Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 92

-Mr. Jean! Long time no see.

The caller was unexpectedly Michael.

I was hoping that Ryan made a congratulatory call after hearing the news of the Rally win of the JLTV we developed.

[It’s been a while.]

Well, at the same time, I was happy.

If he had heard of the development of Polar Bear. And if you call after you know you won the rally, things will be much easier in the future.

-I called to see if I had heard about the performance of Korean submarines participating in this rimpack.

But the words that came out of his mouth were completely absurd.

The car is about to burst into laughter, wondering if it has been turned on. Suddenly, I remembered a phone call I had with the Minister of Defense not long ago.

[Is it a rimpack?]

Yeah, that’s what the minister said at the time.

Na Dae-yong, who carried out the propeller repair work this time, participated in the rimpack.

[It seems that the substitute for me has done quite well.]

– It’s not about good grades, but now the Ministry of National Defense is turned upside down.

[··········.]

– Because of that one small submarine, the US Navy’s anti-submarine strategy had to be completely revised.]

It didn’t fit the history.

Of course, it is true that I, too, plays an active part like the Jang Bo-go class who participated in her earlier, but in the end, it is fate to get caught in a radio wave tracking and be shot.

[Let’s explain in detail.]

– He said that the number of ships sunk by Na Dae-yong is enormous. Ah! Of course, you are well aware of the fact that just because you sank doesn’t mean you actually sank, right?

Who do you think this is?

[Yes, of course. Taking a picture of a virtual enemy ship through a periscope is considered a sinking. Thanks to her, the risk of detection is also high, so there is a gap from the actual situation.]

– Even so, it’s not completely different from the real thing. Anyway, the Na Dae-yong was able to sink a total of 35 virtual enemies. Even more surprising was that one of them included an aircraft carrier belonging to the U.S. Navy, who was judged to have hit heavy torpedoes a whopping 10 times.

[··········.]

If she hit her heavy torpedo that much, she would have suffered a sinking level of damage, no matter how much the carrier.

How could a single 1200-ton submarine achieve such an achievement?

In the midst of the absurd mind and consistent silence, Michael’s words flew in again.

-Do you know the reason for the decisive strategic revision request? Later, when the U.S. Navy announced its intention to surrender, the surrogate Na-Ryong was said to have floated aground just 800 meters from her carrier. Thanks to this, the admiral in charge became contemplative and turned the Ministry of National Defense upside down.

Michael kept talking with excitement.

As if anyone looked at him as if he was a soldier of the Republic of Korea, not the US military.

He coughed for a moment to see if he felt it himself, and then he spoke again in a calm voice.

-However, according to our sonar who participated in the training, the noise level of the Na Dae-yong was hard to find. Wouldn’t it be great if we still couldn’t detect something so close to the carrier?

I thought it was probably due to the influence of the propellers.

In a car that was about to twist his lips out of a sense of pride, Michael suddenly brought out what he thought was the main point.

-Thanks, it’s not a riot in our navy right now. I wonder if it should be applied to the submarines of the US Navy as well. But let’s hear it… is that Jae-woo’s work?

In an instant, an ominous feeling struck.

In the past, they were not satisfied with the level of simply importing what they needed.

That said, it’s almost certain that it will require technology transfer, but the problem is that it’s a huge strategic skill.

The ripple effect is too great to sell for only a few pennies.

[It is true that we took over Daeyou, but well. It’s not like I’m involved in all of that…]

I chose to shyly avoid answering.

As if it was an unexpected reaction, from the other side of the receiver, a rather embarrassed voice could be heard.

– You didn’t know that?

[Because like I said, there’s not one or two things I need to be concerned about. First, let’s see what happened to me.]

-·········.

He was silent for a while.

After some time had passed, he let out a long sigh and spit out unexpected words.

-Anyway, give me a call when you’re done understanding the situation. No, don’t do that, let’s see and talk for ourselves. Anyway, I plan to visit Korea in a few days to discuss with the new commander of USFK.

“For what reason in the USFK?”

-It’s a bit difficult to talk about the problem over the phone…

This time, he forgot his answer.

I ended the call as it was, feeling that it would be difficult to ask for an answer to the end due to the atmosphere, and after that, his last words, which left a lingering impression, lingered in my head.

‘What the hell are you saying you can’t talk over the phone?’

******

smart!

A few days later, Michael, who had visited Korea as scheduled, came to the company right away.

[Five! Mr. Jin.]

The first thing that caught my eye was the four stars on his shoulder.

As he closes his eyes in embarrassment, he approaches with a wide smile.

[Haha, I was promoted about two months ago.][This is something to celebrate. However, if there was such an inclination, you should have said it right away.][Yeah, can I be more than proud of myself? By the way, Mr. Jindo’s face color is better than before.]

He sat down on the sofa, giving thanks with his characteristic, kind smile.

He is a whopping four-star general.

It’s hard to get used to, and when he keeps showing an awkward smile, he also scratches his head with a shy expression.

[There is no need to look at me like that. Well, even if the position has been raised, the position remains the same.][What else do you mean? You got a promotion, but there is no change in your position?][It’s embarrassing, but I’m not the only one who has to understand. Actually, there was a major operation in the rank system of the Ministry of National Defense this time. Because of that, there are quite a few generals who have only risen in ranks while their positions remain the same.]

