Chapter 46 The Jewish Gang

"Tell me, what's going on!" Two nights later, at the same restaurant, Josie said looking at Lyndon Schneider in front of him.

Just half an hour ago, he received a call from Schneider, and there was news about the robbery of the goods.

"The Jews did it," Lyndon Schneider replied.

"Is the news accurate?" Josie asked.

"It can be confirmed that it was our partner in New York, the Corleone family revealed the news." Lyndon Schneider nodded. That batch of goods appeared in the hands of their opponents, the Massilia family, and their partner in Chicago is the Jewish gang."

"Now that you've found someone, you don't need me to tell you what to do?" Josie said.

Josie was not surprised to hear the name of the Corleone family, this was something he had known for a long time.

As the behind-the-scenes boss, although Josie does not interfere with specific operations, she still needs to know some basic information.

For example, the main underground forces in Chicago, the five major mafia families in New York, and some large gangs in the United States.

So when Lyndon Schneider contacted New York for the first time, Josie knew the existence of the Corleone family.

At that time, Josie didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Margot, the heroine of the telephone murder case, and Sabrina, who should be played by Audrey Hepburn in the original world, had already appeared before. Nothing.

And compared with the Captain America and Howard Stark I just knew, the godfather and so on, really can only be regarded as trifles.

"Boss, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to handle..." However, Linden Schneider looked at Josie's face and said hesitantly.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Josie couldn't help frowning after hearing the words.

"Because this incident, according to the information revealed by the Corleone family, was not led by the Jewish gang in Chicago, but was instructed by the Massilia family!" Lyndon Schneider explained.

"The Massilia family? Luciano? Has our business offended him?" Hearing Linden Schneider's words, Josie paid attention.

Josie didn't care if it was just the Jewish gang in Chicago.

But if it belongs to the Massilia family, the situation is different.

Patriarch Massilia is Patriarch Genovese, one of the five Patriarchs of the New York Mafia in Josie's original world.

But the Genovese family changed their name after Vito Genovese came to power after World War II.

And now, Genovese is only the current owner of Massilia, Luciano's pony in Josie's mouth, and the third child in the gang.

Luciano, on the other hand, is a very remarkable existence in the mafia, and can even be said to be the existence of the boss of the boss in all the families now.

Even the Corleone family, during their reign, had to back away.

Because the "Cosa Nostra" (meaning our own business) jointly established by the American Mafia, also known as the super criminal group of the Mafia Commission, was established under the leadership of this Luciano.

Under his leadership, the Mafia also issued two prohibitions against selling fans and against murdering law enforcement officials.

It's just that Luciano was sent to prison by the current governor of New York State Dewey several years ago. He worked as a librarian in the prison and could only control the Massilia family by remote control.

And Josie and his gang have only appeared for a few months, so they shouldn't have much to do with each other.

Could it be because of doing business with the Corleone family?But it doesn't make sense. Although the Massilia family and the Corleone family are not very good at dealing with each other, they still maintain some balance on the surface.

"No, it was not Luciano who gave the order, but his most important assistant, Meyer Lansky." Linden Schneider shook his head and said.

"Meyer Lansky? We have nothing to do with him." Josie was puzzled.

Of course he knew who Meyer Lansky was. He was Luciano's most important partner, a think tank, and the godfather of the Jewish faction in the Mafia. He had great prestige among Jewish gangs across the United States.

"No, boss, before us, the Jewish gang controlled by Mayer Lansky was the largest private cigarette production and sales group in China, and tobacco was also one of the most important sources of income for the Jewish gang." Linden Schneider explained "The quality of our cigarettes is higher than theirs, and the price is more favorable. I think that's why they do something about us."

Hearing Linden Schneider's words, Josie suddenly realized.

It turns out that I accidentally touched the cheese of the largest Jewish gang in the United States...

This matter is indeed a bit difficult.

Although Josie's development speed is very fast, after all, the time is still too short. Compared with this kind of old mafia organization, its size is not enough.

"Does the Corleone family have anything to say about this?" Josie asked coldly.

"They mean non-interference. If we can send the shipment, they will accept it, but they don't care about the rest." Linden Schneider said helplessly, "If I guess right, this time the other party is just for us. Warning, if we continue to ship in large quantities, similar things may continue to happen."

Clearly, the Corleone family didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

Although the tobacco business is very profitable, it's not as good as letting them fight Meyer Lansky for it.

"Hmph, I want to make money but I don't want to take risks. It's a good idea!" Knowing the attitude of the Corleone family, Josie was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do.

The Jews are really a troublesome group, Josie couldn't help showing a trace of disgust on his face.

This disgust is not only because the other party has robbed him of his goods.

At the same time, it also came from some information that Josie knew when she was a native of Xia in her previous life.

Many people only know that during World War II, the Jews suffered crazy revenge from the Germans, but few know that the Jews and the Xia people also have deep grievances and entanglements.

One is the famous puffer fish project. During World War II, Xia Kingdom took in a large number of exiled Jews. However, many of these Jews hooked up with foot pot chickens, trying to establish a Jewish state in the northeast of Xia Kingdom, but failed.

The other is because of the famous Summer Exclusion Act.

Some people may wonder, isn't the Summer Exclusion Act led by the US government?What does that have to do with the Jews?
Yes, and it has something to do with tobacco.

Because the cause of all this is related to a Jew named Samuel Gompers.

Gompers immigrated from England to New York in 1863. When he was young, he worked as a cigar worker. At that time, a large part of the cigar workers in the United States were Jews.

But the best cigars are not Jewish workers, but Asian workers in California, including Xia Guo people.

Moreover, because the Xia people were hard-working, the cigarettes they made were of good quality, and their wages were low, it was difficult for the Jewish workers headed by Gompers to earn too much wages. It was from that time that Gompers hated On Xia Guoren.

Because of his ability to exploit and his enthusiasm for trade union activities, Gompers quickly gained great popularity among industry workers, and in 1875, he became the chief of the American Cigar Union.

It was from this moment that Gompers began to use this capacity to pull up the first act of the Summer Exclusion Act, inciting the hatred of white workers against Asians at that time.

It is also because of him that the trend of pausing summers began to spread from the Jewish community to all walks of life in the United States.
