I Will Stage A Coup D’état - Chapter 137



Only Noblemtl

EP.137 NBC (1)

Just as the thorny issue of disarmament was being somewhat resolved and they were about to turn their attention abroad, David Ben-Gurion, who had reached out to them through the Rothschilds, entered Pyongyang.

Ben-Gurion was a man with an eight-lane highway running through the middle of his head, giving the impression that he was a refreshing sight for the eyes of those who saw him.

“It is an honor to meet you, Prime Minister.”

“No, I am more than happy to see you, His Excellency Ben-Gurion.”

Strictly speaking, Ben-Gurion was not in a position to be addressed as Your Excellency, as he was the head of the Palestinian Jewish community, not the state.

But considering that he was the de facto head of the World Zionist Organization (WZO), there was no problem treating him on a par with a national leader.

I took Ben-Gurion to see the Institute for Energy for Human Peace.

“This is Dr. Heisenberg, the director of the research institute.”

“Heisenberg.”

Perhaps because he was kidnapped and forced to work, Heisenberg always had a grumpy attitude.

But since he brought his family and was treated the best, he grumbled but cooperated with the research.

We greeted the lab staff, half of whom were German scientists, and toured the nuclear development preparations.

Ben-Gurion looked astonished at the theoretical power of the nuclear bomb.

“150kt?”

It might be a bit surprising.

Because it has the power of 150,000 tons of TNT explosives.

“In reality, it will be much lower than that. There is a lot of energy loss in actual use.”

Considering that the actual power of Little Boy was 15kt, the power of the nuke we are preparing will be around that level.

Of course, even so, it was a weapon that could not even be compared to existing bombs.

Ben-Gurion asked me again, surprised.

“Are you really saying that you will share this weapon with us?”

“If the Jewish community provides scientists, capital, and technology, what could be difficult? We are prepared to share not only nuclear weapons but also much more.”

We lacked the capital, technology, and knowledge to push ahead with our own development.

Even the Soviet Union was diligent in stealing American technology, and the actual development alone took about four years.

If I tried to do this alone, I would have been torn apart.

“Thank you, Prime Minister. I will do my best to cooperate with the Zionist organization.”

Ben-Gurion did not mention the power of the Palestinian Jewish community, that is, Israel.

Instead, he promised to mobilize the Jewish power behind it.

What I wanted from the beginning was not Israel, but the Jewish power that supported it.

“Your Majesty, I feel reassured when I hear your promise. Did you say that the name of the new nation you are going to establish will be Israel?”

“That’s the idea.”

“If Israel is established as a state, it will be difficult to declare support, but we will implicitly provide convenience.”

“Thank you, Prime Minister.”

We shook hands firmly on the spot.

With this, the alliance between Korea and the United States was divided into two.

One is the security alliance with the Soviet Union.

The other is nuclear-sharing ally Israel.

Does that mean these two are truly allies?

That wasn’t it.

As we have made clear to the public, Korea’s only true ally is ourselves.

In any case, since we had secured the promise of Jewish cooperation, we would not fall far behind the Soviet Union in the nuclear development race.

Well, the safety device is secured.

I felt reassured that the nuclear weapons would be ready before it was too late.

Meanwhile, our military attaché dispatched to the United States sent an important report.

“Your Excellency, the United States has developed nuclear weapons. They have demonstrated their power at a test site in New Mexico in front of observers from various countries. As long as the United States monopolizes these weapons, we should not confront Washington recklessly.”

The nuke came out earlier than expected.

Considering that it was now mid-1946, the nuclear bomb appeared exactly one year later than the original.

Looking at the timing, we can see that the US’s nuclear development was not as late as expected.

“America already has nukes. Earlier than you might think.”

The United States will likely continue to have a monopoly on nuclear weapons for the next few years.

For a time, the balance of power was tilted toward Washington.

‘There won’t be any war in Italy for the time being.’

With the United States holding the nukes, there was little chance of Stalin challenging it.

The reason it is not zero is because Moscow may underestimate the power of nuclear weapons.

Anyway, it was a good picture for us.

Because for the time being, it was to our advantage if there was no war.

In that sense, we also needed to take a breather and strengthen our power.

Since nukes will be secured soon, our focus was on the means of delivery.

The best means of delivery in modern times was still the strategic bomber, but it was too expensive to build.

If you want to compete on cost-effectiveness, Rocket is the best.

Although Wernher von Braun went to America, there were quite a few rocket engineers in Germany who could replace him.

We brought in great engineers from Germany, including Walter Dornberger, Arthur Rudolf and Eugen Senger.

They weren’t as great as von Braun, but they were more than capable of building the new rockets we wanted.

Since most of them came in through kidnapping, they were not very cooperative with us for the first few months.

But when they brought their families and were promised huge amounts of research funding, they changed their minds.

“The Republic of Korea has no intention of sparing any expense in the doctors’ research.”

