After completing the reception of the new airframe, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai led the team to have a meal first, and then went to the briefing room attached to the detachment station.
"The content of the afternoon is to let the veterans teach you some experience and lessons. At the same time, it also allows you to get to know the pirates who are particularly dangerous in the asteroid belt."
After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he tapped the electronic whiteboard behind him with his pointer, and the next moment a whole schematic diagram appeared.
"First, let me tell you how a general bandit suppression operation starts. Before the operation starts, the mothership will move to a position five thousand kilometers away from the combat space, and the combat boat we board will set off from here.
"After a short acceleration, we will shut down the engine and enter the coasting stage. Except for the gravity of the sun, no one or thing will know that we are coming.
"After arriving at the clearance area, we will turn on all detection equipment and dig deep to find the pirates! Most of the time we will miss the target, so don't worry too much about this situation.
"On rare occasions, we will catch poachers who have not registered with the Production Management Committee. In this case, we need to arrest them. But these people are not pirates. We must ensure their life safety as much as possible and cannot open fire casually."
Prabhas raised his hand: "How can we stop them without firing? Impact?"
"The main thing is to use maneuvers to force them to stop. Don't worry, most people will honestly stop resisting, because their spaceships can't outrun us.
"Nine out of ten liquidation operations unfold like this. In the remaining one, you will encounter real pirates.
"A standard pirate base probably looks like this."
The lieutenant colonel took a picture of the whiteboard, and the picture changed from a route map to a cross-section of the pirate base.
"I remember that pirates will equip a considerable number of missile silos as fixed defenses. Lasers, electromagnetic guns and plasma weapons are all important materials for pirates. They will only be equipped on pirate ships and are unlikely to be used for base defense.
"Some pirate bases are even equipped with gunpowder weapons, such as this 37mm anti-aircraft gun and this 120mm gun. Don't underestimate these things. As long as the relative speed when impacting is high enough, they can still cause fatal damage.
"In addition, some pirate bases will also deploy mines, so don't be careless."
Wang Ping'an raised his hand: "When encountering such a pirate base, it should be difficult to destroy the structure under the asteroid with the firepower of a combat boat, right?"
"Yes, our main mission is to dismantle the enemy's defense and destroy the pirate ships. As for the pirates huddled inside the base, we will leave it to the marines carried by the mother ship. Wang Ping'an, do you have any questions?"
"Where did we get the information about the pirate base?"
"The military police and the intelligence analysis department also obtain some information through information exchange with mercenaries from large companies."
Wang Pingan continued to ask: "Pirates make money in the asteroid belt. They must have a way to make money. What do they mainly rob?"
"There are two main types of being robbed. One is cargo ships bound for Jupiter. Ships bound for Jupiter will carry mechanical equipment, daily necessities and luxury goods that cannot be produced on Jupiter for the time being. Pirates like these very much.
"The second one is the minerals mined by small companies and small colonies in the asteroid belt. Sometimes the mines of large companies are also looted. Mercenaries of large companies often go to encircle and suppress pirates just like us."
Wang Ping'an: "How will they cash in after they robbed these things?"
Lieutenant Colonel: "They don't cash out. The original pirates were private pioneers who were unwilling to repay their pioneering loans. For them, being able to stay in the universe and maintain their own survival is the whole meaning. Everything is for survival.
"After the birth of the original pirates, the composition of pirates has become more and more complex. There are criminals who are being hunted on the ground and therefore escape to outer space, speculators who are eager to find new opportunities in outer space, and those who pursue excitement.
Being young and wanting to practice their ideals in space, with such complex elements, sometimes the pirates’ actions cannot be judged logically.”
Wang Ping'an shook his head: "But they must have a way to cash in, otherwise how would the pirates get the new weapons and equipment?"
At this time, Clement, who was sitting in front of Wang Ping'an's partner, looked back at him and said: "There is a saying without evidence that pirates are actually dogs raised by big companies. When they need to adjust their stock prices or cope with the review of the Securities Regulatory Commission,
When the time comes, pirates will attack their cargo ships or mining areas.”
Wang Ping'an said "Oh": "It sounds quite reasonable."
Gong Chuanguo also turned back to join the conversation: "There are even more outrageous legends, saying that pirates are raised by our space force to collect military expenses."
Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai coughed and interrupted the following conversation: "Okay, we can't control this. Anyway, pirates exist, and we want to encircle and suppress them. It's that simple.
"After introducing our main combat methods, I want to introduce to you some particularly ferocious pirates. When encountering them, you must be careful and careful. If there are no veterans around, you must make sure your own survival is your first goal.
"First of all, the first person I want to introduce is the pirate captain Gila Mirer. I had already briefly introduced him to Wang Ping'an when we were at the factory.
"His most obvious feature is that his phone is designed in the shape of a human."
Abdul: “Isn’t that crispy?”
"It's very fragile. In fact, we have damaged its aircraft many times, but we have never succeeded in killing this bastard. When you encounter him, remember not to underestimate the enemy just because he has activated a personal mecha!
"The second pirate to watch out for is..."
In this way, Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas introduced the vicious pirates on the list of the Space Force to the recruits one by one. To be honest, Wang Ping'an always felt like he was telling the story of the Water Margin.
He did not express this idea, but silently took note of the characteristics of these pirates.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the lieutenant colonel had almost finished the introduction.
"Okay, today's study is almost done, let's dismiss."
After saying this, Wang Ping'an stretched and stood up. Looking to the side, he happened to see Angeli stretching too.
Wang Ping'an stared at it intently.
Angele smiled: "Haven't you seen enough?"
"That's different. I used to watch it without gravity. Let me tell you, I can watch you stretch your body under gravity. I can watch it a thousand times and never get tired of it!"
Angele patted Wang Ping'an.
At this time, Gong Chuanguo called Wang Pingan's name: "Wang Pingan! There is a video message sent from your home and it has been sent to the detachment's main mailbox. You can download it on your mobile phone!"
