Chapter 126: Las Vegas

Shen Long didn't take action against McRobles right away, he knew that some pieces were better left there for the time being, and maybe they would be able to surprise their opponents at some point, which was the same as when he persuaded Hoover not to capture Elizabeth Bentley right away, there was an enemy who thought we didn't know, but we did know someone out there, and we could get more information about the enemy through him, and if you kill him, the enemy could find another person we don't know.

He just told Phillips and Albert to keep an eye on the guy and figure out what exactly he had talked about with Bruno Tartaglia, what price the other party had paid and what promises he had obtained; In addition, he had the information of the McRobles family collected.

He is an Irishman, and the reason why he is desperately trying to make money is to support his four sons to go to college, and the University of Forteum they attended is a private school, and the tuition fee is not low, which he cannot afford with his normal income; The second was to help the relatives who stayed in their home country in Ireland, which allowed him and his wife to enjoy the imperial treatment every time they returned to Ireland, and those relatives did everything in their power to make them comfortable, which McRobles enjoyed.

Maybe this will be a breakthrough, Shen Long wrote down all this information one by one, Mike killed Officer McRobles is a last resort, under normal circumstances, killing a police officer will usher in the common hatred of all police officers, and it will make the Corleone family and even all the gangsters in New York suffer losses.

If it weren't for the last step, Shen Long didn't plan to do this, except for these strange places in Mexico, it would be irrational to kill a police officer anywhere, and he believed that there would be a better way to solve the matter of Officer McRobles.

Carefully collecting information and not letting go of any clues that might be useful, Shen Long even took time out of his time to follow McRobles for a while, and he watched how McRobles extorted merchants in his jurisdiction, how he took money from gang leaders, how he got along with his family, and how he treated his superiors and subordinates.

Synthesizing those materials, Shen Long slowly pondered the personality and temper of this person, and gradually had a new plan, and formulated several sets of targeted plans.

It took him a lot of time, and when he was done, he thought he could stay at home until Christmas, but the godfather gave him a new task, "You go to Las Vegas, go meet Mo Green, his big plan is in trouble now, this is a good opportunity for us to intervene in Las Vegas, the Molinari family on the West Coast will provide you with security." ”

"Go now? It's almost Christmas, can't you wait until after Christmas? Shen Long became nervous, and it was on Christmas Eve that Soloso attacked the Corleone family.

"Yes, go now, while Heymen Rose can't get out of it right now, he's good friends with Mor Green, and if he raises enough money, we won't have a chance." The godfather insisted that Shen Long leave now.

Hemen-Ross worked with his godfather when the Corleone family ran the olive oil and moonshine business, whether it was an olive oil business or a moonshine business, it required a lot of trucks, and Haimen-Rose had a good skill in repairing cars, and the two sides worked very happily, but after he accumulated enough capital, he went to Miami, and now he is Miami's godfather.

It's just that his current business is not as big as the Corleone family, and it is a bit unrealistic to leverage the business in Las Vegas in the short term, but as long as he is given a little more time, he will get this money.

And the Corleone family has accumulated a terrifying wealth through these twenty years of accumulation, they own expensive real estate in the center of New York, and the entire building is listed in someone else's name, but in fact it belongs to them; On Wall Street, they own two brokerage buildings, several banks on Long Island through which the funds needed for Johnny Film Studios will be sent to partners in California, as well as several clothing companies.

It's just a legitimate business, and if you add the gambling industry that is secretly manipulated, it's too scary; Since it is a gambling business, it is impossible for the Corleone family not to meddle in Las Vegas, Shen Long quickly estimated in his heart that this is another test for himself by his godfather, this test is more critical than the one in Hollywood, and he can't refuse.

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready, and I'll leave tomorrow." Shen Long agreed, and Tom Hagen sent him information, and he called Albert Nairie and Rocco Rappen into the room and told them to keep an eye on McRobles, Soloso, and the Tartaglia family while they were away from New York, especially as it was close to Christmas.

"At this time, everyone's attention will be on the holiday, and there is a good chance that the defense will be slackened, and if Solozzo wants to attack, this is the best time."

Like last time, he flew to Las Vegas with Willy Chich, and on the plane, he closed his eyes and began to sort out the Las Vegas and Mo-Green profiles.

Las Vegas is derived from the Spanish word for "fertile green meadows", because Las Vegas is the only oasis with springs in the surrounding desolate rocky desert and Gobi region, and because of the springs, it has gradually become a stopover for roads and railroads.

The gambling industry here dates back to the beginning of the century, when gold and silver mines were discovered nearby, numerous gold prospectors rushed to the area, casinos and brothels flourished, and the gold mines were mined and the area fell silent.

It wasn't until after the economic crisis, when Roosevelt's New Deal was implemented and the Hoover Dam, not far from Las Vegas, began to be built, and countless workers flocked here again, and when they had nothing to do, they began to gamble, and there were so many people involved that the government couldn't control it.

In 1931, the local government simply took advantage of the economic crisis to legalize gambling in the local government, trying to tide over the situation in this way, and many investors flocked to Las Vegas, including Mo Green.

He brought his lover to Las Vegas to play, and his lover complained that it was too hot and dry, which ignited Mo-Green's inspiration, and the nearby Hoover Dam could provide plenty of electricity for the place, and with electricity it would bring in water and air conditioning would bring the temperature down!

As long as you build a huge luxury hotel here, you can definitely bring yourself a lot of money; Mo-Green is a man of action, he does what he thinks, he spends a lot of money to build his own hotel, but now he has a big problem.
