The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 78: The Tactic of Driving Tigers and Devouring Wolves (Part 2)

Of course, it is impossible to expect the whole of Gotham to follow the command of the godfather wholeheartedly. The most indispensable thing in Gotham is rebellious thorns, and now, the best of them is Sal Maroney.

Maroni is quite ambitious, as can be seen from the names he gave his gangsters. In Gotham, not all gangsters can be named after their surnames. At first, only the Falcone family could do so. And now the twelve gangster families established by Falcone are all named after their surnames, and the rest of the gangsters are all named after their respective code names.

Naming a gangster with your own surname is a matter of great honor in Gotham, as Falcone was the first to do so with unrivaled success.

Maroni did this, which meant that he had the ambition to challenge the godfather from the very beginning.

After the Red Crow Gang was wiped out, Maroney ate most of its remains, and along the way he also wiped out another gangster who had always been against him. On that street in the East District, he was almost invincible.

Of course he wants to go further, especially because he knows that the godfather is old, and the time when the Falcone family is changing from old to new is the best opportunity to make a move.

Falcone entrusted Evans to take care of many properties. Although Evans is also very smart, he is less sophisticated and ruthless than the old godfather. The two bartenders who were attacked by outsiders from the metropolis this time were exactly From two pubs that Evans wants to reform.

From this incident, Maroni keenly sensed the fact that the godfather is weak in succession. Little Falcone is still too young. He wants to reform, but he does not have the hot and decisive methods of the old godfather. He wants to maintain stability. But without enough seasoned experience, Maroni thought, this is a good time to deal a fatal blow to the Falcone family.

In Maroney's speculation, he felt that the godfather would not go to war to deal with those murderers. Although losing face might shake his prestige, the godfather is indeed old, and the transfer of power is more important than face. , At this very important juncture, once the energy is dispersed, there is a high possibility of big troubles, and Falcone will not make big mistakes because of small losses.

Originally, Maroni wanted to use this to make a big fuss to further shake the prestige of the godfather, and he even planned to pretend to be a member of the Metropolis to attack the other industries of the godfather, but who knew that Schiller was hospitalized in situ, and the gang They started chasing and killing the group of murderers like crazy.

Maroney couldn't be punished this time.

Originally, he thought that it would be fine even if the godfather hunted down those murderers, as long as his energy was drawn, he would always find an opportunity to eat away at the Falcone family's property.

Maroni is a bold person. He doesn't think the godfather has any unshakable dominance. Even if there is, he wants to bite off a piece of meat from him.

But to his surprise, the whole Gotham City became restless, and almost all the gangsters began to dig three feet into the ground.

Under such a big commotion, Maroni was also uncertain. If he did it now, would the godfather target him like crazy? He wanted to engage in a sneak attack, not to really stand on the stage and fight the Falcone family, but he couldn't beat it either.

But if he didn't do anything, Maroni had already made some small moves. If this wave passed and he hadn't gained a firm foothold, then the godfather would settle the score later, and he would be completely finished.

Just when he was struggling, to his surprise, the leader of the gang took the initiative to find him.

This group of people is also unlucky enough. They were originally a group of terrorists active in the Middle East, and they worked as group mercenaries all year round. another list.

The employer is very generous, so they work very hard, but who knows that Gotham is a ghost place, even if Satan comes, it will not work. They are chased and fled all over the city. They are all under the control of the gangster family, and they can't get out yet.

As a last resort, they can only find the enemy's enemy to cooperate.

Even Gordon knew about Maroni's provocation of the godfather. Of course, these gangsters also knew that they wanted to make a deal with Maroni. As long as Maroni was willing to send them out of Gotham, they could Solved a problem for Maroni before.

Maroney didn't want to do this business at first, but he thought that this group of people could survive for so long under the siege of gangsters all over Gotham. more.

Of course, Maroni would not let this group of people assassinate the godfather. It was meaningless, and this group of people would not do it, so he set his sights on another link in the newly developed industrial chain of the godfather, that is, the police.

Maroni knows that the godfather has obtained a lot of profits from this new industrial chain. If this continues, the rule of the Falcone family will still be stable, and he will have no chance, so he must To get rid of this industrial chain, the private prison model under the control of Falcone cannot continue to provide him with so much profit.

