This time, I stayed in Korea for three months. Although the air was bad, Jeju Island was perfect for working while playing, but I couldn't leave the headquarters for too long, so I had to return to Johnston City.

Another reason I had to come to the United States was because the White House asked me to come several times, so I couldn't delay it forever. A private plane stops by the headquarters for Jennifer and heads to Washington. When you arrive at the White House, you will be taken to the conference room where you gathered earlier.

"Ah, this guy. It's really hard to see. It's been a while this time."

"There were important business matters. But if you told me it was urgent, I would have come running."

President Kerry welcomes me as soon as he sees me, and he's sad to hear me say why he didn't come sooner. But it's not that urgent.

Paneta, Vice President Edward, Director of National Security, Director Furtrey and Secretary of State Joseph Paul sat in the room. I made a joke with the four in front of me, hugging and smiling, but it was nice to see you.

"How are you, Minister Joseph? You don't look so good without seeing him."

"I heard Chairman Kim has expanded his business again. Congratulations."

After laughing with close friends, Minister Joseph feels awkward alone. When I hug with a happy face, I look rebounded, probably starting with the president, and everyone in this position is intimate except themselves, but he feels distant from himself. I liked it so much that I laughed inside.

By the way, I congratulate you on your underwater development business, but I'm not sure if this is a celebration.

"Hehe, I appreciate the gesture, but I can't lift my head..."

At HQ, there are a few people I can't seem to meet because I'm aware of them. It's not long since I said I was going to try to ‘stabilize’ this year, but I'm avoiding the big one by blowing it up. I hear there's a lot of people who can't get into the house because of me.

"Here, I'll pour you a glass. Let's have a drink and talk."

President Kerry picks up the whiskey and pours it out one by one because it's already past his shift. The golden color of the cold ice glows, but after a sip, I feel like my esophagus is getting warmer.

"You know what? There's been a lot of horses around here because of you. Well, there aren't many politicians connected to China, but Japan is different. The people you were close to were a little noisy."

"When you asked me to acquire the Grotton City Shipyard, why did you come here and say something else? We talked about that last time! I don't mind if you help me with this... That's nice."

Panetta told me another story, and I just shot him. Of course, I wasn't really angry, I was just shouting loudly.

"Haha, you understand. Secretary Panetta argued with you most actively. I'm just asking you to find out."

President Kerry says something next to him. I just realized why I kept getting pushed around, and I just wanted to say a word to help.

"I don't mind using Hawaii and Guam as your base, but instead of Guam, didn't you randomly switch to Jeju? Because the nuclear submarine has a base in Korea, it's causing even more commotion in Japan! “

President Kerry's words and Paneta's slightly embarrassed look in my eyes hurriedly complained.

"What the fuck are you talking about in Japan? When did the United States become so weak that you couldn't see Japan?"

"Who said anything about weakness? I'm just saying."

'Dammit, we have to stop them talking this time... We have relatives here, right?'

I grumbled inside. I guess I'll just have to ditch the next of kin at the House election this weekend. So far, I've had no interest in running for Congress, but I've got a bunch of assholes betting on me.

"The decision to make Jeju the home of the Johnstone Nautilus is largely consistent with the U.S. security strategy."

"What? What does that mean?"

Everyone looks curious about my sudden claims. However, the Secretary of Defense Paneta looks to know a little.

"The Johnstone Nautilus is a nuclear submarine. It could be an enormous strategic weapon to protect the interests of the United States in this region. If you like, you can also slightly modify the interior for military use. In fact, it was designed from the start to carry equipment, so you can say," Nose on your nose, earring on your ear. "“

"Oh ho, so what?"

I'm telling you, President Kerry is in a hurry. Looking at Secretary Paneta, I don't think he's said anything about the potential of the Johnstone Nautilus yet, but he can't say anything that hasn't been confirmed.

Bang!

