Chapter 30 - 030 Beat Them Into Submission And Then Give Them A Treat

…

… ??

Being able to seize the opportunity and become the top leader of the Camorra family, Alessandro had guts.

Although Elio was his nephew, he would still give him up in order to calm Luke\'s anger.

Who told him to be too stupid!?

Just like the former Mafia members, they thought that they were the real masters of Italy!

For example, Francisco Cuchar, who triggered the end of the Mafia, is such a fool!

He was both the mayor of Piana DeGrigio and a major player in the local mafia.

When he greeted Mussolini, who was the \'great leader\' at the time, he asked him in a rather arrogant tone, why he had to bring so many police officers?

Because, Cuchar felt that no one could pose a threat to him on his own turf, with the protection of the Mafia.

This almost rude attitude annoyed Mussolini, who was already very powerful at that time.

A few months later, the dictator summoned 4,000 special forces and 6,000 police officers and launched a heavy-handed campaign to eliminate the Mafia.

As for Cuchar?

He was arrested and imprisoned for \'insulting the Fuhrer\', \'contempt of law\', and \' rebelling against the government\'.

Alessandro, who has had the horrible experience of being wanted, and almost executed, wouldn\'t make the same mistake as that fool Cuchar.

"Mr. Corleone, you will forever be a friend of the Mafia. Anyone who disrespects you, is disrespecting me and disrespecting the Camorra Family."

In less than a minute, the man named \'Carmelo\' presented a hand, placed on a tray.

"Are you satisfied with this explanation? If this isn\'t enough, I\'ll have Elio sent to the slaughterhouse later. "

Seeing Alessandro\'s trepidation and almost groveling, Luke\'s cold expression, suddenly beamed with a smile. He knew the mafia were contemptuous and only with a severe threat would they show respect. Thus he acted in such a way.

Luke then picked up the glass on the table and said, "Come! a toast to our friendship!"

The smile was mild and friendly, without any sign of the previous aggression.

His ability to change his face so suddenly surprised Dum Dum Dugan behind him, and thought, \'The Captain is a scary man. \'

The vicious Mafia was like a docile sheep before him.

Alessandro smiled at the smell of blood and drained his glass of red wine.

"Get things done as soon as possible, and the Allies will never forget your efforts. "

Before leaving the pub, Luke patted Alessandro on the shoulder and added, "Your compatriots are doing well in North America and New York. They go in and out of high-end hotels with members of parliament, and hug Hollywood actresses --- Cossa, I admire you very much. You deserve a chance. "

"Mr. Corleone, I will remember this personal friendship!"

Alessandro paused and then he moved.

He bent down slightly, lowered his head and waited for Luke to hold out his left hand.

This was the highest etiquette from the Mafia, to show respect!

Often, only the godfather could get \'the kiss\' from a don.

"No need. I have seen your respect and attitude. "

Luke\'s mouth twitched. He didn\'t have the habit of letting men kiss the back of his hand.

Out of the Bronze Bell Tavern, the Howling Commandos got into their cars and went to check-in to one of Palermo\'s top hotels.

On the way, Dugan, who was sitting next to him, had an awkward expression.

"Do you want to ask why I should treat Alessandro with such an attitude?"

Luke opened his closed eyes. Sitting in the front passenger seat, was Manelli, no outsiders. So, he didn\'t hide it. He said, "Dugan, you don\'t understand the gangster mindset. "

"Although the Italian Mafia has always used family honor and blood ties as a means to guarantee loyalty. But that doesn\'t mean they\'re actually a bunch of honorable criminals. "

Dugan nodded thoughtfully. He remembered that Luke seemed to have close ties with the Irish Mob.

"When you want to tame a vicious dog, you have to beat it with a wooden stick until it\'s afraid to show you its fangs again. The same is true of the Mafia. "

Luke looked at the pedestrians in Palermo through the window and smiled, "And human nature is a very complicated thing. Cossa definitely had a grudge against me when his men brought that guy\'s severed hand. But because of my status, and the fact that Allies have won successive battles, he was afraid to show it. "

"But when I told him that I would support him as the voice of the Allies in Sicily, and he would be richly rewarded after the war, Cossa\'s heart immediately felt grateful, with only a few unpleasant emotions left behind."

"When you use harsh methods, establish unquestionable authority, and then give them a small reward, they will be grateful to you - that\'s the typical gangster mentality!
