Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 205

“Are you fixing the price of oil at $20 a barrel?”

It was a condition that was difficult to shake off easily.

Especially considering the international oil price that will fluctuate in the future.

Of course in the distant future. And there are times when the oil price went negative for several months due to the profit-loss problem of oil-producing countries, but that was a very special case.

In most cases, the average oil price has fluctuated around $40, and in severe cases, it has gone above $100.

“Hmm······.”

More importantly, the key point is that the price fluctuation has been zero for almost half a century.

This means that risks from fluctuations in oil prices can be reduced as much as possible, and in some cases, we can enjoy energy stability comparable to that of oil-producing countries.

“If I wasn’t wrong, it was. But in that case, you know that the government has to intervene, right?”

“Of course it is. If crude oil prices are supplied to companies as they are, the price competitiveness of related products becomes too strong. In that case, there is a high possibility that we will be hit with high tariffs as well as various retaliatory measures from importing countries.”

“After all, Chairman Jin is quick to judge.”

The president smiled faintly.

He looked awkwardly face to face and spoke again.

“Are you still thinking about controlling the supply price with taxes?”

“I think that’s the surest way. It will be a huge help in securing tax revenue for the government as well.”

In fact, I thought that was the point.

secure tax revenue.

As a president who is leading this country right now, that must have been the most attractive thing.

Even so, it is true that companies are also getting help.

To put it simply, it is easy to manage in various areas, including financial management, even without large fluctuations in oil prices.

In the end, there is no reason to reject the offer no matter what part you look at.

“It will definitely help a lot in terms of securing tax revenue. By the way, why did Saudi Arabia and the UAE make such a weighty proposal?”

I muttered carelessly.

Not because they really don’t know why, but because they’re embarrassed by their boldness to make such decisions.

The president smiles as if he understands the meaning and continues.

“They are definitely great people. But that’s it. In that case, Chairman Jin must also know that the expansion of our maritime power must follow, right? In other words, including the frigates . . . and maybe even an entire fleet could be built.”

“That would be a natural response. Securing the safety of oil transport routes is directly related to the survival of a country.”

I nodded slowly and answered.

One thought flashed through my mind for a moment.

Perhaps that also had an effect on the president’s greed to secure tax revenue.

No, not just the expansion of naval power, but the overall expansion of military power.

In other words, they are aiming for an increase in defense spending on this opportunity.

“Are you planning to raise the national defense budget if that happens?”

The thought immediately led to the question.

Again, an unusual expression.

As soon as he looked at me, his eyes filled with the meaning of acceptance.

“If it is at that level of securing tax revenue, honestly, wouldn’t it be possible to consider an increase in defense spending?”

“Hmm, then the problem is still America.”

He spit out a word involuntarily and immediately smiled.

In fact, I heard it as if it was sane to discuss the export of Ghost Eagle, but before I realized it, I was already speaking out with an attitude of sympathizing with the export.

As if it was funny, the president glanced at me.

“Looking at the expression on his face, it seems that Chairman Jin is also in the same mood. Let’s be honest at this point. Are you willing to try, if possible?”

“If it is a downgrade type of combat system including armament, there is no reason to reject it. What’s more, if it’s not a technology transfer, but a pure export situation. Besides, this is a business that will bring astronomical profits to Jaewoo, so there is no reason to object.”

“Even so, in the case of a full body bulletproof suit, isn’t it something that Chairman Jin was quite reluctant to export?”

“It is, though. Isn’t the other side almost like sharing blood with us now? In addition, whether it is a KF-02 or an exoskeleton, it is impossible to leak technology and equipment because our management and monitoring personnel must be stationed.”

“Ah! Coincidentally, I was curious about that as well, but is there really no possibility of a technology leak?”

“There is not. Even if the situation is the worst and the gas or the exoskeleton leaks, it is impossible to acquire a complete technology without materials and other basic skills.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, you can pretend. Especially in structural or other design aspects. But it’s literally just an imitation. And the end result is the mass production of waste. That’s the reason I went to the US and Russia to get super heat-resistant technology and other technologies, like I did.”

“So is it.”

The president finally nodded his head.

“By the way, I don’t understand why the two countries are not greedy for the heavy armored exoskeleton that I have put in this time. If we were in a situation where we were making a deal on such a great deal, it would have been greedy.”

“You must have thought that it was unreasonable. Or, I didn’t even know if I was afraid that Chairman Jin would reject me at once if I was greedy.”

The president responded with a face that seemed to be natural.

He fell into silence again, and after a while he looked at me again and said:

“I’m sorry, but could you please attend the upcoming meeting with the Secretary of State?”

“Am I?”

“About this, the US Secretary of State’s visit to Korea is not as unusual as Chairman Jin said. Unfortunately, there is no person in the government who can lead the negotiations as much as Chairman Jin.”

At times like this, it was really difficult.

Because I, as a civilian, in a government-to-government meeting would not be seen well by a U.S. government official.

But then, the president smiles slyly and says:

“If you’re looking for qualifications, don’t worry. After all, Chairman Liam is going to be there too.”

“·················ogue.”

******

smart!

“You left work early.”

A few days later, when I entered the company, Manager Kim Young-gi quickly came up with a report.

Perhaps it was because he was in charge of the relocation of the headquarters, and he still had a pile of papers in his hand, which had a much emaciated face.

“Are the preparations going well?”

“Yes, the government is actively cooperating.”

“I heard that they are not building a new building, but is there a place where all our headquarters can move in?”

