Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

“Chairman, Crown Prince Mohammed wants to talk to you.”

The next day, early in the morning, I got a call from Mohammed of the UAE.

Third time since yesterday.

It's a situation where the purpose is enough to guess, but I was hesitant to pick up the receiver because I couldn't answer anything yet.

“Connect.”

It was, however, unavoidable.

No one else, not me. No, because he was the one who helped Jae-woo and this country a lot.

In the end, I received the phone call with the decision to honestly recognize the current situation and ask for some time.

[I haven't heard your voice in a long time.]

-this! I was about to be disappointed because I thought that I might not be able to connect again this time.

There was a slight sadness in Mohammed's tone of voice.

Well, it's the first time I've ever chewed on his direct phone.

Rather than making excuses, he expressed his honest feelings.

[I can't sleep comfortably these days. I would like to actively accommodate the UAE's demands, but as you know, there are too many things at stake.]

- That's it, I understand. The fighter sector has traditionally been America's vegetable garden, and that's a breaking point. So, of course, I do not want to make unreasonable demands on Crown Prince Hasad.

[···········.]

Considering the mention of Hassad, it feels like there has been some kind of conversation between the two.

What topic was the conversation about?

As his puzzled mind was silent, his words continued.

-After discussing with Crown Prince Hasad, I would like to see if we could persuade the United States.

[How about the United States?]

This time, Mohammed hesitated to that question.

Along with several coughings that followed, a questionable word was heard.

- After all, what the US wants is to maintain market dominance. If you do, you will be satisfied with it.

[What do you mean? While you're trying to buy ours, how do you think you're going to buy American fighter jets too?]

- That's it.

[But wouldn't it be a strategically smart decision to buy the F-15 and Ghost Eagle at the same time?]

It was a response that was difficult to understand, so I immediately asked.

The American fighter he plans to purchase is probably an improved version of the F-15.

In the meantime, acquiring even the Ghost Eagle would result in the duplicate purchase of the same 4.5th generation model, isn't that a waste of money?

But then, Mohammed bluntly raised an objection.

-Who said to buy the F-15?

[···········.]

- What we want to buy from the US is the F-35. When the development is completed and sales begin in earnest, it will be operated at a high level.

[Heh...]

In an instant, a smirk broke out.

Aside from their reckless attitude that doesn't care about the budget, the problem of purchasing the F35 doesn't seem like it's going to be easy even because of Israel.

No matter how friendly Saudi Arabia and the UAE may be with the United States, Israel is an absolute priority for the United States.

Because of Israel's opposition. The possibility of selling fifth-generation aircraft to the two Arab countries is slim.

[Do you think that would be possible?]

The thought immediately led to the question.

But why?

In an instant, a quiet laugh is heard from the other side.

- Nothing is impossible. What if Israel gets a better aircraft than us?

Ironically, I immediately understood the meaning of those words.

Still, a question pops up out of my mind just in case.

[If it's a better aircraft... is it that the US Congress has given Israel permission to sell the F-22?]

-That's right. It was passed by the US Congress about a week ago. Therefore, when sales begin in earnest in the future, the possibility of selling the F-35 is open to us.

I was stunned for a moment by the unexpected news.

At the same time, I thought that such a thing had actually happened before the return.

Case in which the US Congress authorized the sale of the F22 to Israel to sell the F35 to the UAE.

But the problem is that it is a result that should come out after quite a bit of time has passed.

This is not the time when the strategic value of the F-22 is skyrocketing.

‘Why?’

Could it be that the strategic value of the F22 has decreased due to the appearance of the Ghost Eagle?

"Hmm······."

When I think about it, the thought that it could be the case weighs on me.

It is only a matter of time before the Ghost Eagle becomes a fifth-generation aircraft in the near future.

Then, if Israel chooses Ghost Eagle instead of F22, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the US?

In addition, Israel is also a country with strong potential power to overcome the obstruction of the United States.

Therefore, it may be that the strategic value of F22 was abandoned and the prohibition of external sales was abolished early.

'Wait, if that's true...'

Does this look like things are going to turn around suddenly?

-Anyway, under those conditions, the US won't be able to stop it any more.

