The deaths from the explosion in London were too... sensitive.
It also triggered a series of chain reactions.
The death of Camorra leader, nicknamed "Head Tiger," Francesco Petrarca set off a good one—over 230 shootings in Naples in one night!
The number of casualties ran into the hundreds.
Mainly it was the crime syndicates seeing their boss gone and trying to loot from the chaos, setting each other ablaze.
What was most shocking was,
in the following day's Serie A match,
Naples lost to Juventus, and their king of the field, Maradona, was maliciously fouled and had to leave the game, which really pissed off the football hooligans in the stadium.
Italy's football hooligans are notoriously lawless!
Many are the riffraff of Camorra and other criminal groups.
A bunch started chasing Juventus players and fans, beating them from inside the stadium to the outside; even isolated policemen who showed up got caught in the fight!
The whole of Naples plunged into a "mad" "carnival."
Italy's army began to station themselves in Naples!
The turmoil caused by Camorra prompted a national alert across Italy.
The head of the security department even made a heartfelt plea on television, hoping all parties would show restraint and avoid harming the innocent.
Sometimes, for some nations with weaker control, gangs also represent the "ruling class" at the grassroots.
That's just fucking Italy for you.
If it were the Soviet Union...
Especially during the Father's era, if your gang did this, someone would be improving potatoes in Siberia.
And then there's Haiti...
There's been another coup!
Raul Cedras' lieutenant took over his "elite forces" of 240 men, stormed into the official residence, and declared himself king!
And he did it via television too.
Three elements of rebellion: the barracks, the radio, and the official residence; all in hand—why wouldn't I declare myself king?
It's like the ancient imperial seal; if it's not in my hands, I am just a good citizen. With it, your majesty has a tough time.
And the first thing the lieutenant did after taking over wasn't to vindicate his big boss Raul Cedras, but to send troops to the drug plantations, his... little treasury.
So quiet you'd think they were embarrassed to admit a top Yakuza was killed, they could only play the grandchild.
They're professionals at acting like dogs, bastards, or grandkids anyway.
But it was the Governorship of Northern Mexico that issued a harsh statement three hours after the explosion.
"We strongly condemn this behavior that has no regard for the lives of civilians. Everyone in Mexico is dissatisfied with this drug trafficker-style crime, and we will cooperate with the world to oppose drug trafficker-style terrorist organizations!"
"The Mexican Intelligence Department will also actively search for clues to provide help to the United Kingdom!"
That was the first statement made.
At the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham Town, this is the place of the British Intelligence Bureau, the infamous predecessor known as "Room Number 40."
In the deep-level meeting room at the very top floor.
The director nicknamed "C," Tahar Boggs, sat there with a grim look. This nickname is actually hereditary.
The origin of the letter is because the first director, Manisfeier Kming, signed his name with a 'C'; and since then, all the directors have been known as 'C.'
Sitting below him were the heads of various bureaus.
"The Mexicans are busy trying to dissociate themselves!" Dario Olivas of MI6 said sternly, the gentleman... looking very much like James Bond from 007.
But with a mouth as foul as James. J. Bond!
Director Tahar Boggs asked for his evidence.
He bluntly stated, "The Mexicans are like a cancer on the world, and Victor is a bastard. Look who died: drug traffickers, gangsters, warlords, but they all have one identity in common: Big Drug Traffickers..."
The person from the Fifth Bureau glanced at him.
Take a look at what you're saying; the cases you\\'re citing make us look like the villain.
Maybe Dario Olivas, the director, also realized his words were inappropriate, went silent for a moment, then banged his fist on the table, "Anyway, I think it was Victor's doing!"
"He's not a good person!"
This racially biased dissatisfaction all stemmed from MI6's failures in Mexico, where many were silenced, throwing away decades of effort in North America.
How could Dario Olivas possibly feel comfortable about Victor?
After WWII, Churchill knew the "harm" of America to the world, claiming to be allies, but in fact, they were infiltrating each other from the start—after all, everyone wants to be the big brother.
In Mexico, located close to the United States, Victor discovered intelligence agencies from 13 countries!
Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Turkey, and more.
All were spying on America from this spot.
But then Victor swept them all away when he came to power.
To some extent, the Americans should be thankful for Victor.
"If we can't find the perpetrator, the blow to us will be significant, whether it's from the impact on the public or the pressure from the Royal Family, we're in for a tough time. So, I think, the criminal could be Victor." An intelligence chief from another department suddenly spoke up, looking at the director, "We just need a perpetrator, don't we?"
Seeing others with a similar point of view, Dario Olivas of MI6 looked hopefully and cheerfully at the director.
"You don't want to become the laughingstock of our foreign counterparts, do you?"
Such situations are often manipulated anyway.
