Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 102

In the kitchen of the annex of the Blue House, which arrived late at night, a simple drink table was set.

A few bottles of makgeolli and a few dry snacks.

If it weren’t for the security personnel waiting on the other side, even the fact that this place is the Blue House would be forgotten.

“Forgive me for being late.”

The director of the National Intelligence Service, who received a belated call, hurriedly opened the door and entered.

As soon as he gave me a gentle glance, he sat down with an expression on his face that, unlike me, was not particularly embarrassing.

“What does the White House say?”

The president poured alcohol into the head of the National Intelligence Service and inquired.

The head of the National Intelligence Service hesitates for a moment.

I feel like I’m conscious of my existence, so when I put on an embarrassed expression, the president says again.

“It’s not something that will be announced in the media after a while anyway. You can just say it.”

“Well, if that’s the case with the president… First of all, in the United States, it is a positive response to the conditions we put forward.”

There was something strange about the flow of the conversation.

United States of America. and conditions.

He glances at the president slowly and speaks in a low voice.

“The government intends to give some positive answers to the US’ continued request for dispatch.”

“·················ogue.”

“Well, there will be an agreement with the parliament before a decision can be made, but the opposition party is also positive about dispatching combat troops, so there should be no problem. So, I think it would be a good idea to send about 200 special forces troops to post-war stabilization operations.”

I didn’t think about it for a while.

Even though there was a clue that it would not be used in the battle that is happening right now, ‘post-war stabilization operation.’ So, dispatching combat troops is not an easy matter to think about.

As a result, history has strayed from its path again, and now I can’t even guess how the alternate history will go.

“But what does it mean to have a positive response to the conditions we put forward?”

Out of curiosity, I immediately asked.

The president gently puts the makgeolli bottle he was holding back down and continues his speech with a long sigh.

“Chairman Jin is well aware that the US is asking us to send combat troops not because of a lack of military power, right?”

That was natural.

What kind of outside help is needed for a country like the US to push away a country like Iraq?

They just want to relieve the burden of fighting a war that lacks justification. And they would have wanted to use this opportunity to check whether the alliance was solidified.

“of course.”

“So we intend to fill that need and get what we can get.”

“If it’s something you can get…”

I kept my mouth shut, unable to finish speaking.

Looking at that expression, I thought I knew what it was.

I looked at him silently in embarrassment, and he smiled faintly.

“Yes, the acquiescence to the development of nuclear-powered submarines. That was the condition we put forward.”

“Did America accept it?”

The president looked at me in amazement.

He felt that a wrinkle was wrinkled between his brows, and then his mouth opened again.

“At this point, what Chairman Jin should be aware of is the word ‘acceptance’.”

“·················ogue.”

“Simply put, I’m not against developing it, but I’m not saying I’m not going to help.”

Hearing those words, what came to mind was a series of events before the return.

At one time, we claimed to have nuclear-powered submarines to counter North Korea’s nuclear power, and the US tacitly approved it.

However, the incident that made us difficult by refusing to sell nuclear fuel under the pretext of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Anyway, I feel like this is a trial in that case.

“Did you know that acquiescence may not actually mean permissive?”

asked him sensibly.

What was surprising was that he showed an attitude as if he knew the intent of my question.

“Yes. If the US does not actually sell nuclear fuel under the pretext of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it will be difficult for us. Maybe that’s why I made the answer so easy, I thought.”

“·················ogue.”

“But what about us? What’s the fuel problem, won’t there be a solution to it?”

I had nothing to say back.

It may seem reckless, but it doesn’t look like there’s any chance of that.

Is there really no way to find it?

Regardless of the intentions of the United States, for us, the biggest income is income.

“Anyway, what I meant to say is that the road is now open for us to develop nuclear-powered submarines. Of course, it will be possible only after the development of a 3,000-ton submarine is completed, so it will be possible to try it at least seven years from now.”

“·················ogue.”

The president smiled faintly when I was silent.

As for what came to mind, the issue of dispatching troops is discussed in his mouth, with a wrinkled forehead again.

“What is a bit worrying is that, no matter how much it is used in post-war stabilization operations, the sacrifices of our soldiers will not be very low, which is a sin.”

Actually, I’m worried about that too.

In the Iraq War, the sacrifices of American soldiers occurred in the large and small battles that occurred during the reconstruction process rather than the war itself.

The only way to reduce the sacrifice to a minimum is to send it with perfect armaments.

When asked just in case, the president’s face shows a determined will.

“Even by mobilizing the army’s reserve, we plan to fully equip the contingent units.”

I sighed, thinking I was lucky.

The president, who smiled and drank the rest of the glass, what else was on his mind this time? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh looked like that.

“Oh, have you heard that the Prime Minister of Israel is going to visit Korea in a few days?”

“·················ogue.”

I stared blankly at the president for a moment.

Historically, I can’t remember an incident where the Prime Minister of Israel visited us at this time.

Come to think of it, not long ago, the Israeli Ministry of National Defense suddenly announced that they would visit Jaewoo for the purpose of Polar Bear, but after hearing the news, it becomes easier to understand the situation.

