The atmosphere at the dinner party that followed was friendly.

[Chairman Jin, what is your schedule tomorrow?]

He came with a schedule of 3 days and 2 nights, and he unexpectedly wanted me to join the schedule for the next day, and after a brief conversation with the chief of staff, I agreed to his proposal.

Whoops.

At one of the banquet halls I looked at for a moment, and I saw Alexei and Natasha talking.

Alexei for the purpose of exchange with the NIS. And Natasha said that she visited as Putin's bodyguard, but it's a little questionable why she suddenly moved from the intelligence department to the bodyguard.

[Now is the time to say hello. Long time no see, Chairman Jin,]

Alexei, who made eye contact, approached him first, pretending to know him.

Perhaps it was because of the relationship that had been built up over the years, there was no awkwardness between us shaking hands.

[You seem to have gained a little weight, and it seems that the director doesn't really care about health these days.]

[Haha, do you see that? Well, it's true that my mental state has become a bit more relaxed. In the meantime, I have lived with the sole idea that I must somehow raise Mr. Putin to the presidency, but now that grand dream has come true.]

At the joke that he gave with a smile, Alexei gave a fairly bone-in-the-wall response.

To reinterpret those words, it reveals that he is Putin's core henchman.

What flashed through my mind for a moment at that moment was the question of whether this was the case historically.

As far as I can remember, none of the famous people who stayed by Putin's side until the end was named Alexe.

As I don't know everything about how Russian politics works, it will be a question that will only be answered over time.

[By the way, there was one thing that was a little embarrassing to tell Chairman Jin.]

At that, he immediately turned his head.

As their eyes met, he glanced around and whispered.

[Not long ago, an incident occurred in the developing country of Sukhoi.]

[··········.]

In an instant, I remembered what Choi In-bae had said.

There was a time when developing countries were noisy.

He didn't even pretend to know anything, so he just watched his mouth quietly.

[Our intelligence agency has revealed that among the staff of the Sukhoi Development Bureau, there is one researcher who was hired by the China Shenyang Aviation Manufacturing Corporation. Because of that, a few months ago, Natasha moved.]

It seemed like it might be something like that.

What is surprising is that this time it was not Japan, but China.

After all, there is no reason for Japan to engage in espionage warfare for the purpose of stealing Russian technology.

At that time, my case was not for Russia, but for me.

Moreover, it was around this time that China was making every effort to acquire fighter development technology, so it is not unusual for China to do such a thing.

‘By the way, I don’t know who it is, but it’s pitiful.’

If Natasha moved, what would be the result?

[But why did Natasha suddenly leave the intelligence service and move to the bodyguard?]

I suddenly wondered about it and asked.

Soon her natural gaze turned to her, and she, who had just been near her Putin, smiled faintly when her eyes met hers and me.

[I'm also a little sad about that. The best agent of the Foreign Intelligence Agency just moved to the bodyguard. But what do you do? That's what you mean.]

[Her President Putin called her directly into her bodyguards?]

[That's right. It was also a shame that she had originally chosen her as her foreign intelligence agency. She is so quick-witted and has good judgment in situations, so it seems that she wanted to be around her.]

It seemed to make sense somehow.

Because I had the same impression at the time.

Her frankly, it's hard to find any other men I've seen around her that are as strong and quick as her.

[By the way, it seems that Sir Putin is going to inspect Korea's industrial complexes tomorrow. If Chairman Jin is not busy, please join us.]

[I'm still planning on doing that.]

Putin's visit to industrial sites meant that the Russian economy was in full swing.

The political situation, which had been extremely unstable in the meantime, has rapidly stabilized under his rule.

Their growth, which will continue for a while after that, can be described as explosive, but considering that, it is actually necessary to build up a little more acquaintance with Putin now.

[You know that? The World Bank once reported that Russia's underground resources would reach $300 trillion.]

As his thoughts deepened, Alexei spoke out of nowhere.

When he unintentionally turns his gaze, he resumes speaking with a meaningful expression.

[Actually, I am here to inform you that one of the main purposes of Mr. Putin's visit to Korea is to establish cooperation in the development of underground resources.]

[··········.]

In an instant, sparks flew out of his head.

Perhaps he was conscious of my changed eyes, a faint smile appeared on Alexei's face.

[I want Chairman Jin not to miss that opportunity.]

[Then the reason why you want me to accompany you to the industrial site inspection tomorrow....]

[My guess is that you may want to discuss it in secret. Ah! By the way, it is not meant to jointly develop oil and natural gas, so keep that in mind.]

Even me, I do not even expect the possibility of joint development of major resources such as oil and natural gas.

There is no reason for Russia to give it up, which is nothing short of a lifeline.

Then, obviously, we would like to discuss the development of other mineral resources, but there is no reason to hesitate because of its enormous strategic value.

No, rather, it should be said that another opportunity has come.

'The problem is that the tsar will show this temperament in the future...'

One concern was the incident in Crimea in 2014.

Russia unilaterally annexed Crimea, which was part of Ukraine.

As a result, Russia will be subject to sanctions from the international community, and it is unclear whether stable resource investment will be possible in the future complicated international situation.

'Well, the European side was also oblivious to the sanctions later on, so what...'

Suddenly, it flashed through my mind.

At first, various international organizations expelled Russia from Europe, which strongly participated in sanctions.

However, after a few years, they secretly restored it and tried to bring Russia back into the international community.

It is said that the backlash against American unilateralism played a big role, but is that the only reason?

I think Russia's resources were more influential than that, and considering that, there's no need to worry about the Crimean crisis.

