Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 149

“I’m sorry to ask you to meet a busy person.”

The meeting with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Kim Tae-ik took place immediately the next day.

I feel like I have lost a lot of weight as if I had suffered a lot.

Again, as soon as he sat down, the first words he spoke were about the pressure of each group that was rushing in.

“If it were right now, it would be near death. Because the land, sea, and air take turns making requests.”

I didn’t say anything else, just a smile.

It must be hard work, but for me, this is an opportunity.

To be honest, in the current atmosphere, managing facial expressions is quite overwhelming.

“The Ministry of National Defense has responded positively to the Army’s request. The government is also in a position to accept it as much as possible in the sense of resolving the chaotic atmosphere of the army right now.”

In the end, things seem to go like this.

Without showing it, he secretly floated his luck.

“Are you thinking of replacing both K1 and K2?”

“If it’s going to be replaced anyway, you have to do it.”

“How much is introduced?”

“I think we will secure spare materials later, and I think 500,000 tablets will be enough. Second of all, the dot sight had to be installed, so the cost skyrocketed.”

Again, it was the expected amount.

It’s just an extra option I was hoping for.

In fact, I can’t say anything else because the budget burden for the current government would be quite large.

“Are you going to go through the open bidding method?”

“It has to be done formally. It was only a few years ago when the government declared an open bidding method to reconsider transparency, because you can’t break it on your own. But will it make a difference? S&U won’t be able to participate in the bidding anyway, and other small and medium-sized companies will find it difficult to meet the deadline.”

That was to emphasize that there is a high probability that we will eventually choose the rifles we have developed.

As he sips his coffee without showing any expression, he continues to speak implicitly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“I know that Jaewoo has already made a prototype for a rifle that will replace the K1, so there will be no problem in bidding, right?”

“That’s right.”

“If you do, there will be no problem. After all, they are firearms developed by Jaewoo, their roots are one in the end, and the performance is also verified through K11. He said he did.”

“Has so many years passed already?”

Since there was no particular excitement, he responded calmly.

To be honest, what can he do now?

In this reality, Jae-woo is now elevated to a position that is too high for him to attack.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, smiling as if he understood, suddenly changed his expression and looked at me.

“You look like you have something to say again, but just do it without paying attention.”

I asked him because he felt that way.

Moon Ji-hoon’s story just felt like throwing out the appetizer that came before a full-scale meal.

As expected, he speaks with a meaningful expression.

“You haven’t heard the news yet, have you?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means that the Chinese Navy frequently appears in the nearby waters, even in recent years.”

That was the first time I heard it.

The curious thing is that if it was that much of a case, it was quiet even though it would have happened to me several times on the news.

There was no news about him in the group’s future strategy room, which draws in all sorts of information.

“The news didn’t mention anything like that at all. Did the government block the news?”

“Rather than blocking it, there was no need to inform the media.”

“why?”

“That’s because we went back from a bit of a tight spot to take issue with.”

“What do you mean?”

“Yeah, I don’t know. But the funny thing is that the U.S. government is more sensitive to such a move by China.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff continued.

His tone was somewhat unusual, so I looked at him quietly and he licked his lips and spoke again.

“Even with the US Navy ships currently stationed in Japan for the time being, we will strengthen our vigilance in the nearby waters.”

Perhaps it was the intention to be wary of China’s advance.

But why is the back end so squishy?

It’s not just the reason, it feels like something is happening that I don’t know.

“Anyway, something is definitely going on, but I have no idea what it is.”

The words of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff continued as if thinking the same thing.

Even in the midst of that, the glances looking at me somehow make me feel like I’m floating.

It was only then that I realized what the fundamental purpose of his calling me was.

“No matter how close I am to the Pentagon, I have never heard of that.”

I immediately responded and lifted the cup of coffee.

For a moment, a light of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but what he did not know.

Anyway, I’m kind of curious.

What the alternative government wants to hide so much that it keeps it a secret even from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

‘Hmm······.’

“Are you going to attract Jaewoo to the development of the gas field on the Yamal Peninsula?”

A few days later, a proposal from the Russian side regarding the Yamal Peninsula gas field development project was delivered to the government.

Since it is nothing else and cooperation with Russia, it is natural to consult with the government.

As a result, the Blue House also continued to hold meetings with the US State Department for a while, and only received an answer after about a full week.

“The U.S. State Department has conveyed the opinion that it does not care.”

The news delivered through the chief of staff was positive.

After all, this is an era when there were no US sanctions against Russia.

Even so, I feel like it’s going to be too easy, but recently, my thoughts that the current between Russia and the United States are a bit suspicious has deepened even more.

Somehow, unlike history in general, does it feel like a positive relationship?

No, it’s not just positive, it’s sticky enough.

“The problem is that if Russia pretends to play with the United States, there is a risk that things will get complicated. Are there any countermeasures for that?”

The chief of staff expressed concern.

Of course, I am also concerned about that part.

