Marvel's Superman

Chapter 44 - 044 Soaring Reputation

In Venice Palace's bedchamber, the lights were still bright, and the fluttering candlelight reflected the famous oil paintings and extravagant decorations.

Different from the previous banquets, full of the laughter of the upper-class guests. ??

Tonight's Venice Palace was very quiet, shrouded in deathly silence.

"Rescue Leader! Kill the Americans!"

"Long live Italy! Long live the Führer!"

A few harsh slogans suddenly sounded, accompanied by a burst of fierce gunfire, but quickly calmed down.

These kinds of minor disturbances simply didn't arouse any waves.

Those fools who are brainwashed by fanatical fascism couldn't really make any waves.

"Captain, this is the eleventh time. "

Dugan's dark face was full of tension.

He hasn't recovered from the successful raid in the afternoon. So far, he couldn't believe it. It was all real!

The Italian dictator, the Prime Minister of a country, Mussolini, who supported the Axis Powers and Hitler, unexpectedly became their prisoner.

"Let other members take turns on duty. The Italian defenders won't attack rashly. Their King is eager to hang Mussolini in the square. "

Luke kept his composure. Right now, he had Mussolini as a bargaining chip in his hand, and the fascist forces in Rome didn't dare to move.

As for the toppled King of Italy and the royal family, they wanted Luke to send Mussolini to the gallows immediately.

"The King has issued an announcement to depose Prime Minister Mussolini, and the royal family took over the army … Seven gunmen died, and four were seriously injured in the raid … The Allied Command sent a telegram. The British and the U.S. both want to seize ownership of Italy. The State Department and the Pentagon, the War Department and the Navy Department are all quarreling…"

Dum Dum Dugan reported the situation today. Things are going as Luke expected.

No matter how the British and Americans argue, this credit belonged to him anyway, and no one could take it away.

Luke was excited when he thought of the reputation value that was soaring like a rocket on his character panel.

"Let them fight to their heart's content. Rome and Mussolini are the chips in our hands. We will sell them to whoever offers the highest price. "

Luke smiled; he had already made a plan.

This isn't a military operation but an armed kidnapping; when Mussolini fell into his hands, he accomplished the mission.

All that remains is a political game between the rising Bald Eagle and the weakening John Bull.

However, these complicated intrigues have nothing to do with Luke himself, and he wasn't interested.

Luke wants a medal of honor that belonged to a war hero and a massive amount of reputation.

"Italians have a good attitude. The King is a wise man. He immediately ousted Mussolini and ignored Venice Palace's occupation because they wanted to show goodwill to the Allies. "

Luke saw clearly that Howling Commandos alone wouldn't be able to stop the Roman garrison.

However, there weren't as many fascist forces loyal to Mussolini and Axis countries as imagined.

This is Luke's reason for staying in the Venice Palace; behind him are the Allied troops who had already landed in Sicily.

"Everything is as you said. "

Dugan sincerely admired it.

Even though he won a fantastic victory, the Howling Commandos' young Captain wasn't carried away and remained unfazed and calm.

"However, who are we going to sell Italy to?"

Dugan asked again.

His voice trembled slightly because Luke's thoughts directly determined the future of the Howling Commandos.

"We, of course, are giving President Roosevelt this critical chip."

Luke didn't take long to think about it and quickly gave his answer.

The most re-elected president in the history of the United States of America was a powerful and flexible person to work with.

Moreover, the President sitting in the White House needs an outstanding contribution from luck to shut up the public's mouth.

After all, no one can deny that Roosevelt did play tricks in the Presidential campaign and deceived all the voters.

If they get the credit for capturing Italy, the other side will surely be grateful for the goodwill Luke passed on.

"It looks like tomorrow Allied Command will be able to send someone to take over. "

Dugan nodded. Now, he listened to Luke's every word.

One victory after another has established the young Captain's authority in the team.

Who would have thought that an unknown six-member team would have made this fantastic and legendary achievement?

"Send a telegram to the White House and wait for the President's message. "

Luke ordered it down.

From the moment Dugan sent the telegram of victory to Allied Command, the reputation refresh notifications didn't stop.
