If they take Malta and stay out of Greece they can hold their own in Libya without German help, but taking the Suez is probably outside their ability. I mean even with their Frogmen being even more successful than IOTL and them really being aggressive with their navy and limited fuel supplies its a stretch to imagine.Is there any chance of Japanese Italy taking the Suez Canal? They can probably take Malta, especially if the Battle of Crete isn't bungled and the Germans aren't turned off from paratroopers, but is Cairo and the Suez Canal beyond only assailable by land, or can they be taken by naval assault?
IOTL Decima MAS was quite successful:
