Chapter 388

In the data created by Team Leader Jeong Ki-hong, the cases of military abduction and military irregularities that have been revealed so far are clearly arranged.

When he was in school, he was famous for making good PPT, but his skills haven’t rusted yet.

But even if the quantity is too much, it is too much.

Body armor that can be pierced by bullets, combat boots with dropped soles and water leaks, combat uniforms with inflated costs, battle hats made in China that are faked as domestic ones, rifles with falsified test and evaluation reports, tank parts with forged test reports, self-propelled artillery parts cheating used ones with new ones, design flaws armored vehicles, sonars that don’t work, etc.

Etc.

Here is not the end. The budget was also different.

He embezzled R&D expenses for missiles, robbed fighter maintenance costs, and took bribes from companies that supplied food supplies.

A case of wasted budget would include 5 billion won for defense FPS development.

That’s all that’s revealed, but how many things haven’t been revealed?

Taehyung nodded his head.

“I can see why the military pays less. I have so much money to spend, how do I raise the salaries of the soldiers?”

I have money to buy rogue weapons, but I don’t have money to raise soldiers’ salaries. I have the money to build a golf course for the generals, but I don’t have the money to support the wounded soldiers.

After spending all the money to spend, is there any way to have money?

Budget is a matter of will. If it was absolutely necessary, I would have squeezed a dry towel to provide it, but I didn’t even feel the need for it.

“At this point, the soldiers are only emphasizing sacrifices for the country and the people.”

“I don’t do anything myself, and there is nothing easier than shouting patriotism in words.”

A nation’s growth rate will increase only by equitably and efficiently distributing limited resources. Conversely, decay is like rice worms that corrode the barns without you noticing it.

Corruption in the government was also a major factor in the decline of the once prosperous Greece. It will be possible to raise the potential growth rate by eliminating the corruption remaining in Korean society.

However, it is impossible to touch every government department individually to eliminate corruption. There is no manpower to do that, and the entire civil service society will protest.



The most efficient way is the worker bee white system.

If you thresh a wrong organization even to its soul, the rest of the people who see it will fix the mistake themselves.

“This is where the Ministry of National Defense is perfect.”

“why?”

“It has little connection with other ministries, and it is good to attract public attention.”

If the Ministry of Health and Welfare or the Ministry of Employment and Labor tell us about corruption, people will not pay much attention to it. But the Ministry of Defense is a different story. This is because it is an organization that most Korean men have been a part of at least once.

And as progressives value integrity and conservatives value security, legitimacy can also be secured.

“What are you going to do?”

“Isn’t it the fastest way to induce a whistleblower?”

A closed organization has limitations in looking in from the outside. The best thing to do is to file a complaint with someone who knows what’s inside.

Whistleblowers have a positive effect in promoting the public interest of society by notifying the illegality and corruption within the organization. Therefore, it is a principle to protect whistleblowers, but the reality is that they are kicked out after being turned around.

Especially the military is even worse. After making a whistleblower for nothing, he suffers from various lawsuits and lawsuits, or is embarrassed.

So don’t let that happen…

“There should be a sufficient price for what is just.”

* * *

“OTK Company will receive reports regarding military supply and military corruption. Depending on the importance of the issue, we will pay a reporting fee of at least KRW 100 million to KRW 2 billion and guarantee re-employment. We will also provide legal support in case of a lawsuit or lawsuit.”

The Ministry of National Defense was stunned by the sudden announcement of the head of public relations team Jeong Ki-hong.

In the meantime, there are countless politicians who have gone bankrupt because of their ties to Kang Jin-hoo. I did something wrong during the previous administration, so I tried to get along as best as possible, but Kang Jin-hoo pointed the blade in the face.

An emergency meeting was held at the Ministry of Defense. Minister Bae Yeon-bong shouted in shock.

“What’s happening? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Have you not seen the comments posted by Cyber ​​Command in the past?”

He also saw those comments.

It was no exaggeration to say that it was a feast of various pad ribs that could not be put into words. It was a cyber operation, and he did it while collecting taxes.

