[Nice to meet you, Minister Mikhail.]

[I don't know if I made you wait so long. There was a lot of snow that followed, so I went through a lot of stopovers, so it took a lot longer than expected.]

The conversation between the two seemed pointless.

Proof that we have already met face to face many times.

What was unique was Mikhail's English pronunciation, and his English did not have a Russian accent at all.

[You must have had a hard time coming alone.]

[Thanks to you, I really felt like I was on a real trip. By the way, the people in the Chinese and Japanese intelligence departments are really disgusting. I'm glad Iran cooperated, otherwise I would have come all the way here with a tail.]

As I listened to the conversation, I became aware of reality anew.

About how wary China and Japan are in developing our military technology.

Today's negotiations must be successful, even in order not to repeat history.

[But who is that young friend?]

Mikhail, who had been talking for a long time, focused on me.

Extremely vigilant eyes.

[My name is Hyunseung Jin, the representative of the former negotiator.]

As soon as I approached him and stretched out his hand, he looked all over my body with a trembling expression.

[I am an agent. It wasn't unexpected.]

Those were the words he said while looking at Deputy Chief Lim Hyo-shik.

After holding his breath for a moment, Deputy Director Lim showed a labored smile and offered him a seat.

[Let's sit down and talk.]

Whoops.

Mikhail sat down with his stiff face.

As soon as he looked at the Deputy Manager Lim with his eyes waiting for an answer, he spoke again.

[The government has come up with an agenda to expand the list of negotiations for this second project. So Hyunseung Jin, who is here, came forward with that problem.]

[Then you are saying that this person belongs to the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea?]

[It's not like that...]

Mikhail's eyes narrowed at the attitude of Lim, who could not explain.

Anyway, what will he do by hiding a fact that he will find out someday?

Immediately there was my introduction back towards him.

[I am currently serving as a managing director at Jaeuthales, one of the Korean military companies.]

Mikhail rolled his eyes.

It was as if they were wondering why an unplanned private military industry is intervening in this negotiation.

However, he did not say anything after that, and suddenly he vomited the complaints that seemed to have piled up toward Lim.

[It is impossible to come and renegotiate now. As you know, wasn't he the one who broke the promise in the first place? We obviously wanted to avoid being exposed to the media, but the Korean government violated that, and as a result, the transaction items were adjusted.]

Mikhail pointed to the root cause of the downsizing of the project.

At that time, Russia wanted to keep the business itself a complete secret, but some media sniffed it out, and in the end, the Russian government, outraged, drastically reduced the business items.

For me, who had only heard of it, it felt strangely unfamiliar.

Really that was true.

If that's the case, I'd be pissed off even as a Russian.

It must have been annoying for our government as well.

[Don't get excited, let's hear the story first.]

Lim was perplexed and exhorted him.

Then, as soon as he was about to explain, Mikhail waved his hand and put a document on the table.

[Honestly, these alone make us bleed a lot. But how much more do you want me to give here?]

Suddenly, his eyes widened at the documents he handed out.

Two command T-80UK tanks and a BMP-3 armored vehicle.

From the Metis-M launcher to the Moorena air-lifting craft and a firefighting helicopter modified from the Ka-32A.

It was a document filled with the list of items negotiated in the second project in progress.

'Ttt, it's very serious to bleed a lot with just that. How much did you guys get from us?’

By the way, when I actually looked at the documents, my greed arose again.

In particular, the double inversion rotor technology and powerful engine technology and software of the KA-32A, one of Kamov's masterpieces.

Korea was not able to acquire it until 2024.

So those technologies that data chips don't have.

'Yeah, that's where the limits of the chip come into play. Even if it contains a lot of cutting-edge technology, it does not contain all the technologies of the world.’

Even so, it wasn't disappointing.

If that is the reality, I will have to overcome that limitation myself in the future.

In fact, wasn't that the reason why this place was created in the first place?

[Anyway, I'm here to sign an already finalized matter, not to renegotiate.]

[Don't do that...]

Deputy Director Lim could not respond to Mikhail's continuous pouring of complaints.

At this point, I have to step in.

When I slowly gave an eye signal to Lim, he let out a sigh of relief.

[If the outcome of the renegotiation is also beneficial to Russia, why not listen to it at least once?]

[Russian interests? What would be of interest to Russia in this negotiation? Other than just taking a little more debt.]

He refuted by emphasizing the facts.

Well, actually, it's not wrong.

No matter how successful the negotiations are, nothing will happen from Russia's point of view.

In other words, it is just a situation of taking more or losing less, and it would be an unreasonable issue to associate that with the word profit.

[You're right, but what if it's not just about reducing the size of your debt? In other words, if Russia can definitely get something from this opportunity.]

Therefore, for now, they must present what they can surely get their hands on.

Perhaps his heart was moved, Mikhail's expression, which had been frozen the whole time, softened a little at those words.

[Is there another reward?]

[That's right.]

[Okay. Let's hear it somewhere.]

At those words, I held my breath for a moment.

He pondered for a long time as to where to start talking first, and finally threw the word out straight-forward.

