Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 16: mission Impossible

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

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

   After a long turbulence on the sea 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 were a little bit unbelievable, they just came under the nose of Axis!

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

   Others all 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 are swarming up!

   Maybe then, their commander, Luke, will be able to escape alone with his mighty strength.

   But people like myself are destined to fall under the gun of Na (na).

   "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. Speculative merchants 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 method, so disguising as a Berlin emissary will not arouse suspicion by others."

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

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

   This task is too crazy.

   Had it not been for Luke's steady and reliable performance all the way, he would have been recognized by the players long ago, and 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 lifted from all powers by the Italian king before and imprisoned on the island of Ponça. Later, Hitler sent his men to rescue him."

   Seeing Luke shaking his head to veto, the members of the roaring commando were relieved.

   At this time in Sicily, there are two armored divisions of the German army. If they want to cause something, they will definitely be shot to death.

   As for the assassination of Mussoni, 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 Messoni 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 said it wrong".

   "Sir... are you serious?"

  Dumbo-Dugan asked hesitantly.

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

   "With a few people, he 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 member who originally wanted to express his opinion subconsciously reduced his voice and closed his mouth.

"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 to be said. The American newspaper said,'If Italy remains neutral, the German army is equivalent to an increase of five. The strength of individual divisions. 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.

   The deeds he said are actually mostly ridicules that he has seen in his previous life, and their authenticity remains 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 it would have been unknown if it hadn’t used gas warfare with ethics during the second invasion.

   As for the Italian army, it is actually not that unbearable. Although it did make a lot of jokes, its military strength was not weak, and it also had a dazzling 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 in strength and 1:70 in armor, used Molotov cocktails, anti-tank guns, mines and explosives to block the British armored offensive.

   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 mission of assisting the Allied forces to land in 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 he should have obeyed orders. Moreover, Luke's speech was quite contagious.

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

   "Allied forces will solve it for us!"

   Luke answered decisively.

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

  According to the original timeline of World War II, the Allied forces have ended the campaign in North Africa. The next step is to counterattack the territory of 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 directly slammed towards Sicily.

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

   It may seem to others that it is an impossible task to raid the city of Rome and capture the leaders alive.

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

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

   Luke couldn't help thinking.

   Spreading his name all over the world, this kind of method of gaining reputation, which is similar to cheating, can't be done in the game.

   "Everything obeys your orders! Sir!"

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

   He arrived in Sicily anyway, surrounded by enemies.

   There are two paths ahead, either complete the task and return home with honor; or betray the name of a traitor and be sent to a military court.

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