It has been more than eight years now.

Knight was very anxious and said, "Mr. Corleone, how many ships and gold can you give us?"

"If the nine transport planes are intact, and there are two hundred cars, and military supplies such as quilts, I am willing to send out 300 ships and gold worth [-] million lire."

Knight shivered and shook his head: "No, the price you gave is too low. If you are willing to send 500 ships, [-] million lire in gold..."

"Mr. Knight, please understand that although I have a shipping business, I lost more than a dozen ships because of the defeat of the German army in Tunisia! Now there are sixteen ships left, and there are not many gold reserves."

Knight gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then follow the sixteen ships you said, but we want 500 million lire."

"Three hundred cars."

Knight was a little dazed. He didn't think Corleone was a bargainer before. Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune because the German army lost the battle?

"Mr. Knight, there are only three hundred vehicles. As far as I know, the German army has tens of thousands of vehicles in Sicily."

"Good! Deal!"

No matter how harsh the price Russell proposed, Knight would agree.

The first batch of retreating soldiers had already rushed to Messina, and not enough ferries would cause congestion, and with the soldiers so impetuous, congestion would turn into chaos.

As Mussolini once said, failure often starts from within.

It can be seen that he is very experienced.

That night, Russell handed gold worth 500 million lire to Knight, and asked Oriato to send [-] fishing boats to the port of Catania. Board the ship and go directly to Calibria on the Apennine Peninsula. After unloading the soldiers, turn around and return to Messina for the transfer mission.

Of course, Olijatu and others will not participate. How many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers can't find a boat?Then there is no need to evacuate, just dig a hole and bury it on the spot.

When Knight returned to Palermo, he was escorted by [-] workers from the Workers' Association led by Angkos and Niveno. It was not because he was afraid that he would escape, but because he felt unsure that he hadn't seen the transport plane.

Knight sent a special person to send them to the wilderness not far from the airport. Nine transport planes were covered by vegetation. Ankos asked the workers to divide a group to drive the car, and the rest dismantled the transport plane.

Then all the parts were loaded into the car and transported directly to the Mistretta Valley for hiding.

After avoiding the withdrawal of the German army, the U.S. military landed on the island and saw that there were still transport planes to take advantage of.

The remaining tens of thousands of workers in the Workers' Association were not idle. They went to help the German and Italian armies retreat, but when they were helping, someone would stuff some money for the German army, and then the German army would close their eyes and let them carry supplies. .

Anyway, I can’t take it with me, so just take some!

Adolf ordered Huber not to disclose the retreat plan to the troops fighting on the front line, so as not to shake the morale of the army.

But Hu Bei didn't listen at all, he knew too well what his subordinate officers were thinking.

What they are afraid of is not retreat, but the fear of being surrounded and wiped out by the Allied forces, just like the Stalingrad and Tunisian battles, being cut off from the back and left alone.

The soldiers fighting on the front line were originally demoralized, but after hearing Huber's retreat plan.Knowing that they still have a way to survive, they all fought bravely and resisted tenaciously, holding the last line of defense.

In the early morning of August [-], Huber left Messina with the last retreating troops and arrived in mainland Italy.Then a telegram was sent to the southern commander-in-chief Kesselring: "The retreat has been fully completed!"

So far, Huber successfully brought back the German and Italian soldiers who were standing in Sicily back to Italy. At the same time, he also brought back more than 1 vehicles of various models, 47 tanks, 200 cannons, 1000 tons of ammunition, and 1000 tons of gasoline. And various equipment of more than 1.5 tons.

And Russell Corleone made big money too!

With a principal of 500 million lire and 400 ships worth 52 million, they exchanged for nine ju-[-] transport planes, [-] transport vehicles, [-] tons of gasoline, about [-] tons of steel and copper, and [-] tons of ammunition. In addition, there are scrapped aircraft in maintenance warehouses at various airports...

The total value is more than 500 million lire, and the net profit is about twice.

But except for gasoline and steel and copper that can be sold, the rest of Russell is ready to stay and use it to expand his business.

The German troops withdrew, and the American troops landed in Messina.

Afterwards, the British army followed up unsteadily, and the two sides met and shook hands friendly, and walked into the city of Messina together.

