Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 171

The news of Korea’s completion of hypersonic cruise missile development following Japan’s plan to develop supersonic anti-ship missiles stimulated China in earnest.

[The Chinese government is said to be holding a large-scale military parade at the end of next month. Most of our military experts view it as a countermeasure against the hypersonic cruise missile announced this time…]

The demonstration method they chose was to promote their armed forces to the outside world through a military parade.

It seems to be an expression of the will to show the results of various weapon developments that have been heated recently, but most of them are probably based on technologies secretly collected through Russia as well as the United States.

‘Because historically. By the way, at this point, I will have to check the security of the research institutes and other businesses again.’

As soon as I thought of that thought, I was overcome with caution.

Because the US and Russia are also subject to technology hijacking, we are no exception.

However, recently, there have been frequent reports of damage from other companies.

Well, it’s Jaewoo’s security system. It’s an impregnable fortress, so there’s nothing to worry about, but it’s time to focus on managing key personnel.

Is it the goddamn plan, or the plan of everyone?

That’s not something to ignore at all.

[North Korea has decided to advance the anniversary of the founding of the Labor Party, which was scheduled for October. As a result, we are preparing for a large-scale military parade […]

A few days after China responded, North Korea also took part in protests.

The anniversary of the founding of the Labor Party, which is still several months away, has been advanced.

It may just be my judgment, but seeing it, I thought that it was meant to build some kind of internal solidarity rather than a demonstration.

He intends to capture the anxiety of the people from the ever-growing military power gap between the two Koreas.

‘wait. By the way, why haven’t we heard about nuclear development lately?’

I did the math with a sudden thought.

According to history, the news of North Korea’s successful nuclear test should have been heard right away.

Still, isn’t it strange that it’s quiet like this?

‘Is the timeline tangled again? Damn, I can’t even imagine what’s going on in the world these days.

“My fellow citizens. Today, on March 1, Independence Day, I would like to make a few declarations before you.”

March 1, 2008.

At the event held at the Independence Hall, the President delivered a public address to the people.

This independence commemoration event was a situation in which the government paid more attention than ever before.

That probably also affected the fact that this president is a descendant of a family of merit, but we also seemed to have a strong intention to solidify ahead of the upcoming large-scale dispatch of troops.

One, we are determined to face any foreign aggression and threat.

One, we declare that we will mobilize all our capabilities to respond in case of a crisis that threatens the existence of the nation.

The president’s declarations were primarily security-related.

In short, the one who touches us will never be whole.

In the end, it was in line with the last administration’s sting strategy, and in fact, in our current situation, it was the best we could do.

[Korea is a country that advocates pseudo-democracy. Although the current government claims to be right-wing, it is effectively following the left-leaning previous governments.]

After the president’s declaration of the March Day, Japan’s Mainichi Shimbun slandered the Korean government through editorials.

Radical rhetoric that has never been seen before.

Since then, the influence has also affected all Japanese media, and the atmosphere of Japan as a whole has been stained with hatred.

[The Korean government is diverting the funds we have provided for peacekeeping to strengthen its own forces. In addition, he is making statements that pour cold water on the diplomacy that the president himself worked on…][Right now, Asia is highly likely to enter an infinite arms race system because of Korea. In the meantime, Japan uses only 1% of GDP for defense spending, so a reversal of defense power may occur in the future.][The necessity of Japan’s development of offensive weapons became clearer. We are no longer just wary of China…]

“Ttttttt…….”

The reaction of Japan, which is becoming more and more explicit, made my tongue ache.

I understand the anxious psychology, but I wonder if that would be close to a riot.

The intention is probably to dream of transforming into a normal country based on this, but it probably won’t be easy.

“The vehicle is ready.”

As Michael had predicted, President Liam had visited the Blue House.

Even the Blue House knows that he is actually the mouth of the US government, even if he is a representative of a large business group.

Thanks to this, conversations continued between him and the president for a full day, and I didn’t receive an invitation until the next day.

Cheeky!

“Welcome to.”

Yoo In-tae, the new chief of staff, was a person I had met several times.

He was the brain of Lee Joo-hwan’s camp.

Rumor has it that most of the current president’s presidential campaign promises came from his head, and I gave them a generous score as most of them are pretty much grounded in reality.

“Aren’t you playing golf these days?”

“I like billiards more than golf. Well, I don’t have time right now, so I’m worried about when I’ll catch up with the queue again.”

He jokingly responded to the suggestive greeting.

Afterwards, following his guidance, we arrived at the private room where the dinner party was taking place.

What caught my eye as soon as the door opened was the strong presence of Chairman Liam.

[Oh oh! How much is this?]

He came towards me, still stroking his handsome mustache.

After a short handshake, I turned my attention to the place where the president and the people around him were.

After begging Liam for a while, he approached them.

“That gentleman has been staring at the door the whole time since before. It seems that he has been waiting for Chairman Jin for quite some time.”

The president smiled and said to me as he approached me.

You’re probably talking about Liam.

I reply with a smile and he whispers again.

“Don’t worry about us, let’s go.”

“Yes, then…”

With a slightly more relaxed heart, I approached Liam again.

Suddenly holding two champagne in his hand, he immediately offers one of them to me and says:

[Have you been to Russia well?][Yes, thanks to this, it was quite easy to secure a stake in the gas field development project.][How could that be thanks to me? I was only intending to make China suffer from energy independence, which is a transient challenge for dollar hegemony.]

Liam abruptly talked about the hegemony of the dollar.

Surprised, I immediately looked at him, and he nodded his head with a faint smile.

