Chapter 166 Change Her Fate

"You really did it?"

"Yes."

"General Flavio personally led all the soldiers to surrender?"

"Yes."

"Only one night?"

"Actually, it can be faster, but I need to prepare flowers, so it is set at 11 noon." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Is this coercion? It shouldn't be.

General Patton was shocked, "I really can't believe it, but this is really great news. Well, I will assemble the army to issue an order now."

Patton strode out, stopped when he reached the door, turned to Jiang Hao and said, "If this matter is successful, I will honor my previous promise." After speaking, he left the room.

A smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.

General Patton has always been known for his boldness, but he would not foolishly trust Jiang Hao completely. He still sent people to observe the situation in advance. The news was that the Italian army was gathering outside Palermo, but those soldiers had No weapons.

When the news was confirmed, Patton was happy and laughed, "I didn't expect to take Palermo without a single shot. Montgomery looked down on these mafia, and they are still struggling on the South Bank, and I have won it easily. The capital of Sicily."

"The original plan was for Montgomery to take Messina and close the gates completely, and now it seems that I can complete this feat before him."

Outside Palermo, General Patton shook hands with General Flavio. Although they were opponents, respecting the opponent was respecting oneself.

"You will enjoy the treatment you deserve, I can guarantee this," Barton said.

At this time, the Italian soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the bald Italian soldiers, Patton wondered, "What about their equipment and guns."

General Flavio coughed lightly, "In order not to cause misunderstanding, we have destroyed all the guns and materials."

Barton seemed to understand something, shrugged, he didn't care about those little things, what he wanted was victory, and easily won Palermo, this is enough, he doesn't care about the rest.

When the US troops entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Palermo, with flowers, fruits and cheers. They were not like attackers, but more like warriors who returned in triumph.

Many people took out the portrait of Mussolini at home and burned it, the flag was torn apart, and people gathered in the square, chanting Mussolini to step down.

The king of Italy seemed to have heard the voice of the people. Three days later, Mussolini was dismissed, the Communist Party was declared dissolved, and the era of Mussolini passed.

Jiang Hao and Malena were sitting in the car, watching the cheering Sicilian people, and suddenly thought of a scene in the movie.

When the US military liberated the town of Syracuse, the people cheered like this, but the group of women suddenly thought of poor Malena. Malena had become a prostitute, and they didn't want to let her go. A group of women rushed into the guild hall and put Malena dragged out.

Torn her clothes, beat her face, right in the square, Malena suffered the most humiliating scene.

Malena cried out in pain, roaring at the men who flattered her in every way on weekdays, but now they are watching from the sidelines.

The next day, Malena, wrapped in a black turban, got on the train leaving the town of Syracuse and left the humiliating place.

Jiang Hao turned to look at Malena beside him. He had already changed her fate.

At this time, Malena looked out of the car with a smile, and suddenly turned her head and said to Jiang Hao, "There should be no more wars in the future."

Jiang Hao smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Yes, there will be no more wars in the future, we can live a peaceful life."

Malena hugged Jiang Hao's arm, she felt very calm at this moment, and then turned to look at the cheering crowd outside.

On the second day after Patton liberated Palermo, he announced the appointment of Renato Bernano as the interim mayor of Palermo, temporarily in charge of Palermo and all areas occupied by the US military.

For this news, the Sicilian people have no objection. Ordinary people do not know who Renato Bernano is. It doesn't matter to them who is the mayor. People with knowledge know that Renato Bernano is No one dared to object.

In this way, Jiang Hao naturally became the mayor of Palermo. After taking office, his first order was to appoint the former mayor of Palermo, Aonzo, as the deputy mayor, responsible for Palermo's urban management and warfare. After returning to work.

As for other departments, a large number of the original management personnel were also used, and their own personnel were installed at the same time. Other towns and villages also promoted many people who used to cooperate with the Mafia or even joined the Mafia as managers. , it only took a few days to stabilize the situation in Palermo.

As an official, you can have no management ability, but you must have the ability to use people.

When Jiang Hao took Malena's hand and walked into the Palermo banquet hall, he accepted the warm applause of Palermo officials.

For a time, countless people in Sicily knew the name of Renato Bernano, and Jiang Hao officially walked to the front desk.

Patton took his own troops and went to Messina. Mussolini stepped down and was imprisoned. The next two months were two months of struggle in Italy. The Allies fought against the Germans in Italy, and finally conquered Rome.

Subsequently, Italy announced that it would join the Allied powers and turned against Germany. After the end of World War II, Italy, the three Axis powers, became a victorious country instead.

This wave of God's operation,

Can you believe it.

But also because of this, Italy did not suffer as much blow as Germany after the war, and continued to live a small life stably.

Regardless, Jiang Hao was reading the newspaper in the mayor's office when Luca walked in and said, "Boss, there are many political prisoners in Sicily's prisons. They were those who opposed Mussolini and were ordered to be arrested. There are also many members of the Mafia."

Mafia members, this must be released.

"Luca, identify political prisoners, mafia members and thieves and robbers. Political prisoners are released immediately, thieves, robbers and murderers continue to be imprisoned. As for the mafia members, gather them. I want to meet them."

Enzo is 46 years old this year, and he has been detained for four years in a Sicilian prison.

In the beginning, the food in the prison was okay, but with the outbreak of the war, the food became worse and worse. Recently, many people can only receive two small pieces of hard brown bread every day. If this continues, people will starve to death.

When he was outside, Enzo was the manager of the Mafia Bernano family in Sicily. In prison, he was still the boss, and he couldn't starve him, but he didn't know how long he would continue like this.

On this day, the prison guard suddenly called them in. After identifying their identities, they took them all out. Enzo looked at these eight people. They were all his former subordinates. Are they going to execute shootings to reduce the number of prisoners? Save food for the country.

The atmosphere in the car was very depressing, no one spoke, and Enzo could only close his eyes resignedly.

It wasn't long before they were taken to a factory, surrounded by a group of men in black, all with guns in their hands. Just when Enzo thought he was going to die here, a man suddenly walked out. This man looked very familiar. .

But he dared not admit it.

The man smiled at Enzo, "Uncle Enzo, do you remember me, Renato?"
