Chapter 87

“Around the beginning of next year, it is likely that the first prototype car will go into production.”

A few days later, Vice President Kim, who had visited Daeyu Truck under my direction, informed me of the development of JLTV.

Due to the unclear timeline, it is unknown when another Iraq war will occur.

All we can do is rush our work even for a day.

“Thank you.”

“It’s hard work. But it’s a bit disappointing when things really happen. If the development had been rushed from the start, it would have been of great help in the war that the United States would soon start.”

No, even if the development was completed, it would not have been used in the upcoming war in Afghanistan.

Naturally, the necessity of importing weapons is triggered by the sense of urgency, but the war in Afghanistan is ending too soon to feel the urgency.

“You asked when and where you were going to sell it, and now you seem to be slowly changing your mind.”

“That’s because I didn’t know this was going to happen at the time. However, I am worried that it will not be burdensome even in the United States because the production cost is not so high.”

Don’t worry about that.

As the US military, sensitive to the sacrifice of soldiers, if the damage can be minimized, they will not hesitate to pour out any money.

If there’s one thing I’m really worried about, I’m just hoping that the timeline of the Iraq war that I’m aiming for isn’t advanced too far, and that’s only left to chance.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Well, if the president is so confident, you have to believe it. By the way, Lieutenant General Michael got a call.”

After finishing the report, Vice President Kim suddenly turned around and said.

Still, I was curious about the news.

When I look at him with bright eyes, he says with a smirk.

“The 40mm order has skyrocketed. They ask us to send at least 300,000 more rounds by the middle of next year.”

“Ok?”

maybe a long game. And it seems that they are trying to secure decoration materials, supposing the possibility of a full-scale deployment of ground forces.

Well, right now, only the war has been decided, not the specific direction of the operation.

but let me know

That the United States would end this war in just two months only with the power of the Northern Alliance and massive bombing.

However, the missions of the special forces deployed were only at the level of supporting air bombing or supporting the Northern Alliance.

To put it simply, it means that those orders now have a high probability of eventually becoming a surplus.

“How much money?”

But they will have no regrets.

After all, there will be a war in Iraq in the near future, and at that time, there will be a situation where 300,000 rounds will not be enough due to the full-scale deployment of ground forces.

“The money was paid in full from the U.S. Department of Defense yesterday. That’s a billion dollars in total.”

“Looks like you were in a hurry.”

“Since the situation is that we are going to start a war right away, there must be nothing we can do about it. But that’s not all I’m going to report on.”

“·················ogue.”

“It seems that smart shells, which are being produced under license in the United States, have also started to increase production. For that reason, the license fee is also going to be a pre-payment, and it seems that there will be additional orders for military semiconductors for smart shell sensors and armor-piercing ammunition.”

“How much?”

“Including license fees, the total is about $2.5 billion. For specific details, please refer to the report as soon as possible.”

“I can understand why the U.S. military companies are so passionate about war. Okay, for now, for the time being, the relevant ministries tell us to continue the production line in 3 shifts 24 hours a day. Don’t forget to pay more for overtime than usual. If there is still a shortage of manpower, we should consider diverting manpower from the high-explosive production line for the time being.”

“Yes, I will take action immediately. Come to think of it, it is said that the number of bulletproof vests being produced locally has already exceeded 300,000. This will add an additional $400 million in license fees by the end of the year.”

It was said that if you open your mouth, money comes in.

Even in a situation where only rumors of war are rife.

By the way, in that short time, 300,000 pieces were produced.

Certainly, the scale of America is beyond imagination.

After all, it was a place where battleships were also photographed like bungeoppang during World War II.

“Then I will.”

After completing the report, Vice President Kim turned around with an expression of whether something was missing.

After a while, I was the only one left in the office.

I was trying to turn on the TV with the thought of peeking into the situation to break the silence, but Secretary Kim knocked on the door again.

smart!

“Chairman Jin Hyun-cheol has come.”

“Huh?”

Since I haven’t seen Tong’s face recently, I was happy to open the door immediately.

To his dismay, there is a woman with him.

What struck his mind for a moment was the fact that he was about to meet with him after a while.

“Ttttttt, why does your face look like that?”

Hyeon-cheol said with a worried expression on his face, and then he glanced at the woman standing next to him.

Then, as if the woman had been waiting, she stood up to me and looked at her with her head bowed gently.

“I’m Kim Ah-reum.”

“Ah yes. Just come in.”

I secretly stepped back and met them.

As soon as he catches the passing arm of Hyun-cheol, he smiles and whispers in his ear.

“I’m the second daughter of the Daeyoung group. My father asked me to meet Ha too, so I went out… Do you know what I mean?”

