Black Flag Squad belongs to Seventh Rapid Response Fleet 35th Mecha Squadron, number 001.
35th Mecha Squadron has three teams, Mecha Team, and Black Flag Squad is the core force. It has always been the vanguard of the squadron, so it has the highest battle loss rate.
Wang Chen, the new member of the team, takes over the Ranger role of Black Flag Squad.
In Mecha Team, Rangers are very special beings. They are positioned as free men in the team and as hunters on the battlefield. They are independent individuals and are not entirely under the command of the captain.
In terms of authority, the rangers are only half a level behind the squad leader, on par with the deputy captain, and higher than ordinary team members.
In the tactical system, the rangers have a very high degree of freedom and can decide their position according to the combat situation.
Either support and assist, or charge into battle, the advance and retreat are basically controlled by yourself.
Due to the special nature of the role, the Rangers must be played by elite pilots, so that they can truly become a support to the team rather than a hindrance.
This is why Lieutenant Carter was extremely annoyed when he first saw Wang Chen.
They are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but they are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. If the Rangers are a pig, then it is entirely possible for Black Flag Squad to be dragged down and killed.
But when he learned that Wang Chen was A-Class Combatant, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
After the simple welcome procedure was completed, Lieutenant Carter first introduced the other nine members of Black Flag Squad to Wang Chen.
What surprised Wang Chen was that there were actually two female pilots in this Mecha Team!
Of course, women can serve as fighter divisions, but it is limited to physical factors. The number of female fighter divisions is very small. They mostly play sniper or command roles.
Black Flag Squad's two female pilots, one is a sniper and the other is a strike warrior. The latter is tall and burly, with very strong muscles, and is not inferior to any of her teammates in terms of physique.
In comparison, the sniper is much more petite and cute.
But Wang Chen will not be underestimated, because the combat rate of Seventh Rapid Response Fleet is quite high, and no pilot who can join Black Flag Squad will be a weakling!
On the other hand, the team members of Black Flag Squad are more curious about Wang Chen, the new Ranger.
Everyone can't imagine that such a young Wang Chen actually passed the A-Class Combatant certification.
And he is not yet a noble child.
If you look at the entire Seventh Rapid Response Fleet, you won't be able to find another genius like this!
Of course, since it has not been tested in actual combat, the team members of Black Flag Squad cannot be said to be in awe of Wang Chen.
His prestige in the team still needs time to be established.
After that, Lieutenant Carter personally took Wang Chen to visit various facilities in the camp and arranged his dormitory.
The conditions in the military camp dormitories are definitely not comparable to those in the academy, but pilots all start as non-commissioned officers, and the benefits they can enjoy are definitely much better than those of ordinary soldiers.
Wang Chen's dormitory is about 40 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. The equipment inside is not luxurious, but it has everything it should have, but most of it is old.
But considering this is inside a battlestar, these conditions are pretty good.
"Sergeant Wang Chen, according to the regulations, you have three days of rest."
Lieutenant Carter said to him, "Get familiar with the internal conditions of TK043 first. After all, this is your new home."
Wang Chen nodded. "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome."
Lieutenant Carter waved his hand and said, "We will be comrades in arms from now on. On the battlefield, military rank is not important."
Wang Chen felt that the other party's reason was there, but he didn't get to the bottom of it.
After Lieutenant Carter left, Wang Chen logged into Star Sea Network in his dormitory and sent messages to Akemi and Tang Mi.
The three of them have their own private group, and it is very convenient to communicate through the Internet.
In fact, if Wang Chen was just an ordinary soldier, or even a sergeant-level pilot, he would not have access to the external network in the military camp, and could only operate within the internal network of the battle fortress.
But the identity of A-Class Combatant gives him such authority!
And because Star Sea Network can be used normally, even though Wang Chen and his two girlfriends are hundreds of light years apart, there is no problem in communicating with each other.
Play even the most intimate fully immersive games.
In the next two days, Wang Chen walked around TK043 and gained the most intuitive understanding of this space fortress.
Although TK043 is a military facility, it is actually a large space city in which a large number of military personnel live, as well as personnel who provide services to the garrison and fleet.
There are all kinds of buildings such as hotels and shopping malls, and there are even stadiums and amusement parks. Apart from floating in space, they are not much different from cities on the ground.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Wang Chen officially began his military career.
He got a Combat Mecha that really belongs to him.
The SPB17 mecha code-named "Phoenix".
SPB17 is a standard medium-sized mecha, equipped with two PC5600 engines with a total mass of nearly ten tons. It is equipped with one 150mm High-Energy Particle Cannon and two 70mm-caliber close-in laser cannons.
And a Super Wave Ship-Slicing Saber.
Phoenix Mecha is characterized by high attack speed and fast defense. It is an agile combat type mecha. Imperial Army is equipped with a large number of equipment. It is a very mature model that has experienced countless battles.
Wang Chen had piloted this type of mecha at the combat training base, so he quickly became familiar with it. It only took him a few days to start participating in Black Flag Squad's daily training.
And quickly integrated into the team.
While mastering the mecha, the team members Wang Chen and Black Flag Squad also became familiar with each other.
Then everyone discovered that this talented pilot had no airs, never showed off his identity as A-Class Combatant, and was quite obedient to Lieutenant Carter's orders during training.
This made everyone have a good impression of Wang Chen, and after the training, they invited him to have a drink with him at the bar in the base.
The total number of combatants and logistics teams of the 7th Rapid Response Fleet exceeds 100,000. In order to provide everyone with channels for entertainment and relaxation, there are more than a dozen bars of various sizes in the base.
And each has its own characteristics.
Black Flag Squad The bar that the team members often visit is called "Old Sailor". It was opened by a retired sailor. Although it is not large in scale, the decoration and atmosphere are quite good.
The drinks inside are also very good, and the owner himself serves as the bartender.
"Give me a glass of Starry Sky Flame."
The training just ended that day, and Wang Chen and several other team members came to Old Sailor Bar as usual.
He sat down at the counter and ordered one of the most popular cocktails.
