Chapter 54

After putting off the meeting that was scheduled for this morning, we headed to the Ritz Hotel.

Unlike usual, I thought the security was strict from the entrance, but when I reached the lobby, the entry of outsiders was completely controlled.

“I think so, Chairman Jin.”

As I headed to the lobby with a puzzled mind, one of the NIS agents who just recognized me waved my hand in the lobby urgently.

As a signal, the security guards paved the way as if the Red Sea was splitting, and soon the head of the National Intelligence Service appeared.

“You arrived early. Just follow me.”

“Why is the atmosphere here like this? Did I have an accident?”

I quickly followed him and asked.

What’s so busy, he replies without stopping.

“It wasn’t an accident, it was an important guest.”

“It’s like this because someone visited.”

Stop.

The head of the National Intelligence Service stopped at that moment.

“Prince Mohammed of the United Arab Emirates entered the United Arab Emirates unofficially this morning. So now the whole hotel is full of them.”

“Did you rent the whole hotel?”

“They say it was for safety, but I was actually surprised.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service replied with a smile.

Soon after passing the search bar that had been installed by the National Intelligence Service, he beckons me to pass quickly.

“Wait a minute, Director, do you know what this is?”

Instantly, he recalled an object he had found on his phone, and immediately took it out and showed it.

At the same time, the eyes of the Director of the National Intelligence Service are getting bigger.

He snatched it up quickly, beckoned to another NIS agent far away, and asked again.

“Where did you get this from?”

“I found it on my phone, but is that what I was thinking?”

“Yes, it is a signal interference device. Judging from the shape, it looks like something made so that it can receive signals even from a fairly long distance…”

He tilted his head without saying a word.

Suddenly, one eyebrow lifted slightly, and his expression became serious again.

“Why?”

“In this state, when the owner of the mobile phone opens the cover to change the battery, it is supposed to be revealed immediately, but I don’t know who it is, but isn’t it too lax?”

“Actually, I am also saying that I am confused. Was it because he was deliberately disguised as an amateur to confuse his identity, or was he really lacking in skills.”

“Well, first, I’ll send you to the analysis room, so let’s see the results.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service handed the device to the approaching agent.

Turning back, he still spoke to me with a firm expression on his face.

“Does anyone around you have any guesses?”

“······I do not know.”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to find anyone around me to be suspicious of.

The only people closest to me are Secretary Kim and Secretary Yang, but they are not the ones who would do such a thing.

I wondered who it might be in the secretary’s office, but they also didn’t have a chance to access the cell phone that was always out of my body.

“Ah!”

But then, I suddenly remembered what had happened two days ago.

The fact that he went to the sauna to relieve the fatigue accumulated during that time.

“It is highly likely. It’s the best place to keep your phone away from your body. Moreover, there is no CCTV in the locker room, so it is difficult to identify the culprit unless caught on the spot. Where were our staff in the sauna by any chance?”

“One was in the bath with me and my bodyguards. The other remained in the locker room.”

“You mean this happened while our agent was guarding the locker room?”

His expression grew a little more serious.

“Then it’s one of the two cases… either our employee has lost his eye, or the other person isn’t the kind of person to look up to. Damn, this is getting more and more absurd. But is there anyone among the president’s bodyguards that could be suspicious?”

“These friends would know better that they would be the first to be suspicious like now, so would you do something like this?”

“Still, there is no business in money.”

“I do not know. I don’t think it’s going to go away with any money. It’s because I’m in a situation where I pay a lot of money.”

“How much is the bodyguard’s salary . . .”

“Did you say? He said that he would not betray me for any amount of money.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service looked at me with his eyes wide open.

After a while, an expression similar to a sense of wonder passed in his eyes as he looked at my bodyguards on the other side.

“By the way, was there anything that could cause information to be leaked in the meantime? Whatever it is, information about the businesses that are going on.”

“For the past few days, the office has been concentrating on understanding the business of distribution affiliates, so there is no possibility of that. I never spoke to the lab or to Thales.”

