Royal Italian Navy

Leon didn't answer Rashid's question, just smiled noncommittally.

When Rasheed saw Leon's expression, he knew that there was definitely a ghost around him.

"Damn it!" Rashid said in frustration, "Führer, who is the inner ghost beside me?"

"I can't tell you now." Leon shook his head and said, "When the time comes, you will naturally know who betrayed you."

If Leon told Rashid now, with his temper, even if he didn't expose the traitor on the spot, he would inadvertently reveal all kinds of unnaturalness. And the traitor can hide behind Rasheed for such a long time without being discovered, which must have understood Rasheed's character, so as long as Rasheed shows a trace of unnaturalness, the traitor will definitely find the problem. When the time comes, Leon's plan will be revealed. It's a small matter, it would be hell if the old fox Nuri seized the loophole and killed it.

So Leon temporarily chose to hide it from Rashid, and even telling him that there was such a thing was a big risk.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" Rashid muttered in pain, "They have been with me for so long, we have gone through so much together, we have shed blood together for the independence of this country, but they betrayed me. , Betrayed the motherland?"

Although Rashid is not that smart, he really loves his motherland and his comrades in arms, which is why so many people follow him sincerely, and he can fight cunning. The reason for the Nuri.

This is also the reason why he will be so distressed when he knows that his closest comrade betrays him.

"Mr. Rasheed, you need to adjust your mood." Leon advised, "I'll go out later, remember not to show yourself, after all, my plan has not been implemented yet."

"The head of the guild." Rashid sorted out his mood. "Wait, you said the plan? What plan?"

"This is what I want to talk to you alone." Leon sat down again and said coldly, "Nuri is going to join forces with the British Air Force Base to kill me!"

"What, what?!" Rashid was startled, "Nuri is going to assassinate you? He, is he crazy?! Didn't he think about the consequences?! Did he want to drag Iraq to hell?!"

"Maybe." Leon shrugged and pouted.

"No! No! I can't let him do this!" Rashid turned around anxiously, "You go now, get out of here! I'll arrange the plane!"

"I won't go." Leon shook his head and sneered, "If I wanted to go, I could have gone long ago, but running away is not my style."

"But..." Rashid said anxiously, "but your safety..."

"Don't worry, I'm very experienced in how to deal with assassination." Leon said, subconsciously reaching out and touching his back, "How to deal with people who want to assassinate me, I'm also very experienced!"

"I can't let you take a risk!" Rashid was about to cry. He knew very well that with the strength of the German army, if Lyon had a bad time in Iraq, it would take less than three days for Iraq to turn into ruins.

"I'll assemble the army now!" Rashid didn't listen to what Leon said. He was now thinking about declaring war on the British garrison in advance to protect Leon's safety.

Or to protect the security of Iraq.

"Mr. Rasheed!" Leon frowned and shouted, "I will take care of Nouri and the Englishman, you just need to cooperate with me and don't reveal anything, understand?!"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Leon was unhappy, Rashid nodded quickly and agreed.

"Remember, don't show your secrets in front of your subordinates, what you usually do, do what you do now!" Leon urged again.

"No problem." Rashid patted his face and tried to stabilize his emotions.

"Very well, let's go out now." Leon nodded and took the lead out of the door.

"Führer!" As soon as Lyon walked out of the door, an SS officer greeted him and whispered, "Führer, there is the latest news from the Gestapo, and there are about 15 trucks in the British Air Force Base. Leaving the town of Habania half an hour ago and heading towards Baghdad, they have all their 26 Speed ​​'Oxford' trainers, 8 Ferry 'Gordon' trainers and 30 The Hawker 'Odex' was fitted with 113kg and 91kg bomb pylons."

"So many planes? Hehe." Leon smiled, "Do they have enough pilots?"

"The intelligence shows that there are 35 instructors who really have enough flight experience, and only 3 of them have actual combat experience." The officer replied, "But with such a large-scale modified trainer, they will definitely send cadets to participate in the war. Head of state, you should leave here first, I'm afraid..."

"No, I won't leave Iraq. How can a group of pilot students be able to turn the world upside down?" Leon shook his head and refused, and then said a famous saying of the later American presidents, "Where is our aircraft carrier?"

"Ahem, my head of state." The officer replied a little embarrassedly, "Our aircraft carrier is still in the North Sea..."

When Leon heard this, his face darkened and he said, "Why hasn't Rader come over yet?"

"General Rader said he was also helpless. The British Royal Navy's home fleet had merged with the Mediterranean Fleet and blocked the Norwegian Sea. Our fleet could not break through the British blockade line before it hit the British fleet again." The officer wiped Khan, "But don't worry, the Italian Navy's 'Sky Eagle' (Aquila

) has replaced the High Seas Fleet for support. "

The "Skyhawk" aircraft carrier was transformed from the cruise ship "Rome" launched in 1926. It was originally converted in 1942, but now due to the influence of the German aircraft carrier fleet, Mussolini has It was ordered to be remodeled in 1937.

"Italy..." Leon sighed while holding his forehead. Now he began to regret his stubbornness. Is it too late to run now? This is the sentence he most wants to say now.

But Lyon thought about it for a while, but still didn't say anything, because in terms of military records, the Italian Royal Navy was much stronger than the Royal Army, and they could fight back and forth with the British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. Even the Italian navy's manned torpedo unit blew up three British warships seriously, and when they turned to the Allies later, they blew up many German ships.

So Lyon still chooses to believe in Italy once. Of course, the reason he believed was more because the British fighters were mostly rookies.

If the naval aviation of the Royal Italian Navy could not even defeat a group of rookies, then the Axis powers might as well surrender earlier in this war.
