I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 120

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (120)
“If you keep acting like this, it will be difficult.”
“It’s America that’s in trouble, not us. Why don’t you mind other people’s business?”
This is California, USA.
The American defense company Martin Marietta continued its war of nerves with the U.S. government.
Who benefited the most from South Korea’s attack on Pyongyang? The prevailing opinion is that the real winner was not South Korea, which achieved national unification, but Martin Marietta.
That’s understandable, as Korea spent $600 million on military spending in this war.
Of that, $370 million was paid to Martin Marietta.
The problem is that this is not the end,
As the cutting-edge weapons developed by Martin Marietta demonstrated tremendous firepower in actual combat, many countries showed interest in purchasing them.
A growing number of countries are signing the Treaty on Banning Cluster Munitions, and Europe is legally banning investment in military companies.
But the defense industry laughs at that. The peace the world seeks is an empty shell and war is the reality.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to reduce their nuclear weapons?
As the South Korean president pointed out, the United States and the Soviet Union only shouted that they should reduce their nuclear weapons first, but they did not give up a single nuclear weapon.
This is reality,
But are we not going to invest in defense industry and buy weapons?
Martin Marietta scoffed at European sanctions.
“You will end up buying our weapons. Let’s see if you can still call for world peace even after the war.”
Would a U.S. president who is pushing for a ban on nuclear proliferation and arms reduction leave such a company alone?
President Hubert Humphrey also judged that it was necessary to crack down on these defense industries in order to reduce Korea’s military spending.
Although administrative measures were taken to restrict arms exports to individual companies, Martin Marietta resisted fiercely.
“It would be a problem if the US government acted like this!!”
“Is America a communist society?!! Everyone has the right to do business freely!!”
“If America behaves like this, we will move our headquarters!!”
The U.S. defense industry is a vested interest group that accounts for 3% of the nation’s GDP.
If they escape sanctions and go abroad, the United States will also suffer a major blow.
The biggest problem is that America’s national security is in their hands, and it is no longer a secret that F-15 technology was leaked to Korea.
Is it wrong to bring it to Korea and sell it because the US won’t buy it?
From the U.S. perspective, it is a security threat, but companies are simply selling their products to customers who are willing to buy them through legal procedures.
The same goes for the cluster bomb issue, Europe is now insulting the US defense industry as a group of devils and blocking investment through law.
So what should the US government do?
If Europe hits American companies, will America hit them back?
It is the job of the US government to open the way for cluster bombs to be sold, but President Hubert Humphrey is talking nonsense about “peace.”
While the defense industry is being pressured to reduce Korea’s military spending, will the companies listen to such talk?
Korea is now the largest customer for the U.S. defense industry, and it can’t even receive investment from Europe. If you can’t do business in Korea, aren’t you just telling them to die?
Martin Marietta declared war on US government sanctions.
“We will build a factory in Korea and export cluster bombs to the whole world.”
“If you can stop it, try to stop it. For countries that cannot make nuclear weapons, the weapons we make can be an alternative to protect the country.”
This is why the Korean president was able to stand tall in front of the United States.
Europe and the United States have labeled defense contractors as the world’s evil, but Korea is supporting them.
Is it time for the United States to idly call for world peace and the prohibition of nuclear proliferation?
President Hubert Humphrey’s ‘peace’ pledge was so far removed from reality that American businessmen flocked to Korea, which was pursuing reality.

“Your Majesty, this way.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I entered the airport guided by company officials.
He is scheduled to leave for Iran soon. The Iranian government, moved by the overwhelming victory of South Korea in the Korean War, requested support from South Korea.
Iran’s Pahlavi dynasty chose to be pro-Western and pursue reform and openness, but it came to power through a military coup and has a short history, so it would not be surprising if it collapsed at any time.
So, the obsession with overwhelming power,
This time I plan to connect Martin Marietta with Iran.
It would be good for Korea if large corporations provided cutting-edge weapons only to Korea, but isn’t that not the case from the companies’ perspective?
A company’s best interest is to have many customers, and if Korea takes such pro-business actions, American defense companies will continue to invest in Korea.
How can we ensure greater profits for businesses?
This time, I have designated the L-1011 passenger plane developed by Martin Marietta as the presidential plane.
Martin Marietta has now expanded its business beyond weapons development into the aviation sector.
Boeing has a firm grip on passenger aircraft all over the world right now, and removing the stone is not an easy task.
“Martin Marietta? What kind of aircraft do those guys who make weapons build?”
“Those guys make their money with people’s blood, so there’s no need to buy them airplanes.”
This is how the world views Martin Marietta.
The L-1011 passenger plane is almost noiseless compared to the Boeing 727 and no airframe errors have been found.
So why is the world market ignoring L-1011?
Is Martin Marietta’s image as an evil force that instigates wars around the world a bad one?
That makes sense, but the biggest problem is that there is not enough promotion.
If Boeing is to break into the tight-knit aviation market, a celebrity needs to fly the L-1011, but who would that be?
Europe now sees me as a Korean dictator and a great demon king who terrifies the world, but what if the aircraft chosen by this great demon king is the L-1011?
Isn’t a dictator someone who is more serious about his own safety than anyone else?
It is only natural that the world would pay attention to the aircraft chosen by such a dictator.
Martin Marietta is also betting his life on this project.
According to the Central Intelligence Agency’s investigation, it is known that the company that supplied the engine for this one plane was changed and that it even had four test flights.
Well, it’s a passenger ship that the Korean president will be riding on, so what if an accident happens along the way?
A real flight where there can be absolutely no mistakes,
The business people who had to be evaluated were very nervous, but I, as a consumer, took my time and looked around the inside of the plane.
“I think the cargo space is a little small?”
“Huh? The cargo hold?”
“Yes, is there a reason why you did this?”
“Ah… that’s… .”
The company official hurriedly gave an explanation.
When it comes to passenger aircraft, customer convenience is important, but the profitability of carrying luggage in the cargo hold cannot be ignored.
But this is the presidential plane, so shouldn’t the focus be on the president’s comfort rather than profitability?
So, I nodded my head, thinking that this is how it was modified.
“I like these super-luxury passenger planes, but I think a more practical plane wouldn’t be bad either.”
“Then should we modify it like that?”
“No, I will buy one more. Please make a passenger plane that fits the practicality.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
So I bought another passenger plane.
This model has a takeoff weight that is 4,000 kg higher than the existing model, and a new engine has been installed to match the weight.
In this way, I acquired three passenger planes, including the ones I already had, and took them to Iran with 1,600 escort troops and businesspeople.
Has any president in human history ever left the country with such a commotion?
Moreover, with the strong title of ‘the world’s worst dictator’ attached to it, it was natural that public attention was focused on him.
For this alone, Martin Marietta has made his money back.
If even a dictator can ride it with peace of mind, isn’t its safety guaranteed? Moreover, since it flew 6,600 km to Iran, it has proven that long-distance flight is possible.
This is how I secured America’s largest defense contractor as a lifelong friend.
Making friends didn’t stop there.

