Gunfire echoed as blood spilled onto the long street.
Passersby screamed and scattered in panic.
Faced with intense firepower, seven or eight members of the Jewish mob, including their leader and boss, fell into a pool of blood before they could even draw their guns.
Meanwhile, Dix and his men emptied two magazines and quickly left the scene without looking back.
The whole process lasted less than two minutes.
It was only after they left for over ten minutes that the police, who had just received the news, arrived at the scene.
They only had two cars and four or five people.
However, this was not due to the Chicago police's negligence but because, during the same period, there were attacks in more than ten places in the area, all of which were important strongholds of the Jewish mob.
The only difference was that the attacks in other places were not as intense as here. At most, they used submachine guns, unlike here, where they even used machine guns.
At this point, Dix and his team had already arrived at an unmanned pier. All the guns they used and the remaining shell casings were collected and taken to a ship that had been waiting for them.
Then someone drove the boat to deep water and threw all the weapons into the water.
At the same time, some of Dix's men quickly changed the license plates of several cars and left in different directions. These cars would be taken to different repair shops, repainted with different colors, and leave no traces.
Dix then got into another car parked at the pier with Goss.
"How do you feel?" Dix took two bottles of whiskey from the car's trunk, opened one, handed it to Goss, and then asked.
"...It's shocking...I've only seen scenes like this in the newspapers, and I'm not used to it!" Goss took the whiskey and drank it down, saying.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it later, my good brother. Let's work together. The entire underground world of Chicago will be ours in the future!" Dix laughed and patted Goss' shoulder.
Goss took another sip of whiskey, feeling shocked but also enjoying the feeling.
Chicago's situation seemed like a signal.
In the following days, several Jewish mob bosses in New York were assassinated, and the attackers were well-trained.
In Atlantic City, two local Jewish mob bosses and their men were wiped out in the middle of the night.
In Los Angeles, one of the most famous Jewish gangsters of the day, Benjamin Siegel, was sniped from a distance.
In San Francisco, the home of a local Jewish mob boss was set on fire.
One Jewish mob heavyweight after another was attacked, quickly attracting the Italian Mafia's and the authorities attention.
The reason for the Mafia's attention was simple since the establishment of the Commission by Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky, the Italian Mafia, and the Jewish mob had begun to cooperate closely.
Many Jews served as advisers to Italians.
When their partners were attacked, they naturally could not ignore it.
As for the authorities, they could not turn a blind eye to so many deaths in broad daylight.
Moreover, many of them were already in collusion with the Jewish mob.
After a preliminary investigation, they quickly discovered a key point; all the attacked or assassinated Jewish mob members had extremely close relationships with Meyer Lansky, the most famous Jewish mob boss in the United States.
To put it bluntly, those who died were Lansky's confidants or his friends.
In other words, the attacker's force might have a grudge against Meyer Lansky.
However, this alone was not enough to pinpoint the culprits.
After all, as the largest Jewish mob boss in the United States, Meyer Lansky had countless enemies.
But judging from the fact that the attackers were well-trained and had an obvious European military style, their actions were disciplined, rapid, and completely like soldiers or agents. The Mafia and the authorities both suspected the operatives of Hitler and the Hydra.
As for the hatred, it's quite simple. During the time when the Silver Shirts organization was causing trouble in the United States, with the official push behind the scenes, it was Meyer Lansky who organized a large number of Jewish gang members to engage in fierce battles with the Silver Shirts.
And they didn't even use guns, relying only on fists and gaze to beat the Silver Shirts to the point where they did not dare to go out.
At the same time, during this process, Meyer Lansky also helped the FBI solve many cases of German and Hydra spies.
Therefore, to some extent, Meyer Lansky was a thorn in the eye of German or Hydra intelligence organizations.
So at this time, whether it was the Italian Mafia or the FBI responsible for this case, they couldn't think that this series of cases was just a planned gang revenge.
Because the number of personnel involved was too large and too scattered, the territory, goods, money, and so on belonging to the Jewish gang that was attacked were not touched at all.
This simply did not conform to the style of a normal gang fight.
In the face of this situation, the Italians were very taciturn and did not show any extreme behavior; they only silently began to accept those unowned territories.
The FBI began to heavily investigate recent incoming personnel from Europe.
This search really dug up quite a few spies.
However, the series of attacks was not completely over.
Because Meyer Lansky, who should have been the focus of the series of cases, was ignored.
It's not that he was ignored.
Mainly because when this series of attacks occurred, Meyer Lansky was not in the United States at all but in Havana, Cuba.
Cuba, during this period, was still under military rule.
The American gangsters acted wantonly in Cuba through bribery.
And Meyer Lansky was one of the main leaders.
So he spent nearly half of his time in Havana every year.
However, after the series of attacks in the United States reached Cuba, Meyer Lansky, as the boss, naturally could not stay in Cuba safely. He immediately set off and prepared to return to Miami by yacht.
Although the civil aviation industry in the United States developed rapidly, it was mainly limited to domestic flights. The only international route was the Boeing 314 to the UK, and a small number of routes to Canada.
Although Cuba was very close to the United States, there was no airline because of its unstable political situation.
Traveling between Cuba and the United States could only be done by boat.
Fortunately, Havana was not far from Miami, less than 400 kilometers, and it only took half a day to take a scheduled ship.
When Meyer Lansky arrived in Miami, his subordinates had already opened their cars and were waiting at the dock.
As the highest leader of the Jewish gang, his level of protection was naturally very high. Four or five cars, twenty or thirty subordinates, guarded him tightly.
However, just then, a Ford truck carrying hay passed by from not far away, revealing its fierce face.
As the hay on the back of the truck was lifted, a big killer was exposed in the sight of Meyer Lansky and his subordinates.
This was a bigger killer than the M1985 used by Dix in Chicago...the M1919!
