Superman

Chapter 16 The Impossible Mission

Luke led a group of members of the Roaring Commando from the east coast, across the Atlantic Ocean, across the Strait of Gibraltar, and into Italian territorial waters.

Because Spain was a neutral country during World War II, and the British naval base was stationed nearby, their group was not hindered in any way.

After a long sea turbulence and several routine identity checks on the way, Luke and others successfully arrived in Sicily and were about to land in Palermo.

The members of the Roaring Commando couldn't believe it, they just came under the nose of Axis!

Dumbo-Dugan couldn't help but sighed and said: "This is the most thrilling thing I have ever done in my life!"

Others agreed, they were like lions walking into the pack of wolves.

No matter how powerful an individual is, as long as his identity is exposed, he will still be bitten into pieces by the crowd of wolves that rush up!

Perhaps then, their commander, Luke, can escape alone with his powerful strength.

But people like myself are destined to fall under the gun of Nazui.

"We have arrived at our destination. Someone will meet you later and they can provide shelter."

A map of Sicily was spread out in front of Luke, and he said: "I repeat, I am now Vido Corleone, a Sicilian who left my hometown in the early years. I am a smuggler, between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers. Speculators reselling supplies."

"But this is just a cover to deal with the Axis Navy. I personally caught a Hydra killer in Brooklyn, New York, his name is Greg Neeson, and the Strategic Science Corps got a lot of information from him."

"So, when I arrived in Sicily, when I saw the informant, my identity was an emissary from Berlin to give Mussolini the order of the head of state-the British had cracked Enigma and used radio communication to transmit important information. It has become an unreliable way, so disguising as a Berlin emissary will not arouse suspicion."

"Our task... is to go to Rome and assassinate Mussolini?"

Dumbo-Dugan's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

This task is too crazy.

If it hadn't been for the steady and reliable performance of Luke all the way, he would have long been recognized by the players, he would have thought the other party was joking!

"No, it's not that exaggerated. Mussolini's government is just a puppet. He himself was relieved of all powers by the King of Italy and imprisoned on the island of Ponta. Later, Hitler sent his men to rescue him."

Seeing Luke shaking his head to veto, the members of the Roaring Commando heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time in Sicily, there were two armored divisions of the German army. They would definitely be shot dead if they wanted to cause something.

As for the assassination of Musoni, it is even more fantastic!

God knows how many protectors there are around that dictator!

"Our task is to enter the city of Rome, catch Messonili alive, and assist the Allied forces in landing Sicily! Become the first team to conquer Italy!"

Luke continued.

In the next few minutes, the entire cabin fell into a dead silence.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, showing a dull expression of "I don't know if I heard it wrong or Luke was wrong".

"Sir... are you serious?"

Dumbo-Dugan asked hesitantly.

He found that this young captain can always surprise the team members.

"With a few people, I kidnapped a head of government and got away successfully-I know it sounds unreliable, and it's no different from suicide."

Luke propped his hands on the table, leaning forward, his tall figure showing a sense of oppression.

The team members who originally wanted to express their opinions subconsciously reduced their voices and closed their mouths.

"But the actual situation is not so bad! First of all, our opponents are Italians. I think the performance of this country's army does not need me to say more. The American newspaper said,'If Italy remains neutral, the German army will increase by five. The strength of a division. If Italy joins the Allied Powers, it is equivalent to adding ten divisions to the German Army. But when Italy joins the Axis Powers, the German Army needs 20 divisions to protect them!

Luke used a humorous tone to ease the atmosphere a bit.

"Compared to the French who raised the white flag in forty days, the Italians are not much better. You certainly don’t know that the British army led 25 men in World War I, fought with 10,000 Italian troops and captured them. The record of eight thousand people; you certainly don’t know, in terms of war, they can’t even win Ethiopia..."

Luke's tone was impassioned and his eyes flickered slightly.

In fact, most of the deeds he said are ridicules that have been seen in previous lives, and their authenticity needs to be verified.

For example, Ethiopia during World War II was not a primitive aboriginal in the eyes of many people. In fact, their army was known as the "East African Lion" and was quite brave and good at fighting.

If it weren't for the second invasion of Italy, it would not have been able to occupy Ethiopia and would encounter another Waterloo if it hadn't used gas warfare.

As for the Italian army, it is actually not that bad.Although it did make a lot of jokes, its military strength was not weak, and it had a brilliant performance in World War II.

For example, in the Second Battle of Alamein, the 185 "Lightning" Paratrooper Division, with an absolute disadvantage of 1:13 strength and 1:70 armor, blocked the British armored offensive with Molotov cocktails, anti-tank guns, mines and explosives.

All in all, what Luke said above is to boost the morale of the Roaring Commando and ease the fear of the players.

Maybe he can raid the city of Rome alone and capture Mussolini alive, but then he will not be able to complete the task of assisting the Allied troops to land on Sicily.

"But what we have to face is not only the Italian army, but also the Germans!"

Dugan was a little shaken. He was a soldier and should have obeyed the order, and Luke's speech was also quite infectious.

At least, the members of the Roaring Commando now believe that the Italian army is vulnerable, and it seems that it is not as difficult to advance into Rome as expected.

"Allied forces will solve it for us!"

Luke answered categorically.

The reason why he agreed to join Colonel Phillips' plan was not because of his enthusiasm, but after careful consideration.

According to the original timeline of World War II, the Allied forces have ended the campaign in North Africa, and the next step is to counterattack Italy and open up a new battlefield.

In July, allied landing forces will set sail at the east coast ports of North Africa and the Mediterranean, as well as Oran and Algiers.

Then, led by General Patton, the army went directly to Sicily.

And now, the day when the Mussolini government collapsed and Italy surrendered is not far away.

Perhaps others think that it is an impossible task to raid the city of Rome and capture the leaders alive.

But Luke was very confident, because he was standing on the rumbling wheels of history.

"Being a conqueror of Italy, how much reputation can I gain?"

Luke couldn't help thinking.

Spreading your name all over the world, this kind of similarly cheating method of gaining reputation is impossible in the game.

"Everything obeys your orders! Sir!"

After a while, Du Gen gritted his teeth to make a decision.

He arrived in Sicily anyway, surrounded by enemies.

There are two paths before him, either complete the task and return home with honor; or take the name of a traitor and send him to a military court.

Seeing the leader Dugan said this, the rest of the team nodded vigorously.
