Chapter 52

If it was the next fighter business of this period, it meant the introduction of the F-15K.

Instead of that, let’s develop our own fighter?

Even though it was me who spoke up first, when it came to reality, I was somewhat embarrassed.

“Why did you suddenly think of that?”

“What I felt on this tour was that if the defense field continued to be dragged around by the United States, there would be no end.

It wasn’t wrong.

Of course, it is true that we have military power that others cannot easily surpass by introducing weapons developed by the United States, but where did that happen for free?

Moreover, it is true that it is a pity that we are not able to speak out loud even after spending a lot of money every time.

“In addition, the F-15, which is being considered for introduction, is also said to have an operating cost of tens of thousands of dollars per hour, but in the case of in-house development, it would not be that much.”

“In-house development is beneficial in terms of operating costs. In addition, it is possible to respond immediately to component failures, thereby preventing a drop in the operating rate. But, are you really determined?”

“For now, I think so, but is it possible?”

It’s not impossible.

It is around 2002 that Korea selects the model for the next fighter jet business. And the prototype was introduced in 2005.

In other words, the time period of 7 years is given, but in the end, it is only necessary to avoid the risk of a power vacuum by setting that time.

“Available.”

Moreover, we are in a situation where we start the business with the basics laid down.

Soon, Sukhoi’s technology and operational know-how accumulated over decades will be secured entirely.

In addition, through this transaction, complete engine manufacturing technology was secured.

The data obtained from the maintenance and operation of fighter jets until 2024, as well as the experiences gained during the development of KFX, are not to be ignored.

In other words, it is possible to sufficiently deal with any errors.

Therefore, once the engine is completed, it is not unreasonable to skip unnecessary processes and produce a technology demonstrator immediately. If that is the case, then there is enough time to catch operational errors that may occur later.

“By the way, if we develop our own, I think it will be at a certain level compared to the F-15. The Air Force would most likely want that level of explosive load and operational capability.”

“Once we are in a situation where we are going through an upgrade based on Sukhoi’s engine, the engine’s power will surpass that of the F-15. So, you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“is that so?”

“There, the radar is capable of not only avoiding enemy jamming but also counter-jamming. To put it simply, it is virtually incomparable to the F-15.”

“·················ogue.”

“If you want to add another factor, the engine we will develop has excellent power generation capacity.”

“What does that mean?”

“It is said that depending on whether the software is improved or not, it is possible to have partial electronic warfare capability through radar. In that case, no country other than the United States will outperform our ability to secure air superiority.”

“·················ogue.”

The president exhaled more deeply than usual.

It probably doesn’t feel real.

But that’s not all I want to say.

“If the business is successful, there is another benefit.”

“·················ogue.”

“The upgrade of the KF-16 is possible. If the developed AESA and weapon system are transplanted to the KF-16, it will be a completely different aircraft.”

“But isn’t that impossible if Nokid refuses?”

“of course. But I don’t think they would deny the F-16 a chance to revive either. Fortunately, our relationship with Jaewoo and Nokid has loosened up to some extent this time, so if we want to, cooperation will be possible in the future.”

“Hmm… we’ll discuss that part again later, and for now, I understand.”

After saying these words, the president stood up from his seat.

As if to take a break, he headed to the door behind him, paused for a moment, and then turned back.

“Indeed, it will be stipulated as soon as he returns that Jaewoo will be in charge of developing MRBMs in the future. However, as it is a confidential business, you know that we will not make any public announcements, right?”

“of course.”

Suddenly, the president’s voice was split.

No more conversations.

Concerned about the long flight, the chief of staff glanced at me, and I quickly returned to my seat after a short greeting.

“Executive Director Jin!”

I thought I could take a break now, so the director of the NIS called my name again.

The moment I pretended to be asleep because I didn’t have the strength to respond, he shook my shoulder strongly.

“Have you turned off your phone?”

“Yes, I think we will be leaving soon. Is there anything going on?”

“Call the house right now. I just received a call that Chairman Jin Hyun-pil passed away.”

“·················ogue.”

******

“Have you just been discharged? What does that mean?”

Secretary Kim, who came to pick me up at the airport, gave me some bizarre news.

“It is a message from the secretary’s office that he felt uncomfortable in his movement due to temporary vertigo rather than collapse. So, after a while in the hospital, he was discharged.”

“Are you sure there is nothing wrong with it?”

“that······.”

Secretary Kim gave him a look of disbelief.

“Actually, I asked my doctor through my doctor, but I couldn’t find out any more because I couldn’t divulge personal medical records. What’s more, the president even gave the Hamgu decree.”

“What do you say in the president’s secretary’s office?”

“Recently, there has been no information at all. It seems that the president himself is cracking down on it.”

There’s definitely something to it.

A meaningful word came out of Secretary Kim’s mouth as she was about to wave her hand at Secretary Yang to run to her hometown at any moment.

“However, the group’s legal team is acting strangely.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It is said that during a few days while he was in the United States, the legal team discussed the tax issue that would arise if he inherited the entire stake of the chairman.”

“Inheriting the chairman’s shares. To whom?”

“From what I have heard, the entire inheritance will be from the managing director.”

“·················ogue.”

If that was the case, further understanding of the situation would be meaningless.

Somehow, I had an ominous feeling the whole time.

As I was about to get into the car in urgency, my cell phone in my pocket suddenly spit out a loud noise.

“I was just about to call.”

