Chapter 151 One Ton of Arms and New Cooperation

As a representative sent by the Chestalo family, Colin will report to Luca about the progress of Capellocha's ban on bootlegging every week or so.

It has only been two short weeks since the Capello family officially began their operation, but seventeen speakeasies in South Stade have already been cleared out.Calculating the proceeds from the looting alone, the value is around 10,000+ Ori.While the five patriarchs were amazed at how deep the bootleggers had penetrated into Southstadt, they were unanimously satisfied with the outcome.

Most of them don't realize that all this is just clearing out competitors for "Heinrich".A force that can really shake the status of the Five Hands is quietly rising with their help.

Luca is still working on the top floor of the "Aspen Hotel". For some reason, he seems to be extremely busy recently.Colin sat at his desk, and reported to him the course of each of Capello's attacks in a leisurely manner. From the discovery of clues, the consumption of personnel, to the disposal of the corpse after the incident, Colin explained all the details .

Apart from turning a blind eye to the "Lieutenant", there is no problem with Capello's actions.So Colin only needs to report everything truthfully, there is no need to make up anything.

Perhaps out of trust, Luca didn't pay much attention to what Colin said.He was busy with his own affairs, and only occasionally wrote down the numbers and names that appeared in Colin's mouth, so that he could check them when needed.

After the usual report was over, Colin was about to leave by himself, but Luca stopped him again.

He put on the cap of the big sharp pen in his hand, stood up from the seat, and asked casually:
"...during this time, have you ever heard of a man called 'The Lieutenant'?"

"no, what happened?"

"It's news from Marizio." Luca said:

"He suspects that not only the group of people from the north came to South Stadt. There is another group of people who may be soldiers who came back from Nale a few years ago." Luca frowned and said:

"And the 'Lieutenant' is always being mentioned lately, so let me ask you by the way, have you heard anything over Capello's side?"

Colin thought for a while and replied:
"You know Capello's gang. Most of the time, they don't know who they are fighting with. Now, they should only remember to destroy every underground bar."

"So, I've never heard anything about 'the lieutenant' over there. As for who the lieutenant might be, these bootleggers are still fighting each other, with several factions. If I were to guess, this lieutenant might be one of them Which leader?"

Luca nodded, indicating that he understood.

Now there are at least seven or eight bootleggers who have died in the hands of the Capello family.But most of them don't have names, because no one bothered to dig into their identities.

In this way, even if the "Lieutenant" is now killed by Capello's men, it may take some time before there is any news.

Although Capello is now at the forefront, it cannot be expected that these people will notice any valuable clues.

"One last thing," said Luca:

"I heard that people are buying a large number of firearms recently. I guess now, only wine dealers have the financial resources and needs. Therefore, the recent cleaning...should encounter a relatively fierce counterattack, and there may be heavy firepower. Be careful yourself some."

"I will." Colin replied with a smile:

"Also, I rarely go to the scene with them, so there is nothing to worry about."

…………

In fact, even if he went to the scene of the fire every day, Ke Lin would not encounter any danger.

Because the person who bought a large number of guns was himself.

Mr. Daniel, a tycoon in the garment sales industry, used "contraband gifts" ingeniously to please buyers from all over the past few days, and signed many new orders, which also aroused an uproar among his colleagues.

A sick competition began to arise in the circle of the Stade garment industry.So when Colin wore a mask and visited Daniel's office again, the manager paid the final payment of [-] Ori very readily.

At the same time, in order to prevent Colin from selling the same goods to other competitors, Daniel boldly ordered another nearly 150 cases of bootleg wine and paid another [-] Ori deposit on the spot.

Realizing the value of the contraband to his business, Daniel began storing large amounts of cash in his office.

So this time, Ke Lin left Daniel Garment Company with a suitcase.The Ori was of great value, and ten Ori notes were not common, so there were many Ori of one or two denominations in the box.Feeling the heavy weight of the box in his hand, Ke Lin knew that this was wealth that many people would never be able to obtain in their lifetime, but he had no real feeling in his heart.

Because they come too fast, and because they are about to leave from my hands.

