Text Chapter 197 North Korea’s Anger

(Second update)

In the end, Park Soo-hoon, a representative of North Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, purchased the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier with a service life of more than 10 years for US$630 million without any bargaining. Of course, what awaits Park Soo-hoon is the accusation from the board of directors of Daewoo Heavy Industries Group. Of course, Park Soo-hoon will not take the blame. When he revealed the secret political funds of South Korean President Roh Tae-woo, all the board members were silent.

Obviously they heard something they shouldn't have heard, and Park Soo-hoon, who revealed the secret, also made it clear that he wanted to drag them into the water. The reason why Daewoo Heavy Industries Group has achieved today's achievements depends on the support of South Korea's Ministry of National Defense and even the president. It is impossible for them to stand up and participate in the muddy waters of high-level politics, so they can only choose to remain silent. Swallowing this bitter pill is the best choice for Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, if they do not want the board of directors to be reorganized due to political pressure.

South Korea's purchase of the aircraft carrier Novorossiysk caused a sensation in the entire North Korean government and opposition parties. As an old political enemy in the south, the rulers of the Kim family were even a little angry. Why did the leader of the socialist camp who always took good care of him actually sell the aircraft carrier to his political enemy? , and what’s even more hateful is that the Soviet Union actually reached this deal unilaterally without telling itself, without any estimate of North Korea’s feelings.

Obviously North Korea overestimated its political status, but North Korea's National Defense Commission still protested to the Soviet Embassy in North Korea, expressing their serious condemnation of this incident. They had better hope that the Soviet Union broke off the deal, otherwise the Korean People's Army would bulldoze the South Korean capital of Seoul with millions of troops.

North Korea's behavior seems as unreasonable as that of a three-year-old child playing house. Maintaining the situation on the Korean peninsula in a divided state is the best option. No matter who has the idea of ​​unifying the peninsula, they will be attacked by the surrounding powers. Neither the Soviet Union nor China wanted to see another Korean War break out.

Yanayev asked the foreign affairs department to reply to the North Korean government, telling Kim Jong Il, who was in the limelight, that if North Korea had the idea of ​​reunifying the peninsula by force, the Soviet Union would unite with another neighboring power to impose sanctions on it. Yanayev also clearly stated that it is a dual political and military sanction. This is also a side warning to North Korea, recognize who is your real master, dancing too much will not end well.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, North Korea ceased its activities. At this time, the Jin family in the 1990s was not the crazy regime. They needed assistance from the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union reduced North Korea's assistance at this time, they could still receive a generous amount of political aid for a small country.

However, when it comes to arms transactions, the Soviet Union has become very poor, and Yanayev has made it clear that it will not provide free military aid to North Korea. This means that if you want weapons, you have to pay for them yourself.

Forced by desperation, North Korea's Chairman of the National Defense Commission Kim Jong Il had to personally go to Moscow to ask for a meeting with Yanayev. This time he chose to lower his profile and go to Yanayev's president with his head lowered and an attitude of admitting his mistake. office. When he pushed open the door and walked in, Yanayev was already waiting for Kim Jong Il's arrival. In his eyes, the fat man in front of him was not a political leader ridiculed by the world, but a guy who gritted his teeth and wanted to give himself money.

"Please sit down, Comrade Kim Jong Il, I really bother you to go all the way from Pyongyang to Moscow. You must be tired along the way." Yanayev asked the staff around him to put a cup of tea for Kim Jong Il, and then Just waiting for the other party to ask about arms sales, as long as the North Korean leaders ask, Yanayev can convince them to pay for it.

As expected, Kim Jong Il's first sentence was to ask about the situation of the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier. He asked, "Can the Soviet Union withdraw its arms sales to the South Korean aircraft carrier for the sake of North Korea?"

Yanayev sighed deliberately, "In business, you have to keep your word. We just sold an aircraft carrier. How can we ask the other party to send the aircraft carrier back?"

"Can we pay 100 million more than South Korea to buy the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier?" Kim Jong Il asked anxiously. At this time, he was already crazy about South Korea's purchase of the aircraft carrier, without considering North Korea's actual financial revenue. .

