Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 30

“Sit comfortably.”

It was at a wine bar in Gangnam where I met the head of the National Intelligence Service again.

The strange thing is that there are no guests except for us.

Actually, not many people would think of having a drink here only in the yard with strong men blocking the door.

“Okay, here is the wine. I brought it because the deputy manager is so obsessed with Schubert, I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”

The man serving was also suspicious of his identity.

If so, then this is one of the bases of the NIS activities under the circumstances.

I’ve seen a lot of people disguised as a general office, but this is the first time I’ve seen a wine bar like this, and I’m not sure whose taste this is.

“There is one thing I need to make sure of.”

Lim Hyo-sik, the deputy chief of staff, looked at me intently at the words I used to accept the cup.

Still a smiling face.

He’s the type that’s hard to understand.

“You tell me.”

“If I can’t get out of here, my secretary might break the door. As you can see, he is a friend who has enough power to do that.”

“······Yeah?”

He had a puzzled expression on his face.

There’s no way they wouldn’t know that they were saying it to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

A smile mixed with absurdity spread across the faces of the nearby agents, who were stiff as if their intentions had been worked out.

“There is no such thing, so please rest assured.”

“Well, if that’s the case, I’m comfortable talking. Actually, the reason I wanted to meet the manager of the Brown Bear Project was because I had something to discuss about a very important issue.”

“Conference? Hyunseung Jin, what is the matter to discuss with us?”

He tilted his head as if puzzled.

Nevertheless, seeing the light as much as the eyes, it seems that the contents are curious.

“If I can prevent unnecessary operations because of me, isn’t that something worth discussing?”

“Unnecessary operation?”

“The NIS plan to smuggle Russian ICBMs in the form of scrap metal sooner or later.”

Maybe it has already happened.

But in the end, the reason I did it was because I wanted to.

In other words, it was because of the slight expectation that the distortion of history might have had an effect on this event as well.

‘It is the original history that the name was changed to the National Intelligence Service only in 1999, but if you see that it is already calling itself the National Intelligence Service, you can see that this history has also been twisted. It’s just a situation where we should hope that the operation is pushed back rather than ahead of history.’

Dream!

Lim’s expression hardened in an instant.

That was proof that the incident itself was not fiction.

The important thing now is whether the operation has already been implemented or not.

“How do you know that? The operation has not yet been approved by the director. No, where is the information kept leaking from?”

The last words were complaints spit out towards the agents around them.

As a result, the stinging agents’ necks almost crawled like Zara, but Lim still couldn’t calm his anger.

“Damn, I’d rather die than get sick.”

By the way, the lack of approval means that the operation has not yet been implemented.

Thousands of fortunate circumstances.

If so, it’s worth a try.

“Sorry, but we cannot disclose the source of the information. No matter what you do to me.”

Lim’s eyes narrowed at those words.

I wondered what would happen if I had to rush for an answer, but fortunately he didn’t ask the same question again.

“good. We’ll figure that out later, and tell us why we need to stop the operation.”

“The intent of the NIS to smuggle ICBMs is probably to secure ballistic missile technology and re-entry technology.”

“·················ogue.”

“But reverse engineering. In other words, there is no need to try unnecessary operations because there is a limit to the degree of reverse engineering.”

“Hmm······.”

A long shot spit out from the mouth of Deputy Chief Lim Hyo-shik.

It’s not like anyone else and the development team leader of a defense company is saying that it doesn’t seem like there’s no basis for it.

Nevertheless, the reason why he finally shakes his head is probably because of ADD’s claim.

Their proud claim that any weapon can be sufficiently developed through reverse engineering if only the real thing is obtained.

Damn, there was a time when I, too, fell into such arrogance.

“It’s a little different from ADD’s claim. Most of the ADD researchers, including Dr. Hwang, were confident that as long as they could acquire the real thing, they could develop it.”

Again, he mentioned ADD and doubted the credibility of my words.

However, it is impossible to say, ‘I am the person who once served as the head of that ADD, so listen to me.’

In the end, I brought the paper and pen from the counter and continued the explanation by drawing various symbols.

“The most important of the atmospheric re-entry technologies is the material technology that can withstand high temperatures.”

“I know that.”

“In addition, solid fuel-based propellant technology and highly precise gyro are also required, which are limited in development by simply reverse engineering, meaning that no matter how much ICBMs are imported by the National Intelligence Service, there is not much to be gained.”

He looked confused throughout the explanation.

I wonder what he was thinking, and after muttering alone for a while, a low voice spit out from his mouth.

“Hmm… if it’s as they say, in the end, if you want to acquire the perfect ballistic missile technology, you have no choice but to buy the original technology.”

Historically, that’s how it happened.

The NIS carried out the largest operation since the war and smuggled Russian ICBMs in the form of scrap metal.

However, in the end, the ADD failed to overcome the limit of technology, and in the end, our military concluded that it would try again from the development of short-range missiles.

So it was decided to buy Iskander’s technology from Russia and build it into our own platform.

That is the history of the development of the Hyunmoo 2A ballistic missile.

“Damn it… Somehow, those Generals Roske said they were willing to give me an ICBM. I’ll figure it out for now. Based on Jin Hyun-seung’s words, let’s discuss with the ADD officials again. Will the operation proceed as it is, or will Iskander’s technology be purchased through the Russian military?”

“No, you don’t have to buy it from Russia.”

“What else do you mean by that?”

