Chapter 31

“What is the Minister doing here…”

Even if he pretended to know, I wondered if he would remember me.

The only relationship I had with him was talking to her at a party at Gyeryongdae a while ago.

But fortunately, as soon as he saw me, he revealed his expression and he immediately grabbed his hand.

“I did not know that I would meet Director Jin Hyun-seung again in a place like this. Well, I guess I should call him the managing director, not the chief.”

“I did not know that the news had already reached the Minister.”

“The Chief of the National Intelligence Service said so. Come on, don’t stand and do this, sit down and have a conversation.”

The defense minister then led the conversation for a while.

From the international situation I was familiar with, to the trend north of the Armistice Line.

Who is the real person in charge of the alternative brown bear project? Just as I was about to start thinking about it, the Minister of Defense suddenly spoke to me.

“Did you get the core technology of the Iskander missile from Jauthales?”

“That’s right. We have not just acquired it, we are working on an improved version.”

At those words, the expressions of the people in the hall changed.

should i believe this

or how it is possible.

After a long silence as if it was difficult to step forward, the chief of the National Intelligence Service finally spoke up first.

“According to the message of Deputy Director Lim Hyo-sik, it was possible to develop it right away, is there any reliable evidence for us?”

Whoops.

As soon as the words fell, he pulled out the films containing the data from his arms and showed them.

After that, he asked for forgiveness and projected it through a projector on the other side of the room.

“There is no fear that the technology will be leaked just because you see this, but I will say something from an old woman. Everything you see here, you have to erase from your memory after you leave.”

“Yes, of course.”

gulp!

At the same time as the NIS chief answered, the sound of someone swallowing saliva was heard.

A person who looks quite old.

For a moment, I felt like I was a character I had seen a lot somewhere.

Soon his identity flashed into his mind.

Jiyong Kwak, the current ADD director.

Even when I first entered ADD, I was in charge of the directorship, and to me, after Professor Myung Seung-eun, he was a mentor.

“As you can see······.”

After leaving the pleasure behind, he continued to explain.

From the detailed design of the propellant, which is the core of a ballistic missile, to the internal design of the warhead and the configuration of precision parts.

As the explanation continued, Director Kwak Ji-yong’s face became colored with excitement, and the others, who had only looked at his expression the whole time, began to brighten their eyes.

“But the shape is a little different from Iskander.”

While listening to the explanation, Director Kwak Ji-yong spat out a question.

As soon as he saw that the eyes of the people in the hall turned to me at once, he immediately expressed the intention of my question to the public.

“In terms of the technique of using multiple trajectories and other aspects, it seems that Iskander’s technique was right, but it’s because the shape is different. In fact, there are cases in which missiles may not be able to show their performance even if there is a slight change in shape.”

It wasn’t wrong.

However, that was when there was no self-improvement, and we redesigned Iskander based on more advanced technology in the past or in the future to create an unappreciated thing called Hyunmoo 4.

In other words, I am presenting the appearance of Hyunmoo 4, not Hyunmoo 2A.

“This is an attempt by Jaewoo to redesign based on Iskander. It is natural for Hani to change its shape.”

“Why? Was there any reason to redesign it?”

“First of all, it is to secure additional range. The current level that the military wants is 500 kilometers, but everyone will admit that the range needs to be increased in the future, right?”

At that, the Minister of Defense implicitly nodded his head.

“For this reason, it was essential not only to secure space for the propellant to be additionally installed, but also to redesign the shape to adapt to the increasing weight change of the warhead.”

“·················ogue.”

“There is another reason. If the shape is identical to Iskander, will the Russian government stand still? As you may know, we did not acquire this technology through official diplomatic routes. If something with the same appearance comes out in the yard, of course, the Russian government will protest.”

“So is he.”

Director Kwak Ji-yong belatedly accepted my argument.

And after looking at the blueprint of the propellant that appeared on the screen for a while, he seemed to have realized something belatedly! looked like that.

“That was the reason why the trajectory could be changed in the middle.”

“That’s right. It is a technology that obtains propulsion sequentially by designing multiple bulkhead structures containing solid fuel.”

“Haha, now I know. Jin Hyun-seung’s claim that the development of ballistic missiles will not be easy no matter how much we bring in the actual ICBMs. Aside from the design of the propellant, if the structure for storing the solid fuel is such a bulkhead structure, it is certainly impossible to develop it without material technology.”

“It’s not just that. Composite materials that can withstand heat when re-entering the atmosphere and gyros that require high precision cannot be developed just by tearing them apart.”

People then nodded their heads.

With this, the proof is over.

After collecting the materials again and sitting down, the defense minister spoke softly.

“Is it true that Jaewoo also has that material technology?”



“That’s right.”

The defense minister’s eyebrows twitched for a moment at the firm answer.

Where is that? From the director of the National Intelligence Service to the director of ADD Kwak Ji-yong.

It was, again, the Minister of Defense who broke the brief silence.

“How long do you think the development period will take?”

