Superman

The others agreed, like lions among wolves.

No matter how powerful an individual is, as long as his identity is exposed, he will still be bitten to pieces by the swarming wolves!

Maybe when the time comes, their commander Luke will be able to escape alone by relying on his formidable strength.

But people like myself are destined to fall under the guns of the Nazis.

"We've arrived at our destination and someone will pick us up later and they will be able to provide shelter."

Luke spread out a map of Sicily in front of him, and said, "I repeat, I am now Vito Corleone, a Sicilian who left his hometown in the early years. Speculators in supplies."

"But this is just a cover to deal with the Axis navy. I personally captured a Hydra killer in Brooklyn, New York. His name is Greg Neeson. The Strategic Science Corps got a lot of information from him."

"So, when I arrived in Sicily, after I saw the informant, my identity was that of an emissary from Berlin, who wanted to issue an order from the head of state to Mussolini. In an unreliable way, pretending to be a Berlin emissary will not arouse suspicion."

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

Damm Duggan's eyes widened, and he wondered if he heard it wrong.

This mission is too crazy.

If Luke hadn't been recognized by the team members for his calmness and reliability along the way, he must have thought the other party was joking!

"No, it's not that exaggerated. The Mussolini government is just a puppet. He himself was removed from all powers by the Italian king and imprisoned on Pontza Island. Later, Hitler sent his men to rescue him."

Seeing Luke shaking his head in veto, the members of the Howling Commando breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time in Sicily, there were two German armored divisions. If they wanted to make a fuss, they would definitely be shot to death.

As for the assassination of Mussonelli, that is even more impossible!

God only knows how many protectors that dictator has around him!

"Our mission is to enter the city of Rome, capture Mussolini alive, and assist the Allied forces to land in Sicily! Be 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 wrong, or Luke said wrong".

"Sir, are you serious?"

Dum Duggan asked hesitantly.

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

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

Luke propped his hands on the table and leaned 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 the actual situation is not that bad! First of all, our opponent is the Italians. I don't need to say more about the performance of this country's army. American newspapers said that if Italy remained neutral, the German army would increase by five. The power of divisions. If Italy joined the Allies, it would be equivalent to adding ten divisions to the German Army. But if Italy joins the Axis Powers, the German Army needs twenty divisions to protect them!"

Luke eased the atmosphere a little with a humorous tone.

"Compared to the French who raised the white flag in forty days, the Italians are not much better. You must not know that the British army led 25 men to fight against 8000 Italian troops and captured [-] people in World War I." record; you don't know, they can't even win a war against Ethiopia"

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

Most of the deeds he said were actually 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 original aborigines in the eyes of many people. In fact, their army was known as the "Lion of East Africa" ​​and was quite brave and good at fighting.

Had it not been for Italy's unscrupulous use of poison gas warfare during the second invasion, it may not have been able to occupy Ethiopia, and it is unknown whether it will encounter another Waterloo.

As for the Italian army, it's actually not that bad.Although it has indeed made many jokes, its military strength is not weak, and it also performed brilliantly in World War II.

For example, in the second battle of Alamein, the 185th "Lightning" paratrooper division, with an absolute disadvantage of 1:13 troops and 1:70 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 team members.

Maybe he can raid the city of Rome alone and capture Mussolini alive, but then he will not be able to complete the task of assisting the Allied forces in landing on Sicily.

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

Dugan was a little shaken. As a soldier, he should obey orders, and Luke's speech was quite contagious.

At least, the members of the Roaring Commando now believe that the Italian army is vulnerable, and it seems that advancing into Rome is not as difficult as imagined.

"The Allies will solve it for us!"

Luke answered decisively.

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

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

In July, the Allied landing forces will set sail in North Africa and the eastern ports of the Mediterranean, as well as Oran and Algiers.

Then, General Patton led the army and went straight to Sicily.

And now, the day when Mussolini's government collapsed and Italy surrendered was not far away.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, raiding the city of Rome and capturing the leaders alive is simply an impossible task.

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

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

Luke couldn't help thinking.

Spreading one's name all over the world, this kind of cheating-like method of gaining prestige, cannot be done in the game.

"Everything is at your command! Sir!"

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

Anyway, he arrived in Sicily, surrounded by enemies.

There are two paths before him, either to complete the mission and return home with honor; or to be accused of being a traitor and sent to a military court.

Seeing what Dugan, the leader, said, the rest of the team members also nodded vigorously.

Chapter No.17 explained to me, what is respect

Sicily is located in the south of Italy, separated from the Strait of Messina in the northeast, facing the Apennine Peninsula, and occupies an important position in the commercial and trade routes of the Mediterranean Sea.

Therefore, when Luke disembarked from Palermo, he expected to encounter a fairly strict interrogation.

The result was beyond his expectation. Luke, who was currently the smuggler Vito Corleone, only used twenty boxes of cigarettes, some ham, and bread to easily bribe the chief of the place and pass easily.

