Chapter 197: North Korea's Wrath

(2nd Update)

In the end, Park so-hoon, a representative of North Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, bought the aircraft carrier Novorossiysk for more than 10 years of service for $630 million without any bargaining. Of course, what awaits Park so-hoon is the accusation of the board of directors of Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, of course, this black pot Park so-hoon will not carry it, when he said about South Korean President Roh Tae-woo's secret political funds, all the board members were silent.

Apparently they heard something they shouldn't have heard, and Park so-hoon, who told the secret, also made it clear that he wanted to drag them into the water together. The reason why Daewoo Heavy Industries Group has achieved today depends on the support of the South Korean Ministry of Defense and even the president, who cannot stand up and participate in the troubled waters of high-level politics, so they can only choose to keep their mouths shut. Swallowing this bitter pill is the best option for Daewoo Heavy Industries, if they don't want the board of directors to be restructured under political pressure.

As an old political enemy in the south, the rulers of the Kim family are even a little angry, why the leader of the socialist camp, who has always taken good care of him, would actually sell the aircraft carrier to his political enemy, and what is even more hateful is that the Soviet Union actually reached this deal unilaterally without knowing it, without estimating the feelings of the DPRK.

Apparently North Korea overestimated its political position, but the North Korean National Defense Committee protested to the Soviet embassy in North Korea, saying that it had gravely condemned the incident. They had better hope that the USSR broke off the deal, otherwise the Korean People's Army would bulldoze the South Korean capital, Seoul, with a million troops.

North Korea's behavior seems to be as unreasonable as a three-year-old child's play, and it is best to maintain a divided situation on the Korean Peninsula, regardless of who wants to unify the peninsula. will all be hit by the surrounding powers. Neither the USSR nor China. None of them wanted to see another Korean war break out.

Yanayev asked the foreign ministry to send a letter back 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, then the Soviet Union would unite with another neighboring power to impose sanctions on it. Yanayev also made it clear that it is a double sanction of political and military sanctions, which is also a warning to North Korea on the side, recognize who is your real master, and dance too happily will not end well.

Sure enough, this came out. North Korea died down. At this time, the Kim family in the 90s was not the crazy regime, they needed the assistance of the Soviet Union, although the Soviet Union at this time reduced the aid of North Korea, but they could still get a large amount of political aid for a small country.

But in terms of arms dealing, the Soviet Union became a dime a dozen, and Yanayev made it clear that he would not provide free military aid to North Korea, which means that if you want weapons, you have to pay for them yourself.

In desperation, Kim Chong-il, chairman of the DPRK's National Defense Commission, had to personally visit Moscow to meet Yanayev, and this time he chose to lower his posture. With his head bowed, he went to Yanayev's presidential office with his mistake in an attitude of admitting his mistake. By the time he pushed the door in, Yanayev was already waiting for Kim Jong-il to arrive. In his eyes. The fat man in front of him is not a political leader who is ridiculed by the world, but a guy who gritted his teeth and wanted to send him money.

"Please take a seat, Comrade Kim Chong-il, you are really tired of rushing all the way from Pyongyang to Moscow, you must be tired all the way." Yanayev told the staff around him to put a cup of tea for Kim Chong-il, and then waited for the other party to ask about the arms sales.

Sure enough, Kim Jong-il's words were to ask about the situation of the aircraft carrier Novorossiysk, and he asked, "Can the Soviet Union, for the sake of North Korea's face, withdraw arms sales to South Korean aircraft carriers?" ”

Yanayev sighed deliberately, "Do business is true to your word, we just sold an aircraft carrier, how can we ask the other party to send the aircraft carrier back?" ”

"Then we pay 100 million more than South Korea to buy the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier, okay?" Kim Chong-il asked anxiously, at this time he had been mad by the incident of South Korea's purchase of aircraft carriers, and did not consider the actual financial revenue of North Korea.

"Of course not." Yanayev rejected the other party, "Don't say whether you can buy an aircraft carrier, you didn't pay us the balance of our last arms sales transaction, why do you want us to sell you another aircraft carrier that you don't know when you will get the balance back?" At least Koreans still have a conscience and know how to pay back the full amount. ”

North Korea is notoriously in arrears on the balance of arms sales, so Yanayev would rather cut off military aid to the DPRK than sell large strategic weapons to the other side. The full amount is paid in a lump sum, and the money is paid in one hand and delivered in the other. We are also very fair and practical to our socialist allies.

Seeing that the Soviet Union was unwilling to sell the aircraft carrier to him, Kim Chong-il had no choice but to use another way to make the other side accommodating, "Then can you help the DPRK with some anti-ship weapons, you must know that if this aircraft carrier is towed back to South Korea, it will inevitably cause the situation on the Korean Peninsula to tilt, and then the socialist camp will destroy the Great Wall." ”

"There is no way to help, either." Yanayev unceremoniously refused the other party, "Unless you come up with genuine foreign exchange to buy, 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 sell, if you can get the money, we are willing to 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. And the vast majority of fighters of the DPRK Air Force are MiG-21, MiG-23, and a small number of MiG-29 and MiG-25. The obsession of the North Korean leadership with the MiG series led to the fact that the North Korean Air Force was an all-round MiG fighter.

Kim Chong-il is also considering the cost-effectiveness of this business at this time, they can't afford aircraft carriers, but North Korea can still pay for anti-aircraft carrier weapons, thinking of this, Kim Chong-il almost agreed to buy KH-29 air-to-ship missiles.

"It's an in-person full payment transaction." Yanayev reminded the other side, "We do not accept a part of the down payment and then the rest of the full amount." Moreover, you must settle the balance of the last arms sale before you pay for the anti-ship missiles this time. ”

Of course, Yanayev will not do too much, he said that he can donate a Soviet MiG-21 fighter that has been retired and mothballed to the North Korean Air Force, anyway, the other costs of this kind of thing may be more expensive than the plane itself, so he simply pushed the boat to do a favor.

Kim Jong-il, who received the benefits, immediately said that he would definitely pay all the money in one lump sum, but when the insatiable Kim Jong-il asked if he could sell the KH31 anti-ship ballistic missile on display at last year's Dubai Airshow to North Korea, he received a blank look from Yanayev.

KH31 series missile is a tactical missile developed by Russia in the 90s of the 20th century using the latest rocket rush engine, the rear section of the missile body is equipped with 4 rocket ramjet engines around the missile body, and the maximum speed of the missile is as high as M3 or more, so it has attracted the attention of Western countries.

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

"Wings stiffened, didn't they? Want to buy our latest ballistic missile technology to develop your own long-range strike weapons, right? I hope you can understand one thing, it was the Soviet Union and China that set up your Kim family to be the agent of North Korea, so we can also remove you from this position. ”

Kim Jong-il, who had seen through the small abacus, had no choice but to accept Yanayev's rebuke, and in the end Yanayev still sighed, did not say no words, but said to Kim Jong-il, "If you still need to buy other anti-ship weapons, I suggest you go to the socialist countries in the south, they also have the same exciting goods in their hands." It may be inferior to the KH29 in terms of power and accuracy, but there is no problem against South Korean destroyers. ”

On the surface, it seems that Yanayev is coming up with an idea for Kim Jong-il, but in fact he wants to unite with China to trap North Korea together, Yanayev said silently in his heart, Davarich, I have already introduced the wronged boss, and then it depends on your performance.
