Chapter 23

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-23

“Come on, have you eaten?”

Kim Hye-won’s first greeting was ‘rice’ today.

What is unusual is that when that simple greeting comes out of her mouth, a special meaning is felt.

Clearly, she excelled at putting the truth in her words.

“Did your mother eat?”

Kim’s body twitched at the words she spit out unintentionally.

The moment she tilted her head, she looked straight at me with her trembling eyes.

“It’s the first time.”

“What?”

“Hyunseung, the reason you called me mother.”

“·················ogue.”

“Look at my mind. Should I wash my hands first?”



She hurriedly changed the topic as if she had said something.

Maybe it was a mistake, but as she turned around, it felt like she had glimpsed a happy smile on her face.

“How is the situation?”

Upon entering the living room, Chairman Jin first asked about the progress of the development of smart cannonballs.

There’s no way I couldn’t have missed the news that the parts supply had started, and somehow it feels like a formal question that comes up before the main topic.

“Soon we will be able to test prototypes on military relations. Did you call me to ask about it?”

“It’s not…”

Chairman Jin hesitated at his words.

What the hell are you talking about?

I stared at him without saying a word, and he coughed and pulled a document out of the drawer.

“Check it.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a gift certificate. A certificate stating that I have given you 4% of the Thales stake I own. There will be an announcement on the stock exchange sometime tomorrow, so I called it because it would be better to let me know in advance.”

“·················ogue.”

This was unexpected.

It feels like my mind is numb and the strings of thoughts are loosening.



It is clear that it is something to be happy about, but for some reason, a state of disappointment gathered in a corner of my heart and lasted for a while.

“Why do you look like that?”

“Ah, I’m a little embarrassed. But why did you make this decision?”

It was natural for me to not understand.

Because of the situation I was in, I thought that it was fate that I had to solve on my own, except for what was already given to me.

But in the end, blood sticking is blood sticking, right?

I guess I overlooked that important fact for a while.

“What is embarrassing? As I said before, I haven’t decided who owns Thales yet. Shouldn’t the starting line be different in that yard?”

It wasn’t exactly wrong.

If there is to be a fair competition, of course, the share of the stake should be the same.

But when things go this way, the fairness he desires is effectively crossed.

“You are right, but you should know that in this case, you will be at a disadvantage in the future.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Actually, I am looking for an opportunity to buy a stake. Then, of course, wouldn’t the starting line be different?”

“Are you buying shares? Where is the spare money that you, who used to invest in research institutes like a poison that fell out every time?

Chairman Jin narrowed his eyes and asked.

Did he say he was unbiased?

When I opened the passbook for stock purchase funds deposited at the securities company, he looked at me with round eyes.

“100 billion?”

“Yes, even if the stock price rises due to the success of this project, approximately 2% of the amount can be obtained. Well, if you try to buy it right away, you can secure a larger quantity than that, but that’s unavoidable. An increase in the stake of a major shareholder of the company ahead of a major event is definitely problematic.”

“·················ogue.”

He was silent for a while.

What is he thinking?

At the moment when he was puzzled, the name of a president suddenly came out of his mouth.

“Recently, rumors have been circulating that Chairman Myung-ho Myung-ho has become your guardian, and it seems that he has just learned how to make money.”

It was a tone that I had no intention of blaming.

No, until a faint smile was formed.

I was lucky enough to see it when I was in a hurry.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stop?”

“What reason is there to discourage you from interacting with a nobleman like Chairman Han? In Panguk, where other people are anxious to have a relationship with the gentleman.”

“No, I would like to take an additional stake in Thales.”

“·················ogue.”

In that part, Chairman Jin paused for a moment.

But I wondered if the corners of his lips would rise soon, so he secretly handed the bankbook he was holding.

“My role ended by laying a fair plate. After that, it’s up to each of us to do it ourselves.”

He said nonchalantly and got up from the sofa.

Suddenly, in the kitchen, Mrs. Kim was waving her hand after preparing her meal.

After all, he had nothing more to say to him as he had been permitted to acquire the stake.

No, I still have one question left.

“Is it true that you are going to Aerospace?”

Chairman Jin, who had been ahead of him, turned back at those words.

It was as if he knew how.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as if he had remembered something.

“Ttt, I need to crack down on the secretariat’s entry.”

“There is no point in pushing them. After all, information about personnel transfers is a matter that everyone in the group is keenly aware of, so no matter how much you block them, there will always be words without feet.”

“·················ogue.”

“But why? Rumor has it that your brother applied directly, is there any special reason?”

“Well, they said they wanted to try developing their own fighter engine.”

Again, it was as expected.

What is curious is why a person like Chairman Jin who fully understands Jaewoo’s skill level allowed it.

As if noticing his expression, he spoke again.

“I know what you want to say. Yes, developing our own engine is not feasible for our subject.”

“But why…….”

“He said he was going to take over Motorsich. So it looks like they are thinking of trying to absorb technology.”

Motorsic was a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer.

In the days of the Soviet Union, it was a place that was barely able to survive due to military demand, but it is suffering from a sudden financial crisis after the dissolution of the Federation.

According to a recent rumor, the deficit is so large that it has reached a level where it can be acquired for just hundreds of billions of dollars.

I never dreamed that Jin Hyeon-cheol would be greedy for that place.

“What do you think? Do you think there is any chance?”

The problem is that it won’t be easy.

I wouldn’t have thought that it was me.

It is possible to enter not only the fighter engine market but also the large aircraft market if you catch the motorsitch.

Nevertheless, it was only because of the United States that he decided to give up his regrets and decide to develop his own.