Parabambam~papambam~
Doo doo doo doo~
This is Iran Shosheinaya Airport,
As the red carpet was laid out at the airplane entrance, the military band that had been there in advance began to play a congratulatory performance.
The South Korean president brought in three jumbo passenger planes. Doesn’t that give you a rough idea of how wealthy a country South Korea is?
Foreign correspondents covering the story from afar pressed their camera shutters with the mindset of not missing a single scene.
“Everyone, the President of South Korea has appeared. Will he bring peace to Iran? Or will it bring war?”
“Iran has agreed to buy $20 million worth of weapons this time. And next to the Korean president who supports this, there are officials from Martin Marietta, the largest military company in the United States. What does this mean?”
As the Korean president appeared, the broadcasting station announcers each pulled out the comments they had prepared.
Defense industry that doesn’t care about economic sanctions from Europe
And South Korea, which has embraced the defense industry, is adding Iran to this already uncomfortable alliance.
The South Korean president offered a handshake, but Iran’s Shah Pahlavi II opened his arms and invited a hug.
The queen, princes and princesses also bowed their heads to the South Korean president and paid their respects.
The welcoming ceremony begins in earnest,
Iranian soldiers lined up on both sides raised their guns high and began to sing a military song.
Take up your weapons~ We will defeat the devil’s thunder~
With the blood of justice ~ We write on our homeland ~
The heroes shouted, “Fight toward the flag of glory!”
To protect our glory~ Take up your guns~
Anyone who looks at it will see that it is far from peaceful.
Isn’t that natural, considering that the Pahlavi dynasty was a country that came to power through a military coup?
The South Korean president saluted, after which 1,200 South Korean soldiers began to march.
The South Korean military is a combat veteran who has experienced three major wars in the past 15 years, while the Iranian military, which is pursuing modernization, will receive various training from South Korean military advisors in the future.
The exchange between the two armies has only just begun,
The 600 businesspeople supporting Korea and Iran also had pleased expressions.
What impact will the coexistence of Korea and Iran have on the future order of the Middle East and the world?
Anyway, King Pahlavi II and the Korean president and their entourage moved to the palace, and foreign correspondents from around the world followed them.
Pahlavi II prepared a grand banquet for the invited guests, and before the main event began, he gave a speech pledging eternal friendship between the two countries.
The first to take the microphone was Pallavi II.
Pahlavi II made a series of statements aimed at world opinion.
“Someone said that my way of governing is too dictatorial.
But under my rule, all women in Iran have the right to vote, and at night they wear skirts and go to nightclubs and dance freely. Shiite clerics accuse me of undermining Islamic values, but according to their logic, women should not have the right to vote or wear skirts.
Which one is the dictator who oppresses the citizens?
The same goes for Korea. Does President Park Sang-geun here look like a dictator? To me, he looks like a hero who gave the gift of wealth, military power, and peace to Korea, which was suffering from poverty under Japanese colonial rule.
Order is necessary to preserve peace and freedom.
President Park Sang-geun and I are only maintaining that order. A country that criticizes that as dictatorship will eventually be filled with disorder and chaos.
Korea and Iran will go their own way, no matter what criticism they face in the future. Today is the day to confirm that pledge, and I would like to ask President Park Sang-keun today to make Korea an eternal friend of Iran.”
After finishing his speech, Pahlavi II raised his glass.
The Korean president also responded to that,
Declarations by the leaders of the two countries followed.
“I would like to formally ask the President of Korea. Will you be Iran’s eternal friend?”
“That’s what I was hoping for.”
As the two leaders clinked glasses, South Korean and Iranian politicians,
And hundreds of businessmen applauded and cheered.
Considering its recent actions, South Korea should be isolated internationally, but instead, it is expanding its influence. South Korea has paid Iran the promised $100 million in loans and $30 million in weapons aid.
Iran begins economic development as planned,
Korea’s influence in the Middle East has become more solid than ever before.
