- That night, Manhattan gangs, as well as European gang groups in the labor community, all began preparations.
Early the next morning, the newsboys in Manhattan collected the day's newspapers from the newspaper office and dispersed. At about 7:30 in the morning, people walked out of their homes one after another, getting ready to go to work and start a new busy day.
As usual, no one felt any difference.
The sun still rises from the east, and pedestrians are hurriedly walking on the street.
Jingle Bell!
The ringing of the tram passed through the streets, the luxurious carriages were filled with rich people who had just returned from the commercial street, and the ordinary people were full of energy preparing for a new journey.
On both sides of the street, there are small restaurants and vendors selling breakfast, all ready early.
At first glance, the early morning streets of Manhattan at this time are actually no different from the 1940s and 1950s in another time and space. If there is any difference, it is the architectural style.
Since it is winter, all the clothes worn by people on the street in the early morning are green military uniforms and green cotton coats. This kind of clothing has been popular in Manhattan for three years. Because it is cheap and very warm, people like to wear this kind of clothing that can keep warm and keep out the cold in winter.
There are more and more people on the street, and the vendors selling breakfast are also shouting.
Basically, the vendors who push small carts on the streets to sell baked sweet potatoes and set up breakfast stalls are all European immigrants. They are not as rich as Chinese citizens and can own a luxurious storefront.
The breakfast sold in the stalls of European hawkers consists of nothing but bread, and at best it is served with some oatmeal. In terms of quality and appearance, it cannot be compared with the breakfast shops opened by Chinese Americans.
But these stalls are better because they are cheaper, so many people still visit them.
Basically, the customers who patronize this kind of stall are European immigrants who have just arrived in Manhattan in the Song Empire. In order to save money, they can only spend money in such stalls.
Of course, there are also European immigrants who like to reminisce about the bitter and the sweet, and they will come to this kind of stall from time to time to taste and reminisce about the food they ate in Europe.
There is another kind of customer, that is, the pure iron rooster, the kind of guy who never gets rid of anything. After all, such people are a minority, and they are also very special.
In addition to these stalls, there are also breakfast shops opened by ethnic Chinese on both sides of the street. There are a lot of breakfast items sold inside, such as tofu puffs, meat porridge, noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, picture scrolls, braised pork, pancakes and other Chinese food.
European immigrants have seen and tasted so many kinds of delicious food.
Therefore, those Europeans who have been living in Manhattan for a year and a half or even two years, have saved a little, bought a house outside the labor community, and obtained an imperial status, will come to this kind of shop every morning for breakfast.
For them, coming to a breakfast shop like this for breakfast is also a status symbol. At least it proved to his compatriots that he had broken away from the ranks of diaosi and was different from those compatriots who were still struggling.
At the same time, basically Chinese people eat their breakfast at this kind of breakfast stall.
To be honest, Chinese citizens are really not interested in stalls where Europeans only sell bread and oatmeal paste.
As the number of pedestrians increased, some children with canvas schoolbags slung across their bodies and well-dressed children appeared on the street holding newspapers high.
Read newspapers! Read newspapers!
Big news from Manhattan Daily: The gang leader was assassinated last night, which may trigger a big storm in the underworld!
Everyone, come and read the newspaper. The leader of the largest gang in Manhattan was assassinated last night. He was stabbed several times and almost died. There are rumors that the mastermind of the trip is a gang in the labor community.
An unprecedented storm is about to take place in Manhattan. DonĄŻt miss it if you go!
ItĄŻs still unclear who will win! The Manhattan Police Department has yet to make any statement.
What kind of interests are causing the turmoil in the world to rise again? ItĄŻs all in the Manhattan Daily News!
Ą°These newsboys are doing their best to incite and talk nonsense.
Although this kind of trick would be considered bad in another modern time and space, it is very effective in this era.
Originally, in this era, there was a great lack of entertainment activities.
Therefore, a little bit of gossip becomes very attractive.
What's more, the news published in the newspapers now is about the underworld.
?Little one, give me one!
IĄŻll have one here too!
IĄŻll give you money and have one!
I have four copies here!
The Manhattan Daily News is an enterprise under the jurisdiction of the Manhattan Publicity and Information Industry Department.
As a modern person, Zhao Hongyu certainly knows what to rely on to control public opinion.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to think of things like newspapers and control them in advance.
The Manhattan Daily is a Chinese newspaper.
Although there are many Europeans in the empire, after receiving special training from the New Oriental Language School, they can basically recognize some Chinese characters.
Therefore, there is no market for Chinese newspapers here.
In the Song Empire, Chinese is the only language. If you want to get along well in the Song Empire. Then you must use Chinese. When you come into contact with various things and other people, you must use Chinese.
English, there is no market here.
The purpose of doing this is to create an illusion, that is, to make European immigrants think that only Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world, and English is the most rubbish.
This is a subtle process, it just requires a few small tricks in the early stage.
Now it seems that this method is quite successful.
The few Europeans who were interested in making a living in the Song Empire basically spoke fluent Mandarin. Even the gangsters knew that they had to learn Chinese.
Because the European immigrants who came to the Song Empire all knew that if there was no change in their language, there would be no way for them to survive here.
You go out to look for a job, and if your language skills are not up to par, no one will use you.
Even taking out the feces wonĄŻt work.
Even if the boss you apply for a job is also of European origin, when he discovers that your language skills are not up to par, he will ask you to leave without politeness.
They wonĄŻt bother you for the sake of their compatriots.
People here are very realistic.
Under such a stressful environment, those European immigrants had to work hard.
Qingcheng, the entire city of Manhattan became active again.
