Section 1406 Sicily

Sicily (English: ly; Italian: a; ​​French: le) is the largest and most densely populated island in the Mediterranean; it belongs to Italy and is located in the southwest of the Apennine Peninsula. The Strait of Messina, a satellite image of Sicily, which is only 3 kilometers wide to the east and the Apennine Peninsula. From the eighth century BC to the sixth century BC, the Greeks established colonies on the east coast of the island. It became a province of the Roman Empire in 241 BC. Later, it was ruled by the Vandals, Byzantines, and the Normans. In 1442, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Sicily. It was soon split and changed to Spanish rule. In 1861, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy. Sicily has been self-governing since May 1946. After the establishment of Europa, this place was under the rule of Europa. It is a matter of course for Americans to take a fancy to this place, but this place looks the same to you. It is hard to say whether it can be taken down. Sika is as defenseless as that.

The islands of Sicily, the Egadi ( ), Lipari ( ), Pelagia (e) and Pantelleria (a) together form an autonomous region of Italy. The capital is Palermo ( ). It is 160 kilometers (100 miles) northeast of Tunisia (North Africa). Just south is Malta. Sicily has an area of ​​25,000 square kilometers and a population of 5 million people. There are many mountains and hills in the territory, and there are plains along the coast. Many earthquakes. Mediterranean climate, wetter in the north and west and drier in the south. The highest mountain in Sicily is Mount Etna (3,323m), which is also the largest and most active volcano in Europe. The Stromboli volcano on the Stromboli island in northern Messina is also an active volcano. Agriculture is dominated by wheat, vegetables, grapes, and cotton, and there are many subtropical fruits such as citrus and lemon. The west coast has a well-developed fishery, producing sardines and tuna.

The Sicilians are a diverse people due to many centuries of contact with races of different blood and body types. Despite being at the meeting point of many civilizations in the Mediterranean, Sicily still retains many of the characteristics of a more rural area across the sea from the Italian peninsula. Most Sicilians speak a Sicilian dialect of Italian. Sometimes this dialect is also recognized as an independent language. A few speak Albanian or Greek. Most people believe in Catholicism. Overpopulation, waste, corruption, environmental pollution, water shortage, and international illegal organizations. If there is no hand party, it is estimated that this place will not be so famous, but with the help of such a criminal organization, people can become famous at home and abroad.

One feature of the insular life of Sicily was that it still had a hand. This is an organization that originated in the Middle Ages in Europe and has gradually evolved into a gang criminal organization that transcends the law. It enables parts of the island to have effectively two governments, two sets of codes of conduct and enforcement systems - one legal; the other a shadow government, an omnipresent social, economic and political web that maintains its that power. If the Americans want to occupy this place, they will not only have to face the garrison of Europa, but these hand parties will certainly not let them in so easily.

The Hand Party originally referred to local secret association criminal organizations that originated in Sicily, Italy and Corsica, France. Later, with Italian immigrants, it spread all over the world, especially the United States. Now it has become synonymous with organized crime and a popular theme in film and television works. Although they have mainly gone to the United States now, their power is still very strong in this original birthplace, and they are connected with some hand parties around the world.

For example, the U.S. military has landed this time, and the government has no news at all, but these hand-party organizations have all got the news, but they have no intention of reporting to the government, because decades of peace have made them feel that they can handle the current situation. Afterwards, the facts proved that although they were capable, they were not at the same level if they wanted to face off against the ace army of the US military.

The largest society in the world can only originate in Sicily, this is the choice of history. The term a (hand party) originates from the Sicilian uprising on March 30, 1282, the day before Easter. When a Palermo girl was raped by French soldiers on her wedding day, Sicily began a frantic revenge. They attacked every Frenchman they saw, and proposed that "a, aanela" spread all over the world with Italian immigrants. everywhere, especially the east coast of the United States. Their power in the United States rose during the Great Depression, peaked in the mid-20th century, and collapsed with a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s. Their actions include assassination, illegal trading, and obstruction of justice. Although their influence is not as good as before, they still influence the fashion culture of the United States. Many movies, TV series, and even advertisements are related to their image or life. Today, the term "hand party" does not refer only to these Italian-born criminals. Affected by this organization, in other countries in the world, similar associations named Hand Party have emerged, such as the Russian Hand Party. These elements are sometimes referred to as the local Hand Party, but the Hand Party referred to daily still refers to this group of Sicilian criminals in the United States. On the other hand, it is also Italian, but the criminal organization located in Nabō is not called the Hand Party, but has another name called "rra".

