Chapter 1235: Military Base!

Hearing Park Chung-hyun's words, the hearts of these people present were cold, the reason why His Royal Highness Crown Prince Zayed agreed to introduce nuclear power technology from South Korea is that the South Korean president agreed to send special forces to station troops in the emirate, but now His Royal Highness has changed his mind, obviously knowing that there are potential safety hazards in South Korean nuclear power plants.

At the beginning, South Korea spent a lot of effort on the crown prince to promote the export of nuclear power from South Korea, but now that His Royal Highness the crown prince has changed his mind, this matter is completely cold.

As the deputy minister in charge of South Korea's nuclear power energy, he certainly knows that the South Korean nuclear power industry is controlled by the bigwigs of these consortia, and all links from top to bottom are unsupervised.

Although South Korea's hydropower and nuclear power companies are bidding for the supply of nuclear reactor parts in the country, before the bidding begins, these bidders from various consortia do not engage in high-level commercial negotiations, but use rock-paper-scissors to decide which company will win the order like kindergarten children.

The winner of the tender for each component of the nuclear reactor will be determined by rock-paper-scissors, and the bidders will work together to forge the bidding documents to ensure that other competitors are automatically eliminated from the competition for this one part.

There is no need for fierce technical competitions, let alone bothering to improve the quality and safety of products, everyone can just pretend that they have built a product that meets the specifications, and then play children's games to fulfill each other, and then you can easily send the problematic parts into the nuclear reactor and put a lot of money back into the company and your own pocket.

The safety rules that scientists and engineers have worked so hard to develop are not seriously enforced in a country with a strong industrial power.

This kind of plot, which is more fantastical than some movies, is actually playing out in South Korea.

After accepting bribes, the managers of South Korean hydropower and nuclear power companies approved forged product certificates and released substandard parts and components that were installed in densely populated nuclear power plants, and even in some nuclear power plants, which are key components of nuclear power plants, many nuclear power plant transformer fires are very high, but these various faults are concealed by the company's top management.

Retired executives of South Korea's monopolistic hydropower and nuclear power companies have been transforming the nuclear power industry chain into a chain of corrupt interests by working or investing in parts suppliers, and everyone is shielding each other.

Therefore, it has also caused people that South Korean nuclear power plants have many years of proud operation records, the failure rate is far lower than the OECD average, and the power generation efficiency is the world's first, and the expert investigation team sent by the emirate is also good to entertain, and privately also gives a lot of benefits, the evaluation report of these expert groups is naturally very good, and it also makes the emirate believe that the quality of South Korean manufacturing is foolproof and the operation level is world-class.

And the explanation that South Korea Electric Power can have such a low cost is that South Korea repeats the same design for different nuclear power plants, rather than redesigning each one, and the related technology has already built many units in South Korea, so that it can significantly reduce costs through scale.

Of course, these are deceptive nonsense.

Because South Korea is a small country, a few chaebols can completely control all aspects of the country, and overseas nuclear power companies cannot enter the country, so these chaebols are indeed unscrupulous in the nuclear power industry.

However, what is surprising is that the emirate is not stupid, and even privately sent intelligence officers to investigate the real situation of the South Korean nuclear power plant.

"Chairman Lee, what is your opinion on this matter?"

At this time, someone asked Lee Kun-hee, who had been silent.

"This business can't be done, and there is no need to negotiate with the emirate, and we must now quickly follow up on the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power technology, otherwise sooner or later the Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group Company in China will rob the nuclear power market." ”

"But we don't have the technology to do that!"

"The mini molten salt reactor jointly developed by the Fuji Group of Companies in Neon Country is jointly developed by Neon Country, Eagle Sauce and Da Mao, and this project has been lacking financial support before, and we have been in secret contact with the lead expert of this project, and this expert has also agreed to work in South Korea. ”

"Before we succeed in the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power technology, we also need to work together to get the government to agree to build a few more nuclear power plants, and at the same time, the export thing cannot be stopped. ”

Hearing Li Jianxi's words, everyone present nodded one after another.

On this side, Yang Jie was also in a conference room in the office building of the State Affairs Institute in the imperial city to report to Song Xinyang and other leaders about the emirate's preparation for the introduction of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power technology.

"When the Caliph left, he also mentioned to me that they had sent personnel to privately investigate the situation of the nuclear power plant in South Korea, and he was very shocked by the results of the investigation, and the operation of the nuclear power plant in South Korea was very bad, which made him and the president of the emirate very dissatisfied, so he suspended the introduction of nuclear power. ”

Yang Jie said: "This time, the Emirate Congress will send a team of experts to investigate and evaluate the Xiaotangshan and Jiangchang nuclear power plants next week, and the investigation and evaluation will be completed in the second half of next year." ”

He paused and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Caliph King also privately intends to invite our military to be stationed in the emirate, and they are willing to provide a military base for our military. ”

As soon as Yang Jie's words came out, Song Xinyang and the others were stunned.

The privately concluded military treaty between South Korea and the emirate includes a controversial clause that requires the South Korean Congress to approve the participation of troops stationed there in the conflict if the emirate requests military assistance from South Korea.

Military operations of this level exist only in the alliance between Yeong-chan and South Korea.

As far as South Korea's domestic policy is concerned, it is almost unthinkable to deploy troops in the Middle East in order to actively participate in the conflict in the absence of such a secret treaty.

However, in order to open up the nuclear power plant market in the Middle East, the South Korean president also took a big risk, bypassing the approval process of the Congress, avoiding the authorization of the legislature, and agreeing to the emirate's conditions.

However, the highest authorities of the emirate, including Prince Caliph, were also frightened into a cold sweat after learning the true situation of the nuclear power plant in South Korea, so they voluntarily gave up their demands on South Korea.
