Chapter 32

“Tell me.”

“If I start developing ballistic missiles, won’t the government save money to import Iskander’s technology from Russia?”

“right.”

“If you do, how about moving that part to another item?”

As soon as the words were finished, various expressions were made here and there.



From the look of doubting the intention of my question, to the expression that seems quite plausible.

Fortunately, the defense minister’s expression was not so bad.

“Is there anything else you are greedy for?”

“There are a lot of things I am passionate about. Still, if I had to choose one, the KA-50 made by Kamov would be more suitable.”

The KA-50 is a large attack helicopter built by Russia to counter Apache.

The important point here is that it surpasses Apache in terms of mobility.

It’s all because of the enormous power of the engine and the unique doctrine of the double reversing rotor.

In fact, in the case of the KA-32, which adopted the double reversing rotor, it was converted into a fire-fighting helicopter in Korea before I returned and was used, and there was a time when it was praised by the officials for successfully extinguishing a forest fire while withstanding a strong crosswind.

“Black Shark?”

“Yes, the official name is Cernaya Akula.”

Of course, Black Shark isn’t all that great.

No, in terms of ground operational capabilities, it is not even comparable to Apache.

In addition, the durability of the parts is also different from those in the Western world.

“Whatever the name is, why do we need it?”

Nevertheless, the reason why I want a Black Shark is because of its mobility.

Due to the double reversing rotor, it does not require a tail rotor, and thanks to its excellent maneuverability, it can withstand any kind of bad weather without being shaken.

Anyway, Apache’s ground operational capability is mostly the result of radar performance and weapon system, which is already feasible enough for me and the materials of parts are already available.

If only the double reversing rotor technology and powerful engine technology were there, the strongest attack helicopter could be born.

“Of course, in order to secure an effective deterrent against North Korea’s land power. To be honest, the Minister is fully aware of how outdated it is to deal only with tanks.”

In fact, it was an issue that had to be addressed at least once.

Power biased toward the Army over the Air Force and Navy.

For this reason, our military, which has nearly a thousand tanks and self-propelled artillery, ranks among the few in the world in terms of land power.

“Hmmmm, what is that…”

Of course, that’s not to say it’s wrong.

The real threat to us in this day and age is North Korea.

It just happened because I was building a strategy to respond to it.

However, due to such an excessive concentration of forces, the response to the changing international situation was delayed, and the rise of other forces was also far behind.

“Anyway, Executive Vice President Jin Hyun-seung, are you saying that our military should also have a large attack helicopter?”

“That’s right. Even if there are dozens of attack helicopters floating around, the North Korean tanks wouldn’t even think of pushing them down, but wouldn’t it be a waste of an excessive budget to use a strategy to block them with tanks? We want to take this opportunity to change that constitution a bit.”

“Hmm······.”

The defense minister glanced at the lieutenant general who was beside him.

The first person I see.

As if he didn’t like my argument, he had a hardened expression on his face the whole time, and he opened his mouth with a sarcastic attitude.

“Ultimately, we are going to introduce the Black Shark as an attack helicopter for our military, but right now, what should we do with something that does not fit our combat system?”

“The combat system is not completely incompatible. Well, there seems to be some misunderstanding aside from that, but I don’t mean to introduce Black Shark as it is, but to buy core technologies and develop it on our own.”

“What nonsense! Do you want Russia to agree to a technology transfer that is not an export?”

“It will not be easy. But it is possible only if the return is certain.”

“What kind of reward do we have to offer them?”

The hall was agitated by the continuous debate between me and the general.

Maybe he thought the atmosphere was overheating, but just when the defense minister stepped in and calmed the boiling atmosphere.

“Come on, calm down your excitement. In the end, Jin Hyun-seung, the executive director, said it all for the sake of our military’s development. And to be honest, I’m just grateful that I’m having such troubles. If it wasn’t for the brown bear business, where would such an argument have been made?”

I admit that too.

That the brown bear business brought us great profits.

For example, in the case of the electromagnetic interference blocking technology between parts of radar, it became the basis and had a huge impact on our future radar development.

Of course, that part will fade because of me now.

Aside from that, it is true that the brown bear business has given us a huge opportunity for technological development.

“I do this. First of all, the agenda is to discuss it again after the President’s final approval for the ballistic missile development project. So let’s end this today.”

The defense minister took control of the situation again.

After all, it’s unreasonable to decide on such an important issue in a day or two.

For me, I’m satisfied with just letting them know that there is another way.

“You suffered.”

After a brief greeting with them, I left the building following the guidance of the NIS agents.

After that, I tried to get into the car right away, but for some reason, the agent came up to me again and asked me to wait, and a little later, the head of the NIS with a recalled expression appeared again.

“Executive Manager Jin Hyun-seung Haven’t you eaten yet? The food in the cafeteria here is pretty good, would you like to have a drink together?”

“·················ogue.”

******

“Your aunt is very good at it.”

The director’s statement that the canteen of the NIS is quite high was not a lie.

Did you know that the taste of food depends on the liver?

Of course, kimchi and soup. And I think that the various side dishes will satisfy even those with a rather picky taste.

“I’m usually not good at talking nonsense.”

The head of the NIS responded with a friendly smile and put down the spoon.

His plate was empty.

After rinsing his mouth with water for a moment, he began to stare at me, who was still playing with my chopsticks.

“Why do you see it that way?”

“Ah! Sorry. I thought he had some great distribution and ability at such a young age.”

“·················ogue.”

“By the way, is there only one secretarial bodyguard?”

“That’s right.”

