Chapter 47 Black Water Gang
"Mayer Lansky is indeed a very troublesome character." Josie tapped on the table lightly and sighed.
It's not that Josie is afraid.
But for him, who is of Austrian origin, the other party's Jewish identity is very troublesome.
Especially Meyer Lankis is not just as simple as the godfather of the Jewish gangster. The other party also has another identity, that is, the same anti-French XX pioneer.
The other party had cooperated with the government during Roosevelt’s New Deal period, and jointly destroyed the then infamous American legal XX organization, the Silver Shirt Army.
So the other party is not only in the underworld, but also has extremely extensive contacts in the political world.
As just a new immigrant, Josie of Austrian descent, it is very unwise to confront the other party directly.
But soon, Josie quickly laughed.
Why do you have to face each other directly?
The other party probably doesn't even know he exists.
Because from the very beginning, Lyndon Schneider and Dix were doing all the production and sales of goods.
Lyndon Schneider is also a new German immigrant, but Dix is a true Irish!
Before the goods were robbed, the seven people who died and were injured were all Irish.
Before the rise of blacks and Latinos in the future, what are the three major gang ethnicities in the United States, Irish, Italian, and Jewish?
Which one has the largest number and scale?
Not Italian nor Jewish.
It is the Irish. Among the three ethnic groups, they were the first to immigrate to the United States, and they are the real originator of the American gangsters.
But Irish gangs have a big flaw, that is, they are keen on low-level violent crimes and have poor organizational discipline. The elites among them are more enthusiastic about politics.
So, in the long-term development of the Irish, the elite has become the largest group in American politics.
Before Josie crossed over, there were already 45 Irish presidents, and there were countless governors and senators.
However, when the Irish gradually occupied the political arena, the original status of the bottom of society, that is, the gangs, was occupied by the more organized Italians and Jews who came later.
"Hehe, Schneider, I know what you are worried about, but have you forgotten that Dix and his brothers are all Irish, and for a long time, the largest gang group in the entire United States has always been Irish , It’s just that compared to Italians and Jews, they are like a mess... But what if we can organize them?” Just when Lyndon Schneider wondered why Josie was laughing, Josie spoke.
Lyndon Schneider was also taken aback for a moment, and then realized what Josie meant.
Actually, it's not that Lyndon Schneider couldn't think of this one.
It’s just like the Germans of this era. Because of the Prussian traditional education and relatively outstanding abilities, they belong to the social elite wherever they go.
Military, commercial, political, scientific research.
These are their domains.
They generally don't think highly of gangsters.
Like Lyndon Schneider, although he had been cooperating with Dix before, he simply regarded Dix and his subordinates as thugs and labor.
This is why it is clearly the largest single ethnic group in the United States, but it is rarely heard that there are gangs with Germans as the main body.
Even if you really want to play gangsters, there is a high probability that you will play as Silver Shirts, D Guards...
But Josie is different. He doesn't have the arrogance in the bones of the German-speaking people in this era.
So he is already imagining now, what would happen if a gang with Irishmen as the leader and grassroots was established, but the middle backbone was a highly organized German gang?
Even the organizational structure, the Italian mafia has already given him a good example, just copy it.
If you can't copy this homework well, Josie should go home obediently and sleep with Margot in his arms.
Soon, Josie summoned Dix... Before, Schneider was afraid that this guy would cause trouble if he knew the news, so he just ruled Josie alone and didn't call him.
"Jews? Boss, as long as you open your mouth, I will immediately lead someone to pull out the Jewish gang!" Sure enough, after Dix arrived and heard that it was the Jewish gang who robbed the goods, Dix immediately couldn't sit still.
If it wasn't for Josie, the big boss who has been kind to him, sitting here, he would have asked that guy to take someone to the Jewish gang's territory immediately to fight for a vote.
"Don't worry, Dix, revenge is a matter of time, and what I want to talk to you now is another matter." Josie waved his hand and asked the other party to sit down.
"Boss, tell me!" Dix sat down quietly after hearing this.
"Dix, have you ever thought about being the boss?" Josie said straight to the point, "Just like Colosimo and Dean Albany once did."
He didn't say Al Capone, because Al Capone was Italian.
Colosimo and Dean Albany were the bosses of Chicago in the 1920s, proper Irishmen.
Although the latter two were replaced by Al Capone and other Italians, to a large extent, one reason was bad luck, and the other was that they were not as ruthless as Al Capone.
After all, when everyone is using submachine guns, few people will use heavy machine guns like Al Capone...
"Um, boss, I don't quite understand what you mean!" Dix couldn't help scratching his head when he heard Josie's words. With his straightforward personality, his brain was not as fast as Lyndon Schneider's.
"It's very simple. I'm going to set up a gang. Well, let's call it the Blackwater Gang! But the boss is not me, but you. Mr. Schneider is your advisor. In addition, you go to the refugee camp and recruit some refugees who have served as soldiers as instructors." And the executive officer. As for the rest, you can figure it out, buy a piece of land in the suburbs, build a military camp, and all members must receive military training. Although this requirement may be too much, I think as long as you give enough money, everyone Some people will be willing, and I will provide you with enough initial funds. After the gang is established, continue to help me with bulk goods, and I will share it with you. Well, let’s set it at 30% of the profit. In addition, I will share the gang’s other income You don’t take any money, it’s all yours.” Josie said one by one, “My only two requirements are that you can’t sell fans, and you can’t buy or sell people.”
Hearing Josie's words, Dix was very excited. Although his personality was straightforward, he was not stupid. He naturally understood that under such a model, he was not a puppet, but a gangster with great autonomy.
On the other hand, Linden Schneider's expression was a bit strange.
Because in his opinion, Josie is not building a gangster, he is clearly building a mercenary.
A militarized gangster, even if you think about it, you can shoot it. If you match it with corresponding weapons... Mafia and Jewish gangs?
And this model, Italians and Jews can't learn at all.
Because they do gangsters to make money, not to fight.
No boss would spend a lot of money to train younger brothers like this.
