Chapter 147: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Waiting for the Yellow Bird Behind



A few days ago.

Raymond suddenly received a call from Emilio Basini, the patriarch of the Mafia's Basini family.

"Raymond, are you interested in making a deal?" Basini asked.

"Emilio Basini, what do you want to do, you old fox?!" Raymond spoke to Basini rudely.

Outsiders think that the Irish and the Mafia are at loggerheads with each other and often fight over territory and interests, so they think they have no connection. In fact, this is not the case. Sometimes, in order to make money, the two sides will communicate.

Of course.

Certainly not friends.

Everything is just for profit.

Basini didn't mind Raymond calling him an old fox at all, and smiled and said, "Are you interested in Los Angeles?"

"What do you mean? Los Angeles is Siegel's territory. What do you want to do?" Raymond asked in confusion.

Basini said bitterly, "That bastard Siegel cheated us. He took money from us and invested millions in building a casino in Las Vegas, but the casino closed down after only three months of operation."

"He must have embezzled so much money. He must return the money. We are ready to deal with him and take over the casino."

Raymond had heard about Siegel's plan to build a casino, which had now become a joke on the street.

Raymond understood a little.

"You want to get rid of Siegel, and then Los Angeles will be vacant. Do you want to trade Los Angeles with me?"

"Siegel's Jewish gang occupies the best real estate in Los Angeles, and their assets are estimated to be worth millions," said Basini.

It would be a lie to say Raymond wasn't tempted.

"So what do you want?" Raymond asked.

"It's simple. We want Las Vegas. After the success, Las Vegas will belong to our families. The Irish Gang will not be able to force its way in and steal our business," said Basini.

In other words,

Basini was prepared to use the Los Angeles territory to exchange with Raymond for the Irish help to prevent them from entering Las Vegas to compete for business.

In fact, Basini did not contribute anything to this business. The so-called millions of assets of the Jewish gang had nothing to do with him.

And Raymond didn't have to pay anything. There were no Irish industries in Las Vegas. Now Siegel was still the ruler of Las Vegas. Raymond only needed to make a promise not to enter Las Vegas.

The real loser was Siegel.

The Jewish gang's territories and industries were divided up.

The Las Vegas industry was seized by four major families.

Just like that, the two old foxes reached a deal. Raymond called his military advisor David and asked him to go to Los Angeles to talk to Hemi Weiss.

There is no complete affiliation between gangs. Although Hemiweis is a member of the Irish gang, he is not Raymond's subordinate. If Raymond wants to get a piece of the pie in Los Angeles, he naturally has to deal with Hemiweis.

Raymond called Hemiweis first, and David arrived in Los Angeles the next day. Hemiweis was actually a little resistant to Raymond's desire to intervene in Los Angeles.

David smiled and said, "Haimi, do you think you can unify the entire Los Angeles underground world with your power?"

Hemiweis was stunned.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew he didn't have that ability.

Not to mention unification, even in Los Angeles, his North Coast Gang only ranked third.

The original ranking of Los Angeles was Jewish Gang, North Shore Gang, Spanish Gang and Mexican Gang, and now it is Jewish Gang, Bill Gang, North Shore Gang and Mexican Gang.

After the Bill Gang showed up, they squeezed out the North Shore Gang.

Not to mention a unified underground world.

"Hami, do you want to be the underground emperor of Los Angeles?" David asked.

Hemiweis's breathing quickened a little after hearing what David said. Being the underground emperor, that was the pinnacle of his life that he had dreamed of.

Just like Al Capone in Chicago and Raymond in Detroit, Capone controlled the mayor and council members, and Raymond controlled the Detroit labor unions. They could both be called underground emperors.

"Of course I do," Hemiweis confirmed.

"Haha, Chairman Raymond said that as long as we cooperate, this goal can be achieved. After unifying Los Angeles, Los Angeles will still be yours. We just want to share the profits. How about it?" David said.

"What are you going to do?" Hemivis asked.

David leaned close to Hemiweis's ear and whispered a few words. The more Hemiweis listened, the brighter his eyes became.

There is going to be an internal conflict within the Mafia, and someone wants to kill Siegel. Once Siegel dies, the entire Jewish gang will be leaderless. Raymond also promises that he will send people to help him, to destroy the Jewish gang first, then other gangs, and finally unify Los Angeles.

By then,

Hemi Weiss is the underground king of Los Angeles.

The desire to become the underground emperor overcame his reason, and Hemiweis agreed to cooperate with Raymond. The two sides negotiated how to divide the profits. Finally, Hemiweis agreed to give Raymond 16% of the profits of the North Shore Gang in the future.

But Hemiweis also had a request that within three years, Raymond must help him become a member of the Irish Joint Committee.

David called Raymond and Raymond agreed.

The underground deal was concluded.

In the following days,

Sixty or seventy people came from Detroit one after another. These people were all Raymond's best men. The North Shore Gang also prepared a combat force of about two hundred people.

Today.

