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

"Reporting, sir!"

Inside the Yokota base.

Almost all senior officers have been moved into the nuclear bunker.

Jojost's command center was subsequently moved here.

"The radar lost tracking signal in the 133 sea area, and the air defense department judged that the flying object was very likely to have exploded in this area."

After listening to his subordinate's report.

Jost immediately went to the map.

"Sea area 133... what's in here?"

The area around 133 on the map is a deep blue expanse with nothing but seawater.

To know.

Jost's military maps were drawn separately.

To facilitate naval operations, his maps even included depictions of the terrain beneath the sea surface.

The seabed here is flat, the depth is average, and there are no strategic locations such as trenches.

Jost couldn't understand why the University of Tokyo would fire a missile here; the location made no sense.

Just as he was struggling with this decision.

Yamauchi and Wada stepped forward.

He arrived at the nuclear fortress at the last minute and was the only commander from the Self-Defense Forces to enter the shelter.

Because as sons, they were not entitled to seek refuge with their father.

Yamauchi and Wada were able to enter the nuclear fortress because Jost needed someone to relay messages in order to conveniently command the Self-Defense Forces.

Therefore, Yamauchi Wada's tone was very submissive.

"Commander, is there any possibility...?"

"The purpose of this launch by the University of Tokyo is deterrence."

"So they chose a sea area that wouldn't have any impact?"

The sea area at 133 was completely empty.

The warhead exploded here, just like an experiment.

Intercontinental ballistic missile tests like these are generally not just scientific in nature.

Most of them are driven by strategic considerations.

Because if this weapon were to be test-fired, it would undoubtedly cause a global upheaval.

Jost also leaned towards the judgment of the experiment, rather than live ammunition.

But he couldn't quite understand it.

Whom is the University of Tokyo trying to deter by conducting a test launch at this time?

He then looked at Yamauchi and Wada: "Have you guys offended someone again recently?"

Yamauchi Wada instinctively denied it: "No."

"Are you sure you haven't made any provocative moves like visiting a shrine to the dead?"

Yamauchi Wada: "Really, no."

"That's strange..."

Jost was completely baffled.

Under normal circumstances.

The test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile is definitely meant to demonstrate a stance.

This is usually an expression of dissatisfaction.

However, recently, the US has been busy with domestic affairs and hasn't had time to deal with the University of Tokyo.

So the University of Tokyo shouldn't be angry with us.

As for their daily lives, they only talk about it.

Even if they did something really outrageous, they probably wouldn't need an intercontinental ballistic missile to scare ordinary people.

"Could it be that they changed their strategy purely to assert their dominance?"

As the highest-ranking commander of the US forces stationed on the island, he was the emperor in his daily life.

Jost could no longer see the situation clearly.

But Yamauchi and Wada, who were by his side, didn't care about any of that; he was only filled with righteous indignation.

"Commander!"

"Whatever their reasons for launching this intercontinental ballistic missile, it is unforgivable."

"First of all, they brazenly test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile without any justification, which is a provocation against international security."

"If a miscalculation occurs, the whole world could be plunged into nuclear war."

"Secondly, they did not provide any prior notice or warning before the launch."

"This missile flew through the defense zones of at least five countries; this is an intrusion into the territory of our neighboring countries!"

Yamauchi and Wada were furious.

As a small country, it was so close to Tokyo University.

Even when the other party does nothing, I live in constant fear and anxiety.

Not to mention that he shows off his muscles every now and then.

Today's events have almost scared me to death.

The only saving grace is that they are not alone.

With the US as their daddy, they can at least act like bullies.

"Commander, their blatant challenge to the international order and disruption of regional peace must be condemned."

"I suggest that all countries along the Belt and Road immediately send letters to the University of Southeast Asia, demanding an explanation and an apology."

"If necessary, we will set up an investigation team to hold them accountable."

Jost nodded upon hearing this: "You're right, I'll leave this matter to you to take the lead."

"Now that the crisis has passed, we have all returned to our posts."

"You should go and question the University of Tokyo through diplomatic channels as soon as possible."

Thinking he had Jost's support, Yamauchi Wada immediately stood up straight: "Thank you, Commander."

After saying that, he left the nuclear fortress with his bowed legs.

The moment his feet stepped out of the nuclear fortress.

Jost's aides then stepped forward and asked:

"Sir, are we really going to question the University of Tokyo?"

Jost gave a cold laugh: "Do you think that's possible?"

"I don't think it's a good idea..."

Jost: "That's it."

"Yamachi Wada's brain must be full of shit."

"The University of Tokyo just launched an intercontinental ballistic missile."

"He was about to go and confront them, and I don't know where he got the confidence."

Jost had a plan in mind.

If the University of Tokyo had launched a rocket, he would have at least made a show of condemnation.

But the missile launched by the University of Tokyo was an intercontinental ballistic missile, and one that was unstoppable.

In this situation, saying even one more word would be suicidal.

The purpose of the University of Tokyo launching this missile is no longer important.

Importantly, within range, no one can defend against this missile.

Jost knew that the fundamental law of this world was the survival of the fittest.

He would never provoke a country that could kill him with a single punch.

"Send a telegram to Central Command!"

"The weapon tested at Tokyo University this time is the latest model, and all parameters are unknown."

"Extremely fast speed, extremely complex trajectory, almost impossible to intercept."

"Based on the current data, this test launch is very likely a conservative version of a new weapon."

"Given the power of this weapon, it is recommended that headquarters take a low-key approach and avoid provoking the University of Tokyo."

"We will continue to investigate the origin and specific characteristics of this weapon."

The staff member quickly jotted down Jost's orders and turned to leave.

From the opposite direction, another aide quickly approached.

"General! A call from Stennis Space Center!"

Jost glanced at his staff, feeling somewhat displeased.

Stennis Space Center is home to the Weather and Ocean Command.

Normally, it just broadcasts weather and sea conditions, assisting the fleet in its missions.

Weather was not the most critical condition for the troops, so Jost did not pay much attention to it.

"The University of Tokyo just launched an intercontinental ballistic missile; I don't have time to listen to their meteorological nonsense..."

A staff member interrupted, "It's an urgent call from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Level One Alert!"
