Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 389

Reporters responded with absurdity.

Pushing the opponent into a redneck was an invincible card in Korea. Just by taking out this card, you can attract supporters and push your opponent into a corner.

It doesn’t matter if the opponent refutes it or if it’s confirmed that he’s not really a redneck. By that time, the essence of the problem is blurred and only the color theory remains.

That’s why everyone likes color theory so much.

If they ask for free meals, they are reds, even if they strike, they are reds, and if they criticize the government, they are reds.

One interesting thing is that there are very few guys who have gone to the military for a guy who likes drip coffee.

Originally, patriotism is not done with the body, but with the mouth, isn’t it?

After a while, a reporter came to his senses and asked a question.

“What is the purpose of receiving the report?”

“Aren’t you thinking about entering the defense industry?”

“Do you have any personal feelings for the Ministry of National Defense?”

Hearing this makes me a little nauseous.

Since I’ve been in the military, there’s no way I’m not feeling personal… … Still, it would be nice to get rid of corruption.

Even ten thousand bamboos that have grown arbitrarily should be cut down.

These words were said by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, which became famous again after being quoted by President Zhang Pinghua. As such, the eradication of corruption cannot be emphasized enough.

It is an old saying that only the economy can be saved even if it is corrupt. Now, integrity is required to enhance national competitiveness. This is why companies can grow in countries such as Switzerland and the Netherlands, where labor costs are high.

I thought it would be an explanatory bug if I said all of them, so I answered as appropriate as I could think of.

“Do you need a reason to beat the redhead?”

[Jinhoo Kang, shocking spies and rednecks!][Choring the generals and lawmakers who are concerned about the weakening of the military power and the morale of the soldiers as rednecks!][absurd color theory][Liberal People’s Party Representative Yeon Na-kyung, hands and feet tremble and tears at Kang Jin-hoo’s last words][As a public figure, careful words and deeds are necessary… … ]

Military groups, such as the Veterans’ Association and the Military Mutual Aid Association, held large-scale demonstrations and battled public opinion.

However, public opinion generally supported Jin-hoo Kang, and the public’s view of the protests was not good.

This is because there was a lot of public outrage over military-related corruption.

– lol If you disagree with what I say, you’re all idiots.

-Actually, advocating for corruption in the military is between spies and gangsters. To receive money and deliver under-performing weapons or to embezzle defense budgets is to weaken our allies’ forces.

-The times are getting better these days, but if it was in the old days, it would have been a gunshot.

-If you don’t know anything else, all those who harm you in the military should be shot~

-What’s wrong? According to former Defense Minister Han Min-gyu, corruption in defense is a livelihood crime.

– To make a living for the shooting stars, only the soldiers are dying.

-But why are you doing this all of a sudden after the earthquake? Isn’t that what he’s doing when he goes to the reserve army?

– Hit and run in the military, and hit and run again in the reserve army. Just don’t be mad

-Are you taking revenge like this for going through a hard time as an active duty soldier?

– Still, I admit that I went to the military.

– Wasn’t it exempted after the earthquake?

– Surprisingly, the sergeant’s full-time discharge. So you went to the reserve army last time too~

-Hehe I think I can buy a PMC and organize an army if I have the money.

The Ministry of National Defense and Defense Acquisition Program Administration put all their efforts into cracking down on insiders.

All scheduled trainings were also suspended, and mental education was provided for all soldiers in the army, navy, air force, and marine corps. blocked

Instead of finding and removing corruption, I thought I would keep my mouth shut. However, these efforts did not have much effect.

Anyway, there is bound to be a limit to the corruption that ordinary soldiers can encounter.

In the midst of this, the remarks made at the gathering of officers by corps commander Jeong Cheol-myeong were made known to the media.

“I will thoroughly search out those who report that they will forget their status as a soldier and take a part in the achievement of one’s self, and I will show you a good time!”

-Hey, how do you show the Jailbreak? Do you even shoot?

-The class of the commander of the corps who said he would catch and kill those who report defense corruption!

-After this, I will organize a Northwest Youth Group in the army~

– Two minutes minimum spy.

– It’s red! A redneck has appeared!

-Why don’t you drive a tank and attack the OTK Company?

-Gazua~ Civil War Gazua~

-Hey! you too!! You can do well in a coup!!!

