Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 195

[What else is that…]

My eyes were squinted.

China’s full energy independence.

Of course, although some reserves have been confirmed in some areas such as Xinjiang, I know that it is not at a level that achieves complete energy independence. How is that possible?

[What is China doing? I don’t know if oil, equivalent to Saudi Arabia’s, exploded somewhere in the country…]

I paused as I spit out the words.

As soon as I look at him with hopeful eyes, he sees a meaningful smile.

[Yes. It didn’t explode right away, but I did find a place where it could explode.][··········.][Of course, it’s still only a possibility, so I won’t make a serious face.]

Liam looked at my contemplative expression and read through it.

Block 7 was the one that flashed through my mind for a moment.

I immediately looked back at him, but he made a negative expression on his face.

[Of course, I’ve never seen a report saying that Block 7 also has a large amount of reserves. But the place I was talking about has a level of reserves that cannot even be compared to that.][Where is that?][According to the information, it is said to be somewhere in the West Sea, but that is not certain yet.][Are you standing?][exactly. However, the peculiar thing is that the shape of the core is so unique that there is information that it may be possible to mine in the waters of Korea.

[··········.]

In an instant, my eyes swelled.

As if it was the expected reaction, Liam grinned and clashed the glass again.

[Do you understand what I mean?][·······If mining is possible in our waters, there is a possibility of a dispute in the future. Because the Chinese side would not be willing to allow us to mine it.][That’s right. Right now, although China is resting like that because it is in the process of confirmation, if accurate data is confirmed, China will probably put pressure on Korea in earnest. Judging from their greed, they will never try to share it.]

Even if it is China, there are still remnants.

The question really is whether there are enough oil resources in the West Sea.

If that were true, there would have been a riot before the return, but no matter how much I remember, I had never heard of such a rumor.

‘Why?’

The reason why something that had never happened in history suddenly happened.

Maybe I was the only one who didn’t know?

No, only our people.

Had the government been burying it with the excuse that it was a headache even though it knew it?

‘Ah, no way……..’

I immediately shook my head.

If it was nothing else and such a huge oil resource, they would risk the fate of the country to protect it.

No, even if it’s not necessarily us, there’s no way the US could have left it entirely to the Chinese side.

If you do, it means that something that didn’t happen before the return really happened…

Damn it, everything is messed up now.

[Is that so? Why is China rapidly increasing its naval power recently?]

In the midst of thinking, I suddenly had a thought.

The reason why they are printing dozens of warships a year faster than history.

Maybe it’s to avoid being pushed back in a dispute with us that will arise in the future.

[Isn’t that also a reason? As I said before, a greedy Chinese would not want to share it with Korea. In the meantime, South Korea’s naval power is growing like crazy, so it’s probably trying to deal with it.]

Liam replied calmly.

After staring at the distant mountain for a moment as if to organize his thoughts, he spoke again with a very serious expression on his face.

[Now, let’s think about our worst case at this point.][··········.][What will happen if China monopolizes an enormous amount of oil resources that it can export? I’d probably vote for them to be the first to scratch America’s Achilles heel, the dollar hegemony.][··········.][Simply put, we can try to diversify oil payment methods. Middle East oil producers against the United States. And in alliance with the traditional anti-American oil-producing countries of South America.][··········.][In that case, surely the credit rating for the dollar will not be much different from before?][But the credibility of the dollar is not just because of the means of payment for oil.]

It was a rebuttal that came from the experience of living in the future.

Perhaps it was a remark that stabbed the core, Liam smiled and looked at him.

[Not wrong. But if that happens, a blow is inevitable. Especially in the United States, which is in a crisis like now.][··········.][What’s more, there is no oil producing country that already refuses to accept dollars as a payment method.][What do you mean?][exactly. Although they are making excuses for developing nuclear weapons, Chairman Jin knows that the decisive cause of Iranian sanctions is that they tried to weaken the power of the dollar.]

Of course, that was the part I was guessing.

Contrary to history, the US sanctions against Iran were strong and sudden.

The fact that it is not just because of nuclear development.

‘Damn it.’

But for me, that’s not important right now.

If there are such oil resources in the West Sea, friction with China is inevitable. How to deal with it is the question.

[You seem to be worried about the future, but there is nothing to worry about right now. After all, the burial is just a high possibility, and it has not been confirmed, and China is not yet strong enough in maritime power to crush Korea. Even so, 10 years from now, the story will be different.]

While he was deep in thought, Liam comforted him and spat out words.

The reason that is not particularly comforting is that the opponent is China.

Considering that they are the ones who are good at mass offensive, frankly, I don’t think it will take even 10 years.

Of course, the difference in technology cannot be overcome by quantity alone.

The problem is that in the meantime, they will try to steal technology like a vicious one, and after 10 years, it will reach a level that cannot be ignored.

‘I don’t think this is a situation where the technology leak problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible.’

[What do you think so deeply?][Oh, no. By the way, is the source of that information Mossad?][exactly.][It sounds like the information itself is not completely unfounded.][Probably so. As much as the information came from people of quite high rank in China. That’s why I’m also trying to verify the facts.]

Liam smiled and took a third glass.

His face slowly turned red.

It sounds like you’ve been drinking quite a bit.

‘Hmm······.’

