Chapter 1108: Rolling Forward (2)
Italy, Regio Calabria.
In the quiet of the port late at night, Antonio Danieli took a big puff of his cigarette until a freighter slowly approached the dock, then he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and greeted him with a group of minions.
Giovanni Danelli, the third eldest member of the Danili family, jumped off the board of the boat first, smiled and hugged the eldest brother, but felt the strong smell of tobacco on his brother's body, and couldn't help but persuade: "Anton, you should smoke less." ”x
Antonio just patted his brother on the shoulder: "How much did you bring this time?"
"Five tons," Giovanni said, seeing that the eldest brother had already walked to the board, he had to follow, "In addition, I also met the Ukrainian Boris Orlevich in Albania, who recently opened a planting base in the mountains south of Fararo. ”
Albania is located directly west of southern Italy, across the sea, and the closest distance between the two countries is only 80 kilometers.
As a former Warsaw Pact ally of the Soviet Union, Albania is arguably one of the poorest countries in Europe, and its economy has been further weakened by the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the past few years. Poor and short-lived, and conveniently located on the Mediterranean coast, Albanian gangs have risen rapidly over the years.
These are still on the second side.
What the three Danili brothers could not ignore the most was the rapid entrenchment of the Rivne gang in Albania in Ukraine. Although this makes the cooperation between the two sides in drugs, arms and other aspects more convenient, such a close distance, in Antonio Danieri's view, is a deliberate arrangement of a supertycoon.
Although the three Danieli brothers have long since accepted their puppet status, someone is obviously still saying, I am still staring at you!
Hearing his brother say a certain name, Antonio paused for a moment, and quickly continued to walk, asking, "How many people do you think there are over there?"
Giovanni understood what his brother meant, and subconsciously looked around, before shaking his head slightly, and whispered: "I can't judge, but one thing is certain, the people they gathered, well, like those two years ago, most of them are veterans, and they kill people without blinking." ”
Antonio fell silent when he heard this.
Giovanni didn't think so much, hesitated, and said: "Anton, it's actually nothing, as long as we don't betray ...... That person, it's fine, and we didn't think about betraying, did we?"
Antonio nodded almost subconsciously this time.
So said this, the brothers came to the ship together, and the younger brothers who had just followed Antonio were all on guard in an orderly manner, except for the two who followed closely with their boss, and if there were connoisseurs here, it was easy to tell that these people had received some special training.
Truly.
In the past two years, these subordinates have been called to Eastern Europe and received a lot of professional training.
This also made the three Danieli brothers even more trembling.
Because a fool can guess that among these people, there must be people who have been co-opted over there, and even, if these leaders have different intentions, perhaps, overnight, someone will replace them.
It's been more than two years since something happened.
Reggio Calabria, a small city in southern Italy, has undergone a lot of changes in just over two years.
After the Stefano family collapsed overnight, and then received a warning from Simon Westeros, the entire Glorious Society system can be said to have been rumored for a long time, and it is very worried that its own family will be killed overnight.
However, when things gradually calmed down, someone eventually became restless again.
In particular, some forces that were close to the Stefano family and even had a relationship by marriage, even if they could not privately go across the ocean to fight against the growing Westeros system, it was not a problem to poke things out, and it was impossible for the Italian government and even the international community to remain indifferent to the killing of dozens of citizens overnight.
It's just that the operation of some people has just begun, and the nightmare has struck again.
Although it was not as drastic as the Stefano family was cut down, the six leaders of the other two Glorious Society forces died violently again overnight, making everyone realize that the shadow of Simon Westeros has not disappeared from this land.
On the other hand, the Italian government has also been lukewarm about the Stefano family's massacre, with most news reports characterizing it as a gang vendetta.
During this period, a young prosecutor with a full sense of justice said on local television that he should launch an investigation into the matter, and directly hinted that there was a super-tycoon behind the incident, which was obviously an insider. As a result, the young prosecutor was removed from his post the next day and subsequently attacked by the media, saying that the Italian justice system should pursue gangster abuses rather than protect them.
