Chapter 697 - Talk
In half a month, taking advantage of the chaos within the Glorious Society, Antonio Danieri relied on the strength he had accumulated over the years and the list left in a certain file bag to successfully take over most of the forces left behind after the disappearance of the Stefano family.
However, the godfather of the new family of the Glorious Society has never completely settled down.
Antonio Danieli did not believe that the whole thing would end with the demise of the Stefano family.
A lot of things that have happened in Italy in the last half month have clearly proved this.
Antonio Danieri, who is still quite intuitive, is clearly aware that whether it is the reaction of the political circles or the media during this time, it seems that there is a young figure behind the scenes.
As for the revelation of the inside story of the Glory Club on the Internet platform, this is even more obvious.
As we all know, the emerging Internet industry is almost the territory of the Westeros system.
The same is true for Italy.
The country's network service provider has AOL participation, and the most popular portal is the Igret version.
In order to keep up with what's going on on the Internet, Antonio Danieri, who is in his forties and doesn't like to embrace new things, has installed a computer at home.
Antonio Danieli is not too worried about the revelations on the Internet, what he cares about is that this incident is not isolated and simply happens.
I also quietly followed the movements of a young tycoon.
Entering September, various media platforms, including a large number of local Italian media Simon Westeros, the name has been mentioned frequently, because the American "Forbes" magazine is about to announce the new annual American 400 rich list in October, and everyone is curious about what Simon Westeros's latest net worth will be.
It's a big news hotspot.
However, there has been little exposure about Simon Westeros' private movements.
The most definite piece of public information that Antonio Danelli has found is the news that Simon Westeros will attend the premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" in June.
Later, there was also the news that Simon Westeros visited Ukraine last month, but it was not an official press release, and no photos were leaked, which was basically gossip.
The young supertycoon seems to be deliberately making himself invisible.
When the new Venice Film Festival opened on September 9, the paparazzi team in Italy, no less than the United Kingdom, broke the news that Westeros appeared in Venice, even if there were still no photos, Antonio Danelli instinctively realized that some things would come to an end.
Things turned out as expected.
Early in the morning, the day after the opening of the Venice Film Festival, Antonio Danieli received a phone call asking him to immediately rush to a meeting of the Honorable Society at one of its headquarters in downtown Regio.
Like other bigwigs of the Glorious Society recently, Antonio Danielly left in three cars with nine bodyguards from the mansion he had just changed a week ago, and rushed to the destination, the leaders of the remaining five major families of the Glorious Society had all arrived, and a three-story office building that was the general gang committee of the Glorious Society was crowded with guards on the inside and outside of the three floors, and even some figures in charge of lookouts stood on the roofs around them.
Even if half a month has passed, the fear in everyone's hearts has not dissipated, but has become more and more cautious.
During this time, Antonio Danieli even heard that Giuseppe Tegano, the leader of the three southern families, had hired a group of professional bodyguards to protect himself and his family tightly, which was previously only the responsibility of the younger brother of the gang.
In a conference room in the office building.
On both sides of the large conference table, there was a clear distinction between the north and south of the Glorious Society, and Antonio Danelli sat silently in the corner of the conference table, which was a kind of recognition within the Glorious Society after he recently took over the power of the Stefano family.
Of course, Antonio Danelli can also feel the scrutiny, even hostility, in the eyes of the old bigwigs around him.
Everyone understands a very simple truth.
When a conspiracy happens, the more suspicious it is that the one who gains the most in the end is also greater.
That's exactly what Antonio Danieli is.
Antonio, however, is not worried. He knew that these people around him should understand that if he had the ability to kill the entire Stefano family overnight, then he would not be resigned to this, at least, the three southern families should no longer exist by now.
The sudden demise of the Stefano family seemed to many observers to be a no-brainer, and only those in the midst of it understood how difficult it was to do it quietly.
The smart people around could probably guess that there might be something wrong with the gang.
