Superman

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

Stepping onto the land in the port of Palermo, the pier space was crowded with mafia who came to greet him.

A gang of wicked gangsters lined up neatly with suits and leather shoes, led by Alessandro.

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

Feng Shui turns, and now it’s replaced by the Mafia in revenge.

"General..."

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

The mafia leader still has that humble appearance, even more respectful than before.

Following Luke may be the most correct decision 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 a recognized war hero by the Allies, a legend who led a team to conquer Italy!

Such sensational deeds will be talked about even a hundred years later.

Alessandro thinks 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 in the original hotel. After learning about your return to Sicily, she is preparing to pick you up."

Alessandro bends slightly, knowing that this is different from the past, and he has become respectful even with his attitude towards Malena.

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

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

Many people are looking forward to seeing what the legendary figure Roosevelt and Churchill called "Superman" looks like.

"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'm very satisfied! The sheriff in the town respects me very much, and the governor of Palermo visited me yesterday. All this is thanks to you."

Alessandro nodded.

He has gained power and status.

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, but the British only value overseas colonies. If they want to swallow these cakes, the Soviets feel that the three countries are more secure in co-trust. 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 in 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 and waiting for a reply.

Alessandro thought for a long time, his eyes fluctuating.

Speechless all the way, he finally made a decision before arriving at the hotel.

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

Luke, who got out of the car, just smiled and didn't say much.

...

...

Luke, who returned to New York with the Roaring Commando, did not need to live in the old Brooklyn house this time.

Instead, they were warmly greeted by a group of powerful and senior officials and moved into the luxurious rooms of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

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

When it was completed, 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, 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 nations of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union signed the "World Peace Agreement" in a suite in their tower.

The tower is not small in origin. 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 and luxurious furnishings, as if falling into a dream.

She had never thought that herself from the Sicilian countryside could live in such a house one day.

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

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

All this is because she is Luke's lover.

Power and status provided shelter to a poor woman who was supposed to have 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 traveled across the ocean to the United States has no other support, they can only hug my thigh tightly."

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

He now worships Brigadier General, and after defeating Axis and Hydra, he may go further and become the youngest major general in federal history.

But status does not mean everything. It needs to be supported by funded, networked, and intertwined interest groups.

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

Luke aimed at Las Vegas, Nevada, which was a gold mine that could be discovered.

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 popularity of 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 of constantly helping the Mafia wipe the ass.

In Las Vegas, gaming, hotels, and security 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 a surprise to get involved first.

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

"You can always see long-term."

Malena spoke adoringly, and she was put down on the sofa later.

Her black wavy hair spread out like a lotus, and her 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.
