Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 25

Cheeky!

A few hours later, key figures in our military who received a call rushed to the event site.

Were you surprised by the sudden decision?

The faces of the generals getting out of the car were all puzzled, and Oh Jung-geun, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who arrived just in time, grabbed Captain Lee Dong-wook and checked the facts over and over again.

“Have you really decided to introduce it?”

“That’s right. It’s so sudden for me too, so I won’t…”

“What are you thinking? What if a problem arises after deciding to introduce it without even verifying its own operation?”

“You must have thought that if our destroyers were operable anyway, there would be no problem. But how did the export approval come so quickly?”

“The request for reconsideration of the feasibility of export approval had already been in existence for a month. He was already watching the fact that Jaewoo was developing a smart bullet. Besides, the opponent must be the United States.”

Captain Lee Dong-wook nodded his head as if in agreement.

He quickly glanced at me and introduced me to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a look of regret.

“Really, this is Jin Hyun-seung, the general manager of Jauthales.”

At those words, Chairman Oh Jung-geun of the Joint Chiefs of Staff immediately turned to me.

He looks like he has a lot to say.

However, perhaps because of the unfavorable circumstances, he only expressed his interest by holding my hand with such a strong force that it felt like an ugly thing.

“I want to say hello to you in a place you never expected. Oh Jung-geun, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

“It is an honor to meet you. I am Jin Hyun-seung, the head of the Jauthales policy office.

“Well, we’ll talk about the details later, and I don’t know if you’ve heard the story through Deputy Commander Lee Dong-wook.”

That’s probably talking about securing the GPS.

As he slowly nodded, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Oh Jung-geun glanced at the approaching Captain Jeffrey and whispered.

“Export is also an export, but that problem must be resolved.”

[Let’s go to the camp instead of doing this here.]

His words were cut off by the intervening Captain Jeffrey.

Why does he have to change his seat?

As he tilted his head in his puzzled mind, Michael muttered.

[As far as we are concerned, there is no need to worry about wiretapping in our camp…]

Only then did I understand why they insist on camp as their negotiating venue every time.

Ttt, whoever sees them would know that they don’t collect information on their allies.

America is the country with the most wiretapping in the world.

[To tell the truth, I have already been entrusted with full power by the Minister of the Navy. Therefore, I would like to inform you that my words are the official position of the US Navy, and that there are areas that need to be coordinated prior to negotiations.]

When Captain Jeffrey arrived at the camp, he immediately brought up the subject.

In a way, he is a person who has a tendency similar to that of Lieutenant General Michael.

As a negotiator, this is my preferred style.

[Tell me.]

He scribbled something on the note before answering.

The words were not easily recognizable because the handwriting was so bad.

It didn’t take long, however, to realize that those were the names of major U.S. defense companies.

[What does this mean?][If the US Navy decides to introduce smart ammunition, all the companies listed here will stand up. Maybe the president is in trouble.][··········.]

It wasn’t wrong.

This is an era when defense industry lobbying was the most active in the US political circle.

In a state where the import of armor-piercing ammunition had already been made in spite of opposition, it would have been difficult to suppress their backlash and import weapons from abroad.

[So?][So we want a way to create licenses. That is the minimum safeguard that will keep the US military industry shut.]

For a moment, I was worried.

It is impossible for them to raise the unit price just because it is a licensed production method. In the end, it must be said that a certain part of the profit is blown away.

However, in the case of the U.S. Navy, it is difficult to give up because there will be so many items to be introduced.

[Instead, the army will also actively consider the introduction of ground-launched artillery shells.]

While he was calculating, Michael threw a rice cake.

It is a situation where it is possible to compensate for the loss if the army can digest it.

The problem is that it was part of the calculation anyway, so we have to think differently.

“Director Hyunseung Jin. Let’s not forget that we have to somehow get a military GPS this time.”

Oh Jung-geun, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was beside me, pushed me.

A look on his face that is anxious for things to go wrong.

After arranging the thoughts running through his head, he answered.

[Please sell the US military GPS to our military instead.]

fuck.