In Italy, assassinations of police prosecutors and judges by the Hand have a long history in an attempt to thwart the dynamism of the police force. In the United States, murders against state authority are rare, largely because of the fear of creating violent rebellion.

Said mob Ducky? Schultz (dutltz) was killed by his accomplices because the latter feared that he would execute against New York City Attorney Thomas? Dewey's assassination.

In the United States, the Hand Party's power took a turn for the worse in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the introduction of the Criminal Organizations Erosion of Legal Organizations Act(t) and similar laws that designated organizations affiliated with carrying out illegal activities as crime, and the government has a witness protection program. At the same time, death, marriages, a shortage of Italian immigrants to the United States, and cultural assimilation contributed to the demise of the Italian-American Mafia group. The combination of all the above factors has made the hand party in the United States decline.

In the middle of the 20th century, the Hand Party claimed to have infiltrated many trade union organizations in the United States, including the Transportation Workers Union, whose missing president Jimmy? Hoffa (ffa) is believed to have been assassinated by the Hand. In the 1980s, the U.S. federal government made up its mind and succeeded in removing the Hands from trade unions.

Evidence suggests that in Italy, through stronger laws and the dismantling of the "law of silence" (f die e), tough enforcement appears to have finally gained the upper hand over rival party groups. During the confrontation with the Hand Party's military forces, many so-called (members of the Free Hand Party who received leniency) made great contributions to the government, such as Domaso? Busceda (etta).

The hand party is said to retain a strong financial clout. As a result, recent investigations often examine the economic activities of suspicious elements. In recent decades, it has been speculated that a Na, one of the most prominent figures with ties to the Hand, ordered the murder of judges Ne and Na.

Recently, former Italian Prime Minister Giulio? Andreotti, a member of Italy's Catholic Democratic Party, was charged with ties to the Hand party, but he was eventually acquitted because the trial involved conduct beyond the statute of limitations. But what is going on, only he knows clearly. It can be said that if some senior officials in Italy did not have the support of the Hand Party, he would definitely not be able to sit securely in his seat. They all have their shadows. Of course, they are most famous for their killer organization. Even the largest society like Hongmen always lags behind when encountering their killer organization.

The assassins of the Hand Party have a very strict hierarchy, and their classification depends on the stars in front of them. The stars are made of four metals: gold, silver, copper, and iron. The grades are lowered in order. The gold star represents the highest level, and the iron star represents the lowest level. Ordinary killers will only wear a piece of clothing with a mafia logo. stars. It is said that there is also a killer at the top of the hand party, the most powerful in the organization, their stars are made of natural crystals, and they often give people a black handprint when they act.

The killer's assassination must be approved by the head of the family, otherwise the murderer's revenge may trigger a war. In the case of war, the family killers would go to "chuáng mats," renting empty apartments, and let the soldiers take turns resting on the chuáng mats on the floor of the apartment while the rest of the watchmen stood by the windows, Always be ready to fire on rival family members within range.

Organizations like the Handa have existed in Italy for centuries, and they differ in different regions. Until the 1950s, the Italian Hand was mainly concentrated in the rural countryside, but since then it has spread to the cities and has since become a more international organization that concentrates various criminal activities. The Italian Hand Party takes the family as the unit, mainly represented by Sicily. There are other similar organizations in other regions, such as the Camorra in Naples, etc.