As the criticism poured in, corps commander Jeong Cheol-myung lowered the tail, saying, “It seems that the intention of the remark was misrepresented.”

When an EPA official complained that ‘fish cannot live in too clear water’ in an interview with the media, a lawmaker belonging to the National Defense Ministry said, ‘It’s not wrong, but at least it’s not something a person who emits pollutants would say.’ was added

* * *

Soldiers in military uniforms were crowded in front of the OTK Company headquarters.

“Apologize for the idiot’s remarks!”

“Communists back down!”

“Guarantee the right to survival of veterans!”

Looking at it, I feel proud because I think that Korea is a country with freedom of assembly and demonstration.

By the way, how long have you been doing this for so long that you are protesting with a flag like this?

Ellie asked.

“Did Jinhoo not see any corruption when he was in the army?”

“I do not know. Too many.”

All in all, wouldn’t a few nights not be enough?

“Tell me one thing.”

I immediately said what came to my mind.

“The HQ Company Administrative Service Officer went to the drivers and ordered them to put diesel in their car.”

Ellie tilted her head.

“Isn’t it embezzlement to use military fuel for private purposes?”

“Yes. It is stealing.”

He even made the soldiers wash the car for a weekend outing. But who would point out or question the custodian of that?

“Our government officials have always said that it is the duty of a soldier to make sacrifices for the country and people, as it is a habit, and we should think about what I can do for the country rather than the state doing something for me. However, there was a time when, in the political circles, there was talk of military pension reform. Then he foamed up and became angry. What did the country do for me, and he said that he was going to cut my pension?”

“Even if the soldiers were to make sacrifices, it seems that they couldn’t do as much as they sacrificed their own pensions.”

“Well, for a person who forces sacrifices on others, no one has the intention of sacrificing himself.”

It’s easy to force others to make sacrifices, but it’s hard for me to make sacrifices.

While we were all talking and looking at the contents of the report, an urgent breaking news appeared on the news.

Ahn Seong-nam, chief of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office, appeared in person at the Seoul Central Prosecutor’s Office. Taek-gyu quickly pretended to know.

“uh! That man is on TV again.”

According to Taek-gyu, there is a bit of a bureaucrat.

Prosecutor Ahn Seong-nam read the announcement in front of the camera.

“The prosecution conducted a search and seizure all at once against 34 defense companies suspected of corruption.”

* * *

The prosecution set up a dedicated team to investigate the defense corruption, and the Ministry of National Defense strongly opposed it, saying it was overpowered.

Defense corruption is a matter for the military prosecutors to take charge of. However, there was no way to stop the investigation as it was only targeting private companies.

The Defense Acquisition Program Administration has the exclusive right to select military supplies and companies, and many companies have been supplying supplies for more than 10 years.

This inevitably creates a strong bond between the company and high-ranking military officials.

Retired generals received huge salaries and worked as advisors for defense companies, or even acted as a broker.

I was punished for corruption, but I changed the company name and delivered again, passed the performance test even though it did not pass the performance test, changed the items that had to be bid for competitive bids to a private contract, changed the specifications to drive them to a specific company, and eliminated other companies, even Three companies were bidding, and it turned out that there was only one actual president of the three companies.

When the prosecution started a full-fledged investigation with the data seized and searched, not only military generals but also lawmakers were caught.

Reporters pointed their microphones at a member of the New Political Party.

“There is a suspicion that the company run by my brother-in-law put pressure on the DAPA to supply field tops, is that true?”

Rep. Choi Man-su shook his head vigorously.

“It’s something I don’t know. I don’t even know what my brother-in-law is doing.”

“There is a transcript of the conversation with the director of the DAPA before the bid, so what happened?

“… … I will not answer any further.”

* * *

Reports kept pouring in, and I paid the reporting fee as promised.

From small things such as clothes and sleeping bags to large fighters and battleships. There are only small thieves and big thieves, and it is true that they are all thieves.

The cases were different. Military corruption, military corruption, embezzlement, bribery, waste of blood, etc.

There were so many materials that it was difficult for us to look at each other. I had no choice but to watch it with the staff. The active duty veterans were all excited even at overtime.

Sangyeop senior stuck his tongue out.

“No, you said you spent 10 trillion won on improving the dormitories of the soldiers. Where did you spend this much money? What barracks did you build with Raemian or Porugio?”

