Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 218

Whew!

December 2010.

I boarded a flight to the UAE that had been delayed.

If it had gone as planned, he had to participate in the succession ceremony, but the conflict with China broke out just in time, so he was now heading to the UAE.

Fortunately, Mohammed and Hassad understood the situation and agreed to postpone export negotiations for a while.

[welcome. Brother!]

Mohammed, who was reunited at the airport, stood out even more than before.

It is said that the qualifications of a king, not the crown prince, are revealed through his body.

Perhaps because of that, the event to welcome me and the Prime Minister was also on a different level than before.

What is this…… Even if it’s a protocol for the heads of state, isn’t it enough?

For a while, the Prime Minister was puzzled by the wind.

[The purchase quantity of ground weapons, including the K2 tank, has not changed.][If you do, we will start production as soon as we return.]

Negotiations, which started after the welcome banquet, proceeded without any problems.

After all, most of the purchase decisions had already been made at the arms fair.

As a result, the purchase of the K2 tank as well as the Redback, which is not yet fully developed, as well as the Biho 2, has been confirmed.

What is disconcerting is the UAE’s tactical surface-to-surface missiles. In other words, KTSSM was also considering introducing an additional one, which was probably a measure with Iran in mind.

[Is the relationship with Iran still serious these days?]

I took KTSSM’s export request as a little serious.

Tactical surface-to-surface missiles are practically more of an offensive weapon than a defensive weapon.

It felt unfamiliar for a country that pursues peace like the UAE to want it.

Apparently, a pretty dark shadow was cast over the Middle East while we weren’t paying attention.

[It’s getting worse and worse. This is because the U.S. is raising the level of sanctions. In fact, the other part is tolerable, but the problem is that Iran has been expanding its missile power recently.][The reason why you want to import KTSSM is…][In that case, we need to have some means to preempt the long-range rockets and missile bases that will be launched from the other side of the strait. In that sense, he said that the thermobaric bomb developed by Jaewoo would be quite effective.]

His mood was somehow different from before.

Somehow, if I used to have a great fear of war, now I feel like I am accepting the possibility.

His position as a king must have changed him in quite a few ways.

[Well, I had a conversation with Crown Prince Hasad for a while before Chairman Jin came.][···········.][The issue of Hyeonwoo Energy and POSCO’s stake. I will follow Chairman Jin’s suggestion.]

Judging from the discussion of that issue, it seemed that Ghost Eagle would be on the negotiating table in earnest.

As he glanced at the prime minister, his eyes were gleaming.

After all, it would be a position that the Prime Minister would welcome the transfer of the shares of the two companies back to us.

Moreover, in the case of POSCO, it is no different than a national key industry, and it is inevitable that it will be subject to outside interference in its operation forever.

[Instead, we want to be supplied first. In other words, interim delivery to other countries should not be made until the import quantity is fully filled.]

I looked at the Prime Minister again.

Of course, it is a product that I make and sell, but the issue of determining the supply order is a part of the government that needs to consider equity between countries.

However, due to the news that the US has confirmed its introduction, even NATO countries are considering the introduction.

Moreover, it is not an easy decision to make when you do not know how many orders will be made.

[How many units are you considering introducing…?]

The prime minister spit out a question.

Knowing that, you know that you can decide whether to pass it on or not by substituting it with KAI’s production capacity.

He didn’t really need to go out, so he was silent and watched their conversation.

[Our UAE wants to import 120 Ghost Eagles. And since there is no Crown Prince Hasad here, it is difficult to mention the exact number, but Saudi Arabia is also considering introducing a quantity of that level.][this······.]

The prime minister sighed in embarrassment.

It is not known how many years it will take KAI’s production capacity to meet the quantity of 240 units, which is not unreasonable.

Moreover, it is even more difficult considering that the quantity to be supplied to our military is currently in production.

[good. I do that.]

But I immediately spat out an answer.

The bewildered prime minister momentarily looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.

[You can use Boeing’s line. Since the line change business is already in progress, production is possible after about a year.][Ah! But in that case…]

The unfinished words of the prime minister were probably meant to express the resentment that comes from being deprived of supplies.

It’s not unreasonable because the number of jobs that will be created if we accommodate all 240 people is actually quite large.

As the prime minister of a country, it is natural to feel regretful.

“You don’t have to worry too much. That’s not to say that Boeing will make all 240. KAI will also expand the line as much as possible, but still exceed the unacceptable volume.”

But I am a businessman.

It’s me anyway, whether it’s made by Boeing or KAI, my profits are guaranteed, and in order not to miss out on those profits, shouldn’t the government be made to endure what it has to endure?

“Well, that’s good.”

The prime minister did not react in the end and responded with an awkward smile.

This has solved the most important problem.

Perhaps thanks to this, there were no difficulties in the subsequent price negotiations.

No, it’s hanging from the other side anyway, so there’s no reason to be dissatisfied with the price.

Moreover, it is true that the price has gone down to the extent that it is reasonable due to mass production.

smart!

[Majesty!]

While negotiations continued over the optional part of the armament to be installed, someone knocked on the door and entered the conference hall.

Judging by the number of stars hanging from the uniform he is wearing, he seems to be the main commander of the army.

