Chapter 152： : The Gambling Rising Dragon and Tiger Club

Detroit.

The news of the destruction of the North Shore Gang appeared in the newspaper the next morning. Raymond got up for dinner in the morning, and his first reaction when he saw the report was not to believe it.

He knows the strength of the North Shore Gang. Hemiweis is doing very well. He sent David to bring sixty or seventy good players. How could he be wiped out overnight? Who has such great strength, even he may not be. can do it.

Where's David?

What happened to David.

Raymond immediately called his guard, "Go to Los Angeles, understand what happened, and investigate how David is."

"It's the boss."

The guards immediately set off for Los Angeles with a few people. After investigation, they learned a lot of the situation and immediately called Raymond to report.

"Boss, we investigated that the North Bank Gang launched an attack on the Jewish Gang last night, and the police and HD security were dispatched. Hemiweis's action completely failed. Then Bill's Gang took action and wiped out the North Bank Gang. Now the North Bank Gang has been completely destroyed."

"What about David?" Raymond asked.

"Sergeant David was beaten to death, and the body was placed in the hospital morgue." the guard said.

Raymond was holding the phone, his heart was full of anger. David had been with him for decades, and he was his most powerful subordinate, the chief strategist. He did not expect that he would fall into the sand in Los Angeles.

Dozens of his meticulously trained subordinates were also wiped out.

Raymond's first thought was revenge.

Take a few deep breaths.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he has been rolling in the underworld for decades. His original hot temper has worn off a lot. As he grows older, he is now thinking more and more carefully in handling matters.

When the North Bank Gang attacked the Jewish Gang, the police and security companies appeared so quickly. There could not be no reason. Then the Bill Gang completely attacked the North Bank Gang and wiped out the North Bank Gang in a short period of time, indicating that they were also well prepared.

Being able to mobilize the police, the security company, and the Bill Gang at the same time proves that this force behind is very large.

If you send someone to Los Angeles to avenge yourself, you can only send dozens or hundreds of people there, which may not be successful.

It seems that for the time being, he cannot act rashly.

"Isaac, don't come back first. Stay in Los Angeles for a while to investigate the whole thing clearly. I want to know who is behind." Raymond said solemnly.

"Good boss."

......

Someone is investigating Hardy's situation, and at this moment Hardy has taken HD security people to Las Vegas.

This time I went to Las Vegas and dispatched 4 planes. Hardy took Lanster, Richard’s sniper group, Neil’s explosive group, Kerry’s machine gun group and Matthew and Leo’s combat group. .

A total of more than one hundred people, it can be described as the elite.

At the same time, he also brought Andy's economic advisory group.

As for Henry's intelligence team, he arrived in Las Vegas by car the day before yesterday. The planes stopped at the Las Vegas airport one after another. There were dozens of cars and trucks parked at the airport. These were all found by Henry.

Members of the combat team removed a large number of materials from the plane and loaded them into the vehicle.

It took a full 20 minutes to end.

The convoy set off.

Henry and Hardy rode in a car and said:

"Boss, I rented a manor, located in the middle of downtown Las Vegas and the airport, about 5 kilometers away from the city. The manor is large enough for us to station."

"Did the intelligence team collect any useful information in the past two days?" Hardy asked.

"Only some superficial intelligence was collected. The bodies of Mr. Siegel and Fred Boss are now in the hospital morgue. The police defined them as murder, but no murderer was found."

"Someone at the Flamingo Casino came forward to accept the past. It is said that they have Mr. Siegel’s share agreement in their hands, which is a legal acceptance. The Flamingo project has been completely stopped. All the workers have been withdrawn. The other party only left thirty or forty. If you look at the venue, we have also found out the origins of these people. They are the Mafia San Francisco Selton family."

Hardy knew about the Selton family. Their patriarch was named Leb Selton. The Selton family is now one of the major gangs in San Francisco, and its strength is about the same as the previous Jewish gang.

Hardy said in his heart that the Selton family jumped out at this time, probably because of the instigation of other families.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, we have also discovered some situations. The five major families in New York have increased their strength in Las Vegas at the same time, and their casinos have increased a lot of manpower than before."

There are now more than 30 casinos in Las Vegas, and casinos can be opened here, all of which are supported by forces behind them. The five major families of the New York Mafia have casinos in Las Vegas, but the scale is far smaller than that of later generations. Large, a small casino with a dozen table games, even smaller than underground casinos in big cities.

These people build casinos here, saying it is for profit, rather than for money laundering. Las Vegas gambling is legal. Gamblers can exchange cash for chips in the casino. People from their gangs can earn money from other channels. The money received was gambling wildly in the casino, and all the illegally obtained cash was lost. The casino got the money and turned it into legal income.

In fact, it is a left-handed-right-handed relationship.

