I applauded the wisdom of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Even if I didn't say it, I was actually thinking about it too.

However, what is a little surprising is the way he speaks.

That tone is contrary to what he has been reprimanding for the army's excessive greed.

Maybe the place made you change your mind?

“So, what do you think, Chairman?”

I immediately looked at him.

As if reading my expression, he looked at me with a mischievous smile.

“I know what Chairman Jin is thinking. But this time, I have no choice but to side with the army. Considering the operation cost and convenience in the future, apart from other things, it is reasonable. That being said, when the next government comes in, I will be the first to go ahead with the project.”

At the end of the speech, Chairman Kim looked at Chairman Jung and me with meaningful expressions.

It's as if this isn't a stubborn thing for you guys. Does it look like you do?

When I saw that stubborn attitude, I immediately thought of how well I looked at just one person.

It is said that you bend your arms inward, but as a former Navy member, how easy is it to take care of other people's family before your own?

Moreover, for the purpose of increasing the true national defense power, the audacity of accurately setting the priorities of work and lifting it up really deserved applause.

“I have a meeting in the afternoon.

After that, Chairman Jung left first with the excuse of his schedule.

After the death of the previous president, the family problems were still complicated, and even though it must have been good news for him, his expression was still stiff.

“I am very concerned about what Hyeonu will do in the future. After the death of the previous president, I am concerned that if sparks scatter even to the rotem, the XK2 development business will be affected.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spat out words as he looked at Chairman Chung's back, who seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Contrary to history, even after the 1st Prince Rebellion, the Hyeonu family's skeletal struggle has been fiercely ongoing.

As a result, public concern was increasing, and perhaps the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was also concerned about it.

By the way, wouldn't Hyeonu's family power struggle really affect his business?

If that happens, I think I'll have to think a little bit about Rotem's fate.

Other than that, this is an issue that affects me as well.

No, not even military power.

“I’m saying this because it’s been said, but honestly, these days, I don’t have one or two worries.”

After how much time had passed, Chairman Kim Hae-woong threw out unspoken words.

When I looked up again with a desire for something, he mentioned the crisis situation that started in the United States.

“I think the real estate crash from the US will have an impact on our country as well. If that happens, I am concerned that the defense budget issue, which has just begun to stretch, will arise again.”

"I do not know······."

Actually, that was something I couldn't even predict.

There are so many things that have changed, so it is no longer a matter of knowing how this crisis will unfold.

Like the original history, will Asia suffer less damage from this crisis?

Or maybe this time we will be caught up in the torrent and stumble together.

One thing is certain, maybe this crisis could be another opportunity for me.

No, I'll have to make it an opportunity.

'Hmm······.'

[Jaewoo Group announced today that the second plant of Jaewoo Energy has started full-scale operation.]

April 1, 2007.

The full-scale production of all-solid-state batteries of Jaewoo Energy, which had been delayed due to Japan's recklessness, began in earnest.

Because of its infinite versatility, including stability, there are already hundreds of electronic companies around the world that have signed prior contracts.

Where is the electronics field? As demand exploded in all fields that require energy storage devices, including machinery, the increase in sales was almost called a revolution.

[Apple today said that it has decided to install Jaewoo's all-solid-state battery in its smartphone. In addition, Samjong Electronics is also using the same type of battery for smartphones that are scheduled to be released.]

In the world, the era of full-fledged smartphones has begun a little earlier than history.

Thanks to this, the demand for all-solid-state batteries that provide high efficiency and safety increased even more, and requests for expansion of the 3rd and 4th factories flooded in just a few months after the factory expansion was completed.

“How about considering the construction of an overseas production base?”

CEO Kim Young-gi made a proposal to overcome the current situation of Jaewoo Energy Solution, which cannot handle the influx of orders, by constructing an overseas base.

However, it was rejected due to the possibility of technology leakage, and under an agreement with the government, it was decided to invest about 10 trillion won in Pyeongtaek to build the world's largest battery factory.

“Have you been very open-minded in the relevant ministries?”

“It has to be. Second to the number of employees, the effect of inducing production alone is enormous.”

In fact, for me, that was also the main reason for opposing the construction of overseas factories.

Of course, due to the automation system, the employment inducing effect may be a little lower than that of other industries, but it is true that the effect on the related industry and the neighboring economic ecosystem is large.

Moreover, the next few years will bring a dark period for the global economy.

In other words, it is an unavoidable choice to reduce the damage to the national economy even a little.

“How is the launch of Tesla’s new model going?”

CEO Kim Young-gi pushed in a file as if he had waited for the question.

In the name of Everhard, dozens of new car development and plant expansion. And regular reports related to the acquisition of the electronics company.

Among them, what stood out was the all-solid-state battery pack to be installed in the new car, which contained a bit of an unconventional content.

“A 50% increase in energy storage capacity?”

“Yes, in the case of an all-solid-state battery, it is said that the energy storage capacity increases by about 30% as it is a product that excludes excessive use of separators. In that situation, if the cell is used in a pouch or honeycomb method, empty space can be used, so it is expected that the mileage can be improved by up to 50%.”

“Then you can say that it can travel up to 1200 kilometers on a single charge.”

"right. In addition, the charging speed is possible in less than 10 minutes, so it is said that it will be able to sufficiently encroach on the internal combustion engine-based passenger car market.”