[You don’t seem to know. After all, it was a situation in which our side was very strict about information management. But it’s true. For some time now, China has been pressing Iran and other oil producing countries to change the way they pay for oil. Paying in Yuan, not dollars.]

It was only then that I realized where the deterioration of the relationship between the United States and China, ahead of its time, was coming from.

The challenge for dollar hegemony.

If true, that’s really an all-out challenge for America, and America can’t tolerate it.

But the question is, how is that possible?

None of the Chinese leaders I know of at this time can touch the heart of the United States so openly.

Moreover, China does not yet have the power to be so confident.

[By the way, shall we talk separately for a moment?]

For a moment, Liam gently pushed my back and led me to a quiet place.

Soon after, he sat down on a pole where the eyes of his surroundings were blocked to some extent, and he secretly put Michael’s name in his mouth.

[I have heard the story from Michael. The Korean government is quite concerned about Japan’s possession of supersonic anti-ship missiles?]

He was silent on the slurred main point.

What came to mind later was that it was the same as before.

In other words, his personality was that he hated having four legs in the first place.

[That’s right, I’d like to borrow the power of the chairman if possible.][Hmm······.]

Liam let out a meaningless sigh.

He soon put on a look on his face as if he was very perplexed, and then continued.

[It is not difficult to use force. But do you know that? From the perspective of the US government, Japan is a fairly important ally.]

It wasn’t wrong.

No, it is true that Japan had a greater role to play in the United States until not long ago.

[Do you still think so?]

But that’s a thing of the past.

Strictly speaking, we are now the United States, the economy, and the military. And it is in a position that cannot be compared with Japan in policy making.

It is difficult to cling to old memories and forget them.

[Hmm······.]

Liam looked at me with his eyes shining.

As he calmly emphasizes that point again, his brows are narrowed.

[I understand what you mean, but Japan is also a country of its own importance to the United States.][I guess so. There is no other country as good to peel and eat as Japan from the perspective of the United States.][··········.]

For a moment, Liam looked puzzled.

But how come it’s true?

that’s messed up anyway. I spoke without hesitation.

[I didn’t intend to say this, but Jaewoo is contributing a lot to the American economy. Besides, our investment philosophy is different from the Japanese investment method, which only sucks a lot of money from the US.]

Liam’s eyebrows twitched at those words.

What he was thinking, his eyes, which had been rolling for a while, were focused on me again.

[What are you talking about now? Somehow it sounds like a threat to me, am I overthinking it? If I do not cooperate, I will recover Jaewoo’s huge investment…][Is that so? No matter how large my investment is, how much will it affect the American economy? I’m just trying to do a lot like we, or me, are complaining that the US government can’t just do one of them.]

Liam had a puzzled expression on his face.

For some reason, as soon as he rolled his eyes back and forth, he spoke bluntly.

[Actually, the investments and businesses that Jaewoo is carrying out in the United States are highly likely to cause the US economy in the future. Moreover, I admit that Chairman Nan Jin is different from Japanese businessmen just by reinvesting in the United States rather than recovering profits completely.]

In fact, reinvestment in the US was not necessarily done with this in mind.

It was just the timing, and it happened because the country itself had so many opportunities.

By the way, looking at the tone of the voice, it feels like the wall has been torn down a bit, so it would be good to sneak out the main point.

[For reference, I am not claiming to block Japan’s development of supersonic anti-ship missiles. In fact, it will become a burden on the president as well. So, I want to limit the range of the supersonic anti-ship missile that Japan intends to develop.]

Liam’s eyes narrowed considerably.

He knew something accusatory was coming, but unexpectedly positive signs came.

[If there is a distance limit, how much line do you want?][Up to 100 km. That is the limit we can accept.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[100 kilometers? If that happens, the strategic value will be zero, so do you really want Japan to be shackled now? Like it once did to Korea?]

It felt like my thoughts were being read.

The fundamental reason why I insist on limiting the range.

Well, that’s how it happened anyway.

I spoke out a little more openly.

[Yes. If you can’t stop Japan’s development of offensive weapons anyway, it’s not bad to fill in the shackles. Like we did, the shackles that cannot be easily removed. To be honest, considering the resistance of neighboring countries even for the United States, isn’t that a less burdensome way?][··········.]

Liam couldn’t help but respond.

In hindsight, it’s not wrong.

Are we the only ones concerned that Japan’s development of offensive weapons is the first step in rearmament?

In the end, if the neighboring countries also knew about this, they would start a riot, but it is not true that the burden on the United States would be less if such shackles were put on.

[Hmm······.]

Liam stared at me as I spoke resolutely.

I wondered what he was thinking, and for a while his eyes seemed to shake quite badly, and then he glanced at the direction of the President.

[Is that the official position of the Korean government?]

It was hot for a moment.

Strictly speaking, it came from my thoughts rather than the government’s position.

[That’s right.]

But don’t hesitate to answer.

I had been discussing this issue with the president before he arrived, and in the end, I’ve decided to push my ideas forward.

eating.

But then Liam showed a meaningful smile.

Somehow, it’s like his father’s eyes looking at his son who asks for pocket money using his childhood reference book as an excuse.

But why?

For a moment, a strange tickling sensation on the back rushed in, and a strange thought followed, wondering if it would be better if we could break down the wall with him a little more.

[This is the conclusion, but it would be right to think that my thoughts were fully reflected.]

I ended up saying it again.

his twisted lips.

Then he slowly took a step closer to me and spit out words that made his ears doubtful.

[Chairman Jin’s thoughts were fully reflected… I will accept that offer.][··········.]

What?

you just get it?

Without any payback?

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-172
