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

The first fifteen minutes of the press conference.

Media preparation room.

Everyone was checking their equipment, carrying long lenses and short lenses, ready to seize advantageous positions.

Xu Qinghua, standing alone in the corner, appeared somewhat forlorn.

As a reporter for Xinhua News Agency, he only brought one cameraman with him.

They were the only domestic journalists at this press conference.

"Brother, we're about to enter a den of dragons and tigers."

The cameraman, seeing the aggressive foreign journalists, couldn't help but feel worried.

As Xu Qinghua's cameraman and assistant, he accompanied Xu Qinghua to numerous similar press conferences.

Every time the topic of the University of Tokyo comes up, it turns into a dirty water-splashing frenzy.

Not to mention this time.

"I've heard there's been a lot of commotion in the Pacific Ocean."

"It is now widely believed that the US may have intercepted our test-flying aircraft."

"One plane against two carrier strike groups, the odds are against them."

Xu Qinghua nodded: "I've also seen the relevant reports, but unfortunately there's no definitive statement from within China yet."

Cameraman: "I'm afraid they'll keep bringing this up later. You know how these foreigners are."

"I understand."

Xu Qinghua nodded.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

"In any case, we are the only warriors in this arena of public opinion."

"I can only do my best to uphold the reputation of my country."

Done.

Xu Qinghua picked up his backpack and resolutely walked towards the venue.

As a journalist, this wasn't the first time he had experienced a scene like this, where he would go even if there were millions of people against him.

Anyone who enters the venue.

He is the only one capable of defending the dignity of his motherland.

Although he is currently unaware of what is happening in the Pacific Ocean.

But he was determined to correct the misconceptions and argue his case based on reason.

As reporters continued to take their positions.

Caroline, the White House spokesperson, walked onto the podium with her long hair flowing down her back.

"Good afternoon, everyone. We will now begin today's routine press conference."

"First of all, I have some good news to announce."

"Starting tomorrow, the coverage of medical insurance will be expanded from the original..."

"..."

Caroline spent nearly three minutes explaining the health insurance policy.

However, there were no reporters taking notes in the audience.

Because this matter is already a done deal, it has no news value whatsoever.

Followed by.

Caroline then announced matters related to CPI data and non-farm payrolls.

This is standard procedure for a press conference.

As the press secretary, she first had to stand on the White House's side and broadcast official information in sequence before moving on to the Q&A session.

but!

Caroline did not mention anything about the Pacific Ocean until all the information had been released.

This can only mean one thing—the White House is not ready to disclose anything yet.

They may still be waiting for a major opportunity.

Or they could use this incident as a bargaining chip in their power struggle with the University of Tokyo.

but.

The eager reporters in the audience wouldn't let Caroline leave so easily.

During the Q&A session.

A reporter from the Xinxiang Times couldn't wait to ask.

"Madam Spokesperson, we have received information indicating..."

"Most of the western Pacific region was recently subjected to strong radar interference, which is suspected to be caused by electronic warfare."

Do you have any relevant information?

Caroline looked at the man busy asking questions and was slightly disappointed.

The higher-ups have given clear orders not to mention this matter on their own initiative.

But these domestic media outlets still lack common sense and insist on asking the question.

Fine.

If you dare to ask, I'll dare to lie to you.

Caroline had already prepared her response of feigning ignorance: "We haven't received any relevant reports yet!"

The words fell.

An uproar ensued.

Most of the reporters on the scene had already learned of the source and confirmed that something had definitely happened in the Western Pacific.

But the spokesperson said he knew nothing about it.

Why is that?

Xu Qinghua, sitting in the corner, was completely baffled.

Based on his understanding of the White House, they were definitely the kind of scum who wouldn't let things go no matter what.

It's a foregone conclusion that something will happen in the Western Pacific.

The fact that the White House is now denying it only shows that they have something bad going on in their hearts.

Xu Qinghua was on tenterhooks.

The fact that they are not releasing information at this time suggests that they have greater interests to pursue.

Otherwise, these white pigs would have already been attacking us head-on.

"Please let the Post's reporter ask the question."

To avoid further questions from the Xinxiang Times, Caroline called out the name of another reporter.

But she didn't expect that.

Everyone's attention was focused on the same question.

"Hello, Ms. Spokesperson."

"It is understood that earlier, a new type of aircraft took off from the west side of the University of Tokyo, and footage of it has already been released."

"Radar storm surge occurred in the Pacific Ocean after the plane took off."

"Is there any connection between these two?"

Caroline's expression tightened.

She hadn't expected the reporter to be so well-informed.

So she evaded the question, saying, "We don't have much information about the aircraft's test flight either, so I can't answer your question..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The reporter pressed for an answer.

"At the same time, the USS Ronald Reagan and USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carriers were mobilized and headed to the waters off Guam."

"Is there any connection between these two things?"

Caroline: "It was just a routine training exercise by the Navy."

"But madam, there are eyewitnesses who saw the USS Reagan undergo emergency repairs immediately after returning to port."

"If it hadn't been in actual combat, why would there have been such significant losses?"

"Radar from multiple countries showed that there was clear airspace over the Pacific Ocean for several hours."

"This can't all be a coincidence, can it?"

Looking at the reporter's aggressive demeanor.

Caroline was speechless.

Given the wide-ranging impact of this incident, it is difficult to simply cover up the truth.

The journalists had enough evidence to piece together the general events.

They just didn't know the outcome.

They naturally assumed that the Tokyo Metropolitan Aircraft Carrier Division and the US Navy were in a standoff in the Pacific Ocean, and that both carrier groups were active.

The mold will definitely win.

But that's not the case.

If Caroline reveals the truth, the journalists will be utterly astonished.

At the same time, the dominance of mold will immediately crumble.

Therefore, she could only evade the question: "I am not aware of the situation you described; the specific details need to be verified..."

Xu Qinghua watched as the spokesperson on the stage kept denying the allegations.

I thought to myself, this posture looks familiar.

When we were weak, we would avoid being asked pointed questions in this way.

But today, why is Caroline, who is always arrogant, representing the always arrogant United States, hiding?

Could it be that...?

What happened at sea was different from what everyone imagined.

Could it be that...?

That plane got a taste of success in its confrontation with two fleets.

That's not right!

What a huge difference! How is that possible?

Just as Xu Qinghua was racking his brains trying to figure it out, his cell phone suddenly started vibrating in his pocket...
