The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

Chapter 159 Li Changji's Entrustment

"Mr. Li, you are too polite. This is just the army they showed us, and the number is not large. The real essential difference should not be that big. After all, both your troops were recruited from the old Japanese army."

Dunn pretended to comfort him.

Whether in the North or the South, their armies were formed based on the Korean troops that were a sign of the Japanese colonial period. However, it is obvious that the North has far surpassed the South in military construction. This can be seen from the war that broke out later. The North defeated the South almost with a crushing force.

The army in the south remained in a half-dead state until the 2020s. To put it nicely, it was a nationwide conscription and everyone had the responsibility to defend the motherland.

But in fact, the level of bullying in the South Korean army is absolutely unique among the armies of various countries in the world. No other country's army has exposed more scandals than this army.

Let’s not talk about how powerful this army would be when it really goes to the battlefield, but at least it will definitely not be as invincible as the South Koreans are boasting now. These words can only be regarded as a joke.

There are two big jokes in the world military history in the 20th century. One is the Italian army and the other is the South Korean army.

"Mr. Klein, please stop comforting me!"

Li Changji shook his head helplessly.

"I believe that with your intelligence, you can also find out the specific situation of the northern army. Anyway, we have more or less obtained some information. I used to be skeptical, but after coming to the north this time, I know that the original intelligence may still be cautious. The gap between our two armies has actually widened!"

It’s good that you know it, Dunn added silently in his heart.

"Mr. Li, I think you are still too pessimistic! After you go back this time, you can suggest to your superiors to quickly reform the military system. Now the war will definitely not start in a short time. You still have plenty of time to do this. If it really doesn't work, we are still there!"

Of course, he couldn't speak out what was in his mind directly, so Dunn could only hypocritically comfort him again. However, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to get the South Korean army to improve.

"If only it were that easy! The politicians at the top of our country are only busy fighting among themselves and don't care about anything else. Even our current head of the family, his biggest goal now is to start a war as soon as possible to divert the attention of the country so that he can hold his position securely. But he doesn't care about the gap between our two armies and only wants to rely on you!"

Li Changji was heartbroken.

"If you didn't want a war to break out at this time, I'm afraid he would have been the first to create friction and start a war!"

"This is not something we can control. Just follow orders. I think Mr. Li should be able to see things in a positive light with his experience! If a war breaks out between the two of you, we will definitely intervene. Unless you can defeat the north, then just pretend I never said anything!"

A smile appeared on Dunn's face.

"You will intervene, but can you ensure that the Red Empire will not intervene? Once both of you intervene, it will be hard to say who will win on the peninsula."

The Red Empire will not intervene, Dunn is sure of that, but if it is mainland China that intervenes, it is hard to say who will win or lose. Dunn will not tell Li Changji what he knows. He is just a little confused. Did Li Changji come to him just to vent his complaints?

"Mr. Li, once a war breaks out, no one can predict it. No one knows which direction it will go. All we can do is pray that the war will not happen. Otherwise, no one on either side will have an easy time! I think Mr. Li came to me this time not just to ask for my opinion on the northern army, right?"

Seeing that Li Changji was reluctant to explain his purpose, Dunn could not help it and asked directly that he still had a lot of things to do. After all, when he came, Lloyd gave him several important tasks, and even if he couldn't complete them, he had to pretend to do them, otherwise his subordinates would see it and report to Lloyd, and Dunn would be in trouble.

"It's like this, I want to ask Mr. Klein to help me with something!"

Li Changji hesitated for a moment and looked at Dunn nodding to him to continue. Then he took a deep breath and made his request.

"To be honest, I don't think the war that might break out in the future is a good idea, so I'd like to ask Mr. Klein to use your connections to arrange for my family to go abroad, whether to Hong Kong, an isolated island, or even to the United States. I don't want them to stay in the country for the time being!"

"That's no problem, but does Mr. Li trust me so much?"

This was indeed a piece of cake for Dunn, so he agreed to Li Changji's request.

As an agent, Li Changji will be the focus of attention no matter which country he goes to, and most countries will have reservations about the entry application of people of his status. However, if his family uses their connections, it will be relatively easy to resolve the issue.

"I can't trust anyone! If you can choose to trust Mr. Klein, I won't let you work in vain!"

Li Changji smiled calmly.

"I was stationed in the Red Empire for nearly 20 years. At first, the Japanese sent me there, and later the southern government recruited my connections. For 20 years, I spent the entire period in the Red Empire. Not to mention overseas connections, I don't even have many connections in China.

I don't want my parents to continue living in fear in a country with an uncertain future. Once a war breaks out, it may become a tug-of-war, but we will definitely be the first to suffer. I can't let my parents take this risk!"

It has to be said that Dunn still admires Li Changji for this reason. First, it is because of his filial piety to his parents, and second, it is because he can basically accurately judge the development of future wars.

"When we get back this time, you leave the two elders to me. I will send them to Hong Kong first, and we'll see how the situation develops in the future!"

Dunn patted Li Changji on the shoulder and said that he also understood Li Changji's behavior of entrusting his son to his care.

"Don't ask me for compensation. I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for money. I'll help you next time. It's very likely that I'll need your help again. I hope you won't refuse then!"

Dunn knew that if he helped, Li Changji would definitely give him a generous reward. However, Dunn would definitely not be short of money in the future. After the smuggling route was established, although he would have to share a lot of his profits, the remaining profits would definitely be enough for him to squander. He really didn't need Li Changji's money.

After all, Li Changji wanted his parents to live a good life. From this point of view, Dunn was really willing to help him. After all, people who can be filial are worthy of respect.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Klein. I won't say any more. I will definitely not refuse to help you in the future!"

Li Changji nodded gratefully.
