Chapter 72

“It’s been a while, Chairman.”

Reporter Han Ji-yeon’s cheerfulness was still there.

If there’s one thing that’s changed, it’s that I feel like a journalist now.

In fact, being a journalist means that he has become adept at dealing with people in a way, but it is difficult to judge whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.

“What can I order? It doesn’t matter if you eat something particularly expensive today.”

“Oh my, are you suddenly afraid of this? It is a bit strange that the president suddenly asked to meet first.”

She glanced at her with a vigilant look.

However, seeing the boldness of ordering a course meal that costs 100,000 won, it really feels like the days of young chicks are gone.

“This is really delicious.”

For a while I waited for her to fill her stomach.

For 30 minutes, she frantically clung to her chopsticks as if she had heard a godsend.

As her hand crept towards her glass of water, she drew the point.

“Let’s just blow up our article.”

“what······.”

She was taken aback for a moment by my approach.

She doesn’t care, she hands her a briefcase and she examines it with a puzzled look.

swish!

After concentrating for a while, she looked at me again.

Judging by the look on his face, he seems to be a bit surprised.

The words he spit out completely ignored the grammar.

“Why is so much money being deposited into a civic organization at once?”

“The amount is an amount, but the more problematic is that the accounts are all mobilized to go through the laundry process. As a result of the investigation, most of the organizations that sent money existed only on paper.”

I briefly explained the connection between China and civic groups for a while.

Including their purpose, of course.

Han Ji-yeon’s face grew serious after hearing the explanation.

“At a time like this…”

“Why, is there something wrong?”

“I’m worried about whether the desk will allow this to air. Anyway, recently we touched a civic group and we got hit hard.”

I remember that incident too.

A case in which TBS’s tracking and reporting team took over the broadcasting station by other groups that rose up like bees after taking issue with the business status of one civic group.

But that’s because there was a misinformation from the broadcasting station, and the situation was completely different.

“Isn’t the case different? This is not to convey the fact that this is not the case, and the reporter would know better that unlike back then, the tendencies of the protesters today are also virtually unclear.”

“Yeah, but we were also a little suspicious of that part. But the problem is that broadcasting station work doesn’t always work like that.”

“·················ogue.”

“When the incident happened, civic groups threatened to boycott companies that advertised us. It will not be easy for the desk to make a decision because if we touch a civic group again in the yard, it could really hurt our advertising revenue.”

“Then, can we make it easier for the desk to make decisions?”

“·················ogue.”

“Then tell me. If the article doesn’t go out, the ad revenue drop due to their boycott will be at the level of aegyo, and the ad will be cut off immediately.”

Han Ji-yeon looked at me with those words.

He didn’t look displeased, but his eyes seemed to be a bit interesting.

“Jaewoo, there aren’t many advertisements for our broadcasting station anyway.”

She soon pierced the core.

It’s not wrong.

What is the defense industry doing to advertise on TV?

It is true that although the construction industry does advertise little by little, it is difficult to threaten the desk by itself.

“Even if we are, things will be different if it’s Samjeong.”

But the case of three is different.

As it was in the future, Samjeong’s advertisements are almost enough to feed the broadcasting station.

To prepare for such a case, the Director of the National Intelligence Service had already asked Chairman Lee Yong-moon for help.

“this······.”

Han Ji-yeon shook her head as if she was in pain.

She looked at the paperwork again for a while, then turned and looked at me again.

“May I ask why you are even getting involved in this?”

In fact, she didn’t have an exact answer on that part.

Just because I’m building an airport doesn’t mean I’m participating in it.

No, I think that Jaewoo Construction could participate.

Even so, it is true that the justification is lacking.

“Let’s say that there was a little bit of patriotism that I had never had before. No, rather than that, I should say that I want to take care of my pride.”

“·················ogue.”

“I just thought that I didn’t want to be hurt anymore because I had been through a lot of things that hurt my self-esteem.”

“·················ogue.”

Han Ji-yeon had a look on her face, asking what kind of nonsense it was.

But for me, that’s the most accurate reason.

fuck off.

Honestly, you’re proud of yourself.

Watching this country suffer another interference in internal affairs in the same yard until the return.

And if you still can’t stick your nose in those who see this country as a colony of their own.