In a nutshell, it was said that the time or time spent went out to the deep mountain and opened the goal as it was.

Judging from his expression, it is also completely wide open.

I don’t know her personality yet, but it’s an impression that anyone can be interested in just looking at her elegant appearance.

By the way, Daeyoung’s group is one of the 13th largest group in terms of wealth. Is it really that the two families have an in-law relationship?

“Brother, for a little while…”

He gently pulled him up and led him out the door.

The woman was already seated on the sofa.

She apologized and she closed the door, and she asked Hyun-cheol.

“Are you really planning on getting married?”

“I am seriously thinking about it. So I’m here to see what you think.”

“·················ogue.”

“This is not just a human-to-human problem. Because the family over there is also a chaebol family. So, shouldn’t we listen to your thoughts as president?”

“It doesn’t matter if my brother likes me, but I think he’s in too much of a hurry.”

Hyuncheol smiled at that.

Could it have already been answered just by looking at his face?

Eventually, I shrug his shoulders and he pats me on the back.

“This is Jin Hyun-seung. I had to find him first, but I’m sorry.”

“No, I know you are very busy. I heard a lot from you.”

Her voice was quite calm.

She was in a state where it was difficult to find any flaws in the conversation that followed.

He looks quite different from other second-generation people who grew up in chaebol families, so it puts his mind at ease.

Well, maybe Hyuncheol was also attracted to that point, I don’t know.

“Really, doesn’t your father say anything?”

While the conversation was ripe for a long time, Hyun-cheol threw out an unfamiliar word at first.

As he blinked his eyes in his puzzled mind, he continued speaking again with a fishy smile.

“It looks like you haven’t told me yet. I think I’ve heard that you’re going to set up a seat for four of us soon.”

“·················ogue.”

At that, his hair turned white.

marriage, and women.

I’ve never thought of such a proposition before.

But now I am in my mid-thirties.

In addition, the fact that he had decrepit parents was now felt as a reality.

Damn, this is getting pretty annoying.

“I think you have become very weak mentally after the surgery. Even if you don’t like it, I think it would be better to follow your father’s will at least once. do you know any more then like me Hmmmm.”

Hyuncheol glanced at him for a moment and then ended the conversation with a smile.

It really does look like it’s stuck in pods.

The moment she smiled and nodded her head, she. Kim Ah-reum is blunt and throws her words out.

“Don’t do that, shall I let my legs go?”

“No, I will decline that.”

He immediately expressed his refusal.

Maybe she was embarrassed, she showed her awkward smile, and I hurriedly added that I didn’t have time as an excuse, hoping that I might be misunderstood.

Beep!

Then, suddenly, the intercom rang.

I wondered if I could hear Secretary Kim’s voice from the receiver, and he informed me of an upcoming outside schedule.

“It’s busy, but we’re going to go.”

Hyun-cheol hurried home as if sorry for wasting time.

Thinking it was fortunate enough, I got up immediately and he tapped my shoulder with a shy face.

“I’m sorry to say that you are getting married in a country that is horrified by rumors of war.”

“There is no law that says you shouldn’t get married when a child is born during a war. What’s more, this country isn’t at war right now, so what are you worried about?”

“Thank you for your understanding. By the way, you too will need to start a family sooner rather than later…”

He always had a worried expression on his face.

Well, it’s me, I haven’t even thought about getting married yet.

What is this feeling anyway?

It must be like hearing the news that my blood relatives are getting married.

I guess I’m really trying to become Jin Hyun-seung now.

[The US government revealed the faces of the World Trade Center terrorists today.]

A few days later, the US government released photos of the terrorists.

When I first saw it, I felt like I had been pierced by lightning, so I just stared at the TV for a while.

“That person…”

he was sure

The same person who had stomach pains on the plane when he was on his way to America to discuss with Nokid.

Damn, I thought I’d seen it somewhere, was that so?

That unique beard shape.

Even before returning, I had a memory of being particularly strongly impressed by that beard, but it seems that it was ingrained in my mind.

‘By the way, it was a direct flight from Korea, what did the terrorist have to do with Korea?’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

Historically, there has never been any mention of that.

Maybe that’s the case, the intention is to avoid suspicion by making a way out to avoid suspicion.

In fact, in the current situation, there is no possibility that comes to mind other than that.

[The United States has begun air strikes on Afghanistan.]

A week later, the US opened the door to war on Afghanistan, as predicted.

The U.S. and the Taliban refused to give up al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

After that, the United States completed the deployment of its enterprise-class carrier fleet in the Indian Ocean, followed by numerous naval forces.

[The air force of the 9th Air Force, which is deployed in the Middle East, as well as 250 warplanes, started bombing.]