"Exactly. The Nautilus can play a huge role in keeping the United States in the region. If I had three armed Nautilus, I'd be proud to be able to outrun the Chinese submarine power in the region. “

Instead of talking, I got excited and knocked down my desk. It's pride. Once the Johnstone Nautilus has merged the state-of-the-art technologies developed for underwater exploration, it is the strongest under water. Honestly, if you can find your enemies on the sea floor first, it's game over.

Moreover, if you carry a baby submarine in 10 hangars at the bottom, you can create a "Submarine Squadron" with a main body and a teenage escort submarine to carry out various operations. Pups can scout out and find or attack enemies first.

In addition, the Johnstone Techno Centre was dedicated to developing technology to enable seamless communication underwater, focusing on the 'wireless’ function to work freely on the sea floor for extended periods of time. I explained this and everyone was surprised.

"Haha, you've made a whole thing!"

"I don't know. The more I hear about this, the more I'm surprised."

Kerry and Secretary Paneta admire the elongation. I give you this' possibility 'in detail to help you develop and produce technology in the future. The submarine itself needs to make my own money, but the development of related technologies can be supported by the government under the name "military."

Improving detection, communication, instrument control and other performance are the same for the civilian or military. I'm not an idiot, but I don't have to do what the government can with my money.

The people sitting around the table are very interested in being able to deal with three Chinese submarines with 50 small diesel vessels, including three nuclear submarines, as well as three Johnstone Nautilus. In particular, I was amazed at the idea of a new fleet of radio communications technology and attack baby submarines operating on the sea floor.

“It's natural to control China, but if you really think of Japan as an ally, it's a big mistake. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Japan doesn't know when to back off, so America needs to stay overwhelmed! The world's only superpower! America can take on the world on its own! That's the America I'm after! ”

When I shout "America's best" in a strong tone, everyone nods loudly. For those who were born as citizens of the superpowers of the world, the word "strong America" is heartbreaking.

"A strong America, and I am the one who wields it." Heheheh. ’

I swallowed a smile as I looked at Director Furtrey and Director Eaton, who were impressed by what I said. It's because of my pretentious expression and tone, I think they mistook me for a great patriot.

“Khh-hmm. Of course, you're right a hundred times, but it's about defense. Speaking of which, if I'm going to run against you at the end of the year, I want to shut down some of the troops that went to Afghanistan and Iraq, which I don't. I'm worried about more casualties. ”

President Kerry secretly turns to a war on topic, frowning and glaring at Secretary Paneta.

“Chairman Kim. I wanted to talk to you about putting robots in Iraq. I want you to give me some advice on how robots can do their job and how to fix the problem. ”

“You said you ran a pilot. So how'd it go? ”

“I'm just saying. There were a lot of restrictions and a lot of problems at the scene. ”

The U.S. military has already deployed a Talon Sword type reconnaissance robot developed by another company on site. This robot, which moves in orbit like a tank, is armed with machine guns and wirelessly controlled from a distance. Since the area of land is only horizontal and one meter long, it has difficulty jumping over obstacles.

Moreover, because remote control is not smooth and the reaction rate is slow, it will not help much. The next presidential election will be over before we can fix the problem.

“It was too soon. You think this is some kind of joke, putting a weapon in a small business like that? I said no in the first place, didn't I? ”

“Shhh! Yes, because it's urgent. Isn't that why I called you now? ”

It's funny to think of it as a robot with the slightest trajectory in the first place. Especially since this is not a well-chopped road, and robots are not as easy to make as children's toys. Secretary Paneta smiles lightly at my reprimand.

In Iraq, there is still no significant improvement in the chaos. The problem is that the Republican president Kerry, who shouted as soon as he was elected, is about to attack the situation with a weakness that is not improved at all, perhaps even worse. That's why we need a plan.

“Cut the crap and I'll show you what a real robot is. ”

I pointed to a picture of a floating orbital robot and said a word, and then connected my laptop to the projector. Soon the screen will change. If not, I opened the materials screen that I had prepared because I heard about the brief discussion today.

“You know Big Dog, the porter robot I saw before? This is a scene where you put a weapon on a Big Dog and do an experiment. ”

[chuck, chuck, chuck...]

