Episode 297

New wind (6)

Although it was a fighter plane riddled with all sorts of defects, it was a fairly successful aircraft for one that had been built without any technical foundation.

Although there were several fatal problems, even they were somehow solvable.

“Hmm… … Viscount Yoon, the fighter jet we just received seems to be less powerful than we expected… … .”

“Huh, a fighter plane? What I transferred to you was not a fighter plane, but an ‘attack plane.’”

“… … ?”

Tesla’s new fighter jet, Shinpung-1, showed several rather disappointing aspects when viewed as a fighter jet.

That is why the Japanese Army also received the fighters, but when they saw that the fighters had more shortcomings than expected, they shook their heads and tried to refuse additional deliveries.

But here is the specialty of the Great Swordsman.

The mouth of the miracle that sold the country has opened.

“Attack aircraft… …?”

“Yes, an attack aircraft! While I was developing a new fighter, I analyzed the various achievements of the last Great War, and I thought it would be nice to have an aircraft that could provide close support to ground forces advancing toward enemy lines.”

“???”

Daegal Daegam suddenly emphasized a new concept called attack aircraft and forced the importance of attack aircraft into Ugaki’s head instead of the army.

“… … Do you understand?! In the upcoming battlefield of the future, the role of attack aircraft is just as important as that of fighters! Yes!”

“Hmm… … So?”

“So that’s why? After thinking about it carefully, I’ve come to the conclusion that what the Imperial Japanese Army needs right now is an attack aircraft.”

The explanation of the great sage continued.

His elegant speaking skills made Ugaki nod his head without realizing it.

But there was a fundamental problem that even his skills could not solve… … .

“But what the Army ordered was fighters, not attack aircraft.”

Yes, that’s right.

It was true that attack aircraft would play a leading role in the coming battlefield of the future, but what the Japanese Army wanted now was fighters, not attack aircraft.

Wasn’t the original name of this project the Japanese Army’s New Fighter Development Project?

“I don’t understand why His Majesty the Count is suddenly bringing in an attack aircraft. To be honest, I feel like the Count is forcing his company’s products on the army… … .”

“Haha, forced sale? This is just a part of my loyalty to the Empire of Japan.”

“Loyalty? Then, can I take this as a personal gift from Count Yun…?”

Ugaki didn’t miss the opportunity to get a free fighter jet from the Great King and took a stab at it.

But just as many things in the world change, the laws of physics do not change unless the universe is turned upside down.

Even if the world were turned upside down, there was no such thing as a free lunch in Daegal Daegam’s dictionary.

“No. This attack plane and fighter plane were originally made as a set. So I think we should charge more.”

“… … ?”

Ugaki was left speechless at the sight of the Great Master suddenly casting the spell.

“All the Army needs is fighter jets… … .”

“Aren’t we going to introduce it later anyway? So rather than paying a lot of money to introduce it later, it’s better to get it together at a reasonable price.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“I won’t give you a bad price.”

“Write… … .”

Ugaki’s expression was not very good as he took on the experimental work under the pretext of an attack aircraft.

If he were just any other tycoon, he would have flatly rejected him, telling him not to talk nonsense, but he couldn’t do that to the great magnate who was close to the highest power in the Japanese Empire.

If I talked nonsense here, I would have to take off my clothes right away.

“… … Then let’s do that.”

“Okay. Then I’ll make a great fighter plane that will break the pride of the Navy in no time!”

“… … Please.”

Ugaki had no choice but to accept the forced marriage of the great lord Daegal while crying and eating mustard.

* * *

After calming the situation down to some extent, Daegal went straight to Tesla’s laboratory.

There was no sword in his hand, but his face had long since become as ferocious as a demon.

-bang!

“You damn old Westerner! If you don’t hand over the fighter jets right now, you and I will die today!”

The sound of the Great King kicking open the door was so loud that a flock of pigeons, the symbol of peace, flew up in surprise at the sight of the Great King’s violent appearance.

Thanks to that, the previously quiet lab suddenly became chaotic and chaotic.

“Western bastard! Where are you!”

“What’s so noisy?”

As the great master Daegal started causing a ruckus, Tesla, who had been napping in the laboratory, walked out, scratching his belly.

“Hey, who is this?”

“This damn old man… … !”

The great tyrant immediately grabbed Tesla by the collar and shook him violently.

“You damn old man! Do you know how much damage you’ve caused me?!”

“Oh my, why are you suddenly doing this!”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?! Because of that fighter plane you made… … .”

The Great General, who had lost a lot of money due to the failure of the fighter plane designed by Tesla, rolled his eyes and nagged Tesla.

But Tesla just laughed and said,

“Heh heh, why is that my fault? There was nothing wrong with my design.”

“What?! Even this guy… … !”

“No, why was I wrong? I drew up the blueprints to the best of my ability when they asked me to make a high-performance fighter jet, so why is that my problem?”

From Tesla’s perspective, he did everything he was told to do, but he couldn’t make it properly when the time came and blamed himself for it, which he couldn’t understand.

“I heard he was a famous inventor, so I brought him to America, where he was rotting away in his cellar, and fed and clothed him well, but it was all a bubble. It was a bubble!”

