"Honey, you haven't thought about it, have you?"
"how could be."
Malena smiled and said, "Then think about it slowly, okay? Let me see our son."
Russell nodded, turned and walked to the crib, looking down at his son.
To be honest, it looks a bit ugly at first glance...
Newborn babies are like this, looking wrinkled.
Russell was very careful holding the baby, because his bones had not grown well, it was as soft as holding a ball of cotton.
Holding the child in front of Marlena, Russell saw her frown.
She must have disliked it too.
"Honey, is this our son?"
"Yes……"
"Okay, so cute!"
Russell responded, "Yes, very similar to you."
Marlena was taken aback, and said, "He is your son, more like you."
"Okay, when he grows up, we're discussing who he looks more like. Now, you should go back to your room to rest and let Sylvana cook you something to eat."
Back in the room, Russell lowered his head and thought about what name he should name the child.
Chapter 63 Knighthood, Vittorio Corleone
After Malena and the child fell asleep, Sylvana stayed in the room to take care of them.
Russell flipped through the book next door. He is not very good at naming things...
When he was fascinated by the book, Philisto walked in quietly and saw him flipping the pages of the book, standing aside without making a sound.
Russell noticed it when he turned his head, and said, "There is something, tell me."
Philisto stepped forward and handed him the paper in his hand, "Godfather, a telegram from Rome."
Russell put down the book, took the telegram, looked at the words on it, and frowned.
"Italy surrendered to the Allies?"
"Yes, Godfather."
Today is September 9th, which is the day when Italy turns to the light. On the 8th of next month, in order to show its sincerity to the Allies, Italy will declare war on the German army.
Since Mussolini stepped down and was detained, the conservatives have introduced a new prime minister, Badolio, who has a very close relationship with Marvetini, and they formed the new government headed by them.
After Badolio came up, although he publicly claimed to maintain an alliance with the German army and continue to fight, he secretly contacted the Allied forces and tried to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from the war.
As early as the [-]rd of this month, Bardolio signed an armistice agreement with the Allied Forces, but it was only announced on the [-]th.
Unfortunately, Russell's child was born on the day of the surrender of Italy. If you had to give a commemorative name, it should be named Luo...
"Let Chris go to see Vitigny and tell him that the German army will not swallow their breath when they know the news of the surrender, and let the king, crown prince and ministers take refuge."
Philisto nodded: "Okay, Godfather."
"Let Chris go back to Sicily, and the others don't care."
"Yes."
When Chris received the telegram, he got up and met Vittini, and talked with him for nearly half an hour.
Vitini couldn't believe it at first, he didn't believe that Russell could get such accurate news.
However, in the middle of their conversation, Vitigny's confidant walked in and handed him a telegram.
After reading it, he immediately slapped the table and said angrily, "These dogs are German soldiers!"
After Chris left from him, he left Rome directly by car.
And Vitini went to find Bardorio, and they immediately asked the king, the crown prince and ministers to pack their bags and flee to the nearest Allied occupied area...
As soon as they left, the German army came back and knocked down Rome directly from the northern industrial area at an extremely fast speed, and rescued Mussolini. In order to vent their anger and revenge for the backstab, the German army waved a butcher knife in Rome Let's kill.
Vitini told Bardolio the news he had received from Russell in advance, and the two were grateful, and sent a special telegram to Russell, revealing that they wanted to give him a knighthood to express their gratitude.
Russell laughed after receiving the telegram. At this time, let the king give him the title?
Isn't this the fucking thing that cut treasures and entered the palace as a prison in the late Qing Dynasty?
Although the meaning is similar, there is an essential difference between the two.
Even if Italy changes to a new dynasty, people with titles in Europe will still be respected and will not be cast aside.
And there is a social network among the nobles, which can contact business elites and members of the royal families of various countries.
With Russell's status, he doesn't need a false title at all. Can the king grant him a Marquis?Impossible, at best it is a small title, it doesn't matter if you have it or not.
So, he sent Vitigny to the king to name his child.
If the name is too earthy, he will think of another one himself. Anyway, this kind of favor must be consumed, otherwise it will be a trouble in the future.
He must ensure that he has only interests with Vitigny and no other intersections.
On the day of the child's full moon, an ambassador from mainland Italy came.
Russell met him at the town hotel.
The ambassador's attitude was very kind, and he sent a letter of knighthood and the name written by the king himself.
Russell glanced at the book of knighthood, the object of the knighthood was his child, a knighthood that a commoner could enjoy.
Beckham, who plays football with this kind of title, also has it. The main purpose is to attend noble parties at will.
The name given by the king is Vittorio, which is similar to the name of the king himself Vittorio, which is of great significance.
After the ambassador left, Russell returned to the sea view room with the knighthood letter.
"Marlena?"
She was feeding the baby in the room when she heard the voice reply: "I'm in the room."
Russell walked in, pasted the knighthood letter in front of her eyes, and said, "The king knighted our child, and even named him Vittorio."
Malena's eyes froze, and she said in astonishment: "King? He knighted our child and even named it himself? Oh my God!"
No wonder she had such a flattered expression. For the common people, the king was out of reach and could only be looked up to.
The king himself named and knighted the children of the common people, just like the rain from the Virgin Mary.
Russell didn't feel anything, just a broken knight title.
"Vittorio? It's a nice name, I like it very much."
Marlena was very happy, she couldn't calm down for a long time looking at the knighthood book.
"Honey, I know you are capable. But I really didn't expect that you would get a title for our child, even the lowest title of commoner knight is powerful enough."