Antonio is also not worried about being discovered.
There is no evidence.
After more than 20 years of membership in the Glorious Society, Antonio has already proven his loyalty.
At the beginning, Horace Stefano did not regard the matter of sending them to warn the CEO of Melisandre as a big deal, but only told Antonio Danieli to find a few younger brothers to go to the United States to do this, Antonio wanted to take the opportunity to go to the United States to relax, and took it personally, he was not a talkative person, and he didn't even tell his family, but just said that he would go out for a few days.
There are also people in the gang who know that Antonio left for a few days at the end of July, but this kind of thing is actually very common, and it is not easy to be reminded of the Stefano family.
Including the forces that took over the Stefano family this time, in fact, they have also been tacitly approved by several other families.
Because the situation is unknown, although the Stefano family has left a large piece of fat, for the sake of their own lives, the other families dare not rush over.
Antonio Danieli also knew how to advance and retreat, but he accepted the private drug trafficking and smuggling network of the Stefano family, and the money laundering network on the surface, he did not touch it, because he couldn't play it, and he didn't dare to take it because he was involved too much. The money laundering network has always been used by the Stefano family as a support to maintain its position within the Glorious Society, and the three southern families want to launder their black money, all of which must be handled by the Stefano family, even if it is an alliance, and the other two have always complained about it.
This time, even if a big change has occurred, if Antonio dares to swallow this part of the assets without interest, when the matter passes, the other two will definitely not give up.
As everyone sat down in the room, Giuseppe Tegano got straight to the point and said to the heart of the attendees: "Everyone should have received invitations, and besides, I've just made a few phone calls, and my colleagues in Palermo, Naples, Rome and Milan have received similar requests, now let's talk, do we need to be there?"
After Giuseppe Tegano said this, Antonio Danielli was stunned.
What invitation?
Asimodo Liberi, the elder of the Liberi family next to Antonio, noticed his doubts, turned his head and said a few words to the other side, and after a while, Quasimodo sent a delicate invitation, and when Antonio took the invitation, he also noticed that Quasimodo's smiling face showed a little contempt.
Ignoring the other party's emotions, Antonio opened the invitation and saw a striking line in Italian: Let's talk. Other than that, there is only the time and place marked in small print below, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, at the Merito Pier.
The port of Melito is south of the city of Regio and happens to be the territory of the three Liberi families in the south.
Dario Condillo, the leader of the three northern families, waited for Giuseppe Tegano to finish speaking, and continued: "I think we have to make sure first of all that this is a prank or not. ”
Giuseppe Tegano immediately retorted: "Prank, Dario, do you think someone dares to joke with the mafia of the whole of Italy." ”
Dominique Imeti, the godfather of the Imeti family in the north, said: "Maybe it's not a prank, but it's probably a trap, we must be cautious, besides, Giuseppe, haven't you found out anything, who did the Stefano family provoke, is it because your cooperation with the Colombian side is not very pleasant, they sent the army?"
Fabrizio Liberi, the godfather of the southern Liberian family, who was sitting in front of Dominic Imeti, said: "Dom, if the Colombian side sent the army, do you think they will let you go?"
Dominique Imeti did not back down and said: "We have always followed the rules in business, of course trouble will not come to the door, you may not be able to tell." ”
Hearing this, Quasimodo Liberi, who was young and vigorous next to Antonio, immediately fought back for his eldest brother: "Oh, you follow the rules, was Luca Pasotti's batch eaten by dogs three years ago?"
Dominic Imeti's face was obviously thick enough, and he said without hesitation: "It's very likely, and it is said that your family also sent a whole three boats to sea that day, who knows if it was a bunch of shit back, hahaha." ”
Seeing that an argument was about to break out in the conference room, Dario Condilo stopped: "Enough. ”
Giuseppe Tegano also spoke up to prevent the people around him from continuing to engage in verbal battles with the other side.
