Perhaps it was due to the jet lag or perhaps it was other reasons, Celia failed to sleep well last night.

I woke up in a bedroom on the second floor of the villa before seven o'clock in the morning.

After making a frank statement after the early morning of last night, Celia barely recognized the fact that she would cooperate with Emily, mainly because she is really too busy to do it alone now. Instead of letting her boss realize this and then stripping her powers to others, it is better to take the initiative to find an ally yourself.

However, after only chatting with Emily for more than ten minutes, a sound of dripping sounded on the girl.

This is a temporary summoner equipped by Simon's team, similar to a BP machine. A few days ago, Celia met Girl A with her once in Ohio.

When Celia watched Emily leave, she was a little sour and maliciously imagined what she would do if she was called upstairs.

Then, she continued to sit alone in the living room until after 1 o'clock, and realized that one thing was that Emily arranged the rooms in the villa, and she didn't know where her bedroom was.

August in New York is still hot, and in northern Ukraine, the temperature at night is less than 10 degrees Celsius, so you may catch a cold if you do whatever you want.

Without the permission of a little man, she did not dare to go up on the third floor. She groped and searched on the second floor for a while, and found her luggage in a bedroom, and then she rested.

After washing up, I left the bedroom, looked at the watch, and it was seven o'clock.

The villa is very quiet.

Just like last night, she was listening secretly on the bed, but unfortunately the villa was soundproof and the surroundings were quiet.

After going downstairs, I found that all those who should get up had already gotten up.

Emily is busy in the kitchen.

Celia knew that her boss did not have high requirements for food, but she was not used to strangers preparing meals for him.

Pretending to noticing that Emily was obviously still with some rosy face, Celia stepped forward to help prepare breakfast, and asked about it unintentionally, and learned that the man was going out for a run.

Humph... I definitely didn't hold on for a few minutes last night, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to run outside.

Thinking of this, I also know that I am deceiving myself.

At the top of the world's pyramid, Celia's deepest feeling is that most of the superiors have very strong energy. Whether it is the Ministry of Defense she once stayed in or the current Westeros system, there are many people who only sleep for four or five hours a day.

Celia suppressed her curiosity and refused to ask, and Emily had no intention of explaining.

However, until the man came back from running, the three of them had a simple breakfast together, and none of the six girls showed up last night.

Apparently he was still resting in the bedroom upstairs.

After breakfast, Ken Dixon, who was in charge of Simon's security, brought two other followers into the villa, carrying a special code box in his hand. Celia had also seen it and knew that only Simon could open the box.

Simon and Dixon entered a study room on the first floor, and there were two bodyguards outside the door.

Celia came to the second floor tactfully and sorted out her boss's next schedule.

Simon has to stay in Ukraine for two days. He has been to UMFS's military base yesterday. He will personally go through various layouts of the Westeros system in Rovno Prefecture today and tomorrow, including the family community that UMFS is preparing to build, some factories acquired by Komorov and some important meeting schedules.

Compared with the huge Westeros system, many industries here are actually insignificant.

Simon will stay here for three days, which shows his importance to the military layout of the Westeros system.

While looking through the planning plan of the UMFS family community, Emily walked into the living room with a pot of coffee. After she poured two cups of coffee, she sat down next to her. Celia handed Emily the information of several factories under the Aldek Company under Komorov, and said, "You can take a look at these first, and you will be responsible for explaining them to the boss in the afternoon."

Emily agreed to take it, knowing that her boss began to fulfill the tacit understanding reached by the two last night.

Putting the information on her knees and turning it opens, and seeing Celia sweeping her gaze, Emily smiled at the corner of her mouth, raised her arms, opened her five fingers with one hand, and raised her two fingers with the other hand.

This is, seven?

Celia was slightly stunned, then understood, rolled her eyes and said, "It seems that you like this very much."

Emily took back her gesture and opened the information. She obviously said that she was a little proud in her tone: "The boss wants it, but I can't refuse it."

Celia still couldn't help but said subconsciously: "Six is ​​not enough?"

Emily's slender waist swayed gently on the sofa a few times, her movements seemed unintentional, but with a faint charm, she said, "It's all little kids, I can't do anything, I can only teach you."

Celia teased: "I remember you have a boyfriend."

Emily looked up and smiled even more: "I'm already an ex-boyfriend."

Celia knew that she had made up her words when she spoke.

In any case, Emily is still single, and her apparent family situation is quite happy.

Fortunately, Celia is not the kind of woman with a very thin face. She directly ignored her words and no longer explored the ridicule of her boss last night. The topic turned to serious matters, and she might occasionally become curious, not knowing what the young man downstairs was doing at this time.

Simon is looking through detailed information about the Stefano family.

These days, through the collection of information from the Westero family intelligence team, Simon has a deeper understanding of the mafia organization "Glory Society" in the Calabria region of southern Italy.

Compared with the ‘Our Cause’ in Sicily and the ‘Camora’ in the Campania region, the glory at this stage is still far from the top mafia, and the structure and organization are loose and internal disputes are constantly occurring.

However, this is only now.

According to some trivial information in my mind, because the outspoken rafters of ‘our career’ and ‘Camora’ have been hit hard by the Italian government for many years, and they have increased and decreased. After the new century, Glory will gradually be alongside the Sicily and Campanian mafia, and will extend its tentacles to the whole world.

