Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 36: Back to New York, gambling planning

   Two days later, Luke wore the brigadier general's uniform and walked off the ship in a crowd.

   stepped onto the land of the port of Palermo, and the pier was crowded with mafia who came to greet him.

   A gang of fierce and wicked, thugs in suits and leather shoes lined up neatly, led by Alessandro.

   Eisenhower's Anglo-American coalition forces have taken over Italy and launched siege activities against those fascist (xi) elements who are trying to resurrect, just like Mussolini's eradication of the Mafia.

   Fengshui takes turns, now it’s replaced by the Mafia for revenge.

   "General..."

   Glancing at Luke's epaulettes and the pomp behind him, Alessandro changed his name carefully.

   This mafia leader still has that humble appearance, even more respectful than ever.

  Following Luke may be the most correct decision he has made in his life.

   Two weeks ago, the opponent was only a captain of the Allied forces, and now he has been promoted to brigadier general.

   The speed of promotion is like riding on a rocket!

  Moreover, Luke is now recognized as a war hero by the Allies, a legend who led a team to conquer Italy!

   Such a sensational deed, even a hundred years later, someone will talk about it.

   Alessandro thinks that he can appear in it, just like being recorded in history.

   What an honor it is for a gangster to get such an honor!

   "Mrs. Malena is still staying at the original hotel. After knowing the news of your return to Sicily, she is preparing to pick you up."

   Alessandro bends down slightly. He knows that this is different from the past, and he even becomes respectful of his attitude towards Malena.

   "Why didn't she come to the port?"

   Luke looked up and looked at the crowd onlookers outside the pier.

   Many people are looking forward to it, wanting to see what Roosevelt and Churchill call the "Superman" of the legend.

   "Mrs. Malena said that it is not convenient for her to appear in public with you, General."

   Alessandro bowed his head.

   Luke's eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth raised, and he whispered softly: "I see. Corsa, are you satisfied with your current life?"

   "I am satisfied! The sheriff who arrived in the town respects me very much, and the Governor of Palermo visited me yesterday. All this is thanks to you."

   Alessandro nodded.

   Power and status, he has already obtained.

   Now Sicily, whoever sees himself will take off his hat and call it "Your Excellency."

   Even the boss of the Kemora family is the same.

   Luke looked around, looked at the fierce Mafia members, and said as he walked: "I can give you another chance. After the war, the Allies have different opinions on the disposal of Italy."

  "The United States believes that Italy should be entrusted to the United Nations, while the British only value overseas colonies. If they want to swallow these cakes, the Soviets feel that the three countries are safer. For the time being, no one can convince anyone."

   Alessandro frowned and thought, the future of the country determines the future path of the Mafia.

Luke got into the car and continued: "No matter what the result is, the Mafia family is destined to decline. You are only a product of a period of social instability. Once order is restored, the country will strike. Just like Mussolini. After coming to power, in order to win public opinion, I will use you as a knife."

   "Xhosa, I affirm your ability. So, you can choose to stay in Sicily, continue to enjoy life, and be the manager of the family..."

   "In other words, go to the North American continent with me, where there are more opportunities."

   Luke closed his eyes when he finished speaking, as if he was resting, but also as if waiting for a reply.

   Alessandro thought for a long time, his eyes fluctuating.

   was speechless all the way, until he finally made a decision before arriving at the hotel.

   "General, it is my greatest honor to be able to follow you!"

   Luke who got out of the car just smiled and said nothing.

  ……

  ……

   took the Roaring Commando back to Luke in New York, this time without living in the old Brooklyn house.

   Instead, he was warmly greeted by a group of powerful officials and moved into the luxurious rooms of the Waldorf Astoria.

   This is the first skyscraper hotel in the world, and it has historical origins.

   At the beginning of its completion, President Hoover also delivered a congratulatory speech in the Cabinet Office of the White House.

   As he said, the Waldorf Astoria is a benchmark in New York. It has always been loved by politicians from all over the world and has witnessed many historic and important events.

   For example, after World War II, the representatives of the four victorious countries, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, signed the "World Peace Agreement" in a suite in their tower.

  The tower is not too small. It once hosted the King of Monaco, Queen Elizabeth I and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Windsor and his wife.

   Now, Luke is fortunate enough to live in the tower suite of the Waldorf Astoria like countless celebrities.

   "This is really..."

   Malena looked up at the bright crystal chandeliers, luxurious furnishings, like falling into a dream.

   She never thought that she, who came from the Sicilian countryside, could one day live in such a house.

  The happiness came so suddenly that Malena couldn't believe it.

   And now, no man still stares at him with unabashedly greedy eyes.

   All this is because she is Luke's lover.

   Power and status provide shelter to a poor woman who should have had a miserable fate.

   "You will settle here temporarily, Xhosa will protect your safety."

   Luke leaned into the soft sofa, and Malena sat on his lap.

   Alessandro took about three hundred people and followed him from Sicily to the strange North American continent.

   Their compatriots have long been mixed up, visiting various high-end venues, making friends with politicians and Hollywood stars.

   "I never believed in gangsters, but they can sometimes do some dirty work for you. The mafia who came across the ocean to the American mafia has no other support. They can only hug my thigh tightly."

   Luke lightly sniffed the fragrance of the mature girl's hair, and said leisurely.

   He is now an official Brigadier General. After defeating the Axis and Hydra, he may go a step further and become the youngest major general in the history of the Federation.

   But status does not mean everything~www.ltnovel.com~ needs to be supported by funded, networked, and intertwined interest groups.

   Mafia can be used as a cornerstone of this special period.

   Luke aimed at Las Vegas, Nevada, which is a gold mine that can be unearthed.

   In the early years, the United States was in the Great Depression. In order to stimulate the economy and tide over the difficulties, the Nevada State Assembly passed a bill to legalize gambling.

   Since then, Las Vegas has become a gambling city, but it is far from reaching the level of popularity in later generations.

   Luke, who was once involved in the Irish gang, does not want to touch the two profitable businesses of smuggling and drugs.

   That will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and in the future, it will even become an embarrassing situation where you have to constantly wipe the bottom of the mafia.

   And Las Vegas' gaming, hotels, and security industry are all areas where the mafia can do its best.

   Taking advantage of the fact that the casino city has not yet developed, it should be the first to get involved, and there should be unexpected surprises.

In the original timeline, Las Vegas was also paved by Benjamin Siegel, who is also a member of the Mafia, and raised six million US dollars to build a flamenco hotel and a large casino to attract all over the world. Tycoon of the rich.

   "You can always see a long way."

   Malena said admiringly, and then she was put down on the sofa.

  The black wavy hair spread out like a lotus, and his beautiful face was blushing.

   "This is daytime..."

   Malena said weakly.

   "Don't get me wrong, I just think this sofa is very soft and I want to test the quality."

   Luke's mouth is serious and his hands are skillful.

   Outside the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a faint sound of cars honking.