‘It is said that none of the mineral resources on Mendeleev’s periodic table are not buried in Russian soil. Moreover, in such a close relationship with Putin, wouldn't it be foolish to pass up such an opportunity?'

******

[Korea's economic growth is truly astonishing.]

The next day, Putin inspected major industrial complexes and exclaimed over and over again.

This is already the fifth place.

Nevertheless, the government officials almost became weeping when they saw him saying that he wanted to inspect another place rather than getting tired.

[Chairman Jin is not tired?]

A question suddenly came to me as I followed him without thinking.

If it's me and I'm not tired, is it a person?

However, he is holding on to the thought that he doesn't want to show his tiredness in the lively yard like that as he is a guest right now.

[Fine. But it seems that you have already visited all the planned places?]

[I'd like to visit one more place, can't we?]

At that remark, our government department staff showed a sign of perplexity.

For a smooth inspection, you have to schedule a visit in advance, but it was burdensome to ignore that and come in.

The eyes of the public officials toward me were desperate and desperate.

[Where do you want to go?]

I slowly ran out of luck.

Then he ridiculously mentioned the automobile factory.

[I want to visit the Hyeonu Automobile Factory.]

“I’m sorry, but the situation at Hyeonu Motors is a little bit different right now due to a labor dispute.”

A government official who heard the words next to him intervened and expressed his displeasure again.

What immediately came to mind was the Ssangwoong Automobile Plant that we acquired this time.

I thought that there would be no reason to insist on Hyeonu in the yard where everything is an automobile factory anyway.

“Then I’d rather take you to Pyeongtaek.”

“If it is Pyeongtaek...”

“That’s right, the Ssangwoong Motor Factory is in Pyeongtaek.”

Officials from the government were at a loss for words.

As soon as I tell the truth to Putin, he looks at me with wide eyes.

[Did Jaewoo take over an automobile company?]

******

“Welcome to visit.”

After Putin's visit, Ssangwoong's car went into a riot.

A VIP visit would be a problem, but the disruption to the operation would have been a burden for the plant manager.

Even so, the factory manager's expression was not so dark because of the fact that the inspection was led by me as the chairman.

[The scale of the factory is huge.]

After looking around the factory for a while, Putin showed a strange expression.

It seems that they are greedy for an advanced system that cannot even be compared with their own country.

He must have felt that he was now in a position to take responsibility for the country.

[Why don't we just move in one car?]

After the inspection, as I was heading to the car, Putin looked at me and spat out words.

A serious expression that somehow doesn't look the same as before.

After a brief conversation with government officials, I finally got into the vehicle assigned to him.

[As I was looking at that factory, I suddenly thought of that. I think that cooperation between the Jaewoo Group and our Russia does not necessarily have to be limited to the field of military affairs...]

[··········.]

Suddenly, I remembered what Alexei had said.

Russia's underground resource development.

Maybe you want to talk about it now?

However, the words that were spit out exceeded my expectations.

[What if Jaewoo also built an automobile factory in Russia?]

[··········.]

[If that happens, I think it will be of some help to the Russian industry, which is crawling at the bottom...]

[In the current situation, that seems to be a bit difficult. Ssangwoong has not yet entered the normalization stage in Korea.]

[Even so, if it is Chairman Jin's ability, it will be possible to normalize soon, right? And if you are willing to enter the Eastern European market in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have at least one factory in Russia, right?]

As a bridgehead for the Eastern European market, Russia is suitable.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

If it is, historically, Hyeonu Motors also established a factory in Russia.

By the way, if you look at the repeated emphasis, it doesn't seem like it's just being said, but this situation is a bit difficult.

[If Jae-Woo sets up an automobile factory in Russia, I will give you a present.]

[··········.]

[The opportunity for Jaewoo to officially participate in the mineral resource development that the Russian government is currently conducting...]

[Where would the factory be located?]

[··········.]

Before he could even finish his words, he tried to change his stance.

Perhaps embarrassed, Putin smirks and says it again.

[See you soon in Russia. Ah! This time, I wish I had more time to come. By the way, salmon fishing isn't something you do because you're running out of time.]

[Let's make a schedule as soon as possible.]

Putin looked satisfied with the words.

The situation in which I received a great gift that I did not expect.

As he tries to calm his pounding heart, he continues the conversation again.

[Oh, the hypersonic anti-ship missile development project we talked about yesterday. It seems like a waste of time to start doing that at the end of the year, what do you think of Chairman Jin?]

[··········.]

[Honestly, this is not the first time Jae-woo and we are doing business together. So, let's get rid of unnecessary processes and start right away.]

Looking at the rush of work, it seemed that his heart was in a hurry.

Actually, Russia's naval power is extremely inferior compared to the US.

Considering that asymmetric weapons are the only way to overcome it right now, it's not uncommon.

[Hmm······.]

However, we still have an important issue of securing a budget.

It's not that the giant is ignorant of that, and it seems to induce self-development for some reason.

Well, that's what it is in the end.

After all, if even our president has approved it, the passage of the budget will not be a problem, so I would rather develop it on my own and get the money later.

In fact, it will not be difficult to pass the budget as hypersonic weapons are included in the category of strategic assets.

Moreover, considering that the ruling party accounts for the majority of the National Defense Commission, the probability of passage is almost 100%, and it is not unreasonable to cover the development cost of only 100 billion won in advance.

[I'll be busy again for a while.]

Putin smiled brightly at that.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, the moment I saw that smile, a rather plausible thought crossed my mind.

‘Why don’t you just use this opportunity to create a missile development center in Thales? After all, when you start developing a fighter, you have to prepare armaments, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to pack it up for that time, right?'

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-76
