Chapter 26: JSDF Headquarters
Chapter 26: JSDF Headquarters
"Ahahaha, hahahahaha," Xin started laughing at the narration of Yamamoto and Nen. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. This was what exactly happened to them.
They were curious enough that they reached near the census office to get information about him. After telling Xin the aftermath and their frustration from this event, Yamamoto asked Xin to tear and open the last envelope.
After knowing everything, Xin was sure that the last envelope wasn't related to him and his family's biodata, 'it must be something else,' was the idea in his mind. And as predicted, it was a letter written by the Head of the JSDF research department, directly to Xin, requesting him to provide assistance in some matter that they have been facing problems to deal with.
After knowing his identity, they hadn't mentioned any remuneration in the letter, and instead they were asking him what he wants as a remuneration.
Xin smirked after reading the letter and got some ideas of what he wanted as remuneration.
"Mr. Yamamoto, I am ready, when do you need my help, and what sort of help?"
"Oh, good. Actually, I don't know what type of help and what works. After seeing your program yesterday, the head of the JSDF research department asked me to recruit you, on his behalf. But after you refused, he asked me to bring you as a guest developer."
"Oh!! Okay then. So when should I go, and where should I go?" Xin asked in excitement. He already knew what they were gonna ask him as a help, and he was ready to help them with that, and as a remuneration, he wanted to ask them to do something that he had been planning to do for a while.
"Let's go now then?! Or is there any problem?" Yamamoto asked in a polite voice.
"No, no problem," Xin replied. And with that, all of them departed for the JSDF hidden headquarter, which was built a thousand kilometers away from the city, literally in a different region.
On his way to the headquarters, Xin wanted to stop at one of the convi shops and buy something for his breakfast, but Nen didn't give him a chance to do so. From his home to the JSDF headquarters all this time he was talking with Xin about some of the problems that he had been facing in some of his other projects.
And to Nen's surprise Xin gave him a solution for each and every problem. Nen was getting excited as not only he got the chance to solve many of his problems that he was facing in his other projects, he was also getting a chance to visit the JSDF headquarters for the first time.
All this time Xin was maintaining some boundary between him and Nen. To be precise, the conversation was a one-sided conversation, where Nen was asking the questions and Xin was answering them.
Both Yamamoto and Nen could feel that Xin was keeping distance from them, but what was the reason they were not aware of that.
After Nen stopped asking, the atmosphere became awkward and all of them were staring at each other. Yamamoto was staring at Nen and Xin, Nen was staring at Yamamoto, and for Xin, he was staring out of the private jet, in which they were traveling at that time.
Just in half an hour they reached their destination and landed in the JSDF headquarters. The jet landed at an airport that was specially made for the planes and helicopters of the JSDF.
After landing at the airport they had to travel some fifty kilometers or so, to reach the headquarters where the head of the JSDF research division head was waiting for Xin to arrive.
Xin got out of the car and had a look at the JSDF headquarters. From a rough estimation, he could say that place was built on more than five hundred acres of land.
Starting from airports to weapon producing factories, chemical laboratories, training grounds, and so on. Anything to everything related to the army was present there.
At the center of this vast area was a huge institutional building covering at least 50 acres of land with glasses on its windows.
"Cool!!" Nen complimented Yamamoto on whether he can take some photos or not.
Yamamoto instantly refused his request and asked both of them to sign the contract of confidentiality first. According to which, if they leak any information or posted anything related to the army, their citizenship will be canceled and they will be declared anti-nationalists.
Nen shuddered at the thought of this and put his smartphone inside his pocket. On the other hand, Xin was showing no reaction and was looking here and there in search of something.
Yamamoto sent both of them to a special cabin where they signed the paper of confidentiality and agreed before the camera that they will abide by the laws and keep JSDF related matters a secret to the general public.
After coming out from the cabin, one of the army cadets took them to the screening room where they were checked head to toe for security purposes. After getting a green signal from the office on duty, Nen got a VIP guest ID card, while Xin got an MVIP guest ID card.
Once again, Yamamoto welcomed both of them to the JSDF headquarters and summarised all the rules for them. Both of them nodded after hearing him out and followed him inside the headquarters.
According to Yamamoto, the JSDF research division was at the farthest corner, and they have to cross the other facilities before reaching there. While he was acting as their guide and making them familiar with that place, suddenly a sound came from somewhere.
Both Yamamoto and Nen turned towards Xin and looked at him in disbelief. Xin facepalmed and got embarrassed for his actions.
"Pfft, hahaha, hahahaha," the two of them started laughing and asked Xin what had he eaten for his breakfast?
Xin laughed in embarrassment and said that he was going out for breakfast when they arrived and started to talk about those envelopes.
