Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 198

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff rolled his eyes at those words.

As if how did he know that.

Without saying anything, he shook his head and spoke again.

“Chairman Jin is well aware that we are in a position that we cannot just reject, right?”

“It would be. We also have a lot of debt in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, it is true that the burden is not too great because it is moving troops stationed in Iraq anyway. But, what does that have to do with me, so why did you call me in such a hurry?”

“Ah! That’s… Actually, the reason for requesting Chairman Jin’s participation in the meeting is different. The president will tell you about that part a little later.”

My eyes naturally turned to the President.

The president, who had been making a rather serious expression for a while, smiled faintly when his eyes met.

“Let’s have some time for the two of us later on that part.”

“·················ogue.”

“Anyway, our government intends to respond to the requests of the United States and Saudi Arabia first. The problem is that in that case, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of terrorist attempts from groups such as One God and the Temple.”

The president was determined to solve urgent problems first.

Come to think of it, the issue was also not common, so I remained silent, and it was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who actually spoke.

“I get it too, but I don’t think there’s any need to worry too much.”

“No need to worry.”

The president tilted his head and looked at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“There is not much we can do in a country where security is secure, like ours. Besides, the threat of terrorism has been there since the deployment to Iraq. I don’t think there’s any need to worry so much if Immigration control is more thorough.”

“Isn’t there something that needs to be prioritized over that?”

After listening to the conversation for a while, I sneakily intervened in that passage.

For a moment, all eyes turned to me, and I continued speaking with a shy expression.

“It’s about monitoring and supervising Arab people who are already in Korea. We can’t be sure that none of them have anything to do with the group in question.”

“It makes sense, but the method is the problem. Also, the current size of the security forces is not enough to handle it. Fortunately, we are very strict when it comes to managing explosives.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff implicitly expressed his opinion.

It’s not exactly wrong, but the problem is that it’s not as easy as it is in the world.

“Terrorism does not necessarily involve the use of explosives using gunpowder.”

“·················ogue.”

“It means that in this country, there are a lot of chemicals that can be converted into homemade explosives if they want to. Moreover, terrorist groups in the Middle East are nimble in that area.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, those drugs are managed in their own way by the relevant ministries. However, it is unclear whether the level of management will be as thorough as we would expect.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff nodded his head in agreement.

Soon, his gaze passed through me and turned to the president again, and the president, who had just clenched his chin and was lost in thought, spoke out in a low voice.

“In the end, it means that more strict supervision is needed. If we do, we will mobilize all our administrative power for the time being and instruct them to thoroughly manage hazardous substances.”

That way, the risk will be much lower.

Well, it’s only the related companies that will complain about excessive interference, but it’s better than having an accident happen. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

To be honest, since our country has never been subjected to a terrorist attack, it is impossible to know how public opinion will flow if an accident occurs.

Wouldn’t it be better to prevent something that can be prevented in advance?

“Yes, I have an offer from Crown Prince Hasad.”

While I was deep in my thoughts for a moment, the president said to me.

suggestion.

It was an unusual word, so I immediately asked.

“It’s a proposal.”

The president smiled, not answering the question.

It’s like the eyes of a father enjoying his child’s reaction while hiding something behind his back.

The words that were soon spit out were slightly out of context.

“It seems that Crown Prince Hasad is quite concerned. While we are demanding the presence of our troops, we are concerned about the excessive sacrifice of our troops.”

“·················ogue.”

“Well, that means that he is also concerned about the mood of public opinion in our country.”

“I will. If the casualties that were not so great even in Iraq occur in Saudi Arabia, our public opinion may argue for the withdrawal of the military. But what offer have you made?”

His attitude, turning round and round, was cramped and asked directly.

Then the president’s eyes suddenly revived, and he spits out unexpected words.

“For this reason, we have demanded a level of armament to ensure the safety of the moving troops this time. On the condition that they will bear all the necessary resources for the garrison, as well as the related expenses.”

“·················ogue.”

I shook my head at those words.

It’s like he feels that he doesn’t want to let go of our hand.

As if thinking the same thing, the president also showed a light smile.

