Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 80

[The US military seems to be carrying out a large-scale operation somewhere.]

He spoke as if passing by and looked into Michael’s eyes.

A surprisingly calm expression.

But I can’t hide as much as the trembling eyes.

Whoops.

Michael looked at Captain Hummer at that point.

Soon his eyes seemed to come and go, and Hummer shrugged his shoulders, and a short sigh escaped Michael’s mouth.

[This is not to prepare for a large-scale operation, but to prepare for any contingency that may occur. In fact, there has been a government report that has been coming up continuously since the Clinton administration, and this government is taking it quite seriously.]

“·················ogue.”

At first glance, it was impossible to understand what he was talking about.

As if, ‘I’m curious as you are, so I’ll tell you, but from my point of view, it’s best to be blunt.’

But for me that was enough.

that report.

It was so familiar to me who lived in the 2020s.

The fact that it is a document that mentions the possibility of terrorism targeting the United States and the background behind it.

“Hmm······.”

If that’s true, it feels a bit out of touch with history.

Because the Bush administration I know ignored the report right up to 911, which gave conspiracy theorists a clue.

The U.S. was already aware of the terrorism and ignored it.

Or, the incident itself may be a self-made play.

But now, are you paying attention to the report and preparing for it?

It is different from history, but again, it proves that a conspiracy theory is just a conspiracy theory.

‘No. It’s also strange to dress up war supplies while preparing for an emergency.’

The thought that came to my mind was complicated again.

Damn, this isn’t some squirrel spinning wheel.

[I don’t know what it is, but I hope it’s not a big deal.]

I immediately cleared my dizzy stomach and said.

There’s no need to worry about problems that I can’t figure out anyway.

What I am curious about is whether 911 can be stopped just because they take the threat of terrorism seriously, unlike the original history, and my view is a little negative in that regard.

‘From experience, historical events that should happen have always been the rule.’

Except for one, inter-Korean peace talks.

Then why did it become erased history?

Well, it’s still hard to be sure that it has been completely erased.

Whoops.

As I was thinking about it for a while, Michael presented me with another piece of paper.

As he stared at me, wondering what else this was, he gave me a meaningful smile.

[There is a lesson the Ministry of Defense has learned from the Battle of Mogadishu, and I was wondering if we could solve it together.][··········.][According to the testimony of the Delta crew, the soldiers of the Somali anti-US warlord continued to fight despite being hit with a number of 5.56mm bullets. Of course, even if the root of their favorite hallucinogenic ingredient was the cause, it is said that the stopping power itself is a problem.][So?][For that reason, the Ministry of National Defense is planning to develop firearms employing 6.8 mm caliber bullets and supply them mainly to special forces. In addition, we plan to proceed with the overall improvement of the Warrior platform.][··········.]

He remained silent as he was still not sure of his intentions.

For a moment, a meaningful smile appears on his face, and soon he hears something suspicious of his ears.

[How about developing it jointly with Jaewoo?][Why us…?]

In a way, my reaction was natural.

It’s not like they don’t have any skills.

Isn’t the United States the only country that can turn soldiers into Iron Man if they put their mind to it?

Then, as if understanding the meaning of my expression, Michael spoke again.

[Mr. Jin really underestimates Jae-woo’s technical skills.][··········.][Jaewoo’s bulletproof materials and 40mm guided missiles alone have already achieved about half of the warrior platform we want. If such a capable company is in our allies, isn’t it natural for us to join hands?]

Well, that statement is not wrong.

What we’ve accomplished so far is not something to be taken lightly.

AESA and AP and smart shells, including HVP.

And even bulletproof materials using spongy body technology.

It can be seen that the grounds for praising Jaewoo’s technical skills are not sufficient and overflowing.

[Hmm······.]

I thought about it for a while at that point.

Then, a fact immediately popped into my head.

Although it is true that we are ahead of them in some fields, the United States is still America.

In other words, it is us who benefit from holding hands.

[Is this an official offer?][of course. Specific items have already been decided.][Then there is no reason to refuse.]

I gladly held out my hand.

For some reason, he smiles brighter than necessary, and then he throws out another meaningful word.

[Now I feel a little relieved.][··········.][Actually, I was worried because Jaewoo seems to be focusing too much on Russia recently. Well, I am satisfied that I know Jaewoo’s position clearly through this.][··········.]

******

It has been three months since he returned from Dubai, and Saudi Arabia and the UAE have not yet made a decision on investment.

No, the decision has already been made, but it is taking time to confirm the specific investment amount and establish the committee.

It is likely that it will take several more months for a definitive conclusion to be reached.

In the meantime, the group has undergone quite a few changes.

In the meantime, the system integration between departments of the acquired companies has been completed, and the R&D center has been given the mission of the Jaewoo System, establishing a bridgehead for the development of source technologies and materials.

All that was left was to secure the foundation for the fund formation and establish a venture investment company, which is expected to be completed in the near future.

“Ssangwoong does not have to change its name.”

It was concluded that Ssangwoong’s mission was not to be replaced.

Because I couldn’t easily let go of the recognition I had built up over the years.

Moreover, another reason was that changing the company name now is meaningless in a situation where integration with Tesla is in mind in the future.

“It is fortunate that there are no problems with the mass production of 40mm guided missiles.”

The production of the 40mm guided missile, which has been put into full-scale mass production, did not seem to have any problems.

The problem of manpower expansion, which I was most worried about, has been resolved.

Initially, the core of the guided missile production line was the assembly of seekers, which had to rely entirely on human hands.

In a nutshell, the timing was amazing.

“It seems like the days are getting hotter than around this time last year.”

Beginning of June 2001.

