As for what happened after the scuttling of the Ark Royal, Sir Forbes and they don't have to worry.

In Europe, the Geneva Conventions are still strictly observed among the belligerents.

According to the Third Convention of the Geneva Conventions relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War:

The prisoner of war is under the authority of the enemy's State, and not under the authority of the individual or military unit that captured him, and therefore the Detaining Power is responsible for the prisoner of war and is treated and protected humanely;

The prisoner's personal belongings, with the exception of weapons, horses, military equipment and military documents, shall remain in the possession of the prisoner;

Prisoners of war should be provided with accommodation, food, health care, etc.;

Prisoners of war may be detained, but not except by the application of criminal and disciplinary sanctions; Prisoners of war shall not be ordered to perform dangerous and humiliating labor;

Prisoners of war shall be released or repatriated without delay after the cessation of hostilities;

Under no circumstances may a prisoner of war waive some or all of the rights conferred by the Convention.

It is precisely because the Geneva Conventions are universally accepted in Europe that Forbes is able to plan this kind of self-serving deed, and to peek into the aircraft carriers that the Italian Navy has managed to get their hands on.

In other words, in Asia, I met a group of dwarfs who claimed to be the imperial emperor of the Japanese Empire, and the Geneva Conventions were useless.

It would be a miracle that those dwarves didn't slaughter you, and if they dared to block them, these mad madmen would definitely use every cruel means they could think of to deal with them.

It's better to be in Europe, Reinhardt openly humiliated and provoked Betty, and he couldn't die.

Forbes boldly led people to scuttle the Ark Royal, and they didn't have to worry about being killed.

Speaking of which, Sir Forbes's lure would not have succeeded had it not been for the willingness of the Italians to abide by the Third Convention of the Geneva Conventions and temporarily seal up the personal belongings of the British.

"Commander, commander......." the adjutant's voice pulled Forbes out of his musings.

"Commander, the Italian patrol has gone far." The adjutant reminded contemptuously, "We can follow the Italian major on." ”

Next, Forbes witnessed first-hand how loose the guards of Italians really are.

Under the arrangement of a major, they boarded the built-in lifeboat of the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto, where they were detained, and transported them to the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, which was captured by the Italian Navy.

Then, with ease, they boarded the Ark Royal and came to the deck with the help of a group of Italians who were in charge of taking over the carrier.

Forbes can feel it, and they're close to success!

The Italians are simply too lax and too unvigilant.

Now, as long as they can leave the Italian colonel who brought them for a moment, Forbes and his party, who are familiar with the structure of the Ark Royal, can immediately disperse to various important departments to lead the British sailors who were left by the Italians to keep the Ark Royal running, and scuttle the aircraft carrier from the inside.

"Mr. Major." Forbes shouted forward in a slightly louder voice.

Hearing the "big financier" calling out to himself, the Italian major also turned around and walked towards him: "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, this used to be my flagship, and I'd like to have ten minutes of personal time to see my old men." Forbes said emotionally.

In the eyes of the Italian major, having come to this point, there is no reason to quarrel with Forbes.

He didn't mind waiting another ten minutes for Forbes to revisit his hometown and be lyrical with emotion.

As long as you can get into that private room of Sir Forbes and get the fortune of Forbes, not to mention waiting ten more minutes, even if it is twenty minutes more, it is worth it!

"No problem, I'll give you fifteen minutes." The Italian major waved his bold hand: "I understand you, go and go back quickly." ”

The Italian Major was pleasant, he had never felt so powerful and capable.

Just let Forbes them go back to see their old friends, and they can fulfill their great wish to be good people for a while.

What could be more satisfying than that.

"Thank you." Forbes couldn't have imagined that things would go so smoothly.

Without saying anything, he immediately waved his hand, turned around with his own people and left immediately.

Forbes didn't want to say too much, he was afraid that the Italians would react and cause his plan to fall short.

Now, it is necessary to seize this gap, leave quickly, and then immediately join up with his old subordinates and command them to scuttle the aircraft carrier.

The plan has been carried out to the final step!

"Tata Tata ......" Forbes led two columns of four people behind him and rushed towards the inside of the ship.

As long as they enter it, as long as they see their old subordinates, they will wash away the slander of surrender and turn over to become heroes!

It's just a little bit close!

"Wait!" Just as Forbes and the others were about to enter the interior of the ship, behind him, the shouts of the Italian major were heard.

The sudden shouting of the Italian major frightened the faces of the five British officers.

If it weren't for them, now with their backs to the Italian major, maybe their iron-blue faces would have made the hearts of the five people exposed.

"Commander......." Forbes' adjutant said with a nervous expression with his eyebrows furrowed.

Could it be that this last step is still exposed?

Forbes didn't speak, and he felt his heart tremble violently.

Is it really going to fall short?!

The five British officers, all worried, stopped the last step and stopped in place.

Although only a few seconds had passed, it seemed like a century had passed in the minds of all of them.

Then, the voice of the Italian major came slowly: "Take your time, don't worry. I can wait for you a little longer. ”

"Whew~!" Almost at the same time, the five of them heard the sound of a long sigh of relief beside them.

Now they were sure that the Italians would not find out.

"Let's go." Sir Forbes whispered to the four behind him in a relaxed voice, "Go and complete our final mission." ”

Then, Forbes turned his head.

Then, a blue-black sleeve instantly blocked Sir Forbes's line of sight.

What's going on?

In astonishment, Forbes took two steps back, taking his eyes off the sleeve that was in the way.

So, a captain officer in a blue-black navy coat, a white cap, and a sword appeared in front of Forbes.

Behind the captain were the same four soldiers, different from the uniforms of the Italians they had seen along the way.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" The captain asked with a smile in German.

"Germans?" A staff officer behind Forbes, apparently understands German.

Hearing the staff officer behind him naming the other party as a German soldier, Forbes didn't want to be troubled, he quickly said to the staff officer: "Tell this German officer that we want to pass through here, and ask him to get out of the way." ”

"Yes." As soon as the staff officer received the order, he translated Forbes's words to the German captain.

After hearing this, the German captain sneered instead of giving in, and just coldly threw a sentence at the British staff officer.

"What did he say?" Forbes asked, feeling bad.

"Commander......." The staff officer only felt sweating profusely, and his facial muscles twitched to translate for Forbes: "He said that this road is not passable." ”
