Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 98

I don’t know why, but it was definitely good news.

The repair work of as many as 100 units would require the full operation of KAI’s manpower and facilities.

It will be different depending on the case, but if the engine repair is done, it will not only solve the deficit in the past but also generate record-breaking sales.

“By the way, I don’t know if there will be any problems with our own fighter if we take on it.”

CEO Yoon expressed concern about that part.

Well, the fighter we are currently developing is also going into production of the prototype soon.

But nothing to worry about.

Even if the prototype is successfully certified anyway, it will take several more years for full-scale production.

In addition, the F-16, which is scheduled to be repaired, does not process all 100 at once, so space and manpower problems will not occur.

By the way, what is the other problem?

Are you trying to speed up the mass production of the F22?

“Hmm······.”

It was highly probable.

According to history, it is normal for mass production and deployment to take place in 2005, but now the timeline of history is jumbled up.

It wouldn’t be strange if something else intervened in the gears of history in the meantime.

“I’ll call you soon.”

I left my thoughts behind and headed back to the VIP waiting area.

As soon as we arrived, the new president, as well as the Minister of National Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chief of Staff of the Army were all already seated in the waiting room.

“You have come a long way.”

“Five! President Jin.”

Seeing me, the president smiled broadly and held out his hand.

After looking at the attack helicopter preparing for a test operation for a long time, he suddenly asked me.

“Have you ever decided on a name for the ritual?”

“Not yet······.”

That part had to be negotiated with the military, so it was postponed.

It was also the point that I was giving up on as I did not have a very good naming sense.

But, perhaps something came to mind, the president continued to speak with his eyes twinkling.

“Then how about ‘Fosa’?”

“A posa?”

Fossa was a type of mongoose.

Oddly enough, it resembles a cougar in appearance, and in Madagascar, where there are few large carnivores, it is virtually at the top of the food chain.

“Hmm······.”

I thought about it again, thinking that it was somehow plausible.

The exterior of that solid-looking attack helicopter somehow resembles it.

Also, in terms of bravery, it seems to fit the image of an attack helicopter.

He nodded willingly, and he smiled contentedly.

Wow!

The moment I deepened my thoughts, the test machine, no, the coaxial rotor of the posa finally started to rotate.

Maybe it’s because the noise level has been reduced to a minimum through the shape improvement of the rotor, and the aircraft soars into the air much more smoothly and quietly than before.

“It’s already heartbreaking to imagine them flying in a squadron.”

“We are. But for the enemy, it will be a nightmare. No, I wonder if the enemy will even have time to discover it.”

“·················ogue.”

“The range of the anti-tank missile hanging over there is as much as 20 kilometers.”

“Twenty kilometers? Just anti-tank missiles?”

The president responded as if it was surprising.

I feel like I have some knowledge about that part.

Unsurprisingly, most of the words spit out of his mouth after that had reached a professional level.

“Usually, it is known that air-launched anti-tank missiles have a range of 8 kilometers, which is surprising. Ah! I think we are going to test the performance of anti-tank missiles.”

Pish!

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunner turned and fired a missile.

Whoops.

At the same time, the eyes of the VIPs who returned were focused on the screen on one side of the event hall.

After some time, a missile fell over the head of an old tank moving on the screen.

bang!

Simultaneously with the blow, the tank’s turret soared into the air.

Soon enough, the wreckage of the train that fell to the ground, splashing debris in all directions was horrific.

However, the range of damage did not stop there, and it swept the surroundings and even hit a nearby truck.

“I think the explosive power is quite large compared to the size of the missile?”

The president, watching the screen, implicitly expressed his doubts.

Well, compared to Hellfire, it has more than 50% penetration and explosive power.

After explaining the special penetrator mounted inside and the improved explosive developed by the research institute, he smiled satisfied and asked the question again.

“What exactly is the distance to that target?”

“It is 17 kilometers. Hellfire’s maximum range has more than doubled.”

“Hmm… I was just about to ask, but I don’t know if the range of an anti-tank missile needs to be that long.”

“For safe operation. No matter how powerful an attack helicopter is, it cannot be completely free from the threat of anti-aircraft missiles. So, the goal is to find it as far away as possible and eliminate the target as accurately as possible.”

“Actually, from the perspective of the helicopter, the manpas are not the only threat. Considering the detection range of North Korea’s short-range anti-aircraft missile system, that might be better.”

Again, the president had a different level of knowledge in the military field than his predecessors.

Even if I don’t have to attach the four limbs, it penetrates the core.

In fact, it must have been that he had insisted on the possession of nuclear-powered submarines even before his return.

Well, as the head of the military industry, I’m really happy with that.

“For reference, we plan to proceed with another improvement in the near future.”

“Are you saying there is something else to improve over there?”

The president tilted his head and asked.

A feeling of fear that the electrification might be delayed by any chance.

He was quick to explain, thinking that there was something misunderstood.

“It is not an improvement to the level that will be a problem for electrification, but the DIRCM that the research institute is developing now. In other words, we plan to increase the evasion ability of anti-aircraft missiles with the directional infrared jammer. In addition, we plan to coat the outside with meta-materials completed in the process of developing our own fighters to have minimal stealth performance.”

“·················ogue.”

He looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Just as he was wondering what he was thinking, he spit out words with a laugh.

“The former president said that there would be quite a lot of surprises if he got close to Chairman Jin, and that seems to be what he meant.”

