Soviet Godfather

After Nikolai Popov listened to the reports from his subordinates, the man in his fifties fell into deep thought. A week ago, his subordinates told Popov that a group of unknown people had robbed them of business at the Gorky Automobile Factory. As the largest food smuggler in Gorky City, the Popov family has been cultivating this area for two generations. It is not that no one has challenged their family's status, but the Popov family always wins.

Popov's childhood was spent in Auschwitz, Poland. Since the mustache head came to power, under the rule of the Nazi party, the poorest ethnic gypsies and the richest ethnic Jews in Europe have simultaneously become the least Popular people, the Popov family is a typical Jewish family. As long as he can remember, their family has lived in Auschwitz, which is called the factory of death. His father, Popov Sr., was a legend among the prisoners of Auschwitz at the time, because he always managed to get enough food for both father and son. On one occasion, the old Popov even got him a piece of cream cake. , that taste is something he will never forget in his life, until now he has always liked cream cakes. Probably because of God's favor, although 90% of the people who were sent to Auschwitz were killed, the Popovs and his sons who lived there for five years miraculously survived.

After Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Red Army in 1945, Popov and his son came to Gorky. The old Popov gave full play to his expertise in Auschwitz, started a food business here, and made a fortune during the 1946-1947 Soviet revolution, becoming the largest underground food smuggler at that time. The Popov family has always maintained this position. When Popov Jr. took over, the Popov family has almost become the first-tier supplier of all businessmen who do underground food smuggling business. The Popov family is low-key enough that only people in this circle will understand the strength of the Popov family and respect the status of the Popov family in this industry.

When Popov first heard that a group of people of unknown origin were working with the gangsters at the Gorky Automobile Factory to compete with him for business, he didn't take it seriously at all. He just asked his subordinates to pay more attention to this group of people and report them at any time. This was just a perfunctory statement by Popov. What he really meant was to leave them alone and deal with them when they got bigger. But the man who handled it was a serious Jew. He only carried out Popov's orders literally. He investigated the group in depth and presented a detailed business report to Popov. After reading the report, Popov couldn't sit still. The opponent's purchase cost was lower than him, but the profit was higher than him. Although the opponent's supply channels have not been investigated clearly, compared with them, the Popov family is obviously not as competitive as those guys, which hurts Nikolai Popov very much.

. . .

Yakov-Ilyich-Pogolovsky had a good time during this period. He just wandered around the hospital and the park near the hospital every day, and made friends with the old people who passed the time there, and some people who were eligible for reimbursement Old people do some deals, buy some best-selling medicines from them. There is a public telephone booth in the park, and Mikhail sometimes has a sale there, and he will call to ask him to go and pick up the goods. This job is not tiring, but earns a lot. The money earned every week is almost equivalent to half a year's wages of a worker. The income from watching the stadium back then was simply incomparable with this.

Yakov liked the job, not because of the money, but because of the GAZ 69. Yakov liked cars since he was a child, probably influenced by his father who was a worker in a car factory. He learned to drive very early, but he didn't have a driver's license because of his age. Yakov has been using this GAZ 69 most of the time since the dinner at Sergey's house. He put a lot of effort into this car, not only added a high-end interior to the car, but also put a lot of effort into power and chassis. Out of strategic needs, Russian industrial products generally have the advantages of simple structure, strong and durable.

Therefore, it is also very simple to modify, and the products of Gorky Automobile Factory also inherit this advantage. Yakov even installed a military version of the engine on the GAZ 69, which he had modified to the limit.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dark. Yakov packed up and planned to have a drink at Seryozha's house, and handed over the goods by the way. Papa Petrov's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and Mikhail has recently bought a lot of good things, especially the Beluga brand vodka and the black caviar made from Beluga sturgeon roe. The combination is absolutely perfect. The weak and resisting resistance of the caviar under the pressure of the tongue brings a special taste with unique elasticity, the intriguing, elegant and delicate breath of the caviar after it is broken, and the taste from the ocean. , are so fascinating. If I hadn't followed Brother Sergei, I wouldn't have had the chance to eat these delicacies that only big men can enjoy.

Yakov drove the gleaming golden GAZ 69 on the wide Volga River Avenue, and faintly felt that something was wrong. After turning right at a red street light, this feeling became even stronger. He saw a black Volga slowly following him through the rearview mirror, and he turned into a small alley again at the end of the road. I deliberately slowed down the speed of the car, and the car also turned in, and also reduced the speed of the car, and did not choose to overtake. Yakov confirmed his judgment even more, and he was indeed being targeted. "Who are they? The police? The KGB? Or... it shouldn't be the KGB. My own crimes can't be seen by the KGB. No matter who they are, they can't be brought to Seryozha. They have to be thrown away. "Thinking of this, Yakov increased the speed of the car, and the other side's Volga sedan also increased the speed. Yakov's GAZ 69 is a jeep after all, with a relatively high chassis and less power than the Volga. So some disadvantages. Despite Yakov's superb skills, he never got rid of the black Volga sedan.

Time is passing slowly, and Yakov, who can't get rid of it all the time, is a little anxious. Inadvertently, the car goes the wrong way and turns into an abandoned road. It is too late to turn around, Yakov can only force himself Driving forward with a scalp, the road surface has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are some potholes. Yakov was shaken in the car and felt a little nauseous, but this gave full play to the advantages of this GAZ. After all, this is an off-road vehicle. Although it is a straight road, Volga didn't work well here, and was thrown away.

Ahead is the end of the road, and Yakov became nervous. He knew what was ahead. There was a dangerous bridge with a 3-meter-long gap in the bridge deck. It was impossible to turn around. Once it was done, Yakov put the gear to the maximum, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine began to roar, and the whole car rattled. I really doubt whether this GAZ 69 will fall apart.

The car drove onto the bridge, and Yakov held the steering wheel tightly, not daring to let go of the gas pedal. At 20 meters, 10 meters, Yakov had already seen the gap, just like a car with a big mouth. The man-eating monster, it was too late to brake, Yakov yelled, closed his eyes and grabbed the steering wheel tightly, he didn't have the courage to look again. Yakov could feel himself flying up and being thrown hard on the seat. The car flew over the broken bridge without any risk, and Yakov tried hard to hold the steering wheel to stabilize the car. The car finally stopped. There was a sudden sound of brakes behind him. The Volga was not so brave. The car stopped at the break, and the people inside came out.

Yakov gave them a hard look, restarted the car, and drove away.
