[Good morning.]

on the way to work the next morning.

Natasha, who was waiting outside for security, shuddered at the greeting.

At my unusual attitude, she tilted her head, and I tried for a long time not to look towards her, which was particularly badly cut as I followed today.

[Good morning.]

After leaving only a short greeting, he got into the car.

As I brush my hair over and over because of last night's dream that doesn't leave my head all the way to work, the secretary Yang, who was driving, asks a question.

“Is there something bad about you? It’s a face that I couldn’t sleep at night.”

“No, don’t worry.”

I spit out an answer as if passing by and looked out the window.

burst of laughter.

In the end, it was a reaction from a kind of self-rationalization that came from the fact that I am also a human being and cannot escape from basic desires.

“Good morning, Chairman.”

When I arrived at the office, Secretary Kim greeted me with a wide smile.

Why?

The atmosphere that comes from her according to her today also feels different from before.

“Isn’t it great?”

He left a close greeting and entered the room.

Perhaps there was something to report separately, for a moment, she quickly followed her into the room.

“Why, what’s going on?”

“It’s no different… I got a call from Rep. Lee Yong-jae of the ruling party in the morning.”

Lee Yong-jae was once a person who competed with the current president for party power.

He defended Japan openly during the economic war with Japan, but eventually withdrew from his position as the representative of the Yen Party.

But why?

“What is your business?”

“I don’t know. He just told me that he wanted to see the president.”

At those words, his eyebrows went up.

He is now a member of the ruling party rather than the opposition party.

Somehow the purpose is questionable.

“Tell me you’re going to be busy for the time being.”

“Yes, I will tell you that.”

Secretary Kim turned around with an expression as if he knew it.

Kim Young-ki, the general manager, takes the place of her, who leaves her room soon after.

“What are you doing in the morning?”

“Did you not see the news?”

Director Kim turned on the TV as soon as he could spit out a word.

The soon-to-be-tuned channel is a news program.

The figures who appeared to be panelists were in the middle of a heated discussion.

[Japan's official announcement is just a fake.]

[However, it is not true that China has recently begun building 10,000-ton ships. What will we say in the field of dealing with him?]

“What does that mean now?”

It was difficult to understand the content only with the fragmentary conversations of the panelists coming and going.

Therefore, when asked immediately, Director Kim Young-gi continues the explanation with a sigh.

“Around 8 am today, it was announced that Japan would develop a supersonic anti-ship missile. Because of that, each broadcasting company is arguing about its intentions.”

“A supersonic anti-ship missile?”

If it was a supersonic anti-ship missile developed by Japan, it would mean the ASM-3.

Based on the ramjet engine.

The top speed is Mach 3. And the range is up to 200 kilometers.

But historically, the point in time when it appears in the world is 10 years from now.

However, it is quite surprising that they decided to develop it at this point.

‘Did you feel a sense of crisis?’

Maybe that was the main reason.

Our national defense power is advancing like crazy.

In addition, China is also building a large-scale 10,000-ton air defense destroyer ahead of its history.

To be honest, I wouldn't have been able to sleep comfortably in Japan.

"Hmm······."

Even so, the back end is stinky.

In their reality where the development of offensive weapons is blocked, this reality is openly proclaiming the development of the latest offensive weapons.

They must be well aware of the fact that the reaction of neighboring countries, including us, will be intense, but showing such an attitude nevertheless...

Do you mean to see the liver?

“Doesn’t it seem like you’re trying to think about the reaction between us and China?”

As if thinking the same thing, General Manager Kim Young-gi continued.

If it's no one else, and if Director Kim and I thought the same thing at the same time, there's a good chance it's the right answer.

Still, out of curiosity, I called Yang Yang-yong, the head of the National Intelligence Service, and confirmed that he was also drawing the same conclusions as we did.

-In my opinion, Japan is now trying to think about our reaction. Well, nominally, it is to respond to the Chinese maritime forces that have been gaining momentum recently, but the real purpose is our Aegis ship, isn't it?

Yang's tone of voice was quite blunt.

A moment when I feel a bit strange.

If it is true, something has happened that we should be wary of, but somehow it feels too calm, not like the head of the intelligence department.

“Shouldn’t the Blue House also show some kind of reaction?”

-Although the President is talking with the US State Department right now, the situation seems to be more serious than I thought.

“Are things getting serious?”

-According to information, the range of the supersonic anti-ship missile currently planned by Japan reaches 400 kilometers.

“400 kilometers?”

That was also unexpected news.

No, it must be said that it is news that goes against history.

Japan's decision to increase the range of the ASM-3 to 400 km was made long after development, but this is because it omits that process.

“·················ogue.”

But the important thing is that the distortion of history is not the problem.

Strictly speaking, Japan is a group that can be defined as a potential enemy.

They are confronted with various issues, including historical and territorial issues.

In such a country, having an attack method with a range of 400 km is something we should be wary of enough.

“So? What are you doing with the President?”

- Of course, the president is raising his voice. To be honest, it's close to an offensive means rather than a defense from anyone's point of view, and we can't tolerate that.

"Hmm······."

In fact, it is not a matter of tolerating or not accepting, it is something that must be prevented.

Of course, it's the King Sejong. Since it is fully equipped to deal with supersonic missiles, the possibility of damage is not very high, but there is still a case of just in case.

Moreover, on the international stage, the word ‘permission’ is a proposition that should be chosen quite carefully.

Simply put, once it's allowed, it's not difficult twice.

