Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 57

[Come here!]

The next day, when we arrived at the Prime Minister’s residence, it was Alexei, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, who greeted us.

His face hardened as if he was conscious of the previous day’s events, and he continued to rant about yesterday’s events while guiding him to the place of conversation.

[It was disrespectful to Russia to attach a tail to the guest we invited. So, please understand the result.]

I couldn’t even bring up the question of whether the Japanese intelligence agent was really dead.

If he was excited like that, what would the outcome be?

If there is one thing that is sure to be gained from this opportunity, it is that there is no need to worry about information leakage as much as the anti-aircraft missile development project to be carried out with Russia.

Especially if you think about China, which is trying to steal information from military companies in all countries right now.

[Well, I have something to tell you before I meet the Prime Minister. Now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau said that the procurement plan has been canceled and there are several Su-27M prototypes being decorated. If you are thinking of taking the real thing for technical demonstration and analysis, it would not be bad to ask if it is possible to purchase.][Is that possible?][Hey, if we export even one, that’s money. Is there any reason to refuse? And Korea is in a situation where they pay a fair price and take the technology anyway, so there’s no reason for us to question it just because we tear it apart.]

If true, it was a very pleasant situation for me.

Still, reverse engineering was essential for quick analysis, and for that purpose, even the used aircraft used by Russia had to be obtained.

[By the way, it seems that Korea has really made up its mind toward self-development.]

At that moment, Alexei threw a boney horse.

I looked at him silently, and he continued with a smirk.

[If this is the case, is it not a problem you can think of? Moreover, South Korea is currently preparing for the selection process for the next fighter.]

He replied with an awkward laugh.

Then he spoke again with a very serious expression on his face.

[Twk, it would have been better if we had bought the next Korean fighter jet as ours, but what can we do? that things are already going this way. Seriously, I have to be certain of one thing. It is clear that we transferred technology, not licensed production. It is difficult to make a perfect copy.]

I also have no intention of completely copying Sukhoi.

I’m just trying to get what I can get.

For example, the core algorithm of engine software.

I would like to refer to the design idea of ​​Sukhoi, which shows great mobility even though it violates the aerodynamic formula, through complete reverse engineering.

In addition, it would be very helpful for our shape design changes in the future if we could know how a twin design with a gap between the two engines, such as the Tomcat, affects the maneuverability.

To put it simply, the situation is completely different from the F-15K, where you can’t open a single screw at will, and let’s make the most of that opportunity.

[The Prime Minister has arrived.]

This time, the door to the lobby where we were at was opened at the same time as someone shouted to replace the answer with laughter.

The person who came in soon was the person I knew.

The tsar, who will hold Russia in his hand and shake it for decades to come, was coming straight towards me.

[Nice to meet you.]

Except for Lim, the party had awkward expressions as if they were unfamiliar with Putin’s face.

But a face that is too familiar to me.

If there was one thing that was a little disconcerting, it was that I looked much shorter than I expected.

[If it’s still before dinner, would you like to join us? Actually, I haven’t eaten anything since I’ve been heading here since early in the morning.]

He suggested a meal before the conversation.

After all, he must have felt that his gaze on himself had become rigid because of yesterday’s incident.

Fortunately, whether the intention worked or not, the conversations between the tables became more natural as time went on.

“Chief Lim. I’m sorry, but how about if the NIS agents wait outside for a while?”

After a moment of silence, he whispered to Lim.

Noticing his intention, he immediately nodded his head, and promptly dismissed Lim Hyuk-soo and other agents from their seats.

[As you may have already guessed, the reason I asked to see Chairman Jin Hyun-seung in person was to discuss the anti-aircraft missile development project in detail. In addition, if possible, I had the idea that we could proceed with further cooperative projects.]

By the end of the meal, Putin spoke again.

It was the timing when I just put down my fork.

He looked at him and asked.

[More than that, what kind of business are you talking about?][Well, that matter should be discussed now.]

He showed an attitude of going overboard even after he had brought out his words.

I mean, it’s like watching a liver?

It certainly differs from Western politicians in many ways.

[I do not know what you are going to discuss, but if that is the way for the development of both countries, we listen with an open mind. But if it’s not rude, can I ask you a favor before the technology exchange?]