“That is troublesome. He is the one who will be in charge of the military’s secret business in the future… If it’s okay with you, I hope that we will continue to have our agents resident around Jin Hyun-seung from now on, but what do you think?”

“·················ogue.”

“Don’t get me wrong. This is not for surveillance, but for protection.”

Actually, I’ve been thinking about that since the very beginning.

Because of that, I was also preparing to promote the replenishment of bodyguards through the two assistants.

But is the NIS in charge of my bodyguard?

Ttt, who do you know as a fool?

Even though it’s not, it’s actually closer to surveillance.

Whether it was a surveillance or a bodyguard, it is not a matter of concern to me.

“I do that.”

“Thank you for your understanding. Then, knowing that it is allowed, we will proceed. Oh, and the question of acquiring attack helicopter technology, which Jin Hyun-seung suggested to Defense Minister a while ago.”

widely!

With that said, he put the spoon down.

Perhaps it was a mistake, the director of the National Intelligence Service urged him to eat again, but now the rice is not the problem.

“Just tell me.”

“Actually, after leaving the room, the Minister of Defense and I have already reported the matter to the upper level. And I got an opinion.”

“which······.”

“It was like asking Hyunseung Jin to participate in the second brown bear project as a kind of strategic advisor.”

“·················ogue.”

This was an entirely unexpected development.

I was just trying to get one more business right.

All of a sudden, an advisor to some state-led project?

No, aside from that, I can’t even imagine what I can do on the spot.

“Specifically, what do you want me to do?”

“Well, if I had to give an example, it would be a deal with the Russian government or the military. To put it bluntly, the issue of introducing Black Shark technology, which Jin Hyun-seung advocated, is included in the second brown bear project… Actually, I’m talking about it now, but Russia has been wanting to sell Black Shark to us for a long time.”

“But I definitely don’t want to import finished products, but technology…”

“Yeah, that’s why it’s a problem, if you want to carry out the claims of Senior Vice President Jin Hyun-seung, you need someone to negotiate with the Russian government.”

huh.

what is this again

Tell me to deal directly with the Russian government now?

“Why do you want to entrust that to me? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already full of negotiating experts.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be absurd for the NIS to engage in the brown bear project? In other words, this project is diplomatically sensitive, so it is difficult to access it through official diplomatic routes.”

That was the understandable part.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moves directly, it becomes an official matter.

Moreover, it will be even more difficult for us to openly engage in military exchanges with places that were once an enemy to them in the field the US is watching.

Then what is it in the end

Are you telling me to act as an emissary now?

“Do you believe me?”

“If you’re talking about trust in ability, yes.”

He answered without hesitation.

my past. No, there’s no way he doesn’t know Hyunseung’s past.

Still, that attitude meant that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

“So what do I get?”

asked bluntly.

If there is something going on in the end, it is natural that something must come.

But, as expected, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“If the negotiations are successful, then Jauthales and ADD will jointly take over Korea’s attack helicopter business rights.”

Although it was a tempting offer, there was a hidden trap.

joint development, not alone.

In such a situation, it seems that security is not simply a problem, but now I can roughly understand their intentions.

maintenance of ADD.

To be precise, in addition to improving their skill level, it must be to maintain the reason for their existence.

“If it is not an independent development, I will reject it.”

But I have no reason to listen to it.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Handing over one business to the private sector doesn’t mean that the reason for ADD’s existence disappears, and ADD has a lot of work to do in the future, so there is no reason to get involved in a dispute over the reason for its existence.

“Hmm······.”

The director of the National Intelligence Service showed an embarrassing light as he did not expect the rejection.

Even if you don’t say anything, I understand how you feel.

It can be said that greed to take the helicopter business even after monopolizing the right to develop ballistic missiles is too greedy.

But what to do?

Other than that, if the developer is dualized, the birth of the result will be delayed.

“Wait.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service asked for permission and left.

As soon as he tried to talk to someone not far away, he glanced at me.

“Yes, first of all, the attack helicopter development project is also insisting on independent development.”

The attitude was very polite.

For a moment, the thought that ran through my head was that there was someone who could show such a respectful attitude as someone who would be the head of the NIS.

“surely······.”

Just as my eyes widened in surprise at the figure that popped into my head, suddenly words came out of the head of the National Intelligence Service that convinced me of my expectations.

“Yes, if the president decides to do that, the defense minister will follow. No, you do not have to worry about the backlash of other companies. After all, these businesses cannot be revealed externally, so it is not something they can deal with. Yes, I will proceed with the approval of that.”

“·················ogue.”

After the short call, the head of the National Intelligence Service immediately looked at me.

Soon after, he pulled out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and scribbled something on the back.

“A week later, Russian Defense Minister Mikhail Yegochev, who is on a tour of Syria, will arrive at Gimpo Airport. At that time, he decided to finalize the specific issues for the second brown bear project, so Vice President Jin Hyun-seung will also be present.”

“Are you saying that you will comply with my request?”

“Did you hear me on the phone? You don’t have to worry about that, as the superiors have already made the decision.”

If it hadn’t been for the National Intelligence Service, there would have been cheers.

From ballistic missile development rights to attack helicopter business rights.

This is a situation where you can catch two rabbits at once if hopefully.

“Then, of course, I have to accept the NIS proposal.”

Of course, the process will not be smooth.

First of all, you must successfully complete the negotiations to be able to say that you have truly acquired the rabbit.

But I didn’t even think about the failure of the negotiations in the first place.

As it turns out, a transaction is easily accomplished when both parties are satisfied with it, and I have something that the other party is definitely satisfied with.

“Then we will wait for the good news.”

“Yes, I do my best not to disappoint.”
