At the very least, the "aircraft carrier Ark Royal" should be scuttled, this is the final decision made by Forbes and others.

Soon, after recovering some of his energy and physical fitness, Sir Forbes, who decided to take action, took his chief of staff, Adjutant Yu, and two cronies to the door of the prisoner's detention room.

"Knock knock!" Sir Forbes nervously knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" The Italian major officer, who had been transferred to guard Forbes because he knew English, impatiently spoke to Forbes in his not very fluent English through the small glass window on the door.

The Italian major, who was already dissatisfied with the fact that he had arranged for him to take prisoners, was disturbed by Forbes to close his eyes and recuperate, which made the major even more uneasy.

If he had not been assigned to guard the British prisoners, the Major would have been enjoying the banquet of wine and wine in the ship's dining room with his comrades.

On warships, although fine wine, which is a flammable and explosive product, has always been strictly forbidden.

However, in the Italian navy, which likes to enjoy itself, the officers and men of each ship will secretly carry a little wine to avoid the "Italian" interrogation, which is not strict, and bring these contraband on the warship.

For this little action of his subordinates, the commander of the Italian fleet, Lefehr, also knew it well.

However, he will not suppress the slightest violation of the rules of his subordinates.

Who doesn't have a hobby, if everyone is not allowed to bring moonshine on board. With the little beer stock in the bottom pantry, it is estimated that it will be divided up in less than a meal.

And if there is no wine, how can you celebrate after victory? What to use to let the officers and soldiers vent their joy.

But now it's good, the major, who has already drunk the moonshine, finally waited for Commander Lefell to give the order, and had a chance to drink a free drink to celebrate the victory.

As a result, just because he could speak some English, he was recommended to be the highest officer in charge of guarding prisoners.

Perhaps seeing that the Italian major was not very good at talking, Forbes didn't talk nonsense, and directly took off the gold watch on his wrist and shook it in front of the Italian major.

Then Forbes spoke: "Mr. Major, if you are willing to do me a favor, this gold watch will be given to you as my thank you." ”

Gold watch?!

The Italian major is still very sensitive to the word gold in English words. When he heard that he had a gold watch as a reward, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

"You say, you say." The major used the little English word he had mastered to say the word "please" twice in succession.

"It's very simple, I still have a lot of valuable personal belongings left on the aircraft carrier Ark Royal." Sir Forbes kept smiling as much as he could, and slowly deceived: "You know, we are now captured, and there is no way to get out. ”

"However, the private accommodation of our British officers and soldiers on the Ark Royal should still be under sealing." Forbeston paused, then lowered his voice a little in a provocative tone, but assured that he was at a decibel level that could be heard by the Italian major, and said slowly:

"If the Major is willing to help me slip back to the Ark Royal's personal quarters and retrieve some of my personal belongings. Well, I would like to give thirty percent of the benefits to Mr. Major. ”

Speaking of this, Sir Forbes secretly swallowed his saliva and stared nervously into the eyes of the Italian major.

Truth be told, Forbes rarely deceives people and doesn't have much experience.

In addition, this time the lie was made up by him temporarily, and the credibility is inevitably a little low.

Whether it succeeds or not, it basically depends on whether the Italian major on duty has a high IQ.

"This thing....... It's a bit of a hassle. The Italian major scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "It's not easy to release the prisoners." ”

Hearing this, Forbes and the adjutant and chief of staff who were eavesdropping next to the hatch couldn't help but feel a lot colder in their hearts.

Returning to the Ark Royal as a prisoner is still a bit too much to take for granted.

Just as Sir Forbes sighed and was about to give up, he locked their hatch, but it was opened by the Italian major.

The major stretched out his hand to Sir Forbes, his eyes fixed on his gold watch, and did not take his eyes off him: "Well, if you promise to give me half of the valuables, I will find a way to help you get back." ”

It turned out that the benefits were not enough!

After discovering that the other party said that things were difficult to do, not because they couldn't do it, but because the other party was more greedy than expected and wanted more benefits, Forbes and his party breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, no problem." Sir Forbes readily agreed to the Italian major, took off the gold watch in his hand and said, "I will keep half of the things and give you the rest." ”

"Deal." The Italian major smiled even more.

He suddenly realized that guarding the captives didn't seem to be a bad thing, at least, there was a chance to make a profit.

With the rank of major, in the two terms of the Italian military and government, which is full of corrupt officials, there is almost no chance to squeeze into the front row and take advantage with those big corrupt officials.

Although everyone knows that Italian generals often use their power to smuggle and sell all kinds of military and civilian materials to the Germans, and earn a lot of extra money.

However, many little people can only know.

Their rank was not enough to give them access to the Germans, let alone reselling supplies.

So, when Sir Forbes used a bright gold watch as a bait and claimed to be more valuable as a disguise, the major in the Italian navy, which was known for its corruption, took advantage of this God-given opportunity to make a fortune without even thinking about it.

"By the way, I have to bring a few people with me, the things are too fragmentary, I can't finish them alone." Sir Forbes added casually after receiving the look from the adjutant.

"How many people are you going to bring out?" The Italian major, who had already received the gold watch from Forbes, asked casually while playing with this delicate and beautiful watch.

"Not much, just four." Forbes said with a smile.

"Four?" The Italian major was stunned for a moment, then said after a little thought: "It's okay, then I'll bring a few people with me to take my share." ”

"Of course, of course." Sir Forbes, who confirmed that the other party had been fooled, smiled and said, "Eight people are enough to remove all the valuable items in my room." ”

Forbes was very happy, he didn't expect that the Italian major would fall for the strategy proposed to him by the staff officer so easily.

The Italian major was also very happy, and in his opinion, it was the stupid commander of the British fleet who was still the master.

Can you still open something when you see something?

Think beautifully, it's all mine!