“Anyway, knowing that, Chairman Jin asks for a full review of the armament of mobile troops. Now, shall we have a conversation between us in earnest?”

Whoops.

At the signal of those words, the military leaders suddenly stood up from their seats.

It was such a sudden change of circumstances, so while they were bewildered, they took their belongings without anyone else going first, and then left the conference room leaving only a brief glance at me.

“what······.”

“I asked you a favor. The conversation between us from now on is highly confidential…”

The president spoke in a meaningful tone and pulled the chair up.

What was the problem with such a serious expression that had never been seen before?

At that moment, a familiar name came out of the president’s mouth.

“I got a phone call from President Liam during the day.”

“·················ogue.”

If it was a call from him, it was most likely about the oil deposits that exist between China and Korea.

I thought that I would not speak to the government until the facts became clear, but in the meantime, it seems that there was something that could be caused by a change of heart.

“For what?”

He looked down at him in hopes that he might.

But perhaps it was meaningless, the president’s lips twisted slightly.

“I heard that you had a conversation with Chairman Jin beforehand.”

“Oh, that’s…”

“I understand. Chairman Jin must have needed time to confirm the facts.”

The president smiled and made my excuses.

With a shy expression on his face, he speaks again.

“By the way, to be honest, I knew something about it.”

“Did you know?”

“Then maybe we don’t have that kind of intelligence. Ah! That doesn’t mean you knew it from the beginning. It’s just a fact that I confirmed after I took the presidency.”

“·················ogue.”

“Simply put, the matter was highly confidential to the extent that it would not be passed on to anyone other than the president and key government officials.”

“Since when?”

“Well, according to the Classification Code, it must have been around 10 years ago.”

“Why do you have to treat it so tightly?”

“That’s it… As Chairman Jin knows, it’s not just a matter of liking. Moreover, in a situation where not only China is involved, but North Korea is also involved.”

“Is North Korea also involved?”

In an instant, my eyes widened.

“You didn’t know that part?”

“Yes, but…….”

“According to information, about seven years ago, North Korea also conducted an investigation on its own. So they came to the conclusion that oil could be mined in the waters there if they wanted to.”

If that’s the case, it’s like a bomb.

If you do, you will have to deal with the threat from North Korea as well as China.

It is only now that I can understand why the 10 years have been simply classified as confidential.

“What are you going to do now?”

I asked without saying a word.

For a while, I thought my eyes were still, and then I heard a determined answer.

“If China is going to bring the issue to the surface, of course, it should be prepared.”

“So, what do you mean?”

“What do you have to think about? A sword must respond with a sword.”

“Does that mean we want to further expand our naval power like China?”

“It could be a way. But I don’t think it makes sense to simply expand the destroyer.”

“·················ogue.”

“In addition to increasing the number of destroyers, it is necessary to have a means to neutralize China’s maritime power at once. For example, mass expansion of missiles.”

In retrospect, that might be a way to go.

Well, some military experts are wary of missile omnipotence, but that’s a story from the distant past when accuracy and efficiency were poor.

It is true that the more missiles made in this era, the more advantageous it can lead to war.

“But the management costs will not be too high.”

The problem was that.

The fact that the greater the number of missiles, the more exponentially the management cost increases.

No, apart from that, we already have thousands of missile power, so the reality is that even securing a garrison is reaching its limit.

“It’s an administrative cost, isn’t it the same for other weapon systems anyway? The most important thing is that it is not easy to secure a base in this small land in its current state.”

“Yes. Anyway, I was also about to mention the issue of securing a base.”

Surprised by the unexpected insight, he immediately responded.

As if embarrassed, he smiled and spoke again.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. Even though I don’t know the military field, it’s not to that extent. In any case, the problem is to be studied gradually, and what is clear is that it is necessary to significantly expand the missile power than it is now. cruise missiles, including ballistic missiles. And even supersonic anti-ship missiles.”

“·················ogue.”

“In particular, we plan to raise the number of supersonic anti-ship missiles to a dramatic level. That way, China won’t make a mistake either. This is to make people feel that their naval forces could be wiped out in an instant if they provoke.”

