To put it bluntly, those who died were either Mayer Rankis's confidants or his friends.

In other words, the forces that carried out the attack likely have a grudge against Maye Rankis.

However, this alone is not enough to easily pinpoint the forces that took action.

After all, as the leader of the largest Jewish gang in the United States, Maye Rankis had countless enemies.

However, this is based on the fact that all the attackers were extremely well-trained.

Both the Mafia and the authorities placed their primary suspicions on Mustache and Hydra agents.

The reason is simple: the attackers were well-trained and had a distinctly European military style. Their actions were meticulous and swift, befitting the behavior of soldiers and special agents.

As for the hatred, it's quite simple. Back when the White Shirts were rampant in the United States, it was Mayer Rankis who, with the covert support of the authorities, organized a large number of Jewish gang members to engage in a fierce struggle against the White Shirts.

Moreover, they didn't even use guns; they relied solely on their fists and gazes to drive the Silver Shirt Army into hiding.

During this process, Maye Rankis also helped the FBI crack numerous espionage cases involving Germany and Hydra.

Therefore, to some extent, Mayer Rankis was also a thorn in the side of Germany or Hydra intelligence.

So at that moment, neither the Italian Mafia nor the FBI in charge of the case could have imagined that this series of cases was actually just a planned gangland feud.

Because the number of people involved was too large and too scattered, and because no one touched the territory, goods, money, etc. belonging to the attacked Jewish gangs.

This is completely contrary to the style of normal gang warfare.

Faced with this situation, the Italians tacitly refrained from any extreme reactions and simply began to quietly accept the unclaimed territory.

Meanwhile, the FBI began a major investigation into people who had recently traveled to or from Europe.

This investigation uncovered quite a few spies.

However, the attacks were not completely over.

Because Maye Rankis herself, who should have been the focus of a series of cases, was ignored.

It cannot be said that they were ignored.

The main reason is that when these attacks occurred, Maye Rankis was not in the United States at all, but in Havana, Cuba.

During this period, Cuba was still under warlord rule.

American gangs, through bribery, act with impunity in Cuba.

Maye Rankis was one of the main people in charge of this.

So he spends almost half the year in Havana.

However, after news of a series of attacks in the United States reached Cuba, Maye Rankis, as the leader, naturally could not stay in Cuba any longer. He immediately set off, taking a yacht to return to Miami from Havana.

Although the civil aviation industry in the United States has developed rapidly, it is mainly limited to the domestic market. International routes are limited to the Boeing 314 large seaplane to the United Kingdom and a few routes to Canada.

Although Cuba is very close to the United States, it has no air routes due to its political instability.

The only way to travel between Cuba and the United States is by boat.

Fortunately, Havana is not far from Miami, less than 400 kilometers away, and it only takes half a day by ferry.

When Maye Rankis arrived in Miami, her men were already waiting for her at the dock in their cars.

As the top leader of the Jewish gang, his level of protection was naturally very high, with four or five cars and more than twenty subordinates protecting him tightly.

However, at that moment, a Ford pickup truck carrying hay, passing by not far away, revealed its menacing nature.

As the hay in the back of the truck was lifted, a deadly weapon was exposed to Mayer Rankis and his men.

This is an even more ferocious weapon than the M1985 that Dix used in Chicago... the M1919!

Chapter 51 The Second Dimensional Beacon

"Mr. Josh, your order for the powerful degreasing service has been completed. Have a nice day!" Half an hour later, in a villa in West Palm Beach, less than 100 kilometers from Miami, Josh listened to the voice on the phone and smiled with satisfaction.

After hanging up the phone, Josie happily opened a bottle of champagne, poured two glasses, and headed to the backyard.

In the backyard's outdoor swimming pool, a mermaid is swimming gracefully and freely.

"What happened? You look so happy?" Margot, who had slowly swum to the shore and poked half her body out of the water, asked Josie curiously as she held two glasses of wine.

Although the United States enacted laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors as early as 1933 when it repealed Prohibition, it did not prohibit minors from drinking alcohol.

Therefore, it is still quite common for minors to drink alcohol in this era.

However, Margot knew that this guy didn't like drinking alcohol. He would only drink a little champagne or red wine on some important occasions, and he would never ask to drink.

Now that he's actually opened champagne, he must have encountered some happy event.

"It's nothing, I just completed an investment. Although I can't see any returns in the short term and I've even lost a lot of money, the future looks promising!" Josie said with a smile as she handed one of the glasses of champagne to the beauty and clinked glasses lightly.

When you encounter something joyful, how can you be without fine wine and beautiful women by your side?

"So, you should be done with your work by now?" Margot wisely refrained from asking about investments and said this after finishing her drink with Josie.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Josie nodded.