Deputy Chief Lim Hyo-sik tilted his head.

“We can make enough ballistic missiles at the Iskander level even in Jaewoo. In fact, that was the fundamental reason I wanted to meet the deputy chief.”

“What else!”

It must have been something that could not be easily believed.

When it comes to ballistic missiles, the fact that there is a company with advanced missile technology of the Iskander class exists in this country, which is almost a technological barren land.

But where is the Iskander-class one?

After repeating research based on that, we have medium-range missile technology as well as space rocket technology using solid fuel.

In fact, if you have enough money, you can even develop an ICBM.

“Are you really saying that Jae-Woo has the technology to make ballistic missiles?”

“of course.”

“how?”

I was silent on that part for a while.

Deputy head Lim Hyo-sik, who was chewing his lips as if he was frustrated, after a while, ah! He shouted with an exclamation.

“Did you even buy missile technology from the Russian military?”

It would have been a scenario he could have imagined.

Considering the current dizzying situation in Russia, it was not particularly impossible, and the NIS actually brought in cruise missiles in that way.

I was also trying to use that as an excuse in the first place, so I quietly nodded my head.

“Heh heh, this is so… it’s amazing that a private military company can do such a thing. But, how did you not get caught?”

“What is that…….”

“You know that? It is said that our NIS received a lot of persecution from the Russian government even when it brought in one cruise missile. Well, you probably already know that, right? According to the message of Chairman Lee Ki-ho, Jin Hyun-seung mentioned that and pressured him to arrange a meeting with me.”

“It’s not about pressure, it’s about using the information you have. And, unfortunately, I can’t tell you how I managed to avoid the eyes of the Russian government. It was a means that sacrificed quite a lot in its own way.”

“It would have been. Because we were expecting that the sacrifices we would have to make would not be too great if we actually proceed with that operation. But is there no guarantee that technology will become a reality just because it is purchased? Jaewoo is not an ADD either.”

“You seem to be suspicious of Jaewoo’s technology, but it’s difficult to forget that ADD is a company that developed smart shells that we never even thought of.”

“·················ogue.”

“In other words, although ADD represents the country’s military technology, it does not have an absolute advantage. On the condition that you keep silent, in fact, we are already predicting the possibility of developing a warhead weight of up to 2 tons with a theoretical range of 800 kilometers.”

That was with Hyunmoo 4 in mind.

As a short-range missile, it is not lacking even if it is the strongest on the ground.

It has a whopping 2 ton warhead.

And a monster that collides at a speed of Mach 10 using the acceleration of gravity.

“A warhead weighing two tons? Oh no. If the range is 800 km…”

Deputy head Lim Hyo-shik immediately looked embarrassed.

The range is second to none, and if the warhead weight is 2 tons, the strategic value is enormous.

His eyes fluttered incessantly, as if he had imagined that we had it.

“But that is a story of possibility, and right now, we need to create something at a level where there will be no objection from neighboring countries.”

Even if that were the case, there would be opposition from neighboring countries.

To put it simply, it is difficult to create a ballistic missile for the first time, and to improve an already realized object is not that difficult.

This is actually the reason why the government kept silent for a long time even after developing a missile with a range of 500 km before returning, but it can be said that it was the right decision given the current international situation.

It would be foolish to expose your claws before you even have the right force.

“Hmm······.”

Lim, along with Ando, ​​looked worried for a while.

After some time had passed, he drank the wine at once and got up from his seat.

“I don’t think this is a problem that will be resolved in my line.”

what? what kind of bullshit is this

It’s not a problem I’ve come to solve on my own.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

that you are in charge

“I’m sorry, but give me a little time. Then sooner or later, the NIS will pick you up.”

“·················ogue.”

“Ah! Also, don’t worry if you see those friends around you for a while. It’s not about monitoring, it’s about protecting Executive Vice President Jin Hyun-seung from unforeseen circumstances.”

“······Yeah?”

******

“Executive Director…….”

A few days later, Lim sent some NIS staff to the office as promised.

Secretary Kim, who was quick-witted, told the truth with a look of embarrassment, and I followed them with the excuse of having lunch.

“Where are you going?”

“This is my gok-dong.”

In Naegok-dong, the headquarters of the NIS was located.

I had to go through a thorough search on my body for fear that someone wasn’t an intelligence officer, and even the briefcase I brought for the briefing had to go through the inspection for quite some time.

“Are you sure you’re seeing the head of the National Intelligence Service?”

The final destination was in front of the Office of the Director of the National Intelligence Service.

In the end, it means that he was the true supreme decision maker of the brown bear business.

As expected, inside the room with the door open, several middle-aged men including the head of the National Intelligence Service were occupied.

“Come on.”

The first person to reach out to me was the director of the National Intelligence Service.

At first glance, the name written on the nameplate on the desk was Ahn Si-hyeon.

Judging from his appearance, he does not seem to have come from the military, and he seemed to be a person with a thick bone in the information system.

“This is Jaeuthales Jin Hyun-seung.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Ahn Si-hyeon, the head of the National Intelligence Service.”

His tone was quite stern.

It must be said that it does not suit the position of the national intelligence officer of the Han country.

Well, that’s just the external side, and I still don’t know what’s inside.

“Is everyone gathered?”

Just as we shook hands and were about to sit down, the door opened again and someone came in.

jump!

People who stood up in an instant.

When I turned my head in a puzzled mind, a familiar figure stood there with a mochi.

“Minister of Defense?”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-31
