Chapter 5

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-05

“The president is waiting in the private room.”

We arrived at the Hanjeongsik house inside the hotel.

It seems it wasn’t just a simple lunch spot.

The first thing that caught my eye was the appearance of company executives gathering three or three and five and talking to someone on the phone.

“Come on.”

A table full of food was already on the table where Chairman Jin was sitting.

As if waiting for me, he picks up a spoon at the same time as me and starts eating porridge without saying anything.

“Did something happen?”

“What’s the job, let’s have lunch together.”

Contrary to his indifferent tone, his eyes were smiling.

Pretty satisfied face.

You can guess what the reason is, and in this case, it would be best to wait for the purpose to come out first.

“The report has been reviewed. To be honest, it exceeded my expectations.”

The main point came when the meal was over.

As he drank the water without showing any expression, this time suddenly a joke word came flying in.

“As I was watching the video, I suddenly thought that I wanted to find those who slapped you in the head with a bottle.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“If this is the case, there is no need to give them a prize. Because in a way, it can be said that it is thanks to them that you suddenly did a dog and cheonseon.”

“The award has already been given to you by Secretary Kim, so you don’t have to worry about it. The envelopes I gave them at the time looked pretty thick.”

Chairman Jin smiled at the remarks he had taken to set the mood.

Was he unfamiliar with himself?

He coughs in vain and changes his expression.

“Hmm, in any case, I paid a bonus to the institute in a way that would not be disappointing. They also suffered, so they should be compensated.”

“I’m happy. Then maybe the reason you called me was because of the bounty?”

For a moment, Chairman Jin looked at him with an absurd tone.

But the eyes are still full of smiles.

At that moment, he felt that he wanted to take it a little further.

“After all, do you know that my father is in a situation where he has to pay me for technology rather than a bonus?”

“What cost?”

“Royalty. It is not a technology developed by Thales, so of course you have to pay me royalties.”

“Are you serious?”

Even though he seemed to be arguing, his expression was gentle.

Maybe it was the first time with me. No, as if enjoying this selfless conversation with Hyunseung.

The funny thing is that it’s not only that, I also felt like I was recovering from my estranged father.

“Of course I am serious. Actually, I am running out of cash these days.”

The expression of anger did not disappear.

Just as I thought I might have gone too far, I cried out and cut off the last remaining string of awkwardness.

“Tsuk, this new yacht looks like it’s for sale without even riding it. Blood can’t be deceived. I wonder why it looks so much like me.”

“It’s easy to get insulted when you ride a yacht or something like these days.”

“Is that what you mean from your point of view?”

“It’s advice I can give because I have experience.”

At the successive jokes, Chairman Jin spit out a wild laugh.

Perhaps I was surprised, and a startled expression appeared on Secretary Kim’s face, who had been staring at us from the other side the whole time.

“Anyway, let’s think about the royalty issue first. And actually, that’s why I asked to see you.”

Chairman Jin, who suddenly changed his expression, handed me a roll of paper.

Mass production confirmation request.

That was the first header.

“Have you already submitted this to the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”

“The army should have roasted it a bit before. After all, the final test was over anyway, so I was in a bit of a hurry to get to work, but, as it turns out, the meeting was held immediately today, one day after the documents were received.”

Chairman Jin looked like he had a pretty rare experience.

I was surprised as well.

It takes at least a month or more for the meeting to be convened after the original request for mass production, but it is beyond common sense to say that it was advanced to just one day.

“As soon as the meeting is over, you will know how much mass production has been decided.”

“how? Isn’t it a principle not to disclose the results to the outside until a report is made to the president?”

“What are the principles? Where did the military work according to the rules?”

“·················ogue.”

“I know that the commander of the 7th Mobile Army, who I am familiar with, has decided to inform you of the results in advance.”

There was something about those words that made me realize.

I am living in an era where power transcends the law.

In fact, in today’s social environment, such an expedient would not be a big deal for those in power.

“The 7th Mobile Corps is the biggest beneficiary of the AP shells we developed. But how much quantity do you expect your father to order?”

“Of course, I want the ammunition stockpile for warfare to be decided. So at least 100,000 feet?”

“Even if we don’t, we are in a situation where sales of about 200 billion won are generated.”

“We should focus on operating profit rather than sales. I think we will secure about 45 billion won of spare funds.”

“No, in the case of special ammunition, the operating profit rate is set at 30 percent, so you can think of it as close to 60 billion won.”



“Maybe that much?”

