All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

Marlena was about to refuse, but Russell blocked her words.

I had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I will definitely design it well, please rest assured."

"Then I'll leave first, let me say one more thing, the coffee is very good, thank you for your hospitality."

Malena sent Russell to the door, "Thank you for the gift too."

"You're welcome."

Marlena was obviously relieved to see him leave.

She turned around and thought of Russell and her temperature just now, and felt a little embarrassed.

This is the first time she has been so close to someone other than her husband.

There is a strange feeling inside.

Opening the gift box from Russell, he was surprised from ear to ear.

Covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound, he looked around in horror.

"My God."

The gift box Russell gave her was the large version, four sausages, two bags of bread, two bacon and cheese, a packet of sweets and a box of chocolates.

The food cost about 150 lire!

Ten days' wages for ordinary people.

--

at night,

Russell treated the Oliviers to dinner and drinks.

At the wine table, Russell and the two had a showdown.

"Your name is Corleone?"

Olivier was a little surprised.

"I know you used to be the group leader of the Bernano family, but now I'm short of people here..."

Having said so much, Russell did not continue to speak.

Olijato rubbed his forehead and asked, "Are you going back to Sicily to start a business?"

"of course."

Seeing Russell nodding, Ollietu got up and came to him, bent down and said respectfully: "Godfather, what do you want Ollietu to do?"

He took Russell's hand and kissed it.

Although this kind of hand kissing would feel a little disgusting in modern times, it is definitely a sign of respect in this period.

What's more, Olijatu even yelled 'Godfather', which showed his respect for Russell even more.

"I hope you will follow me. Niveno, the owner of the pier tavern, is collecting food. I am going to ship the food to Tunisia for sale."

"It would be even better if you could get your hands on a gun, or contact a buyer."

Olijatu nodded: "I understand."

--

The next day.

Russell went to the office building in the small town and took office.

He received the gun from the security officer in the army, and he also saw Lieutenant Cardy, who was the officer who had an affair with Marlena in the movie.

But when the dentist and Marlena confronted each other in court, Lieutenant Cardy cowardly chose to escape, which broke Marlena's heart.

Didn't talk to Cady, because Russell didn't like him either.

When meeting the mayor Salvaltore again, Russell felt his enthusiasm.

Because he just took office, the mayor gave him a surprise.

Thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the dentist couple!

Russell almost laughed out loud, but he didn't expect this matter to go round and round and still fall into his hands.

Originally, he wanted to take this matter on himself, and he wanted to clearly tell everyone in the town that the dentist and his wife were dead.

This will keep the town quiet for a while.

It's not like there are so many gossips every day, buzzing endlessly in my ears.

However, what Russell wanted for himself was different from what the mayor gave him.

And Russell couldn't refuse, because after passing this village, there would be no such shop.

I had no choice but to agree.

However, the mayor must not be allowed to push forward. Russell must let him know that only those with guns have the right to speak in the town.

Although the mayor was afraid of Russell who came back from the battlefield, he didn't hinder him from making trouble for him. Who made Russell's attitude so arrogant when he first met him.

So, just as Russell walked out of the mayor's office, he turned around and walked back.

He took out a gun from his pocket.

"You, what are you going to do?"

In front of the mayor, Russell calmly unloaded the magazine and said, "I just check to see if there are any bullets. Mr. mayor, look, there are eight bullets here, and there are only four people in your family. It doesn't matter, I just want to show you."

"…you…"

The mayor clutched his heart and didn't dare to speak hard words, he was afraid that Russell would really use all eight bullets on him and his family.

The moment Russell left, the mayor gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"This lunatic!"

--

a few days later.

pier.

Russell saw twenty people.

Niveno led the nine people, and Olijatu followed the nine people.

They all carried guns on their shoulders, including m1938 submachine guns and Carcano m1891 rifles.

Buying a gun is now much easier than buying food.

"Boss, I collected a whole boatload of food, including coffee beans and chocolate, as well as bacon and ham, sausage, cheese and bread..."

Niveno reported.

"Godfather, the buyers in Tunisia have also been contacted. They are willing to pay five times the price for these foods, but they don't have much cash. They asked if we accept gold and jewelry."

This is what Olivier said.

Russell said: "Of course, but that's not how business is done. It's very dangerous for us to go out to sea once. We can't go out with a full ship and return with an empty ship. It will lose a lot of money and waste a lot of time. What is Sicily missing now?"