The person who called was Jin Hyeon-cheol.

He must have been in a hurry too.

But what else is this?

His voice was just so calming.

-I’m sorry, but I’d like you to talk to me first before visiting your father.

“·················ogue.”

******

“What happened?”

The place where he met Jin Hyun-cheol was at his home in Gangnam.

It’s already 11pm.

But he was still in a suit, and on the table was a teapot of steaming steam.

“I’m here?”

The way he greeted me was very different from usual.

I mean, do you feel like you’ve been completely drained of poison?

It doesn’t seem like it’s simply because of the narrowed location, and he seems to be in despair because of a big personal problem.

“Would you like some tea?”

As he sat down, he held out a cup of tea.

He filled the flower tea full of fragrance and looked at me without saying a word for a while.

“I don’t think this is the case now.”

“No, this is the case. You and I have some work to do before we can see you.”

He drank the teacup with a brief excuse.

Soon he tilted his head and spoke again with a mischievous smile.

“By the way, I haven’t had a cup of tea with you alone. No, I haven’t had a drink, let alone tea. I’m sorry, I couldn’t get a place for a mediocre place because I became an older brother.”

“·················ogue.”

The atmosphere that I was hardly used to was awkward, so I slowly drank tea.

As if from fatigue, the feeling of hot tea running down the inside makes my whole body tired.

“Do you remember that day?”

“·················ogue.”

“The day you first got into an accident and went to the police station.”

“Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?”

She said nonchalantly and brought the glass to her lips again.

As soon as he emptied it at once, he hinted.

“I’m really sorry for what I said then.”

“·················ogue.”

“It was something I shouldn’t have put in my mouth.”


“·················ogue.”

“Well, if I had to apologize to you, where would one or two of those things be? That was the first thing that came to my mind.”

“Have you ever had a drink by yourself before coming out?”

“No, let alone alcohol, this tea is all I ate all day. And I’m sorry, but I still have a lot to apologize for, so I want you to listen to the end.”

“·················ogue.”

Silenced at those words.

No matter how you look at it, he didn’t look like he was really drunk.

As I looked at him, his words continued again.

“I’m also sorry about the motorshichi thing. If it wasn’t for me, the group wouldn’t have suffered so much…”

“Strictly speaking, the problem is not my brother’s fault. So, there is nothing to apologize for.”

“·················ogue.”

Jin Hyeon-cheol’s eyes fluttered at those words.

What he was thinking, hesitating for a long time, he bowed his head.

“thank you for understanding. If so, can I ask you just one thing?”

“·················ogue.”

“I want you to convince your father.”

“It’s persuasive. What do you mean?”

“Please don’t even think about giving up your life.”



For a moment, I felt that things were going a little strange.

“Please tell me in detail.”

“You must have heard the news, didn’t you? That my father is preparing the inheritance now.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that the legal team is in the process of handing over all the shares to me.”

“Okay, that’s why, I have no intention of opposing the fact that the group now revolves around you. The only thing I want is to save my father.”

“What… are you saying something cool? What the hell is going on?”

I called back with a frustrated heart.



Then he gave me a determined look, and then he looked straight at me.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“My father now has a problem with the kidney he had received before. So if you don’t get a re-transplant as soon as possible, you’re refusing it even though it’s a situation that could really put your life in jeopardy.”

“Re-transplantation, when did you say you had a kidney transplant?”

I was embarrassed because it was something I didn’t remember.

He continued talking as if it was only natural for me to not know.

“It was probably around the time you were in high school when you first left your mother and came to your hometown, right? By that time, my father had already had a kidney transplant.”

“·················ogue.”

“I’m sorry for telling you now. But I had no choice but to do it because of my father’s request at the time not to tell you about it.”

“Anyway, so. If you need a re-transplant, of course you should. Why are you giving up?”

“The problem is that in the case of re-transplantation, the risk is high. The safest way is for the family to donate directly this time, and no matter how much I donate, my father vehemently refuses to do so. I’m begging you, can’t you persuade me together?”

For a moment, I felt like I had been hit in the head with a blunt weapon.

No matter how easy it is to donate a kidney, even a child.

As he closed his eyes in embarrassment, he spoke again.

“I’m afraid I might be misunderstood, but I’m going to do the donation so you don’t have to worry.”

“Are you saying that now?”

“·················ogue.”

He smiled bitterly.

Soon after, he refilled the teacup and brought out words that did not fit the situation.

“Again, I have no intention of revolting against you leading the group. So, I hope there is no misunderstanding about that.”

In an instant, I felt my mouth swell.

As the tea was about to lift the teacup, another unexpected story was heard.

“Perhaps you have been quite embarrassed too. After all, in the yard where you and I were in the same situation, only you received cold eyes.”

“What else is that…….”

As I was about to respond, my mouth suddenly shut.

As soon as he looked at him with hopeful eyes, he smiled faintly.

“That’s right, I didn’t even mix a drop of blood with my current mother. That is to say, you are an out-of-married child.”

“·················ogue.”

“Honestly, I didn’t want to believe it at first either. It was only after I had grown my head that I found out about it. It could be an excuse, but maybe that’s why I treated you more harshly…”

“Wake up.”

Whoops.

He cut off his words and got up.

As soon as I pointed his tongue at him, who was looking at me, he stood up with a shy expression on his face.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go to convince you. Why, then, are you going to just let me die like this?”

“·················ogue.”