As for the aircraft market, it’s because they won’t allow it once they keep their eyes on it.

No, second to the US, Russia will not stand still.

“I want you to be successful.”

That was an honest feeling.

If my prediction is wrong and it is possible, it is possible for us to jump into the large commercial aircraft market at once.

No, you can get not only civil aircraft, but also the fighter engine technology that Motor Sichi has, so it’s a real bonus.

But is that really possible?

As someone who knows America’s greed better than anyone else, it’s hard to have hope at all.

[I will give information to the distinguished guests in the hall. After a while, the performance test of the smart self-propelled artillery GX-1 and the SX-1 for 5-inch guns will be conducted from 2 pm, so please gather at the 2nd tactical training ground as soon as possible.]

Ten days later, a performance test of the smart cannon was finally held at the Marine Corps tactical training center in Incheon.

As a means of delivery for the test, a prototype of the K-9 self-propelled howitzer, which was recently being developed by Samjong Techwin, was mobilized, and Chairman Lee Yong-moon was also invited as an observer.

“What is that screen?”

Chairman Lee Yong-moon, who attended despite his busy schedule, showed interest in the huge screen on the other side of the training ground.

“Oh oh!”

Not only that, but most of the people in the hall are looking puzzled at the appearance of a huge screen that suddenly appeared.

As if to dispel the doubts, a video immediately appeared on the screen, and people all burst into laughter at the view of the open sea projected on the huge screen.

“Where is that?”

“It is off the coast of Jinhae. Currently, the naval base there and the uninhabited island in Ganghwa are being broadcast live at the same time.”

“Ganghwado is the impact point of self-propelled shells. Even so, what is Jinhae for?”

“After the performance test of the smart self-propelled shells, we plan to test the performance of the smart shells for the 127mm guns right away.”

“Are you going to run the tests at once?”

Chairman Lee Yong-moon asked in surprise.

“After all, development was completed at the same time, so I thought there was no reason to proceed twice.”

“That’s a good idea. It’s actually rude to call people who are already busy multiple times. But doesn’t that destroyer look like a trap you’ve never seen before?”

“This is DDH-972 Eulji Mundok Ham. She’s a destroyer that was commissioned about two months ago, so she’s still undergoing naval adaptation training.”

“Did you mobilize a destroyer that was just commissioned for a demonstration?”

“Actually, the Navy is currently in the midst of naval training. As a result, it was difficult to find a destroyer equipped with a 5-inch gun, but fortunately, Lee Dong-wook, the deputy commander of the Combined Forces Command here, hired him.”

Captain Lee Dong-wook, who was listening to the competition by his side, did not even move.

It’s as if he doesn’t want to show his ball.

Perhaps he was unexpected, Chairman Lee Yong-moon’s eyes lit up as he looked at him.

[Long time no see, Mr. Jin]

Lieutenant General Michael of the US Department of Defense was also invited to today’s performance test.

In a sense, it was a natural result because the purpose of the development of smart cannons was to export to the United States rather than the Korean military in mind.

What was surprising was his reaction, who flew to Korea just three days after announcing the event and was waiting for three more days at the USFK camp.

Simply put, the status of our Jauthales within the U.S. Department of Defense has improved that much.

[I had no idea that Lieutenant General Michael would make such a decision to visit at such a quick glance.][Anything like that… If it’s a weapon that Mr. Jin put so much effort into, you should definitely be interested.]

Michael said with curious eyes.

He must have already grasped the specifications and performance of the shells through the catalog sent in advance.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Still, seeing those eyes is proof that there is something else to look forward to.

[One thing to note is that the shells used in today’s performance tests were equipped with commercial GPS. In other words, the communism error is very different from that of military GPS.][You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll refer to it.]

Michael nodded his head at the words I spit out as an excuse.

Meanwhile, the self-propelled artillery mobilized for the demonstration entered the parade ground, and soon after the gun barrel was heard, it turned to the west.

[By the way, where is the impact point?][It is an uninhabited island in the West Sea, about 100 kilometers from here. In fact, the maximum range is 80 km, but the test range has been extended with extreme conditions in mind.][Then what if I fail? Let’s not say we can give a bad image to the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea.][I am trying because I have that much confidence.]

As soon as he finished speaking, an island appeared on the screen.

A place where the long white sand is particularly conspicuous.

A little later, on the enlarged screen, a small car standing in the middle of a white sandy beach appeared.

[Is that vehicle a target?]

Michael looked perplexed.

Instead of answering, I nodded his head and looked at me with his eyes wide open.

[It’s a commercial GPS. You mean you can hit such a small target with just that? Then, what is the margin of error if an alternative military GPS is installed…][Currently, the common error is around 6 meters. So, if it is equipped for military use, it should be considered less than half of that.][············· 6 meters long even with commercial use?]

Judging by the fact that he dropped his chin, he seemed quite surprised.

But if you already have that kind of reaction, it’s difficult.

I gave the hand signal to the waiting staff, and shortly thereafter, a military truck standing on the white sand began to attach a long chain to the car.

[What are you trying to do?]

Startled Michael looked at me immediately.

This is what I really wanted to show.

After sending another hand signal to the waiting staff again, I looked straight at him.

[That’s because we have to move the target.][Moving the target. why?][Yes, of course, for testing. In fact, today’s performance test is to hit a moving target, not a stationary target.][what! Hit a moving target with only 155mm shells? So, is it not just a product developed for the purpose of extending range and precision strike?]

yes of course

If it was only aimed at destroying fixed targets, it would not have gone through that damned development process in the first place.

Maybe after a while he will realize what real value for money is.