After that, the man who approached Mohammed glanced at us and whispered something, and for some reason Mohammed’s eyes widened and turned towards me.

[What happened?][that······. It seems that there has just been a war in Iraq.][If it’s a fight, you mean our troops?]

If true, it was a disappointment.

Since the withdrawal is in progress all the way, there are not many troops left.

No, there are U.S. forces, but considering the location and distance where they were stationed…

[No, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.]

Mohammed spoke again while all his thoughts ran through his mind.

Ah…why didn’t I think of that?

After all, the SDF’s advance squad was already in the Korean army’s sector.

But, who the hell are they fighting with?

[What is the identity of the enemy?]

After thinking, I asked Mohammed again.

Biting his lips with a serious expression, he says with a grunt and pain.

[They claim to be descendants of the One God and the Temple.][···········.]

******

Boo Woong!

Akio, a member of the Ground Self-Defense Force’s Special Operations Forces, went on a reconnaissance mission in Mosul in accordance with the mission of the advance squad.

Not long ago, Mosul was one of the main points where the Korean military was stationed.

Of course, some troops still remain, but they will probably all withdraw in a few days, and the Self-Defense Forces will take over from now on.

“It’s unpleasant.”

As he was thinking about what he was thinking, a grunt came out of his mouth.

Hara, who was driving, asks quickly at his sudden words.

“You seem to be having a conversation with the Korean military commander during the day. Did anything happen?”

“What is work? We just received information about the rebel forces remaining in Mosul.”

“But why…”

Hara looked at her gently and asked again.

The words he heard were of a kind he had never expected.

“The Korean military commander. The way they looked at us was quite unpleasant.”

“·················ogue.”

“Somehow, it’s like looking down on you… No, it must have felt like they were trying to show their superiority.”

“Ah, that’s it…. To be honest, looking at the history of the South Korean military in Iraq, it is not worth having that much pride.”

“Who doesn’t know that?”

Akio gently raised his voice.

He also acknowledges the achievements of the Korean military, but wouldn’t it be difficult to be a means of defending their arrogance?

Moreover, Akio himself belonged to the elite in his own way.

He even received formal instructor training for the US Delta Force for six months.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way to explain it other than that it was a provocation.

“To be honest, if our special forces are equipped with that level of armament, there is no reason to be pushed back. How dare the cheeky XXX be sleazy…”

His ensuing swear words seemed to be a means to restore his broken self-esteem.

Do I have to overreact to such an extent because of just one look?

In a situation where it is not yet clear what the intention of the person who sent the glance was.

Hara spit out the words again, thinking that they should correct the misunderstanding.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to ignore you.”

“·················ogue.”

Akio frowned and looked at him.

It’s like you know how you look.

It was something he had to go through many times during his life with him, so he says it again without being too special this time.

“If it was meant to be ignored, there would have been no reason to give us word-by-word advice, as they do when they come to us. And from what I heard, the South Korean military was pretty friendly in the process of taking over the other crew members as well.”

“So, you’re saying I’m being forced now? For what reason?”

He had a puzzled expression on his face at the question.

I really don’t want to know why.

Akio himself is the descendant of a family with strong far-right tendencies, which makes it a shame if he is the second child in Japan.

Because of that, he was always influencing the thoughts of the crew, wasn’t it?

“Chief, why do you hate Korea?”

“What do you mean by that?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Akio frowned at Hara’s sudden words.

Now, Hara’s words continue again with an expression that seems to have something to say.

“I have felt that way many times over the past two years while living under the director.”

For a moment, Akio’s face shriveled up.

He, too, speaks with a bubbly expression as if he was about to correct Hara’s attitude, who used to be bitter at her boss every time for today.

“Then do you think Korea is a normal country? Even if you see their attitude that obstructs the future by obsessing over the past? No, how about crying out for rewards when the time is right, like beggars.”

“·················ogue.”

He was silent when he said that.

She had a lot to say back, but she thought that it would not work.

Akio looked at his expression and asked again as if he understood the meaning.

“By the way. Why is it that my dislike of Korea is something you would take so boldly? Ah! Maybe it’s because you’re half Korean? Or is it because your wife is pure Korean?”

“·················ogue.”

Hara’s face contorted at those words.

Although I could bear other things, I couldn’t bear it as much as mentioning my wife.

But it was just there.

A fight with a superior in a special army with a stronger hierarchical order than elsewhere is likely to become a serious problem, and if it is in another country, the level of censure will be even higher.

As if knowing that, Akio pushed him even more.

“I don’t care if you like Korea. But even that to me…”

Akio, who had been speaking for a while, suddenly blurted the end for some reason.

“stop!”

His hand swayed quickly.

Cheeky!

The quick-witted Hara immediately applied the brake, and the cars following him stopped at the same time.

“Why?”

I asked him why he was so nervous.

Akio, who looked around Yeonsin, raised his hand and pointed to the street they had just passed.

“Isn’t something strange?”

“·················ogue.”

“The street is so quiet.”

“That’s the time….”

Hara said, pointing to the darkening sky.

Awesome sweetheart!

But then, a sound of ripping the air is heard from somewhere, and one of the operation vehicles in the back causes a huge explosion and rolls over to the other side.

“It’s an attack!”
