“What's that supposed to mean? ”

A story soon to follow.

The description of the M1 booster was also included in the further research on the TV.

What's really shocking.

“Anything on TV should be considered advertising. I've heard from practitioners that you can fly over six times the distance with the same fuel, saving 83 percent of your existing fuel. ”

Kung fu.

The look on Joil-soo and other executives' faces was not very good. I just listened, but there was no answer.

If there was a six-fold difference, the worst case would be one.

“Does that mean you could drop your price six times or less now? ”

“Something like that. ”

“Hnng.”

He shakes his head, moaning in a daze.

It was more than I thought.

If I let it go like this, it was going to be really bad.

But one thing came to mind in the report.

“Wait, so you're saying we should buy an M1 booster? ”

“Yes, but there's also a bit of a problem here. ”

“What?”

“That cost is now roughly 30 billion in fares for one of our standard aircraft. We don't know exactly what we're going to do with 30 billion, but correcting teenagers is going to be 300 billion. ”

“Thirty billion….. is not a small price. ”

“But the effect is clear, with teenagers now working on the same subway lines in Asiana Airlines (?) It takes a year to cross the breakeven point. ”

“What if I don't? ”

“Then you will be pushed back by the small and medium-sized airlines that have employed it. ”

“You don't have a choice. ”

“That's right.”

I took a look at the other executives.

I looked at other opinions.

But then there were none.

“Fine, then you can go to President Jo Min-woo in person and negotiate. ”

“I understand.

Truly it was a quick march.

It was said that he was feeling that much crisis.

And Raincomb's reaction to this was surprisingly simple.

Let's review.

That was it.

I just watched without moving to see if there was something else planned.

* * *

Lockheed was the world's leading company in the development of military fighters. They were therefore also technologically advanced, but did not hesitate to make efforts to acquire a variety of different source technologies.

Investing astronomical costs in top American Ivy League universities has something to do with this.

As such, they did not just leave employees who were sent to Raincomb in case they were in trouble.

It was Becker's observation of the researchers.

No, surveillance was more accurate.

They actually sent their employees to Korea to closely monitor their trends.

However, there were limitations inside Raincomb.

And at first, it wasn't that serious, so it was neglected.

But recently announced M1 boosters.

This was a different case.

“What, what? Like you said, you can extend the range limits of an existing fighter by six times? ”

“Yes, unlike other parts, it's still a step in place. But Raincomb's M1 booster technology can overcome that. And this is not the opinion of our internal laboratory, this is the opinion of the Pentagon. No, they want to apply that technology to the next generation of fighters, if possible. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“If you apply M1 lifting technology to a fighter now, you can increase the radius of your operation by 6x. That means more flexible strategic planning than it already is. They can take off six times the distance from the carrier. They're babies. ”

Quiet.

Then the atmosphere became serious.

It wasn't just a loose end.

But if there is a problem.......

“It's about whether we can apply it to our fighters. ”

“Something like that. ”

Just hearing this made me feel something.

“Are you saying that we should press the Korean government through the US administration? ”

I wasn't just saying that.

Lockheed is one of the largest political contributions in the United States. While an average of $500,000 annually is officially donated to the U.S. Congress, the informal amount is difficult to determine.

The people here don't know this either.

“That's not it. We need to consult the Korean government, which is so corrupt that it is easy to reach out to. Rather, they're going to try to eat more. Moreover, Park Min-woo is not the style of Wall Chang-ho. You know that better than I do, so let's skip that. ”

It was the M-battery-related part.

It was easy, but everyone here knew it too.

At that time, Cho Min-woo suffered a loss, but it was more beneficial.

Cho Min-woo can talk!

This was the perception.

I didn't have to use force, or any other political tricks.

“Then…..”

“Our retirement researchers, including Becker, are working there. They should be able to find some clues. ”

“Excellent. Proceed immediately. ”

“I understand.”

Ted's an ex-CIA agent. Once upon a time, he made quite a name for himself inside the CIA. It was also capable, but it was very capable in many ways.

In particular, Zata recognized the ability to spy on interpersonal relationships.

It was for a reason that he received Lockheed's scout proposal when he was in the CIA.

Soon I accepted the offer.

And that's what lobbyists do.

Participated in the dirty dealings with the United States, South Korea and the rest of the world. Thanks to that, the ransom bounced up without knowing the government.

He was in charge of the M1 levitator, which meant it was just as important. It was just not very interesting to him.

After arriving at Incheon Airport, I entered Seoul and felt the breathless air.

“It's like New York in here. ”

“I think it's the capital of Korea. ”

But this interest also did not last long.

The priority was to confirm the profile of Becker and Jo Min-woo who will be meeting soon. Becker already has a lot of material in Lockheed, so it's easy to understand.

However, Cho Min-woo was different. What was in his profile was just a list of things he had done so far.

"I don't know."

Empirically, I forgot this document because I knew it would help me in practice, but it caused more problems.

