Chapter 119

“Come this way.”

The next day, CEO Ahn and I visited Aerospace to form a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle and attack drone development team.

Now, due to the merger with KAI, the name of Aerospace has become a de facto relic of the past, but the traces of it have not been erased from the signs hanging all over the factory.

When I suddenly saw it, a slightly strange thought ran through my mind.

“Representative Ahn? That sign.”

“Yeah, that sign is about to be demolished soon, so you don’t have to worry about it too much.”

Representative Ahn quickly made excuses as if he had misunderstood my intentions.

He smiled softly and gestured to the sign again.

“No, I was just trying to say that I don’t think there’s any need to throw away the Aerospace name.”

“Suddenly, what does that mean?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I think my father will be very sad if the name Aerospace disappears.”

“·················ogue.”

“Because it was my father who gave it a name from anything else.”

“Ah!”

Representative Ahn shook his head as if he understood it only then.

After staring at the sign for a while, he reveals a sign of embarrassment.

“But it’s a bit ridiculous to keep that signboard since the company’s mission has already been integrated into KAI.”

“So, how about leaving that name as the official name of some business unit? For example, the development department in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles dared to use high altitude and medium altitude. And rather than dividing it into drone divisions, we want to integrate it under the name of that Aerospace.”

“That’s fine. However, the size of the unmanned aerial vehicle field was expected to grow unexpectedly, so the department itself was in a situation where it would become a single company.”

Representative Ahn had an expression that seemed to be quite remorseful.

Even if he didn’t say it, he seemed to have a lot of trouble with that part.

I was about to enter the building with a smile on my face, but CEO Ahn’s words flew in.

“By the way, I have something to tell you about an accident that happened before.”

He paused and looked at him again.

Perhaps he was conscious of the ears around him, after biting the bodyguards and attendants behind his back for a moment, he sneakily approaches and continues.

“In the morning, I got a call from the head of the National Intelligence Service, and he said that the results of the National Forensic Service had come out.”

“You mean the results of Kim Jae-wook’s autopsy?”

“Yeah, but it doesn’t sound like suicide at all.”

“What else does that mean?”

My voice went up in confusion.

Realizing that it was a mistake, I silently look at CEO Ahn again, and he speaks in a very low tone voice.

“There were signs of resistance all over his body.”

“·················ogue.”

“Simply put, it looks like someone forcibly injected the poison. It’s not that he ate it himself.”

“Does that mean that Jaewook Kim wasn’t alone in the dump truck?”

“Yes, because of that, the National Intelligence Service also conducted an interrogation focusing on the victims of the accident that occurred on the Olympic Avenue at the time, and some of them reported a common eyewitness account of seeing a man fleeing from a dump truck in a hurry at the time of the accident.”

I thought something was suspicious.

According to the circumstances, Kim Jae-wook took part in the case out of debt.

It means that he struggled to escape his hellish reality, and it doesn’t make sense that such a person chooses to commit suicide so easily.

“So, have you identified the accomplice?”

“Once we arrested Lee Ik-hwan, the representative of Korea-China trade, the identity of the man was identified. After all, he was an operative from the North.”

“Hmm.”

It seems that North Korea’s actions were clear.

Being able to clearly understand the background of the incident apart from other things is a huge income for me.

But then, CEO Ahn spoke again with a shy expression on his face.

“By the way, according to the head of the National Intelligence Service, he must have smuggled into China.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, almost certainly. As with the testimony of CEO Lee Ik-hwan, the NIS separately interrogated the smugglers mainly operating in Incheon, and he said that his smuggling seems to be a known fact.”

I felt strangely relieved at those words.

If the guy is still in South Korea, it’s impossible to know when he will target me again.

Of course, there is no better news than that if you caught it, but if you don’t, this result is a hundred times better for me.

But if you smuggled into China, is it your intention to cross back to North Korea?

I mean, it’s probably not going to look good because of the failure of the operation.

“Whatever it is, you don’t have to live with anxiety.”

He smiled and entered the building again.

As if I was sorry for trying to shake off the situation, CEO Ahn, who follows me, is comforting and spits out a bit of a nonsense.

“I’m just saying this just in case, you don’t have to worry too much about personal threats in the future. After all, the National Intelligence Service is now actively monitoring the surroundings of the president, and for the time being, it seems that Russia will also add a hand.”

For a moment, I paused again.

As soon as he turned around, Ahn’s face had a meaningful expression on his face.

“Russia added a hand, what does that mean?”

“Actually, I got a phone call from Natasha yesterday. The boss brown bear reacted very violently to this incident, so it seems that he himself was ordered to secure the president’s safety for the time being.”

“You mean she joins my bodyguard?”

“She will not be officially joining. First of all, there was no case where the NIS teamed up with intelligence agents from other countries. I mean, just secretly monitoring the surroundings of the president?”