Russell sat next to her, listening to Malena say: "With the title, our children can go to noble schools and enjoy the best treatment! Even if they go to other countries in the future, they will be superior to others."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Of course!"
Russell looked down, and Marina put the child in the stroller, turned around and looked at him.
"Honey, do you need me to change clothes?"
"You can wear the glass silk tight skirt that was newly made the day before yesterday..."
Malena winked and smiled, "I knew you wouldn't let it go."
Originally, Russell didn't want to name the child the king, but Marlena insisted until Russell gave up.
Since she gave birth, Russell obviously felt at a disadvantage, and had to admit that after the transformation, Marlena seemed to be a different person.
Vittorio Corleone is not as wrinkled as he was when he was born, and the fleshy pink on his face is very cute, but it is suffocating when he cries at night...
Only a few people knew about his being knighted, because Russell wanted to keep a low profile during this period of instability.
After all, there will be no king in Italy in a few years, but his title can still be respected in New Italy, and he can also enjoy preferential treatment. Whether there is a king or not has little effect on the jazz.
On the 13th, Italy formally declared war on the Germans.The Tongtian Allied Forces issued a declaration acknowledging that Italy was a party fighting together.
Also on the same day, Russell announced that the oil and import and export trades would start again. Olijato, Oncos, Nostin and others were very excited. They had been idle for a while, and their limbs were going to rust.
This time Angkos first took people to the Tunisian pier to make a stop, quickly opened up the relationship network, and reorganized the Chamber of Commerce.
It took only three days to negotiate with the allied forces for internal supplies. Their food was very good. I have to say that the allied forces are rich and powerful. Seeing that the price given by Angkos was cheap and the samples were high-quality, they ordered two ships to try.
Of course, not to mention the taste, as long as you don't get sick from eating it, the Allied forces will dare to buy it. The reason for ordering two ships first is to show the saved banknotes to the people above.
As long as the people above nod, not only can the soldiers start a small fire, but the officers can also have spare money to vent their fire.
Chapter 64
Sea Passenger Transport has added six new ships, a total of eight passenger ships travel daily to and from Messina, Catania, Palermo, Calabria on the Apennine Peninsula, Turkey and Greece.
The fishing boats that had been sent to the German army for transport planes were lost and recovered. Someone saw four of them in Gioia Tauro.When Olijatu heard the news, he sent people to search for them, and finally found six ships.
After bringing the ship back, he had the men from the Workers' Association refurbish and relabel the ship, and purchased another twenty freighters from various port shipyards.
Thousands of workers loaded the oil on board and shipped [-] tons of oil to Turkey and Greece!
As soon as he arrived in Turkey, Olijatu was a little confused, because Turkey wanted to keep all the oil, and he didn't understand it, so he sent a telegram to Russell.
When Russell received the news, he immediately thought of the situation in the Middle East at this time. The major oil-producing countries are basically controlled by the Allied forces. Iran, which was previously ruled by the German army, also declared war on the German army in September this year.
Therefore, they are all busy fighting, and the oil has been secretly transported home by the Allied forces, and they will not reveal a drop to sell to Turkey.
"Tell Oleiato that business can't do this. We have to share the worries of our brotherly countries who are suffering. Turkey and Greece must not let go. Besides, shipping oil by sea is very risky, and warships also need to pay for maintenance. Let them exchange food twice. , no lira, just gold and dollars.”
Turkey had to agree. They learned a painful lesson in World War I. They hid far away when World War II started, and they didn't even dare to watch the excitement.Although it is the most powerful country in the Middle East, without a complete industrial system, it can only be reduced to a second-rate country.
All kinds of energy reserves basically have to be imported, otherwise they will have to pull the brakes.
Some time ago, the war spread to Sicily, and Turkey felt the energy crisis, so it wanted to reserve more oil in case of emergency.
In just a few days, Olijatu shipped four times to Turkey, exported nearly 3000 tons, and earned more than [-] million lire worth of gold.
Vitini had to share more than half of the money, but Russell didn't feel bad.
When we discussed the share with him before, it was 91, but now it is basically 64, and both parties have agreed by default.
All businesses are running smoothly, and the monthly profit is stable at more than 2000 million.
Among them, oil accounts for the majority, followed by tobacco and trade, and the business of maritime passenger transport and red wine is a bit worse.
This is because the positioning is different, the former is for profit, and the latter is for fame.
The Duke's Black Pearl is well-known in Italy and has a lot to do with Hagen, and he has to admit that he has played a big part in it.
So Russell didn't forget him, and arranged for him to be the vice-mayor in Messina to help Harvey.
When Hagen saw him at that time, he confessed with gratitude, saying that he was blinded and didn't see the devil and angel clearly.
Half kneeling on the ground, he took Russell's hand and kissed him.
Affectionately call him "Mr. Godfather."
Russell just told him to do things well and not go astray again, otherwise the Holy Mother would not save him.
Hagen is grateful one after another, because since he stepped down, his life has undergone tremendous changes. The original people have abandoned him, and began to flatter Senator Chris enthusiastically...
After experiencing the ups and downs of this life, I remembered the kindness of my godfather.
evening,
Ocean view room.
After the two finished their dinner, they put Vittorio in the crib.
Marina chose a melodious tune, and she danced with Russell in a very solemn and formal black dress.
The dress skirt was slit to the heels of the legs, and every time she took a step, she would show her legs in black suspenders and stockings, and then quickly hide them.
It wasn't until the end of the trilogy that the two separated.