"Then come down!" Margot smiled slyly, grabbed Josie, pulled him into the pool, and then immediately fled. She stood a short distance away, wading in the water, watching the disheveled Josie and laughing wildly.

“Very well, woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention. So, are you ready for the impending revenge?” Josie said, leaning out of the pool and looking at Margot not far away with feigned profundity.

“Revenge? Young sir, do you think you can catch me?” Margot said, feigning disdain.

Good grief, what man could tolerate such a statement?

"Don't run! Wait till I catch you and show you how small I am!" Josie "angrily" swam quickly toward Margot.

Soon, cries of alarm and pleas for mercy echoed through the courtyard, which soon turned into melodious chanting.

Compared to the cold of Chicago, Florida's warm climate made Josie and Margot reluctant to leave.

So the two decided to settle down in Palm Beach permanently and bought a piece of land to build their own resort... The previous villa was just rented.

From now on, I can come here for vacation every autumn and winter.

This is not only a pleasure, but also a very worthwhile investment.

After all, Palm Beach will be a future haven for billionaires.

Land prices in Palm Beach at this time were not cheap, but they were certainly not expensive either. Building a manor would not have been a major financial burden for Josie and Margot.

Moreover, with the Jewish gang no longer in the way, Josie's tobacco business became smooth sailing, with huge sums of money flowing in every day.

However, since the main production and sales points of tobacco are located in major northern cities, and a base has already been successfully established in New York, Josie has to frequently travel between Chicago, New York, and Miami to replenish goods and collect money along the way. The reason for not building a factory in the south is simple: it's not that they can't sell the tobacco, but the profit would be much lower. There are many states that grow tobacco, and neighboring Central American countries such as Cuba are major tobacco-producing countries, so it would be difficult to sell at a high price.

As a result, Josie had to keep her promise and spent nearly 30,000 dollars to buy a modified DC-3 as her private jet to make it easier for her to travel.

Under the management of Dix and Lyndon Schneider, the Blackwater Gang's influence spread rapidly as the smuggling of cigarettes and sugar grew.

Furthermore, the Blackwater Gang's powerful yet territorial style made them very popular with Irish gangs from all over the world. Of course, the main reason was that the Blackwater Gang left these gangs with enough profits from smuggling cigarettes and sugar.

It was through these two highly profitable businesses that Dix successfully built up a large network and reputation among Irish gangsters across the United States, and he was beginning to show signs of becoming the leader of the Irish gangs in the United States.

Seeing that the Irish mafia, which they had previously suppressed, was gradually beginning to rival them, the Italian mafia naturally felt a great threat.

The large-scale takeover of the smuggled cigarette market, which originally belonged to the Jewish gang, made them realize that the ones who targeted the Jews might not have been spies, but the mysterious Blackwater gang.

However, after several clashes, they discovered that they did not have any advantage against the revitalized Irish gang and the Blackwater gang, who were the behind-the-scenes manipulators.

In terms of bravery and fighting spirit, the Irish are in no way inferior to the Italians; they just lacked a leader and sufficient organization in the past.

But now that Dix has become the leader, and with Germans and Austrians—who are less cunning but more organized than Jews—in the middle ranks, it's much harder for the Italians to gain an advantage over the Irish.

Even if the leader and high-ranking members of the Irish gang in some place are killed.

The Blackwater gang will soon leverage its Irish heritage to support a new group of leaders and high-ranking members among its remaining members, and quickly restore its strength.

So if they want to suppress the Irish again.

The only solution is to take down that mysterious Blackwater Gang.

The problem is that the Blackwater gang doesn't occupy territory, and Lyndon Schneider's cigarette factory is semi-mobile in order to avoid the police. The Italians have no way of getting close to the Blackwater gang's business.

As for the source of goods, the address where Josie supplied the Blackwater Gang was even more unpredictable.

Who told him to have a system warehouse? Whenever supplies are needed, he can rent a warehouse anytime, anywhere, and then notify Dix to pick up the goods. Before that, even the Blackwater gang members didn't know where to pick up the goods, so how could the Italians possibly find them?

As for directly taking action against Dix, the leader of the Blackwater gang, the Mafia has tried before.

But the results of Josie's military training of the Blackwater members became apparent at this time.

Dix narrowly escaped several assassination attempts by the Mafia.

What followed was a frenzied retaliation against Italian businesses.

The entire Mafia family involved in the attack was wiped out, and their businesses suffered a devastating blow.

Most notably, all Italian Mafia gangs in Chicago were completely wiped out, and their territory was divided up by other local Italian gangs.

Chicago has returned to the Irish era of 20 years ago!

After witnessing several horrific reprisals, the Italians became fearful.

They then attempted to deal with the Blackwater Gang through official channels.

But they failed again this time.

As relatively late immigrants to the United States, Italians were few and far between in the upper and middle classes; in the past, they relied on Jewish connections to secure a place in the upper class.
