini's command post, ruthlessly leveled the entire building, wounding Lorenzo and his secretary.In this battle, there was another wonderful harvest. They asked about the whereabouts of Don Maldini from a prisoner of war.Locked up in an abandoned cellar, the poor old man mistook Barone's rescue force for Salvatore's soldiers.

When he heard that the adviser of Maldini had been sent to hell by Lorenzo, tears fell from his cloudy eyes, which were almost blind, and there was a little emotion that should not belong to a Mafia member.He crossed himself and begged Christ to forgive his sins.The all-powerful Don Maldini, who was comparable to Al, was just a frail old man at the moment when he lost everything, without the slightest ability to resist.

He didn't try to make Barone let go of his son, or even try to make Barone let go of himself. He knew that this was the fate of people like them.If he fails, he will pay the price of failure and suffer the torture of fame and fortune.

On the 17th day of the war, news of Maldini's surrender came. Lorenzo died of his injuries and the army's ammunition was exhausted.But Giuseppe didn't forgive them, and neither did Xavier. The cruel and cruel personality in them broke out, making them exterminate and making them moralless.

Everything came to an end on the day of No.20, and it was only three hundred days since the young master was driven from the street to the alley.Barone completed a unique reversal in the history of the Mafia, and without boasting, he became the only leader in Chicago.

Of course, the counselor had to shove a lot of money into Parliament and the courts and say a lot of good things because of the war-time nonsense of the family members before finally calming down the whole thing.But it doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't make any sense——

Because the war is over, because they won.
