Chapter 62

“Let’s turn on the TV.”

Since lunch was not a problem right now, I hurriedly ran to the nearby office.

The office staff already knew that we were a working group to take over this company.

One of the employees pointed a finger at the other side of the wall with a puzzled face, and Hyun-cheol and I immediately ran in the direction the TV was.

[About an hour ago, there was a battle between the South Korean and North Korean forces at the GP post in Cheorwon. It is difficult to ascertain the details of the engagement as there has not been any accurate news yet, but it turned out that the North Korean guard post was destroyed by our military counterattack. Due to this situation…]

The moment I heard the anchor’s mant, I was mesmerized for a moment.

Cheorwon. and engagements at the GP.

I do have memories of something like that happening in the late 90’s.

The strange thing is that at that time, the incident itself was buried without being a big issue.

But where can a horse without feet go?

The case, which was rumored to be known, eventually leaked out through some media after a long time passed, and unfortunately, it did not receive much attention because of the passage of time.

By the way, that’s definitely something that happened in the 90’s.

So the time has been changed again?

“Wait.”

I apologized to Hyun-cheol for a moment and then went back to the hallway.

Soon after, I found a quiet place and called the Minister of Defense.

“What happened?”

Fortunately, the call with the defense minister was immediately connected.

As if preparing for a press briefing, a commotion comes through the phone.

“The grenade came first from the north. In response, when our side fired a machine gun, 82mm flew back, and we also responded with a 57mm recoilless gun, but it was not enough.”

“After that? Have you ever used a smart cannon?”

“What else does that mean?”

“If not, how did the whole post flew away?”

“Literally, the observation post flew away. Not a bunker. And it was a 40mm guided missile that blew it up.”

“·················ogue.”

If true, both sides were clearly in violation of the armistice agreement.

As I put those words into my mouth with a hint of concern, a snoring sound flew in.

“Anyway, both North Korea and Korea have had firearms in the GP that violate the agreement. The drum is RPG and 82mm. And we got 57 millimeters. It’s just been tacitly passing through all this time. Anyway, we’ll talk more about it later. I have to deal with the press now.”

The defense minister hastily tried to hang up.

But I haven’t gotten the answer I really wanted to hear.

He hurriedly spit out the question that had not left his head.

“Did you know in advance that this provocation was going to happen?”

“·················ogue.”

After that, there was silence for a while.

Soon, I thought I could hear a long sigh, and then I heard the words of self-help.

“exactly.”

“how?”



“Planting spies inside the military is not something only North Korea can do.”

“Then it means that our response was planned in advance.”

“That’s all I can say right now.”

He ended the call, avoiding answering the last question.

But it sounds like you’ve already heard the answer.

His arm swelled at the beating of his pounding heart.

Damn, that means the president was the ultimate commander of this response.

What the hell are you doing this for?

At this point in time when the historic inter-Korean summit is just around the corner, why?

******

“Chief Lim, please come to my room.”

After returning to work in a hurry, I immediately called in the manager.

Perhaps he expected the call, he came running in just five minutes, and before he could catch his breath, he poured out his words.

“North Korea unilaterally canceled the inter-Korean talks that were in progress about a week ago. So the head of the National Intelligence Service went to North Korea to persuade him, but to no avail. After that, we heard that we were aware of the signs of provocation in the Cheorwon area through the Humint planted in the North, but it seems that it has been three months today.

“Why did North Korea suddenly cancel the talks?”

“I don’t know that either. According to one theory, there is a saying that the intention is to exhort the military, which has been boiling over due to the damage caused by the Yeonpyeong provocation, but that is actually a bit…”

“Then you mean there must be some other reason?”

“Honestly, I don’t know about that. One suspicious thing is that a huge amount of money was being deposited into the overseas accounts of people around the Kim family from six months ago.”

“You don’t know who sent the money?”

“There are so many accounts involved, so it seems that we haven’t figured it out yet.”

It felt like something was going on.

The sad thing is that it is difficult to accurately grasp the situation with these fragmentary facts alone.

I feel like my head is throbbing.

[Because of North Korea’s preemptive violation of the armistice agreement, our military…]

On the TV that was just turned on, the Minister of Defense was giving a briefing to the press.

Fortunately, there is no further escalation due to the restraint of both sides.

Even so, the world will probably be buzzing for a while.

‘How are you going to do this to change history?’

******

[Our government said that it strongly protested against the North’s provocation again. What is regrettable is that the North’s reaction has not yet come out clearly, and at one time, the Korean Central TV channel even criticized our response.][The ROK-U.S. Combined Forces Command has decided to maintain a state of emergency for the time being, considering this situation as a serious provocation. In addition, in case of emergency, we are promoting the temporary deployment of B52 bombers deployed in Guam to the Korean Peninsula, and North Korea’s backlash is expected to be stronger.]

As expected, for a while, the incident at the Armistice Line made headlines.

What is worrisome is that no one can guess how the North will deal with the situation, which has been only shamed in succession in two provocations.

The tension in our army will likely continue for a while, and the fatigue of the soldiers in the front area will increase.

[The following news will be delivered. Saudi Crown Prince Hasad visited Korea yesterday evening. The purpose of his visit is not specifically disclosed, but some speculate that it is to strengthen military cooperation with the DPRK in preparation for the unstable situation in the Middle East.]

The news suddenly shifted to news about Crown Prince Hasad, who visited Korea yesterday.

I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 3:00 PM.

Now it was time for me to move slowly.

“I have an appointment, so I’m leaving, so Secretary Kim should leave work soon.”

“Where are you going?”

Instead of answering, I pointed my finger at the TV.

Crown Prince Hasad, still greeting members of our government with a bright smile.

In an instant, her eyes widened.

“Are you invited?”

“Yeah, somehow.”