According to the data, even half of that amount was replaced with new barracks. Nevertheless, the Ministry of National Defense said it was short of money and rather requested an additional budget.

“I can’t reveal the budget usage because it’s related to military security, so what does it have to do with security if you build an alternative building and put a bed in?”

According to the whistleblower’s report, there were records of the construction company and the hammock. I took it really hard.

Team leader Seo Sang-won also said something.

“If I had this money, I would have been able to meet the minimum wage for the soldiers.”

A few years ago, defense corruption broke out, and the generals took off their clothes one after another, and even the Chief of the Naval Chief of Staff was arrested.

But nothing has changed since then. This meant that corruption stemmed from structural problems rather than individual faults.

next day.

A guest arrived early. He was the Ministry of Defense policy and public relations officer who had come before.

“I would like to request the production of the game I mentioned earlier.”

“A defense FPS game to encourage enlistment?”

“Yes.”

“As I said before, the budget is more than ten times what it used to be, is that ok?”

He happily nodded his head.

“of course. It is for national security.”

“… … .”

Seven billion won for such nonsense. Seriously, considering the amount of money I’ve wasted all this time, this amount of money would be just a joke.

Just by looking at his eyes and facial expressions, he could tell what he was thinking. We want to prevent a situation where corruption is exposed by entrusting us with military service.

Taehyung asked openly.

“Isn’t this like a bribe not to disclose the reported corruption?”

Then he shook his head and hands at the same time.

“Oh, no. Could it be? I’m saying this because I think OTK Games is the best fit for this project.”

“Then can I just peel it all off?”

“It’s a bit… … .”

Hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously.

“If you need more production cost, we will do a little more review on our side.”

“… … .”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

There is no way that money that did not exist suddenly arises.

As much as we spend tens of billions on games, we cut our budget for other things. In the end, the damage goes to the soldiers.

Taehyung groaned.

“get out!”

When OTK Company summarized and announced the cases of corruption reported, the media around the world paid attention.

The conservative media, who had always been at odds with Kang Jin-hoo, also focused on this. To that extent, liberals and conservatives condemned military corruption with one voice.

– Do you have any ideas or not?

– This is the reality of those who say that the North Korean threat is blatantly and security is blatantly.

-The soldiers said they didn’t know when a war might break out, and the soldiers were stingy with their taxes.

– Now it seems like we’re going to catch the whistleblower and show him the time.

-Defense corruption is an act of transfer! This time, we need to set the military discipline upright by shooting all the caught chicks!

Some of the generals who were accused of corruption either took a leave of absence or fled abroad under the pretext of education.

As public opinion swelled, the military prosecutors began an investigation with their backs pushed, and Defense Minister Bae Yeon-bong bowed his head deeply in front of the people.

“As the Minister of National Defense in charge of the security of the Republic of Korea, I am feeling a deep sense of responsibility and reflection in relation to various corruption cases in the military that have recently been revealed. On this occasion, the military promises to eradicate corruption through thorough reform and to be reborn as the people’s army and a strong army.”

* * *

President Huh Chang-min ordered a major military reform, and as part of that, he decided to change the purchase of general items except weapons and special equipment to the Public Procurement Service rather than the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

This weakened the authority of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration and was difficult for the Ministry of National Defense to accept.

However, there was nothing to say as the defense corruption that had been moderately passed over and over again, and public opinion about the military was going to the worst.

Along with the fight against corruption and corruption in the military, the issue of improving the treatment of soldiers was also discussed.

Korea is a country with a minimum wage system. No one should be allowed to work for less than the amount set by the state. Therefore, both the government and private companies have established a wage system to ensure that they do not pay below the minimum wage.

However, there is one group with only one exception: the military.

Soldiers were forced to work for less than half of the minimum wage while living in a 24-hour unit.

When a constitutional complaint was filed on this issue, a nonsensical answer came back saying that there is no need to pay the minimum wage since the military provides lodging and lodging.

This issue has been controversial several times over the years.

The Ministry of National Defense acknowledged that the salaries of soldiers should be at least equal to the minimum wage, but raised the practical problem of a lack of budget.

However, it turned out that the money leaked from this incident alone exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars. The argument that the wages of soldiers could be raised even if the money was properly saved gained strength.