Las Vegas now has a resident population of only 20,000, and there are tens of thousands of tourists every year. It is really necessary to rely on these tourists to make money. These casinos have closed early.

When Siegel built a casino in Las Vegas, he naturally had the idea of ​​money laundering, not only laundering his own money, but also helping other politicians, companies, and celebrities to launder money. Of course, attracting tourists to gambling and making money is also one of the ideas.

His thoughts were a little bit ahead, and he was killed before he could realize his ideals.

"How much did it increase?" Hardy asked.

"Every family has added 20 or 30 people, and the Corleone family has nearly 50 people." Henry said.

Now that the four major families and the Corleone family are at war, it seems that the battlefield has stretched from New York to Las Vegas.

"Henry, use all your power to monitor the five major family casinos and the Flamingo casino. As for other family casinos, they should also pay attention to the news. They may not be able to participate." Hardy said.

The Mafia Committee has 24 families, and each has a casino in Las Vegas, so each of these casinos represents the gangster family power in a city.

The relationship here is complex.

Siegel was here in the past, with his status as a mafia veteran and the reputation he left behind, and Los Angeles is the closest to Las Vegas, so other families recognize that Las Vegas is Siegel's territory.

But now that he is dead, everything has changed.

Las Vegas has become the lamb that the major forces are fighting desperately.

Take back the Flamingo Casino?

Not in a hurry.

The casino is just there and can't run, and others can't take it away.

The key to the problem now is to collect more information, clarify the intricate relationships, and make plans that are more beneficial to you.

The old ancestors have given us a principle long ago, "Make a decision and then move, know and stop it!"

The next day.

Lanster brought people to the Las Vegas City Hall and applied for the establishment of HD security Las Vegas distribution, which was quickly approved.

HD Security has leased a three-story office building in the most conspicuous location on the main city street, and hung a huge light box sign.

"HD Security Defense Company!"

This sign is even bigger and more conspicuous than those of the casinos.

Many people in the casino came out to watch the excitement, one by one, they were amazed, and laughed and said: "Haha, a security company is opened in the casino. Are they going to protect our casino?"

"HD security is very famous, haven't you heard that they combined with the police to destroy the North Shore Gang two days ago."

"Isn't the North Shore Gang killed by the Bill Gang."

"I heard that HD security has contributed the most. Most of the people in the North Shore Gang were killed by them. No one dares to doubt the combat effectiveness of HD security."

After the company was poked up, Hardy went to visit the Mayor of Las Vegas Goodman.

The night before coming to Vegas, Hardy called the Corleone family in New York, communicated with Mike about what happened in Los Angeles in the past two days, and asked about the current situation of the Corleone family.

The Corleone family and the other four major families are fighting fiercely. Basically, you move my property today and I will kill you tomorrow.

Hardy told Mike that he was going to Las Vegas.

The old godfather answered the phone and told Hardy about the basic situation of Las Vegas, let Hardy know how deep the water in Las Vegas is, and at the same time tell him that he and the current Las Vegas The mayor has some connections and can be introduced to him.

Have to admire the connections of the old godfather.

But without this network, the Corleone family would not be able to open their own casino in the casino.

Hardy and Mayor Goodman met, and the two had a good chat. Mayor Goodman welcomed Hardy's investment in Las Vegas and HD Security's presence in Las Vegas.

Hardy introduced the HD security situation and past achievements to Mayor Goodman, especially the achievements made in maintaining public order in Los Angeles. Mayor Goodman has read the report, and Director Eddy of Los Angeles praised HD security. It's a day.

Mayor Goodman said, "It is indeed a good idea for the security company to help maintain law and order. I will propose this to the council. You know that approval of the funds needs to be approved by the council."

Hardy smiled softly, "Mayor Goodman, the council discusses that it will take a long time, ranging from one or two months to the longest one and a half years. I have a proposal. Before the council agrees, HD For the time being, security will be on duty free of charge. One is to contribute to the maintenance of social order in Las Vegas, the other is to get familiar with the environment, and the third is to show the role of security companies. What do you think of this? "

"free?"

"Yes, it's free."

If it does not cost money, then HD Security wants to become a supplementary force of the Las Vegas Police Department, just a word from Mayor Goodman.

It’s free and not for nothing.

"Well, I will call Director Steve and let them sign an agreement with HD Security." Goodman said happily.

In order to thank Hardy for his contribution to the order of Las Vegas, Mayor Goodman also invited Hardy to lunch together.

afternoon,

Lanster went to the police station to meet with Chief Steve of the Las Vegas Police Department. The two sides signed an agreement that HD Security will supplement the Las Vegas Police Department. HD Security has the right to be responsible for Las Vegas in the future. Gas patrols and handling of violent incidents.

The terms are similar to those signed by the Los Angeles Police Department.
