He had always believed in making the most of everything, which was why those gang members and outlaws, instead of being directly shot when caught, were sent to the mines.
Signor Bronte, being such a capable person, naturally had to be put to good use as well.
He wouldn't be of much use if he stayed on his own territory, but what if he was sent to the enemy's territory?
Looking at Signor Bronte's fawning face, Dutch raised a hand to stop him from speaking.
"Signor Bronte, put away your boring flattery. You are not yet a member of our VDL Party.
The main reason I let you out this time is to give you a chance.
Signor Bronte, as a Mafia leader who has been active in the city for many years, although not suitable for major tasks, he is proficient in various rules and can maneuver connections and operations within the constraints of those rules. Although he lacks a big-picture perspective and a spirit of breaking free, he is still a truly intelligent person, far smarter than ordinary people.
And now, Signor Bronte, I will give you a chance to make a comeback.
Signor Bronte, I want you to enter eastern Washington and establish your own Italian Mafia family there. I will provide you with weapon supplies, allowing you to have your own forces.
If your loyalty is commendable, then I will give you the status of a true VDL Party member. Of course, you can also choose to break free from my control, but you will completely lose the status of a VDL Party member.
Right or wrong, you decide for yourself, Signor Bronte, but if you obey orders and are loyal, then I will allow you to open a arms trafficking channel, sell weapons in the east, expand your own territory, and become the biggest Mafia in the east!"
Mr. Van der Linde's words made Signor Bronte tremble, then become extremely excited.
Damn it, just when he thought there was no way out, a new path appeared!
Signor Bronte knew that useful people were useful everywhere!
Bronte forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart and nodded respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Van der Linde, I guarantee to complete your mission!"
As a gang boss, how could Signor Bronte not understand that he was actually just a pawn Dutch threw out to mess with other people's homes.
And the issues of allegiance or deeper games involved made him not even dare to think about them, after all, even the Morgan Family was working for Mr. Van der Linde, and Mr. Van der Linde seemed completely unconcerned.
This made him understand even more that he was just an insignificant small piece in the game between these two sides!
Mr. Van der Linde's words just now were very clear. He could rebel, but whether he rebelled or not, he could only become a parasite in the east, a parasite that corrupted the other party's foundation. The only difference was how big his role would be. So he knew that even if he rebelled, Mr. Van der Linde would not kill him for the time being.
Therefore, his trip to the east could be said to be like a dragon entering the sea, free from then on.
However, Signor Bronte felt that he had better not choose this completely free option.
First, Mr. Van der Linde's development speed was truly astonishing, and he was genuinely afraid that when the east and west went to war, the east would lose, and then he would have to be purged by Mr. Van der Linde.
Second, even though he had been in prison for a few months, he had witnessed Mr. Van der Linde's generosity and kindness, as well as the changes in the West, and he knew perfectly well who the American people would support.
He also knew perfectly well which side the final outcome of this battle would favor.
Therefore, he felt that not only could he not rebel, but he should also perform well, obtain the status of a VDL Party member as soon as possible, and perhaps later, when merits were evaluated, he might even be given a small official position.
By then, Signor Bronte would truly be whitewashed, with no worries for the future!
Most importantly, after being loyal to Dutch, Signor Bronte would truly be able to provide a temporary safe environment for his family!
Signor Bronte could have children now, and he wouldn't have to fear his children being implicated by him!
He felt that he must quickly find a woman to have a few children while he was still young, and then foster them in Saint Denis.
Even if Signor Bronte were purged by the eastern forces then, his loyal performance would still make a generous person like Mr. Van der Linde raise his children for life, and even allow his Bronte Family to begin to prosper from it!
This was Signor Bronte's greatest pursuit!
Bronte was almost having an internal orgasm thinking to himself, while Dutch on the stage didn't care about his thoughts at all.
Just as Signor Bronte thought, whether this pest betrayed him or obeyed him, he was still a parasite placed on the enemy's territory. He was not worth caring about at all; he was just an idle move by Mr. Van der Linde.
What Dutch cared about more was the matter he was about to mention.
After arranging the people below, Dutch's gaze turned to Hosea, who was standing on the other side of the balcony.
"Hosea, this next task will be up to you.
We are going to build a high-end educational institution in Saint Denis, Van der Linde University. It will cultivate advanced scholars and thus become a model of Western civilization.
In addition, we also need to build a Van der Linde Military Academy to train generals who can fight and arrange troops! This will be the most important part of our subsequent troop construction!
And this matter, I will leave it to you. I will discuss the detailed plan with you in depth.
And Sean, you follow Hosea and are responsible for handling the trivial matters he instructs."
"Okay, Dutch!" Sean nodded excitedly.
Hosea, standing to the side, had a somewhat troubled expression.
Alas, ever since the Van der Linde Gang improved, he had become the busiest person!