In a word, maybe

The Prime Minister’s visit will be taken as an opportunity.

‘Israel…’

******

[The United States captured Baghdad today.]

Only two weeks after the outbreak of the war, the Hussein regime collapsed.

The total number of Allied casualties so far is 164.

On the other hand, the number of Iraqi soldiers killed was 9,200.

[The United States expects the war to end as soon as possible.]

According to history, that statement is probably correct.

just two months.

Because the war in Iraq as I know it ended in only a short period of time.

but do you know that

That the war really starts now.

The fact that the United States will continue to suffer from failure to step out of Iraq after that will be one of the reasons for depriving the United States of power.

smart!

“Executive Director Lim is here, Chairman.”

While I was immersed in thought for a long time, Executive Director Lim visited my room for a regular report.

Strategic Planning Office is a department that is already busy with identifying variables caused by various incidents and accidents occurring at home and abroad.

Meanwhile, the Iraq War broke out, so his face was almost like a zombie.

“Why don’t you go on vacation for a few days?”

He hinted at rest with a sad heart.

Perhaps he felt he was just talking, he puts the reports on his desk with a slight smile.

“You don’t have to worry. Still, he’s more heaven than when he was in the NIS.”

“But now you have to think about your age. I’ll tell the secretary’s office, so take a few days off with your family at the training center on Jeju Island.”

“Is that okay?”

Lim’s face brightened at that moment.

Anyone who sees this would think I’m a vicious business owner.

In fact, there would have been no way that the president would have been comfortable being an employee in the yard where he spent almost 365 days a year on work.

“The company will pay for the expenses, so you can claim any amount.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s a great welcome for me.”

He hurried to report as if he would leave the company at any moment.

Problems encountered during the construction of an automobile factory in Russia and their countermeasures.

And even a report on the results of the preliminary investigation prior to the joint development of resources with Russia, which is currently undergoing full-scale discussions.

Well, most of the issues were familiar to me, so I didn’t think there was anything I needed to pay special attention to.

“that······.”

While he was signing the report for a while, Executive Director Lim showed a hesitant attitude.

Raising his head in his puzzled mind, he scratched his head and took a step closer.

“Did you know that the Prime Minister of Israel came to our country this morning?”

“I know. Anyway, I’m planning to inspect the Polar Bear production line in the afternoon with the Minister of Defense there. But why?”

“Then did you know that the Mossad proposed an information exchange agreement with the National Intelligence Service?”

“·················ogue.”

I put down the pen I was holding.

Although he was close to an outsider in that area, it felt like it was not common news for some reason.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

If it’s not anywhere else, the Mossad is at the level that even the US and Russia’s intelligence agencies can fold in certain areas.

At first glance, I do not understand why such a group is lacking in information exchange agreement with the National Intelligence Service.

Excuse me, I already knew that Israel and we had exchanged information to a certain extent for a long time. Am I mistaken?

“Has there been no information exchange with Israel in the past?”

“Is it possible? There has been some exchange of information in the past, but this time the level itself is different.”

“how?”

“Well, now that I’m a civilian, to be precise, judging from the fact that the head of the National Intelligence Service had a bright tone, I think it’s close to the information exchange agreement between the United States and Korea.”

“·················ogue.”

That didn’t seem like a bad thing for us.

No, for us, who have always been dissatisfied with the limited information we receive from the US, it may have been like a rainstorm of drought.

It is a positive feeling for history to deviate in this way.

“By the way, I think I understand why the Mossad has made such a request.”

I looked at him again at the words of Deputy Manager Lim that spit as if passing by.

After shrugging his shoulders once, he continues his words with an elated expression as if he has had an opportunity to prove his worth.

“North Korea and Iran’s nuclear development. Considering that this is an inseparable issue. For that reason, our Humint information on North Korea must have been necessary. Well, in fact, it is the same for us, and the NIS seems to have agreed in that it is easy to obtain information about the Middle East.”

I thought maybe it was.

Historically, there has been a theory that the nuclear development of Iran and North Korea is an intertwined problem.

No, it should be closer to the truth than a myth.

By the way, I’m worried about the relationship with Iran, which has been pretty good so far, but I wonder how the government will deal with it.

“I would like to express my disappointment in Iran.”

“Even if it’s sad, I won’t say anything out loud. To be honest, aren’t they, too, in a position to cross between us and North Korea?”

When I heard it, it made sense.

I looked at the clock with a smile, and it was already 1:00 PM.

It was time to prepare for a meeting with the Israeli Defense Minister.

“If you have nothing more to say, just get up. I think we have to hurry to get to the factory.”

“Okay, I have one more thing to tell you.”

Just as he was about to pick up his suit, he hurriedly threw a word.

serious look.

Feeling that something unusual was about to come out, he quietly put down his suit again.

“Actually, I heard something incomprehensible from the head of the National Intelligence Service. Well, it’s not yet confidential information, so it’s okay to tell the president about it…”

“·······What is it?”

“I heard about it from the director of the Mossad, who was visiting with the prime minister this time, and a huge amount of money has been flowing into North Korea through the Chongryon from a few years ago.”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-103