Putin, who nodded his head, glanced at me at the last words.

It’s like if you have something to say, do it.

Anyway, I opened my mouth with the feeling that I should go to the yard all the way here.

[Could you please send the software designers of the Sukhoi Design Bureau to us?][··········.]

Putin looked at me with a smirk at those words.

A face with a negative connotation.

I spoke with a sense of urgency.

[Actually, the Prime Minister is also well aware that software is not simply solved by acquiring an algorithm. Hani believes that the Sukhoi Design Bureau’s know-how is necessary for effective technology transfer and improvement to suit our situation. Besides, isn’t the Sukhoi Design Bureau also in a situation where it has to adjust its workforce due to the economic crisis? If we hire that person, to each other…][That is difficult.]

While he was talking for a long time, he expressed his will of refusal.

As he stares at him, he picks up the teacup and puts his four legs on it.

[As you know, there are many talented people who have left Russia. Therefore, even if our economic situation improves again in the future, we are in a situation where there are not enough people to protect our technology.]

He had nothing to say, so he was silent.

The outflow of Russian technical manpower is almost on the verge of collapse of the industrial base.

Considering the future, in fact, we will have to prevent further outflow of manpower.

Ttt, is it still difficult?

[I heard that the acquisition of Motorsich is already in progress, so we can’t just cooperate with those people.]

Then, Putin spoke again.

[Of course, that could also be a way. Therefore, when the merger agreement is completed, there will be people-to-people exchanges. But where is Motorsitch’s fighter software technology comparable to that of the Sukhoi Design Bureau?]

Putin was silent again.

Just as I wondered if it meant refusal, he suddenly said something unexpected.

[How about sending the researchers there instead?][··········.][Of course, safety is our responsibility and guarantee.]

As long as safety is guaranteed, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

There’s no reason to bother with people who don’t teach skills anyway, but come to learn.

But the moment he was willing to nod his head, he suddenly put a condition on it.

[If you listen to my request instead.]

He looked around as he spoke.

What signal was that, Alexei and all the Russians immediately got up and left the room, and soon Putin looked back at us and said,

[Sorry, but from now on, Deputy Chief Lim and I. And I only want to talk to Chairman Jin Hyun-seung.]

Whoops.

The head of the bodyguard looked at me as soon as I could not speak.

Nodding his head, he immediately got up from his chair with Secretary Kim, and in the end there were only three of them left in the spacious hall.

[The anti-aircraft defense system construction project planned for this time. I think it’s a bit disappointing that it simply ends with the establishment of a short-range defense system, but what do you think of Chairman Jin?]

Putin picked up a steaming teacup and brought out the main point.

By the way, that means that Russia has been proposing to jointly develop more than the S-350.

In other words, it meant developing a true ballistic missile interception system with us.

‘Gear called me, and in the end, you wanted a precision guidance system.’

[The Prime Minister seems to think that the HVP precision guidance system developed by us can be applied to the ballistic missile interception system.][I’m not overthinking it. It is not difficult to intercept a ballistic missile if the guidance system is capable of accurately intercepting even that small shell. Of course, we need an interceptor suitable for that, but can’t we overcome it with our Russian technology?]

It wasn’t wrong.

Their rocket propulsion technology is truly top-class.

In particular, multipulse rocket technology is only available in the United States and Russia. Only these two countries have, in fact, a rocket and a precision guidance system based on that technology. And intercepting ballistic missiles is not a dream if there is only a means of detection.

[I admit that.]

The irony of fate is that what I need is multipulse rocket technology.

A technology that enables long-distance propulsion with a single body without the need to construct a multi-stage rocket.

Only then can we develop an interception system that can replace THAAD, or even SM3.

‘No, not only that, but considering that the propulsion of a long-range air-to-air missile also requires that skill, it is a critical skill that I must acquire.’

Only with that will we be able to create something to replace the Amram, the long-range air-to-air missile of the United States.

Of course, going with the ducted ramjet propulsion method like the Meteor developed in Europe is not bad, but in that case, the air intake makes it an obstacle to internal arming, so the multi-pulse method is more suitable for us.

‘Well, it’s better if we both develop. After all, we have the ducted ramjet technology.’

[By the way, I plan to release multi-pulse technology when agreement is reached on joint development this time.]

gulp.