The U.S. offensive was truly staggering.

Just one month after the start of the war, the capital Kabul was captured by the Northern Alliance.

Since the Taliban regime collapsed again within a month after that, in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a one-sided ‘beaten up’ rather than a war.

[thud!]

Sometimes, on-the-spot videos transmitted through war correspondents showed us the 40 millimeters we had made and sent in the past.

The situation where the special forces deployed to induce the bombing were unintentionally isolated.

The scene of escaping through the enemy’s offensive by 40 millimeters was like watching a movie.

‘I think we should increase our production facilities.’

If you watch them shoot guided missiles like an RPG, it seems like even 1 million won’t be enough for the Iraq war that will happen in the future.

Moreover, if you have already experienced performance in the field like that, there is a high possibility that you will need it in the future. There is nothing wrong with preparing in advance from now on.

‘This is really, I never thought that 40 millimeters would be a filial son.’

******

[The United States has declared final victory. He foretold that the stabilization operation would start for a while in the future…]

Shortly thereafter, the United States officially declared the end of the war.

And now it’s January 2002.

Ahead of the World Cup, this country was busy preparing for a successful hosting.

‘What is the World Cup….’

Unlike the noisy world, to me, the World Cup was just a story of a distant country.

For me, who knows the future, this is the best opportunity.

American stocks were crawling due to the war that broke out while the IT bubble had almost burst, and now is the time to pick it up and collect it.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

-Apple and Amazon.com are buying as much as possible.

The purchase of shares by American companies led by Ryan was made aggressively.

Although it will happen in the distant future, in the case of Apple and Amazon, companies whose market capitalization will exceed a whopping $1 trillion.

Because of that, they will have to go with the concept of burying rather than investing in immediate profits.

[For Qualcomm, July is probably the best time to negotiate. By that time, 85% of the stock price will be gone. So, until then, there is no need to be dragged around by that argument.]

– How do you know that?

[I can only know.]

– I don’t know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, you know.

In the case of Qualcomm, it was even trying to acquire it.

Thanks to this, a significant amount of my personal funds were over, and some of the funds from the fund will also be mobilized.

“We have arrived, Chairman.”

My main schedule today is to inspect Daeyu Shipbuilding, which has been acquired.

Because I have been sitting for a long time, almost 6 hours, there is no place where the bones of the body do not ache.

“Welcome to.”

The executives of the oil tanker, who had been contacted in advance, rushed to me as soon as I got out of the car.

In response to my request to see the site first, they were led to a dock where gigantic ships are being assembled.

But can instinct be deceived?

Actually, my interest is first to find a space to build the traps to start with.

‘Are you going to dry in the closed dock over there? Wait, isn’t that a good place to build a submarine over there? Oh, come to think of it, the Jang Bogo-class submarines that were born here have achieved tremendous results in the Rimpack.’

While I was looking around for a while, the thought suddenly came to my mind.

The events at the Rimpack that shocked the world with a submarine weighing only 1200 tons.

When I think about it, I can’t erase the thought that we are a great nation.

‘It’s not something I can’t understand. Among naval officers, only the most elite support our submarine crew. No, even in the difficult ‘mental gym’ training and test, if it’s the best in the world, I’ve said it all.’

The ‘mental gym’ was a training and test conducted only by submarine officers.

The noise and bearing of the target detected only through the sonar. And to increase the ability to mentally calculate the course, distance, and speed of the target based on only the noise level information.

However, in the case of our navy, it has reached the world’s best level in that field, and I think that might be one of the reasons why we can understand the achievements in RIMPAC.

“As you all know, the construction of a destroyer equipped with a Korean-style Aegis system that the military has confirmed will start soon.”

After the on-site inspection, I entered the conference room and talked about the construction of the destroyer, which was about to begin, to the key executives of Daeyu Joseon, who had gathered together.

Maybe it’s because he brought up an overly heavy topic from the first inspection, and people stare at him with round eyes.

“Are you going to start a business right away?”

“After all, there is no reason to delay the project for which the requirement has been confirmed. The problem is time, as you know, the time it takes to build a destroyer is at least six years from the design stage. But I am going to cut that time down to three years.”



“No, what the hell is a warship… a warship is different from a merchant ship. From the combat system to the weapons. Don’t you know that you don’t have one or two things you need?”

People shouted all at once.

As she reaches out her hand towards Secretary Kim, who is next to her at the moment, she sees taking out her hard disk from her bag she was holding.

widely!

After that, Secretary Kim connected it to the computer in the conference room and quickly started the program.

People who have been watching the whole time with expressions wondering what the hell they are doing suddenly widen their eyes at the appearance of the blueprints on the screen.

“What is this?”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