Nivino said, "Lack of tobacco and wine, cotton cloth."

"Then bring them back."

Olijatu reminded: "Godfather, the most dangerous things at sea are the patrolling warships and the German army."

"Don't worry, I will negotiate with them when I meet them."

The fishing boat has a capacity of 25 tons and sailed towards Tunisia in the afternoon.

Russell was a little disappointed to see no warships or German troops along the way.

After arriving in Tunisia, Olijato and Niveno divided into two groups, one group unloaded and sold goods, and the other went looking for tobacco and drinks.

The person contacted by Olijatu is the leader of a small gang at the Tunisian dock. A group of people who can’t survive sign up for a group to keep warm and do porter work at the dock. But don’t underestimate them, because they know many bosses.

Once the goods worth 16 yuan were shipped to Tunisia and sold, they made a net profit of [-] yuan, which was doubled several times. It was really a huge profit.

Then, [-] liras of shredded tobacco was purchased from the tobacco factory at the border port of Tunisia, which just filled a whole boat.

This thing has to be recruited to make cigarettes when it goes back. Russell thinks that a cigarette factory should be opened, and the profit can be tripled.

But doing this is very risky, and we must get through the upper and lower contexts, otherwise it is easy to capsize the gutter.

Especially the mayor, Salvaltore, who saw Russell doing this, would definitely try his best to get in the way.

Chapter 9 Making a fortune depends on everyone, and preparing for a cigarette factory

At present, the situation on the Tunisian battlefield is not very good. Under the onslaught of the British and French allied forces, they are fighting on par with the German army.

The people who suffer the most are still the Tunisian people. They suffer from the war, they don’t have enough food and clothing, and they don’t know how to spend the money they have in their hands.

Russell's arrival put their money to good use.

Port merchants swallowed Russell's goods overnight, and sold them out overnight.

It is conceivable how short of supplies the Tunisian people are.

The businessman begged to see Russell but was stopped by Olijato, which showed that his appetite was too small to be qualified to meet Russell.

"Then how can I meet Mr.?"

Olijato made it clear: "Next time, we will bring in [-] tons of supplies. If you can empty them overnight, you will be eligible to see Mister."

"Eighty tons... I can unite with other port merchants, and we will definitely swallow the next batch of supplies."

Olijato said: "Mr. said that Tunisia is your territory, and you still need to pay taxes to the German army, otherwise you will not be safe for a long time."

"The German army? But we can't talk to them at all."

Olijatu's face darkened, "That's your business."

"No, no, we can definitely talk. If we give the husband a profit, can you ask him to talk to the German army? We only want to keep [-]% of the profit."

It means that [-]% will be given to the German army.

"I will tell my husband about this matter. You should contact other businessmen as soon as possible to establish the Tunisian Foreign Trade Chamber of Commerce."

"Okay, the position of president will be sir."

Olijatu reported the matter to Russell, who thought for a while and said, "In this case, we only need to get rid of the navy."

"Yes, the German troops are paid for by the merchants."

Not long after, Niveno came back.

"Boss, the shredded tobacco has been loaded on the ship, when shall we set off?"

Russell said, "Wait until it gets dark."

"After returning home, Nivino will be responsible for recruiting and purchasing cigarette paper, and Olijato will look for abandoned factories or workshops, preferably abandoned cigarette factories, which will save a lot of time."

"Ok."

Night is coming.

The fishing boat set sail, and the sea on the return journey was calm, in contrast to the war on the Mediterranean coast.

Russell was a little puzzled. Although the Italian army made a lot of jokes during World War II, their navy still had some prestige. Why didn't they see warships going back and forth?

He originally wanted to open up the passage between the German and Italian armies as soon as possible. After all, Russell couldn't go out to sea with the ship every time to smuggle.

There are still a few years until the end of World War II.

If this channel is not opened, how much money will be lost?

Town pier.

Nivino and Olijatu greeted the people and moved the shredded tobacco to the dock warehouse for storage. After the cigarette factory was completed, the shredded tobacco would be transported away for further processing.

Russell chose to process shredded tobacco into cigarettes for the purpose of self-retailing. Although this method will slow down the payment speed, it can promote the economic development of the town.

He not only wants to make a fortune for himself, but also to make the poor households in the town rich, give them a job that can feed them well, and let them deeply remember Russell's kindness.

This is a conventional method used by the 'Godfather' to win over people's hearts.

Pier Tavern.
