Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 26

[Jaeuthales wrote another history….]

A month later, news of a contract between Jauthales and the US Department of Defense, starting with TBS, spread through the air.

Most of the media made a fuss about the export value of 1.5 billion dollars, but the most important thing is that all weapons to be developed in Jauthales in the future can be installed on the F-16 sold by the US to the world.

The only one who highlighted it was reporter Han Ji-yeon, because I only provided her with her sauce.

– Thank you, chief. Thanks to this, I was able to write more in-depth articles than others.

The effect of intensively pushing Han Ji-yeon was unexpected.

He almost restored the image of Jae-woo, which had been destroyed by Hyun-seung in the past due to his favorable tone.

No, it wasn’t just a recovery, but now the name Jaewoo is starting to come and go in people’s mouths.

[There is one concern. Since the US will only integrate weapons developed by Jauthales in the future, there may be an issue of equity among defense companies in the future. This is a point that many experts agree on, and most experts argue that there is a possibility that it may hinder the development of the Korean weapon industry.]

Of course, not all media were favorable.

Just as I use Han Ji-yeon, there is no law that says that competitors should not do the same.

The media, which was controlled by some of its competitors, was covered with malicious articles throughout.

“I’m sorry, but after reading that article, I have one question. Is it something the media would chew on to such an extent that only us are allowed to integrate the F16 armed forces?”

Secretary Kim, who was watching the news together, asked insinuatingly.

She recently said that she looked after me more clearly, and she started studying the defense industry in general, but it seems that she did not understand that part.

“The number of F16s sold worldwide is staggering. If only half of them were equipped with weapons that we would develop, we could profit from trillions of won. It was only allowed to us in Korea, so it is only natural for our competitors to be upset.”

“Then competitors can also be allowed to integrate armed forces.”

“It’s not easy, so it’s a riot. If we continue to allow that, it would be a waste of flesh for the United States, and we cannot allow it easily.”

“Wow! Then we have done a great job.”

“of course. But even if armed integration is allowed, there is no air-to-air missile that we can sell right now, so there is nothing to like already.”

Even though I said so, my heart was already filled with anticipation.

When the weapons to be mounted on the fighter are developed in earnest, the technology for the parts and materials will be provided by my research institute.

The profit from it would be comparable to that of Thales, who assembles and sells weapons, but in the end, it is the bear who has the talent and the money is the King West.

‘In a word, my plan to turn corporations into strangled cormorants begins. No, has Thales already started?’

When I thought about it, he was like that.

Of the total export value of 1.5 billion dollars, it is estimated that the amount my research institute will take for the cost of providing technology for materials and parts and operating profit is about 200 million dollars.

It’s like spitting out half of the operating profit that Jaewoo will get from this project, but this isn’t a strangled cormorant.

“Still, for Jaewoo, isn’t it a sure thing to prepare for the future?”

“For now, that’s it.”

To be honest, that wasn’t all I was interested in.

The technologies that will be transferred to the US in the future come from me, not Jaewoo.

So, of course, the royalties are mine, and in conclusion, the glory of this project is Jaewoo. But as much as the fruit is, I’m in a situation where I’m going to eat it.

“Then we have to accelerate development. I will not complain if I work overtime frequently in the future.”

Secretary Kim revealed his enthusiasm belatedly.

For some reason, after watching the news for a long time, she suddenly changed her expression and complained.

“But who is it?”

“What do you mean?”

“A place that pours out malicious articles like that. No matter how I look at it, I can’t think of anything other than a knight who was ordered by someone.”

It seems she felt the same way as me.

After all, the tone is too malicious for simply pointing out a problem.

But where are one or two competitors that can do that?

Still, if I had to think about it, S&U was the most influential in the current situation.

Except for Jauthales in this country, it is the only producer of gunpowder and shells.

Although it was selected as a power pack mission developer for the next Korean tank in the future, it failed in the end and was the subject of great criticism.

Considering that the direction of the business is almost similar to ours, they are actually the most influential.

“Don’t worry too much, Chief.”

It wasn’t really something to worry about.

Most of the media are already in our favor, and now this country is drunk on US recognition in the defense industry, which is a technology barren field.

It’s probably not going to last that long.

“I don’t care. By the way, what time is the celebration hosted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”

“It’s 6pm today. It’s going to be at Gyeryongdae, so I think you’d better hurry. Oh, don’t worry, I have prepared the suit you are going to wear.”

“Then Secretary Kim also prepares.”

“Yeah?”

Secretary Kim gave a blank expression to my request for accompaniment.

At the same time, an invitation from the Ministry of National Defense was spread out on the desk.

Instead of answering, he gently held it out and pointed to a part of the phrase.

“It is said to be family-friendly. But what does that have to do with me…”

“If you are with your family, it will be quite noisy. Of course, there will be times when you have to talk to people you don’t need. The problem is that I never get used to that kind of atmosphere.”

“·················ogue.”

“Simply put, Secretary Kim should be my shield.”

“·················ogue.”

***

“Jaeuthales Manager Jin Hyun-seung and his party are passing through.”

The parking lot at Gyeryongdae was already full of many vehicles.

As if surprised by the procession of cars with countless stars, Secretary Kim could not keep her mouth shut.

In fact, it is the first time I have seen so many generals, except at the time of the test launch of the Hyunmoo 4 missile before the return.

“Five! Director Jin Hyun-seung.”

As I entered the lobby, Chairman Oh Jung-geun of the Joint Chiefs of Staff greeted me first.

