Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 16 Mission Impossible

Luke took a group of members of the Roaring Commando from the east coast, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, and entered Italian territorial waters.

Because during World War II, Spain was a neutral country, and there was a British naval base stationed nearby, so they were not hindered in any way.

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

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

Damdan-Duggan couldn't help but sigh, saying, "This is the most thrilling thing I've ever done in my life!"

Others agreed, like lions walking into a pack of wolves.

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

Maybe at that time, their commander, Luke, can escape alone with his powerful strength.

But these people are destined to fall under the gun of Nazu.

"We've reached our destination and someone will be there later and they'll be able to provide shelter."

Luke spread out a map of Sicily in front of him and said: "I repeat, I am now Victor Corleone, a Sicilian who left his hometown in his early years, as a smuggler, between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers A speculator who sells supplies."

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

"So, I arrived in Sicily, and after seeing the informant, I was an emissary from Berlin, and I was going to give Mussolini an order from the head of the state - the British had already cracked Enigma and transmitted important information by radio communication, It has become an unreliable way, so pretending to be a Berlin emissary will not arouse suspicion."

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

Damdan-Duggan's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

This task is too crazy.

If it wasn't for Luke's steady and reliable performance all along the way, he would have been recognized by the team members long ago, and he must have thought that 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 before, and he was imprisoned on the island of Ponza. Later, Hitler sent his men to rescue him."

The members of the Roaring Commando were relieved to see Luke shook his head in veto.

At this time in Sicily, there were two German armored divisions. If they wanted to make something happen, they would definitely be shot to death.

As for the assassination of Musoni, that's even more of a fantasy!

God knows how many protectors there are around that dictator!

"Our mission is to enter the city of Rome, capture Musoniiri alive, and assist the Allies to land on Sicily! Be the first team to conquer Italy!"

Luke continued.

For 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 said it wrong".

"Sir... are you serious?"

Durham-Duggan asked hesitantly.

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

"The kidnapping of a government head with just a few people and getting out - I know that sounds unreliable, and it's no different from suicide."

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

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

"But it's not that bad! First of all, our opponents are the Italians. I don't think I need to say more about the performance of this country's military. The American newspapers said, 'If Italy remains neutral, the German army is equivalent to an increase of five The strength of one division. If Italy joins the Allies, it is equivalent to ten divisions of the German army. But when Italy joins the Axis, the German army needs twenty divisions to protect them'!"

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

"Compared to the French who raised the white flag in forty days, the Italians are not much better. You must not know that the British led twenty-five men in the First World War, fought against ten thousand Italian troops, and took prisoners. Eight thousand men; you certainly don't know that in the war they couldn't even win Ethiopia..."

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

Most of the deeds he said were actually ridiculed jokes that he had seen in his previous life, and the authenticity remains to be verified.

For example, Ethiopia during World War II was not the primitive indigenous people in the eyes of many people. In fact, their army was called the "Lion of East Africa", and it was quite brave and good at fighting.

If it hadn't been for Italy's second invasion, it would not have been able to use poisonous gas wars with integrity, it might not have been able to occupy Ethiopia, and it would have been unknown if it encountered another Waterloo.

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

For example, in the Second Battle of El Alamein, the 185th "Lightning" Paratrooper Division, with an absolute disadvantage of 1:13 in strength and 1:70 in 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 fears of the team members.

Maybe he can raid the city of Rome alone and capture Mussolini alive, but the next task of assisting the Allies to land in Sicily, he can't complete it himself.

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

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

At least, the members of the Roaring Commando now believe that the Italian army is vulnerable, and advancing into the city of Rome does not seem to be as difficult as imagined.

"The Allies will solve it for us!"

Luke's unequivocal answer.

He agreed to join Colonel Phillips' plan, not out of hot-headedness, but out of deliberation.

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 counter-attack the territory of Italy and open up a new battlefield.

In July, the Allied landing forces would set sail in ports on the eastern coast of North Africa and the Mediterranean, as well as in Oran and Algiers.

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

And now, the days of the fall of Mussolini's government and the surrender of Italy are not far off.

It may seem to others that raiding the city of Rome and capturing the leader alive is simply an impossible task.

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

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

Luke couldn't help thinking.

Spreading your name all over the world, this kind of cheating method of gaining reputation, can't be done in the game.

"Everything is at your command! Sir!"

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

Anyway, he arrived in Sicily, surrounded by enemies.

There are only two paths in front of them, either complete the task and return home with honor; or take the name of a traitor and go to court-martial.

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