Because Luke is the most suitable candidate, the enemy will not believe Hagen, the third son and the adopted son. The commanders of the two regiments, Clemenza and Tessio, have high positions and there is no reason to betray them. On the contrary, Luke is a well-known family number one killer, but he has no power of his own, so it is credible that he intends to rely on others by being left out in the cold, and the defection of the Corleone family killer Luke is a great temptation for any opponent. It should be said that it is the bait of the godfather.

Is Luke a brave and foolhardy man? There is no doubt that Luke's cruelty is certain without Michael's mind, but as a killer, he still has a cunning side. In a conversation, Luke pretended to be tempted and said, "However, we must understand one thing: I absolutely don't want to oppose the godfather himself." Don Corleone is a man I respect. I understand that he must put his son before me in family affairs. "

In the above paragraph, Luke did not attack the godfather because of unfair treatment, but adopted a more reasonable attitude. Of course, it must have been inspired by the godfather, but at least Luke did well.

Why did Luca finally fail? Barzini and Sollozzo are right about two things: First, Luca is unlikely to betray Vito. Luca played a terrible role in every major battle in the rise of the Corleone family. Although the old godfather intended to keep him away from the daily activities of the family, Barzini, an opponent who had been secretly observing for a long time, could not be unaware of Luca's real position in the Corleone family.

Second,? Compared with "Luca is a double agent, leaving him alive brings risks", the latter is far greater than the former. The core of bassini's plan to destroy the Corleone family is to kill the old godfather. As long as it succeeds this time, even if Luca is still an official of the Corleone family, it is just a decoration, and the risk brought by making way for joining the group may be devastating. Choosing the lesser of the two evils is the most reasonable choice, just playing along and killing Luke while he is unprepared.
