Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 26 [Concept of a Rapid-Fire Gun]

Although many newspapers had rushed to publish reports on the Ethan incident the day before, the real bomb did not explode until the next day.

Because the largest newspaper in Winchester, the Beihai Daily, reported the incident and it was the front page headline.

You should know that in the past, Beihai Daily only reported on the most core people's livelihood affairs, legal and policy-related matters, and would never touch on content related to the mafia, let alone the front-page headlines.

As a result, today, when you pick up the newspaper, you can see the words written on the most conspicuous page: Law-abiding citizens are subjected to violent law enforcement. Where is Winston's civilization?
The accompanying picture was the one of Ethan standing at the door of the police station, and below it was a picture of Lewis in the interrogation room pinning Ethan to the ground and beating him like an angry beast.

As soon as this news came out, the police station was instantly pushed to the forefront. As for Lewis, his career as a law enforcement officer should be completely over.

In fact, this is exactly the case. He was suspended yesterday and received the news that he would be deported today.

He originally came to Winster from the capital to gain experience, but now that he has been deported, he can no longer make a living and there is no possibility for him to climb up in the police system.

He never imagined that he would be doomed because of a small mafia member.

So after he came out of the police station, he called the Evans family directly.

After all, it all started with the Evans family.

But the Evans family didn't answer his calls at all.

Because the Evans family is also in a desperate situation now.

They received the latest news that they might be kicked out.

The Evans family's meeting room was filled with smoke.

George Evans' eyes were bloodshot and his beard was unshaven, completely lacking his usual elegance. He drank another glass of wine and looked at the people below.

"Is there no definite news yet?"

He hasn't slept at all since the accident yesterday.

Initially, Lewis's action failed, completely shelving his original plan.

There was one thing Lewis did not lie to Ethan, that was, the Evans family did intend to take action against the Pauletta family.

George's Gunners were ready, and he even hired experts from the neighboring city to ensure that everything would go smoothly.

As a result, Lewis got into trouble.

His blood pressure rose when he saw the newspaper.

The originally precise plan suddenly became uncertain.

The leaders of the family advised him not to give up, saying that now is the best time to attack. Even if Ethan comes out, the Pauletta family is in a weak period.

Leonardo has wiped out the elite members of the Porretta family, and there is no better time than now.

Lewis also called and said that he must attack and even offered to join the battle himself.

George was hesitant. He didn't dare forget what Ethan had done, especially the silent elimination of Tony at Alberto's funeral.

The standoff continued into the evening, and Ethan went to Sandro's castle.

After receiving this news, George dared not move even more.

He was curious to know what Ethan and Sandro had said.

He spent a lot of time and energy to find out the news.

When I finally got it, it was already dawn.

The content of the message made him regretful.

If he had known earlier, he should have acted without hesitation yesterday.

It's too late to wait until today.

The content of the message is that Ethan will form an alliance with Sandro and the other two major families to do bootleg liquor business together.

The Evans family was kicked out.

If we take action at this time, other families will not agree, especially Sandro.

"George, if you ask me, forget about it and just do it. They haven't really formed an alliance yet. As long as we get rid of Ethan, we can still get a seat at the table."

What this subordinate said was quite right and made a lot of sense. But that was the outcome of winning.

What if you lose?
Joan's ending is there.

And can you really...win?

George took a deep breath.

The men were still making noise.

"Let those people see the iron and blood of the Evans family!"

"Shut up." George finally let out the breath, "Arrange a car, I want to meet Sandro. Also, send someone to meet Ethan and tell him I want to have dinner with him."

In the end, he didn't have the courage.

"Everyone, disperse."

When Ethan received the news, he was still in the Velen Tavern and had just had breakfast.

After Clay left yesterday, he didn't leave.

Because the matter of the Evans family has not yet ended, according to the information provided by Velen, the people of the Evans family have not withdrawn and the confrontation is still going on.

Ethan didn't dare to be careless, so he stayed in the tavern and waited, ready to provide support at any time.

During this process, Veron reported to Ethan the various situations in the newly taken over territory of the Cabrera family.

Finally, he mentioned the issue of force.

Before this, the family's military power was basically handed over to Leonardo.

As a result, that night, he was basically buried with Leonardo.

Now is a vacuum period with a serious shortage of military force.

It would be the same even if the Cabrera family was recruited.

There is no core force, and the only ones who can be considered the core are probably the dozen or so people in the Velen Tavern.

One person died during the last raid on Cabreya’s house.

Coupled with today's confrontation, Velen had no choice but to bring up this matter.

Ethan's plan was to have each leader send a group of his capable men for intensive training and then hand them over to Velen.

Then there was the issue of weapons; they didn't have enough guns.

We can't always rely on those guns in the basement of the Velen Tavern.

But speaking of guns, Ethan thought of one thing.

That is, he didn't see a single submachine gun in Velen's wine cellar.

This is an excellent weapon for urban underworld warfare.

So he asked Velen this question, but Velen seemed very confused and really didn't know what a submachine gun was.

Ethan felt he had been dealt a good hand.

Although he knew nothing about brewing and couldn't improve fake wine, he had a certain amount of experience in firearms. He had done some research on firearms in his previous life and at least knew the basic structure and principles of submachine guns.

In addition, he now has the blessing of authority and is very familiar with the firearms in this world.

So based on the firearms in this world, he added the structure of the submachine gun in his previous life and finally designed a new firearm.

That night, in addition to preparing for battle, he actually spent more time drawing blueprints.

When he finished drawing the blueprint, he had almost finished his breakfast, and at that moment the news of the Evans family's withdrawal also arrived.

"Wei Lun, please find someone to try making this gun first. Remember, it must be kept secret. Once it is completed, give it to me as soon as possible."

Ethan stretched, gave the blueprint to Velen, and prepared to go back to sleep.