[giggling, giggling, chuck, giggling! Tut Tut Tut Tut Tut Tut]

Chubbuck, Chubbuck, Chuckle, Chubbuck, Chubbuck, Chubbuck, Chubbuck!! Tutu Tutu!]

[Shhh! Chuck, Chubbuck, Chubbuck]

In the video, the frames are obtained on the skeleton of the Big Dog, and an experimental model with a camera and machine gun on top of it walks freely on all fours and conducts a battle.

Its movement is so natural because it was made to carry a load balancing the mountain slopes, snow, and rough mountain paths.

[.....]

Everyone was surprised and focused on the video. After the experiment video, the room was completely static. I think I was shocked when I saw the real robot, because the robot from the movie was moving like a real animal and shooting at me like a real animal.

“How is it? Is it working? The robot you've just seen is experimental, it's ugly, but if it's actually made, it's going to look a little bit cooler. Now on the screen is the production of the model you just saw, the Big Dog L53. ”

I soon handed over the data screen and showed him the photos from the lab. Makes sense to me.

“Phew, this is so... absurd. ”

“Am I watching a movie or what? It used to be creepy, but with a weapon like this, it feels so different. It's really scary.”

A big dog that can carry cargo and fight. The people sitting around are saying something, but I think they're a little shocked. In fact, when I first saw Big Dog, I immediately remembered the 'Terminator’. I don't know if it's because I keep seeing it.

“Can you put this in the field? Are you sure it's okay for reconnaissance?”

After briefly unraveling the L53 model, Paneta asks if he can replace the orbital robots he tested in Iraq.

“There are some who specialize in scouting and fighting more than the big dogs originally developed for porters. What you see on the screen here is Spider L56. ”

“Wow, this... definitely feels different! ”

“Well, well. There's nothing Chairman Kim can't make. The Talon model that did the experimental reconnaissance in Iraq doesn't even catch my eye. ”

“I see. There's too much difference, so I have nothing to say. ”

Following Secretary Panetta's remarks, Vice President Edward tells us how they feel, and everyone is amazed. I shrugged my shoulders and added a note.

“Orbit is for a specific purpose, not much use in practice. It's not funny to want a flat road on a battlefield. And it's too slow for the gun to work. This spider L56 model has an eight-degree sensor, and in 0.1 seconds it can rotate its torso 360 degrees, it can stabilize itself with six legs, it can run up to 50 kilos an hour. ”

"Damn... I never thought I'd see one of these in my life. This is too powerful for you, isn't it?"

Secretary Paneta grunts as he kicks his tongue, hearing the detailed specifications. You yell at me to build a robot, and now you're grumbling and mumbling.

"What do you think? Do you want to live? Honestly, if you go three or four blocks of L56 Taiwan, the Iraqis won't move. Ah, and because L56 and low-altitude drones can work together, they can pick up like tweezers. In a word, invincible. Hahahaha."

I burst into laughter instead of explaining. If the aerial surveillance drones could move in real time and transmit the photos together, it would definitely work because we can see minor movements.

"A joint operation? That's good. Join Paneta and Chairman Kim to come up with a plan to get these robots on the battlefield."

President Kerry is welcome in any way that solves the Iraqi problem. Ask Secretary Paneta to work with me on the timing and price of the final production.

'But... it's like I'm the villain.' '

Seeing photos of Big Dog and Spider robots still floating on the screen, he tasted them without my knowledge. In the movies, the villain boss, who only knows money, makes robots and causes trouble, and somehow I look like him. Ugh...

Artwork Reviews

I have uploaded three photos of the model described in the text in the settings box. The Talon and Big Dog photos are in the previous settings.

All I have to say is that I'm sorry about the association cycle. Once more work, it never gives up. Especially last month, I went on a family trip to Jeju Island for 3 nights and 4 days, but since I've been there, things are piling up...

And I tried to put a lot of stories around it that were relatively easy to write, but as I wrote at the first person, there was a disadvantage that it was difficult (for a writer) to describe various situations smoothly. I didn't know this because it was my first work.
