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

"How do you feel now that you're back to your old job?"

This day was John's first time to participate in smuggling and transportation work. Dunn asked as the two men walked back to their residence.

Dunn keenly discovered that as the North Korean army won victory after victory on the front battlefield, the frequency of their smuggling of food and other military supplies began to become unusually high.

This shows that North Korea's meager financial resources are simply not enough to support a major war.

Think of the Inchon landing in about a month.

Since then, North Korea's military has been in a state of decline, which is probably due to the lack of logistical support.

This situation will continue until the mainland's volunteer army enters North Korea.

"This feels really different! The income I earned this time is equal to what I earned in 2-3 months as a porter! And the working hours are not that long!"

John said with a smile.

At this time, Dunn suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward. John also stopped with some confusion.

"John, actually, there is another task for you!"

Seeing Dunn's serious expression, John asked curiously.

"Sir, what is the mission? Tell me!"

“I have already informed the people in East Asia that we will establish a smuggling route with the Red Empire in the future!

For the time being, I will get 40% of the profits from this smuggling route!

But I won't stay in the Red Empire for long. After I leave, you will be in charge of this route. Are you willing to take on this task as the Red Empire's liaison?"

John thought about it for a moment and immediately put the events together.

I'm afraid that from the very beginning, the purpose of this superior transferring me to the inspection team was not so pure.

But he also knew that sooner or later, agents like them who could speak Russian would be indispensable, and they would be sent to the territory of the Red Empire.

So when Leo mocked him that day, even though John was very dissatisfied, he still endured it.

This day is only a matter of time, sooner or later. Don’t look at Li Yao’s cheers, because he might be the next one sent to infiltrate the Red Empire.

"No problem! Is it your people in East Asia who will be in charge of this business?"

Dunn's identity as the CIA's head of East Asia was actually no secret among several agents.

When they were in Japan, they received news that their team leader this time was a newcomer who had just joined the CIA and had used all his connections to look up Dunn's information.

The name Dunn used at the time was Dupain Crane.

So it was easy to find out that Dunn was now the person in charge of Hong Kong and the isolated island area.

With this identity, Dunn would not stay in the Red Empire for long.

"Don't ask so many questions!"

Dunn neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Remember, the fewer people who know about this smuggling route, the more money you will get. The more people who know about it, the less money you will get!"

"Understood!"

John nodded excitedly.

Of course he understood what Dunn meant.

This smuggling route is probably not known to many people, and it is very likely that Dunn planned it himself.

But that was nothing to John.

As long as he could gain tangible benefits from it, he would certainly be happy to keep Dunn's secret.

Both parties were in tacit agreement and did not mention the matter again.

For nearly a month, both parties went to get off work and came home as usual, and occasionally worked night shifts when there was smuggling business.

Just after September began, Zhang Dezhong finally set foot on the land of the Red Empire.

With Dunn's introduction, he also met Aliyev.

Because Zhang Dezhong did not speak Russian and Dunn could not openly serve as the translator for both of them, he specially found a White Russian from the Xiangjiang area to serve as the translator.

He had already learned about the plan from Dunn, and Zhang Dezhong was a little surprised that Dunn could act so quickly.

Zhang Dezhong did not dare to stay in the Red Empire for long, and did not even communicate properly with Dunn.

After discussing the details of future smuggling with Aliyev.

So they quickly left the territory of the Red Empire.

There is no way. Zhang Dezhong does not understand Russian now, and Dunn’s identity is not suitable for him to understand Chinese now.

So the two of them could only meet briefly, nodded, and said nothing.

What's more, Aliyev was there, and if the two of them communicated too much, it would definitely arouse Aliyev's suspicion.

And with the Belarusian translator, when the two of them communicate, some information will inevitably be revealed to the Belarusian translator.

So the communication between the two of them could only be put off until the next time when they had the chance.

But this time Dunn also brought John with him.

Before Zhang Dezhong came, Dunn had already informed him via radio that John would take over the work within the Red Empire in the future.

I deliberately let John show up in front of Zhang Dezhong.

