evening.

Ocean view room.

Sylvana said that Malena was a little tired and was resting in her room.

Russell threw the clothes on the hanger and came to the room.

When she opened the door, she saw Malena lying sideways on the bed with a pillow in her arms, weeping silently.

At this time, she looked very pitiful, but normal people couldn't help but look at her more when they saw her in such a posture.

Because she was wearing black stockings and high heels, and the black skirt was just below her hips... Two threads connected her shoulders, and her fair skin reflected light...

Marlena heard the voice, turned her head and saw that it was Russell, and immediately wiped her eyes.

"Mr Corleone, I am not sad."

Russell walked over to hold her in his arms, patted her on the back, and said, "I know you are afraid of being seen by me and worried about me, right?"

Marlena's chin rested on his shoulder, and upon hearing this, she immediately buried her face in his chest.

Her eyes were red, and she sobbed on top of him.

"Mr. Corleone, I'm sorry, I can't help it. He's my father after all..."

"I understand, I understand what you mean, Marina."

"I will restrain myself."

Russell held her face, wiped away the tears on her face, and said seriously: "Don't restrain yourself in this kind of thing, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Thank you, thank you for understanding me."

"Marlena."

When she heard the sound, she raised her head and stared at him. Seeing his serious eyes, she panicked.

"Let's get married."

When Marlena heard this, her heart skipped a beat, she froze and couldn't breathe anymore.

She stared blankly at him in a daze, with true feelings in her eyes.

"Mr. Corleone, I...I didn't expect to marry you, I know myself...Although I am very willing, very willing, but I can't do it..."

The inferiority complex in Marlena's bones is still not eliminated, but she is willing to give birth to Russell, but if she gets married, she is afraid that she will become a stain on Mr. Corleone.

"As long as you are willing, everything is fine. Listen, Malena! Put away the inferiority complex in your bones, and don't think that you have been married before, so your status is different from mine. We shouldn't think too complicated about our relationship, It only increases troubles! Our goal is to live a good life, and getting married is the best way of life, you know?"

Sometimes Russell is very gentle with her, afraid of bumping into her, full of love.But sometimes you have to be strong, this is the style of the head of the family.

Marlena was taken aback by Russell's scolding, and then nodded obediently: "Mr. Corleone, I listen to you. I am willing to marry you, very willing!"

"Well, when your father's funeral is over, we will choose a date to get married."

Marlena threw herself into his arms, sniffed and said, "Okay, but I want to give you two sons."

Russell raised his hand to caress her head, and said with a smile, "There will be many opportunities in the future."

After several days of companionship, Marlena's sadness eased. When Russell was free, he took her to the windmill garden to feel the beauty of nature.

During this period, 30 German troops stationed in Sicily and began to recruit migrant workers to build airports, artillery positions, defense trenches, and barracks roads...

And these migrant workers are all members of the Sicilian Workers' Association. The executive directors are Olijato and Nivino. They contact the German army and directly contract a large amount of work, and then organize the workers to work. They manage two meals a day and send them out on time. salary.

If workers do not have the protection of the association, they will be treated unfairly, which is inevitable.

Which is better to bully, individual or collective?

The German army and the Italian army are in an ambiguous period, and the two sides are eager to cooperate, and no one wants to offend the other.

Congressman Hagen had a good relationship with the German commander, mainly because Hagen spent his money and sent two boxes of gold and various small gifts to the German commander.

In the end, Hagen got what he wanted, and helped Russell negotiate the purchase and delivery of supplies to the German army.

Now the German army eats food provided by Russell, and their military food has long been transported to Tripoli and Tunisia.

It's not the first time for Russell to resell at both ends. He is familiar with the second time, and it's smooth after doing it twice.

The town was full of German soldiers, and they occupied hotels, restaurants and brothels...

