Marvel's Superman

Luke took all the members of the Howling Commandos from the east coast, through the Atlantic Ocean, they crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, and entered the territorial waters of Italy.

Because Spain was a neutral country during World War II, and there was a British naval base stationed nearby, they didn't face any trouble till that point.

​​

After a long, bumpy ocean journey and several routine identity checks along the way, Luke and the others arrived in Sicily and were about to disembark in Palermo.

The members of Howling Commandos couldn't believe it. They arrived without any hitches, right under the nose of the Axis!

Dum Dum Dugan couldn't help but sigh, saying, "This is the most thrilling thing I've ever done in my life!"

The others agreed, like lions walking into a wolf's den.

Even if the individual's strength was strong, as long as their identity is exposed, they would be eaten by the wolves!

Maybe, when the time came, their Captain Luke might be able to escape by himself with his strength.

But they were destined to fall under the Nazi guns.

"We have arrived at our destination, someone will meet us later. They will make arrangements for our hideout. "

Luke spread out a map of Sicily in front of him and said, "I will repeat the plan. I am now Vito Corleone, a Sicilian who left his homeland at an early age, and now I am returning as a smuggler, and a merchant who sells goods between the Allies and the Axis powers. "

"But this is just a cover to deal with the Axis Navy. I personally captured a Hydra assassin in Brooklyn, named Greg Nissen, and the Strategic Science Reserve got a lot of information from him. "

"So, now that we have arrived in Sicily, we are going to meet an SSR informant. My identity to the Axis soldiers, while on the way, will be that of a secret envoy from Berlin to give orders to Mussolini from the Führer - the British had cracked the Enigma, and radio communication had become an reliable way of transmitting secret information, so disguising ourselves as a secret envoy from Berlin with the knowledge of the secret information would not arouse any suspicion."

[Editor Note: For those who are unfamiliar with the Enigma Code, I would recommend watching the movie, The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the ML. The movie is fanta-stick.]

…

"Our mission... is to go to Rome and kill Mussolini?"

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

This task was too crazy.

If it wasn't for the fact that Luke's reliability and calmness had been recognized by his teammates, he would have thought they were joking!

"No, it's not that exaggerated. Mussolini's government is just a puppet. He himself was relieved of all powers by the King of Italy and imprisoned in Poncha Island, and was later rescued by Hitler's men. "

Seeing Luke shake his head and vetoed, the members of Howling Commandos were relieved.

At this time in Sicily, there were two German armored divisions. If they made any trouble, they would definitely be shot dead.

As for the assassination of Mussolini, it was even more impossible!

Only God knew how much security there was around the dictator!

"Our mission is to enter Rome, capture Mussolini alive, and assist the Allied forces to land in Sicily! Become the first team to conquer Italy!"

Luke finally revealed the main objective.

For the next few minutes, the entire cabin fell into dead silence.

Everyone's mouth was wide open with a dumbfounded expression, 'Did I hear it wrong or is this guy joking?'

"Sir... are you serious?"

Dum Dum Dugan hesitantly asked.

He found that the young captain could always give his teammates surprises.

"Kidnapping a government leader with just a few people and getting away with it - not only did it sound implausible, it is no different than suicide."

Luke propped his hands on the table, leaning forward, his tall figure exuding an oppressive atmosphere.

The members who wanted to express their opinions subconsciously reduced their voices and shut their mouths.

"But the actual situation isn't so bad! First of all, our opponents are the Italians, so I don't think I need to say anything about this country's military capabilities. The American newspapers said, 'If Italy stayed neutral, the Germans would have to increase their forces by five divisions. If Italy joined the Allies, they would have to add ten divisions to their army. But when Italy joined the Axis, the Germans had no other choice but to send twenty divisions to protect them!"

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

"Compared with the French who raised the white flag in 40 days, the Italians aren't much better. You certainly don't know that the British army led 25 people in World War I, fought against 10,000 Italian troops, and captured 8,000 people; In fact, in terms of war, they can't even win against Ethiopia..."

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

Truthfully, most of the stories he said were just rumors in his previous life, and their authenticity needed to be verified.