It can be seen that later generations said that the entire Italian army during World War II was corrupt from top to bottom. This is not without reason to speculate.

After landing, Luke saw a few tall men with peaked caps and tattoos on their arms on the pier of the port, secretly looking at his group.

He walked over with a kind face and said in fluent Italian, "Do you know where the Brass Bell Tavern is?"

The benefits brought by the superman template are not only the upgrade of strength and the strengthening of the body.

Speaking of learning talent and thinking ability, Luke has significantly improved.

If Superman, who wants to come to the studio next door, really thinks with his brain, he may not be inferior to Batman, who is known as the "Justice League think tank".

But maybe it is because of the existence of Batman that Superman will be too lazy to use his brain.

Luke smiled, got rid of these boring thoughts, and started talking to these tall men.

Before leaving, he just had a brief dash of Italian, and now he can speak a local dialect with a Sicilian dialect accent.

This is also one of the reasons why the Roaring Commando was able to pass the patrol warships many times along the way.

Later, many team members believed in Vito Corleone's identity.

Even though Luke had told Dum that Duggan had grown up in Brooklyn, Dum remained skeptical that the young captain was most likely from Sicily.

"Mr. Corleone?"

The leading man asked with a frown.

"You can call me Victor."

Luke said lightly.

Hearing the other party's acknowledgment of their identity, these men in similar clothes immediately changed their attitudes and became respectful.

"Mr. Corleone, Boss Xhosa is waiting for you at the Brass Bell Tavern! The car is ahead!"

Immediately, he waved, and three black cars drove over outside the pier.

The man opened the car door and waited for Luke to get in.

The "Xhosa Boss" they call is the informant for the development of the Strategic Science Corps.

Luke gave the Howling Commandos a look to signal them not to let their guard down, and got into the car.

Soon, the convoy kicked up a cloud of dust and drove towards the Bronze Bell Tavern.

Cosa Alessandro, the only remaining mafia boss in Sicily.

The mafia, which is famous in later generations and even world-renowned, is not doing well at this time.

In 1925, after Mussolini gained absolute control over Italy, he delivered a massive national speech on the Mafia.

Through the tweeter, he vowed to all Italians to purify the air in society and crack down on gangsters and evil!

The cancer of the mafia must be completely eradicated from Italy!

No one thought that Mussolini actually did what he said and started a severe sweep of the Mafia.

On the one hand, he commanded the fascist military and police to arrest nearly a thousand mafia elements, and on the other hand, he directly destroyed the opponent's lair.

And after being captured, even the basic trial process was not used, and a comprehensive bloodbath was launched directly.

In Sicily's Fountain Square, people are executed every day, and blood seeps into every tile and soil.

As a result, the mafia people died, fled, or were arrested and imprisoned, or fled overseas.

Up to now, Sicily is already a "pure land" without black forces.

Instead of worrying about harassment by gangsters, people have to endure a dictator's reign of terror.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Mafia, which was weakened in Italy, has risen again from the United States and regained its vitality.

For later generations of Hollywood gangster films, a large number of inexhaustible and inexhaustible character materials have been created.

Luke, who has been in contact with the Irish gangsters and also dealt with the Italian mafia, knows this very well.

Seeing the harsh living environment in Sicily and the grudge against Mussolini, many mafia families simply sneaked into the thighs of the Allies.

This was the case with Xhosa Alessandro, who was developed into an informant for the Strategic Science Corps.

Three or ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the Tongzhong Tavern.

Several burly men with tattoos stood guard at the door, and Luke who got out of the car was stopped.

"Mr. Alessandro, are you going to let me in alone? It doesn't seem very sincere."

Luke sneered.

The leading man looked a bit ugly, he was silent for a while, and said: "The situation in Sicily is very tense, Mr. Corleone, please forgive me. Well, you can bring a follower. Boss Xhosa is very cautious, and this is also for his sake. For the sake of safety."

"Since your attitude is so sincere, then I have nothing to say."

Luke took off his black woolen coat and handed it to Manelli behind him, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon.

Then, he reached out for Dum and Dugan to follow.

"Stay where you are and wait for me to come out."

Luke ordered.

Manelli nodded, holding the clothes in one hand and carrying a submachine gun hidden in the suitcase with the other.

He was very sure that if these mafias dared to play tricks, he and his team members could turn the Tongzhong Tavern upside down!

Luke paced into the tavern, which was a meeting place for the mafia.

The thick round tables were full of "family members".

Most of them are young and strong fighters, they are part of the "legion", which is responsible for using violence, fighting for or guarding the territory.

Being watched closely by more than 30 strong men, and also rumored to be extremely cruel mafia, if it were an ordinary person, his legs would have been weak and he would not be able to walk.

But Luke's face was calm, his steps were steady, and his aura was not empty.