Jeffrey and Michael both smiled at the same time.

Was it the expected requirement?

After all, it’s not surprising that the US military is the one who knows this weak point best.

[Okay, we’re going to ask Congress for approval as soon as possible.][There is no possibility that the approval will be refused, right?][All of the main defense members of the House of Representatives as well as the Senate are people related to the defense industry. In other words, there is no reason to kick the profits back to them.]

Whoops!

At the same time as the answer, Chairman Oh Jung-geun of the Joint Chiefs of Staff clenched his fists.

With this, one of the long-awaited projects of our military has been solved, so it is a natural result.

But what about compensation for my losses?

I’m sorry, but from now on, I will claim compensation for the blown pie.

[Sorry, but there is one more condition.]

For a moment, everyone’s expressions hardened at the same time.

Jeffrey and Michael, as well as Chairman Oh Jung-geun of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

After all, it is not unreasonable that the expression on the face is rotten, as it is no different from sprinkling ashes again in the yard where the result of the consultation that everyone is satisfied with has been reached.

[You mean you can’t be satisfied with GPS?][To be honest, it’s a big loss for me with just one GPS. That being said, please lift the weapon installation restrictions on the F-16 series.][·······What do you want to unlock?][To be precise, I want all of the weapons to be developed by Jauthales in the future to be integrated into the F-16 series.]

It was probably a difficult condition to listen to.

The United States traditionally does not allow easy installation of weapons developed elsewhere on the fighters it exports.

In other words, they make excuses for leaking the source code and other excuses, but in the end, it is clear that it is a trick to sell my weapons.

That is why it is important to have our own platform, and that was the biggest reason why Korea attempted to develop its own fighter in the future.

[No, why suddenly sparks are there…][Why, is that impossible?][Regardless of possible or not, among the weapons produced by Jauthales, is there anything that can be integrated into a fighter?][Not yet, but we plan to develop it soon. As a top priority, we are planning to develop a Korean-style JDAM.][··········.]

Captain Jeffrey made an expression on his face, wondering if that could be possible.

Unlike him, Michael whispered to Jeffrey with a very serious expression on his face.

[I’m not saying it’s very unlikely, sir. Can’t a company that has the technology to put all precision guidance functions into that small cannonball can develop only one guidance kit?][··········.]

For a moment, Captain Jeffrey’s face turned pale.

Oh Jung-geun, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was by my side, whispered insinuatingly as if I felt the atmosphere was strange

“Look here, Director Jin Hyun-seung. Of course, if that happens, it is a situation that our military will welcome, but first, securing a GPS is…”

“No, no one can guarantee that an opportunity like this will come again in the future. And I have an idea too, so don’t worry too much.”

That was confident.

I’m going to offer a reward they can’t refuse now.

Perhaps it was because of his resolute eyes, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff kept his lips closed, unable to speak.

[Anyway, that’s a bit…]

Captain Jeffrey expressed his displeasure.

Michael quickly whispered to Jeffrey, as if concerned that the deal would go wrong.

[Chairman, why don’t you tell the president first and ask the parliament for approval? After all, Mr. Jean is only targeting the F-16 right now, isn’t it?]

Hey.

You just have to whisper there to hear everything.

[But don’t you know that not only Jaewoo but we also have to release some of the source code for armed integration? And what if we allow it, but F16 possessing countries prefer the weapon developed by Jaewoo? How are you going to handle the work behind you then?][But it is not without precedent. And there is no guarantee that Jaewoo will succeed in developing an air-to-air missile.]

Michael glanced into my eyes and said.

I wondered if my self-esteem was hurt.

As he smiled, he scratched his head with a shy expression.

[This friend. Did you forget what you just said?]

Then, Jeffrey protested again.

[Yeah?][Can’t a company with technology enough to develop a shell capable of precision guidance like this develop an air-to-air missile?][··········.][Anyway, that’s out of my control.]

Again, Captain Jeffrey wasn’t easy.

However, the reason I cannot back down is that it is possible to sell weapons that I will develop in the future to other countries that operate F-16s only when armed integration is allowed.

