Chapter 42

[True cooperation?][Well, actually, this issue does not mean official cooperation between the Korean government and the Russian government. It’s just that we, Jaewoo Group and a Russian military company want to cooperate.]

Alexei looked at him with round eyes.

I’m cautious about my hand holding a coffee cup, perhaps because I felt the atmosphere was unusual in my tone of voice.

[I don’t know what you’re talking about.][Then let’s make it easy. An anti-aircraft missile currently being developed by the Almaz company. We know that development is being delayed due to some technical problems, and we will solve it for you. Instead, I would like Jaewoo and Almaz to jointly develop long-range air-to-air missiles in the future.]

Historically, during this time Russia was developing a new anti-aircraft missile to counter the US Patriot.

Our government, noticing this, proposed joint development to Russia and established cooperation.

The thing that came out was our heavenly palace. And Russia is Vityaz. That is, the S-350.

[Huh…]

But I’m going to twist that history a bit.

If it is the yard where joint development begins, you should see the end.

What I am aiming for is the S-500, which Russia has developed based on its unique technology. In other words, it is a high-altitude missile defense system, and if possible, even it will be developed cooperatively to achieve technology accumulation.

Only then will it be possible to build its own high-altitude missile defense system that will replace SM3 in the future.

[The proposal is plausible, but what specifically will Jaewoo solve?][If you dare, it can compensate for the decrease in precision caused by poor semiconductor technology. In particular, if we improve the TR module, which has just passed the level of vacuum tubes, it will not be a loss for Russia.][Hmm……]

Alexei looked like he was in trouble.

However, the reason we expect a positive response soon is that Russia will have no solution other than cooperation with us in the end.

Historically, the joint development of the S-350 was also made for that reason.

[I will report the matter as soon as I get back. By the way, I didn’t know that the level of the Korean intelligence service was this high. Even the fact that our anti-aircraft missile was developed is to the extent that we know it in detail.

Alexei looked at the head of the National Intelligence Service first and said.

Surprised by his sudden gaze, the director of the National Intelligence Service closed his eyes for a long time and then looked at me secretly.

“By the way, where does Executive Director Jin get such information?”

“The Russian military has its own route of information. In fact, obtaining Iskander’s technology was a big help from that friend.”

“Ah······.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service looked in agreement.

Damn, if you keep lying, you’ll get used to it.

I’m afraid that if I open my mouth like this, lies will come out.

[Anyway, it’s true that it’s a good offer. There is a strong possibility that my superiors will feel the same way.]

Then, as expected, Alexei secretly shone a light of positivity.

He soon raised the coffee cup again, looked straight at us and continued.

[If we can jointly develop long-range missiles, the burden will be greatly reduced for our government, which is under financial pressure, without knowing anything else.]

His expression was somehow different from before.

Do you think the hostility is gone?

The atmosphere of the conversation that followed was actually very different from the first one.

[As you may be aware, we, Russia, never neglect our loyal opponents. If Korea gets closer to us on this occasion, there will be quite a lot to gain.]

I agree with the saying that there is a lot to gain without knowing anything else.

Historically, we were able to grasp the level of weapons between North Korea and China through the Brown Bear Project, and we succeeded in cutting off arms supply to North Korea as well as halting military cooperation with Russia.

But what I want is more than that.

If you give one, you can get heat. The current situation in Russia.

Shouldn’t they be sucking up their skills until the very end?

[Because you know that, you are not making this suggestion.][It’s nice to know. By the way, this is the end of the airframe supply, so when will we be able to receive the millimeter wave radar test results?]

While deep in thought, Alexei brought up the core topic of today’s meeting.

In retrospect, that is the urgent issue right now.

I counted the date for a moment and then replied.

[It will be possible in 3 months at the earliest. We also need time to analyze the software source code.][I hope to have a good result by all means. If it is secured, Black Shark’s ground operational capability will reach the same level as that of Apache, so it will be possible to export.]

Perhaps that was the reason.

The reason why they were active in technology exchange while thinking of releasing that important software.

It seems that he is trying to survive the economic crisis with arms exports, but in order to do that, he will have to create something that can be sold.

In the end, it is their will to make up for what they lack in us.



[Well, I guess I should have said this in advance. If the test is successfully completed and the technology transfer of the KA-50 is really executed, it will probably be the original rather than the downgrade.][··········.]

I was surprised by the unexpected words.

Why is Russia constantly downgrading arms exports?

Are you trying to ask us for the original, not the downgrade?


[Don’t get me wrong. That doesn’t mean that Korea should show the same attitude.]

Fortunately, Alexei immediately dispelled my anxiety.

In terms of tone, it feels like we’re already guessing we’re going to send a downgrade.

The problem is that even though you know it, it’s kind of questionable to have such an attitude.

[Why did you make that decision?][Well, that’s a higher-level idea, so I don’t know. Well, maybe it’s the same reason why you suggested the joint development of anti-aircraft missiles to us.]

That was actually a hint.

At the same time, the thing that crossed my mind is that all people have the same thoughts.

In other words, I’m not the only one who thinks of giving flesh and taking bones.

‘Well, right now, the pace of development in Korea’s military field is at its highest level since history due to Jaewoo, but if you don’t think that there will be something that I will miss out on, it would be even more terrifying.’

So in the end, that favor is a bait, a bait that I have no reason to refuse.

[Okay, then, I’m done with what I have to do, so I guess I’ll have to leave.]

Alexei, who was in the middle of a conversation, suddenly looked at the clock.

The same goes for the NIS.