******

[This is a TBS investigative report.]

The next day, Han Ji-yeon eventually persuaded the desk to report the illegal funds flowing into the civic groups involved in the Baengnyeongdo Airport.

Eoyong civic groups, who initially opposed account tracking as a problem, eventually gave up responding to the increasingly deteriorating public opinion, and the next day, the prosecution launched a full-scale investigation.

[It’s shocking. How is this different from selling a country?][We should take this opportunity to seek out idioms disguised as civic groups.]

Citizens’ anger against the useless groups grew more and more.



It is a sad side effect that even the proper civic groups suffered damage as a result.

However, it is true that it is an issue that has to be taken at some point for the existence of a healthy civic group.

[We have no intention of meddling in Korea’s internal affairs.]

Amid the rising anti-Chinese wave, China hastily set out to cut its tail.

Thanks to this, it is unthinkable to protest against the construction problem of Baengnyeongdo Airport.

Moreover, it is said that even the United States has come forward and sided with us this time, so there have been no unofficial protests.

After all, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the United States to have an unsinkable carrier in the West Sea.

[The eventful year of 2000 has become the past.]

Like the anchor’s remarks at the beginning of the new year, the year 2000 was quite eventful.

Other than that, this country has suffered from North Korean provocations over and over again.

If there are positive aspects, it is that the IMF system has been completely escaped and that the budget for next year has been significantly increased. In fact, if you look at those points alone, I think it would have been a year with more positives than negatives.

‘I have to change my mind.’

I decided to revise my reasoning that historically great things are bound to happen.

Inter-Korean peace talks.

It doesn’t look like it will ever be open in the future.

Strictly speaking, it was also a historical event, but if that event does not happen in the end, I can say that my reasoning is wrong.

‘No, I don’t know. At some point like this, will the mood of peace be created again? So, is it still too early to judge whether my reasoning is wrong or correct?’

“We have arrived, Chairman.”

As I was deep in my thoughts, Secretary Yang informed me that I had arrived at my destination.

Many military and government officials had already arrived at the parking lot.

At first glance, I looked at the clock to see if I was late, but I also arrived 30 minutes ahead of my appointment.

“Why did you come so early?”

“Why would you? I couldn’t sleep all night because of anticipation, so I decided to hurry up.”

Lee Dong-wook, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, responded to the words spit out with some regret.

Come to think of it, I also only slept for about 3 hours.

That’s probably because the expectations were high.

“You named it Cheongung, right?”

The purpose of today’s meeting was to test the results of the development of the first anti-aircraft missile, which Thales and Russia had been jointly developing.

At the end of last year, it was a bit late compared to Russia, which had already succeeded in testing the S-350.

But that’s because we have improved the result again to suit our taste, and as a result, in terms of performance, a product that is far superior to the S-350 was born.

[The target has been fired.]

While everyone was watching the launch pad, an announcement was heard.

The target plane, which started flying from about 5 kilometers away, is not yet in sight.

But the radar has already caught it, and a cold-launched missile pops up from the launch pad that was being prepared.

Chijik!

The missile, which soared into the air, was quickly deflected with the help of a side thruster.



It flew toward the target, emitting a huge haze, and it suddenly went out of sight, and it was only after an explosion occurred at a point in the distance that it was discovered that the intercept had been successful.

“Oh oh!”

Military officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, applauded and expressed their excitement.

This situation took the first step towards the anti-aircraft defense system.

Although it is now only an object that assumes aircraft and cruise missiles.

And although it will only be used for low-altitude defense.

Starting with this, we will create things like THAAD and SM3 that can provide ballistic missile defense and high-altitude defense.

“It’s good that the Russians’ technology is definitely good.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff laughed inwardly.

After all, in this joint development, Russia did not help us, we rather helped Russia.

Anyway, the skill of heaven was in the state up to block 2.

What does it mean that there is something to borrow from Russia in that yard?

Rather, I wish our electronic component technology would be more helpful to them.

“The future is important.”

But things will change in the future.

For the development of a true ballistic missile interception system, Russian propulsion technology would be of great help.

“Anyway, congratulations on your success, Chairman Jin. Well, it’s a bit sad that we can’t go into mass production right now, but how does it feel to have secured technology first?”