In other words, we are standing at the crossroads of whether or not a market of a scale that is not even comparable to that of smart cannons will open, and at this point, I have to offer a reward that they can be terrified of.

[Instead, we change the terms of the contract.][··········.][Acceptance of Licensed Production. And if you pay the cost, we will transfer the technology completely after two years. However, under the condition that it is impossible for the US to produce it and export it to other countries.]

Michael’s mouth was wide open at the word technology transfer.

However, whether the condition of not being able to export was on his mind, Jeffrey’s expression did not change.

[Specifically, what are you going to transfer?]

As expected, Jeffrey is back.

[For now, we can say that the material technology to overcome the muzzle pressure and the new charge technology that can realize the muzzle speed up to three times the speed of sound are representative. In other words, the skills the U.S. military needs right now.][Hmm······.]

Despite the extreme conditions, Jeffrey still couldn’t break down the wall.

That is why the issue of armed integration is not easy to deal with.

Then, he has no choice but to highlight the greatest benefit they can get, which he is not aware of.

[Would there be no harm to the United States? Putting other things aside, first of all, the demand in the US military is all produced by US military companies, so can’t you calm the dissatisfaction? Moreover, if we utilize the technologies we will provide, we will be able to achieve the dream of the US Navy.][If it’s the US Navy’s dream, what do you mean specifically?][For example, it will be possible to realize the reality of HVP.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

HVP (hyper velocity projectile) refers to a high-speed projectile that can intercept incoming cruise missiles.

In other words, a system that counters anti-ship and air defense with cheap shells.

Actually, it was conceived by the United States at the same time as the conceptual study of the smart cannon, but I remember that it was finally realized around 2018.

After that, our military also succeeded in commercialization.

[How about HVP…?]

As expected, Jeffrey’s eyes widened infinitely.

After all, the field in which the US Navy has just started researching the concept has been randomly mentioned in my mouth, so it’s only natural.

Now, it feels like he has made a clear gap in the iron wall he was wearing.

[When you thought of dealing with missiles with shells, didn’t you think of using them to defend against air?][That’s it…but can a smart cannon really act as an HVP?][Actually, nothing is better than a smart cannon as a projectile for HVP. The problem is the improvement of the detection means and the electromagnetic guidance system, but there is no need to worry about the detection means in the United States, which already has a phased array radar, and if only the electromagnetic guidance system is developed, it will not be too difficult to apply the system.]

Jeffrey swallowed his saliva.

At the same time, Chairman Oh Jung-geun, who had been listening to the conversation the whole time, sneaks in.

“Is it really possible to use smart shells for air defense?”

“For our military, it is difficult right now, and the United States can only do it if it develops an electromagnetic guidance system.”

“Huh…”

Chairman Oh Jung-geun of the Joint Chiefs of Staff showed a complex and subtle expression.

As for what he was thinking, he had been advocating for GPS only, and suddenly he kept his mouth shut and began to listen to the conversation.

[Then, is it possible for Jauthales to develop its derivative system?]

Captain Jeffrey, who looked like he was in deep trouble for a while, asked again.

Eventually he ate the bait.

However, if you affirm it as it is, the result will be that you provide one more Ammon technology.

At this point, you have to step out of the way.

[Under development.][If development is successful, is it possible to transfer technology to the derivative system?][That is difficult. Isn’t the president well aware that it is not just the level of unification of fighters and the technology that can be replaced? Instead, it is possible to provide technology for the ammunition. And if you want, I promise to build the derivative system at a reasonable level.]

President Jeffrey let out a sigh of regret.

However, the reason why his expression is not dark is that it is possible to save tens of billions of dollars in budget for the US Navy if only HVP is established, even if it is not technology transfer.

jump!

Suddenly, he jumped out of his seat and stood up.

Shortly after whispering something with the commander of the USFK, he suddenly picked up the black phone that was on his desk.

[This is Naval Chief of Staff Jeffrey Morgan. Please connect the hotline to the President.]

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