Mohammed's words came back as his thoughts were about to branch out.

He brushed off all the clutter and concentrated on the phone again.

[If that's the case, chances are good enough.]

After all, the US will be able to not only make profits from the F35, but also maintain its dominance in the fighter market.

Of course, in that case, the middleweight market would be left to us, but we have to admit that it is unavoidable.

The F-15 is no longer competitive in the middleweight market.

'Hmm... the problem is that there's a good chance they'll try to deal with us over that.'

- What are you thinking so hard that you don't have an answer?

[Yeah?]

I woke up again to the sudden prompting of Mohammed.

He clicks his tongue as he hesitates, wondering if he has asked any other questions in the meantime.

-Ttt, Chairman Jin thinks too much about the mask. He asked if the US could allow the sale of Ghost Eagles abroad.

[Yeah...]

I paused for a while.

As if realizing the meaning, the condition comes first from the other side.

-As you may have heard, Saudi Arabia and ours to Korea if Chairman Jin accepts the sale.

Most of the conditions he suggested were things I already knew.

But the real issue is what I can get, not the country.

As I secretly let out my thoughts, replies flew as if I had been waiting.

- We don't know about Chairman Jin's tendencies. Actually, I had a discussion with Crown Prince Hasad about that.

[···········.]

-So that's the conclusion I've come to, how about transferring the stake in Hyeonwoo Energy that the UAE owns to Jaewoo? Of course, at the price we acquired.

I was heartbroken.

If deals with UAE and Saudi Arabia are successful.

What will happen if I acquire Hyeonu energy, which already has infrastructure in place?

Especially in a situation where crude oil imports from the two countries are expected to increase exponentially in the future.

- Predictably, Saudi Arabia will make a similar offer. Did you know that Saudi Aramco also acquired one of the former collapsed Korean refineries?

Hearing those words, his hopes inflated even more.

If that were possible, it wouldn't even be comparable to the profit from simply selling a fighter jet.

In the end, the change to a positive attitude was instantaneous.

[Even so, did you know that there are still conditions? Of course, the downgrade is being done, of course, that our side's management and monitoring personnel are resident.]

- You don't have to worry about that. It's something I've been through every time I've been importing fighters from the US, so I'm familiar with those procedures and restrictions. And I'm just saying this just in case, to be honest, we don't even have the ability to acquire skills even if Jaewoo gives them free skills.

I also didn't mean to monitor them for fear of stealing their skills.

I'm just concerned about countries that might dig in and steal technology.

But then, Mohammed comes up with something a little odd.

- Instead, why not consult with the government and have some Korean troops stationed in the UAE instead? Then there is no need to worry about technology leaks. If possible, it would be better if we could take charge of our military education.

That wasn't a bad idea either.

No, actually, we sent a military training co-op to the UAE before returning.

It's called Ark Troops.

According to history, the first dispatch took place in 2011.

So, it will happen two years from now, but looking at the circumstances, it seems that the history is now intertwined with Jae-woo.

[I have one question.]

There is something that comes to mind in an instant, so I saw it when I was lucky.

Perhaps he was nervous, Mohammed answered in silence.

[Why do you insist on Ghost Eagle while doing that? If the downgrade is done anyway, the expected performance will not be guaranteed.]

- Even so, isn't it true that it is the best among middleweight models? And now I'm tired of American dogma. You would understand without having to explain how difficult it was to operate and maintain American fighters, right?

[···········.]

-The reality is that even if you want to fix one broken part, you have to wait several months. As a result, the actual utilization rate of the aircraft is less than 40%. So now I want to trust a trusted place like Jaewoo.

[···········.]

-Well, since the F35 is also being imported together, we will still have to endure the US dogma in that regard. Still, at least as much as a middleweight aircraft, can you definitely raise the utilization rate? As much as it is the aircraft that Chairman Jin sells, not anyone else.

I somehow felt a sympathy for that lament.

One of the reasons we developed our own fighter was actually because of that.

Of course, our maintenance skills were so good that the utilization rate never dropped to that level.

Even so, it wasn't the first time I was disappointed with the arrogant and easy AS policy of the United States.

