054: We are like that (Paid starts here)
“Thank you, it’s thanks to Mark for caring about me.”
“Well, it’s because they worked hard. It wasn’t that I didn’t work hard at first, but when I heard that I was going to take the certification exam, my eyes lit up. Koreans are a bit strange.”
“Originally yes.”
It must be because they have a habit of competing with each other over a small pie because they are struggling to make ends meet.
That’s why I don’t even look at domestic demand.
It’s a red ocean that can’t even compete, and what should we do by leaving money for the poor people?
“I want these six people to be officially hired by the Corps of Engineers before they return home.”
“Hey, what’s up? Not subcontracting to me, but formally hiring.”
“It is because of the lack of manpower. A huge number of heavy equipment is coming from Thailand these days, so we’re dying too.”
“Thailand?”
“Come to think of it, there are also Korean companies involved. A company called Hyunsan Construction or something is building a highway, but they say heavy equipment breaks down one by one every day because of the heavy rain. They are all coming our way.”
“Oh, yes? It’s a big deal. Then you should help.”
Hey, Chairman Wang keeps his promise.
I wondered when the heavy equipment would break.
“CS, hiring is OK.”
“I’ll send the next successful candidates, not this one.”
Only those who passed the first round will be sent to the US, but additional successful applicants will continue to come out, so you can promise.
“Okay, okay.”
It would be great if you hired me.
Our staff should gain experience in the US Corps of Engineers, and look at heavy equipment in advance to choose what to pay.
It was because Chairman Wang decided to cut the ship because he could not take over if he had to fix it neatly.
“Oh, and look at this. It’s really great.”
Mark suddenly held out something.
“what’s this? A chessboard?”
It was embarrassing to call it a chessboard.
The lattice pattern of mahogany and teak was like looking at a 21st century end-grain cutting board.
Besides, the chess pieces carved out of brass and stainless steel were really cool.
“It is more like a work of art than a chessboard. It was to the point where the certification exam supervisor said he wanted to pay for it.”
“What, was this the successful applicant’s work?”
Did you have to cut a chess piece with a machine tool to pass? Isn’t the difficulty also a joke?
“I am not a passer. I couldn’t take the written test at all because I didn’t know English. everyone was sorry CS I’m showing you because I want you to pay attention.”
“What? Don’t you know English?”
What are you talking about? A brilliant college student couldn’t take the written test because he didn’t know English?
“That’s why… Achilles has a cut off employee. It suffered shrapnel injuries while transporting it.”
“Mr. Jaehong?”
“Anyway, he’s young and quiet, but handling machine tools is almost a master’s level. It’s a waste of talent, so I’m letting you know.”
No, did Shim Jae-hong have this kind of talent?
I told you not to come to the scene because I’m going to send you back, but you went to work at the repair base?
I put off the runway site for a while and headed to the repair base.
Since it is the territory of the Corps of Engineers, it has been forbidden to enter.
It’s because I’m a little embarrassed when people talk about technology leaks.
However, today was an exception.
**
“Sim Jae-hong.”
“Oh, boss.”
“What are you doing here? I told you to focus on recovering your body when you gave me a job in Jinhae.”
“I am fine. And the military surgeon also said that it is good to move your body little by little.”
Somehow, the atmosphere has changed a bit from before.
The calm tone is still the same, but should I say that it has become more reliable?
“Are machine tools that much fun?”
“Yeah, it’s really fun. I’ve only heard of lathes and mills, but I can make anything I can think of.”
No, it’s not that you can make everything you can think of, you’re special.
Cutting a piece that is not rotationally symmetrical like a chess piece like this with a machine tool is not an ordinary ability.
It is only possible if you draw a 3D image in your head.
It’s like saying world-class sculptors are bringing out the Venus hidden in marble.
“This queen chess piece was made by Mr. Jaehong, right?”
“Yes, I made it.”
“Why did you make it this way when there is an original shape?”
She wasn’t the usual queen.
It was the image of a woman praying with her hands folded.
Mark, of course, couldn’t help but admire.
Even if I were to copy this as it is, I didn’t think I would be able to do it.
No, I wondered if it was possible to cut such a piece with a machine tool.
It seemed that it would be difficult to cut better than this even if it was cut with a 21st century 3D CNC.
“I was confused because the shape of the king and the horse were similar. And if it was the queen, it seemed like she would have prayed for the king who went out to the battlefield.”
It wasn’t just the Queen.
Even the phone is not a simple circle, but carved like a soldier holding a small spear.