“It is possible because we have increased added value in the material area. Anyway, if we combine the 60 billion won with our existing reserves, we will be able to develop weapons on our own in the future.”

His last words were meant to confuse him in his heart.

I thought I would be able to judge whether or not my plans were being tried in the future by seeing the reaction.

If you are outraged by those words, the development of new weapons will go over the water for a while, and if you are favourable, you will seize the opportunity to show off weapons that will turn the world upside down one after another.

“With that scale, of course, self-development is possible. Why, do you have any plans?”

Fortunately, Chairman Jin showed a positive attitude.

No, rather than asking my intentions.

At this point, it is a great improvement over the past.

“First of all, precision induction…”

Burr!

As he was about to speak, the cell phone of a nearby group executive vibrated.

It seems that it is a phone call to inform the result of the mass production meeting, as Chairman Jin’s gaze is turned around at once.

“This is Lieutenant General Kim Tae-ik, Chairman.”

“Looks like the meeting is over. What are you doing if you don’t get it?”

The executive quickly pressed the call button at the harsh words.

At one point, people’s eyes were pouring on him.

As if nervous, Chairman Jin was also drenched in water.

“Yeah?”

A puzzled expression crossed the face of the executive who was talking on the phone.

As if receiving an ominous feeling, Chairman Jin’s eyes narrowed.

“What’s going on?”

“Amount and mass production have been drastically reduced…”

Frightened, the executive hesitated to answer.

At the moment when I thought that even I was going to run out of breath due to the stuffiness, suddenly Chairman Jin tried to call somewhere.

“Hello, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

The call went on for a while.

Chairman Jin’s face, which showed various facial expressions throughout the whole time, was almost black at the end.

“Damn it!”

“Is this bad news?”

“It’s not that bad, it’s…”

“To what extent are you?”

“The expected order for the ammunition stockpiled in preparation for war went over the water, and they said that they would only receive 7,000 rounds a year for five years.”

If it is 7000 rounds a year, it is a quantity on a formal level.

No, second to that, we can’t even get the development cost.

I’m curious as to why it suddenly changed after being urged like that.

“For what?”

“They say it’s because the budget was cut due to the worst economic crisis, and there’s no fool to believe that.”

“Are you saying there is another reason?”

“There was a story that had been told secretly before. Maybe the army will concede this year’s budget to the navy in order to keep the budget for the large-scale power enhancement project scheduled for next year. Hopefully, those sparks will hit us.”

“What is the size of the army’s business planned for next year?”

“Two trillion won. It’s not that common.”

Suddenly, the whole story of this situation was drawn in my head.

200 billion won business and 2 trillion won business.

So, what is the difference in the replacement rebate amount?

In the end, saying that they sacrificed a small for the sake of a large is just bullshit, and the old men of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have saved a business that will fill their pockets even a little more.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“How often were we scheduled?”

“What?”

Chairman Jin was taken aback by the spit-out question.

For some reason, he stared at him for a long time, and then he smiled sadly.

“It’s pretty good. In that short span of time, you can figure out what the crux of the problem is.

“Because I know the military generals of this country too well. Anyway, how much did you plan to give?”

“I never promised. After all, what is the rebate in Madang, a business that we started purely with our own capital?”

If true, I wondered if that was the cause.

From their point of view, there would have been no need to keep a business that had nothing to do with it.

So what now?

I don’t know if it was really a choice for the development of the military.

We can’t just let the old people in the back room give up what they’ve created while going against history just because of the pockets of the old people.

“I’m not going to make a face like that. Because you did your best.”

“·················ogue.”

“It must be disappointing, but the thing to brush up on is that it’s good for your mental health to brush it off quickly. If you want to keep this business going for a long time.”

On the contrary, I was a little embarrassed by the attitude of Chairman Jin who comforted me.

It’s also surprising to see a distribution that can be so calm after hearing such a sad news.

But I wasn’t in disappointment right now.

I was just looking for a way to solve the variable that occurred.

No, actually the method existed from the beginning, but I was just looking for the first button to put it into action.

“I am not disappointed. We have nothing to lose anyway.”

“There is nothing to lose, don’t you know that the order volume has been cut by one-tenth right now?”

“You don’t know. But what if there was a place that could buy more than the Army?”

“·················ogue.”

Chairman Jin widened his eyes.

Since then, there have been eyes asking for specific explanations, but there are too many eyes to answer here.

“In that sense, there is one thing Father can do for you.”
