Chapter 11 The Gradual Transfer of the Family

In the small town of Modica, Chrysler drove all the way and stopped in front of a small building.
Looking at the very old house, Lu Yan couldn't help but said: "Maybe we should let father live somewhere else!"
"It's my father, Rosé!"
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Marlena was surprised at first, and then smiled happily,
"It's mine now, isn't it?"
In order to please the beauty, Lu Yan didn't care about the trouble of addressing him.
Looking at Lu Yan with joy, Marlena rested her head on her shoulder and said, "Thank you!"
"No need, honey!"
Touching Marlena's face, Lu Yan showed a hint of tenderness,
But just as the two were enjoying the warmth, they heard an angry voice coming from behind: "Marlena, what are you doing? Is this how I taught you?"
The sudden roar tore apart the calm,
When Lu Yan and Marlena turned around, they saw a serious old man staring at them and roaring,
"Father, this is Luo Sai. He proposed to me last night, and I agreed!"
Looking at her father, Marlena quickly explained,
Looking at Lu Yan in surprise, the old man frowned and said, "You agreed to his proposal? Why can't you discuss such a big matter with me? I'm your father!"
Seeing his daughter who was arrogant in making decisions, the old man immediately scolded her,
"Father, I believe in my choice! I love him!"
Arriving in front of the old man, Marlena grabbed him with a pleading look on her face, her face full of determination.
After seeing his daughter's appearance, the old man originally wanted to say something, but he sighed and said, "Okay, let's go in first and talk about it! Don't let people watch the fun!"
In the afternoon, at Marlena’s father’s house,
Lu Yan treated the old man to a sumptuous dinner with a surprised look on his face.
But when he thought about Lu Yan's abduction of Marlena, there was still no joy on his face.
He bid farewell to the two of them solemnly, but only told Malena to come and see him more.
Leaving the old man’s home,
Marlena hugged Lu Yan's shoulders in the car and said, "Dear, I'm sorry, I didn't know my father would resist you so much!"
"It doesn't matter, Marlena, I'm not marrying your father anyway, right?"
Reaching out and scratching the tip of Marlena's nose, Lu Yan laughed,
"What are you talking about!"
Looking at Lu Yan angrily, Malena immediately burst out laughing.
1941, March 5,
As the war gradually spread to the entire world, Lu Yan also began to decide to transfer his family.
In his future vision, Sicily is the family base and the manufacturing factory for core members.
Nine months later, the bombardment of Pearl Harbor also pushed this great country into the Allied camp.
Not to mention what Tiaobenji was thinking, Lu Yan knew that once Italy surrendered, the German army would definitely attack in anger.
After all, even the main island of Sicily has German troops stationed there.
Lu Yan felt melancholy at the thought of his future cheap father-in-law being killed in a bombing. He didn't want Marlena to be sad.
Corleone Manor in the bright sunshine,
Marlena, who has moved here long ago, is watering the flowers in the yard and seems to like these varieties brought from other countries very much.
Seeing Malena so happy, Lu Yan felt it was worth it.
As for Bomeirenyixia, the financial and material resources spent are not worth mentioning at all.
"Wow..."
The iron door slowly opened,
Three brand-new cars slowly drove in. When they arrived at the parking lot, several men in black suits walked out.
Looking at this scene, Marlena glanced curiously,
"lady!"
Bowing politely, Rektor and others took off their hats and saluted.
Smiling slightly, Marlena was still very reserved even though she had met everyone many times.
"My dear, how about you ask the servants to make a cup of coffee?"
Looking back at Marlena, Lu Yan waved to everyone,
"Okay, Darling, you guys talk first!"
Quickly returning to the villa, Malena directed the servants to make coffee and desserts.
Watching Marlena leave, Lu Yan handed out the cigars,
After taking the cigar, Rektor and others started puffing away.
"How are the preparations for the advance team? I don't want to have a black eye when I go!"
Biting his cigar, Lu Yan looked at Recto,
"Boss, everything is ready. The first group of people are the backbone of the family. There will never be any problems with them!"
Reiktor spoke seriously, and quickly took out a list,
Scanning the list, Lu Yan frowned and said, "Who will lead the team?"
"Rossi Taryan! Captain of the Third Legion! A very young guy, but he is trustworthy!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Rektor named the people who had been deleted many times.
"Rosie? I remember him. He thanked me for the New Year gift last time! The family needs people like this who know how to be grateful!"
Looking at Recto, Lu Yan thought of the brown-haired young man who had a daughter at a young age. His smile was very hearty and wise, which was very in line with the characteristics of Sicilian people.
"Since you agree, I'll go down and get people ready! Boss!"
After receiving Lu Yan's instructions, Rektor quickly spoke,
"In addition to the Third Army, the Second Army and the Fourth Army should also follow! Today's Sicily does not need so many manpower. Our future core will be in Chou Country, which is the ark of the family's future!"
Lu Yan's slender index finger tapped on the table, and Lu Yan couldn't help but reveal a dignified expression.
Since he knew that Sicily would turn into a battlefield sooner or later, he would never place himself in a dangerous area.
Once the Germans fall out, they won't be friendly with you. All they want is the money after they leave.
The Corleone family now has five legions under its command. Commander Rector,
Each legion has two captains and two hundred members, responsible for performing various tasks.
This time Lu Yan does not plan to move ants, but plans to directly move most of the family to Chou Country.
In the past year or so, they have made enough money, and they have converted the jewelry and gold into more than 8 million U.S. dollars.
You must know that this was the 1940s. The average monthly salary of American people was 114 US dollars, the median monthly salary was 80 US dollars, most people's monthly income was between 60-150 US dollars, and the minimum wage was 40-50 US dollars.
How much is a pound of ham? 20 cents!
More than 8 million, enough to create two Corleone families from scratch.
In the evening, after Lu Yan cooked the food himself, the servants placed the delicacies on the table and left.
under bright lights,
Marlena sat opposite Lu Yan and said, "Dear, are you hiding something from me? Why do so many people come recently?"
Marlena asked curiously, a little puzzled,
She didn't like to get involved in the internal affairs of the Corleone family, but she didn't want her husband to get into trouble either, but she kept it secret from herself.
"My dear, are you willing to leave Sicily with me and go to the ugly country?"
Looking at Marlena, Lu Yan asked softly,
"Are we leaving? Why!"
Looking at Lu Yan in surprise, Malena thought life here was very good.
"The war is about to spread. Only in Chou Country can there be no war!"
Looking at Marlena seriously, Lu Yan explained,
"I'm willing to go anywhere with you!"
After hearing Lu Yan's explanation, Malena was silent for a long time, looking at him seriously,
After receiving Marlena's reply, Lu Yan put down the knife and fork in his hand and stepped forward.
Seeing Lu Yan's actions, Marlena exclaimed: "No, honey, I haven't eaten yet!"
“It’s just as well to eat it later!”
Hugging Marlena, Lu Yan carried her straight into the room.
