Chapter 19: Sicily, Beautiful Legends

The hotel where Luke and his party stayed is an important attraction in Sicily, the small town of Taormina.

The climate here is like spring all year round, and the scenery is beautiful.

One side is a cliff and the other is facing the sea.

The city's buildings are stacked like stones, piled on a stepped mountain.

I have to say that Alessandro is really good at doing things.

Or, to put it more accurately, he knows how to curry favor with his superiors.

Luke arrives at the inn known as "The Pea Shooter" and learns that Alessandro has already rented an entire room on the third floor for himself and his entourage.

Moreover, the reason why I chose this small inn with a small reputation.

On the one hand, it is because there are few guests and it is not too eye-catching;

On the other hand, the Pea Inn, located at the highest point in the small town of Taormina.

If you live in a room on the third floor, you only need to open the window and you can look out over the town, feel the humid sea breeze, and hear the sound of the waves that will bring your heart back to peace.

Many people love this feeling – and Luke is no exception.

According to the plan, he needed Alessandro to recruit twenty trained gunmen and get a pass into the city of Rome.

After counting the time, Luke may have to spend about four or five days in the small town of Taormina.

It's good to have a comfortable stay.

Luke and the rest of the team chose a room - according to the rules, it was supposed to be one of Dambo-Dugan, or Dinu Manuelly, sharing a room with the Commander.

This not only serves as a protective effect, but also facilitates the possibility of dealing with unexpected situations.

It's just that after seeing the great strength of Luke himself.

Members of the Roaring Commandos have said that they are the ones who need to be protected.

Therefore, the two rooms next to Luke have become sought-after items in the team.

In the end, Dugan, the two old qualifications, and Manuelly, got the benefit of being "protected by super soldiers".

"For the next few days, Dugan, and Manuel and the two of you, took turns staring at Alessandro. He may seem like a smart man, but keep him from making stupid mistakes! ”

In Luke's room, members of the Roaring Commandos gather to make plans for their next mission.

This team, which belongs to the Strategic Science Corps, has five people in addition to Luke as the commander.

Damm-Dugan, who served as the stormtrooper, was the most prestigious leader of the team.

Always taciturn and unspoken, Dinu Manuel works as a scout and a pretender for news.

The next few team members, namely the sniper Jimmy, known as "American Varisi", is a sharpshooter with every shot.

Jelf in charge of the assault, and Kenneth in the machine gunner and veteran driver.

"Dugan and I will be impersonating the envoys sent by Berlin, and the letters and necessary props for identity verification are all in place - the Allies did capture a Berlin envoy two weeks ago, thanks to the reliable information that the Strategic Science Corps tortured from the mouth of the Hydra killer!"

Luke unfolded a map of the city of Rome with a clear defense of the army.

"The others followed Alessandro's squad of gunmen to Rome, and on the day of the operation, Jimmy was going to take the high ground - this is the position! Jelf and Kenneth are in charge of leading the Gunners and causing chaos in Piazza Venezia! ”

"The supreme commander guarding Sicily is the Italian general Guzzonilao, who has eleven divisions under his command and two German armored divisions, during which the Allies will carry out irregular bombardments, and drive the fleet into the Tunis Strait, using the island of Banterella as a stronghold to create the illusion of an imminent landing, and divert Guzzonilao's attention."

"Our mission is to break into the Palazzo Venezia! Coercing Mussolini as a hostage, it will not take twenty-four hours to believe that the King of Italy will issue an announcement deposing the Prime Minister! Anyone with a vision can see that the Axis powers are gone. ”

"Then we just need to hand over the dictator to the Allies, as for the United Kingdom, the United States, the army, the navy...... It doesn't matter! Personally, however, I would suggest that General Eisenhower could be courted. ”

As Luke finished his tirade, the members of the Roaring Commando Team looked at each other and suddenly smiled.

Their hearts were like a big stone unloaded, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the young commander, who had previously reduced the Italian army to worthless, with one team broke into the enemy's hinterland and captured the leader.

It sounds like a legendary story that only a third-rate novel can be written, and there is no truth at all.

The Roaring Commandos were willing to follow Luke, not because of his charisma, but because they had no other choice.

Anyway, they were all pulled onto the boat, and if they didn't continue to follow the captain's instructions, what else could they do?

However, seeing Luke's plan, and the confidence he had shown, Roaring Commando had no other ideas.

They felt they could trust, young commander!

"Let's disperse."

Feeling the change in the atmosphere in the team, a smile appeared on Luke's lips.

Perhaps it was only at this moment that he was really recognized and given command of this team.

After a short break, Luke enjoyed a seafood feast alone, standing on the balcony and watching the sky darken.

The afterglow of the setting sun sinks into the sea, pedestrians play on the silvery sand, and rows of palm trees dance in the night breeze.

Farther away are a few spots of seagulls skimming the water, as well as the churning of waves and tides.

Luke's spirit relaxed, and a look of longing rose in his eyes.

In a few days, everyone from the Axis to the Allies will hear his name and his almost legendary deeds.

"Even if I don't follow the plot and don't follow Captain America, I can still become a 'hero' in the eyes of the world."

Luke smiled.

Lead less than thirty people and conquer a country.

This is an astonishing feat that will go down in history.

Just as Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire, with a population of about 6 million, with less than 200 men.

Flying his thoughts converged, and taking advantage of the rare leisure time, Luke went out for a walk alone.

He walked down the street to a spectacular theater that was crowded with people and the atmosphere was hot.

Under the noisy night sky, you can faintly hear the chanting of "Oedipus" or "Antigone".

Of course, I also met many charming Italian girls during this period.

It's a pity that Luke didn't have the idea of having an affair, and he lived up to the enthusiasm of those beautiful girls.

After walking aimlessly for forty minutes, he returned to the hotel.

"Hmm!"

Luke, who was about to push open the door, stared at him and burst into a cold light.

With his keen perception, he could clearly hear the breathing of another person in the room, as if it were absent, and it would be difficult to detect it unless he listened carefully.

"Is Xhosa really stupid enough to betray me and give up the olive branch handed by the Allies? Or was the plan discovered by Hydra? ”

Luke's mind had a lot of thoughts going through in a moment.

He gently pushed the door open, stepping on the soft carpet without making the slightest sound.

The half-open window blew in the sea breeze as Luke walked slowly to the large bed in the master bedroom.

He was confident that as long as the intruder showed the slightest movement, he would be able to break the opponent's neck in less than a second.

"Come out ......"

"Ahh

Luke jerked the covers open and threw himself on the fit, pressing his right hand on the "intruder's" neck.

"Is it a woman?"

Luke, who was pressed against the other party, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

A woman in silk pajamas was lying on the bed, with wavy black hair, slender legs slightly curled, and beautiful eyes full of tears, like a poor lost lamb.

"Who are you?"

It took Luke a long time to hold back this sentence.

This woman, who is full of maturity and looks like a plump and charming peach, doesn't look like a killer of Hydra at all.

The muscles show no signs of training, and they are tight but lack strength.

And under the silk pajamas, there is no place to hide the weapon.

"My name is ...... Marlena. ”

The woman's voice was as weak as she looked.