Back to the topic, after some discussion, it was finally decided that each family would send a representative to the appointment tomorrow, and at the end of the discussion, the other two godfathers in the south did not mean to come forward, but Giuseppe Tegano consciously or unintentionally assigned Antonio Danieli to attend in person.
Antonio Danieli probably understood why he didn't receive the invitation.
This is probably also a disguised cover.
However, he was not stupid enough to agree because he knew that there was no danger, but instead took a cautious attitude and directly rejected Giuseppe Tegano's request, saying that he would send his brother Pao Dario over tomorrow.
As soon as it dawned the next day, the Merito Marina, south of the city of Regio, was completely in full condition.
Instinctively, in order to increase some confidence, the Glorious Society gathered thousands of gangs to gather here, causing the Regio City Police Chief Theodor Nazari, who was also jumping at this time, to personally call Giuseppe Tegano, half reminding and half warning to tell the other party not to do things.
In addition to the six Glorious Society, the 'Our Cause' in Sicily, the 'Camorra' in Campania, and the mafia in Rome, Milan and other places all sent representatives, of course, all of them were considered cores, but none of them were the godfathers of the gangs.
It wasn't until nine o'clock, when the sun had risen high that the 'guests' had not yet appeared, and when many thought it would be a very unfunny prank, as many as six large helicopters descended from the sky.
The head of the helicopter formation said that each invitation could take two delegates, and then ask everyone to board the plane.
Being able to use six large transport helicopters at once alone has shocked many mafia bosses with the background of the people behind the scenes.
The gang on the dock is even more speculative.
The most powerful unofficial force in Italy that everyone can think of is probably the Agnelli family, the richest man in Italy behind the Fiat Group.
The Stefano family can't provoke this behemoth, right?
However, even the Agnelli family and the mafia basically do not interfere with the river water, even if there have been some frictions between the two sides over the years, they are basically resolved peacefully, and even many times the Agnelli family takes the initiative to avoid it.
In this way, it is unlikely that the Agnelli family will be able to do so.
So, is there anyone in this country who is stronger than the Agnelli family?
With this doubt, the deputies boarded six helicopters and flew to the sea together, looking at the figure of the helicopter formation in the distance, some mafia leaders finally gave up the idea of sending speedboats to track them.
It's best not to have extraneous branches.
When everyone on the plane speculated that they were going to the small island in the open sea, the helicopter flew for more than an hour, and a tanker appeared in everyone's field of vision.
A handful of passengers who knew the cargo could tell at a glance that this was a 100,000-ton giant oil tanker.
Perhaps ordinary people don't have too specific concepts of 100,000-ton oil tankers, but in the 90s, 100,000-ton aircraft carriers in the world were only able to reach the Nimitz-class of the United States, so you can also imagine what kind of visual impact a giant oil tanker with a length of more than 300 meters at sea is equivalent to the size of two blocks in Manhattan at a glance.
When six Soviet-made Mi-26 large transport helicopters landed on the tanker in turn, the Mi-26, which was several times the size of ordinary helicopters, lined up one after another, but occupied only a small area on the deck.
After getting off the helicopter, everyone looked at the huge ship in front of them like an artificial island, and the many guards around the deck who were obviously professional soldiers, and almost all of them were sure that the Stefano family had really provoked a big man who should not be provoked at all.
Only, who has such energy?
Could it be the President of the United States?
It's unlikely.
The red nose in the White House does not lack this kind of power, but it is absolutely impossible to make such a big move.
Then, when the delegate made his way through a long overtime work to the cockpit at the back of the tanker, the mystery was finally revealed.
The first thing Ken Dixon, who presided over the meeting in Simon's place, was, "Hello everyone, I am the spokesperson for Mr. Simon Westeros." ”
In fact, Simon himself was on top of the tanker.
However, since the 'cautious' mafia godfathers did not dare to attend in person, and only sent a group of deputies over, Simon did not plan to appear in person.