Putin’s words spit out as if passing by.

However, it is not something to be happy about yet, because what will be said is expected.

Unsurprisingly, he immediately put what he wanted in his mouth.

[If you do, then of course they have to give you radar technology, right? That way, there is a sense of joint development, and we fill each other’s gaps.][Radar and precision guidance technology can be transferred. However, only to the level where it is possible to intercept ballistic missiles.][I mean, it’s not at the level of the HVP system we’re building in Korea right now?][If you want that, there is no point in proceeding with this project.]

It wasn’t just a word for slander.

Does it make sense to give out multi-band AESA radar technology in order to get a rocket technology?

Rather, even if the business itself goes bankrupt, you cannot give up your heart.

[··········.]

Putin looked disappointed.

When the thought of whether the joint development would go over the water just like this, he gently twisted his lips and said.

[Actually, from that point of view, it doesn’t seem right. I admit that it was an unreasonable request.][··········.][Tsuk, the radar problem is that we will reach an agreement at the level you suggest. However, keep in mind that it must be at a level that can reliably intercept ballistic missiles.]

‘Sigh······.’

A sigh of relief was let out.

Fortunately, he was a person with common sense.

But then, he gently pulled out the teacup again and continued speaking with a meaningful expression.

[I have one question, what do we have to give up to get the perfect HVP radar technology?][··········.]

Curious about his intentions, I looked at him quietly.

Maybe it’s not meant to be just at the level of thinking, his eyes don’t waver at all.

[Look, I never thought about that…][Honestly, if you want to give me that radar technology in Korea, I am willing to give it to you. Well, that doesn’t mean you have to make a decision right away, so there’s no need to make that face.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[··········.][Okay, I’m talking about it, but how about we take this opportunity to build a strategic cooperative relationship?][Russia and Korea are already building cooperation through the brown bear project.][That is the forced cooperation between governments created by debt. What I’m saying is, let’s take this opportunity to expand exchanges between the Jaewoo Group and Russian military companies.]

It was a good suggestion for me.

If exchanges with Russian military companies, which are building a huge foundation in basic science and materials, continue, we will be able to fill in the gaps.

Of course, you have to give as much as you get, but that’s your duty.

The fact that you can acquire know-how in the basic field accumulated for decades is a business that is not inferior.

Specifically, in the case of the propellant diaphragm material of the multi-pulse rocket that was discussed a while ago.

Without the accumulated know-how in the field of basic materials, development itself is impossible.

[I have no reason to refuse.]

If this is the case, flying to Russia is worthwhile.

No, I should say that it is not just a reward, but a huge amount of income.

A quick reply puts a smile on Putin’s face.

[It’s good that the answer is cool. I have no doubts about the loyalty of Koreans, so I have a lot of expectations in the future.]

Perhaps the word ‘loyalty’ is referring to Samjeong and other Korean companies.

Unlike other companies in other countries that quickly robbed and moved out when the economic crisis broke out, Korean companies did not withdraw in the end.

In fact, it was a result of not having any other way to keep the loyalty, but it would have been a great help for Russia, which has to erode the anxiety of foreign companies.

[Ah! By the way, I don’t know anything else, but I don’t usually see agents from other countries installing it in my front yard, so you don’t have to worry about that.]

He shook his head at the sudden words.

Showing a sultry and chic smile, he shakes his seat and stands up and says:

[This means that you do not have to worry about the safety of the researchers who are dispatched to the Sukhoi Design Bureau. I will not tolerate anything that interferes with our business, whether in China or Japan.][··········.]

Knowing that, I thought it was meant to mean that he was taking care of me.

But why do you feel the chill?

When I glanced to the side, Deputy Manager Lim was only smiling awkwardly.

[Okay then, let’s have some free time now. Do you like salmon fishing?]

Looking at the situation, it seemed like the wrong situation to go back to today.

I was willing to get up, but a fact I had forgotten suddenly came to my mind.

[Can you sell some of the Su-27M aircraft that are said to be installed in the Sukhoi Design Bureau for technology transfer verification and research?][··········.]

He looked at me with an ambiguous expression.

The moment he thought that his eyebrows had a negative connotation as drawing an inverted character, he twisted his lips.

[$20 million each. Anything less than that is difficult.]