Through the relationship of "Dirty Finger" Dejo, Colin contacted an arms dealer.It is said that he is from Baidu, and his name is Schmidt. He returned to China by boat from the Kayu subcontinent, where the war was fading away, a year ago, and temporarily settled in Stade.Most of the clients this person contacts are nobles who are planning to form small private armies.In the war ten years ago, he sold weapons to both sides of the battlefield at the same time.

Because of Capello's civil war, Dejo tried his best to buy weapons, but he couldn't find a way. As a result, he got acquainted with such a person in a casino in the old city once.

"Schmidt says you'll get a small shipment that was supposed to be shipped to Otto if you pay [-] times the price."

De Qiao said: "But in fact, that batch of goods has been detained for two months. It seems that this person has offended the customs before. The price is [-] times? In fact, the discount is almost the same."

Colin thought for a while:
"Let's do it this time. The premise is that he must be allowed to get out of the detained ship by himself."

The reason for accepting this price is also because it is difficult to buy a large number of weapons from other people.And not long after, Colin felt that he and this Mr. Schmidt would deal again.

Thus, the [-] Ori just obtained disappeared from Ke Lin's hands.

Two days later, nearly [-] wooden boxes were sent to the place designated by Ke Lin, and there were nearly [-] firearms and bullets of various calibers in them.

What really surprised Ke Lin was that the last batch of goods was settled in terms of kilograms.

Several conventional firearms are equipped with a certain proportion of bullets, and the price is [-] Ori per kilogram.

Then judging from the results, I almost bought... a ton of ammunition.

When calculated by weight, things seem particularly exaggerated.Is this the style of the alliance's foreign arms transactions?

…………

If it was just to fight against the secular part of the northern organization, in fact, so many weapons would not be needed at all.

Ke Lin didn't dare to let these light machine guns frequently appear on the streets of the old city.Although the law and order is not much better, but after all, it is no better than South Stadt, where the poor in Cincily live.

If it really aroused the ire of the authorities, it might all be over.

Therefore, most of the time, these weapons can only be used in South Stadt. They are purchased mainly to consolidate one's own base and to guard against possible attacks from the five hands from behind.

With the northern organization completely cleared from Southstadt, it may be difficult for Julio to protect her speakeasies.Even now, Marizio was aware of a gang of veterans operating on his turf.

And at that time, the five hands will become the enemy of the "Lieutenant".

I just hope that before that day comes, I can settle the situation in the old city.

…………

For nearly ten days starting from October [-], more than [-] underground bars of the northern organization in the old city began to be attacked frequently.

The soldiers returning from Nareth took up their guns again, and by this time the advantages of their discipline began to show.

The advantage does not lie in the outcome, because there is no suspense from the beginning, even if the soldiers only use pistols.The opponents were just some low-level hooligans, and they were far different from those with five hands. Even if they had killed a few people these days and raised a bit of ferocity, they would never be those of these professional war machines. opponent.

Therefore, compared with this doomed victory, the real advantage of the soldiers is that the time of each raid was controlled within 5 minutes, and almost no casualties were caused, and no clues were left.So as to minimize the impact of the entire incident.Almost silently, the transfer of one speakeasy after another was completed between the two organizations.This one-sided situation, on the contrary, seems that the two sides have already discussed the result, and now they are just going through a process for a smooth handover.

On October 42, the day before the official operation began, Colin finally received a reply from the owner behind the northern organization, which contained only the key and serial number of a safe deposit box in a private bank, and a piece of paper with the locations of 42 underground bars.The implication was clear: there was a partnership between them. "Lieutenant Heinrich" will be eligible to participate in the proxy competition.And these [-] speakeasies are the initial pilot projects.

Therefore, most wizards except the agent will not interfere with the attack he is going to launch.

Then the remaining question is how to deal with the three agents and their followers.

Every time his subordinates launch a surprise attack, Colin will be there specially to prevent a certain transcendent from appearing, but there is no result.Maybe it's because people here carry several "typewriters" in addition to pistols.In a narrow space, even wizards are unwilling to confront this kind of thing head-on.

But Ke Lin didn't believe that they would withdraw from the competition willingly. No matter what the attitude of the behind-the-scenes was, as long as they were still alive, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

And presumably the current thoughts of several agents will only be more intense than this.