“Well, that’s good.”

The director of the National Intelligence Service looked more troubled for a while after that.

You must be thinking that the attempt to approach me once started will not end there.



Actually, I’m already looking for a solution in my head.

“For now, let’s do this. In the future, use the anti-eavesdropping device provided by the National Intelligence Service. And, if you allow, we will also change our office and home telephones to those we provide and check them from time to time. Well, I’ll give you a portable detector just in case, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check your surroundings frequently.

“Can we not worry about the Institute and Thales?”

“It’s like a fortress right now. Besides, we check several times a day, so there is nothing to worry about.”

I nodded willingly.

Perhaps the embarrassment still lingered, the director of the NIS shook his head and hurried to walk again.

smart!

After a while, we arrived at the largest private room in the hotel.

When the door opened, he saw men with white turbans on their heads.

Among them, the oldest is probably Prince Mohammed, who holds the most core power among the emirates of the UAE.

[Nice to meet you. Anyway, I was just talking about the Director of the National Intelligence Service and Chairman Jin Hyun-seung a while ago.]

Mohammed’s English pronunciation was very good.

It’s because he went to college in America when he was young.

It seems that there is no need to worry about not being able to communicate.

“Before the two of you talk, let me explain in advance.”

The director of the National Intelligence Service, who had been aiming for the timing to intervene, opened his mouth.

Perhaps he understood the situation, at that moment Mohammed quietly nodded his head.

“Actually, I have called Chairman Jin to this meeting because I have one thing to discuss.”

“What do you mean?”

“The UAE is said to have made an unofficial visit this time to see if it is possible to establish an HVP in their own country. Is it possible?”

It wasn’t impossible.

Anyway, in the case of the United States, it has promised to transfer technology.

There is a quantity that was originally scheduled to be delivered to the US Navy, so if only the Ministry of National Defense permits it, it can be changed.

“What does the Ministry of Defense say?”

“They said that about eight vehicles could cover the key defensive areas excluding the mountainous areas. And for the rest, it doesn’t matter much because we need to allocate the budget for next year anyway.”

“Then it will be possible. But where the hell are you going to install it in the UAE?”

“Dubai. In other words, it seems to be wary of Iran. As you know, Dubai and Iran are separated by the Strait of Hormuz, which is only 50 kilometers wide. In addition, the relationship between the UAE and the United States has become increasingly ambiguous, so it seems that they are trying to cope with an unexpected situation. In the worst case, if Iran fires multiple rockets at Dubai, there is nothing to do.”

It was quick to understand what it meant.

For the UAE, which is thinking of making Dubai the flower of the Middle East, Iran, with only 50 kilometers of sea in between, may be uneasy.

In the meantime, the appearance of HVP must have been like a rain of drought for them.

“But the rocket launcher isn’t the only problem, right? What about Scud?”

But the problem remains.

Iran’s vast stock of Scud missiles.

It’s impossible to stop it with HVP, which falls at a speed of seven times the speed of sound.

“That is precisely what Prince Mohammed is concerned about. So I wanted to discuss that part with you.”

After saying those words, the head of the National Intelligence Service looked at Prince Mohammed.

It’s as if he’s done with what he has to say, and he looks at him telling him to say something.

As if understanding the situation, Mohammed immediately continued.

[We have traditionally used mostly American weapons. So I originally planned to introduce the Patriot to counter Iran’s Scud missiles.][By the way?][The Gulf War made that decision hesitant. The American press was raving about Patriot’s interception rate, but no idiot believes it. So we want Jauthales to develop anti-aircraft missiles.]

I wondered what kind of nonsense this was again.

Closing his eyes, Mohammed spoke again.

[If you have a technique that can catch shells, you can’t catch missiles. Hani is saying that if it is Jaewoo, it is possible.][You seem to have misunderstood, but catching ballistic missiles is different from intercepting shells.][I know. But don’t you already have radar and guidance systems? In other words, can’t we just develop an interceptor?][··········.]

