America 1919

"No, no!"

Shapiro Bent, Ace Casas, and the delivery men all shook their heads in unison.

Donnie laughed out loud and said, "I'm just joking with you guys, I know you're all busy. So next time we make a deal, make sure you arrange everything in advance. We'll drink ourselves into oblivion in Elwood Village!"

Now that the weapons had arrived, Donnie was ready to have a serious talk with Kritch and John about dealing with Hubert Lewis.

Naturally, Donnie wouldn't let them know about that.

Upon hearing Donnie's words, Shapiro Bent, Ace Casas, and the others didn't linger any longer; they each got into their cars and slowly drove out of Elwood Village. Once they were about a hundred meters away from Elwood Village, their convoy suddenly sped up.

"Check out what brand their cars are, I've never seen that speed before!" Donnie said with a smile.

Kritch joked, "I think it might have less to do with the brand of the car and more to do with the driver!"

Donnie laughed heartily, and the group headed to Block Tavern in Elwood Village!

"300 Colt 1911s, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 Browning Machine Guns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 500 semi-automatic M1 Garand rifles, and 20,000 rounds of ammunition!"

Even though Carl already knew the amount of weapons, he was still incredibly shocked at the moment.

"No wonder the War Department didn't want you to get your hands on these things, especially those one hundred machine guns. Those are weapons that are not allowed to be bought or sold according to the Constitution!"

Although firearms can be freely traded in the United States, there are actually some restrictions. Some weapons with high lethality are not allowed for sale. In fact, this included not only those one hundred machine guns but also the five hundred semi-automatic rifles! Continue reading stories on empire

"Tell me, how do you plan to distribute these weapons?"

After expressing his astonishment, Carl asked Donnie, "The young men in the village have already started to get excited!"

Donnie said, "I'm taking 100 Colt 1911s, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 50 Browning Machine Guns, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and 200 semi-automatic M1 Garand rifles. Besides arming my logistics company, I also want to increase the firepower in Atlantic City! The rest can stay in Elwood Village.

With these weapons, unless the National Guard is used, no one should even think about entering Elwood Village!"

Carl was also happy to say, "No problem, with this batch of weapons, Elwood Village won't fear anyone anymore!"

After listening to Donnie's distribution, Carl immediately had men start distributing the supplies.

Then Carl asked Donnie, "Now that you're setting up a logistics company, do you want to bring some young men from the village with you? I heard you say that the veterans you've recruited are all coming for your money. What if they collaborate with outsiders?"

Donnie shook his head, "No need for now. The young men who went earlier are enough. Plus, I've already scattered them, so there shouldn't be any problems at the start!"

In fact, without Carl's reminder, Donnie had already thought of it himself, which was not to let these veterans form cliques.

Those from the same place, who served in the same unit during their service, will be deliberately assigned to different transport teams to prevent them from sticking together as much as possible!

"There's one more thing you should be careful about!"

Seeing that Donnie had arranged everything about that matter, Carl did not continue. Instead, he brought up another concern.

"The people in the village are getting richer, and we old folks can handle the solitude. But some of the young people have started to become wilder after making some money. They often organize trips to Atlantic City.

I've heard that several young men had taken high-interest loans there!"

Hearing this news, Donnie frowned immediately. He had thought that once people in Elwood Village had money, there would definitely be some who couldn't endure the boredom and would crave a life of pleasure and indulgence.

But what he hadn't expected was that it would happen so quickly!

"Who are they?" Donnie asked after a moment of silence.

This matter was not easy to handle, since everyone with newfound wealth would think about enjoying it.

Donnie couldn't possibly stop such things, just as the United States couldn't with Prohibition. The more it was forbidden, the more rampant it became.

At the same time, these people were from Elwood Village. If he dealt with them too harshly, it could cause panic among the villagers.

Elwood Village was Donnie's foundation, at least until the United States lifted Prohibition.

Although Canada had already started building factories, shipping goods from Canada to the United States would still be more costly!

Old Carl said, "Layton, Richards, those young lads from the Bend Family!"

Donnie said to Kritch, "After you go back, have Magichi investigate the situation, check which casinos they frequent, and find out who they owe money to!"

Kritch nodded, "Understood!"

Old Carl warned Donnie, "Donnie, you can't help out in this kind of situation. It's like a bottomless pit. If they receive your support, they will become even more brazen, and it will be harder to handle later on!"

Donnie nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not that foolish. But I also can't let these people continue like this. I will handle it!"

Old Carl nodded, "Alright then!"

After lunch in Elwood Village, Donnie and Kritch, along with the arms, returned to Atlantic City.

"Boss, now that the arms are in place, can we take on Hubert and his gang now?"

After returning to Atlantic City, Kritch asked Donnie.

If they didn't eliminate Hubert and his group, the transportation routes would always be under threat.

"Yes, we can now. Spread the word that the day after tomorrow, a large shipment will be sent to New York from Atlantic City. I believe if Hubert wants to make his move, he'll do it then!"

Kritch nodded and continued, "This time I'm planning to bring more men, and also take along three Browning Machine Guns to ensure nothing goes wrong!"

Donnie said, "Good, just follow your plan and act accordingly!"

Then Donnie reminded him, "Oh, and don't forget to let Meyer know to make his move at the same time!"

Kritch laughed, "Meyer won't be late. I learnt from John that he's always wanted to get his hands on the Newark market. Cooperating with us this time, he can at least get a third of the Newark market, so he will definitely be very proactive!"

Donnie laughed, "That's good to hear. It doesn't matter how much of the market they get, as long as we ensure we are their only source of supply!"

Kritch said, "Exactly!"