Other than that, if Russia’s annexation of Crimea is repeated again in the future, then the problem will grow.

“I hope that doesn’t happen.”

But now the future is unpredictable.

That means you don’t know if that will happen or not.

It is based on the fact that the political situation in our country has changed drastically or the reality of returning to a completely different world from before the return. Even if it is not, I put my weight on the fact that Russia would not reproduce the incident.

Given Putin’s position right now, it doesn’t look like he’s going to dig his own grave.

“Putin is now focused on rebuilding Russia. In the meantime, I’m not going to do anything that’s going to make it stand up to the United States.”

“Isn’t that just too optimistic?”

The chief of staff still looked worried.

Even though I said that, it is true that I am also scared, so I am preparing for at least the minimum measures, and if Putin does not respond to the measures, I may give up the business itself.

“Go carefully.”

A few days later, after negotiating with the government, I arrived at Incheon Airport to catch a scheduled flight to Russia.

Because it was a short schedule, Secretary Kim was excluded from the group.

Inwardly, Secretary Kim’s face, who saw him off as if it wasn’t worth it, was overshadowed, and on the contrary, Natasha, who had decided to accompany her, was still smiling.

“I am going well. In the meantime, keep your office safe.”

Natasha, who left a vague greeting to her secretary Kim, patted her on the shoulder.

If it was the same as before, she would have been furious, but now Secretary Kim has just gotten used to it, so she just sighs.

[Long time no see, Chairman Jin.]

After a flight of about 9 hours, Alexei was met at the Moscow airport where we arrived.

We got into the car he had arranged, and we headed straight to the presidential palace under tight security, and soon met Putin, who was waiting for us.

Whoops.

Putin still reached out to me with a blunt face.

At first glance, it must have looked like an angry person.

In the meantime, I wondered if something bad had happened, and I was about to hold hands, but suddenly he pulled me up and patted me on the back.

[I was thinking of kidnapping if I don’t keep my promise this time too.]

Although it was a joke, it had a special meaning to me.

Even if no one else knows, he is a person who can do that.

When I respond with an awkward smile, he pats me on the back and leads me to the banquet hall.

[Honestly, I understand that I didn’t have time. So many things happened in Korea during that time. So, don’t worry about it, because I’ve been arguing.][of course.]

After a brief reply, I glanced at him.

No, to be precise, the bodyguard walking by his side, keeping pace.

It’s a face I want to be familiar with somewhere, but I can’t remember it.

[By the way, this is Alexander Karelin, who has been my bodyguard since a few days ago. Chairman Jin is well aware of Karelin, right?]

Putin, conscious of his gaze, hurriedly introduced him to me.

It was only then that the memory of him flashed through, and I almost instinctively stopped.

“Alexander Karelin….”

A legend of Russia and a member of the national wrestling team.

A person with the title of the strongest primate.

Oh My God!

Come to think of it, I heard that he became Putin’s bodyguard after his retirement, and I’m sure I’ll see him with my own eyes.

[It is an honor to meet you.]

Karelin’s hand, which seemed to be an opportunity, was the size of the lid of the pot.

Needless to say, he felt the grip force even though he did not give it any force.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

What was curious was Natasha’s reaction, but she too was showing curious eyes as if it was the first time she had met Karelin.

No, that’s more than just curiosity…

[By the way, Chairman Jin is also very courageous.]

After one round of greetings, Putin took a step back and uttered a hint at me.

It was a meaningful word for some reason, so I stopped and looked at him, and he smiled and continued.

[I said this because I was curious about what would happen if the relationship between us and the United States went awry.]

That was the crux of the matter.

It is a concern of our government and a part that still causes conflict for me.

He spoke with a firm expression.

[I haven’t decided to accept that offer yet.][··········.]

Putin looked at me silently.

Come all the way here and see what that means.

He took a moment to catch his breath and then he spoke again.

[So, before discussing the agreement, I need to give you some guarantees.][guarantee?][Yes, if there is a variable in the situation in which the business was started. For example, as the president just said, if relations with the United States are disrupted and business continuity becomes difficult, how will Russia compensate for it…][··········.]

Putin looked at me with an absurd tone.

Without hesitation he was speaking again.

[I am a trader. And traders hate variables when it comes to investing. But isn’t this problem too many variables? So, we have to do at least a minimum safety device for that part.][Hmm······.]

He sighed and looked around for a moment.

Meaning to vacate the place.

Immediately, the crowd retreated, leaving only me and Putin in the hallway.

[So, I hope I can give you a guarantee in some way.]

Fortunately, the expected response came.

That means it’s urgent.

After all, it should be a penny or two for the development of the Yamal Peninsula.

No matter how much Russia is going through a period of revival now, it is unreasonable for him to take a step back, as it is unreasonable to have to pay the minimum amount of tens of trillions of money alone.

[In the worst case, we guarantee you in-kind equal to the stake we invested and the penalty.]