Actually, that’s the problem, I didn’t know.

What’s just important to me is to dispel the question of why Michael visited USFK.

But the answer he received was surprising.

[But why suddenly the US Forces Korea … . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Ah! that······.]

He hesitated for a while.

After a while, he looked like he was in trouble for a while, and then he opened his mouth again with a squeaky sound and a click on his tongue.

[Well, it’s a problem that will be announced in the Korean press soon anyway, so there’s nothing you can’t do. In fact, it is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that serves the USFK. I came to Korea with him on both occasions.][··········.]

The arrival of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff meant that something big had happened.

The problem is that I have no idea what a big thing that happened on the Korean Peninsula at this time.

Frowning his brow, he spoke again.

[Maybe tomorrow President Bush raises suspicions about North Korea’s supply of Iraqi weapons.]

As soon as I heard those words, something popped into my mind.

Yes, Bush once raised those allegations.

Also Iraq and North Korea. He also captured Iran and defined it as an axis of evil.

The general public does not know it well, but for that reason, emergency manuals about the formation of US forces in Korea and North Korean provocations were circulated, and I think that was probably the purpose of the visit of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Wait, wasn’t Bush’s Axis of Evil remarks supposed to have taken place a long time ago?

Well, aside from that, the remarks of the axis of evil are that the US is slowly starting to attack Iraq, and I think I should start preparing in earnest for this.

[Then why did you come to see me for something?]

Michael looked at me silently.

It’s as if you know all the reasons why, but you’re wondering why you’re taking off the shichimi.

But when he finally pretends not to know, he frowns and says:

[Tut, Mr. Jin is now a raccoon dog. All right, I’m going to be straight-forward. We need the propeller manufacturing technology of the composite material deposition method developed by Jaewoo this time.]

Just looking at his attitude, he looked like he was burning shit.

Well, if there is a way to significantly increase the operational capabilities of the US Navy submarines, it makes me anxious like that.

[Ah! If you’re talking about that, you’ll have to ask the government for cooperation, not me.][··········.]

But I have no intention of giving it away.

It is not worth a lot of money to sell compared to the fact that it has strategic value enough to determine the military superiority of the Han country.

Even if the price was paid properly, it would be a little higher than the usual level, but it is better to choose a method that guarantees a profit otherwise.

[Actually, the material as well as the production method have already been designated as strategic items.]

Therefore, what I thought was the early designation of export-restricted items.

Through this, they planned to receive a price from the government along with the protection of technology, and fortunately, the government agreed with it and promised a reasonable compensation.

No, it’s not reasonable, I’d say it’s overflowing.

To be honest, the promotion of the project to introduce nearly 200,000 bulletproof vests is not comparable to the profit gained from the export of propeller technology.

[It’s already….]

As expected, Michael looked a bit embarrassed.

In such a situation, let alone technology transfer, there are restrictions on the export of finished products, so it would be embarrassing.

Moreover, it is now a situation where we have to deal with the government, not the company.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It’s probably impossible to get it with money, and the diplomatic troubles between the two countries. Or, it will be possible to resolve other important issues that are being negotiated only by making concessions.

[Haha… This is going to be a pain in the ass.]

As if thinking the same thing, Michael let out a deep sigh.

What was curious was his expression, which for a Sim Awakened of the situation was not so rotten.

[Okay, I will discuss the matter with my superiors separately. By the way, that is not the purpose of visiting Mr. Jean.]

Michael, who had a very disappointed expression on his face, said with his eyes shining again.

The moment he looked at him for something else, he pulled out a picture from his arms and looked at it.

[What is this?]

What was pictured was a Humvee on fire, half-destroyed.

The background can be guessed somewhere in the African region.

Looking at him with a puzzled heart, he says with his eyes wide open.

[This is a vehicle of our Special Forces members who were killed by anti-US warlords in the former Somalia civil war. Through that incident, the Humvee’s insufficient protective power came to the fore in the military.][So?]

He pulled out another picture to me as I asked.

Trucks covered in gloves.

If I remember correctly, it must have been a picture of the MRAP in South Africa.

[For that reason, the need for such MRAP development was constantly being emphasized within the Ministry of National Defense. No, it wasn’t just an emphasis, he was going to make a business proposal to military companies in the US soon. Then······.][Then, you saw the thing we developed.]

I replaced his last words.

With a smirk and a grin, he nodded, as expected, pulling out a picture of Polar Bear crossing the desert at a rally.

[The Ministry of Defense looked at this picture and did a lot of analysis for a while. I wasn’t sure at first because it went through a lot of repair work.][··········.][But in the end, I came to the conclusion that this is not a simple infantry tactical vehicle, but a kind of MRAP-like object with maximum protection. I got that confidence, especially in this composite armor section here.]

As soon as he finished speaking, I got up from my seat.

Soon, he pulled out a report containing the results of the protective power test along with the documents containing Polar Bear’s specifications, and handed it to him.

[That’s not an MRAP, to be precise, a lightweight joint tactical vehicle.]

He pricked his ears and couldn’t take his eyes off the papers for a long time.

After some time passed, he confirmed the results of the defense test until the end, and he spit out words with a long sigh.

[You know that? It’s not the first time I’ve ever wondered if Mr. Jin is looking into the future.][··········.]

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-93
