[비즈니스포스트] LS Mtron will build a new orbital factory in Wanju and invest 50 billion won by 2026.
LS Mtron announced on the 25th that it signed an investment agreement with Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province to build a new orbital factory.
Track refers to the track facilities, tracked vehicles, and related transportation systems required to transport people or cargo.
This agreement ceremony was attended by Jeonbuk Governor Kim Kwan-young, Gunsan Mayor Kang Im-jun, Wanju County Mayor Yoo Hee-tae, Wanju Techno Valley CEO Choi Choong-sik, and LS Mtron Special Business Department Director Choi Young-cheol. Representatives and officials of SeAH Steel and GL Chem, which signed an investment agreement with Jeonbuk Province, also participated.
LS Mtron will build a new orbital production plant on a 37,628㎡ site in the Wanju Techno 2 Valley industrial complex and invest approximately 50 billion won by 2026.
LS Mtron is focusing on strengthening track productivity by separating the defense industry (orbit) from the existing Jeonju plant.
The new factory is 4km away from the existing factory. This means that it is close enough to utilize existing infrastructure. It is expected that production efficiency will be improved as major partners are located in the same industrial complex.
LS Mtron started its military track business in 1974. It has exclusively supplied tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery tracks to the Ministry of National Defense for more than 50 years. Among global orbital companies, it is the only one that has the capability to build all American-, Russian-, and Korean-type orbitals. We are exporting tracks to over 40 countries around the world, including the United States, Poland, and Spain.
Choi Young-cheol, head of LS Mcro’s division, said, “It is an important time to respond quickly as the defense industry continues to grow. We will use the agreement as a stepping stone to strengthen orbital productivity and promote the excellence of ‘K-Defense Industry’ to the world.” Reporter Na Byeong-hyeon

He was discovered by prosecutors after disposing of his body on his property.

According to the Department of Justice, prosecutors in Maryland recently arrested and indicted Frederick D. Moorefield Jr., deputy director of the Department of Defense’s Command, Control and Communications Department, on charges of operating an illegal dog fighting ring. “Moorefield and (his) associates used an encrypted messaging app to discuss ways to train vicious dogs for illegal dog fighting, exchange videos of dog fights, and arrange and coordinate actual dog fight schedules,” the Justice Department said. “Moorfield also discussed dog fighting gambling and how to dispose of the carcasses of dogs killed in dog fighting,” he said. “He also discussed with his colleagues how to hide (his illegal) activities from law enforcement.” “He said.
According to the Justice Department, Moorefield appears to have been involved in dog fighting and gambling since at least 2009. Maryland prosecutors said at least 12 dogs were seized from two properties owned by Deputy Moorefield. The Ministry of Justice said, “Moorfield abandoned two vicious dogs, presumed to have died as a result of dog fighting, at his home in Maryland in 2018,” and added, “(Investigation authorities) were able to identify Moorefield through mail found along with the bodies of the vicious dogs.” “There was,” he said.
Moorefield is said to have used the secret code name ‘Geehad’ in dog fighting groups. It is presumed to be a modification of the word jihad, which refers to Islam’s religious war against infidels. The Ministry of Justice said, “When investigative authorities came to search Moorefield’s home, he admitted to the charge of participating in dog fighting,” and “(during the search of Moorefield’s home) they also confiscated items that appeared to have been used to kill a dog that had lost a fight.” He said. It was discovered that he electrocuted the vicious dogs using jumper cables and electric plugs. In addition, steroids believed to have been administered to vicious dogs, a dog fighting training schedule, and blood-stained carpets were also confiscated from his home.
If convicted, Moorefield could face up to five years in prison for owning, training or transporting animals for use in dog fighting, the Justice Department said.