During the fascist dictatorship in Italy, the mayor of Palermo, Cesare? Morrie and the rest of the Hand Party suddenly became worthy patriots in America's fight against fascism. A new American citizen, Luciano accepted the government's apology and was able to return to Sicily in 1946 to continue his activities.

It was not until the surrender of Italy in World War II that the hand party's power was able to grow. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, in a series of "gang wars" between the Freedom factions, many prominent Freedom members were murdered. Among the members of the New Generation Hand Party, many people tend to focus their work on high-IQ crimes, while dismissing traditional extortion. In reaction to this development, the Italian press has used "va" to refer to the organization thus restructured.

Although the government's crackdown has never stopped, they still haven't disappeared. Compared with the organizations in the United States, everything here is very organized. Although the money is not as much as that in the United States, here, their The strength is even stronger, and several more courageous research organizations have said that among the ten people here, there must be one person who is a direct member, and the other nine people are more or less related to them.

"General, all our people have landed, and there is no leak." The staff officer came over and said to Commander Lauger. They would also think that someone might find them, but they have been here for such a long time. No one came to ask, tens of thousands of troops just arrived on other people's land. It might be unbelievable to say it, but everything in front of us has come true. In fact, this is all thanks to the local hands. They After getting the news from the organizations in the United States, they blocked this place. You must know that their power is similar to that of the government. Sometimes they can do things that the government can't do. This place is not bad. There are many people on the beach, and the government cannot forcibly expel them. Even if they want to block it, there must be a reason, but they can. The guns in their hands are the biggest reason, and there is no need Explain anything to anyone, they are the biggest.

"Hehe, you idiots, of course nothing leaked out. It seems that our friends are coming too. This time we were able to land so well, they made a lot of effort." A helicopter took off from a warship in the distance, and on it was the spokesperson of the Gambino family in the United States. It was also he who had contacted the hand party here before, and everything is here today. This person can be said to be among the top American But very face-saving.

Speaking of the Gambino family, this is what the common people know. The Gambino family is the oldest family in New York history and one of the five major societies. Under the U.S. government's crackdown on organized crime, New York's Big Five families have fallen apart. Currently, the "Godfathers" of the other four major associations are serving their sentences in prison, and the former "Godfather" John of the Gambino family? Gotti was sentenced to life in prison for murder and fraud as early as 1992, and died of cancer in prison in 2002.

In 2002, 17 members of the Gambino family were arrested by the police, including the family's "godfather" Peter? Gotti and his brother Richard ? Gotti. The Gambino family has been severely damaged after several times of siege by the police, and this action has once again severely damaged the new power layer that the Gambino family has just formed.

But is this really the case? That's absolutely not the case. If this was the case, the Gambino in front of him would not have appeared. The real situation is that the Gambino family selected dozens of unlucky guys from their tens of thousands of troops and handed them over to the police. And in the cooperation with the police, several other families that competed with him were wiped out in one fell swoop. Although everyone is an organization, there is friction in the exchange of interests. The best way to eliminate friction is to eliminate it with you Now, so that there will be no friction in the future, so now the Gambino family is the most powerful society in New York and even the entire eastern United States. Their power is almost comparable to several big societies in the world. Even Hong The leaders in the United States also had to give them more face, just like Li Cong's partner Qin Wuye back then.

"General Lauger, how about it? Even if our Gambino family has left the United States, we still have our own strength, right? Look at this quiet beach. If you follow the meaning of your staff headquarters, you may have been exposed by now. , but these things are entrusted to us, there is absolutely no problem." The guy from the Gambino family said arrogantly, as if he had done everything by himself, and the people in these societies were originally surrounded by the army , at least few people in the army can look up to them, there is such a place where the army can show their abilities, how can they not show off?

"That's right, Mr. Gambino. I think your interviewer should have appeared at this time. There is no movement yet. Are we here to see the scenery? My First Division is not an ordinary army. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of people is an astonishing number, I can guarantee that the money you spend in business for a day will definitely not be able to support the operation of my army for a day." Master Lauger is a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, of course he clearly obeys Command is the first job of a soldier, otherwise this guy would not condescend to cooperate with these community members. This is also the decision of the above. Now that they have successfully landed, if they want to drive the first division down, there is probably no one It is impossible for an army of hundreds of thousands. In more than half an hour, his army has established a complete beach defense position.