At that time, the violent incident of Giovanni Falco being killed by the mafia with a ton of explosives was still vivid, and the ordinary people were more applauded about what happened to the Stefano family.
In any case, in the dark underworld, nothing has changed.
In just over two years, the brothers of the Danieli family, who were once attached to the Stefano family, not only took over all the forces of the Stefano family, but also subsequently eliminated some of Regio's other opponents, and quickly grew into one of the most powerful gangs in southern Italy.
In this process, of course, there are also people who suspect the three Danieli brothers.
It's a pity that in the face of absolute strength, others can only be silenced, and even because of the rapid rise of the three Danieli brothers, they have to take the initiative to seek cooperation.
With the secret support of the Westeros system, although the roots are still in the remote areas of southern Italy, the three Danieli brothers have extended their influence to all parts of Italy, and even France, Germany, England, and Spain, and branches of the Glorious Society have appeared.
At the same time, this part of the Western European underground forces, and the other Eastern European underground forces, which are based in Ukraine and also controlled by the Westeros system, are becoming more and more closely connected, and the forces are gradually covering the whole of Europe.
Ukraine, the city of Rivni.
In mid-March, the weather is no longer so cold, and the city is starting to rejuvenate after a short hibernation.
Sergei Komorov walked through the resettlement communities in the northeast of the city, which had just been reopened in early March, and in the afternoon he participated in a meeting of the city government as a business representative to discuss the upcoming population control bill in Rivni.
The population of this border region in northwestern Ukraine has rapidly surpassed 1 million, a fivefold increase from two years ago.
Although it is still far from the 3 million population of the capital Kyiv, even if the economic expansion of Rivni in the past two years has been miraculous, such a large influx of people has begun to incope for a while.
Therefore, restrictions must be made.
In the future, the city of Rivni will control the inflow of people through residence permits and other forms, so as to put in as many people as possible and absorb only young and strong labor as much as possible.
Despite these restrictions, the Rivneau Gang as a whole was excited that Rivni could become a city with a population of one million.
Of course, no one will ignore that the foundation that supports all this is still one word, money.
After the merger of East and West Germany, in just a few years, the former West Germany was like East Germany, which smashed into hundreds of billions of dollars, which stimulated the rapid economic recovery of the former East Germany. Similarly, the Westeros system has almost spared no effort to throw money at Rivne in the past two years, coupled with the strong control of the region by the rapidly formed Rivne Gang, which has avoided the waste of resources and used all the funds to the best of their ability, so it has also created a miracle of development in this region.
Now in Rivni City, companies such as Nokia, Cisco, Tinkobar, Melisandre and other companies under the Westeros system, as well as world-class enterprises such as Dell, Mars and IKEA under the Westeros system, have set up factories here, plus the furniture, toys, food, wine, building materials, breeding and other companies involved in the Rivnor system, which have created more than 300,000 long-term employment opportunities.
And that's not even counting the work of these companies in terms of peripheral chains, service industries, and municipal infrastructure.
For Ukraine, where the economy is sluggish, and the unemployment rate in most areas is even as high as 30%, a job opportunity is enough to feed a family. Therefore, the current Rivni can be said to be the best destination for Ukrainians except for smuggling into Western Europe.
Therefore, the news of the imminent restriction of the inflow of people into Rivni paid strong attention even to the Kiev authorities.
After all, everyone understands how important a large number of job opportunities are to maintain the stability of society. Although Rivni can only cover one-fiftieth of the country's population, a country itself is actually accommodating enough, and Rivni is completely an extra 'accident'. A straw can crush a camel, but the reverse is true.
Therefore, this part of the accident is very important for buffering the internal contradictions of this country.
Chechnya, Grozny.
After the armistice was signed last year, the city remains devastated.
Nils Vijko, a 27-year-old Frenchman, arrived in the war-torn city with his girlfriend Isabel three days ago with a French humanitarian aid organization.
At the beginning of this year, after receiving a large donation, Nils's organization began to continue to provide relief to the war-torn areas of Eastern Europe, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Chechnya, and at the same time lobbied the French government with some other humanitarian groups.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the French government formally adopted a proposal in early March to accept 10,000 refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Chechnya.