Even so, it was equally disconcerting.

This is a problem that could cause Russia and North Korea to blush.

Of course, committing terrorism is not an honorable thing to do, so even as a North Korean, it is not possible to openly argue against Russia.

Still, they are not politically connected.

“Honestly, I understand a little bit. To put it simply, Russia is not in a situation where there are only one or two businesses with the Chairman, but if we had done it, we would have almost lost all of them.”

At that time, CEO Ahn made a somewhat plausible statement.

Still, seeing my unresolved expression, he glanced around again and said:

“Besides, there is a lot of talk about North Korea within the Russian political circle. To be honest, from their point of view, North Korea is the only thing they use every time without giving anything, but in the meantime, they even sprinkled shit on them, so it’s weird if they’re not angry.”

If indeed Putin’s thinking was changing, that would be welcome for us.

If we can bring them closer to us than history, the isolation of North Korea will accelerate, which will speed up the collapse of their regime.

“It looks like we will have to expand the resource development issue a little sooner.”

“Anyway, I have been getting calls from time and time again. When are you going to visit Russia again?”

“After all, this year is only a few days away, so we have to schedule a schedule for next year. That’s right, did the NIS say anything about Natasha’s request?”

I was still curious about that part.

The NIS is also a proud group, so I wondered if they would allow it.

But the answer he received was surprising.

“Of course I was against it at first. However, because Russia emphasizes the business relationship with the president so much, he said that he granted it conditionally.”

“If it is a condition, what condition do you mean?”

“For now, I will follow domestic laws and activities other than the president’s commuting to and from work. So, as it is now, when the president visits nationally protected industrial facilities, we have agreed to prohibit access.”

That was, of course, the action to be taken.

No matter how friendly the force. And even for the purpose of protecting me, it is absurd to even allow foreign agents to gain access to our classified facilities.



However, agreeing to the terms shows that Russia also did not offer my security out of impure intentions, and there are still areas of concern for me.

‘Will she ever be able to keep our laws?’

It’s a question of whether a woman who’s just going to do something wrong if she’s wrong is really going to keep him alive when a terrorist appears.

‘Twok, I don’t know.’

“As you indicated, in the case of the high-altitude UAV development team, all departments will reside in an integrated building. Therefore, we have to pay more attention to security than in other fields, but that is a bit of a problem.”

After a brief report.

Ahn, who was looking around the building where the business unit will be installed, suddenly raised a problem.

The key to the security I have chosen since I took office as president is to prevent information leakage through thorough division of labor.

However, in the case of a high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, organic cooperation between departments is required, so that is virtually impossible.

“I can’t help it. This time, we have no choice but to get help from the government.”

But this time, I have no other way.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Other than that, the problem of freezing at high altitudes is not only applicable to aircraft.

Armed forces and other system developers also need to proceed with cooperative development to solve the problem, because it is virtually impossible to succeed in the division of labor.

“If you get help from the government, you mean you are monitoring all the researchers?”

“That’s right. Therefore, I plan to obtain the consent of all researchers involved in this project in advance. If someone refuses, no matter how talented they are, they will be excluded from the business.”

“Actually, even if it is self-development, the government will not reject our request because it is a national strategic project.”

Ahn nodded his head in agreement.

Then he glanced at me again to see what he was thinking and suddenly asked a question.

“By the way, is there a need to mount weapons on high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles?

“·················ogue.”

“So, I mean, in the case of a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, it would be less technically difficult to simply carry out its original reconnaissance mission and mount and operate an interceptor on a medium-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.”

“From a technical point of view, it is easy. After all, if both aircraft are being developed, it is possible to operate them simultaneously, so there is not much difference in response speed. In fact, even in the United States, weapons are mainly mounted and operated on medium-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

“So, in that context, the Chairman is asking why do you insist on loading weapons on high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.”

“That’s for two reasons. First, at the scale of a medium-altitude drone, we cannot obtain the desired operating radius and mountable detection means. And secondly, the weight and size of the hypersonic interceptor we are currently developing is also not at a level that medium-altitude drones can handle.”

“Then why not reinforce the airframe and change the propulsion means to a powerful jet engine? Ah! If it is possible, if it grows a little bigger, the detection means will be secured enough.”

“Then what makes it different from a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle?”

CEO Ahn looked at me blankly for a moment.

“haha! That’s it.”

Soon he let out a shy smile, as if it had been uttered by himself, and I glanced at the clock at that point and said.

“Anyway, please make a suggestion to the government regarding security issues.”

“I do that. But where else are you going?”

“I want to go to the hospital.”

“Why are you in the hospital? Are you still uncomfortable?”

“No, I’m going to go find security guard Jeong Tae-woo, who said he has a disability.

“I have already been there.”

“I know. But it’s like it happened because of me, but it can’t just be, can’t it?”

“·················ogue.”
