Rebirth of England.

Barron naturally didn't know about Princess Cather's struggles.

After staying in Jakarta for two days, being received by Prince Walid and meeting with Saudi dignitaries including Prince Salman, he left for Lanai Island in Hawaii.

Since entering 2012, the European debt crisis has shown no signs of easing, but has instead shown a trend of deepening.

As German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, this year will be a difficult year for Europe.

As early as January this year, Standard & Poor's, one of the world's three major rating agencies, announced a downgrade of the sovereign credit ratings of nine European countries, including France - among which the sovereign ratings of France and Austria were downgraded from AAA to AA+.

At this point, it can be said that American rating agencies have begun to take turns to be "pessimistic" about the euro.

On February 2, the Greek Parliament passed the second bailout agreement reached with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund by a two-thirds majority, agreeing to implement new austerity measures. The Greek government will further cut spending by 13 billion euros in 2012, including downsizing the public sector, cutting pensions, and lowering the minimum wage.

According to the terms of the second round of aid agreement, as a condition for accepting aid, the Greek government must implement the latest fiscal austerity measures, including reducing the minimum wage in the private sector by 22%, cutting spending by 32 billion euros this year and laying off 1.5 civil servants.

After that, Eurogroup President Juncker announced at a press conference held after the Eurozone Finance Ministers' Meeting on the evening of March 3 that the second round of bailout plan for Greece with a total amount of 12 billion euros had been formally approved.

In this regard, Brown, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said in an interview:

"We are very pleased to have reached a consensus with Greece on the next round of assistance, but we need to understand that more efforts are needed to completely resolve their current predicament..."

Brown, who took office as Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund last year, has previously asked European countries to implement more stringent fiscal austerity policies if they hope to obtain this round of aid from the IMF - the IMF will not waste money to rescue countries that are unwilling to make efforts.

"According to statistics, the Greek government will face 3 billion euros of national debt maturing on March 20. If they cannot reach an agreement on repayment by then, they will suffer a catastrophic disorderly default..."

In a phone call with Barron, Daisy said:

"Now that Greece has reached an agreement with the European Central Bank and the IMF on a second round of aid, there is hope for a solution to the country's debt crisis, and the euro has been supported as a result...On that day, the euro-dollar exchange rate had a relatively large increase."

Unlike those financial institutions that had more concerns, they had already anticipated that Greece would eventually receive assistance, so the DS Group and related funds had closed their last round of short positions on European countries including Greece earlier.

Not only that, in the future, they will continue to invest funds and start to build positions, preparing to obtain a corresponding share of the dividends in the subsequent recovery of the European economy.

"Mr. Lopez, we have lost contact with Frank..."

Mike Lopez frowned slightly after hearing the report from his men:

"When did this happen?"

"Just now, he was supposed to contact us today, but he didn't. We informed London of the situation, but we didn't find them..."

"Where's the rest of the team?"

Hearing Mike Lopez's question, his deputy said solemnly:

"We have lost contact..."

When Mike Lopez got the news, he knew something must have gone wrong.

Mike Lopez is the head of the CIA's European branch, and Frank, who has lost contact with them, leads an elite team of CIA operations teams.

Only Mike knew that this elite team, at his instruction, went from Germany to London to carry out a top-secret plan called "Operation Siegfried".

But now it seems likely that this so-called "top-secret plan" has gone awry.

……

"Captain, we got a list of people they know are involved in this plan..."

At the same time, in a villa in London, Mikhail Ritter took the note with some names from his men and said with some disappointment:

"I haven't done anything with these Yankees yet."

But now that I have obtained the information I need, then those people...

He said casually:

"Get rid of them and dump them in 24 Grosvenor Square. Let the CIA collect their bodies."

The American embassy in London is located at 24 Grosvenor Square, which is also the headquarters of the CIA's London branch. Obviously, Mikhail does not care about offending the CIA.

At the beginning, they received accurate intelligence that the CIA would take action against His Royal Highness the Duke, but they were still unclear about the specific content of the action.

It was not until they captured the action team that they finally tortured out the details of the so-called "Operation Siegfried" - Mikhail knew that the so-called agents who insisted on not revealing intelligence were often very few and under those effective means of interrogation, it was only a matter of time before they revealed the truth.

It just happened that getting these CIA agents to speak went more smoothly than Mikhail had expected.

Siegfried is the dragon slayer in German legend. As the name suggests, the so-called "Operation Siegfried" is a plan carried out by the European branch of the CIA against the Duke of Devonshire, which is naturally not favorable to Barron.

He also learned that the action against Barron did not come from the CIA headquarters in Langley, but was carried out arbitrarily by the chief of the CIA's European branch - as for the reason, it was obvious that some forces behind it had offered a price for it.

As for which forces or forces are involved?

The agent named Frank and his team members were unaware of what was going on behind the scenes.

but……

Mikhail glanced at the list in his hand - he believed that he would be able to find the answers he wanted from this list.

"I need detailed information about these people. In addition, we need to get the information we need from them in the shortest possible time..."

It was still a little cold in London at night, but in the cover of darkness, a lot of news had been sent out and many people began to gather.

Not only Barron, represented by Mikhail, but also the European branch of the CIA is trying its best to control the spread of the situation.

"Although there is no definite news yet, we need to prepare for the worst. I need your assistance..."

While Mike Lopez, head of the CIA's European division, was on the phone, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, we found Frank and the others in London... They are all dead."