This is a later story.

Moreover, this time, with the interference of the Westeros system, whether Glory will still rise according to the original timeline depends on Simon's attitude.

The reason why Simon decided to launch this shock without much hesitation was because Glory will not be able to do so now. If it were the still strong ‘our career’ and ‘Camora’, he would not take action rashly.

The assassination case where a ton of explosives was buried two years ago, which bombed the famous Italian anti-black judge Giovanni Falco into the sky was done by Sicily's "our career".

However, after that incident, due to the strong rebound of media and public opinion, the Italian government has arrested thousands of gang members, including the current godfather of our cause. The assassination of Falco has thus become a turning point in the Sicilian mafia's decline from prosperity.

In fact, it can also be seen from this that the gangs are ultimately vulnerable in the face of the government's will.

High-profile is seeking death.

As for the Stefano family in the Calabria region, their strength is only medium among the six major families in power at this stage. Moreover, although the second civil war of the Glory Society ended three years ago under the mediation of other mafia forces, the two distinct factions within it did not really reconcile.

These are the elements that Simon can use.

The Stefano family made their fortunes by reselling cigarettes in the 1970s. The six brothers who initially conquered the world now have only four left, and the other two died of gangster revenge.

At this stage, if we do not consider the mistress and illegitimate son who have been secretly dug up by the Westeros family intelligence team, there are 27 people in the Stefano family, and four of the six brothers in the beginning are left. The oldest is Giorgio Stefano, 59 years old, and the youngest is Dimitri Stefano, 35 years old. The current godfather is the third-ranked Horace Stefano, who is 46 years old this year.

Since the Stefano family sent the bullets to their women and children's homes, Simon's decision was to directly evaporate the entire Stefano family.

In fact, the Italian mafia also has rules that are not as good as their family members.

However, not mentioning the mafia infighting that has been doing everything over the years, it is just that an 8-year-old boy who was thrown into a sulfate bucket in public reports. The so-called disaster is not as good as his family. In Simon's opinion, it is just a joke.

Therefore, Simon's bottom line is that there is no bottom line for dealing with these people.

In the study on the first floor of the villa, Simon and Ken Dixon discussed various matters under the authority of the personal bodyguard. According to information feedback, they directly sent a series of encrypted emails to intelligence teams across Italy through the laptop they carried with them. Finally, they sent Dixon away and had a video call with Sophia.

The city of Rifney does not have the Internet access, but Simon's security team has set up a dedicated satellite communication system in the manor.

The anonymous email address hidden in Igrit's huge email system is that the content is encrypted and registered randomly. Even if it is discovered, even if the content is deciphered due to betrayal by the insider, there will be no evidence to prove that the sender of the command is Simon, and the intelligence team is not sure who is giving instructions to them.

This shock would not have caused the entire Stefano family to evaporate directly and rudely. In fact, for this action, the Westeros system will be arranged in the Italian politics, the media and even within the gangs to ensure that the whole thing will not have unexpected sequelae.

Different layouts are naturally also under the responsibility of different teams.

All in all, all details will strictly follow Simon's 'split execution' strategy.

At nine o'clock, after dealing with the matter in Italy, Sergei Komorov had arrived. Everyone left the manor in the city center and rushed to the west of Rifny. The planned UFMS family community was there.

I returned to Rifney City last night. The sky was already dusk and I didn’t see the situation around the city clearly.

This time, the black Mercedes-Benz car was shuttled through the wide road in Rifney, and looking around, it was depressing.

In the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz sedan, Celia sat next to Simon, noticed the man's gaze and took the initiative to say: "Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the population of Rifny was about 290,000, but according to recent statistics, there were only 220,000 people left in the city, most of whom moved to the countryside, and a few fled to Western Europe through Poland."

Simon nodded slightly.

No need for more explanation from Celia, he also knows why.

Ukraine's GDP has plummeted by more than 30% in recent years. The completely collapsed domestic economy has led to serious material scarcity. In order to avoid starvation, many urban residents can only move to the countryside to become farmers in order to be self-sufficient.

It is always hard for ordinary people living in peaceful and prosperous countries to imagine why a modern civilized country still has something that seems to be too unstoppable to starve in a modern civilized country?

Especially European granaries like Ukraine not only supplied the entire Soviet Union, but also created a large amount of foreign exchange for the former Soviet Union through agricultural products exports.

In such a country, if you plant food on the land, it seems that people who are lacking in material things should not be hungry.

Russia, which occupies the world's largest territory next door, should not be like this.

So, why?

The answer is very simple.

It is the "modern civilization" that everyone subconsciously relies on to make all this happen.

As far as agriculture is concerned.

Modern agriculture is far from being backward, inefficient and self-sufficiency agricultural civilization in the feudal era, but is closely linked to the entire country's economic system, prospering and losing.

Because modern agricultural production is different from the primitive farming in ancient times, it requires a large amount of fertilizers, pesticides, machinery and other substances.

The collapse of the country, and severe inflation will first impact the industrial system, leading to factories that produce agricultural materials such as fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, etc. falling into serious losses due to currency depreciation and other reasons, and they will no longer be able to supply the entire country's agricultural production demand.

On the other hand, because of the economic collapse, agricultural production does not actually require so much material.

Because farmers can no longer afford it.

This creates a vicious cycle.
