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

Everyone in the stands was stunned.

This includes Ning Shuguo, the organizer of this military training.

This was not part of his plan; his intention was simply for the students to march past the podium.

But now.

More than twenty cars lined up in two columns and drove past the rostrum in a grand procession.

The scene was absolutely breathtaking.

"What is this?! Qin Ze! Why is your class dressed like this?" Ning Shuguo was going crazy.

Qin Ze said casually, "Our class is relatively small, so we look too weak when we walk. That's why I thought we should use the equipment to make it look better."

"No, you're just using equipment to make a show of things," Ning Shuguo said angrily. "Then get your equipment ready! Why is it all cannons?"

You ruined my life!

Ning Shuguo's first thought was that someone wanted to harm him!

During my large-scale military training, some people privately joked that I was abusing my power.

Good guy.

Just give me twenty or so cannons.

Self-propelled! Towed! There are even guide vehicles!

Are you trying to give me a yellow robe?

Wu Changjiang squinted at the two men, suspecting they were putting on a show.

Wu Changjiang recognized all twenty-odd cars that drove past the podium.

This should be the equipment of the air defense battalion.

Thus, a not-so-good deduction came to Wu Changjiang's mind:

When you, Qin Ze, borrowed the equipment, you kept saying you wanted it for scientific research.

but!

When I saw this equipment, it was at your school's parade ground.

So!

Does your so-called scientific research actually exist?

Is it possible that you're just using borrowing equipment as an excuse to borrow it for military training?

Thinking of this, Wu Changjiang looked at Ning Shuguo with a livid face and said sarcastically.

"Old Ning, as a school principal, don't you have a bit too many troops under your command?"

Ning Shuguo knew this would happen, and quickly waved his hand: "Commander, I knew absolutely nothing about this!"

"you do not know?"

Wu Changjiang sneered.

"Why do I feel like you know too much?"

"You know Qin Ze has a lot of influence with me, so I specifically sent him to borrow equipment from me."

"You call it a research project, but I have serious doubts about whether your research actually exists."

Ning Shuguo was speechless: "Commander, you've really misunderstood me."

"Whether it's crooked or not, I only care about the results. Your university is using equipment from my war zone, and you can't just be so boastful."

Wu Changjiang threw a huge accusation at Ning Shuguo.

From a purely consequentialist perspective, that's how it is.

The only effect of borrowing this equipment was to temporarily fill the gaps in the military training performance.

Some principals are greedy for money, while others are greedy for power.

People like Ning Shuguo are playful.

They organize these big events just to grab attention.

If you're going to try to grab attention, do it yourself, don't drag me into it.

If others see this, how am I supposed to explain it?

The air defense battalion in the war zone is doing nothing but playing house with you.

Ning Shuguo immediately realized the seriousness of the situation: "It's not what you think, Qin Ze, say something to me!"

Qin Ze stepped forward lazily: "Commander, you're definitely overthinking it."

"Are you overthinking it?"

Wu Changjiang said angrily.

"A university's military training involving over twenty vehicles—what is that if not showing off and being overly ambitious?"

Qin Ze waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. It's true that the principal is ambitious and eager for quick success, there's no denying that."

Ning Shuguo: "???"

"But! This car is definitely not yours."

Qin Ze pointed to the equipment that drove past the playground.

"The university has absolutely no intention of using the war zone to show off."

Wu Changjiang laughed in exasperation: "What do you take me for? This equipment is clearly our army's current active-duty equipment!"

No, that's not true.

Qin Ze kept waving his hands.

"If you don't believe me, let's go down and take a look together."

"If this is equipment from your war zone, then don't say anything more, Principal Gaba will die right here!"

Principal Shuguo: "????"

Wu Changjiang: "Alright! Let's take a look! If this is equipment from my war zone, I'll hold them accountable!"

Although Qin Ze is showered with love and affection.

but!

Having been choked by the fumes for so long, Wu Changjiang was also getting a little tipsy.

He doesn't tolerate anyone, and he insists on being serious about this!

So he took Qin Ze's hand and walked down from the stands.

And now!

Besides the teachers and students on the playground, there were other people who witnessed this scene!

……

Three hundred kilometers above the ground.

A keyhole satellite's camera is pointing directly at a large area of ​​Xijing City.

Each photo is taken in real time, relayed by satellite, and eventually arrives at the NGA, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

This is a department specifically responsible for analyzing satellite images. It is usually headed by a vice admiral and reports directly to the Minister of Defense.

The current director is named Jones, an ambitious hawk.

this time.

Jones personally took on the role of head of the analysis team, overseeing the intelligence brought by Keyhole and the other lacrosse.

These two satellites have been relieved of all their missions and are now solely responsible for monitoring the northeast and northwest regions.

"Your Excellency, Director!"

"The keyholes have just been installed in the western area of ​​Dongda University!"

"A clear picture of Shangdu Town was captured!"

Jones's expression suddenly brightened upon hearing his subordinate's report.

Now he is almost certain.

There must be some conspiracy by Dongda in Shangdu Town.

Over the past month, the keyhole has repeatedly detected a large number of exposed weapons and equipment when it was peering over the roof.

There were also some armed personnel guarding the area.

Jones, as the director of NGA, has excellent intelligence analysis skills.

He had already anticipated the unusual activity in Shangdu Town.

"How was it? Was my judgment correct? Is the University of Tokyo building a new air defense base in Shangdu Town?"

The intelligence officer hesitated, "We cannot confirm this at the moment..."

"Why? Didn't they say they took a clear overhead photo?"

Intelligence agent: "Chief, you should take a look for yourself!"

Done.

The intelligence officer spread the photos out on the table.

This glance sent a chill down Jones's spine.

A dozen or so photos.

Although the shooting times were different, the footage was remarkably consistent.

The base contains only permanent facilities!

Those air defense vehicles and equipment vanished without a trace.

at the same time!

All the armed personnel inside the base have also disappeared.

"This isn't right!!"

Jones found it hard to accept.

"So many vehicles, all gone overnight?"

"Could it be that their base is just a smokescreen...?"

Before Jones could finish speaking...

The intelligence officer produced another picture.

"This is footage from the outskirts of Xijing City, fifty kilometers away from Shangdu Town, at the same time..."

"Judging from the footage, there are about a brigade of soldiers in this building that resembles a drill ground..."

"and……"

Jones's heart tightened, and he pressed, "And what?"

"Moreover, the equipment that disappeared from Shangdu Town seems to be here as well."

!!!

Jones took the photos, somewhat overwhelmed by the sight of them.

"Four thousand people! And more than twenty large vehicles!"

"This is a completely new situation!"

"Summon all the analysts responsible for the Tokyo area immediately!"

"They seem to be quietly amassing troops!"