If this time passes, Japan will continue to attempt to possess offensive weapons in the future, but there is no way to pave the way for it.

“What is America’s reaction?”

Shaking away the deep thoughts, he asked.

A long sigh is heard.

It seems like I've heard some negative replies.

-In the United States, the government is watching, but honestly, I don't know how the conclusion will be drawn.

“·················ogue.”

-Is the US a bit complicated with the Iraq issue? Moreover, this time, we even provided a huge amount of military support, so the problem is that there is a high possibility that that amount will be allowed.

The moment I heard that, I burst into laughter.

Somehow, I thought that the size of the subsidy was too large, but in the end, such a trick was hidden.

I don't know who it is, but at this point, it means that there is a being who is thinking quite a bit in the Japanese cabinet, and I suddenly wonder who it is.

- By the way, the President is thinking about whether we should show something to Japan as a demonstration.

As his thoughts deepened, the head of the NIS continued again.

“Protest?”

-Yes, it seems that the U.S. has no intention of blocking Japan's possession of offensive weapons.

“It could be. The United States regards Japan as a country that it can control as much as it wants.

-That's the American way of thinking, and it doesn't take into account the stress we face. Anyway, the President is thinking of showing Japan clearly on this occasion. that we also have countermeasures.

“Do you mean that you want to demonstrate the ability of the King Sejong the Great to defend against supersonic anti-ship missiles again?”

-Does that have any special meaning in what Japan already knows?

“Then what the hell?”

- A hypersonic cruise missile. Rather, it is to give hopelessness by revealing the fact that we have succeeded in developing it. ‘The missiles you are developing cannot sink our ship. But what we've developed can completely silence your ship.'

As soon as I heard those words, I had a feeling that something was going to go wrong.

In the case of hypersonic cruise missiles, tests were excluded due to concerns about the reactions of neighboring countries until a few days ago.

But are you going to reveal it?

I have no inspiration to take this situation positively or negatively.

-Anyway, please be aware that the Blue House may contact you by any chance.

The head of the National Intelligence Service ended the call after saying that.

As if I had guessed the contents just by listening to it from my side, at the same time, General Manager Kim Young-gi suggested an opinion to me.

“Why don't you try talking to Michael? Japan’s possession of offensive weapons is not an easy task.”

That was true.

If this situation is passed, Japan will surely accelerate the transition to normalization.

It is not an issue that will be easily overcome.

Whoops.

I immediately looked at the watch.

Although it was late at night, it was still a time when my phone was likely to be answered.

As soon as I try to make a call, he answers the call in a deep, immersive voice, as expected.

[Maybe I didn't interrupt our private time?]

- You haven't been in bed yet, so you didn't really disturb me, but why did you call me at this hour?

Even if I said that, it seemed that I was in the way.

At first glance, I could hear a woman's grumbling snort through the receiver.

Even at that age, I can't help but be amazed at how smooth the marital relationship is.

[Nothing else, Japan today announced a plan to develop a supersonic anti-ship missile with a range of 400 km. I'd like to know if there was any sympathy with the United States in advance about that.

-·········.

There was silence on the other side.

Silence that expresses affirmation is a state that can be known only by feeling.

After a moment's sigh, he spit out an excuse for being one beat late.

-If that's the case, frankly, the US government is against it.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

[If the government is against it... do you mean that other places are in favor of it?]

- Congress is the problem. Some members of the Republican and Democratic parties, who have fallen into the Japanese lobby, are putting pressure on the government.

[But, isn't that a problem that goes against the Constitution of Japan?]

- Don't you know that this is our government? However, it is unfortunate that the government cannot afford to ignore the demands of lawmakers as the government is currently stuck in the legislature due to economic problems.

[··········.]

From what it sounded, it seemed that the US government had in mind the acceptance of Japan's development of attack missiles.

Well, it would be difficult to completely ignore the opinion of Congress in the current economic crisis.

By the way, have you already finished lobbying Congress?

Then, the purpose of the 10 billion-dollar power budget is somewhat questionable.

'wait.'

Then, suddenly, another ominous feeling passed by.

At the same time, Michael was about to hang up his phone as if he had done all he could.

He hurriedly asked him a question.

[I'm just saying this, isn't Japan trying to be accepted for rearmament using the military budget subsidy?]

In fact, from my point of view, it was something I could take for granted.

A whopping 100 billion dollars.

Of course, at that size, the amount is too large to be supported as a fuel economy subsidy.

Besides, the situation in America right now is the worst.

Perhaps Japan is taking advantage of the US situation and is trying to pave the way for rearmament with money, which is their specialty.

- What a nonsensical thing to say...

But Michael's reaction was fierce.

Well, if that's the case, I'm lucky.

To be honest, one of the reasons we decided to send troops was to thwart Japan's ambition to rearm, but if it collapses, it will be difficult.

But then, with a long sigh, the words were heard again from the other side.

- What's good? I'm saying this because it's Chairman Jin, but it's true that Japan's rearmament has been discussed recently.

[··········.]

-Even so, in the end, with Korea's decision to dispatch troops, it ended as a simple incident.

[··········.]

-Yes, I understand the reaction. But then you have to understand that we were so crowded around the corner.

[I know what you mean, but do you know how dangerous that idea was?]

I sighed and said.

Michael responds calmly, as if he did not understand the meaning properly.

- It is true that it was dangerous for Korea.

[No, I was talking about the American position.]

-·········.

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-170