“Did this chessboard be transformed that way?”
“Yes, the yew and cedar branches that are thrown away during logging are too much of a waste. If you cut it into pieces and stick them together, it will look like a checkerboard…”
“Shouldn’t you have made a checkerboard or checkerboard? Then it would have been nice to spend time with my colleagues.”
“Because we cannot sell Go boards to American soldiers. Didn’t the boss say that exporting is the answer to becoming rich?”
“!!!!!”
Occasionally, while working at a company, there are times when I see my colleagues growing up in real time.
It is when the desperation and the given situation are exquisitely harmonized and work synergistically, regardless of academic background or family.
“You were trying to prove it to me.”
“……”
“I said I definitely wouldn’t cut it, though.”
“It’s not that I didn’t trust the boss. Just, I can move, I can work hard.”Read at noblemtl
Jaehong trembled and tried to lift his left arm, which did not rise above his shoulder.
“Jae Hong, it can’t be.”
“president! I will work hard. No, you can.”
“There are not enough things to say. You have to do well.”
“president…”
“Go away. to America. Mr. Jaehong is not the one to stay here. Go and learn properly.”
“… yes?”
“Learn anything, whether it be machinery, carpentry, or metal. Among them, I choose one that I am most confident in and dig into it for 5 or 10 years.”
I don’t know how he’ll grow later, but I can’t just pass by this talent.
Above all, isn’t supporting the talented a virtue of the rich?
“You’re sending an unlearned guy like me all the way to America?”Read at noblemtl
Jaehong will do well.
“It’s not that I didn’t learn, it’s that I didn’t learn. You can learn from now. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the procedure.”
“thank you. thank you president.”Read at noblemtl
Jaehong shed tears like chicken droppings.
It seems that he suffered greatly because of his injured body.
I felt like I should tell you exactly.
I climbed onto the table.
Even if it’s a little embarrassing, the CEO has to deliver the right message to the employees.
bang!
“Attention everyone! Listen to me.”
“Yes, boss.”
The first declaration must be made to the university students here, and then declared once more on site.
“As a representative of the trend, I am not responsible for your future. If you work stupidly, they will say no, and some may have to leave the trend unintentionally. However, there are things I must protect.”
“……”
Everyone listened to me with bated breath.
The hum of the machine tools suddenly died out.
“As long as you think you will work for the general public, I will definitely protect you. We protect your survival and safety, and support your further growth. Why? That way we’ll all be rich! This never changes. never!!!”
“Waaa!”
I will completely erase the nightmares of my previous life.
Around me, at least in my company, I will never let that kind of life repeat itself.
“Cry out. We will be rich!”
“We will be rich!”
“Bigger!”
“We will be rich!”
“I’m going to be rich aaa!”
“It will be aaa!”
The repair base shouted as if it were about to leave, and only then did my heart relax.
“president…”
“You have to believe this. Isn’t that right, Jaehong?”
“Yes, yes… sure. I am sorry for worrying you.”
I headed to the runway site that way.
I did it because it was necessary, but after all, standing in front and shouting is cringy.
Especially in an atmosphere where people bow down from all sides like this.
“Boss, fighting!!”
Did you use the word fighting in this era?
“go for it!!!”
“go for it!!!”
They clenched their fists in all directions and shouted fighting. I raised my arm as I left the repair base.
“Waaa!”
It’s embarrassing, but I have to answer.
A roaring sound came from the sky.
It was like a medium bomber.
Yeah, it’s time to check the runway.
It’s insanely hard, but it’s heart-pounding.
****
“Come now, CS.”
“Lieutenant Colonel Gothel, you’re already here.”
“Already, how important is this?”
Lieutenant Colonel Gothel held up his binoculars with a stern expression in the makeshift control tower.
It is a temporary building with H-beams woven together and containers placed in an empty lot at the end of the runway.
“It will be fine.”
I spread a little cola on the cup and held it out.
Because he found a place to throw his cigar ashes.
“Are you doing that right? Aren’t smoke bombs thrown before bombing?”
“The runway lighting will be done separately. First of all, since it’s a test, we’ll let you know the location with a smoke grenade.”
Godel is in such a hurry to test the lighting system before installing it, but it’s just a blunder.
Are you on your nerves because you have a promotion at stake?
“What are you doing? CS is here too, land it!”
“yep! Lieutenant Colonel.”
The noncommissioned officer in charge of the control tower froze.
“AF109, please report when approach is ready.”
＜Roger, I’m ready. Please allow access.＞
“AF109, check the altitude, check the air flow behind you.”