I responded with an awkward smile and looked at the posa in motion again.

The moment another anti-tank missile is launched for the second firepower test, the president speaks to him again.

“Is that missile still unnamed?”

“·················ogue.”

Come to think of it, that missile also didn’t have an official name yet.

Until now, names were given only with symbols and numbers for the convenience of development.

While I was thinking about whether there was anything that would suit me, the name of Heavenly Sword suddenly came to mind.

The name of the anti-tank missile that Korea once made to counter the Hellfire.

“Originally, I was going to give it the name of a thousand swords, but that was too shabby.”

“Five! That’s fine.”

Before he could even finish speaking, he showed his sympathy.

“·················ogue.”

No, I mean, the name is too clunky right now, so you’re trying to give it a proper name?

As in there, what if you are satisfied?

“Why do you look like that? I think it’s a good name to hear.”

“Yeah… what….”

I nodded with a blank face.

who will you blame

It’s my fault that I brought up that name first for nothing.

“By the way, I heard that they also have air combat capabilities, is that true?”

“That’s right. It is equipped with HMD and Archer’s improved short-range air-to-air missiles as standard specifications, so it has the best air combat capability among existing attack helicopters.”

It was thanks to inheriting some of the ideas of the KA-50.

Black Shark’s dogfighting ability is capable of shooting down enemies from any angle with guidance through sight at the same time as firing.

If you look at it, how many times will there be a one-on-one situation for attack helicopters, but if it is officially attached, there is no need to give up the advantage that Apache will be painted over.

‘Besides, in Korea, there are many mountainous regions, and the doctrine of combat may be different from that of the US military, so the possibility of air battles between attack helicopters cannot be ruled out at all.’

However, if there is one weak point, it is that there are no attack helicopters in North Korea capable of dealing with that. In fact, that is the collapse of the North Korean regime that may occur unexpectedly.

It should be noted that the product was developed with the potential conflict with China in mind in the process of reclaiming our territory.

“When will full-scale mass production start?”

As I deepened my thoughts, the president’s question continued again.

When I woke up, I saw him smiling in anticipation.

“It will start around June of this year.”

“That is good news. I heard that the total number of units introduced is 120, is that enough?”

“I think it’s a sufficient quantity to deal with the drums…”

It wasn’t really intentional to blur the end of the speech.

It was just that it was a little difficult to mention neighboring countries at this time.

But for a moment, the president’s eyes lit up, and soon he burst into laughter.

“It means a lot. Well, let’s do some research on that.”

He continued to watch the performance tests, leaving meaningful comments.

He looks like he is in love with his eyes shining every time.

In an instant, a mythic belief soared in my mind that there would be quite a bit of military build-up over the next few years.

“Chairman, I just sent you a report from CEO Ryan.”

Upon returning from the event, Secretary Kim informed the current status of Jaewoo Investment, which was established in the United States.

The length of the document alone is almost 100 pages.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The one that caught my eye the most was about Qualcomm, which was announced two days ago that they had agreed to a final acquisition.

“It’s Qualcomm…”

Qualcomm’s acquisition was significant in several ways.

First of all, the fact that the acquisition is entirely based on my personal funds, not the amount of the fund, and the fact that it is highly useful in the military field as well as influence in the telecommunication market in the future.

The important thing is to guide Qualcomm’s future moves as little as possible from history, and thinking about that already hurts my head.

“No news from ARM yet?”

“In the case of ARM, it is said that negotiations are still in progress.”

“Tell me to hurry up. There’s nothing good about wasting time there.”

In the documents reviewed later, Apple and Amazon. The rate of return for other investments has risen.

The yield so far has been a whopping 120%.

Excluding operating costs and other expenses, the return to each investment location was so huge that it could be a situation in which it could be demanded for profit realization.

“Contact Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund and UAE Investment Authority. Will you be satisfied with short-term returns, or will you delay the realization of profits?”

Just in case, I checked the opinions of the two investment agencies through Secretary Kim.

As it turns out, human greed tends to be shaken when immediate profits are visible.

However, the results were different from what I expected.

– We will fully follow Chairman Jin’s decision.

[Do you not regret it?]

-Well, I don’t think there will be any regrets if Chairman Jin is resourceful. Yes, Crown Prince Hasad said that he would rather increase the size of the investment by taking this opportunity. So now I am also in the process of coordinating with our investment agency.

The two investment groups left the decision on the realization of profits entirely to my own judgment.

No, not just entrusting it, but rather deciding to expand the investment.

Thanks to this, the total investment size of the fund increased by a whopping 100 percent, and I also poured all the royalties that came from Samjeong, close to 2 trillion won, into the fund.

[Jaewoo Investment has created a second future fund. The scale is worth 30 billion dollars, and part of it is said to be invested in discovering technology-specialized companies in Korea.]

After that, the news was decorated with news about investment in Jaewoo.

Perhaps it was stimulated by the investment in technology-oriented SMEs, or the government promised follow-up support, followed by an announcement that a specialized management department would be established in the future.

“Chairman, I have received a call from General Michael of the US Department of Defense.”

When I was busy with my backlog, I got a message from Michael.

Still, I had to thank him for his active cooperation.

When I picked up the handset, I heard an excited voice.

-Mr. Jin, I have just arrived at Seongnam Airport. Can I see you now when the time comes?

[··········.]

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
