True that without Tatsuya it would have been a great success for them. Maybe they will slightly trouble against Juumonji and Misaki (?). But they probably at best can shelter the students and get them away safely. The 101 likely to face a massacre or heavy suffer without those instant heal spells. And all data may be lost as Miyuki and Mizuki are not there to prevent it. So it's not as illogical as it seems
However on the entertainment value, the lack of response from the GAA in this case is a real disappointed. How's about capture the end with a mean looking dude saying " Oh, they can do this TOO", or " Now they showed their secret weapon, about time we show ours". Don't even need to be from the LN, just be there to indicate that there's some real mean bad boss out there.
Aside from the fantasy level, not sure if they explains in the novel, but the lack of understanding in geopolitical of the author really bugged me. And hey, i don't mind the take of "Japan against the world" that they were bringing. Fantasy novel tends to have these around, no problem. But seriously real world struggle was so hard to solve, because some idiot aside, conflicts are prevented from further escalations at every level, due to mutual interests. Honestly i won't expect much from someone lazily enough to name something "The Great Asia Alliance" ( there is so many thing wrong with this idea that i think i can write a whole essay about it) but let's just skip to the main part, what should have been happened is: - the GAA try to steal up technology, kidnap or whatever. This was due to previous incident with Tatsuya leading them to find being threatened by unknown magic power. The lack of intel made them thinking Japan still haven't been able to replicate Tatsuya magic yet (cause they didn't know it was just internal politic ended up sealing him from it) and try to prevent it from happening or steal for themselves
- the attacks on students were aiming to kidnap some key politician kids for blackmail/ trade for intel
- remove those bloody brain in the box thingy. What the point of up the opponent power level when they are easily wiped out anyway
- after been driven off by Tatsuya, they still be able to capture some intels and believed they have gauge the strength of Japan army
- Japan allow the ship to leave, then dissolve it with Material Bust to pretend it's just an accident. Kinda do a "we both know what happen, but have no proof to accuse" to prevent escalation of the matter (see recently Ukraine conflict)
- The GAA staged a similar incident happens in the same time and blame the Yokohama incident as a Japanese false flag (as there is limited casualties to Japan side due to Tasuya). Accusing Japan of kidnapping Lu and that invisible guy.
- Fleet assembled, GAA demanded Japan answer within 12 hours or they will (invade? do we still fight war with invasion nowadays?) totally blockage of all trade routes and starve off Japan economy which depends much on import then
- Japan say fuck it with keeping Tatsuya secret, do the preemptive strike on the GAA fleet and stated that was to response against a clear act of violation and they were only self-defense
Still can big up their right wing agenda, but at least it's not as brain dead on international politics |
What you want is exactly what happens in the Light Novel.
Except the last 3 points since GAA would be dead if they do so. Since Japan bring their registered Strategic Magician, Mio- the fake Loli, into the scene to pressure the GAA into negotiation.
Beside, the losing side is never in any position to make demands, EVER.