Mr. Daishi Harvey led the residents of Messina to welcome the people along the way, with loud gongs and drums and loud applause.

The British and American armies were a little at a loss. Seeing how much the residents welcomed them, they couldn't make things too difficult for the residents.

So far, the Sicily landing battle is over.

The Allied forces suffered a total of nearly 3 casualties, and the German and Italian troops suffered more than 2 casualties and 13 were captured.In addition, 3000 tanks, 260 cannons, and [-] aircraft were lost...

When the British and American armies searched around the island, they were dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, these German donkeys left them nothing, even took away a fucking screw.

Moreover, the British and American armies were still in three or four airports and saw fighter jets camouflaged with wood parked in the hangar. The US commander Patton was furious, calling the German army like dogs.

How many rounds of ammunition were wasted by the British and American air forces because of these camouflaged airfields?It's so fucking badass.

After the Allied forces landed, Russell asked Olijato and others to stop their business. These Yankees and British goods don't follow any rules, and they want to move home when they see good things.

Besides, the Allies and Italy are opposites. It is completely irrational to provoke the Allies at this time. Apart from being shot, there is no benefit at all.

However, that will change next month.

Marlena's belly was swollen, Russell took her to the windmill yard to raise her baby, and took a walk with her to watch the sunset if she had nothing to do.

Since she was pregnant, she has been exercising every day, so her figure has hardly changed, and she has paid more attention to skin care.

Russell was chopping wood in the courtyard when he saw Marlena put on the newly made nun dress for pregnant women.

"Honey, how about this one? Would you like to try it tonight?"

Russell smiled and said, "Dear Marlena, do you want to challenge my weakness?"

Marlena held up her skirt and turned around: "But I just want to eat beef ribs tonight."

"No problem, I'll bake it for you."

During this period, Malena lived a carefree and happy life. Apart from eating and drinking, she could only do handwork to pass the time. There were no entertainment items in this era, and the only way to relieve boredom was to play house with Russell.

Russell also enjoys it. Ever since he gave Marlena a lot of clothing-making suggestions, Marlena seemed to be enlightened, with endless levels of creativity, and he became the first victim.

Seeing that Marlena was about to give birth, Russell suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

Because according to the settings of the heavens, he must leave before the end of the timeline of the movie copy, otherwise he will not be rewarded by the heavens...

Rewards can make his paralyzed body gradually recover, and there are also some unexpected gains.

Not only because of the reward, but also because of his parents who are worried about his illness in reality!

They are over half a hundred years old, but they still work tirelessly to earn money and treat his illnesses for him.

So he has to go back no matter what, even if he can't move on the bed, he can use the rewards from the heavens to restore his body, and he can also bring the money he earned in the dungeon back to reality and improve his family's conditions.

As for whether he can come back?The answer is yes.

Otherwise he wouldn't have bought those transport planes and cars and land!

Chapter 62 Our Child, Much Like You

At present, although the business of oil, sea passenger transportation and trade has stopped, the business of tobacco and wine is running smoothly.

Excluding the dividends to Mal Vertini and others, Russell’s cash box contains 7540 million lire, which are entirely his personal deposits, and the insurance funds and operating records on the books of various companies are not counted. After all, the company’s operations also need money.

For this amount of money, Russell is not very satisfied, because even if all the money is converted into reality, it is only 75.4, which is just enough to buy a small apartment.

So Russell didn't plan to leave after Malena gave birth, and had to stay with her for a while no matter what.

The two lived in the windmill courtyard for more than half a month. When the Allied forces left Sicily to attack the Italian mainland, Russell took Marlena down the mountain to the hospital because she was about to give birth.

The medical level of Palermo Hospital is considered to be the best in the entire island. Malena lives in a luxurious single-person ward and consumes 40 lire a day for accommodation. Due to the sharp depreciation of the lira, the current [-] is equivalent to Four hundred in [-] years.

It's not very expensive, after all, this is the wife of the Sicilian godfather, if she gives birth to a boy, then this child will be the heir of the Corleone family!

So, it has to be taken seriously.

Sylvana followed from the small town and took care of Marlena.