At that moment, I suddenly had a strange imagination.

For some reason, I wonder if now will be an opportunity to solve a question that has not been answered before.

Well, if you ultimately refuse to answer, you have no choice but to promise a future date.

[Excuse me, but can you give me one answer? Unless it is very difficult to answer.][··········.]

For a moment, his eyes fluttered.

Proof that he understood the gist of the words.

Fortunately, the eyes are slightly different from before.

[Unless you’re an idiot, I’m sure it has something to do with me, but it’s unacceptable in nature to pretend that you don’t know.][Hmm······.]

Liam showed the light of conflict.

However, perhaps because of drunkenness, he puts down his glass with a more finite expression than before.

[With Chairman Jin. No, it has to do with Jaewoo. However, it was not confirmed, so I just kept my word.][··········.][good. After all, there’s nothing you can’t do in Madang, something that Chairman Jin will soon find out anyway. Actually, the Ministry of National Defense is considering securing the Ghost Eagle as an auxiliary force for the Air Force this time.][··········.][So, based on the results of this Red Flag training, we started analyzing the aircraft from various angles.][Who wants to secure the Ghost Eagle as an American force?]

Unintentionally, the word came out first.

As if it was an unexpected reaction, Liam flinched for a moment and looked at me.

[Ah! Sorry. Even for me, Ghost Eagle was developed with a lot of attachment…][I do not understand. Actually, I didn’t want to tell you about Chairman Jin’s reaction until it was confirmed.][··········.][By the way, let’s be honest about one thing. If the US Air Force really introduces the Ghost Eagle, wouldn’t it be good for Jaewoo?]

Of course, it’s a good thing.

It is possible for KAI to become a world-class aircraft maker at once if the quantity introduced by an army of the same size as the US Air Force.

The problem, however, is how it was introduced in the United States.

In our experience so far, it is highly likely that license production will be required.

In that case, in order to protect the core technology, we also need to request the sealing processing and monitoring and supervision rights of major equipment.

Just like before we returned to license production of the F-16, we hadn’t touched the core equipment at all.

The question is whether the United States, with its strong self-esteem, will accept it.

[If the introduction is confirmed, of course it will be licensed production, right?][Of course it is.][Then, do you know that even if I allow license production, technology transfer will not take place unlike other weapons?][That’s right. What’s more, the government won’t be able to make such unreasonable demands when the opponent is Chairman Jin, so you don’t have to worry about that.][No, I can’t help but worry. In the case of simple license production, we export the core equipment in a form that can only be assembled. In that case, it would be sealed and supervised all the time, would the US government recognize that?][··········.]

Liam was silent for a moment at that point.

After a while, he becomes nauseous and loses his appetite and spit out his words in a low voice.

[That was the part you were worried about. Well, for the U.S. military, it wouldn’t be very pleasant. But in the end, isn’t that how the poor man digs a well? If the US Air Force really decides to introduce it, I promise to take responsibility for it.][··········.]

I was a little embarrassed because it was such an unexpected response.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It is a characteristic of business people that they do not speak the word responsibility.

But coming out confidently like that means that you have the will to keep your promises, and that doesn’t mean you have confidence.

I am suddenly at a loss as to how to deal with this situation.

[You seem to have been quite shocked by the US Air Force. Well, by the way, is the production company going to be Boeing?]

I paused my thoughts for a moment and asked.

No matter how I think about it, the atmosphere seems to be going that way.

As expected, Liam’s head nodded immediately.

[I will.][Then Boeing’s logistics sector may also be a clue to the revival.][Well, I don’t think it’s a clue to the resurrection. I don’t know if it’s just an opportunity to stock up on stamina. My guess is that Boeing will probably use that money to upgrade the F-15.][You mean improving the F-15?][Isn’t it unreasonable to develop a completely new aircraft in Boeing’s situation now? So in order to survive, you have to do that. It must have been because of this, in fact, that he was a dissatisfied tutu just like Adam before. Still, why don’t you feel embarrassed when the company that once divided the world’s fighter market has reached such a point.]

I understand about that.

In the end, if the US government selects the Ghost Eagle, it will accelerate the decline of Boeing’s military sector.

There was no way Jaewoo could look pretty in that yard.

Even so, there is no other way to express how amazing Adam’s attitude when he finally reached out to Jae-woo is amazing.

‘Wait, by the way, there is no reason for me to allow license production at no cost.’

In the yard I hold in my hands.

[What are the conditions?][Condition?]

Liam tilted his head at my sudden spit.

There’s no way that seasoned trader didn’t understand his intentions, and it’s probably because the topic he wanted to avoid popped up.

[Damn, this is why I don’t want to talk to Chairman Jin for so long.]

He said again, unable to bear the piercing eyes of mine.

It will be so right away.

[I will listen to it as a compliment.][Not a compliment, but a curse.][··········.][Actually, there is no conclusion on that part yet, so I am careful about what I say. However, given the continued demands of the Air Force and the fact that there is no other alternative, it is necessary to present a candy that will convince Chairman Jin. Having said that, I am weighing the possibility that Jae-woo will propose that the US government will not raise any objection to the export of the Ghost Eagle in the future. Assuming, of course, that more downgrades are made than those offered to the US.]

Cool!