“It sounds like you don’t have to worry about that. Fortunately, Samjong Group Chairman Lee decided to sell the Samjong Group Education Center in Naegok-dong. The size of the site is just right, and the size and structure of the building are also appropriate, so if you want to, you can relocate within a month.”

That was quite fortunate.

After all, the relocation of the headquarters is not the name of the children.

If we had to build a new building, we would have to spend another month.

It seems that sooner or later, Chairman Lee will have to buy rice separately.

“Me and this…”

As soon as he nodded carelessly, Director Kim pushed in another document.

The first thing that caught my eye was the word PMC.

What I later confirmed was the news that the relevant law amendments had been submitted to the National Assembly.

“Is this already?”

“Isn’t it just the season of the special assembly? Rep. Kim Dong-ho, whom the president promised a future for before, seems to be taking an active role, centering on members of the party.”

“Then we have to move the media slowly.”

Director Kim nodded his head as if it was natural to say that.

For some reason, his attitude of slowly staring at me.

I look at him to see if he has something else to say, and he scratches his head with a shy expression.

“If you have something to say, do it.”

“Oh, nothing else, PMC. If established, wouldn’t it require quite a lot of talent?”

“It would be. So Special Forces and UDT. And I plan to recruit a large number of veterans from other special forces.”

Director Kim’s eyes lit up for a moment.

He wanted to take a piece of paper out of his pocket, and then he pulled in a resume.

“Who is this?”

“I am Major Chae-Hoon Kang, who was responsible for the Iraqi retaliatory operation this time.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, I am currently active duty, but I have confirmed that I will be discharged soon.”

widely!

I put down the pen I was holding and looked at Director Kim.

Perhaps he understood the meaning of the eyes, he hurriedly continues his explanation.

“Of course, he is an essential person in the military. However, since his disposition is so extreme, the military does not put any weight on the possibility that he will be promoted to general in the future. So for him, it would be better for us to bring him.”

“What is your attitude?”

“Well, I don’t know how to describe this…”

“·················ogue.”

“Let’s meet in person first.”

While pondering for a moment, Director Kim made a nonsensical comment.

The moment he showed a hopeful expression, he quickly approached the door and soon led the person in the photo on his resume.

“How at this hour…”

“The Joint Chiefs of Staff have given us a leave of absence due to the success of this operation. So I contacted them in advance.”

I got up from my seat, leaving behind Director Kim’s words.

At the same time, Major Kang Chae-hoon, who approached me, stretches out his hand and throws polite words.

“This is Chae-Hoon Kang. It is an honor to meet you.”

“It is an honor for me. I never expected to see a hero who succeeded in such a difficult operation without any damage.”

Major Kang gave a small smile at those words.

It was a pretty sharp impression, but looking at her smiling face, it doesn’t seem like a particularly demanding style.

“But it’s surprising.”

“Yeah?”

Kang Chae-hoon quickly raised his head at my sudden question.

Just in time, Secretary Kim brought out a cup of coffee, and I recommended it to Chae-Hoon Kang and said it again.

“The fact that a person like Major Kang would have thought of leaving the military so easily.”

For a moment, Major Kang’s eyes flickered.

A look that leaves a lasting impression.

After that, he quickly regained his focus, he hints.

“Honestly, it wasn’t an easy decision. However, I thought that if it was a PMC established by Jaewoo, it would be good to bet on the future……”

“Did you?”

It was a backstory that left a lasting impression, so I urged the backstory.

The moment their eyes met, he showed a faint smile.

“Also, I think it’s good for myself.”

“For Major Kang himself?”

“That’s right.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“·················ogue.”

It was a meaningful word for some reason, so I glanced at him.

He, who had never averted his gaze at all, at some point slowly lowered his gaze and said:

“Actually, I don’t get along with the military. Even so, if I stay in the military until the end, I want to do something big someday.”

My eyebrows were raised secretly too.

Perhaps he felt that the explanation was not enough, and the manager, Kim, who was beside him, opened his mouth urgently, but I quickly waved his hand.

“Ah, now Major Kang’s words are…….”

“I know what you mean.”

“·················ogue.”

“If you look at our current military tendencies, there are quite a few things that we have to compromise on as the ranks go up. Doesn’t that mean it doesn’t fit with Major Kang?”

“That’s right.”

Chae-Hoon Kang nodded his head with his eyes shining.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a soldier like that.

I immediately reached out to him in greed that suddenly appeared.

“good. Let’s say Jae-woo hires Major Kang Chae-hoon. As soon as your vacation is over, make sure to submit your entire campaign immediately.”

“·················ogue.”

As if it was such a sudden decision, Major Kang as well as Chief Kim’s eyes widened.

To be honest, if you have already made a decision, wouldn’t it be better to act quickly?

As if reading the meaning from his expression, Major Kang holds my hand firmly and says:

“I will not disappoint you.”

“Even if you don’t make such a promise, I don’t think you will be disappointed.”

I stood up with a short reply.

The moment I opened the door to see them off, my eyes met Natasha, who was waiting on the other side.

[···········.]

Natasha’s eyes that passed me went straight to Major Kang.

those intense eyes.

I’m sure I’ve seen it sometime, but I can’t remember.

glance.

Then, this time, a spark suddenly bursts from Major Kang’s eyes, looking at Natasha.

The tension that flows between the two of them.

It was then that I realized the identity of those eyes that Natasha was sending.

Ho Seung-shim.

The same expression he had when he met Alexander Karelin in Russia.

“Hmm······.”

This is some kind of atmosphere…