“I know what you mean. By the way, do you know how many supersonic anti-ship missiles must be possessed in order to annihilate China’s maritime power at once?”

“Well, wouldn’t two thousand be enough?”

“You mean producing 2,000 supersonic anti-ship missiles?”

My jaw dropped in embarrassment.

But maybe that wasn’t the end of it, the president’s words continued.

“Chairman Jin developed our supersonic anti-ship missiles as a means that cannot be defended. That’s because a horse is traveling at supersonic speed, so it’s in and out of the hypersonic realm. Wouldn’t it be natural to use that means?”

“·················ogue.”

“But it must be said that it is not possible to achieve complete deterrence by itself. At least the other side is a nuclear power.”

“·················ogue.”

“So I plan to additionally secure at least 3,000 medium- and short-range Hyunmoo ballistic missiles and cruise missiles over the next five years.”

“Are you serious?”

I secretly asked

The president’s head nodded resolutely.

Soon he looks at me and asks.

“But the problem is, again, securing additional ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.”

“·················ogue.”

“It’s an operating base. Obviously, there will be opposition to the establishment of the base due to local selfishness, but isn’t it the same as putting eggs in one basket to deploy all additional bases only to the existing bases managed by the Missile Command?”

That was correct.

In the case of strategic military targets such as missile bases, it is almost always a primary strike target.

There is no strategic meaning to additional deployments there.

“It may be a way to increase the number of mobile launchers. However, in the end, it is necessary to secure a garrison, and it will be inevitable that the local residents will intensify their opposition. In other words, more fundamental measures are needed.”

The president looked at me with his eyes wide open.

It seems like you don’t have any countermeasures for that.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He sighed for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

“It’s not that there isn’t a way, but it’s worrying because it’s such a controversial way to deal with it.”

“Let’s hear what happened.”

“Around 1996, the US Navy had plans to build an Arsenal ship. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to use that method.”

“Arsenal?”

“So-called integrated firepower. It is a means of delivering a large number of missiles.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, the case of the United States was eventually abolished.”

“why?”

“It’s a matter of efficiency. In the case of an integrated firepower ship, a escort fleet is absolutely necessary because the damage is not so great if it sinks. Wouldn’t that cause unnecessary power distribution problems?”

“Hmm······.”

“Nevertheless, the reason I proposed it is because the purpose of our integrated fireship operation is different from that of the United States.”

“·················ogue.”

“In the case of the United States, the development was attempted to enhance the firepower of the expeditionary force, but we are not. Korea’s virtual enemies are all within the mid- and short-range Hyunmu’s crossroads, so there is no reason to drag them to the sea.”

“Ah······.”

“That’s why the ship itself only needs to be operated near where there are facilities that can protect it. That is, a maritime platform.”

“Even so, it is not the same as being the preferred target for the enemy.”

The president could not shake off his concerns.

If it had been before the return, of course, I would have been worried about that part too.

Without even trying to suppress the smile that came out of nowhere, he spat out the words.

“I bet there is no missile that can penetrate our country’s dense air defense system at present.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, the possibility of being attacked by sea cannot be ignored. But that’s only possible when our naval power has already been wiped out. You don’t think the missiles will remain on the ship until then, do you?”

“·················ogue.”

“If I were the commander, I would have fired all the missiles already in the worst case scenario.”

The president swallowed dry saliva at those words.

Perhaps there was hope, and his expression looked more relaxed than it had been before.

“Okay. Let’s thoroughly review the proposal. What is urgent now is to solve the Saudi problem first.”

The conversation has returned to its origins.

Well, the priority right now is not how to deal with China, but to solve the Saudi problem first.

As I, too, shake off the thoughts that had been embroidering my head and try to adjust my posture again, the president looks at me with a most meaningful smile on my face. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“By the way. I feel like this might be an opportunity.”

“what······.”

“Anyway, if Saudi Arabia has all the resources, there are quite a few things to try.”

“·················ogue.”

“For example, it was the improvement of Biho, who had been treated as obsolete because his position was ambiguous. Or try putting into practice the heavy armored warrior platform that Jaewoo has been developing on his own……”

“·················ogue.”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