As he was chatting with several generals, he trembled as if he had been in a relationship with me for a long time.

“I don’t know if the road to get there was difficult.”

“Thanks for your concern, I came here comfortably.”

“That’s good. Well, let me say hello. Anyway, it was a car that was in full swing with your story right now.”

After giving a brief formal greeting, he led me towards the group of generals who had gathered.

“long time no see.”

The things that stood out the most were Lieutenant General Kim Tae-ik and General Lee Dong-wook.

Maybe it was because of the relationship they had built up over the years, and I felt a strong bond with them just by making eye contact.

“How far have you been talking? Ah! We were talking about armed unification.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff continued to speak to the public as if trying to unravel a story he had not finished.

The funny thing is that he cleverly avoided content that could be classified as a secret.

Perhaps it was an action conscious of the civilians mixed among the members of this banquet.

“By the way, I would like to talk to you separately before the event starts. How about, could you give me some time?”

Chief Oh Jung-geun, who was in full swing, suddenly whispered in my ear.

Thanks to the early arrival, I still had time to spare.

I gladly nodded his head, and he took my arm and headed towards a corner of the lobby.

“Are there any problems?”

“What could be a problem? I just have something I want to ask you.”

“what······.”

“During the last negotiation with Captain Jeffrey, you didn’t mention that you were an HVP or something.”

“Are you talking about a short-range air defense system using high-speed projectiles?”

“Yeah, that. Is Jaewoo really developing such a system?”

“of course.”

“Then is it possible to apply that to our military as well?”

“·················ogue.”

“Actually, I came back and thought about it. At the time, you suggested it to Captain Jeffrey for ship defense, but no matter how much I think about it, I think it’s possible for our army to adopt it as well. As you said, if we just change the warhead and have a guidance system, wouldn’t it be possible to use it on the ground?”

It wasn’t exactly wrong.

There is no difference between intercepting things that are flying towards a ship or intercepting things that are flying towards a ground target.

Perhaps he remembered the idea that the HVP would be effective in defending the rockets fired by North Korea near the ceasefire line, but in fact, the short-range air defense system in the front built by the Korean military on behalf of the ‘Iron Dome’ just before the return was also right there. That was it.

“What do you think? If that’s possible, I think we’ll build a really groundbreaking defense system.”

I kind of expected this situation.

Who would understand if someone else could use the things I made better?

Perhaps he felt injustice when he saw the United States, where it was possible to use smart cannons more efficiently than we do.

“However, if we want to build an air defense system using HVP, we need to secure a suitable detection radar system.”

“I know that. That being said, I wonder if it is possible to develop a detection radar in Jaewoo.”

“It is possible. If only I had money.”

“okay?”

The face of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff brightened.

The moment he felt like he wanted to, he asked the question again.

“How long do you think the development period will take?”

“Well, if we start full-scale development, about a year or so? Again, the problem is the budget.”

“Don’t worry about the budget.”

“·················ogue.”

I closed my eyes in embarrassment.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He looked around for a moment as if he wanted to hear someone else, then took a step closer and continued.

“Actually, at the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting yesterday, it was decided to abandon the army’s power enhancement project scheduled for next year and use the budget to build a short-range air defense system using HVP.”

“Are you giving up on the power enhancement project scheduled for next year?”

“Yeah, actually, the power reinforcement project was a project to introduce a short-range air defense system to counter the North’s long-range artillery, but the HVP you proposed to the US Navy is just right. I plan to inform the National Assembly of the decision soon and have it reviewed again, but as long as there are no abnormalities, it will be possible to implement the project.”

The fact that the army’s power enhancement project planned for next year was to counter the North’s long-range artillery was unknown information.

Historically, there is no memory of the military doing such a business during this period.

As a result, history has been twisted again, and somehow it feels like the butterfly effect I caused is creating a bigger and bigger typhoon.

“Hmm······.”

But this time, the butterfly effect seems to bring great benefits to me.

In this day and age, I am the only person capable of building such an advanced defense system.

Simply put, that’s not the same as asking me to eat the business.

“Could you please tell me such important information in advance?”

“There is nothing that can’t be done in the field, which is an issue that will soon be raised anyway. And how much did you do to our military, and if I’m shy, I’ll have to give you that much information to buy noodles.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shrugged his shoulders and said.

It was as if this had paid off one of my debts.

After all, that kind of business information is enough to pay off debt.

“I don’t know what to say thank you.”

“Thanks, anyway, even if the military makes a quick recovery, it will take some time for the project to be implemented. By then, I hope that the development of that system will be completed.”

“You don’t have to worry about that part.”

In fact, one year of development was sufficient.

After all, guidance system technologies, including multi-band phased array radar, are all secured.

Wait, by the way, how much did our military spend on building HVP before returning?

“How big is your budget?”

“We’ll have to finish the feasibility study to find out, but it’s probably worth about 2 trillion won.”

If it goes like that, for me, it’s like sucking honey.

Most of the initial development cost is spent on continuous experimentation, but since I already have the completed technology, the experiment itself can be drastically reduced.

Moreover, the development of the radar element, which will become the core, is likely to be handled by my research institute.

Hopefully, half of the revenue will likely go to my lab, not Thales.

From a minimum of 500 billion to a maximum of 1 trillion.

Hang on, if this is the case, isn’t this just about picking up fishermen and eating them?

In that case, was it really a godsend to propose HVP to the US?

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
