Chapter 300: Acting like the Nouveau Riche
"This mission comes with great risk . We are not sure if the command ship of the Federation will arrive in time . If not, then you all might be in danger of getting destroyed . Of course, there is still an 80% chance of the former happening . The skill level of this bunch of pirates isn't too bad; from past experiences, it seems there is an ace level pilot amongst the pirates, hence you all must be fast, accurate, and ruthless . All of you must work as a team . Once conquered, hold your ground for an hour and try your best to delay the negotiations to allow the Federation to encircle the pirates . All of you must know, this opportunity did not come easy . The Federation requests that we get rid of the entire Router pirate group .
From Duncan's serious expression, it seemed like things weren't going to be that easy .
"Instructor, if that's the case, why don't we send the Special Forces undercover . Wouldn't the chances of winning be higher?" Milo asked .
"First of all, this is our first time executing this plan . Furthermore, our opponents are extremely cunning . They would definitely send their informants onboard into the spaceships . If they see that those onboard aren't ordinary students, they will definitely not make their move . Besides, if their informants cannot slip in, they will not carry out their plan . This is also why this bunch of pirates who have acted so atrociously have yet to be caught . This is a rare opportunity, and there are no excuses for failure!"
Duncan shouted, "This is the last test for all of you . Do you understand?!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
"Very good . In consideration of the earlier results, we have decided to appoint Wang Zheng as the temporary leader . Although it is temporary, within this period, everyone must follow his orders . I emphasize once again: this is not a drill, and every single one of you must observe strict discipline . Any mistake can cause the entire team to be destroyed . Not only all of you, even our undercover agents can possibly lose their lives because of this!"
Everyone's gazes turned towards Wang Zheng . Everyone knew that he was acknowledged through his performance . The outcome was unexpected, yet reasonable . Wang Zheng served as a compromise . Whether it was Achilles, Lear, or Lie Xin, they were able to accept it .
Wang Zheng stood up and saluted . "I guarantee that I will complete this mission!"
"That's good . Next we have tactical analyst Major Emma to brief you about the tactics and deployment arrangements . "
Finally, it was time for the real battle . Honestly speaking, the military did not plan to let them take part initially . However, after Meng Ao and the rest had found out about the training situation of other countries, they were a little worried . With the lack of a real physical battle, especially when it concerned life and death, they might not be able to go far .
The Solar System Federation had been too gentle and mild, whether it was with the outside world, or within their internal training . These soldiers had already lost their bloodlust .
Also, from an overall point of view, this group of people was a better choice .
Furthermore, even acting as a bait, ordinary students could not do it . There was no one more suitable than them, and it was even better if they did not have to escort them with actual soldiers .
As for acting like they were nouveau riche… . . . there were many of them that were genuinely born with a silver spoon in their mouths . There was no need to pretend at all .
This time around, no one asked if they were willing, or if they had decided to pull out . This was what they had been training for… unless they were afraid of death .
If that was the case, they should have gone back home, as this was a fundamental requirement of a soldier, to not fear death .
Regardless of which family they came from, these youngsters were not afraid of death .
To Lear, Achilles, and the rest, this was nothing .
Achilles had a certain level of understanding towards this group of pirates . After all, he shared good relations with the mercenaries . During their summer holiday training, they talked about it leisurely and naturally .
The Router pirate group was the slyest group entrenched around the Solar System currently . Their leader was extremely mysterious and ruthless, and he would choose to give up at the slightest signs of trouble . Also, he would make sure there were no mistakes once he had fixed his eyes on the target . There were rumors that he did not recruit from within the Solar System, but from other planet systems, just to ensure that there were no infiltrators .
Furthermore, once a traitor had been captured by the pirates, regardless of gender, he or she would probably regret ever being born .
After listening to Achilles' understanding of the current situation, the masses had a better picture of what was happening . This battle had no room for failure . The moment they failed, committing suicide would perhaps be a better option than being captured .
Don't expect the pirates to treat you according to the Milky Way Alliance prisoner treaty . It would be good even if you were raped before getting killed . The worst thing that could possibly happen would be the pirates not letting you die even if you wished to .
Although Taros wasn't on the same path as Achilles, this was something Taros had experience with as this was a common occurrence over at the Hades Republic .
It was not that Taros had a gloomy disposition, but rather he did not get along easily with these people that came from such an orderly world . The place he was from was chaotic and full of strife . It was as though they belonged to two different worlds . Thus, he would rather exchange benefits with people like Lear, because benefits were the most practical .
Honestly speaking, he did not view this mission positively . It was not because the team lacked the potential, but within this bunch of rookies, how many of them were actually fit for real battle?
Besides, Wang Zheng was the leader, a rookie who had never fought in a battle before .
Did the military get shot in their heads and had brain damage or something?
In the Solar System, a Galileo flagship, a type of luxury spaceship, was moving in the vast space .
This particular type of ship was a symbol of luxury . It could not hold many individuals, but each person had their own room and there were luxurious entertainment facilities . It had a swimming pool and a billiard room . If they were willing, they could even play a game of space golf .
It was exhilarating to hit the peculiar golf ball in artificial gravity towards the vast space .
Yet such a grand and luxurious ship was only serving a little over 30 students . Although it was a spaceship, its entertainment and comfort were first class .
If you had seen their school badge, Montgomery Finance College, anyone from the Solar System would know why . It was an academy for the children who came from noble families . Their funds come from the school's shareholders, who were also the parents of these children . They invested in the school through sponsorships, hence in Montgomery Finance College, their last concern would be not having enough funds .