The National Memorial Pillar standing in the University of Hong Kong (picture source: Internet picture) It is forbidden to establish mirror websites when looking at Chinese websites. Return to the genuine Chinese website.
October 1 is known as National Memorial Day by the Chinese. 74 years ago, with the appeasement of the United States, the surrender of North Korea and Japan, and the participation of the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party seized the rule of the Republic of China on the mainland. Since then, mainland China has been bloody: purges, mutual fighting, massacres, criticism, family planning, Various movements such as revolutions against heaven and earth, anti-humanity and the transformation of thought and nature have continued, causing an estimated 70 million abnormal deaths in China. More than half of the Chinese people have been persecuted by the CCP in various ways. As a result, the sky and the earth have changed, the mountains and rivers have changed color, and people’s hearts have been disturbed. Today, China is suffering from environmental damage, ecological imbalance, moral degradation, cultural destruction, and natural and man-made disasters… It has been 74 years, and the suffering continues. Nowadays, this center of power is also in a period of turmoil. Let’s take a look at the strange appearances of the top leaders of the CCP these days. It is forbidden to create mirror websites on Chinese websites. Return to the genuine Chinese website.
Li Shangfu has not appeared in public since he attended the China-Africa Forum in Beijing on August 29 and delivered a speech. On the afternoon of September 28, the Ministry of National Defense of the Communist Party of China held a regular press conference. Foreign media asked about the whereabouts of Li Shangfu. Wu Qian, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Communist Party of China, learned from the previous answer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: I don’t know.
“I don’t know about the situation you mentioned.” Some foreign media asked Li Shangfu whether he would attend the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing at the end of October. Wu Qian said, “We will release further information about the Beijing Xiangshan Forum in due course.” Foreign media further asked whether Li Shangfu was involved in the Rocket Force investigation, and what was the reason for the CCP military’s investigation? When asked whether Li Shangbo was still exercising his powers as Minister of Defense, Wu Qian responded that he had answered relevant questions before or had nothing new to add.
The answer is very familiar. Yes, it is very similar to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ response to Li Sangbok earlier. However, what makes people feel more similar is that at the press conference of the second session of the 12th CPPCC National Committee of the Communist Party of China on March 2, 2014, spokesperson Lu Xinhua said in response to rumors about former Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang: “You got it”.
However, in the transcript of the press conference released on the official website of the Ministry of National Defense of the Communist Party of China, as in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ response to similar questions, no questions about Li Shangfu could be found.
On the afternoon of September 27, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held the eighth “collective study”. Both Li Shangfu and Qin Gang were absent from the meeting. Qin Gang was promoted like a rocket by Xi Jinping, but was removed from the post of Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China overnight. Although the CCP has not announced his whereabouts, he has other political identities. The Chinese Communist Party’s official media did not reveal whether his failure to show up for “study” was because his rank was too low. Li Shangfu did not explain why he did not attend.
On September 28, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China once again made a collective appearance to attend the National Day reception. Li Shangfu, the Minister of National Defense of the Communist Party of China, ranked first among the State Councilors, did not show up; Qin Gang, who was dismissed from the post of Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China, also did not show up. . Chinese state media did not explain the reason.
According to rumors, both of them were involved in an accident. The media is full of rumors about his lifestyle, leaks, prevention of assassinations or coups, etc.
There are various signs that there is a big problem with the Chinese Communist Army. In recent months, there has been news that Li Yuchao, commander of the Chinese Communist Party’s Rocket Force, Liu Guangbin, deputy commander of the Rocket Force, and Zhang Zhenzhong, current deputy chief of staff of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (former deputy commander of the Rocket Force), have been investigated; former Defense Minister Wei Fenghe has also reported that He has not been seen in public for months.
Authoritative sources say that the real reason for the withdrawal of the Rocket Force’s top brass this time is related to Xi Jinping’s belief in the prophecy of “soldiers carrying bows.” He has expert guidance around him, and he is afraid that there will be generals who will overthrow him, so he has to First, he brought down the army generals he had single-handedly promoted.
In previous years at receptions like this, only members of the Politburo Standing Committee or retired members of the Politburo Standing Committee sat at the same table as the General Secretary; others took their seats and waited in advance. When the General Secretary finally entered the room with members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the entire audience had to stand and applaud. This year, a total of 19 people entered the venue with the General Secretary, all sitting at the same table. In addition to some members of the Politburo Standing Committee, there are also members of the Politburo, State Councilors, and Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Some media analyzed that this weakened the status of the Politburo Standing Committee. Xi Jinping should deliberately show the outside world that except for himself, other members of the Politburo Standing Committee, members, and even State Councilors are not much different and can only listen to Xi Jinping. No one can take the opportunity to challenge his authority, and he can decide who is up and who is down at any time.
In previous years, the CCP did not dare to directly host the “National Day” reception in the name of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China due to questions about the legitimacy of its governance. Most receptions were hosted by the State Council. Because the State Council is the highest administrative organ, such a reception is held to highlight the power of the Chinese Communist Party. It is rarely hosted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the general secretary delivers a speech unless it is Daqing or a special year.
The 74th anniversary does not fall on October 5 or October 5, and it is not considered a Daqing. Generally, the Premier of the State Council should deliver a speech, but Xi Jinping delivered the speech. I don’t know whether it was because Li Qiang lay flat and resisted and refused to give a speech, or because Xi Qiang grabbed the microphone to show his authority, or because it showed that high-level personnel are unstable and relations are chaotic.
Xi Jinping said in his speech at the National Day reception that this year “we will coordinate COVID-19 prevention and control with economic and social development, coordinate development and security, actively promote sustained economic recovery, and orderly advance the reform of party and state institutions…”. However, everyone is well aware of the extent to which China’s economy has declined today. In addition to the good business in the funeral industry, the real estate, daily consumer goods and other industries are in depression, companies have closed down, the unemployment rate has soared, and public dissatisfaction is boiling. Institutional wages have dropped, and wages cannot even be paid. Moreover, nowadays, epidemics such as COVID-19, monkeypox, influenza A, norovirus, hand, foot and mouth disease are circulating in groups.
Xi Jinping’s speech also stated that this year “we will effectively respond to floods in local areas.” Respond effectively? How many official team members have you seen during the flood? Man-made dams were blown up to release floods, which caused many towns and grain fields to be flooded. Let’s go to the media to see how many towns and grain fields were flooded. How are the aftermath of the floods and the post-disaster recovery and construction going in various places? Let’s check out the news…
The speech also stated that “people’s lives continue to improve and the overall social situation remains stable.” In the second half of last year, after the relevant departments said that “Yang should be eliminated”, 900 million of the one billion mainland Chinese people were suffering from Yang. The CCP said that the population was reduced by 850,000, but in fact it was far more than that. Income dropped sharply, inflation occurred, and banks froze cards for no reason. Guizhou and other central and western poor areas hold weddings and funerals, and relatives happily squat on the ground and drink soup… After the liberalization, in order to make a living, mainland Chinese people worked hard to make money. Local officials imposed exorbitant taxes, and various incidents of cutting leeks such as fines, robberies, and taxes occurred frequently. As a result, farmers in various places killed agricultural managers, villagers killed village chiefs, vendors killed urban managers, grassroots personnel killed leaders, and civilians killed officials. Incidents continued to emerge…
Xi Jinping said that “the international environment has undergone profound changes”; the CCP “faces many risks and challenges”; “the road ahead will not be smooth and smooth.” Of course, let’s take a look at this Asian Games. What kind of distinguished guests from the seven countries will be invited? International isolation, protests brought about by Hong Kong’s national security law, world vigilance brought about by the military reunification of Taiwan, global anti-communism brought about by stolen technology and world spies…
There are more problems and chaos sinking under the iceberg. Observers of current affairs believe that various anomalies indicate that the CCP is sitting in the crater of a volcano, and that various crises may erupt violently at any time. By then, the world may not be ready yet, and I don’t know why.