Becker comes first.

The call was already made, and Becker did not say no either.

The Hilton Hotel in Seoul.

The hotel's interior is comparable to other famous American hotels he knows.

The staircase leading to the basement in the center also caught my eye, but it was also the hotel staff who caught my eye.

I had the best body, whether it was just a model.

The dry saliva had fallen to my knees.

‘But right now, work comes first. ’

After a little more than 15 minutes, Becker appears.

It was a bit different from the face in the picture.

I liked the shine and gloss.

It looked better.

It was especially energetic.

The intense willingness did not appear in any of the profiles you investigated.

‘There's something. ’

“I'm Ted from the first Asia team on Lockheed Strategic Planning. ”

“Becker.”

A simple answer.

But Becker glances at the opponent and the other companion with deep eyes.

Strategic Planning Team.

I couldn't tell.

Lockheed Martin was created to lead the world's weapons market. Therefore, they were not only looking at the US market, they were looking at markets around the world.

It wasn't just that.

"Lobby, especially astronomical lobby if necessary. Of course, if that's not the case....... ’

It's also a place where you can use all your tricks.

Although it is unknown.......

And they had no reason to find themselves.

"I don't know if you are….."

It was strange.

“What made you want to see me? ”

“Hahaha, why are you so distant from me? I'm an employee of Becker's former company, Lockheed. ”

“Let's not talk nonsense. You come from far away America, from this little country called Korea, looking for someone as trivial as me? It's impossible unless you need it for a reason. ”

“Hmm.”

Ted says just a few words, but realizes it's not easy.

‘I don't like the image of my company. It's a completely rural situation. ’

He was furious with Sazam Lockheed's inadequate talent response skills.

But I needed to take care of it well.

“I understand your frustration with what happened last time. It had something to do with the misconduct that Becker had inside the department. ”

“The rain......”

I heard it right up here and frowned.

They already have a thorough understanding of themselves.

I just didn't feel that bad.

At that time, my eyesight was trembling even when I think about it now.

“Well, that doesn't mean anything now. What is your business?”

Ted was nervous for a moment.

This is, in a way, the most important moment in negotiation. I thought about whether I should continue negotiating over time or finish at once.

Two of them caught my eye.

It was hugged on either side of the hotel entrance.

They were invisible at first.

Surveillance?

I thought it was natural.

Even if he were president of Raincomb, he would have done more. Although I am not interested in M1 boosters, I am aware of the technical value.

And I had to think about it.

Given that Jo Min-woo is already aware of this situation.

‘Then we'll fit right in. ’

“It's an M1 booster. ”

“No, why don't we speak officially on the company side? ”

“What we want is someone with that technology. Just like Becker. We'll give you $50 million if you sign a contract. ”

“Fifty million dollars.......”

Becker's tongue sticks out, not knowing if it's because he's old enough. It was hard to touch even if he worked his whole life.

But he also didn't know this meaning.

“But it doesn't work. ”

“Yes? What are you talking about? ”

“Only President Jo Min-woo knows all the core skills. ”

* * *

We were receiving real-time updates about Becker as well as Cho Min-woo. Starting with the time he left, who he was meeting and what he was doing.

I didn't intend to, but I was cautious until I knew for sure that I was a former Lockheed employee.

‘Even if they don't know much, they don't know about people. In any case, vigilance is never good. ’

Soon after seeing Ted's profile of Becker, I frowned.

‘Rockhydra.......’

I had already anticipated it somewhat, but it was quicker than I thought.

However, I had to see that it was somewhat late.

‘I should have been watching from the start. ’

The M1 stimulus line was a valuable skill.

It wasn't just the passenger deception. What he did on the plane was not just an attempt to kill an existing airline.

Rather, it was meaningful to demonstrate that technology was integrated with other companies.

‘Now, look, what should I ask Lockheed for? ’

It was a happy concern.

What comes to mind.

It was a fighter.

Of course, it wasn't just that.

There was a helicopter.

There was also a destroyer.

Of course, beauty was a battleship in the navy.

And so was the aircraft carrier.

‘There's so much I want to eat, it's not easy to choose. ’

But I couldn't go on like this.

If you ask for everything, it won't work.

Rather, Lockheed would only give him the shell as before. It was right to focus on just one thing.

There was one thing that came to mind.

I thought you acquired the airline. Then you'd better concentrate on this. Would that make me a fighter? ’

The problem was here.

Even if he tried to bring in a fighter, dealing with the government was also a problem.

If you're buying and rolling a plane from a private company, say, "Yes, do it! ’There was no official to do it.

No, even if they were, they wouldn't stay out of the public opinion.

‘If so, it would mean something different…..’

It wasn't easy.

If you created an official channel with a government you hated, it would definitely increase the number of people caught. If not, he's asking me to pay him back.

‘Come to think of it, the Korean government is a bigger problem. ’

No, it wasn't just this.

In the end, the U.S. government had to consider this as well.
