Chapter 046: Reconnaissance in advance

Tips:

Evan arranged for Anna, Irina, and Natalie to share a suite, not because the three of them had to live together, but because Irina was a little reluctant.

Rather, because this suite is large enough to accommodate all the people who meet on the fly, this suite has a panoramic view of the Cathedral of Palermo, which allows Group B to monitor the situation of the church at all times.

Yang Fan observes the most "mixed" building in Palermo through a telescope, after five or six hundred years and the accumulation of people of different eras, this church has simply become a living history, full of architectural styles and historical traces of various eras.

With so many cars and visitors around the church, he couldn't understand why the mafia had chosen this place for such an important meeting.

Kevin also picked up the binoculars and looked at the situation around the traffic, and said: "The environment here is too complicated, and there are too many people around, if Marco arranges an assassination here, the pressure on our security is too great." ”

"No, it won't! They won't arrange an assassination here! ”

Ricardo also walked to the window of the suite, looked out the window, and said: "The reason why the mafia chose this place as the location of the meeting is because of one of the characteristics of the church in Palermo, which is 'integration'.

Judging from the current situation, the strength of the mafia is not as strong as before under the threat and suppression of the world's military and police, and the top leaders do not want a split within the mafia. Their choice here is also a hint that the leaders of different periods and gangs will be able to merge with each other.

Moreover, most of the mafia are religious, and they do not kill people near churches. Six days later, in the evening, the first floor of the church will be cordoned off, where the top level of the mafia will be held. ”

Evan leaned on the window, looked at this weather-beaten church, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I really hope we are here to visit this time, in the face of such a great building, we think about the possible crisis, and we can't help but be a little disappointed." ”

"I'm used to it, but I wish it was over sooner." After Yang Fan expressed his emotion, he said to Evan: "Evan, except for Anna, in addition to the three of us, let's move to the Eurostar Hotel one after another in the past few days, and try to arrange it on the same floor."

It's not the peak tourist season, so it shouldn't be difficult. We were able to go there in advance to monitor and make sure we had a smooth entry into the hotel on the day. ”

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange for you to stay in different capacities, trying not to arouse suspicion. Evan said.

Yang Fan added: "You and Parker will stay in first, and you must control all the monitoring and control systems of the hotel in advance!" ”

"Understood, leave it to me. Top dog! Parker said.

"Boss, what are we going to do today? Why don't you just stay in the hotel, why don't you start scouting the vicinity of the Eurostar Hotel? Bruce asked.

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's visit the Palermo Church today." I, Anna, Irina, and Bruce were in charge of the interior of the church.

Huzi, Han Long, Natalie, and Parker are in charge of the perimeter of the church, and the rest are in charge of the route from the church to the Eurostar Hotel.

After dinner, we gather here to assess if there is any need for additional manpower near the church. ”

Yang Fan turned to Ricardo again and said, "Ricardo, I need a list of all the people who attended the meeting that day, as well as all the information about your manpower layout, weapon configuration, vehicle arrangement, etc., the more detailed the better!" ”

"Okay, no problem. I'm going to get ready now! Ricardo left the hotel first.

The people of Group B prepared a little and left the hotel one after another to investigate their respective areas. Yang Fan and Anna, Bruce and Irina dressed up as two couples and visited the interior of the Palermo Church one after another. Others surveyed the vicinity of the church to assess the likelihood of an attack that day.

Yang Fan and Anna came to the place of the meeting that day, and the two stood at the door of the church to observe, this church has long been devoid of Norman traces, basically in the 18th century architectural style, dome paintings and various reliefs record all the changes that the church has undergone.

The church is large enough to accommodate more than 200 people, and some devout believers sit on the chairs below and pray silently.

Yang Fan and Anna also found a place to sit down. It wasn't long before Irina walked in with Bruce's arm, and they found a seat behind Yang Fan and Anna.

Irina looked around at the reliefs around the church and said seemingly casually: "It seems that the top of the mafia is indeed making peace with the Tinaro family represented by Antonio and Marco, and there seems to be no violentness here." Most of the high-ranking members of the mafia are religious, and I don't think anyone is going to fight openly here. ”

"Yes, I agree with Irina."

Bruce added: "I'm an atheist, but I also don't want to clash with my opponents here. Ricardo was right that the real battlefield should not be here.

I also looked at the map and it is about 30 km from the airport and only 3 km from Eurostar Hotel.

If Marco didn't want to offend all the top mafia leaders, he wouldn't have done it on the way to the Eurostar Hotel, probably until all the bigwigs got on the plane.

So the most likely place to clash is inside the Eurostar Hotel, or on the way from the hotel to the airport after the meeting. ”

Irina pretended to look at Bruce with admiration and said with a smile: "Eurostar is a local hotel with a high standard, with a total of 13 floors and more than 200 rooms. And business has been very good, even in the off-season of tourism, the occupancy rate is more than 70, we also occupy a few rooms, and the mafia can arrange not many people to enter the hotel.

In this sensitive period, they can't be so rampant that they directly take people into such a high-profile hotel and shoot and kill people.

So, according to my analysis, they should be like us, arrange for a small number of people to stay in the hotel in advance, find an opportunity to do something to Antonio on the day of the meeting, and then quickly evacuate before the police arrive. ”

Anna nodded and said, "If that's the case, then as long as we can ensure that Mr. Antonio can escape from the hotel smoothly, the threat behind is very small." ”

"Not necessarily!"

