Near Nagata-cho, Japan.

Cheeky!

Luxury cars flocked to Sukeburo, which had been quiet for a while.

In the beginning, it was a Japanese restaurant mainly used by politicians, so it is not difficult to guess the identity of the car owners.

The owner of the restaurant, taking a break outside, ran straight through the back door alone, and soon stood at the entrance and met familiar faces.

“Welcome, Abe-san.”

“It’s been a while, Daisuke. The Prime Minister will be here soon, so please prepare a meal in advance. Oh, and for a while, please don't let anyone near your reservation room.”

Daisuke immediately bowed his head and turned around.

Abe's face as he passed by was hardened.

From experience so far, Daisuke had a gut feeling that their gathering today was not at the standard social level, and he was very excited at the thought that his restaurant might become a place that will go down in history.

Druck!

Meanwhile, Abe, who was waiting for the prime minister with his fellow ministers in the room, got up as soon as the door opened.

The prime minister, who appeared with a characteristic smile, immediately gestured for a seat and sat down, and immediately opened the door to Abe.

“I got a report from the secretary, but isn’t it too hasty?”

“It's never in a hurry. If it goes on like this for a few more years, there will be a crisis for the entire Japanese industry.”

The Prime Minister had nothing to say about that assertion.

From semiconductors to batteries.

Moreover, Korean companies are slowly taking over the automobile industry, Japan's main industry.

It is not certain when, but it is true that he also felt a sense of crisis.

“As the Prime Minister knows, Ssangyong Motor, which was acquired by the Jaewoo Group a few years ago, is dominating the North American market at a tremendous speed. In addition, the electric vehicle company they established in the United States is also planning to enter the market in earnest soon. Meanwhile, all-solid-state batteries. We cannot guarantee the fate of Toyota, which is in its second heyday, if electric vehicles are put aside right now, and hybrid vehicles based on them are released.”

Abe looked at the prime minister's hardening expression and added his words.

The prime minister's gaze turned towards him.

“Hybrid, even so, an electric vehicle is not a half system that does not have the proper infrastructure yet. Will it compete with the internal combustion engine market?”

“It’s something you don’t know. If the electric vehicle is equipped with the all-solid-state battery Jaewoo recently developed, it will far surpass that of the internal combustion engine in terms of efficiency, so building the infrastructure is only a matter of time.”

“Isn’t that a bit too much of a trade ban?”

“The examples I give are only limited to the automotive industry, but the real industry damage is even worse.”

“·················ogue.”

The prime minister looked at him without a word.

It's like trying to cover all the cases.

After taking a deep breath for a moment, Abe continued.

“Take Misbishi as an example, and since last year, the power turbine market has been gradually taken away by metallurgy in Jaewoo. The shipbuilding sector is also in a situation where Korea will completely take the lead. And not to mention the semiconductor field and consumer electronics.”

"Hmm······."

The prime minister turned serious again.

As if trying to put a wedge, Abe continued his speech again.

“According to the report of the Misbishi Economic Research Institute, after six years, Japan will outperform Korea in machinery and some materials. And it's called chemistry. However, in reality, the material part is still being eroded by a company called Jaewoo, and the reality is that the chemical sector cannot be guaranteed if this is the case, but if we do not take action now, it will be too late.”

“That’s why you have to cut the buds earlier….”

The prime minister inadvertently tried to spit it out, but then closed his lips again.

Even Abe fully understood what he was trying to say.

He made excuses with a shy face.

“It was not our fault for the failure of the Cabinet Investigation Agency at the time. It’s because Russia is in the middle.”

“It’s done. It hurts my stomach to mention that case again. By the way, do you have any concrete plans for action?”

Abe nodded his head at that.

People's eyes turned to him at once, and he immediately opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Korea's biggest weakness is the equipment and some materials needed for the industrial sector. In particular, in the field of industrial robots and factory facilities, we are almost dependent on Japanese companies including Fanuc. So, I would like to use that part to do as much damage as possible. If possible, it would be good to impose financial sanctions.”

“Should we stop exports of robots and machinery to Korea?”

"That's right."

“But on what basis?”

“Isn’t it enough to create a basis for it?”

“·················ogue.”

The prime minister fell into thought again.

The words that came out soon were caution against armed conflict.

“I’m just saying this, just like before, don’t even dream of provoking Dokdo as an excuse.”

“Yes, of course. If you look at the current tendency of the Korean government, if there is another provocation, it might really fire a smart cannon.”

“Ts. Is it his smart cannonball or what?”

“It’s not just that, the problem is that the level of South Korea’s military power itself is different from what it was before. In particular, they say that the supersonic anti-ship missile they recently developed is not at a level that our Aegis ships can defend, but I do not want to take the risk myself.”

Abe was upset as he spit out the words.

By the way, Japan's naval power and air power have overtaken Korea, but with only shells and missiles, it is no longer possible to guarantee the superiority of the naval power.

Where is the naval power?

