Luke and his Roaring Commandos set out from the east coast, crossed the Atlantic, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, and entered Italian territorial waters.

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

After a long rough ride at sea and several routine identity checks on the way, Luke and the others arrived in Sicily and were about to land in Palermo.

The members of the Roaring Commandos couldn't believe it, and they just came under the noses of the Axis powers!

Duggan couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is the most thrilling thing I've ever done in my life!" ”

The others agreed, like lions walking into a pack of wolves.

No matter how strong an individual's strength is, as long as his identity is exposed, he will still be torn to pieces by the wolves that rush up!

Maybe when the time comes, their commander Luke, will be able to escape alone with his strong strength.

But these people are destined to fall under the guns of Na (Na).

"We've arrived at our destination, and we'll be picked up 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 homeland in his early years, as a smuggler, a speculative merchant who resold supplies between the Allies and the Axis powers. ”

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

"So, when I arrived in Sicily and met with an informant, he was an envoy from Berlin to give Mussolini orders to the Führer - the British had already cracked Enigma and used radio communications to transmit important information, which had become an unreliable way, so disguised as a Berlin envoy would not arouse suspicion."

"Our mission...... Is it to go to the city of Rome and assassinate Mussolini? ”

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

This task is inevitably too crazy.

If it weren't for the calmness and reliability shown by Luke along the way, he would have been recognized by the team members a long time ago, and he would definitely think that the other party was joking!

"No, it's not that exaggerated. Mussolini's government was only a puppet, he himself had been relieved of all power by the King of Italy and imprisoned on the island of Poncha, from whom Hitler sent his men. ”

Seeing Luke shake his head in no, the members of the Roaring Commando breathed a sigh of relief.

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

As for the assassination of Musonili, it is even more fantastic!

God knows how many protectors there are around that dictator!

"Our mission is to enter the city of Rome, capture Mussonili alive, and assist the Allies in landing in Sicily! Be the first team to conquer Italy! ”

Luke continued.

For the next few minutes, the entire cabin fell silent.

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

"Sir...... Are you serious? ”

Dugan asked hesitantly.

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

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

Luke propped his hands on the table, leaning forward, his tall figure exuding a sense of oppression.

The team members, who originally 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, and I think the performance of the army of this country, I don't need to say more, the American newspapers say, 'If Italy remains neutral, the Germans will be equivalent to an increase of five divisions.' If Italy had joined the Allies, it would have increased the German army by ten divisions. But Italy joined the Axis powers, and the Germans needed twenty divisions to protect them'! ”

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

"The Italians are no better off than the French, who raised the white flag in forty days, and you don't know how the English led twenty-five men in the First World War, fought against 10,000 Italian troops, and took 8,000 prisoners; Surely you don't know that they can't even win Ethiopia when it comes to war......"

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

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

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

If it weren't for the fact that Italy did not use poison gas warfare in the second invasion, it might not have been able to occupy Ethiopia, and it is not known that it would have encountered another Waterloo.

As for the Italian army, it was actually not so unbearable. Although it did make a lot of jokes, it was not weak militarily, and it also had a brilliant 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, Luke's words above were meant to boost the morale of the Roaring Commandos and ease their fears.

Maybe he could raid the city of Rome and capture Mussolini alive by himself, but he couldn't complete the task of assisting the Allies in landing Sicily.

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

Dugan wavered, he was a soldier who was supposed to obey orders, and Luke's speech was contagious.

At the very least, the members of the Roaring Commandos were now convinced that the Italian army was vulnerable, and that advancing into the city of Rome did not seem to be as difficult as it had been.

"The Allies will solve it for us!"

Luke replied categorically.

He agreed to join Colonel Phillips' plan not because he was hot-headed, but because it was well thought out.

According to the original timeline of World War II, the Allies had ended the campaign in North Africa, and the next step was to counterattack Italy and open up a new battlefield.

In July, 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, General Patton led the army and slaughtered directly to Sicily.

And now, the day is not far from the fall of Mussolini's government and the surrender of Italy.

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

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

"How much prestige can I gain as a conqueror of Italy?"

Luke couldn't help but think.

Spreading one's name all over the world, a near-cheating method of gaining prestige, can't be done in the game.

"Everything is at your command! Sir! ”

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

He arrived in Sicily anyway, surrounded by enemies.

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

Seeing that Dugan, who was in the lead, said this, the rest of the team members also nodded vigorously.