"Of course not." Yanayev rejected the other party flatly, "Don't talk about whether you can afford an aircraft carrier. You didn't even pay us the balance of our last arms sales transaction, so why should we give it to you again? Selling an aircraft carrier where you don’t know when you will get the balance back? At least the Koreans have a conscience and know how to pay back the full amount.”

North Korea is famous for defaulting on the final payment of arms sales, so Yanayev would rather cut off military aid to North Korea than sell large strategic weapons to the other party. Want to buy? The entire amount is paid in one lump sum. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. We are also very fair and practical with our socialist allies.

Seeing that the Soviet Union was unwilling to sell the aircraft carrier to him, Kim Jong Il had to use another method to make the other party accommodating, "Then can you assist North Korea with some anti-ship weapons? You must know that if this aircraft carrier is towed back to South Korea, it will inevitably lead to The situation on the Korean peninsula is tilted, and the socialist camp will destroy the Great Wall. "

"There is also no way to assist." Yanayev refused the other party unceremoniously, "Unless you come up with genuine foreign exchange to buy it, we are willing to provide anti-ship weapons. It just so happens that we now have a batch of kh29 air-to-ship missiles ready to be sold. If you can afford it, we’ll sell it to you.”

The kh-29 air-to-ship missile, also known as the AS-14 small anchor missile, is an air-to-surface missile developed in the 1970s and entered service in the 1980s. It is a third-generation Russian-made tactical missile. These missiles can be equipped on many types of Russian-made fighter aircraft. . The vast majority of the North Korean Air Force's fighter jets are MiG-21s, MiGs, and a small number of MiG-29s and MiG-25s. The North Korean leader's obsession with the MiG series has led to the North Korean Air Force being exclusively MiG fighter jets.

Kim Jong Il was also considering the cost-effectiveness of this deal at this time. They could not afford the aircraft carrier, but if North Korea tightened their belts to pay for anti-aircraft carrier weapons, they could still pay for it. Thinking of this, Kim Jong Il almost agreed immediately. Want to buy kh-29 air-to-ship missile.

"This is a face-to-face, full-payment transaction." Yanayev reminded the other party, "We do not accept part of the down payment and then the remaining full payment. And you must clear the balance of the last arms sale before you come back. Pay for this anti-ship missile."

Of course, Yanayev would not go too far. He said that he could donate a retired Soviet MiG-21 fighter jet to the North Korean Air Force. Anyway, the other costs of selling such a thing may be more expensive than the aircraft itself. Just go with the flow and do a favor.

After receiving the benefits, Kim Jong Il immediately stated that he would definitely pay all the money in one lump sum. However, when the greedy Kim Jong Il asked if he could sell the kh31 anti-ship ballistic missile that was displayed at the Dubai Air Show last year to North Korea, he got It was Yanayev who rolled his eyes.

The kh31 series missiles are tactical missiles developed by Russia in the 1990s that use the latest rocket ramjet engines. The rear section of the missile body is equipped with four rocket ramjet engines surrounding the missile body. The maximum speed of the missile is as high as m3 or more, so it is very popular with Western countries. focus on.

"Don't think that I don't know what little calculations you have in mind, Comrade Kim Jong Il." Yanayev's voice became a little sinister, and it sounded chilling. Comrade Kim Jong Il, who stood in front of him, bore the brunt and became the target of Yanayev's rebuke.

"Have your wings grown stronger? Do you want to buy our latest ballistic missile technology to develop your own long-range strike weapons? I hope you can understand one thing. It was the Soviet Union and China who established your Kim family as agents of North Korea. Then we can also drive you out of this position."

Kim Jong Il, who had seen through the little abacus, had to accept Yanayev's rebuke. In the end, Yanayev sighed and did not say anything, but said to Kim Jong Il, "If you still need to buy it, For other anti-ship weapons, I suggest you look for the socialist countries in the south. They also have the same things that make you excited. They may not be as powerful and accurate as the kh29, but there is still no problem in dealing with South Korean destroyers. "

On the surface, it seems that Yanayev is advising Kim Jong Il, but in fact he wants to unite with China to trick North Korea. Yanayev said silently in his heart, Davarich, I have already introduced the enemy. Next, It depends on your performance. (~^~)
