The next day.
In the morning.
At a US Department of Defense press conference.
The press conference was being held to answer questions on the recent public concerns about defense budget overspending and weapons exports. But before they could even answer a few questions, a female reporter from one of the well-known American media outlets raised her hand and stood up to ask a question.
The female reporter asked, "Is America's latest laser weaponry really ineffective against a smog-ridden China?"
The DOD official was clearly taken back. "Huh?"
The female reporter asked again, "Is China's kelp really the nemesis of our nuclear submarines?"
The DOD official was stunned. "What?"
The female reporter raised yet another question. "With China so smoggy, can our paratroopers parachute onto the mainland?"
Smog?
Kelp?
Parachute?
The entire venue was quiet!
The reporters at the press conference were speechless.
