Chapter 62 Deserving it
Seeing the people in group B rushing out one after another, Angeli was startled: "Why? Why did you commit suicide like this?"

"Whatever it is, let's earn a few kills first." Wang Ping'an had already shot down a group B unit that was rushing over while speaking.

After the initial astonishment on the radio, it is now full of excited shouts from the crew of Team A: "I hit two!"

"I think of the battle in ancient times, what is it called, oh yes, Mariana shoots turkeys!"

"What is a turkey?"

However, Wang Pingan stopped the attack after taking another shot down, and turned off the engine, allowing the body to move forward under the influence of inertia.

Angeli: "Don't you want to take the result?"

"These aren't really murderous pirates, they're just some data, and they're piloted by friendly forces. What's the point of fighting them?"

"You were so excited just now that you wanted to earn a few kills?"

Wang Ping'an's spacesuit shook, probably shrugging his shoulders: "I thought so just now, but I lost interest when I heard the noise on the radio. Maybe I'm more rebellious? I don't like to follow the crowd? What do you think, comrade psychiatrist? ?”

"I only took psychology as an elective, and I don't have a medical license. If I had a license, I would be wearing a white uniform now."

While the two were talking, the turkey hunting competition on the battlefield was in full swing, and at the moment when Team A was killing wildly, a deep voice sounded in everyone's earphones: "Enough, stop the mock battle, I've seen enough This child's play."

**
A few minutes later, the members of Team A and B, who took off their helmets, lined up on both sides of the center line of the training ground. A rostrum rose from the ground, and Diao Youming stood on it.

"I'm very dissatisfied." Diao Youming started, "you can see to some extent that I don't want team B to win when I divide up like this. The purpose of my division is to see how you react when you face an enemy with a huge advantage. .”

Diao Youming's eyes fell on Fu Zhilong who was the first one who shouted "for victory" to rush towards the enemy plane and blew himself up: "So someone guessed it with their cleverness."

Fu Zhilong's first reaction was to smile smugly, but he immediately realized that Diao Youming's expression was not right, so he sullenly.

Diao Youming jumped off the rostrum directly, landed lightly under the extremely low gravity, then walked to Fu Zhilong's side with square steps, and said while circling around him:

"Why do you say it's clever? Because Fu Zhilong guessed my purpose correctly, but got the reaction I wanted to see wrong.

"He thought I wanted to see you die bravely, to see your consciousness. Humph, it's ridiculous, what's so difficult about choosing to hit an enemy plane in a simulated battle? You know you won't die. Even the simulation device can only be used for those who are in the state of impact. The simulation is just shaking the cockpit.

"This is not the case in actual combat. In actual combat, you will be glad that you died in an instant. If you don't die immediately, what awaits you is the torment that is worse than death.

“You hear the air leaking from the space suit, the futile operation of the self-healing system, the siren blaring.

"You feel the deepest powerlessness, blaming everything you can think of."

Diao Youming patted his chest lightly: "See this Venus? It was given to me because I didn't die after going through all this. When I come back, I will not only accept the award, but also undergo a careful psychological examination.

"Death on the battlefield is such a terrible thing. Simulators can't simulate it, and no matter how heroic you are in simulated battles, it doesn't mean anything.

"No, I'm not looking at your generosity to die. Now, Fu Zhilong, after I rule out a wrong answer, tell me, what is my purpose?"

Fu Zhilong: "See how we struggle in adversity?"

His voice was unsure.

Diao Youming: "No! It depends on how you strive for victory in adversity. Yes, Team A is very strong. It not only has talented students who are proficient in standard tactical procedures, but also ghosts who like to take unconventional paths. You are better.

"But the battlefield is not a thing that can be won by being strong on paper. The battlefield is full of surprises. Even for a team as strong as Team A, do you know how likely it is to take advantage of it?
"It's [-]%!"

Diao Youming pointed to Team A: "It's them! There will be flaws on the battlefield! Because that's the battlefield! What I want to see is your efforts to find this opportunity!"

Diao Youming took a deep breath, calmed his voice, then left Fu Zhilong's side, and jumped back to the high rostrum.

He scanned the audience and continued: "When the Space Force encircles and suppresses pirates, they usually have a superior force, but none of the pirates surrendered. If you show any flaws, they will definitely catch you! Because for pirates, it is life and death. moment.

"And the Space Force doesn't always have a force advantage. The pirates will ambush, and often do. In that desperate state, whoever catches the fleeting opportunity will survive.

"That's what I want to see. But what about you guys? Turn this into a performance art!"
"Although we finally won the Western army in the Great War, I really like the words of a Western general who said: 'We don't shed blood, we let the enemy bleed and die, and then use their blood to wash our tracks !'"

Just as Diao Youming finished speaking about the Western general, a boy in Team A shouted, "It's Patton! It's our American war hero! Uh, I mean, our California war hero!"

"Whoever told you to talk, you will consciously wash the toilet in the dormitory later."

"Yes!"

After dealing with the foreign boy who talked casually, Diao Youming continued: "So you guys behaved very badly this time, I...Wang Ping'an, do you have any questions?"

Wang Pingan: "Report! If team B's test is to see their reaction to a desperate situation, what is our team A's test? Is it to measure the speed of harvesting?"

"It's rare for you to ask a good question. The goal of Team A's test... is to not pay attention to anything. You are already good enough."

Wang Pingan frowned: "That's not right, you are not trying to induce us to be proud, and then let us be arrogant and lose, right? The content of the test is actually whether we can win or not, right?

"Our performance after winning Group B is the focus of the investigation, right?"

Diao Youming stared at him with eyes that could kill Wang Ping'an.

Wang Pingan: "Ah, I understand this look. It's over, I can't test it after I say it."

He scratched his head and added, "Mine."

Diao Youming: "I decided to change the content of today's simulated battle. The terrain just now. You have a group of 10 aircraft. The content of the drill is to search for the cunning pirate remnants in complex terrain. I believe that Lieutenant Wang Ping'an will perfectly play this cunning pirate Role."

Wang Pingan gasped.

All the people lining up around him looked at him with malicious intentions, showing malicious smiles, very malicious.

An Geli whispered next to him, "It serves you right."