"Of course, they will show up. It's just that I'm still waiting for news, news from New York." Gambino stopped talking after finishing speaking. There is no news from New York yet. The family can only live without seeing the sun, but the patriarch of this generation thought of a terrible idea, that is, like the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest society in Japan, he wanted to establish a company recognized by the government, which made the top leaders of the United States anxious. You must know that democracy in the United States is not just talking about it, it may be because any beggar's vote may cause the president to step down.

The Gambino family's helping the first division land in Sicily, Italy this time is like betraying their ancestors. For the sake of huge benefits, the US government has already expressed that they can agree to their request, but they are asked to be gentler in their actions in the future. But the Gambino family made another request, that is, they want to get the Golden Crescent, one of the world's three major drug sanctuaries, which is also the only one controlled by the Skull and Bones.

The "Golden Crescent" is located at the junction of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. It is called the "Golden Crescent" because the terrain is similar to a crescent moon and it is rich in highly profitable things, including Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province and Balochistan. , Iran's Sistan - Baluchistan Province, Afghanistan's Registan and Nuristan and other regions.

The "Golden Crescent" area is sparsely populated, with inconvenient transportation and a dry climate. The Patan and Baluchi people, known for their martial arts and aggressiveness, are mainly inhabited. For a long time, they maintained their traditional national style and personality, and they traveled relatively freely in the border areas of the three countries. The governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran have not implemented effective administrative management over it, making this region a major producer of ya tablets in the world. In 1984, Ziahak, the head of the Pakistani government, promulgated martial law and adopted an iron fist, causing the production of ya tablets to drop from 800 tons in 1978 to 45 tons. However, after 1985, due to the implementation of "civilian politics" by the Pakistani government, the anti-drug measures began to relax. As a result, in 1986, the output of ya tablets soared to 145 tons. The production of slices has exceeded 200 tons, and the hard plastic planting area is 1038 hectares. The ya tablet products of Laos were not originally included in the "budget" of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, but since 1986, Laos has also had to impress the world, because the output of ya tablets in Laos was close to 120 tons that year. As a result, on the ancient Islamic plank road of the "Golden Crescent" and in the vast desert, caravans of drug dealers came in an endless stream. These camel caravans continuously imported ya tablets and heroin into Eurasia.

In recent years, the drug trend of "Golden Crescent" is almost all-round attack. These drug soldiers are divided into three routes: one is from the south via Pakistan and India, and flows to Japan and North America; the other is from the west via Iran and other coastal countries and Turkey, and flows to Western Europe; the third is from the north via Tajikistan and Uzbekistan And Turkmenistan and other Central Asian countries, flow to Russia and Eastern Europe. Randi, a plank road town located among the mountains on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan? Gaotu is almost the starting point of the "Golden Crescent" drug flow to the world.

Hain exported from the "Golden Crescent" to the UK and Western Europe once occupied about 90% of the market. Therefore, the "Golden Crescent" has become a veritable "Crescent" and is gradually rising. What's more worth mentioning is that the purity of the honey produced by "Golden Crescent" is almost over 80%. Such a genuine "famous brand" can naturally come from behind in the competition of world drug trade.

"Golden Crescent" has become the "new generation" of the world's poison source. But what most people in the world don't know is who controls this place. In the past, most people thought that this place was controlled by some large associations or local armed forces like other places, but how did these forces It may be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the government army. Besides, this place is an absolute cornucopia. It is normal for such a place to bring in hundreds of billions of dollars in income every year. The Gambino family drove out this price. Also because they feel that Sicily is worth the price.

It is estimated that 60 tons of sea nuts can be extracted from only the ya chips collected from secret sources in Afghanistan every year. Due to the unique geographical advantages here, the drugs produced here can easily be transported to Europe. Therefore, the share of drugs in this region in Europe once reached more than 90%. Another significant advantage of the products in this region is that the purity of the mandarin produced here is extremely high, almost all of which can reach more than 80%, which is unmatched by the Golden Triangle.