Actually, that surprised me too.

A call from the head of the National Intelligence Service suddenly arrived late at night.

He didn’t say why, he just asked him to attend the dinner tonight, but he’s just guessing the meaning.

HVP.

Saudi Arabia is not going to stand still after seeing what has already been exported to the UAE.

What is surprising is that Israel is rather quiet.

Considering their attitude, which was the first thing they attacked at the time of the Yeonpyeong Island shelling incident, the result was a bit surprising.

“Forgive me for being late.”

The banquet was already in progress at the hotel we arrived at.

The table was lined with halal food that smelled of all kinds of spices, and in consideration of their sentiments, not even a common bottle of wine was on the table.

“It’s not that late. Because we just started.”

The first thing I saw was the head of the National Intelligence Service.

I wonder what he wants to say, and the expression on his face that leads me to a secret place is very meaningful.

“What happened to the post provocation case?”

I asked him about the current situation before he even spoke.

He paused for a moment, then spoke with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Chief Lim. No, have you heard anything from Executive Director Lim?”

“I listened to it a little bit, but I didn’t have one or two questions.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t say more than that. This is not a simple matter.”

“·················ogue.”

Looking at it with my eyes, it certainly seemed that the situation was more complicated than I had expected.

But in the yard with such a decisive attitude, you won’t be able to get an answer.

I touched on the minimum category he could give an answer to.

“If I do, did the meeting really go away?”

“Is it possible to have a meeting in this situation? For the time being, the tension is likely to remain as it is. indeed, and Sooner or later, the Minister of Defense will step down.”

In the end, things seem to go that way.

In this situation, you are entering a tunnel where you cannot see an inch ahead.

As a result, the history I know has no meaning as far as inter-Korean relations are concerned.

“By the way, why did you call me today?”

With the intention of putting aside the troublesome problem for a while, he turned his words away.

A smile crossed his face for a moment as if he had been heartbroken, and he quickly approached and whispered.

“What is it? Crown Prince Hasad said he really wanted to meet Chairman Jin, so he invited him.”

“Is it because of HVP?”

“That’s it, but they also showed interest in the improved K9.”

In an instant, my eyes lit up.

Actually, I had to go there first and convince them to buy it.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to reduce the effort?

He asked, calming his beating heart.

“How much is introduced?”

“Well, I don’t know the details, but I think it will be at least a hundred.”

“So many?”

“I was surprised too. I know that the self-propelled artillery they are using now is still alive… Anyway, there is no answer other than that Saudi Arabia’s enthusiasm for collecting weapons has increased.”

I also agree with Saudi Arabia’s policy of importing junk weapons.

If the performance is guaranteed, no matter what country it is from, don’t hesitate.

A group that would remodel and introduce even a fighter according to their own taste by paying additional money.

In fact, that’s the reason why I first thought of Saudi Arabia as the exporting country of K9, but I don’t think it’s a completely wrong idea.

[Crown Hassad. This is Jaewoo Group Chairman Jin Hyun-seung.]

The head of the National Intelligence Service led me to Hasad, who had been conversing with the distinguished guests for a long time.

He looks much older than he is in his 40s.

But as charming as his gentle impression, when our eyes met, he smiled and held out his hand.

[I know the rumors about Chairman Jin. I heard that he was more of a scholar rather than a manager, but seeing him in person, he seems to be wrong again.]

He responded with a smile to his words, whether it was a compliment or not.

As soon as I bowed my head, revealing my name and title once more, he approached me one step at a time with his eyes twinkling.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[I know it’s rude, but let’s ask one thing first. How many HVPs can be exported from Jaewoo?][······ Excluding the quantity that our military will additionally introduce, there are about 6 radars. And you can order any number of launchers and projectiles.][Is it possible that the owner has already been decided?][Not yet. Of course, there are many places that have expressed their intentions, but is it that easy to import weapons? The introduction of a new weapon in any country requires a national consensus and a law that requires parliamentary approval.][Most of them are. But we are not.][··········.]

yes it is not

It is true that Saudi Arabia is unique in many ways in the first place.

[So, by the way, roughly how many more would you need to build 5 more batteries, including stock now?]

Again, oil money is really great.

6 sacks aren’t enough, so I’m going to order more.

I turned the calculator in my head for a moment, with the uncontrollable excitement subsided for a moment.

[That will depend on how many projectiles you want to secure. If you take 1,000 rounds per bag as a standard, it will cost a total of about 3 billion won.][Hmm… So, if we introduce K9 together, is there a possibility that the price will be lowered?][It seems difficult. Self-propelled artillery and HVP are completely separate issues.]

Hasad narrowed his brow at those words.

In such a case, the best way is to realize the reality.

He appealed to him the greatest strength of the K9.

[The price of the PZH2000 with the same conditions is exactly twice that of the K9. You have to think about that.][I know that. Actually, that’s why I did the K9. However, if we are introducing a quantity of as many as 200 units, we are inevitably sensitive to prices.][200 years old?]

Then the story is different.

Even if the quantity of 100 Taiwan units goes up, the reason for the price drop is enough.

Moreover, self-propelled artillery is rarely exported alone.

Tens of thousands of ammunition supply vehicles will be exported together with at least 100 units.

This means that there is a factor that causes a price drop of at least 10%.

Whoops.

I immediately whispered into Hasad’s ear.

Then, showing a satisfied smile, he held out a glass of drink to me.

[Then we start by ordering a few car bodies for self-test.]

He nodded willingly and looked at the head of the National Intelligence Service.

With a hundred eyes, there is no way that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

As expected, the moment he also slightly twisted his lips, the words suddenly continued from Hasad’s mouth again.

[Well, I have one more question. If we introduce K9, is it possible to purchase smart shells together?][······of course. However much.]

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-63