“At that time, the officers were arrested or stripped of their clothes.”

Of course, only a few have been punished, and most of them continue to work after changing positions.

“Maybe it’s time to go to the reserve army, isn’t it?”

“Or maybe you were angry because you offered too little money to make the game.”

“Why don’t you just give what you ask for now and leave it to the production?”

Anyway, things had already happened, and I couldn’t stay still.

The Ministry of National Defense has sent instructions to the entire army to prevent any whistleblowing. Immediately, training was stopped in all units and training was conducted.

The battalion commander and company commander gathered the soldiers in one place, and firmly educated them that whistleblowing is an act of betrayal to the military and undermining the discipline of the unit, and that if there is any complaint, the unit should deal with it first.

While Officer Jeong Hoon was in the midst of training, some officers and non-commissioned officers had other ideas.

‘If you report only one case correctly, it’s like winning the lottery.’

‘They even guarantee re-employment for the tip-off fee.’

‘Maybe it’s better to get paid after eating a bit of swearing…’

‘Isn’t it only the one who opens his mouth first?’

Defense Minister Bae Yeon-bong expressed his dissatisfaction in front of the media.

“If you sell the Ministry of National Defense as a corrupt group in this way, which soldier will serve with a sense of duty? If the morale of the military is lowered amid increasing North Korean provocations, it will pose a serious threat to national security.”

The Liberal People’s Party also agreed with this. Representative Na-Kyung Yeon spoke at the National Assembly.

“Security is life. With the military, we can be safe from the North Korean threat. President Kang Jin-hoo’s action to receive reports on military corruption is an act that weakens our military’s strength and benefits the North Korean military. The government should step in and make a statement and prevent this from happening.

do.”

But the public reaction was cynical.

-If you know that security is so important, you guys go to the army first.

-Hey, what kind of national defense are these guys who haven’t even been in the military?

-Typical chicken hawk~

-I remember a member of the National Assembly who was missing from the military in the past, holding a thermos and shouting that this is a cannonball.

-A class that exempts all sons or leaves them to comfortable positions, and tells the people to sacrifice only.

-Send all members of the National Assembly, ministers, and bastards to the forefront!

The Blue House and the New Political Party were in a difficult situation.

In the meantime, they have set out to eradicate corruption and corruption under the pretext of eradicating corruption, because if the defense corruption issue arises again, the government and the ruling party cannot avoid criticism.

Not only the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, but also the Military Mutual Aid Association and the Veterans Association were outraged. These organizations, made up of active-duty and veterans, have been colluding with the Defense Agency to secure various interests.

It has been pointed out as a hotbed of corruption several times, but it has not received much audit. But suddenly, Kang Jin-hoo took the problem and fell.

Director Lee Min-seok of the DAPA asked at an emergency meeting.

“What are some typical things that the DAPA could be caught by corruption?”

“There are so many things that I don’t know what to say first……”

“·················ogue.”

Prosecutor General Hwang Kyung-won secretly convened prosecutors.

The prosecution is a powerful organization as it has investigative and prosecuting powers, and politicians and government ministries are afraid of the prosecution.

However, the Ministry of National Defense, which operates its own judicial body, was an exception.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that all the people, whether conservative or progressive, are disillusioned with the various incidents and corruptions that occur in the military.

However, due to the nature of the divided country, the power of the Ministry of National Defense in Korea was strong, and no one thought to touch it despite numerous corruptions in the past.

However, Jin-hoo Kang stepped forward and aimed straight ahead.

Within the prosecution, there were various opinions about how to move in this situation.

“But wouldn’t the prosecution be able to investigate the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, which is under the Ministry of National Defense?”

Ahn Seong-nam, chief of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office, said.

“Then how about this?”

“Like what?”

“We are investigating private companies that are engaged in the military industry.”

While other government agencies purchase goods through the Public Procurement Service, the Ministry of National Defense purchases them separately through the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. It is easy to compare products such as ramen and biscuit, and since they participate in various companies’ bidding, there is little possibility of corruption.