As soon as he realized that something urgent was going on, he jumped up and held out his hand.

[Are you going already?][If you stay for a long time, you will only get caught up in the information networks of American kids. Unfortunately, today’s meeting seems to have to end at this point.]

He held his hand, showing his regretful expression.

The moment you turn around, your lips quiver, not knowing what else to say.

[Coming to think of it, it doesn’t seem quite impossible.][What do you mean?][Exchanging our fighter technology for an atomic spin gyro.][··········.]

I was blown away by those words.

Because this was an unexpected development.

My heart is pounding and my lips don’t even come off.

[Actually, the atomic spin gyro is absolutely necessary for the strategic weapon we are developing. Because of this, there is a possibility that my superiors will sooner or later ask for a conversation about the matter again.]

There was something that flashed through my mind for a moment.

Hypersonic cruise missile.

I’m not sure, but it was around this time that Russia planned it.

If not, is it an attempt to increase the precision of small tactical nuclear missiles?

[Then I’ll get back to you soon. Ah! And when I contact you later, I will do it in person. As you know, the level of wiretapping in the US is not normal.]

Alexei turned away with a meaningful smile.

The head of the National Intelligence Service and I, who watched his car leave, stared blankly at each other for a while.

“I don’t think this is just a story to be told?”

“That’s it. Let’s go up to Seoul and talk again.”

******

“Don’t let anyone into the conference room.”

Arriving at the National Intelligence Service again, the director and I immediately found a room equipped with facilities to prevent wiretapping.

I didn’t even speak a word the whole time I was there, wondering if there would be any ears to hear.

As if relieved now, the director of the NIS hurriedly opened his mouth as soon as he entered the room.

“What do you think, if Russia really wants to exchange the technology of the atomic spin gyro and the Sukhoi fighter?”

“We have to think about the overall technology, including the flight control system that Russia is proud of. The problem is the United States, and Russia wants a gyro to increase the precision of its small tactical nuclear missile. ”

The manager nodded his head as if agreeing to that.

Just as a bitter smile was about to appear on his face, for some reason he suddenly pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.

“Do you smoke too?”

“I think it’s been over two months since I stopped smoking, but I should smoke it today. Can I give you one, too?”

“Isn’t this a non-smoking area?”

“Is the non-smoking area a problem now? If you don’t smoke this right now, you won’t feel at peace.”

He lit a cigarette and inhaled his smoke.

Contrary to his shouting, he stared at the smoke detector on the ceiling the whole time to see if he noticed, but eventually put out his cigarette with an annoyed attitude.

“Damn, it’s dirty, so it doesn’t bloom.”

eating.

There was impatience in his actions.

That is proof that this issue cannot be easily thought of.

He rolled his eyes for a while longer to see what he was thinking, then looked at me and said.

“Let’s report it to you first. And if possible, I stick to the swap side.”

“·················ogue.”

“Honestly, I understand that Executive Director Jin is concerned about the United States. But it’s not going to happen any time soon, so don’t worry about that.”

“On what grounds….”

“Honestly, where would Russia use an atomic spin gyro? What comes to mind right now is the development of small tactical nuclear missiles, as Jin said, but Russia doesn’t have the economic leeway to develop it anyway. So, the problem will not be revealed to the world right now.”

There was a point.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

But why do I keep thinking that’s not the reason?

I wonder if the real reason they need an atomic spin gyro is not because of the small tactical nuclear warhead, but because of the development of hypersonic cruise missiles.

Well, even then, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, it will take a long time for Russia to release a hypersonic cruise missile to the world.

“Then how about doing this?”

I opened my mouth after thinking.

The head of the National Intelligence Service, who had been choking for a moment, immediately turned to me.

“It’s about taking the promise. Even if we develop a new tactical nuclear missile with the gyro technology we provided, we will not directly test it until a certain amount of time has passed.”

“Hmm… will that work?”

“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work, isn’t it because I don’t want them to comply with the condition anyway, but because I want to prescribe the drug?”

“Are you on drugs?”

“It’s a kind of paving stone for stepping out. We’ve clearly warned, so if we break our promise, we’ll pretend we don’t know where the technology came from. In severe cases, you may claim to the public that you stole our technology… So, act with that in mind, this is it.”

“Hey, that’s a good idea. By the way, can I accept that saying that Executive Vice President Jin also agrees to the exchange?”

Actually, that might be better.

It is a historical fact that Russia will develop the atomic spin gyro in the future even if it is not me anyway.

Wouldn’t it be a better choice to receive the ransom as much as possible when you can get it?

As in the case of millimeter wave radar.

“Yes, I agree. But you know it’s going to be hard to use for a while, right?”

“Yes, of course. Now that KAI is developing a supersonic trainer with Nokid Martin, it is absurd to develop another in-house fighter. But what about having the skills first?”

The head of the National Intelligence Service revealed his expression when I agreed with his opinion.

I wonder what he was thinking, and he immediately rolled his eyes and looked at me.

“Then let me first report to your lord the stories we talked about. Ah! Note that only us should be aware of this fact. Only you, me, and Executive Director Jin.”

He got up from his seat with an expression like that of a general heading to the battlefield.

The moment that stubborn will spread to me. Suddenly, the intercom hanging on the wall spit out a loud ringing sound.

“It’s a fucking surprise!”



“·················ogue.”

I stared blankly at the sudden insult.

He was on the phone with an expression of wanting to miss him soon, but hung up the phone with an awkward smile.

“Your Excellency is looking for me.”

“·················ogue.”
