Chapter 150

Putin’s facial muscles twitched.

Has her self-esteem been hurt?

Even so, this is not a matter of retreat.

If that’s not guaranteed. And if history goes as planned, it will be a lesser business for me than I would not do it.

[If it is in kind, what do you mean specifically?]

Fortunately, positive words came out of Putin’s mouth.

This means that the hurdle has been passed.

He shrugged his shoulders for a moment as he relaxed.

[Think about that slowly.]

Even with his words, the reality of the reward flashed through his mind.

It could be a huge Russian underground resource, or it could be military technology.

Where can I get a thing or two from Russia?

You really should avoid doing that, but at least there’s no harm done.

[Twitter, I thought that somehow things would be easy. This is why it is difficult for me to negotiate with Chairman Jin.]

Putin said jokingly, as if trying to calm the mood.

Hey, this isn’t something to laugh about.



If you invade Crimea in the future, it will be a real problem.

Well, I don’t know again.

Indeed, the history may be erased.

[By the way, have you reviewed the materials I sent you the other day?]

Putin, who was quietly moving again, threw a topic of unknown meaning again.

There were only one or two documents sent to me, so when I couldn’t reply at once, he stopped walking again and looked at me.

[This is the material I gave to you through Natasha before. Regarding Jewish forces in the United States.][Ah! If that’s the case, I’ve considered it.][It would make the conversation a little easier.]

Putin took a step back and said.

Now, the distance to the banquet hall is only about 10 meters.

He immediately grabbed the doorknob and spoke again with the most serious expression on his face.

[If you reviewed the data, you would know that the conservative political forces in the United States are divided, right? The neocons, including Rumsfeld, and the Jewish forces centered on President Liam.][Yeah, I know.][The important point here is that the two forces are not as good as we think.]

I couldn’t understand Putin’s intentions.

About why he suddenly narrates the story of political forces in the United States at the place where he called me in such a long time.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Then, Putin spoke again.

[By the way, Liam recently came to see me. It also represents the United States.][Chairman Liam came to Russia?][It must have been about a week. Anyway, the fact that he came to me on behalf of the United States means that neo-cons are currently being pushed back in American politics, which would be welcome from the standpoint of Korea and Russia.][··········.][Chairman Jin knows from his experience, but the neo-cons just want to keep their pockets. It is also true that many countries are dying under the influence. So, if they get pushed out of American politics, isn’t it good for us?]

In fact, it was a different trend from history.

This reality is that neo-cons are losing their power in the conservative camp in the US.

Also by the power of the Jews.

But contrary to what Putin said, I don’t think it will affect the fundamental US policy direction.

After all, the Jewish group is also in their own interests. And it’s the same with being obsessed with American interests.

[Well, I’m not sure if that’s in the interest of Korea or Russia, but it’s true that neo-cons have great self-interest.]

The truth is that the profits earned by the neocon businesses through the Iraq war are truly astronomical.

As with the Iraq war, many conspiracy theories arose in part because of their influence.

[By the way, what was the real reason Liam came to the President?]

I stared at him, spewing out the question.

But Putin entered the banquet hall with only a smile, and it was only after he had finished eating that the subject began to be brought up again.

[Liam came to appease us.][··········.]

It was such a careless word, so at first I just stared blankly.

With his lips twisted, he speaks again.

[It was intended to suppress our opposition to the incorporation of Korea into the US foreign policy group in earnest.][So what did you answer?][For now, I agree.][Are you saying you just agreed? Without any conditions?][If there are no conditions, it makes no sense. I said that if the U.S. goes to check even Russia through Korea, I will respond decisively.][··········.]

Even so, it felt like something was missing.

In the end, if we become the first-class ally of the United States, it is like having the United States in front of us, but does it make sense to only accept promises that may or may not be kept?

It is clear that there was probably a more plausible behind-the-scenes deal, or that Russia had some weakness.

[And I am not in a position to oppose it.][··········.]

Again, there seemed to be a weakness.

What is it?

I want to ask a question right away, but I am not in the mood to give an answer just by looking at my face.

[What’s more, if his words are true, the international situation will fluctuate in the future, because I don’t want our Russia, which is now starting to bloom, to be caught up in that torrent again.]

Putin, who watched my face change from moment to moment, spoke again.

It is also difficult to infer its meaning.

When he frowned, he smirked.

[I noticed a lot of questions, but that’s all I can say. So, hear from President Liam directly for details.][What else is that…][I miss Liam. I have a meeting with Chairman Jin separately soon. So, for more details, you should hear from him directly. Why did I decide to remain silent, why did he come to the fore in American politics, who had been behind the scenes the whole time, and why does the United States want to include Korea in its first-class alliance?][··········.][Now, let’s throw away such painful stories and talk about business in earnest.]