[This is the most obvious answer. good. We will consider selling it as long as we can discuss it with US government officials who will be visiting Korea soon.]

I ended up laughing and hanging up the phone.

The task now given is how to minimize the return that the US will demand from us.

I immediately opened my notebook and began to write down the numbers of all cases.

******

[This morning, the Secretary of State made a blitz visit to Japan. It is known that the purpose of his visit was to strengthen friendship with the East Asian allies [...]

A few days later, the US Secretary of State, who was heading for Korea, suddenly changed direction and headed for Japan.

A totally unexpected move.

As a result, all kinds of speculations circulated within the Korean government about the intentions of the United States, but no conclusions were reached.

“Chairman Liam does not appear to have been included in this visit to Japan.”

Director Kim's report raises even more questions.

Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he immediately called Liam and heard a voice full of discontent from the other side.

- He said that I don't have to go to Japan. So I'm going straight to Korea.

[···········.]

A moment of embarrassment ensued.

Judging by the way he spoke, it was a tone of dissatisfaction with being rejected by the government.

Unsurprisingly, Liam's fighting continued immediately.

- Anyway, I really don't like this government. It's like we're slowly pushing the people out of our camp. This is something I'm going to have to do sometime soon. Anyway, let's meet for more details.

Liam promised only a later date without giving any particular explanation.

It's like a fucking house.

I don't know where the United States is going to go.

[Japan has announced that it has successfully concluded talks with the United States. It is known that the main contents of the talks were about Japan's future fighter acquisition project, as well as Japan's role in Northeast Asia in the future.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

[The Japanese Cabinet has informed that the F22 has been selected for the next fighter acquisition project. The total acquisition size is scheduled to be 140 units.]

The news that followed was related to Japan's next fighter acquisition project.

My expectations were exactly right.

After all, if it is open to Israel, it makes no sense to leave Japan as an ATM for the United States.

No, I think Japan can't just pass up that opportunity.

[The Japanese cabinet has also declared its own fighter development apart from the next fighter acquisition project. Experts estimate that this project, which will cost a total of 2 trillion yen by 2025, is the result of being conscious of Korea.]

[Japan's self-defense force is expected to increase in earnest. According to the announcement, additional construction of air defense destroyers and development of new tanks and self-propelled artillery will be carried out over the next five years, and the exact size is not disclosed.]

“Look at this?”

However, the news that came after that was somewhat surprising.

It feels like we're starting a full-fledged arms race with us.

What is more reluctant is that the Secretary of State, who is currently visiting Japan, has an excessively pro-Japanese tendency.

Somehow, it brings a strange sense of discomfort to pass by indifferently.

‘Come to think of it, the current administration of the United States has historically been the best match for Japan.’

As the thought ran into him, his displeasure increased.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the US is trying to fiddle with Japan's hand again, but in that case, things will get more complicated. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Hmm······."

After all, Japan is weak to the strong and is a force to the weak.

Therefore, the only way to completely resolve the delayed homework with them is to subdue them completely, but before they achieve it, it is impossible to make their momentum rise again.

“If that’s the case, then this is a big disappointment……”

For me, no, for this country, I can't help but be disappointed.

It's like being stabbed in the back of the head for cooperating with Iraq at the best, leaving nothing else.

- Anyway, I really don't like this government.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered what Liam had said on the phone.

At the same time, I thought that maybe there was a change in the power landscape in the United States.

In other words, Liam may not be able to fully control the current government as before.

‘It could be.’

If the Japanese right wing aligns with the key figures of the current US government, which is pro-Japanese.

Besides, if the key figures in the US government are extremely wary of Liam.

'Hmm... Then what about this?'

It would be difficult if the situation in China was already complicated, and it would be difficult for Japan to step up again.

‘No.’

At that time, along with a historical incident that suddenly passed, my lips were twisted.

The Great East Japan Earthquake is coming soon.

Considering the astronomical cost of getting behind the scenes, I wonder if Japan will have any money to spend on increasing its arms.

Perhaps when that time comes, their shovel will become a boomerang and hit the bone.

‘I didn’t even think of that.’

But by then, wouldn't it be better for me to add my hands?

Because there is a saying that kicking someone who falls by accident is a true friend.