However, combat uniforms, combat boots, backpacks, etc. are made in special specifications, so there are only a few manufacturers.

Interestingly, even if corruption is discovered, no sanctions are imposed. In principle, the contract with the company found to be corrupt should be terminated and prevented from participating in future bidding.

However, the DAPA made exceptions and continued to sign contracts. The reason was that there was no company that could produce according to the standard.

This inevitably leads to corruption. If you are determined and investigate, you will not be caught in one or two places.

“If we do, the Ministry of National Defense won’t sit still.”

“What if I don’t stand still? I can’t stand defense corruption, right?”

Prosecutor Ahn Seong-nam has never met Kang Jin-hoo in person, but he did meet his deputy chief Oh Tae-gyu. Thanks to this, he was able to get rid of the coin multi-level gangs, which had become a social problem, and received a great deal of media spotlight, and the prestige of the prosecution was greatly increased.

When Prosecutor General Hwang Kyung-won seemed to be troubled, Prosecutor General Ahn Seong-nam strongly persuaded him.

“My opponent is Jin-hoo Kang. After Kang Jin-hoo started, in a little while, the whole nation, no, the whole world’s attention will be focused on it. She has to hit it now. Investigation is momentum, momentum.”

At that time, Prosecutor General Hwang Kyung-won made a decision.

“Good. Set up an investigation team and investigate all the companies suspected of corruption.”

* * *

After Kangjin, her very existence was an issue maker. Again, the media around the world made a special mention of this event.

As it is rare among developed countries that have a conscription system, the conscription system in Korea has become an issue again due to this incident.

– All Korean men are in the military, right? That’s amazing.

– Even if it is conscripted, does it make sense to hire people with that salary?

-It’s strange that Jinhoo Kang was in the army with that money.

-Korea is a developed country enough, so why don’t they treat the military properly?

-If you are sacrificing for your country, you have to pay the price.

The Taegeukgi flew in front of the OTK Company headquarters. It was not surprising because it happened often, but this time many participants were wearing military uniforms.

A reservist general shouted into the microphone.

“I condemn the pro-North Red Gang Jin-hoo!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I condemn! I condemn it!”

Taek-gyu, who watched the scene, said to me.

“I see you as a redneck.”

“Hmm.” There is no way that the Ministry of National Defense will take this opportunity to root out the corruption. After all, everyone is in one place.

“It’s something that comes up all the time when investigating corporate accounting fraud or corruption.”

They say that when the economy is good, they hold back successful companies, and when the economy is bad, they say, why can’t we survive the economy first?

Taehyung tilted his head.

“Then when will the corruption investigation be conducted?”

“I mean don’t do it.”

The same goes for this.

He already predicted that there would be a backlash, citing a decrease in national defense power, a decrease in military morale, and a threat to security.

“There is a way to solve all of this.”

“How?”

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And aren’t reds to reds?”

next day.

I purposely got off the road and walked into the office. Again, the reporters who were waiting immediately ran and held out their microphones.

“What do you think?”

“What do you think about the concerns of the Ministry of National Defense and politicians?”

“Please say something to the people.”

I stopped walking and opened my mouth.

“If it is just and honest, there will be no problem in receiving reports. On the other hand, if a person commits corruption related to military service or military affairs, it should be thoroughly investigated and punished. Former President Park Si-hyeong said that the national defense corruption was an act of alienation and ordered intensive military reform.”

The person who said that was first arrested for various corruptions and is being tried.

Reporters kept asking questions.

“Do you think the military should be reformed?”

I said looking into the camera.

“There is only one reason to keep the blood of the people in your pocket, weaken your allies, and benefit your enemies. It is because they are spies or gangsters who threaten the security of the Republic of Korea. Therefore, protesting the investigation or defending military irregularities and military irregularities,

Those who oppose the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers should be thoroughly ideologically tested and questioned whether they are connected with the forces that follow communism or whether they have received orders from North Korea.”
