Chapter 16

Luke took a group of roaring commandos from the east coast, across the Atlantic, across the Strait of Gibraltar and into Italian territorial waters.

Because Spain was a neutral country during World War II and there was a British naval base nearby, they were not blocked.

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.

Some members of the roaring commando couldn't believe it. They came under the eyes of the axis powers!

Dum bullet Dugan couldn't help sighing and said, "this is the most thrilling thing I've ever done in my life!"

Others agreed. They were like lions walking into wolves.

No matter how powerful the individual is, as long as his identity is exposed, he will still be torn to pieces by the wolves!

Maybe their commander Luke can escape alone with his strong strength.

But these people are doomed to fall under Na's gun.

"We have arrived at our destination and will be picked up later. They can provide shelter."

Luke spread out a map of Sicily in front of him and said, "I repeat, I am Vito Corleone, a Sicilian who left his hometown in the early years. My identity is a smuggler and a speculator who resells goods between the allies and the axis powers."

"But this is just a cover for dealing with the axis Navy. I personally caught a hydra killer in Brooklyn, New York. His name is Greg Nison. The strategic science Corps got a lot of information from him."

"Therefore, when I arrived in Sicily and saw the informant, my identity was the secret envoy from Berlin. I wanted to give Mussolini the order of the head of state - the British had cracked enigma and transmitted important information by radio communication, which had become an unreliable way. So I disguised as a secret envoy from Berlin and would not arouse others' suspicion."

"Our mission... Is to go to Rome and assassinate Mussolini?"

Dum bullet - Dugan stared and wondered if he had heard wrong.

This task is crazy.

If Luke had not been calm and reliable all the way, he would have been recognized by the team members. He must 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 power by the Italian King and imprisoned on Ponca island. Later, Hitler sent his men to rescue him."

Seeing Luke shaking his head to veto, the members of the roaring commando breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sicily had two German armored divisions. If they wanted something to happen, they would definitely be killed by random guns.

As for the assassination of mosoni, it is even more absurd!

God knows how many protectors there are around the dictator!

"Our mission is to enter Rome, capture mussoni alive, and help the Allies land in Sicily! Become the first team to conquer Italy!"

Luke continued.

In the next few minutes, the whole cabin fell into silence.

Everyone opened their mouths and showed a dull expression of "I don't know if they heard wrong or Luke said wrong".

"Sir... Are you serious?"

Asked dum Dugan hesitantly.

He found that the young captain could always surprise the team members.

"Kidnapping a head of government with a few people and getting away - I know it sounds unreliable. It's no different from suicide."

Luke leaned forward with his hands on the table, and his tall figure showed a sense of oppression.

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

"But the actual situation is not so bad! First of all, our opponent is the Italians. I don't think I need to say more about the performance of this country's army. The American newspaper said, 'if Italy remains neutral, the German army will increase the strength of five divisions. If Italy joins the alliance, it will increase the German army by ten divisions. But Italy joins the axis power, and the German army Twenty divisions are needed to protect them '! "

Luke eased the atmosphere a little with a humorous tone.

"Compared with the French who raised the white flag in 40 days, the Italians are not much better. You certainly don't know that the British Army led 25 people in World War I, fought 10000 Italian troops and captured 8000 people; you certainly don't know that they can't even win Ethiopia in the war..."

Luke's voice was impassioned and his eyes twinkled slightly.

In fact, most of the stories he said are ridicule stories he had seen in previous lives, and the authenticity needs to be verified.

For example, Ethiopia during World War II was not the original aborigines in the eyes of many people. In fact, their army was known as the "lion of East Africa", which was very brave and good at fighting.

Had it not been for Italy's abstemious use of poison gas in the second invasion, it might not have been able to occupy Ethiopia and encounter another Waterloo.

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

For example, in the second battle of alaman, the 185 "lightning" paratrooper division, under the absolute disadvantage of 1:13 in strength and 1:70 in armor, blocked the British armored attack with incendiary bottles, anti tank guns, mines and explosives.

In short, Luke's above words are to boost the morale of the roaring commandos and alleviate the fear of the members.

Maybe he could raid Rome alone and capture Mussolini alive, but he couldn't finish the task of assisting the allies to land in Sicily.

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

Dugan wavered. He was a soldier and should have obeyed orders. Moreover, Luke's speech was quite infectious.

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

"The allies will solve it for us!"

Luke answered decisively.

He agreed to join Colonel Phillips's plan not because he was hot headed, but after careful consideration.

According to the original timeline of World War II, the allies have ended the battle in North Africa, and the next step is to counter attack Italy and open up a new battlefield.

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

Then, led by General Patton, the army directly killed Sicily.

Now, it is not far from the day when Mussolini's government collapsed and Italy surrendered.

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

But Luke is confident because he stands on the rolling wheel of history.

"How much prestige can I gain by becoming the conqueror of Italy?"

Luke couldn't help thinking.

Spread your name all over the world. This kind of reputation brushing method, which is similar to cheating, can't be done in the game.

"Obey your orders, sir!"

After a while, Dugan clenched his teeth and made a decision.

Anyway, he arrived in Sicily, surrounded by enemies.

There are two ways ahead: either complete the task and return home with fame; Or take it to the military court in the name of a traitor.

When Dugan, the leader, said so, the other team members nodded hard.