At the end of the 1970s, due to the drought, the ya film harvest in the "Golden Triangle" region of Southeast Asia failed. At this time, the growers of the "Golden Crescent" seized the good opportunity of rising drug prices, expanded the planting area, and entered the traditional overseas markets of the "Golden Triangle". It is an important production base of the world's ya film dubs that have risen after the "Golden Triangle".

In 1981, the output of ya flakes in the "Golden Crescent" region reached more than 800 tons, twice the total output of the "Golden Triangle" and Mexico that year. However, since 1986, the production of ya slices in the "Golden Triangle" has recovered rapidly, and the output has increased sharply, once again replacing the "Golden Crescent" as the world's number one producer of hainan. Nevertheless, the production of "Golden Crescent" still developed rapidly, maintaining its position as the second place in the production of ya films and Hain. "The drug economic circle has risen again, making it replace the "Golden Triangle" and become the world's largest producer of drug-related drugs.

The planting area of ​​"Golden Crescent" is about 110,000 hectares, and the annual output of ya slices has been maintained at between 3,000 tons and 4,000 tons. According to statistics from the United Nations, in 2003, the output of "Golden Crescent" ya flakes reached 3,600 tons, and it is expected to exceed 4,000 tons in 2004. In addition to producing ya tablets and narcotics, it also produces marijuana and cocaine. In addition, it is the gateway to Europe and the United States. From Turkey, Pakistan and Iran, drugs can be shipped to Europe and the United States. The "Golden Crescent" has now become a link and a land bridge connecting Europe and Asia for drug trade.

Moreover, the climate and other conditions here are also very good. The Golden Crescent area is sparsely populated, with inconvenient transportation and a dry climate. The Patan and Baluchi people who are known for their martial arts and aggressiveness are mainly inhabited. For a long time, they maintained their traditional national style and personality, and they traveled relatively freely in the border areas of the three countries. The governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran have not implemented effective administrative management over it, making this region a major producer of ya tablets in the world.

Compared with the Golden Triangle and other places, the Golden Crescent region planted ya flakes later, mainly planting hemp and yam millet. However, in recent years, the Golden Crescent has replaced the Golden Triangle as the world's largest ya flake producing area. Its poppy planting area is nearly 110,000 hectares, with an annual production of 4,000 tons. The total output of ya flakes in the Golden Crescent region reached 4,600 tons, accounting for 75% of the world's total output. It was the world's largest ya flake producing area at that time.

Afghanistan, located in the heart of the Golden Crescent, is one of the world's largest millet growers. Due to its turbulent domestic situation and the fierce and martial customs of Afghan residents, the planting area of ​​yam is very extensive in Afghanistan. Most of the provinces in the country have yam planting, and the yyyy planting area reaches 58,000 hectares. Afghanistan has become the world's largest producer of ya tablets. Iran's millet planting area is also relatively large.

It can be said that choosing this place is much better than that of the Golden Triangle. Asia under the control of the energy embargo is becoming more and more perfect. Such a huge cancer is obviously not in line with Li Cong's ideas. It will be erased sooner or later. The war-torn Golden Crescent will definitely become the largest production place again. If the Gambino family can get here, then they can surpass several large societies, or take advantage of this Dongfeng to become the world's number one society. It’s not certain, but Hongmen started its business by relying on the Golden Triangle. These are all examples that can be used for reference.

When Mr. Gambino in Sicily received the call, he also glanced in horror at General Lauger who raised his gun towards him. This guy actually wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge. They wanted to kill him. At the same time, with the cooperation of New York and the police, the entire Gambino family was greatly suppressed. They didn't understand what was going on. A few days ago, the authorities said that they would be legalized soon, but At this moment they were hit with a devastating blow.