“It would be. As long as the infrastructure is in place.”

“Yes, it is the infrastructure that is the problem, and it seems like that part needs to be discussed with US government agencies.”

The consultation with US government agencies was probably Eberhard's proposal.

He must have known best what was needed for a full-fledged commercial model to succeed.

The problem is that he doesn't have the foundation to push for such a large project.

So he's been making a tacit request to me through this document now.

‘It certainly needs the help of the U.S. government to have charging infrastructure across the country.’

Besides, it is a request that even I cannot ignore, as there is a high possibility that it will work in this country if it succeeds in the United States first.

"Okay. From the atmosphere, tell them that I will visit the US in person next year. In the meantime, he is telling me to pay attention to not only expanding the plant but also managing the acquired electronics company. Well, you should tell Ryan in advance to try to get in touch with the politicians.”

“Will you do the lobby?”

"That's right. Since cooperation from politicians is essential in infrastructure construction, it will not be easy to solve the problem without lobbying.”

I finally decided to comply with Eberhard's request.

To be honest, it won't be easy considering the interference from the automakers who have a huge influence on American politics, but what can I do?

In the end, it's a problem you have to face at least once.

'wait!'

At that time, something suddenly flashed through my mind.

The real estate crisis in the United States, which is about to run to its worst, and the resulting financial crisis.

As I recall, in the aftermath, the American auto industry was on the verge of death.

In that situation, do they really have the capacity to hinder Tesla's full-scale entry into the market?

From a position where you have to work with the government to save you right now?

"Hmm······."

Of course, there is a possibility that the opposite will happen to my expectations.

To put it simply, the US government is highly likely to come out conservatively as the country's auto industry is going to die right now.

But strictly speaking, Tesla is an American company.

So, you can't just unilaterally take sides.

As a result, how do I convince them? In other words, the situation is highly likely to change depending on how you lobby.

‘Besides, this is a great opportunity.’

In the future, the real estate market in the United States will crash without knowing the end, so this is the best time to secure a foundation for charging infrastructure facilities.

‘After all, a world is coming where it becomes a reality for those who have money to survive. No, rather, those who have capital become richer.’

As I thought about it, I suddenly remembered the assets in the United States that were being sorted out recently.

In preparation for this crisis, most of the investment destinations, except for some companies, were in the stage of reorganization, so the surplus funds were astronomical.

Of course, most of them will be seed money to sweep up the abyss again after the crisis.

Since there has been a lot of money raised in the meantime, it will not be difficult to purchase real estate to build infrastructure.

‘A crisis for some is an opportunity for others.’

“By the way, are the rumors about Vice Chairman Yoon true?”

While he was deep in his thoughts, CEO Kim Young-gi made a hint.

Still, that issue needs to be addressed.

I looked at him with a smirk.

“Yes, it is. Vice Chairman Yoon Sang-hyun has recently had health problems to the point where he can no longer pay attention to his work.”

“But you’re not that old, aren’t you?”

CEO Kim Young-gi said he was worried.

Since he moved to Thales, he must have been more saddened by the fact that he was closer to Vice Chairman Yoon than anyone else.

However, in the case of Vice Chairman Yoon, it is true that his health was particularly poor for his age, and he has no choice but to step down because he wants to resign himself.

“He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life leisurely.”

“It sounds like Vice-President Yoon.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

CEO Kim Young-gi nodded his head with a light smile.

Perhaps he didn't have anything else to say, so he quickly grabbed the report and hurled at him.

“So. The position of vice-chairman will now be taken by Hyun-cheol by himself, and we are going to create a position under him as the head of the strategic planning department in charge of the group, who will serve as a control tower for the entire group. And I'm thinking of putting CEO Kim in his place."

"Yeah?"

CEO Kim Young-ki made a surprised expression at the words.

The role of the control tower of the most powerful company in Korea.

It seems like a burdensome look, but no matter how much I look around, I have no other option.

“In my opinion, there is no one in Jaewoo who is more suitable for the position than CEO Kim.”

"However······."

CEO Kim Young-gi did not say anything for a while.

He knows I'm not going to break my stubbornness just because he says no.

As expected, he closed his eyes for a long time, but eventually smirked and said.

“You know what? To be honest, rather than being happy, I started worrying.”

“·················ogue.”

“That means I’m worried about how much you’re going to eat me up.”

He laughed out loud at those words.

Soon, a car trying to sign the papers that were pushed back, and joking words flew in.

“By the way, is the position of the head of the strategic planning department higher than that of KAI CEO Ahn?”

“Considering that it has an impact across the group, it is. But why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

"I do not know. It's just like pride. To be honest, there are some things we can't see between us. Between the former head of the National Intelligence Service and the former defense minister. Anyway, I'm feeling a bit relieved now. It was my wish to receive some treatment from that serpent.”

“·················ogue.”

“Oh, by the way, did you hear the news?”

“What news are you talking about?”

He tilted his head at the sudden spit of his words.

An expression that seemed wet with ecstasy seemed to pass over his face, and he said in a whisper.

“The swarm drone that the president secretly instructed to develop through Aerospace before. Based on the products it had provided to Israel. They say that it will be possible to test it soon.”

“Is that already?”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-166