Chapter 046: Early Investigation (

Tips:

Yang Fan added: "The Eurostar Hotel is still about 20 kilometers away from the airport, and we have to redeploy their personnel with Ricardo to ensure that we have the best position in advance to reduce the possibility of being ambushed. ”

"Boss, you and Ricardo are dangerous inside. I think we need to arrange it in advance, and we must be able to answer you as soon as there is a conflict! Irina whispered.

"Okay, let's go back and study it carefully!" Yang Fan said.

"Alright, I'll go back with the goblins first!" Bruce walked out of the church with Irina, and Yang Fan and Anna continued to sit for a while before leaving the church.

Anna and Yang Fan walked hand in hand to the hotel, and Yang Fan found the same feeling as in Thailand before. But this time he was worried, he was very worried about Anna. In this mission, Anna's character is the most dangerous of them all.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Anna seemed to see Yang Fan's concern, leaned her head on Yang Fan's shoulder, and said softly: "The other party can only bring an assistant and a female secretary, and the manpower of both sides is equal." Don't you have faith in me? ”

"Faith?"

Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Even if you are 100% sure, I am not willing to let you take risks, not to mention that there are many unknown dangers that may occur at any time!" ”

Anna raised her head and looked at Yang Fan, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Yang Fan, this is our job. I promise you, when we're all done with our respective things, we'll quit T3 together and live a normal life! ”

"Really?" Yang Fan looked at Anna, he was extremely excited, this was the first time that Anna clearly told him that she was willing to quit T3 with him to live a normal life.

Anna didn't speak again, just nodded, leaned on Yang Fan's shoulder again, and the two of them snuggled up to each other and returned to the hotel.

After dinner, everyone gathered in Anna's suite. Each group talked about their own survey results, and the information provided by Ricardo before, everyone agreed that the church was not the best ambush point, and the possibility of the other party setting up an ambush there could be ruled out.

Kevin said, "Antonio is supposed to leave the church with Marco and head to the hotel, each with their own bodyguards.

If you start on the road, it is equivalent to a firefight, and neither side will have an absolute advantage. Moreover, this section of the road belongs to the bustling area of Sicily, which can easily attract the attention of the police.

If Marco had not been a radical, he would not have chosen to attack on this short 3-kilometer road. ”

"He won't!"

"The Eurostar is a better location," Ricardo said. Nalco is insidious, but by no means an impulsive person, which is why he is the representative of the new faction this time!

I just got information today that Marco is actually one of the shareholders of this Eurostar hotel. He hid it well, so we didn't find it before.

He may not have left the hotel immediately after meeting with Mr. Antonio, and even if he was questioned by the police, he would have reasonable reasons to explain why he was there.

So, I guess he's going to have a man in the hotel and try to get a shot at Mr. Antonio in the hotel! ”

"In that case, we should focus on the defense inside the hotel." Sokolov bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then continued: "If this is the case, our numerical disadvantage will not be so obvious.

The small space of the hotel is more able to play to our advantages. If we had planned the evacuation route in advance, it would not have been difficult to evacuate safely. ”

"The route from the hotel to the airport still can't be relaxed!"

Jason adds: "It's about 25 kilometres, there's also a coastal route and a relatively deserted highway. If Marco had been cautious enough, it would have been possible to set up an ambush in those places. ”

Ricardo smiled faintly and said quite confidently: "These places can be handed over to us, and we will arrange people to guard these places in advance!" Antonio had a man named George, who had previously served in the Italian special forces and was well aware of the Italian terrain.

Antonio handed over all his more than 200 men to his disposal, believing that he would be able to ensure the safety of the hotel and the airport. ”

"Can you make sure that George is credible?" Sokolov said.

"Absolutely!"

Ricardo said firmly: "He once made a very serious mistake in the army, and it was Mr. Antonio who saved him. Since then, he has been following Antonio and has been injured several times in order to protect Mr. Antonio. This man is absolutely credible, otherwise Antonio would not have given him all of them. ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Okay, let's focus our mission on the hotel." Starting tomorrow, we will conduct a survey of the situation in the vicinity of the Eurostar. ”

Evan continued, "I've got you covered with the hotel. Yang Fan, Kevin, Sokolov, Huzi, Natalie, Parker and I will be able to move in tomorrow, all on the 11th floor. The rest of the people can all live in the day after tomorrow, 2 rooms are on the 10th floor, and the rest are also on the 11th floor.

Also, our weapons and equipment and Yang Fan's customized equipment can be shipped in 2 days. I've contacted the miser, and he'll send someone right here, and we'll get ready here before we get started, so it's more hidden. ”

"Good."

Yang Fan said to Kevin again: "Kevin, I am still a little worried about the layout of the road between the hotel and the airport, so please do a review with George with Sokolov." ”

"No problem! Starting tomorrow, we will be mainly responsible for the survey of this route. Kevin said.

"Okay, I'll call George over tomorrow and introduce you to you!" Ricardo said.

Irina suddenly interjected, "Hey! Yang Fan. Have you forgotten that if the Eurostar Hotel is the most likely location for Marko, then our boss is the most dangerous!

At that time, there were only two people in the restaurant on the top floor, she and Mr. Ricardo, should you think about this?! ”