Of course, they have already paid for it, and the word occupation means that with them here, others have no chance to go in and enjoy it, and the German army alone has a steady stream of business.Gina, the proprietress of the brothel, approached Philisto twice, saying that there were too few girls, and could they borrow a batch from Catania.

Philisto refused on the spot, the small town is not enough, Catania has more German troops, so they are enough?

Let the girls hurry up and eat more food to replenish their strength.

In just two months, the German army built the airport, artillery positions, and trench barracks. Originally, Sicily was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that so many defensive measures have been prepared, the German army is full of confidence.

Workers who join the union not only get two free meals a day, but also get paid on time.

For those who did not join the trade union, they not only had to bring their own food, but also worked hard, otherwise they would be beaten and abused, and there were not a few people who were beaten to death, exhausted, or starved to death.

In contrast, the workers who joined the trade union were more grateful to Mr. Corleone, because they were not bullied because of his support. Otherwise, they might be lying in the dead bodies!

Now there are [-] registered workers in the Workers' Association. Russell asked them to be classified, such as carpenters and masons.

With the support of so many people, Russell became popular throughout Sicily, because he held nearly [-] valid tickets in his hand!Including their wives and children.

Do you want to be an MP?Want to be re-elected?Then you have to go to Mr. Corleone, only he can help you.

And the German army has no threat to Russell. The German army is more willing to cooperate in the face of interests. They need to import food from other places for a unit price of 50. Russell can give them a friendly price of [-]. The remaining [-] difference is for them to enter the hotel. capital!Anyway, the military expenses come from Jewish families, who are very rich. I heard that a piece of bread costs [-] yuan, and it takes several horse-drawn carts to pull it.

On this day, the town was extremely lively, children grabbed candies and shouted loudly in the bustling street.

"Mr. Corleone and Ms. Marina are married!"

The venue for the wedding is in the auditorium of the town.

Russell invited a few people who had a good relationship with him, such as Rand, Hagen, and Chris.

Colonel Dika of the Catania military camp got the news somehow, and came to join in the fun.

Everyone who comes is a guest, and Russell doesn't think it is a big trouble to prepare an extra bowl.

The residents of the small town sent representatives from each family and came to attend their wedding, but their position was at the bottom.

After all, all the people who came here today were prominent figures from Sicily, especially Congressman Hagen, who also brought the number three German troops stationed in Sicily.

Oriato, Philisto, Niveno, Nostin and others all wore grand tuxedos and bow ties. This kind of dress is the highest etiquette, and it also expresses respect for Russell.

Chapter 56

In the dressing room of the auditorium, Malena sat alone in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, as if in a dream.

It has only been two months since Russell and her mentioned marriage last time, and they did not expect that they would really enter the palace of marriage.

Her head was in a daze, she completely forgot how she put on her wedding dress, let alone who put on her light makeup.

Malena was stepping on a pair of silver high-heeled shoes, skin-colored stockings were wrapped around her round legs, and the skirt of the wedding dress covered her feet, concealing her graceful figure.

Her jet-black hair was tied behind her head, and a white scarf was tied on top of her head...

Today, she will be the most beautiful and happiest woman in the world!

Sylvana knocked on the door and entered, and said softly, "Marlena, it's time to go on stage."

"Ok."

She got up and lifted the hem of her skirt, and followed Sylvana to the entrance of the auditorium outside.

Russell turned around and looked at her with loving eyes.

"Marlena, you are simply the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Thank you. You are also very handsome. It is my honor to marry you."

The door opened.

Music blared in the auditorium.

Marlena took Russell's arm and walked forward following the beat of the music.

With a smile on his face, Russell nodded to the guests around him. He heard the blessings and envy of the men, and the women also envied Marlena, because Russell was handsome, tall, powerful, and wealthy. Which woman does not love a man?

What Russell didn't expect was that at his wedding scene, someone made rude remarks.

It was an officer of the German army. He clapped his hands and whistled like his eyes were shining, and teased loudly: "Oh! Marlena is so beautiful. Corleone will have a good time tonight. If it was me, I would guarantee that she would not be able to sleep for three days!"