To his dismay, his words were exactly the same.

Radar with great detection range and precision. And a guidance system that catches shells. In the end, it is our reality that even the defense of ballistic missiles is possible if there is an appropriate interception means.

I wonder what the interest is supposed to mean?

Either way, it doesn’t seem like that.

[Actually, development is scheduled. However, the budget has not been secured yet, so it will take some time.][If money is a problem, we solve it.]

He doubted his ears for a moment.

As he tilts his head, he says emphatically.

[The development cost of the interceptor is to be borne by us.][Sorry, but are you planning on doing joint development?][I would like to, but we don’t have an industrial base for that yet. So, I mean, purely, we’ll pay for it.][··········.][Of course, there are conditions. If development is successful, we are the first to deploy.]

I immediately looked at the head of the NIS.

“Is it possible?”

“I have already informed the military and the Blue House. Perhaps they are also holding a meeting on this issue by now, but there is a high chance of getting a positive response.”

[Hmm······.]

He closed his eyes in confusion.

Then I suddenly thought that before the return, there was a similar situation.

Was that around 2020?

Anyway, at that time, ADD started developing short-range ballistic missiles to neutralize the multiple rocket launchers hidden in the caves in the north, and as a result, they created an outstanding product called KTSSM, which the UAE imported first.

Items that have not yet been deployed to our military.

[Isn’t it worth the cost?][It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Shouldn’t it cost tens of billions of dollars?]

It was a moment when I felt the power of oil money.

By the way, how am I supposed to interpret this situation?

[The conditions are not bad, right?](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Mohammed hastened my answer.

Well, I don’t really have any reason to object.

After all, it was planned to jointly develop anti-aircraft missiles with Russia in the near future.

But, if the UAE pays me, I’m not in a situation where I blow my nose without touching it.

[good.]

He gladly answered and held out his hand.

All that remains is to discuss specific development plans and payment methods.

I spent almost half a day with Mohammed, canceling all my scheduled appointments.

smart!

“Master. That’s Insu Cha, the manager.”

Then, one of the NIS staff hurriedly knocked on the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he whispered something to the Director of the National Intelligence Service, and the Director, who looked very surprised, gestured towards me and led me to the other room.

“We just finished analyzing the wiretapping device, and according to the analyst, the culprit is probably the Chinese Ministry of Intelligence.”

“·················ogue.”

“Some parts were made in Japan and camouflaged, but the circuit pattern is similar to the method mainly used by the Chinese intelligence service. In other words, you cannot hide your technical skills. It seems that there is a growing interest in Chairman Jin in China.”

“Hmm······.”

“Anyway, it is best to be careful in the future. If you don’t catch these things in the field, you can’t even appeal to them diplomatically. Do you remember the rule I told you earlier?”

“of course.”

“What are you going to do if it bothers you? Now that is the fate of Chairman Jin.”

He gently placed his hand on my shoulder and said comforting words.

The strange thing is that there is no particular tension in him.

Seriously, as the head of the intelligence department, where have you experienced something like this once or twice?

Maybe the way I feel about the case itself is different from mine.

“Ah! And. Our staff just told us one more thing, Dad Brown Bear just invited Chairman Jin to Russia through the official diplomatic route.”

“Why me?”

“For this gyro and fighter technology exchange, Deputy Director Lim decided to go to Russia, but Daddy Brown Bear wants Chairman Jin to come directly instead of Deputy Director Lim.”

His whispers made me feel as if something had finally come.

The funny thing is that the situation is overly exquisite.

Isn’t this like a god’s arrangement with the angler’s bite?

Wait, maybe someone is really involved in my life, right?

“Chairman Jin. I asked him what he was going to do.”

“··········What is it? Of course I have to go. But I have one request.”

“Please speak.”

“Can’t we change the expression for that daddy brown bear to something else? In fact, there is no image match with the person concerned.”

“Hmm, then we’ll play the boss brown bear.

“·················ogue.”