“If that’s true, then first of all, let me act freely.”

“I’ll listen to that one by one. For the time being, please consider me under guard.”

With the help of these rocket engineers, we were able to reverse engineer and reproduce the rockets we had taken from the Nazis.

Rockets that could surpass the Nazis were also under development, but it took some time for them to become practical.

I gave two tasks to Eunseong, which was in charge of mass production of the rocket, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, which was in charge of development, and the Ministry of the Army, which was in charge of ordering it.

One is an intercontinental ballistic missile.

To replace the strategic bomber force that we were unable to maintain, it was essential to possess ICBMs.

Another one is a submarine-launched ballistic missile.

When technology ran rampant, a means to covertly approach the enemy and unleash a barrage of missiles was needed.

That was a SLBM.

Our goal was just this.

Nuclear deterrence through acquisition of powerful nuclear delivery means.

Of course, for nuclear weapons to have a deterrent effect, someone has to be a scapegoat.

Of course, we were also preparing weapons to balance things out before nuclear deterrence was implemented.

The other two on NBC.

Biological and chemical weapons.

There were already biological weapons being prepared.

Anthrax, that is.

When I think about it, the most powerful biological weapon, no matter what anyone says, is anthrax.

Anthrax was a weapon worse than nuclear weapons in that it rendered the soil unusable for over 100 years once it was spread.

That’s why it’s nickname is the poor man’s nuclear weapon.

The Army set up a contagious disease laboratory where it tested a wide range of pathogens, including anthrax, Ebola, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid, smallpox, and typhus.

The actual holding quantity was not large.

That doesn’t mean their biological warfare capabilities weren’t great.

Production could be mass-produced in an instant if it was left to university research labs or companies within the empire.

We had, by our own assessment, the world’s fourth-best biological warfare capabilities.

A level slightly lower than that of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union.

This is because they didn’t spend money or time on biological weapons research, they could catch up quickly with time.

Preparations for chemical weapons were also fairly well done.

Originally, Korea’s chemical warfare capabilities were not that high, but thanks to the generous tree and Germany, they were able to obtain a considerable number of weapons.

Sarin, Tabun, and Soman were those.

These new poison gases were far more lethal than those used in World War I.

Of course, the quality is a bit lower than that of the later VX, but it is more than enough for use on the battlefield.

We have never really hidden our possession of these biological and chemical weapons.

Rather than being used for the original purpose, it was more of a warning not to touch something like this.

This was also part of the poisonous needle strategy that Daehan was pushing.

Although Chen Gongbo and the Japanese vassals did not know that nuclear weapons were being developed, they knew of the existence of chemical and biological weapons, which were open secrets.

So they also urged him to hand over the weapon.

In particular, Chen Gongbo, who felt threatened by the expansion of the Chinese Communist Party, desperately appealed for support.

“Isn’t there anything wrong with selling to China?”

Considering that the military power of the Chen Gongbo regime was not very strong, it might not be a bad idea to export chemical weapons.

When the intention to export chemical weapons was announced, the Foreign Minister of the Chen Gongbo regime, Chu Min-yi, immediately flew to Pyongyang.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words.”

Chumin bent his back several times.

“China and Korea are allies, so we should give them that much convenience.”

It was no secret that chemical weapons were being exported to China, and a few days later the Chinese were foaming at the mouth.

“The Korean imperialists are plotting to turn the continent into a land of death! The head of the comprador regime, Chen Gongbo, should apologize to the people of the continent and immediately dispose of chemical weapons!”

That doesn’t mean that Chen Gongbo would dispose of chemical weapons.

Then China started swearing at us and demanding that we stop selling more chemical weapons to the continent.

It was also a time when the Chinese bastards did that.

Once China had its hands on nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, it was certain that it would bow down to us again.

Nuclear weapons were a weapon that brought humility even to communists like China.

“Your Majesty, this matter cannot be overlooked. We must send a warning to the Chinese Communist Party for their rude attitude.”

Our military insisted that we show our strength, saying that China was making a fool of us by disarmament.

Even though he did not claim to have expanded his territory, he still had the habit of reaching for his sword whenever he had an excuse to dance in China.

That’s why I couldn’t trust these guys with my country.

‘I’d rather make it hereditary.’

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

But, what good thing about this place would I pass it on to you?

It was something I couldn’t do to my one-year-old daughter.

‘Well, in the long run, the answer would be to abolish the Yushin system.’

If we continue to maintain the dictatorship as it is now, who knows what kind of accidents the people who will inherit this immense power will commit.

They were still dangerous seeds of militarism that had not yet been completely drained.

“For now, leave it alone.”

“Yes? But, Your Majesty. If the Chinese take us lightly, the situation on the continent will be shaken.”

“owner.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“The problem is the economy. So stop talking nonsense.”

He didn’t add ‘you idiot’ like Clinton did.

But since they were my subordinates, I put up with it.