"Sorry, Mr. Gambino, I am very happy to tell you that your mission has been completed. I know that you have the most advanced communication equipment on your body, so I can't do it first. The New York side has already finished, so now I'm going to do it, goodbye, I hope you will be happy when you see your godfather down there." After speaking, the guy shot, and he didn't have any trouble with betraying the members of these hand gangs. The crime is heinous, and there is no psychological burden to send them on the road by themselves, even though the people on their side betrayed them.

In fact, the whole matter has been hidden from all the investigation methods of the energy group, but after these incidents occurred in New York, the people of the energy group finally found out a series of things. At this moment, Li Er has obtained this secret in a secret place, Li Er is really impressed by the ambition of the Americans. They actually want a place as huge as Sicily. Not to mention anything else, there are millions of people on it. It is very easy for you to occupy it, but if you really want to take it, This is not so simple.

"Father, I just got a piece of news, which can be confirmed. The most elite troops of the U.S. Army have landed in Sicily. Will there be any changes on your side? Can I send troops to support?" Li Er immediately gave His father called, it was no joke, Li Er wouldn't be so nervous if there were some rubbish troops, who has never heard of the name of the first division, their fighting power is amazing.

"I also feel strange why the Fifth Fleet seems to have disappeared after cooperating with us. It seems that there is a problem with our satellites. Now let the Ministry of Science and Technology double the number of satellites. In addition, in terms of detection software Give me a boost, this situation must never happen again, we have lost the opportunity in Sicily, now we have to give them some color, this Sicily is not so easy to take down, Skull and Bones There is nothing wrong with some people getting rid of the Gambino family, but it is still too early for them to do it, you prepare a large number of weapons and equipment, we have to cooperate with these people this time." Li Cong finished speaking I just hung up the phone. Both father and son are smart people. There are many things that don’t need to be explained. Li Cong’s method is to let people from the Hand Party fight with the First Division of the United States. Of course, Li Cong will not naively think that the people from the Hand Party The first division can be blocked, but relying on the local people's advantage, it is no problem for them to make trouble for them.

After Li Cong hung up the phone, he immediately found No. 1. Now that the situation is urgent, he has to send his capable generals.

"You go to Sicily. The situation over there is a bit complicated now. If we don't intervene, the first division can probably take it down in two days. Even if we want to act now, it is probably too late. I have already Tell the headquarters about this matter, they will send arms there, what you have to do is to help the hand party to pull up a team, so that it is not so easy for the Americans to take Sicily, if the Americans really take It is very beneficial for the whole of Italy to go there, don't forget that the Allied forces also landed in this place during World War II." Li Cong looked at the map and said that he originally wanted to go to Siolus, Now it seems that I don't have that time anymore. Now my biggest enemy in Europe may be this First Division, and the others can be released later. As for the SAS, I have to come step by step. When he arrived, everything about him was disrupted.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not let the First Division take Sicily so easily." After finishing speaking on the 1st, he went out. Li Cong was very relieved when he was doing things. If it wasn't for the last moment, it would be impossible to dispatch him of.

"Sir, what does it mean for the Americans to be involved at this time?" Karelina is not sure what the Americans mean at this time, and it is not a good idea to be involved now, although Europa is now in chaos time, but they have millions of troops after all, and Sicily is still different from Corsica, which is very important to the whole of Europa, and there is basically no distance between Sicily and the Italian peninsula. The distance between Corsica and the Europa continent is not small.

"Hehe, what else can we do? They are jealous. Seeing our development in the world, they are afraid, but it is unwise for them to choose this time to make a move. Europa can allow us to do it, and if the Americans are allowed to do it, then They have become a second-rate organization. If any organization can cede their territory, it is estimated that the government of Europa will be finished in two days. We only need to buy time for Europa. In addition, we can secretly tell Europa that By the way, our fleet can be shut down in Corsica, and our cooperation with the Fifth Fleet ends here. This is the era of the Three Kingdoms, and it only depends on who can benefit more." Li Cong said with a smile, the two-sided thing Not only can your enemies do it, but you can do it yourself too. ! .