＜Loser. At an altitude of 8000 feet, no more rear airflow. Please allow access.＞
“AF109, permission to enter Quy Nhon airspace. Nominal 090. Keep frequency channel 125.9 open.”
＜Roger, entering Quy Nhon airspace. Frequency 125.9 monitoring. AF109.＞
While the control tower was communicating, a bomber appeared in the distance.
The signalman vigorously waved a large red flag and hurried off the runway.
I thought the aircraft was getting bigger and bigger, and then I saw wheels.
Kwa-kwa… Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa…
“this!”
“it’s okay. Originally, it bounced a little like that.”
When landing, the aircraft bounces for a moment.
Landing in a gliding manner is only possible for large computer-controlled airplanes of the 21st century.
“Wowaaa!”
Cheers erupted from all sides as the plump bomber came to a safe stop on the runway.
“AF109, please see.”
＜Roger landed safely on the AF109 Quy Nhon runway.＞
“AF109, welcome to Quy Nhon. clear.”
＜Clear.＞
“Waaa!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! saw? Did you see it? Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Colonel Gothel’s excited laughter echoed.
It took just one month to build a runway in the middle of the jungle. If you add this three times, you will have an impregnable fortress.
“What are you doing? Pilots, no improvement officers, should be welcomed. camera! camera!”
“An old story!”
Gothel tossed down the cigar as if this was not the time and ran to the runway.
They were not officers who had won a battle, but they were called improvement officers.
I brought a camera to take a picture of the air force officers in front of the bomber.
The sergeants were excitedly playing the tune.
Bam bambam bap bamp bap bap.
At some point, even a military band was lined up on the runway, and an Air Force officer from the bomber walked proudly with the pilot.
“Major William, Saigon Command, reports that you have landed at Quy Nhon Temporary Combat Airport.”
“Good work, welcome.”
If it was a major, the squadron commander must have come with him.
Lieutenant Colonel Gothel responded to the major’s salute and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.
“There was an order from the Commander-in-Chief to bring Lieutenant Colonel Gothel to Saigon Headquarters immediately.”
“me?”
“Yes! If the landing is successful, he announced that he would be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for remarkably improving the military’s operational capabilities.”
“Uh heh heh! right?”
Yankees also cough up Korean historical drama style when they get overly excited. I first knew
“Congratulations. Lieutenant Colonel Gothel, no, Colonel.”
“Haha, CS you suffered a lot too.”
“Congratulations. Colonel Gothel.”
As I handed over my congratulations, salutes poured in from all directions.
Wouldn’t that also be a first-class special promotion if you received a medal on the battlefield?
“Not only that. There is a special message from the Commander-in-Chief to inform the entire Quy Nhon camp.”
“Deliver it.”
“Old story. You said that the military uniforms and boots and other logistics supplies at Quy Nhon Camp significantly improved the military’s operational capabilities.”
“You mean you praised the ball?”
“Old story. You promised to upgrade Quy Nhon Camp to the Secretariat for Military Aid to Vietnam if your contributions so far are very great and if Operation Southern Cross is successfully completed.”
“Military Aid Office to Vietnam!”
Hey, this is absolutely awesome.Read at noblemtl
Juwol Military Aid Secretariat?
The official name of the headquarters in Saigon is the Military Assistance Command (Vietnam).
Because there was no official support from the United Nations, US troops entered Vietnam under the pretext of providing military aid.
In any case, the Juwol Military Aid Secretariat is an organization directly under the Military Aid Command.
Literally, it was the sound of becoming No. 2 right under the commander-in-chief. It was truly unconventional for a one-of-a-kind campground.
‘congratulation. Colonel Gothel. The stars are not far away.’
I gave Gothel a congratulatory wink.
Building three more runways is just a matter of time.
“What are you doing? Colonel, you have to rinse.”
What will you celebrate with a star?
For now, let’s congratulate him on his promotion to colonel.
“Aha, rinse!”
“Everybody come out. hurry!”
When I waved my hand, our staff who were watching from the side of the runway came running.
They were nobles with obvious eyes.
“Congratulations, Colonel.”
“Uh ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha!”
“Colonel, Hurrah! hurray!!”
Gothel was in a good mood every time he flew through the sky.
It felt like thousands of dollars fell off each time we rinsed. Gothel will give you a lot of surplus supplies.
Officers arriving by bomber from the headquarters and noncommissioned officers from Quy Nhon camp also clapped their hands.
It was a heartfelt applause that they would naturally be promoted.