[I'll give you a detection radar technology that is comparable to Apache. Instead, the KA-50. Namely, Black Shark's engine and double inversion rotor. And please hand over the software source codes.]

[··········.]

Mikhail rolled his eyes.

At first glance, his expression looked as if he had been hit in the head with a blunt weapon.

[What did you just say? Are you saying that South Korea has millimeter-wave radar technology at the level of Longbow?)]

[That's right.]

Longbow radar refers to the fire control radar installed by Apache.

Also known as Choco Pie by the general public.

A round, flat object attached to the rotor of the late Apache type.

A radar system that identifies 128 objects recognized as high risk factors by its own judgment among 1,000 nearby objects with a detection distance of about 8 km, and guides 16 of them to be attacked at the same time.

We developed it about 3 years before we succeeded in developing the AESA radar, but in terms of hardware performance alone, it was comparable to Longbow.

[What nonsense! Do you know that Russia is importing from France because it has not yet developed?]

[Of course I do. In addition, the performance is not as good as that of the US, so we are struggling. But what we developed is different.]

[··········.]

Mikhail's face was full of doubt for a while.

He believes that he has to show it anyway.

I immediately got up and headed to a nearby TV, and then played the video footage I had prepared.

[··········.]

What decorated the video was a test prototype being produced in the laboratory.

Although it is not fully formed, a scene that is enough to tell that it is a millimeter wave radar just by looking at the internal structure and other radio wave test scenes.

Mikhail's lips, which had been stubbornly closed until now, began to slowly open.

[How do you do that...]

[Well, there is nothing to say other than that it is the product of hard work.]

[But that's a lab-level test. Do you think it proves that the stuff you make with it is capable of comparable performance to the American longbow?]

Mikhail pinched the point.

And practically I have no way to prove it right now.

The only way is to mount the item directly on the attack helicopter and test it, because we don't have the infrastructure to do that.

Eventually, he shrugged his shoulders, and he looked worried for a while.

[Hmm... If verification is not possible, the negotiation itself is meaningless.]

[Then, could you please cooperate for the verification?]

[······Cooperation?]

[KA-50. In other words, hand over one Black Shark as a finished product. Then we will remove the existing hardware, install the radar we developed in its place, and test it.]

[Then, if the US rushes to tear it apart like in the case of the T80U tank, can you stop it?]

It was an irrefutable statement.

In a nutshell, the US is now frantic to find out the capabilities of the attack helicopter developed by Russia.

As soon as it enters Korean soil, it will be a matter of time before the US rushes in and dismantles it in parts.

[Hmm... Then how about this?](Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Mikhail's eyes stared at my mouth again.

Lim, who had been listening to the story the whole time, was making an expression wondering what kind of situation this was.

[This time, we decided to import the KA-32A as a disaster prevention helicopter. In other words, secretly remodel one of the disaster prevention helicopters. You don't need anything else, just give the mission computer installation and the software source code, and we'll test it by attaching hardware to it.]

For a moment, Mikhail's eyes widened.

It was a pretty plausible improvisation, and at the same time it was the only way to avoid the eyes of America.

[That way...]

But that's not an improvisation, it's a response from experience.

Before returning, to be precise, when testing the AESA radar for fighters developed by Korea.

The US did not allow them to touch the fighters they sold, and we did not have the infrastructure to test them, so after a long search, we had to ask Israel, which has the aircraft and software for testing, to have its performance verified, and I am applying it now.

Damn, when I think about it, I remember going through high school again.

[By the way, is it really necessary to modify the KA-32A? Rather than that, we can only temporarily provide mission computers and software, and install it on a helicopter owned by the South Korean military and test it.]

[All helicopters we own are sourced from the United States.]

[Ah······.]

Mikhail, who understood the situation late, nodded his head.

He was worried for a long time whether he was weighing the budget, but soon after trying to make a phone call somewhere, he spat out positive words.

[If the conditions are like that, we might be able to try an adventure. But, are you really confident that the US won't get caught?]

[I will take responsibility for that.]

Lim, who was listening, quickly intervened.

However, Mikhail nevertheless showed a disappointing expression on his face, and in the end, Lim's promises were repeated over and over before he nodded his head. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Okay, then, I will send one of the first disaster prevention helicopters to be imported in April next year with a mission computer and software installed. However, if the test results do not meet expectations, only our core software sources will be leaked, and the cost will not be high.]

He got up at the same time as a serious warning.

At the last words, perhaps he was frightened, Lim, who was watching him blankly behind him as he turned and walked out the door, whispered softly.

“I don’t know if this is something I made a promise to… But is Executive Director Jin Hyun-seung really confident? If the results don't work out, I'll be ruined too."

From his point of view, it must have been a natural feeling of anxiety.

It took a long time for him to think of getting the job done, but he wasn't sure whether the test would succeed or not.

In fact, it was surprising to me that he came out.

“You don't have to worry. Even if it goes bankrupt, I will take responsibility for the deputy chief.”

"Five! Oh God······."

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-36
