Chapter 184: Chapter 184 The Irish Plan To Unify Los Angeles
Hearing Raymond's name, Alan Penn's face turned pale. Could Raymond be targeting the Austrian gang? Were Sigel and Fred really dead?
Otherwise, how dare Jaime Weiss act so boldly?
It seemed the Irish were planning a major attack on Los Angeles. Who could withstand it?
What should he do now?
Jaime Weiss had Alan Penn pulled up, pretending to brush the dust off him, and said with a smile, "Alan, join the North Shore Gang with the Austrian gang. I promise to make you the third in command. How about it?"
Alan Penn didn't believe Jaime Weiss's promises at all.
Jaime Weiss was known for being ruthless and unpredictable. Once he gained control of the Austrian gang's assets and territory, Alan would be the first to perish.
"Jaime, don't forget, there's still the Bill gang in Los Angeles," Alan Penn said.
Jaime Weiss sneered, "The Bill gang, huh? Haha~~, after I take over the Austrian gang, they're next."
Raymond suddenly received a call from Emilio Basini, the head of the Basini Mafia family.
"Raymond, are you interested in making a deal?" Basini asked.
"Emilio Basini, what do you want, you old fox?!" Raymond replied rudely.
Outsiders believe that the Irish and the Mafia are always at odds, often fighting over territory and interests, thinking they would never have any contact. In reality, sometimes, to make money, they do communicate.
Of course, they are definitely not friends. Everything is just for profit.
Basini didn't care at all that Raymond called him an old fox and smiled, saying, "Are you interested in Los Angeles?"
"What do you mean? Los Angeles is Sigel's territory. What are you planning?" Raymond asked, puzzled.
With a hint of bitterness, Basini remarked, "That bastard Sigel cheated us."
"He used our money to invest in the construction of a casino in Las Vegas, which closed down after just three months in business."
"So much money must have been embezzled by him. He must return it. We are going to deal with him and take the casino."
Raymond had heard about Sigel's casino project, which had now become a joke in the underworld.
Raymond understood a little.
"You want to kill Sigel, and then Los Angeles will be vacant. Are you proposing to use Los Angeles to make a deal with me?"
"Sigel's Austrian gang occupies the best territory in Los Angeles, and their property is estimated to be worth millions," Basini said.
It would be a lie to say that Raymond wasn't tempted.
"Then what do you want?" Raymond asked.
"It's very simple. We want Las Vegas. After the deal is done, Las Vegas will belong to our families, and the Irish gang will not forcefully enter to steal business," Basini said.
In other words, Basini was going to use the territory of Los Angeles to trade with Raymond in exchange for the Irish gang not entering Las Vegas to steal business.
In fact, Basini did not pay anything for this deal. The so called millions of assets of the Austrian gang had nothing to do with him.
And Raymond did not have to pay anything either. There was no Irish industry in Las Vegas. Currently, Sigel still rules Las Vegas. Raymond only needed to promise not to enter Las Vegas.
The real loss would be Sigel's.
The Austrian gang's territory and industries would be divided by the Irish.
The Las Vegas industry would be robbed and divided by the four major Mafia families.
Thus, the two old foxes struck a deal. Raymond found his military advisor, David and asked him to go to Los Angeles to talk to Jaime Weiss.
There is no complete affiliation among gangs. Although Jaime Weiss is part of the Irish gang, he is not Raymond's subordinate. Raymond wants a share of Los Angeles, so he naturally has to trade with Jaime Weiss.
Raymond first called Jaime Weiss, and David arrived in Los Angeles the next day. Jaime Weiss actually resisted Raymond's desire to intervene in Los Angeles.
David smiled, "Jaime, do you think you can unify the entire Los Angeles underworld with your power?"
Jaime Weiss didn't say anything.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew he didn't have the ability.
Not to mention unification, even in Los Angeles, his North Shore Gang was only ranked third.
The original ranking in Los Angeles was the Austrian Gang, the North Shore Gang, the Spanish Gang, and the Mexican Gang. Now it is the Austrian Gang, the Bill Gang, the North Shore Gang, and the Mexican Gang.
After the Bill Gang appeared, the North Shore Gang was squeezed out to third place. Not to mention unifying the underworld of Los Angles he can't even fight the Bill gang.
"Jaime, do you want to be the underground emperor of Los Angeles?" David asked.
Jaime Weiss's breathing became a little faster at David's words. The underground emperor was the pinnacle of his life's dream.
Just like Al Capone in Chicago and Raymond in Detroit, Capone controlled the mayor and council members, and Raymond controlled the unions in Detroit. They could both be called underground emperors.
"Of course I do," Jaime Weiss affirmed.
"Haha, Chairman Raymond said that if we cooperate, this goal can be achieved. After unifying Los Angeles, Los Angeles will still be yours. We just want to share the profits. How about it?" David said.
"What are you going to do?" Jaime Weiss asked.
David leaned close to Jaime Weiss's ear and whispered a few words. The more Jaime Weiss listened, the brighter his eyes became.
There was going to be internal conflict within the Mafia. Someone wanted to kill Sigel. Once Sigel died, the entire Austrian gang would be leaderless. Raymond also promised to send people to help him first destroy the Austrian gang, then other gangs, and finally unify Los Angeles.
By then, Jaime Weiss would be the underground emperor of Los Angeles.
The desire to be the underground emperor overcame reason. Jaime Weiss agreed to cooperate with Raymond. The two sides negotiated how to divide the benefits. Finally, Jaime Weiss agreed to give Raymond 16% of the North Shore Gang's future profits.
But Jaime Weiss also had a request. Within three years, Raymond must help him become a member of the Irish Union Committee.
David communicated with Raymond by phone, and Raymond agreed.
The underground deal was concluded.