Philisto personally protected Russell, and sent people to watch at the door of the ward in turn. Even the doctor had to be searched to confirm his identity during rounds, and strangers couldn't get close at all.

Don't think this is overkill, it's actually very necessary.

In the suite next to the ward, Philisto lit a cigar for Russell and stood at the door.

Olijato sat on the chair directly opposite Russell and reported.

"Godfather, our tobacco and wine business brought us a profit of 600 million lire last month. Harvey, City of Messina, let me ask if you can provide tobacco and alcohol to the Allies, according to the normal market price."

Russell exhaled smoke and said: "Of course we can provide it. Selling is not selling? Let Nuo Siding and Harvey learn from it. The oil town is shut down, but we have no other business to do? If there is no profit, create profit, no If there is an opportunity to make a profit, grab it and fight for it.”

"Yes."

Oliatu nodded and said, "Godfather, those who led the allied forces have also found out."

"Tell me."

"They were Italian-Americans who fled to New York to escape disaster when Mussolini was rounding up the Italian Mafia."

"After the Allied forces landed in Sicily, these people led the way and ransacked the main government building, the airport, and the bank... Although the Allied forces did not get anything, their behavior is undoubtedly treason!"

"Now, these people are asking about our tobacco companies and seem to want to cooperate."

Russell crossed his legs and meditated. After a while, he put the cigar on the ashtray and said, "If they want to ship tobacco to New York, then sell them at [-]% of the retail price. If they have other plans, then cancel them in advance." intention of."

"Understood! Godfather, what if they want to go back to Sicily?"

"Then let them sleep forever in Sicily. Remember, dogs who are forced to flee and want to go home can't get rid of the problem of eating shit. Once they make a nest in Sicily, they will think it is their territory. Meet swordsmen."

Oliatu understood, "Okay, if they want to stay, then we will cancel their attempt in advance."

At this moment, the sound of running came from the corridor, and Sylvana shouted loudly: "Mr. Corleone!"

Philisto turned to look at Russell, under his gaze, Philisto opened the door.

Sylvana stood at the door panting, "Mr. Corleone, Madam is about to give birth."

Russell jumped up from the sofa, strode out of the room, and walked towards the delivery room.

The three of Sylvana followed closely behind.

At the door of the delivery room, when Russell arrived, Malena was lying on the push bed.

He stepped forward and grabbed Marlena's hand, and said, "How is it?"

"Don't worry, there will be no danger."

Russell looked at her pale, sweaty face, stood up and said to the doctor, "According to what we talked about before, we must minimize the risks."

Doctor: "Yes, Mr. Corleone, I am the best obstetrician in Sicily, you can trust me completely."

"Okay!" Russell leaned over to Malena and said, "I'm just outside, I won't go anywhere."

Malena nodded, and was pushed into the delivery room by the nurse.

Russell was a little anxious in the corridor. After all, he had never experienced such a thing. He was looking forward to it and worried at the same time. After all, the bloody plots on TV would always cause something to happen when pregnant women gave birth, which was very disgusting.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the nurse came with good news.

"Mrs. Corleone is very safe. Congratulations Mr. Corleone. Your son is also very healthy!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Russell's face.

"Thank you, can I go in now?"

"Of course Lady Corleone needs you."

Russell stepped into the delivery room, and Philisto handed over the prepared money to Sylvana, asking her to send some gifts to the nurses and doctors.

When the nurses and doctors received the money, they were very surprised and thanked them repeatedly.

in the delivery room.

Malena's eyes were watery, and she looked weakly at Russell who walked in.

"Honey."

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work, Marlena, you are so wonderful, we have a son."

Malena smiled and said, "Then do you like your son?"

"I like both boys and girls, of course I like you the most, Marina."

Marlena felt sweet in her heart when she heard this. She saw very clearly just now that Russell came straight to her as soon as he entered the delivery room, without even looking at the baby next to him.

She knew that Russell cared about her very much, and even felt sorry for her having a baby.

Malena has never felt so happy, she is very content with it.

"You should name our son, have you thought about it?"

Russell was taken aback, and said, "Marlena, you were too tired just now, and now you need to rest."