There are a lot of people walking on every street.
The breakfast shop was also crowded with people coming and going.
In a small block near a street in the labor community, in a pasta restaurant started by Italian immigrants, several men wearing clean European-style cotton clothes were looking attentively at the newspapers they had just bought from the newsboy.
Because the newspaper was in Chinese, they seemed to have a hard time, so they had to read it very carefully and slowly understand the meaning and connotation of the words.
There are not many people in this pasta shop. Basically, European restaurants in the Song Empire cannot attract too many people because there are too many Chinese delicacies in the Song Empire.
Therefore, these European-style restaurants are the business of their fellow villagers.
There are many people selling newspapers today, and basically everyone has one.
However, others looked relaxed when reading the newspaper and did not look nervous at all.
After all, what does the underworld conflict have to do with them?
Ą°Even if itĄŻs a headache, itĄŻs a matter for the police station.
They read the newspaper to find out what the newspaper said about it, just to relieve their boredom and gossip.
So, they all read the Manhattan Daily with a very relaxed attitude.
However, the four middle-aged people sitting on the left side of the noodle shop, leaning against the wall, although they were also reading newspapers, their expressions were very serious and a little angry at the same time.
"Asshole! What is this guy Bill going to do? How can he take the initiative to provoke the Manhattan gang? This guy is really not afraid of death. Doesn't he know that he has provoked a force that cannot be provoked?"
One of them, a middle-aged man with triangular eyes and awkward facial features, lowered his voice and whispered to the people around him who were reading the newspaper with him.
It can be heard from his tone that this guy is quite dissatisfied with what Bill did.
Beside this triangular eye, there is an ordinary fat man with a very ordinary appearance and a round face. He raised his hand and patted the triangular-eyed man on the shoulder, and then said comfortingly: "I have long said that Bill, this guy, never does anything without a brain, but you just don't listen. Now.Well, this guy finally caused trouble. But you donĄŻt have to get so angry. Let the underworld handle matters on their own, as long as they donĄŻt cause trouble for us. "
This ordinary-looking fat man obviously didnĄŻt take this matter seriously.
In this fat manĄŻs opinion, itĄŻs not a big deal that Bill provoked the Manhattan gang.
This conflict is definitely inevitable, but what does it have to do with people like them?
If Bill fails in this conflict, the worst they can do is support other associations. Now that new immigrants are arriving in Manhattan every day, there will be no shortage of people.
But if Bill defeats the Manhattan gang and wins, it will also be of great benefit to them.
Some industries under the control of Manhattan gangs still have great benefits.
?? If nothing else, just say that the Manhattan Port Terminal can generate a lot of profits every day.
?However, this possibility is a bit small.
How many subordinates does Bill have? ItĄŻs just over a hundred people.
On the other hand, the Manhattan gang has more than a thousand subordinates.
At the same time, the Manhattan gangsters are notoriously vicious, and that is a reputation they have built up. It's not like Bill and his friends, who are known for bullying their fellow citizens in the community.
"Hull, please stop comforting me. Bill will destroy all our hard work by doing this. This is not the most terrifying thing. What I am worried about is that it will cause the top officials of the Song Empire to doubt us."
After glancing at the fat man comforting him with his triangular eyes, he said.
Before the fat man could speak, a long-faced man opposite the two of them put down the knife and fork in his hand and said: "It shouldn't arouse suspicion on us. After all, the newspaper also said that this is a matter of the underworld. Since It's a matter in the underworld, and at most it will only draw the police department's attention to Bill, but it won't have any impact on our side."
The long-faced man had similar thoughts to the fat man, and he didnĄŻt think BillĄŻs actions would have any impact on them.
DidnĄŻt the newspapers say it was a vendetta between gangsters competing for their own interests?
And who are they?
They are the LordĄŻs servants, servants used to herd the LordĄŻs cattle.
No one would associate them with the gangs, not to mention that they have been very secretive in their work during this period.
As long as the Song Empire does not capture members of their church, they will basically not be in any danger.
But, having said that, this matter has to be dealt with carefully.
An old man with a long face next to him who looked quite young wiped his mouth at this time, and then his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the three people.
"Bill is finished. He cannot be the opponent of the Manhattan gang. Now you must break away from him and never go to him again. Don't have any illusions, give up on him!"
The meaning of this very old man is very obvious, that is, he is not optimistic about Bill. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he even asked the triangle-eyed guy to give up on Bill and never contact him again.
At the same time, he is not very optimistic about Bill's fate. He does not think Bill can win in the confrontation with the Manhattan gang.
"God Richard Sir, things shouldn't be so bad. Should we give Bill some hope? What if he can win? If such a thing happens, wouldn't we offend him? Yet?"
The triangle-eyed man looked up at the old man unwillingly and said.
ItĄŻs not without reason that Triangle Eyes is unwilling.
BillĄŻs Bloody Hand Gang is able to achieve its current scale, which is inseparable from his support.
When Bill founded the Bloody Hand Gang, this triangle eye gave him a lot of financial support. He almost sold his pants to support Bill.
Therefore, now that he has finally gained a little bit of enthusiasm, and when Bill can repay him with financial benefits every day, he is really reluctant to give up Bill.
"Win!"
The old man glanced at Triangle Eyes contemptuously.
"What did Bill use to win? Did he use his P eyes?"
When the old man talked about Bill, the look on his face and his tone were very disdainful.
"Give up. If you can give up now, you might be able to save yourself. Once something happensIf I fail to expose you and bring trouble to you, it will be too late. Even we won't be able to help you then. "
The old manĄŻs words moved Triangle Eyes a little. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