In the case of KFX, which Korea has recently successfully developed, it is evaluated by military experts that it far exceeds the F-15J.

Sooner or later, it became the norm that the air power would be defeated by them, and it is even said that there is no one in the galaxy who can penetrate their air defense system.

What are the military provocations in the yard?

However, on the day of an all-out war, the South Korean Army, which landed with a baptism of ballistic missiles, is in a position to be pushed aside.

He shook his head to shake off his frustration, and then the Prime Minister tried to receive his promise over and over again.

“So there is no more forceful provocation. I wonder if there will be a real all-out war in the presence of the United States, but the current tendency of the Korean government is... Do you know?”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

The prime minister finally let out a sigh of relief at Abe's answer.

What he was thinking, he frowned and spit out the words like a complaint.

“Ttt, by the way, they said that the Aegis ships that Korea recently delivered to the military were built for the purpose of taking over the sea at all.”

“Yes, I heard that too through the generals of the US forces in Japan. He said that the strength of that single Aegis ship was enough to cover half of our 3rd Guards Army.”

“That is why I am now listening to the Minister’s proposal. Right now, there is only one ship, but if the number is increased to nine soon, the superiority of maritime power will be completely lost.”

Abe picked up his breath again at those words.

The prime minister's eyes were shining brightly as he looked up.

“Anyway, so. What are you planning to put forward as a cause?”

“How about that South Korea secretly provided sanctions-targeted goods to North Korea?”

“What else is that…….”

The prime minister's eyes widened for a moment.

Abe, who was looking through his bag as if he had prepared something, smiled and put some papers in front of him.

“This is the documentary evidence that a South Korean trading company exported goods subject to sanctions to North Korea through China. In particular, precision processing machines necessary for processing major parts of missiles. This is a total violation of HS85. I would like to use this as an excuse.”

“How did you get it?”

“It was not difficult to obtain. After all, the owner of the company is a person who has a close relationship with us.”

“·················ogue.”

The prime minister was still not understanding.

Abe, who had a grin on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said.

“There are still quite a few people in Korea who still want to maintain acquaintance with our Japanese government. The head of the company is one of them, and we've been secretly funding him. Hani, it is possible to create the case itself rather than just taking out a single document.”

“If you’re making a case, then you’re saying that you intentionally exported sanctions goods to North Korea through interest?”

"That's right. If you simply falsified documents, Korea will most likely recognize it, so it is better to actually export it altogether.”

The prime minister let out a laugh.

No matter how much he is a person who is pushing himself with the sense of the next prime minister, in some ways, he seems to be an existence with an aspect that rushes back and forth too much.

The prime minister, who seemed to have been thinking for a while, finally nodded and agreed with his proposal.

“Run. However, the enforcement of the Korean trader must be strictly enforced.”

“Don't worry about that. He's dead when he's dead, because he's not the one to betray us. Besides, there are quite a few Korean media who will help us when this plan is implemented.”

The prime minister also let out a smirk as if he was relieved by that point.

Beings who are slaves to money rather than the media.

The support fire they poured out was a corner he could trust.

"that······."

At that time, Kaede, who had been listening to the story the whole time, opened her mouth.

But soon, he was terrified of the gaze that was fixed on him, and he shut his mouth again, and finally, when the meeting was over and everyone left, he spoke to his subordinate ministers who were by his side.

“Do you understand that?”

“What do you mean?”

Ministers expressed their doubts at the sudden remarks of the Minister of Home Affairs.

“The end of economic sanctions. Isn’t that what A usually does to E.”

"right."

“By the way, we are clearly Eul on the surface. I mean, does it make sense to say that we impose economic sanctions in that field?”

“·················ogue.”

“It is true that Korea is inconvenient if they block the export of Fanuc, but that does not create a desperate situation. Because there are other sources of import besides us.”

“That’s right…….”

“The question is whether the economic sanctions will be effective in that field.”

“But the Korean industry is already accustomed to our products. Habits are scary corporations, but it's not easy to change them now. In addition, if the facilities are diversified, the operating efficiency of the factory will also decrease.”

“I told you. It's just uncomfortable, not desperate. Isn't it a problem that can be overcome in just a few years if you dare to take it? Then I wondered if it would be effective as a sanction.”

“·················ogue.”

“Moreover, financial sanctions are the same. No, our bank is also having a hard time finding a high-credit company to lend money to, so why not listen to the cabinet in the midst of a riot?”

“·················ogue.”

The impressions of the ministers who were listening to the story slowly frowned.

As soon as he glanced at the Prime Minister and Chief Cabinet Secretary Abe, who were glancing ahead, he whispered.

“Ah, so Abe-san doesn’t know that, so why don’t you claim it? Even if that were the case, he must have an idea.”

“You said Speaking of blows, they don't have anything but a little more money. The truth is, why don't you think that we might be hit even harder? Then, if the other side also offers to set fire to it, will you be able to afford it? I mean, do you want to know how our industrial structure works now?”