Ministry of National Defense: Firmly Opposes U.S. Intervention in South China Sea Issues to Destroy Regional Peace and Stability – Xinhuanet
On the afternoon of September 14, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Tan Kefei, released information on recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, Philippine and US warships held their first joint patrol in the South China Sea. What is the spokesperson’s comment?
Tan Kefei: We are paying close attention to relevant trends. China has always believed that defense and security cooperation between relevant countries must not harm the interests of third parties or harm regional peace and stability. The South China Sea is the common home of regional countries. We firmly oppose the United States interfering in the South China Sea issue for its own selfish interests, showing off force and making trouble in the South China Sea under the guise of “freedom of navigation”, and undermining regional peace and stability. The Chinese military has always resolutely safeguarded national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and resolutely safeguarded peace and stability in the South China Sea.

So let’s take a closer look at what is the background of North Korea’s missile provocation and what is the purpose of the solid fuel space launch vehicle we successfully tested yesterday with reporter Hong Eui-pyo covering the Ministry of Defense.
Reporter Hong, there are many people who were surprised to see the sky last night.
There were many people who were anxious about the sudden sighting of a suspicious aircraft, but it turned out to be a test launch of our space launch vehicle.
Was it an unexpected launch, as the Ministry of National Defense explains it?
◀ Journalist ▶
Yes, the test launch was being prepared for a few days, focused on the Defense Science Research Institute.
However, it appears that the cleanup around the Western Sea launch site has taken time.
Evacuating the fishing boats in preparation for possible damage from falling bombs and taking into account the weather conditions, unexpectedly, it was the time of sunset when the shells were clearly visible.
Due to these circumstances and security concerns, the Ministry of National Defense explains that it was not informed in advance.
◀ Anchor ▶
okay. However, it seems hard to avoid pointing out that there was a recent North Korean drone invasion and that people’s anxiety needed to be addressed.
Now, first of all, it was announced that the test launch was successful yesterday, so will this launch vehicle be able to launch a satellite soon?
◀ Journalist ▶
There are remarks that it is possible within 1-2 years at the earliest.
In yesterday’s test it was reported that the 2nd and 3rd stages were separated and the upper body posture check was successful.
Normally, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stages of a satellite launch vehicle burn fuel and are separated from each other and exit the atmosphere.
Then, when the satellite contained in the upper part is ejected and put into orbit, the ultimate success is achieved.
To put a small satellite weighing 500 kg into orbit, at least 150 tons of force and 150 tons of push force are said to be required.
It is technically not easy to break through atmospheric friction, but the defense authorities plan to conduct several more tests in the future and launch them with real small satellites.
◀ Anchor ▶
Already from next year it is possible to launch a satellite as a reconnaissance satellite.
By the way, does North Korea’s rocket launch today have anything to do with our space launch vehicle yesterday?
◀ Journalist ▶
Yes, the space launch vehicle launched yesterday is powered by solid fuel.
The cost is relatively low, and the fuel can be stored in a charged state, allowing for rapid launch.
If a military reconnaissance satellite is loaded and launched, it will be easier to detect and respond in advance to the risks of North Korean nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
However, there is a possibility that North Korea, which has shown disappointment by saying, “They are also developing space launch vehicles, why is the international community banning them?”
For this reason, I think we will have to wait and see how the results of tomorrow’s Labor Party plenary meeting are announced.
(Again: Reporter Hong heard it right.)