As Vice President Kim said, the heat has come especially quickly this year.

Could it be caused by extreme weather events caused by excessive carbon dioxide emissions?

I think I’ve heard that saying consistently since the 2010s, but I tend to put more weight on the theory that the cause of the extreme weather is not due to excessive industrialization, but to the effect of changes in the amount of solar corona ejection.

“The car is ready, let’s go, Chairman.”

Vice President Kim Young-gi urged me to hurry after I had signed various documents.

The destination is Aerospace.

It was a step for the delivery ceremony of an attack helicopter prototype, but for a historical flight, the feeling was quite calm.

Seriously, even though a prototype was released, it’s like a canned helicopter that doesn’t have an armed system yet.

Even so, thinking about the researchers and CEO Yoon who would have put their souls to work to advance the shipment by as much as five months earlier than planned, it makes me sad that my heart is saddened.

“Come here.”

“this······.”

As expected, CEO Yoon’s face was more serious than expected.

A person who is only 60 years old has become so worn out that it looks like he is in his 70s.

Thought he might end up doing something like this, he implicitly suggested a job change, but he discouraged it.

“Only the skin has rotted, but the actual health has improved, so don’t worry too much. And now I can’t because I’m unfair to move back to the yard where it’s fun.”

“However······.”

“That’s because it’s done. The doctor said that my blood vessels were close to 30 years old. Anyway, let’s stop talking about that and go to the event hall.”

He eventually led me to the event without breaking his will to keep his seat.

Can it be done only when the parties are like that? Shaking off the awkward feeling, I followed his instructions.

“Five! Chairman Jin. Come on.”

Countless guests were already in the venue, including the prime minister.

Where is the Prime Minister?

From the president to the ministers of various ministries and top military commanders.

The title of Korea’s first self-developed attack helicopter seems to be great.

“See you after a long time, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

What I was most pleased with was Lee Dong-wook, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Let’s take a look around just in case, 7th Mobile Corps commander Tae-ik Kim.

No, now he’s been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Army, and he was waving at me.

“I think it is harder to see your face than you.”

President Kim Tae-ik’s arrogance was still there.

No, when I look at the eyes that seem to be standing, I feel that my charisma has gotten stronger.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the saying that a seat makes a person.

“Your Excellency is waiting for you.”

He escorted me straight to the president.

My name is the representative of the developer, so my assigned seat is right next to the president.

There will probably be a baptism of questions for a while.

Doo doo doo doo!

As soon as the event started, the aircraft soared into the air.

Thanks to the power of two powerful engines with a whopping 1,800 horsepower and stable posture control software, it bounces without a single jolt.

An exclamation spit out from the mouths of some officials who knew the meaning.

“Movement is not normal.”

The president seemed to recognize that.

Seriously, it’s not easy for such a gigantic body to be able to maneuver like that.

The unfortunate thing is that it has not yet shown the weapon control capability, but I think it will be possible around the beginning of next year.

“Oh oh!”

At the sight of the momentary turning maneuver, there was once again a burst of cheers.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At that time, sadly, what flashed through my mind was the accident scene of Surion, which we developed before the return.

It was an incident that resulted in a fall due to a defective rotor gear, which resulted in the death of some of our soldiers.

‘At that time, there were one or two unfortunate things.’

In fact, there was a lot of controversy about the subject matter of the case.

Although it was developed in-house, all core parts have been imported.

Moreover, the rotor gear, which was the cause of the accident, was also completely dependent on imports, so it was unclear who to blame.

“They said they installed a newly developed radar, how is the performance?”

It was the president who broke the thoughts that had suddenly dug into him.

He continued with the message he had prepared with a quick mind.

“The radar’s operational tests were satisfactory enough. In terms of detection distance, the existing millimeter wave cannot dare to follow. The signal-to-signal interference is also close to zero, so the ability and speed to designate an attack target are incomparable to Apache. It would be a nightmare for enemy ground forces if the combat system we were developing was fully operational.”

The president smiled contentedly at those words.

At the same time, the helicopter, which completed the pilot operation, landed on the ground again, and the president mumbled in the sound of applause of the people.

“The mid-term defense plan will be announced soon.”

“······Yeah?”

It was such a muffled statement, so I thought I was right.

It must have been said that it was a mid-term defense plan, but was there such a plan at this time?

If it is true, it is a different trend from history, so embarrassment flooded in.

“We plan to invest 80 trillion won over the next 10 years to enhance the military’s power.”

The president’s words opened his mouth again and again.

80 trillion won.

Even if it is an amount invested over 10 years, it is saying that an average of close to 8 trillion won will be poured into the defense budget a year, which is a huge amount considering the size of the defense budget at this time.

“Will the National Assembly approve?”

“It is true that it is oversized compared to the size of the economy. However, Korea’s economic growth rate has recently reached its highest level since the 1980s. In addition, there is an excuse to deal with the repeated threats from North Korea. Well, it’s true that it gets a little noisy, but I’m going to give it a try.”

If the president’s will was the case, the possibility was sufficient.

Moreover, as he said, the reality is that this country is recording an all-time high growth rate recently.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to raise the defense spending ratio.

“What Chairman Jin should be aware of in advance is that this medium-term power increase will include the mass expansion of medium-range strategic missiles and the development of its own fighter jets.”

“You are announcing your own fighter development plan now?”

The president was still looking at me with a smile.

If this is the case, then the KAI acquisition issue should be discussed immediately.

As soon as he gets his luck, he suddenly raises his hand.

“I have something to tell you…”

“Ah! Let’s finish the event with that story. Anyway, I was just about to talk about it.”

“·················ogue.”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