“What? Bubbles? What do you mean by bubbles?”

“You’re saying that your skills are exaggerated!”

As the words disparaging Tesla’s skills came out of Daegal’s mouth, Tesla’s relaxed face hardened.

“Are you doubting my skills right now?”

“Then! Can you say that you don’t have any doubts even after seeing this appearance and this state?!”

“… … .”

Tesla was always confident in his own abilities.

In his prime, he used to make a lot of money with his uniquely smart head, and he also created quite a few inventions with his own hands.

Although he is currently living a difficult life due to his failure in financial management, he still considers himself a genius.

Because other people around him praised him, and Tesla himself thought that he was clearly different from other people.

That is why Tesla had great pride in his own shining talent.

“That’s why I said that people don’t just listen to rumors… … Hey, tsk.”

“… … .”

But now.

Our great lord tore Tesla’s pride to shreds.

Even when he was fighting with his old rival and friend, Edison, over direct current and the like, his talent was acknowledged!

He was ignored by a guy who had no knowledge of engineering and only had money in his pocket.

If it was the case that someone took money from his wallet that made the great tycoon angry, it was the case that it was the case that Tesla was angry when someone ignored him.

“What are you staring at so intently?”

“What do you know that you are insulting my designs?”

“I don’t know anything! But I don’t need to know how good or excellent your design is! All I need to know is how good the product that comes out of that design is!”

“… … .”

Tesla couldn’t bring himself to continue speaking.

Although he was furious at the words of the great lord who trampled on his pride so recklessly, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Of course, he had his excuses too.

“As I said from the beginning, I have no experience with these types of weapons, so that’s why… … .”

“What does that matter? I brought you here with a lot of money because you’re the best in America! And I didn’t kidnap you, I explained everything to you in advance, and you came with me!”

“That’s… … but… … .”

This was Tesla’s first time and he knew nothing about weapons development.

But since I already received the money and came to Japan.

Tesla could not have made a stronger excuse, because such an excuse would have only further degraded him.

“… … .”

“Am I wrong?!”

Tesla’s hands were trembling.

Although he clearly knew in his head that what the great lord said was right, his heart was seething.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

“… … .”

“It seems like there isn’t one. Well, if you have any sense of shame, you should do that!”

“… … .”

The great sage continued to scratch Tesla’s insides until the very end.

“Give me three months, and within that time I will create blueprints and full-size mockups of fighter planes for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force.”

“… … .”

“And this time, even if you’re not the best, please make sure you meet the requirements the military requires.”

After conveying all the instructions, Daegal Daegam added a few words with a cold expression on his face as he left.

“I don’t know if I can meet the requirements anyway.”

-bang!

The door to Tesla’s laboratory closed and Tesla was alone again.

There were many pigeons around him, but as always, he was alone.

“… … .”

Because of his terrible personality of being eccentric, dogmatic, stubborn and uncompromising, he had lost relationships with many people or made enemies.

That’s why Tesla’s later years were quite lonely.

I often spent time alone, without family, acquaintances, or even friends, and I lived a more comfortable life with pigeons than with people.

Thanks to that, I think my fiery personality from when I was younger has lessened a bit and I’ve become a bit more laid-back…

Today, his old personality, which he had forgotten, raised its head again from beyond the abyss.

Tesla, whose pride was trampled upon by the great general whom he had looked down on, picked up his pen in anger.

* * *

“Wow… … We finally get to operate fighter planes.”

“Well, we don’t have a pilot yet, so we’re just a bunch of barley we borrowed.”

“That’s true.”

Headquarters of the Korean Independence Army in Yanji, Manchuria.

Today, the headquarters was in an uproar because of the new fighter jet sent by the Great General of the South.

The new fighter planes that Daegal Daegam sent to Yeongil were about 10, and they were the same type of planes that he had supplied to the Japanese military as attack aircraft.

“Hey… … What is this? It’s really strangely shaped.”

“I heard that it was made by haphazardly putting in all the latest technologies.”

“Is that so? Then it must be a good thing.”

“It’s not so much a good product… as it is a product that hides its defects by packaging it as the latest technology.”

“Huh? Is it a defect?”

Kim Jo-jin, who was looking around the fighter jet, was startled and looked back at Commander Kim Dong-sam.

“So you’re saying this fighter jet is defective?”

“Well, if you look at it that way, yes.”

“What on earth is this defect… … .”

“If the fuselage is hit, there is a high probability that the engine or machinery will shut down immediately.”

“Wouldn’t that be a big problem?”

“This is a big deal.”

As Kim Dong-sam said that, he quickly removed the cloth covering the fighter plane.

Then, a silvery, shiny metal plate appeared underneath.

“So, it seems that the items sent to us by the Great King have been slightly improved.”

“yes?”

-Chubby.

Kim Dong-sam lightly tapped the plane’s fuselage with his hand.

Then the heavy metallic ringing returned.

“They say that they increased its defensive capabilities by replacing the original wooden parts with metal ones, and added armor plates to the main parts to increase its survivability.”

“ah.”