Several pieces of news came one after another that the four major families in New York officially took action against the Corrion family, killing the eldest son Sonny of the Corrion family by bombing him to death, and then sent someone to assassinate the third son Mike.

In the evening, Siegel and Fred were at home and were shot to death by the killer.

It is now certain that the Mafia infighting has begun.

Raymond sneered when he heard the news.

"The greatest harm to an organization does not come from external enemies, but often from divisions within the organization."

"In the past, the Mafia was very powerful and always suppressed other forces. This time, the fight between the five major families will definitely involve other Mafia families. All 24 Mafia families will be affected. No matter what the final result is, the Mafia will inevitably decline after this incident."

"Haha, Barzini always thinks he's smart, but he's actually just a fool who only cares about the immediate benefits. Vito Corrion is the one who can see the world most clearly, but it's a pity that those guys want to kill him."

"I'm afraid this group of ignorant people will not have a good ending."

But this is good news for the Irish. As one thing goes up, another goes down. The time has come for the Irish to rise and surpass the Mafia.

Raymond called David in Los Angeles and told him it was time to take action.

That's it.

Hemie Weiss sent someone to capture Allen Payne.

“Swish~!”

Hemie Weiss pulled out a revolver from the waist of his subordinate next to him and pointed it at Allen Payne's head, scaring Allen Payne so much that he trembled.

"Alan, if you don't want to die, I advise you to know the situation and choose to surrender, otherwise your body will float in the Los Angeles River tomorrow."

Allen Payne looked entangled, "Haimi, it's useless to force me. You know my identity. I'm just a military advisor of the Jewish Gang."

"The gang leaders are all Fred's men. Even if I ask them to surrender, I'm afraid they won't listen to me."

Haimi thought about it and put away the gun.

He believed what Allen said because in the North Shore Gang, those managers and army commanders were all his people. If his military advisor wanted to betray him, these people would definitely not listen.

Haimi looked at David: "Mr. David, what do you think we should do now?"

David thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take action. Send people to seize the Jewish gang's property. If anyone resists, kill them all."

Soon,

Dozens of cars left the North Shore Gang station and rushed in all directions.

The main industries of the Jewish gang include gambling, tobacco and alcohol smuggling, usury and brothels.

Three of the four casinos are located in Jewish gang territory and one is located in Biel gang territory.

The tobacco and alcohol smuggling business has a huge warehouse in the Jewish gang’s territory, which contains tobacco and alcohol worth no less than hundreds of thousands.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening and there were very few vehicles on the street. A few dozen cars whizzing past were very conspicuous.

A convoy came to the tobacco and alcohol warehouse. The iron door of the warehouse was closed, and a large truck rushed towards the iron door.

"Bang~!"

The iron gate was knocked open.

Dozens of Irishmen armed with machine guns and pistols rushed into the warehouse. The Jewish gang realized that something was wrong and came out with guns, but they were greeted with a burst of shooting.

"Tick, tick, tick~Bang, bang, bang."

Several Jewish gang members who were guarding the storehouse were instantly beaten to death.

The Irish occupied the Jewish gang's tobacco and wine warehouse as quickly as possible. The leader approached the warehouse and turned on the lights. The huge warehouse was filled with cigarettes and red wine. He immediately laughed, "Haha, this is a fortune. The tobacco and wine in this warehouse are estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands."

More than just a tobacco and alcohol warehouse,

Other Irish teams rushed to other industries of the Jewish Gang.

......

At the same time,

Hardy received an emergency notice from Henry.

"Boss, the North Shore Gang suddenly launched a massive attack, attacking the Jewish Gang's tobacco and liquor warehouse, casino, and brothel, and even occupied the Jewish Gang's office building. What should we do?"

Hardy was slightly startled.

He had not expected that the attacker would be an Irishman.

Are the Irish trying to take advantage of the situation, or have they reached an agreement with others? Whatever the reason, Hardy will not let them succeed.

Hardy thought for a moment and told Henry:

"Notify all patrol vehicles to go to support these places. Also, have Lanster notify the Los Angeles Police Department and tell them that a large-scale gang attack has occurred and request police to be dispatched."

After hanging up the phone, Hardy looked at Bill beside him and said with a smile: "Bill, do you want to destroy the Irish Gang?"

"Of course I do." Bill said.

The Bildungsgang is on good terms with the Jewish gang, and because of Hardy, it also has a good relationship with the Chinese gang. The Mexicans dare not provoke the Bildungsgang. The only people they don't deal with are the Irish. The Irish are ruthless, and the Bildungsgang has had several conflicts with them for interests.

"The Irish are now going all out to capture the Jewish gang's territory, so their lair must be empty. Prepare your men and wait for my news. We may be able to wipe out the Irish tonight."

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The North Shore gang took action.

Hardy, on the other hand, was not worried.

He was afraid that the enemy would hide in the dark and attack him, but he came openly. In this small area of ​​Los Angeles, he was really not afraid of anyone.