The police and judges are indeed an important part of this industrial chain. After all, only if they arrest people legally and reasonably, and then try them, can criminals be thrown into mental hospitals.

Falcone will make great efforts to protect Schiller, just because he feels that he is not very capable of protecting himself, but he has provided the police with so much firepower, so he doesn't pay attention to them anymore. Local policemen are more or less capable, and with enough weapons, self-protection is still no problem.

Maroney took aim at Gordon.

At the beginning, in order to deal with the old chief Victor, Maroni chose to support Gordon to the position. He didn't know the policeman in detail at the time, and he felt that he didn't need to understand it. The policemen in Gotham are all the same, and they cooperate with gangsters. It's really a normal thing, even if it's a small clerk serving tea and water in the office, there is at least one gangster standing behind him.

Maroney felt that since he helped Gordon to the position, as long as he talked to him, he would naturally let Gordon work for him.

Although it is dangerous to betray the godfather to him from the industry chain, but now that there is such a group of gangsters, the soft ones are not enough, and the hard ones can still come.

Gordon was very happy at this time, because his fiancée Barbara finally arrived in Gotham.

He and Barbara met at the Chicago police training school when he was a reserve officer and Barbara was a trainee lawyer, they worked together on the same practice case, fell in love and got engaged.

Then, Gordon came to Gotham to work. Originally, they could only have a long-distance relationship, because the two of them were not financially rich and could not quit their jobs, let alone think about marriage and having children. But now Gordon's financial situation has improved. , they chose to come to Gotham to live together.

On this day, Gordon came home from get off work as usual. Although he didn't have any extra money recently, Barbara also had some savings. The sum of their money was just enough to buy a nice apartment.

He and Barbara made an appointment to see the house tonight. If everything goes well, they will be able to move into their new home within two weeks, and they will no longer have to live in this old rental house.

When he got home, he heard Barbara come out, and the smell of food wafted from the kitchen. Gordon took off his coat and said, What did you do? It smells so good!

Your favorite roast lamb ribs. Barbara blinked, and Gordon helped her shoulders and walked to the restaurant with her.

My friend gave me a good suggestion. I contacted the landlord of Pelican Community. We will go and see the house there tomorrow. If we are satisfied, we can pay a deposit and move out immediately.

It's amazing, Barbara said. You know, my family is not very good. I've never lived in a high-end apartment. Does that house have a baby room? I really want a daughter. I little princess!

Of course, I think so too. Gordon kissed Barbara on the cheek, and then they sat down to eat separately.

I want my daughter to learn dance. I originally wanted to be a dancer, but unfortunately I didn't have that opportunity.

If you went to be a dancer, you wouldn't know me? Gordon said with a smile, he said: I think our daughter should be free, she can do whatever she wants, learn to dance , learn to paint, or become an excellent lawyer like you.

Come on. Barbara said with a helpless look, This job is exhausting. I don't want her to become a lawyer. She'd better live an easier life.

Dancing is the same. It's only because you haven't learned it before that you are full of yearning for it. I saw the students in the cheerleading troupe at Gotham University stretch their legs every day. Some dance students also complained that this industry is Youth rice, when you get old, it's easy to lose your job...

You're really stressing me out, saying, what if our kids aren't doing well? Barbara asked.

You have to have faith in her, and it's her own choice to live like that.

Even if you are a policeman in such a dangerous city like you?

Oh, honey... Gordon said, don't say that.

I know, you told me a long time ago that your dream is to be a policeman, because you were born in Chicago, an equally dangerous city, and a policeman saved your mother, so you also want to be a justice police.

But this job is really too dangerous. I've said it more than once. We can go back to my natal family to live together. It doesn't matter if we have a little financial constraints. It's always safe.

Gordon sighed. He actually knew what Barbara said was right. With the money he earned now, if he went to the countryside in Arizona, he could buy a villa. At that time, he would find an auxiliary policeman in the local area. What a job it is, Barbara being a legal counsel, it's really easy and happy.

But even though Gordon knew Gotham was a ghostly place, he just didn't want to leave.

What's the point, he thought, if the police couldn't be in a most dangerous place to protect people?