The full-scale mass production of Cheongung was planned for my later years.

After completing the development of the S-500 with Russia in earnest.

There were several reasons, but the biggest part was the problem of securing a budget and the result of not provoking the US in advance.

‘Actually, that side is less burdensome for us. Even when it was first developed, the US was nervous.’

At that time, it is a fact that everyone involved knew that the government had a hard time persuading to solve it.

“Come on, shouldn’t we celebrate with each other anyway, I’m going to shoot today, so let’s go eat somewhere.”

Chairman Lee Dong-wook of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, waving a card from his pocket.

For some reason, he looked at me with an ahh for a moment and said something unexpected.

“Did you hear the news? It is said that President Putin will officially visit Korea next month.”

“·················ogue.”

Come to think of it, I forgot about it.

In February 2001, the fact that Putin was visiting the country.

In hindsight, I can’t help but be concerned about whether it’s such a big deal.

“At that time, they told me that they wanted to have a separate meeting with Chairman Jin.”

look at that

Because I can’t not relax because I’m like that.

By the way, why do you want to meet separately this time?

*******

“Hurry up. You should have let me go.”

First lieutenant Kim Jin-seok, in a 684 suit belonging to the Korean People’s Army, was impatient with orders from the top in the morning.

The content of the traditional text is south to 1.5 kilometers south of the NLL.

If there was one curious thing, it was that he was allowed to fire again this time, but he did not understand the order to touch the enemy who had been poisoned by damage from the previous collision.

“It’s very bubbly. What the hell is wrong with those bastards who are looking at me with a wretched eye because something has happened to them.”

“Have you been able to do anything special?”

Sergeant Lee In-ho replied to that.

Who is complaining because they don’t know that, but the problem is that I don’t feel good today.

Suspicious movements recently observed on Baengnyeongdo Island.

And the provocation order that followed.

Isn’t this just a measure to check something?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I want you to go boating.”

At Lee In-ho’s urging, he hurriedly climbed to 684.

In a few days after being promoted to the previous major, he said goodbye to this fleet.

I felt the anxiety I had been feeling for a while disappearing.

“Well, why are you so afraid to hit the flutter again today?”

Just as the fleet had just entered south of the NLL, Sgt. Inho Lee’s question was spit out.

Kim Jin-seok shouted at the attitude of this sergeant who is asking about it anytime and now when giving the face-off.

“How do I know that?”

The sergeant looked into his eyes and bit his mouth.

After staring at his surroundings for a while, he tilted his head and looked at Jinseok Kim again.

“Why are you guys so mean today? Even if it gets stuck, shouldn’t it be stuck right away?”

Jinseok Kim felt something strange about those words.

Enemy traps that normally would have rushed in with interception maneuvers and other things.

But today, looking at each other with a gaping distance between them, seems to be waiting for something.

[Return immediately. I warn you, if you do not turn back, you will fire.]

Moreover, the warning broadcast was different from before.

This is the first time that fire has been mentioned from the first warning.

An ominous ominousness had come upon him, but this time he tried to ignore it.

“You’re naughty, but Gire.”

In the end, Kim Jin-seok ordered Sergeant Lee In-ho to slow down.

Soon their 85mm tank guns headed towards the enemy.

thud!

Soon after, the gun barrels spewed fire, and the enemy fleet carried out an evasive maneuver.

“Get closer!”

Kim Jin-seok ordered the entire fleet to close the distance with the enemy with the idea of ​​getting a single hit as before.

In fact, if this is the case, you never know when a counter shot will come.

However, the enemy ships just continued to move south, and there was no response.

“What?”

Kwawagwak!

At that moment, there was a sound of ripping the air from somewhere.

Pugh!

A friendly trap that is immediately hit by something and explodes in an instant.

“Beat the boat!”

Embarrassed, he immediately ordered a retreat, but after that, another friendly ship nearby spewed fire and scattered debris in all directions.

“What the hell!”

Kim Jin-seok hurriedly exited the bridge of 684 ships.

And while he was trying to check the behavior of the enemy ships, this time from the bridge he had just escaped from, a huge explosion sounded and flames soared.

“.········ Such a Nimir.”
