What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Thousands of miles away.

The White House.

The curtains in the room were drawn, making it somewhat dim.

"WHY!"

The commander-in-chief looked at the group of people who came to report, and was filled with impotent rage!

"Tell me why!?"

From the moment the situation at sea became tense, the commander gave up playing golf and came to the White House to take command.

That is, from that moment on.

He and his staff were treated like ordinary people.

Two carrier strike groups, along with almost all the combat power in the Asia-Pacific region, spent an entire afternoon trying to provoke an enemy, but they didn't even see one.

Before leaving.

The USS Reagan was also sprayed with fuel in a near-humiliating manner, rendering it completely incapacitated.

This is the first time since World War II.

"Our main fleet has been attacked, but I don't even know who the enemy is."

The leader was a very impulsive person.

"Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Is this what the world's leading superpower should be like?"

The words fell.

The defense minister immediately stood up and later tried to make amends.

"Judging from the pictures taken by the USS Reagan."

"The plane that attacked us must have been one that had never been seen before."

"We have urgently summoned experts from Boeing and Lockheed Martin to identify it."

"The preliminary assessment is that this is a hypersonic drone with stealth capabilities."

? ? ? ?

? ? ? ?

Upon hearing this...

The commander looked up in disbelief.

He was not surprised by what the minister said in itself.

Instead, he was utterly shocked by the stupidity of the incompetent subordinates under his command.

They all broke through at low altitude.

Do we really need you to hold meetings to analyze this?

Anyone with even a basic understanding of military affairs would recognize this as a hypersonic drone.

"nonsense!"

"I want to know why!"

"How could they suddenly produce such an aircraft without us being prepared?"

In modern warfare, equipment is the deciding factor.

therefore.

Having intelligence on equipment is also an extremely important part of the confrontation.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

When you know nothing about your opponent's equipment, it's hard to have a chance of winning.

Specifically regarding today's matter...

If they had known about this equipment beforehand, they would most likely have avoided trouble and instead tried to evade its attacks.

then.

All eyes turned to Oldman, who was in charge of intelligence.

As the head of CAI.

He felt extremely wronged in the face of the impending catastrophe.

"Your Excellency, we have been aware of Dongda University's Yunji project for some time."

Commander: "If you've noticed it, why aren't you taking it seriously?"

"We took it seriously, but..."

Oldman had no way to express his grievances.

"We just didn't realize that the University of Tokyo's aircraft research and development level was so high."

"From the moment we learned they were developing the aircraft to the test flight, the speed was simply too fast."

"In fact, we are also actively responding and have launched the Pegasus Project."

"But they were just too fast..."

The commander remained silent for two seconds upon hearing this.

Suddenly I looked up.

"You mean to say that our once-proud aviation industry has fallen behind?"

"..."

"..."

An endless silence filled the room.

Only the heavy breathing of these old men still echoed in the room.

No one was willing to answer the leader's question.

But everyone has a clear answer in their heart.

The answer is absolutely yes.

The launch of this project, known as Yunji, likely signifies a complete shift in the balance of power in the equipment manufacturing industry, with the scales even beginning to tip towards the East.

Even the last jewel in the crown of industry is about to be lost.

For a leader.

These are even secondary.

Most importantly, this aircraft is so powerful that it has a high strategic deterrent effect.

At least.

From then on, the University of Tokyo had another means of operation.

In addition to being unable to intercept missiles, they also have an undetectable and uninterceptable aircraft.

What if one day this aircraft were to be loaded with six nuclear warheads on its six heavy-load hardpoints, take off from its homeland, and then disappear into near-space...

Then the whole world will be plunged into panic.

God knows where he'll fly to?

With this deterrent in place, the leader could no longer stand tall when facing the University of Tokyo.

Just then.

Wood, who has always been considered a staunch hawk, suggested: "Your Excellency, the University of the East did not inform its neighbors in advance about this test flight."

"They even deliberately provoked our fleet on the high seas."

"We have a clear chain of evidence."

"I think we can seize this opportunity to give them a good beating in the media."

"This can be considered a strong counterattack on our part."

The commander suddenly looked up: "Have you been drinking?"

Wood: "No, I never drink during work hours."

"Then why would you come up with such a stupid idea!"

The commander was also impressed.

"At this point, you take the videotape and go looking for trouble with them, claiming they provoked you?"

"Doesn't that mean we're admitting the end of our hegemonic system?"

"Are you kidding me!"

The commander is old.

But an aging Porsche is still a Porsche.

My brain works better than others.

Any news of the current standoff at sea will only send one message to the outside world – China is not afraid of the United States.

Regardless of who wins or loses in the subsequent confrontation.

If China dares to confront the US, then the US has lost.

Although the leader knew that his power was already very weak, it was just a thin layer of paper.

But the one who breaks through this barrier must not be oneself.

"Listen to me regarding this standoff at sea!"

The commander gave the order.

"No one is allowed to bring this up on their own initiative, and even less is it allowed to initiate a larger-scale discussion!"

"If the outside world or the media mentions it, we should gloss over it and not make a big deal out of it."

"Once the outside world becomes aware of what's happening in the Pacific, our stock market will crash below 10,000 points!"

...

...

……

After receiving the commander's strict orders, the top leadership would make thorough arrangements.

However, no matter how meticulous the planning, it cannot withstand the media's in-depth investigation.

Especially this time.

The commotion in the western Pacific is enormous.

The radars of all the surrounding coastal countries underwent an apocalyptic baptism.

The radars of several nearby island nations even started smoking on the spot.

Even the media, using their toenails, could guess that something big was happening at sea.

So everyone was eager to show off their skills at the White House press conference the next day.

Especially mainstream media outlets like the Xinxiang Times and the Post.

They had already guessed the outcome.

Needless to say.

This time, the mold outbreak in the Pacific Ocean has dealt a heavy blow to Tokyo University.

This provides an opportunity for the media to launch another wave of attacks.

They've already prepared the press release, and they'll release it as soon as the press conference ends.
