When all the mercenary squads had gathered on the third deck, Alex stepped to the front. As the commander of the battleship's air force, the mercenary squad here is his makeshift soldiers.

Alex scanned the mercenary team with a cold and serious gaze, and simply sorted out the formation.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, you have been assigned to the air combat group of the battleship 'Forley', and I am your Supreme Commander, Alex. The current situation is that our warship is honored to receive the first combat mission, and I hope you can complete it well. Do you have faith? ”

"Yes~!" The mercenaries replied neatly. It's not very impressive, but it's not bad for a multinational force that has just been assembled for a few days.

"The specific situation will be explained by my adjutant, who is also the tactical instructor of this strategic mission." With that, Alex sent a young female Bordos man in military uniform to the front of the mercenaries.

The woman has a plump figure, thick arms and thighs that match the aesthetic of most Bordosians, and a sexy fiery red hair, with a slight makeup on her face, but she looks refined and serious.

The female officer said in a rough voice: "I think everyone knows that we are now in a confrontation with the Aramis people, but we are not stationary, but we are moving with the city of La Rochelle. At the moment, our fleet will pass through an asteroid belt in the direction of travel, but this asteroid belt is also the first to pass through the Aramis side. Therefore, the General Command suspected that the Aramis would hide some troops in the asteroid belt and carry out flanking attacks on our troops. So, General Command ordered us to scout the asteroid belt. ”

There was a commotion among the mercenaries, and it was clear that different people had different understandings of this mission.

"Be disciplined!" Alex let out a deep sigh of clarity, frowning at the same time. The quality of these mercenaries is just too poor.

The female officer continued: "Because the current scanning of the asteroid belt has not found the enemy, but it cannot be ruled out that the other side has used anti-reconnaissance equipment." So our mission is simple, which is to go deep into the asteroid belt. Check these asteroids for enemy ambushes. We do not ask you to destroy as many enemies as you want, as long as you can detect the enemy, the battle will be considered successful, and our regular troops will be dispatched according to your reconnaissance information. Therefore, please do not fall into battle, report as soon as you find an enemy, and then return home. ”

"Damn! It turned out to be such a task! A mercenary said dissatisfied.

"That's good, at least we don't have to work hard."

"There is no oil and water at all~!"

The mercenaries reacted differently, which was also in Alex's consideration. After all, not every mercenary wants to be able to have a combat mission, and more people want to have some mission that can make some profits.

"This is just the first mission!" Alex took the officer's place and said, "We'll give each of you three thousand Bordos." War is imminent. There are more tasks to come, so you don't have to rush them. ”

Alex said this, and the crowd fell silent. A thousand yuan is not a small amount, after all, it is just a run to reconnoitre, and there is no great danger.

"Now let's start sub-districts, and each squad is responsible for a zone!" Female officers began to assign mission areas to each squad.

Falgon had been given an area within the asteroid belt, and they had two squads before, and they continued to explore further when neither team had spotted the enemy.

"Good luck!" Plymouth native Alexander said.

Falgun also agreed. After all, they only need to follow behind their companions for the first part of the journey, and if the first two squads do not encounter the enemy, they will not have a good chance of finding the enemy.

"All personnel have three hours to prepare, and our maintenance staff will adjust your mechs to the best condition! I hope you all get off to a successful start. The first mission went well! Alex cheered the mercenaries on, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.

"Disband!"

Hula! Like a herd of antelopes scattered by lions, the mercenaries scrambled towards the exit of the deck.

Alex and Huntington's eyes lit up. Keep an eye on each mercenary, paying attention to their details.

"That's not right! I didn't find anyone who might be an ace pilot! "Huntington was depressed.

Ace pilots are not so easy to see, no one will hang a sign on their chest. But that kind of master who operates mechs will have some small habits. From these details, one or two can be judged. But neither Alex nor Huntington saw it.

"You go on a mission first! Maybe this mission will find out. Alex patted Huntington on the shoulder and said.

"Hmm!" Huntington left deck three a little depressed.

After three hours of preparation, Li De and the others were not idle.

Went to the arsenal and got some equipment. It was found that the Bordos were not so generous, and some regular supplies could be obtained, but the combat uniforms and weapons and ammunition for space operations had to be purchased by themselves. Including the power source of the mecha reactor and the tracking missile, etc., these are all at their own expense.

If you really encounter the enemy this time, the weapons that are lost will be counted in the reward.

Ma Long calculated, as long as he hit a missile, it would be in vain.

"The army is so stingy! Or the Air Force! The fat man muttered.

"Save some use, it's a reconnaissance mission anyway, if you encounter an enemy, retreat quickly." Deng Zhiguo said.

"Use more laser cannons and laser cannons, and the energy source is more economical!" Dardanelle advised, "And the laser sword, that thing is the most economical. ”

"Humph! When you really save your life, see if you are reluctant! Wang Haorou looked at the fat man with disdain, and spent money to buy some sub-mother bombs and smoke screen jamming bombs, which were used when escaping.

Sub-munitions can explode hundreds of steel balls, which is the best way to deal with homing bullets. Smoke bombs, on the other hand, explode a smoke screen with metal foil to interfere with the laser cannon's attack.

As for the spacesuit in the universe, it is a must-have. In case of an accident in battle, it's a life-saving thing. However, the combat uniforms carried by everyone also have a certain life-sustaining system, which can last for a hundred hours in the universe.

After the personal equipment is ready, it is the state of the fighter and mecha. Although the battleship is equipped with some maintenance engineers and robots, it is still the most reassuring to look at yourself.

Li De and the others inspected the fighters and mechas, and did some maintenance with maintenance robots to ensure that they were all in the best condition.

The other mercenaries were doing the same thing, and the hangar was in full swing.

Falgon also piloted a Guardian IV mech, but after some modifications, he used a few bottles of good wine and an old engineer to get it, mainly to increase the energy storage of the energy shield and the power output adjustment of the thrusters. Although Fargon has a heart to be a hero, he knows his driving skills. Before reaching the level of an ace pilot, saving one's life is the most important thing.

Three hours passed quickly, and the mercenaries headed to their respective launch pads according to the number of the squads.

Li De sat nervously in the mecha, looking at the rows of mercenaries waiting to leave in front of him.

All kinds of mechs are like a mecha exhibition, waiting to be launched in a narrow passage.

This is their first space mission, and although there may not be combat contact, it is enough to make Li De very excited. Don't feel too good about upgrading the Cong Army to the Air Force!

It's no wonder that so many hot-blooded men fantasize about driving a mecha into space, manipulating this behemoth to move forward slowly, and waiting for departure already makes people's hearts beat faster.

Walking onto the electromagnetic launch pad, the gravity suddenly disappeared, and before Li De could get used to it, the powerful propulsion pressed him to the seat.

In two seconds, Li De seemed to feel that a year had passed, and the feeling of being oppressed by super gravity made him even stop breathing.

The electromagnetic accelerator instantly accelerated the mecha to a speed of nearly 100 meters per second and ejected the battleship. The ejected mecha continued to accelerate and flew towards its destination. (To be continued......)
