Superman of the American Comics - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36 Return to New York, Casino Planning]

Two days later, Luke, wearing a brigadier general’s military uniform, walked off the ship in a crowd.

Set foot on the grounds of the port of Palermo, and the marina vacant is packed with the Mafia who have come to greet you.

A gang of ferocious thugs in suits and leather shoes lined up neatly, led by Alessandro.

Eisenhower’s Anglo-American coalition had taken over Italy and launched a siege on those Fascist (xi) elements who were trying to revive, just as Mussolini swept the Mafia.

The feng shui turns, and now it’s time for the mafia to take revenge.

“General…”

Glancing at Luke’s epaulettes and the pomp behind him, Alessandro carefully changed his name.

This mafia leader is still humble, even more respectful than before.

Following Luke may have been the best decision of his life.

Two weeks ago, the opponent was only an Allied captain, and now he has been promoted to brigadier general.

The speed of this promotion is like getting on a rocket!

Moreover, Luke is still a recognized war hero from all over the Allies, a legend who led his troops to conquer Italy!

Such a world-shaking deed, even a hundred years later, will be talked about with relish.

Alessandro thinks that he can appear in it, just like being written down in history.

What an honor it is for a gangster to receive such an honor!

“Mrs. Malena is still staying in the original hotel. After knowing the news that you have returned to Sicily, she is preparing to pick up the dust for you.”

Alessandro bent slightly, he knew that this time was different from the past, and even his attitude towards Malena became respectful.

“Why didn’t she come to the port?”

Luke looked up and looked at the onlookers outside the pier.

Many people were eager to see what the legendary figure Roosevelt and Churchill dubbed “Superman” looked like.

“Mrs. Malena said that it is not convenient for her to appear in public with you, General.”

Alessandro nodded.

Luke’s eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said softly, “I see. Xhosa, are you still satisfied with your current life?”

“I’m very satisfied! The sheriff of the town has a lot of respect for me. The governor of Palermo came to visit me yesterday, all thanks to you.”

Alessandro nodded.

Power and status, he has already obtained.

In Sicily now, anyone who sees himself will take off his hat and call him “Your Excellency”.

Even the boss of the Kemora family is the same.

Luke looked around, looked at the fierce mafia members, and said as he walked, “I can give you another chance to choose. After the war, the Allied countries have different opinions on what to do with Italy.”

“The United States believes that Italy should be entrusted to the United Nations, while the British only value overseas colonies. If they want to swallow these cakes, the Soviets think it is more secure to jointly trust the three countries. For the time being, no one can convince anyone.”

Alessandro frowned and mused, the future of the country determined the future path of the Mafia.

Luke, who sat in the car, continued: “No matter what the result is, the Mafia family is destined to decline. You are just a product of a period of social instability. Once order is restored, the country will strike. Just like Mussolini. After coming to power, in order to win public opinion, it will be the same as killing you.”

“Xhosa, I affirm your ability. So, you can choose to stay in Sicily, continue to enjoy life, and be a family manager…”

“Or, go with me to the North American continent, where there are more opportunities.”

Luke closed his eyes after speaking, as if resting and waiting for a reply.

Alessandro thought for a long time,

Eyes change.

He was speechless all the way, until he finally made a decision before arriving at the hotel.

“General, it is my greatest honor to be able to follow you!”

Luke, who got out of the car, just smiled and didn’t say anything more.

…

…

Luke returned to New York with the Howling Commandos, this time without having to live in his old Brooklyn house.

Instead, he was warmly greeted by a group of high-ranking officials and moved into a luxurious room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

It was the world’s first skyscraper hotel and has quite a history.

At the beginning of its construction, President Hoover also delivered a congratulatory speech in the Cabinet Office of the White House.

As he said, the Waldorf Astoria is a benchmark in New York, has always been loved by dignitaries from all over the world, and has witnessed many historically important events.

For example, after the end of World War II, representatives of the four victorious countries of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union signed the “World Peace Agreement” in a suite in their tower.

The tower is not small. It has hosted the King of Monaco, Queen Elizabeth I and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Today, Luke has the privilege of living in a tower suite at the Waldorf Astoria, like countless celebrities.

“This is really…”

Malena looked up at the bright and bright crystal chandeliers and the luxurious furnishings, as if falling into a dream.

It never occurred to her that she, from the Sicilian countryside, would one day live in such a house.

Happiness came so suddenly that Malena couldn’t believe it.

Moreover, no man now stares at himself with undisguised greed.

All this is because she is Luke’s lover.

Power and status provided shelter to a poor woman who was supposed to have a miserable fate.

“You will settle here temporarily, and Xhosa will protect your safety.”

Luke leaned into the soft sofa, and Malena sat on his lap.

Alessandro took about three hundred people and followed him out of Sicily to the unfamiliar North American continent.

Their compatriots have already made their way to high-end venues, making friends with politicians and Hollywood stars.

“I never believed in gangsters, but they sometimes do the dirty work for you. The mafia who came across the ocean to America had no other option but to hold on to my thigh.”

Luke sniffed the fragrance of the mature girl’s hair and said leisurely.

He is now a brigadier general, and after defeating the Axis and Hydra, he may go a step further and become the youngest major general in the history of the Federation.

But status is not everything. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com needs to have funds, connections, and intertwined interest groups to support it.

The Mafia can serve as a cornerstone in this special period.

Luke targeted Las Vegas, Nevada, a gold mine that could be tapped.

In the early years, the United States was in the Great Depression. In order to stimulate the economy and tide over the difficulties, the Nevada state legislature passed a motion to legalize gambling.

Since then, Las Vegas has become a gambling city, but it is far from the well-known level of later generations.

Luke, who used to be in the Irish gang, didn’t want to touch the lucrative business of smuggling and drugs.

That would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and in the end, it would even turn into an embarrassing situation where I had to constantly wipe my ass for the Mafia.

And Las Vegas gaming, hotels, and security are all areas where the Mafia can flex its muscles.

Taking advantage of the fact that the casino has not yet developed, it should be a surprise to get involved first.

In the original timeline, Las Vegas was originally paved by Benjamin Siegel, who was also a member of the Mafia. He raised six million dollars to build a flamingo hotel and a large casino, which attracted people all over the world. tycoon.

“You can always see the long-term.”

Malena said admiringly, before she was laid down on the sofa.

His jet-black wavy hair spread out like a lotus flower, and his beautiful face was flushed with blush.

“It’s daytime…”

Marianne said weakly.

“Don’t get me wrong, I just thought this sofa was soft and wanted to test the quality.”

Luke’s mouth was serious and his hands were skilled.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, there is a faint sound of car horns.
