The Third Reich in Desperation

The reason why they become heroes is entirely because of the government's propaganda needs.

Rather than saying that the members of a fleet of the Royal Navy are cowards who surrendered their ships, it is certainly better to say that they are all unyielding heroes who scuttle ships, which can better inspire the morale of resistance in the country.

Forbes, who is used to the government's personality of reporting good news but not worrying, knows very well that as long as they can scuttle the Ark Royal, the government will forcibly make them heroes for the sake of public opinion.

As long as he can succeed, as long as he can catch the eyeliner of the Italians, he will not become the target of criticism in the country!

Text Chapter 458 Anti-Mind Drama

As for what happened after the scuttling of the Ark Royal, Sir Forbes and the others don't have to worry about it.

In Europe, the belligerent countries still strictly abide by the Geneva Convention.

According to the third Convention of the Geneva Conventions, the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War:

The prisoner of war is under the authority of the enemy State, not under the authority of the individual or military unit that captured him, so the detaining power should be responsible for the prisoner of war and treat him humanely and protect him;

The belongings of prisoners of war for their own use, other than weapons, horses, military equipment and military documents, shall remain in the possession of prisoners of war;

The lodging, food, health and medical care of prisoners of war shall be guaranteed;

Prisoners of war may be detained, but not imprisoned except under applicable criminal and disciplinary sanctions; prisoners of war shall not be ordered to perform dangerous and humiliating labour;

Immediately after the cessation of hostilities, prisoners of war shall be released or repatriated without delay;

Under no circumstances shall prisoners of war renounce some or all of their rights conferred by the Convention.

It is precisely because the Geneva Convention has been widely recognized in Europe that Forbes and the others are able to plan this kind of self-interested activity, and they can spy on the aircraft carrier that the Italian Navy finally obtained.

If it were in Asia, and met those dwarfs who claimed to be the Imperial Japanese Empire, the Geneva Convention would be useless.

It's a miracle that those dwarves didn't slaughter you. If you dare to add trouble to them, these frenzied lunatics will definitely drive out all the cruel methods they can think of to deal with the people who add trouble.

It's better to be in Europe, Reinhardt publicly humiliated and provoked Betty, and he couldn't die.

Forbes boldly took people to scuttle the Ark Royal without fear of being killed.

Speaking of which, if the Italians were not willing to abide by the third convention of the Geneva Convention and temporarily seal up the personal belongings of the British, Sir Forbes's lure tactics would not have succeeded.

"Commander, Commander..." the adjutant's voice pulled Forbes out of his contemplation.

"Commander, the Italian patrol has gone far." The adjutant reminded contemptuously: "We can continue to follow the Italian major."

Next, Forbes witnessed with his own eyes how lax the Italians' vigilance was.

Under the arrangement of a mere major, they went all the way unimpeded, boarded the built-in lifeboat of the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto where they were detained, and transported them to the aircraft carrier Ark Royal captured by the Italian Navy.

Then, they easily boarded the Ark Royal, and with the help of a group of Italians who were in charge of taking over the aircraft carrier, they came to the deck.

Forbes can feel that they are close to success!

The Italians are simply too lax and too unguarded.

Now, as long as they can leave the Italian colonel who brought them here for a while, Forbes and his party, who are familiar with the structure of the Royal Ark, can immediately disperse to various important departments and lead the British sailors who were left by the Italians to maintain the operation of the Royal Ark. Self-scuttling aircraft carrier.

"Mr. Major," Forbes called forward, a little louder.

Hearing the "big gold master" calling himself, the Italian major also turned around and walked towards him: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, this used to be my flagship. I would like to have 10 minutes of personal time to visit my old subordinates." Forbes said emotionally.

In the eyes of the Italian major, he has reached this point, and there is no reason to have a deadlock with Forbes.

He didn't mind waiting another 10 minutes for Forbes to revisit his old place and feel lyrical.

As long as you can enter the private room of Sir Forbes and get the wealth of Forbes, let alone wait for 10 minutes, even if you wait for 10 minutes, it is worth it!

"No problem, I'll give you 15 minutes." The Italian major waved his big hand boldly: "I understand you, go and come back quickly."

The Italian major was very happy. He had never felt so powerful and capable.

Just asking Forbes and the others to go back and see their old friends can satisfy their great wish and be a good person for a while.

What could be more satisfying than this.

"Thank you." Forbes never expected that things would go so smoothly.

Without saying anything, he waved his hand immediately, turned around and left with his people.

Forbes didn't want to say too much, he was afraid that the Italians would react and his plan would fall short.

Now, it is necessary to seize this gap, leave quickly, and then immediately join his old subordinates and command them to scuttle the aircraft carrier.

The plan has reached the final stage!

"Tatata..." Forbes rushed towards the interior of the hull with two rows of four people behind him.

As long as they enter inside, as long as they see the old subordinates, they will wash away the slander of surrender and turn themselves into heroes!

Just a tiny bit away!

"Wait!" Just as Forbes and the others were about to enter the interior of the hull, the voice of the Italian major came from behind him.

The sudden shout of the Italian major scared the faces of the five British officers.

If it weren't for them, with their backs facing the Italian major, maybe their ashen faces would have exposed the guilt of the five of them.

"Commander..." Forbes' adjutant said nervously, his brows tightened.

Is this last step still exposed?

Forbes didn't speak, and he also felt that his heart was trembling violently.

Is it really going to fall short? !

The five British officers all stopped their last steps worriedly, and stopped in place stupidly.

Although only a few seconds passed, in the minds of all of them, it seemed that a century had passed.

Then, the voice of the Italian major came slowly: "Take your time, don't worry. I can wait for you for a while."

"Huh~!" The five people heard a long sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Now they are sure that the Italians should not find out what they really want.

"Let's go." Sir Forbes whispered relaxedly to the four people behind him: "Go and complete our last mission."

Then Forbes turned his head away.