“·················ogue.”

The official rolled his eyes at those words.

After a while, he frowned and spoke with a cautious attitude.

“So, now Abe-san is making a big mistake?”

“I don't know who pumped it, but I'm sure you're mistaken. Or it could be that you are blinded by the immediate sanctions and do not think about the consequences.”

“Then we have to stop.”

“My friend, what if I get caught by Abe-san? It is a known fact that he will become the next prime minister in the atmosphere of the day.”

Kaede spit out those words and hurriedly followed Abe's direction.

The minister, who looked at him in an absurd way, shook his head and spit out his words.

“Then you better not talk. Damn, I don't know if I'm stepping on poop or not..."

******

"what do you mean? Fanuc refuses to ship the equipment.”

As soon as I received the report, I headed to the conference room where the group's countermeasures meeting was in progress.

All the main characters in the group are already in place.

Representative Ahn, who made eye contact, stood up and said.

“Fanuc is not denying it, the Japanese government is blocking it. I got a call this morning from Fanuc, Japan, saying that the government has completely banned the shipment of robots and equipment to be delivered to the battery factory.”

“·················ogue.”

FANUC is a global leader in processing machinery and automation. And it was one of the industrial robot manufacturers.

And we are using their products a lot in the process of expanding our factory.

But suddenly the Japanese government blocks the supply?

I thought it was a familiar pattern, so a spark flew out of my mind.

“Why? Why is the Japanese government blocking shipments?”

At that, CEO Ahn suddenly walked towards the TV.

Powered up soon after, he pinned the channel to the news program.

[This morning, the Japanese government raised suspicions of illegal export of goods prohibited by South Korea to North Korea. The Japanese cabinet is claiming that most of the illegally exported items were stolen from Japan and exported to Korea, and as promised by the international community, Korea has decided to exclude Korea from the white list until the allegations are resolved. Sanctions are not just limited to export restrictions. In the future, it will also prevent borrowings from Korean companies that are using the low interest rates of Japanese banks...

Again, this was in line with Japan's economic sanctions before the return.

If there is one thing that has changed, it is that they are targeting the equipment field rather than semiconductor materials.

Well, as in the semiconductor process of this era, high purity nickname gas is not required, so there is no reason to touch that part.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

I immediately, without thinking, directed the representatives of each affiliate.

“Report on the facility status of the factories that are being expanded by each affiliate. And Vice Chairman Jin Hyeon-cheol told me to immediately contact Siemens and send a foreign export manager.”

“Why Siemens...”

Hyuncheol asked, seemingly puzzled.

“This is not going to be easy. So, even if it costs more money, you will have to secure the equipment first. In the future, all of Jaewoo’s facilities, which depended on Fanuc, will be supplied by Siemens, so if you prepare a business agreement and ask them to come in, you will get a quick reply.”

“·················ogue.”

At those words, all the representatives rolled their eyes.

Why do I not know how it feels?

What we use Fanuc's products is performance and performance, but price and supply. And it's because of the smoothness of the follow-up measures, now I'm just saying I'm going to overturn it all.

However, experience has shown that this decision will not be overturned for the time being.

So, of course, it is better to act quickly.

“Even if new facilities are being expanded or built, what if existing facilities cause problems?”

“You don't have to worry about the existing equipment, because we are going to make sure that the problem does not last until the old equipment causes problems.”

“·················ogue.”

Hyuncheol rolled his eyes at those words.

Without hesitation he was speaking again.

“But, contrary to expectations, if it becomes a long-term battle... There's nothing you can do then. The only option is to replace all the equipment that is having problems.”

“In that case, the money will be replaced…….”

“Of course, there will be a lot of bleeding for a while. maybe even trillions of dollars. But when things get like that, it's up to you anyway. Therefore, it is better to change the system quickly than to waste more time and money stuck on it.”

“·················ogue.”

The executives became dumb with honey at those words.

In fact, even I don't want to imagine such a thing.

In the end, in order not to deteriorate so much, this work must be finished in the shortest time.

“Anyway, keep in mind that this is an emergency system for the time being. By the way, how long do you think the expansion of the battery plant acquired by Samjong will be delayed if the supplier is turned to Siemens?”

“I think it will be delayed by about five months. To be honest, this is possible because Siemens is so well-managed in production.”

“Then what about the Jaewoo commercial vehicle?”

“It doesn’t seem to matter.”

Fortunately it was.

If the battery and even the automobile factory were affected, the faucet might have turned around.

By the way, I can't stand still if they're going to have a self-reinforcing water.

“President Lee?”

I immediately left the meeting room and called Younghoon Lee.

As if there was an emergency over there as well, a commotion echoed through the receiver.

-Did you not hear anything from the government? The news is so sudden that even our Strategic Planning Office is in a state of perplexity.

“Again, there is a problem. Anyway, we will see each other.”

- Now?

"Yeah, I think we'll have to work together a little bit on this one."

-·········.

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-140