Putin tried to end the conversation with only a vague aftertaste.

I’m not joking right now.

Who made the human head complicated?

This is why I am…

Whoops.

As I was complaining to myself, suddenly a large hand reached out to me with a pile of papers.

When I unintentionally raised my head, the one who smiled at me was Karelin.

Surprised by the grotesque smile reflected on her stern face, a swear word erupted out of her will.

“It’s a fucking surprise!”

[··········.][Ah, that’s…]

******

An hour after the meeting started, concrete conversations about the joint operation of the project had not yet begun.

In the meantime, what I’ve heard is basic information about the Yamal Peninsula.

As I, who had already been acquainted with history to the point of yawning, had to put up with Putin’s chin in his eyes and vomit with enthusiasm.

[The explanation of the Yamal Peninsula ends here. Now, let me ask you about Chairman Jin’s intentions again. Is Jaewoo willing to participate?][As I said before, I will definitely participate as long as you provide a guarantee for unexpected situations.]

I took hold of my hazy mind for a moment and answered.

In a moment, Putin reached out his hand to the secretary who was standing next to him, and then pushed the thick sheet of paperwork he had been handed over to me.

[How much share do you plan to allow?]

I asked as I passed the paperwork.

According to the original history, 60% of Novatek of Russia participated in the Yamal project. In addition, China and France each held approximately 20% of the equity structure.

Even if it’s faster than history, Russia will probably reconsider cooperation with France and China anyway.

If you’re going to keep it and put us in, you’re more likely to allow a 10-15% stake in each company.

It will be difficult to reduce Novatech’s stake below 50% in order to maintain the leadership of the business.

[Novatech 50%. France 20%. And let’s assume that Jaewoo will take care of the remaining 30%.][Good. 30% cotton… Yes?]

He swallowed the words he had uttered involuntarily.

30%. That’s like the second-largest shareholder, would you allow that?

No, second to that, China?

I looked at it quickly, wondering if I had heard something wrong, but Putin was looking at me with a look that seemed to be the problem.

[Why, you don’t like the share ratio?][No, it is not, but do you not consider the participation of other countries in this big project? For example, China and Japan… aren’t they the countries that are very interested in natural gas in the Yamal Peninsula?]

Putin smirked at the question.

Just when I feel like there’s something I don’t know, he continues.

[Anyway, if Jae-woo is in the position to participate, why would Japan have to be drawn in? And the exclusion of China is because of its commitment to the United States.][Promise?][In the future, instead of guaranteeing that they do not use Korea as Russia’s counter card, they asked me to prevent China from participating in the Yamal project.][So, you mean you agreed to that?][Because there is no reason to refuse.][··········.]

I had a feeling things were going a little strange.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It is understandable that the US intention is to damage China’s energy security, but why is Russia sympathizing with it?

China is a group that even Russia cannot get rid of, no matter how cheesy it is.

[But in China….][Let’s not follow that part.]

As soon as he was about to make a hint of luck, Putin hurriedly stopped him.

He had a firm expression on his face, so when he was silent again, he smiled and changed the topic.

[By the way, one of the key aspects of the Yamal project is the means of breaking up and mailing the frozen Arctic Ocean, so why not take care of that part at Jaewoo?]

That meant the need for an icebreaker.

Following the joint development of natural gas, if we are building the icebreakers, the pumpkins are coming in.

I nodded, of course, and Putin put down the pen he was holding, looking satisfied.

[Then it seems that we have roughly caught the big stem, so let’s leave the rest to the staff.]

The meeting that was supposed to be long ended with that.

The process and conclusion are too futile for dealing with important projects that will contribute to securing energy in Korea along with huge profits in the future.

As I always feel, negotiations with Putin were characterized by such neatness, which made it less tiring.

[By the way, congratulations. The fighter development went pretty smoothly, right?]

After that, our conversations continued mainly on the topic of logistics.

Whatever it is, it is customary to avoid sensitive areas.

As a result of that, the conversation was limited, and he suddenly spit out an abrupt question.

[By the way, how long do you plan to be alone?][··········.][Now that I am turning 40, I am still alone in the yard… According to Natasha, there are no women I’ve ever met, is it true?]

After saying that, she looked up at Natasha.

At that moment, her gaze met, and she averted my eyes and started to snort.

[If you can’t find a mate in Korea, how about looking for it in Russia?][Thanks for your words, but I will decline.][Why, are you really not interested in women at all?][It’s not, but it’s because I’m not thinking about getting married right now.][Twitter, I’m sorry. I thought if Chairman Jin was okay with it, I would introduce my daughter. Even though there is a big age difference, what about Chairman Jin?]

Cool!