"Shut up! Bach, don't you want to live?" His comrades scolded.

The wedding scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to stare at Bach.

Russell stopped, and Marlena, who was beside her, followed suit. She turned to look at Russell and whispered, "I'm fine."

"I have something to do."

Russell turned and looked down at Bach, and said, "Who invited you to my wedding?"

"Mr. Corleone, sorry, he drank too much..."

Bach, reeking of alcohol, stared at Russell indignantly with his head held high, and interrupted his comrade-in-arms with a wave of his hand.

"I didn't drink too much! Don't I? Don't you want to have such a beautiful woman? Don't you want to sleep with her?"

The people around were all shocked. Looking at Russell's gloomy face, they took a few steps back in fear, keeping a distance from Bach.

"What are you pretending to be serious! Didn't Corleone fall in love with her beauty? Otherwise who would marry a widow!"

Hearing this, Russell was immediately annoyed, and when he was about to jump off the stage to punish him, Marlena next to him hugged his arm and did not let go.

"No, no... he's German."

"German? I fucking made him regret reincarnating as a German!"

Russell shook off Marlena's arm and jumped off the stage. Standing in front of Bach, just as he was about to make a move, he saw Philisto squeezed out from the crowd, and then rushed forward, slamming his fist at Bach. .

Then Olijatu and Niveno also joined the battle group, and the three of them slammed Bach on the head, bruising his nose and face in a short time.

The people around were silent, all paying attention to how Corleone should deal with this farce.

Because his men are beating German officers!

And the deputy chief of staff of the Sicilian garrison of the German army was at the guest table, beating the dog in front of the owner?

Sure enough, Deputy Chief of Staff Knight and Hagen came over and saw the three beating up a German officer, which made Knight very angry.

"stop!"

But no one listened to him.

Knight turned his head to look at Russell, and said, "Mr. Corleone, I respect you very much, but you let your men beat our soldiers in front of me. Don't you take the German army too seriously?"

Hagen was a little nervous beside him. In order to maintain the relationship with the German army, he had already worked hard and transferred a lot of gold.If there is a rift in their friendship because of Russell's relationship, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Russell stared at him blankly, "Mr. Knight, please pay attention to your wording. This is my wedding scene, and he insulted my wife in front of me, doesn't he take me too seriously?" inside?"

Of course Knight heard Bach's words. The auditorium was very quiet just now, and everyone present heard it.

But Bach was a German officer, and three unidentified people beat Knight's soldiers, which made the German army feel ashamed.

"Can you tell them to stop first, if he does something wrong, I will ask him to apologize to you."

Russell smiled and said, "Of course I want to hear his apology, but I don't know if he can still speak."

As soon as the voice fell, the three of Philisto stopped their hands, got up and stood up,

Suddenly, a person jumped out of the crowd, holding a pistol in his hand, and fired several shots at Bach who fell to the ground and wailed with his head in his arms.

The gunshot echoed loudly in the auditorium. The women screamed at the sound, and the men stepped back in fright, for fear of blood splashing on themselves.

After seeing this scene, Knight said angrily: "Corleone! You are contemptuous of the German army! Humiliation! I will send troops to destroy you!"

The gunman threw the gun away, and then said to Knight: "Bach and I have a personal grievance. Last time he and I robbed a woman in a hotel and slapped me twice. I bought a gun on the black market privately with a grudge. Kill him."

Knight was taken aback when he heard the words, and pointed at him, "You..."

Unexpectedly, the gunman ignored him after finishing speaking, and turned to Russell and said, "Mr. Corleone, I am sorry to disturb your wedding, and I am willing to pay the price of my life to compensate you."

Nate laughed, he was angry.

"Corleone, you really don't take me seriously."

Russell frowned and said, "Shut up, Knight! You should know who is the master here!"

Hagen looked at his face and suddenly realized.