“In general, the development period for ballistic missiles is at least 10 years. However, if there is technology transfer, it is possible to create a real product within two years.”

“2 years?”

“No surprise. In the second year, we are talking about when we entered the materialization stage after technology transfer, and in Jaewoo, which is already undergoing improvement, it is possible to produce a real object within 6 months of about 500km.”

“Then how long do you think it will take 800 kilometers?”

Why didn’t the question come up?

In the first place, what the military is greedy for is not only North Korea, but also an object with a range that will pose a threat to China and Japan.

Although it is not possible to reveal it to the world right now, tied to the range limit guidelines, I would have wanted to secure some deterrence in case of an emergency.

“To be honest, development is possible right now.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, but there are some issues that need to be addressed. First of all, take GPS as an example.”

“GPS has not already been licensed for sale in the United States. When equipped with an American military receiver…”

“The US military’s GPS chip. In other words, mounting the M-Chip is not a wise choice. Leaving everything else aside, the US is likely to use that as an excuse to request information on missiles. If that happens, the value of the strategic missile will disappear. What’s more, there could be situations where the US blocks the signal in an emergency.”

“Hmm······.”

The defense minister let out a belated sigh.

There’s no law that says something like that shouldn’t happen.

In fact, this is the reason why the nearby Japan has its own GPS satellites, and it is difficult for us to overlook that.

“But that doesn’t mean we can’t launch dozens of satellites right now.”

The defense minister, who had been spitting out words, looked at me with a hint.

Somehow, you look like you have a way.

Of course I have a way.

“If I have to offer an alternative, there is a way to install a Russian GPS. They have no obligation to provide information.”

“The GLONASS?”

The defense minister’s eyes widened for a moment.

However, that didn’t mean it was negative, it was probably meant to infer feasibility.

“Yes, it is probably not impossible.”

Of course, it wasn’t impossible.

Already historically, the Hyunmoo series escaped the influence of the United States by solving the GPS problem in that way.

“Attach the Russian GPS…”

The defense minister, who had been muttering for a while, looked at me.

“Could you give us some time to discuss with each other?”

Soon after, they asked me to leave my room, and after a long time, they called me back into my room.

“In a little while, I will report to the President on the whole process of today’s meeting.”

“·················ogue.”

“If the president hears about this, he will probably stick to self-development. If that happens, are you willing to jointly develop with ADD?”

I understood the reason for letting me go later.

Well, if I take away the development rights here, as an ADD, I become a dog chasing chickens.

But that cannot be allowed.

Horses are joint development, and if I’m going to provide most of the technology, would that be more than a spoonful?

“It is impossible. It’s the same as exposing the technologies we’ve been hard at work redesigning to the outside world. Besides, isn’t ADD already developing cruise missiles? Wouldn’t that just be distracting for a while?”

The defense minister showed a sullen expression on his face.

Maybe it was because of my resolute expression on my face, but after a while, he finally nodded his head.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“If this is true, then there is nothing you can do about it. Let’s make a report and let Jaewoo take over the business once the president’s approval is gone.”

“Minister. But that big business was so easy…”

One of the military officials of the Ministry of National Defense, who was listening, immediately refuted the statement.

Then the minister shook his head and turned towards him and spit out a sound of rebuke.

“Then, are you going to do an open bidding for this top-secret project?”

“No, I’m talking about security issues, not noise about private contracts. Isn’t that the fundamental reason why we wanted to do business through ADD?”

“Don’t worry about that part. Can’t we just monitor the whole development process ourselves?”

I immediately interrupted their conversation.

For a moment, people’s eyes turned to me at once.

“Anyway, the development of major parts and technologies will be conducted in my lab, not Thales. So, if the military thoroughly manages the security of my research institute, there will be no problem, right?”

“·················ogue.”

“The eyes of neighboring countries that are critically monitoring us are easy to focus on ADD. No matter what anyone says, ADD is the mecca of military technology in this country. In that sense, would my lab be more suitable to avoid gaze?”

“Hmm······.”

The eyes of the Ministry of National Defense staff, who had previously advocated dissenting opinions, lit up at those words.

A little later, after exchanging glances with the minister for a while, he nodded his head, and soon the words I had been waiting for came out of the minister’s mouth.

“From a security standpoint, that statement certainly makes sense. All right, let’s report it first.”

Suddenly, strength entered his hands.

If you’re not excited about getting your hands on a business that will bring you huge profits, then that’s weird.

The development cost alone is at least 1 trillion won.

When mass production starts, we will have at least 1,000 units, so the profit will be about 1 trillion won.

To put it simply, with that one word, our Jaewoo secured more than 2 trillion won in profit.

“If it’s not rude, I have one more suggestion for you, including the Minister.”

But I just couldn’t be satisfied with that.

The brown bear business is the best opportunity to absorb Russia’s military technology.

In particular, it is a unique opportunity to acquire skills in some areas that data chips do not have, so I cannot afford to miss it.

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-32