Let the two of them get to know each other first, so that it will be much easier to work together in the future.

The two men did not reveal any information about the inspection team's smuggling to other agents.

Like usual, the two of them went to get off work and occasionally worked the night shift, but this time the number of night shifts they worked increased significantly.

Although this attracted the attention of several other agents living together, Dunn, as the leader of this operation, did not reveal any information to the members below him, so they could not make too many speculations.

It was not until around September 10th that the news of the Incheon landing finally reached the Red Empire.

Dunn and his colleagues also got this information from the newspaper.

During the meeting that night, everyone took out a map of the peninsula area.

Dunn marked a circle at the location of Incheon and also drew a line in the area where North Korean troops are now fighting with South Korea.

"I'm afraid the North Korean army is going to be in big trouble this time!"

Leo looked at the map and took the lead in offering his opinion.

"This landing is no less than the Normandy Landing during World War II! I'm afraid the North Korean army will soon be defeated under the double-sided attack!"

John, who always liked to go against Leo, did not raise any objections this time.

In the eyes of everyone, it was incredible that the South Korean army, with the help of the US army, still suffered such a defeat.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the North Korean army will have a hard time surviving this landing.

Although accurate information has not yet been received, Deng Wen knows that many North Korean troops can no longer withdraw north of the 38th parallel.

After this landing, the attack and defense of both the North and the South became completely easy.

In just one month, North Korea was basically destroyed, with more than 80% of its territory.

The battle line was pushed all the way to the Yalu River by the U.S. army.

If the Chinese People's Volunteer Army had not entered North Korea in October, the country of North Korea would have been completely annexed by South Korea.

Of course, South Korea is actually a puppet state of the United States. Allowing South Korea to annex North Korea is basically equivalent to the United States unifying the peninsula.

This is something the mainland cannot tolerate.

"Then we must pay attention to the movements of the Red Empire Army in the near future!"

John sighed as well.

"Once North Korea is defeated, the Red Empire will surely be destroyed!"

"We also received a telegram from above, asking us to keep an eye on the situation in the Red Empire!"

Dunn sighed pretentiously. He didn't care at all about the situation in the Red Empire.

What he hopes now is that the smuggling route he has just established with the Red Empire will not suffer any losses because of this incident.

Because the Incheon Landing has already happened, the volunteer army will enter North Korea around October 10th.

By then, the smuggling routes with the mainland will probably be completely cut off.

It may not be as easy as before to unilaterally benefit from the mainland.

I have been trapped in the Red Empire for almost three months, and I don’t know what the situation is like outside.

I wonder if all the mechanical equipment that we contacted the mainland has been shipped back?

Fortunately, the days are almost over and we only need to be patient for another month.

After the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered North Korea, his mission should have been successfully completed.

Then I can go back to Hong Kong.

Of course, Dunn couldn't show it in front of this group of agents.

"So Li Yao, you guys at the lumber mill in the north must pay attention to the movements on the land in the near future. Leave the movements at the port to me and John!"

Finally, Dunn assigned some tasks and Leo nodded.

Although he didn't do very well in the lumber mill, he is still just an ordinary lumberjack.

But from the mountain they were on, they could directly see the road built by the Red Empire at the foot of the mountain. If the Red Empire’s army wanted to go to North Korea by land.

You must take the road at the foot of the mountain where they are.

Nearly another week later, Zhang Dezhong's first batch of smuggled goods was finally delivered to the Red Empire.

Just like last time, the goods were unloaded secretly at the warehouse at the dock.

Because Dunn introduced the new smuggling route, he no longer participated in the usual transporting work. After all, with the income from the Chinese route, Dunn was not short of money. He even bought a bicycle to commute to get off work.

However, this time Dunn still found an opportunity to meet with Zhang Dezhong.

The two had a brief exchange. Zhang Dezhong could already speak some Russian, but he still needed to bring an interpreter because he couldn't speak it well.

Aliyev was with them, so the two men did not say much. However, before coming, Zhang Dezhong had already received the news that Dunn had asked him to write down everything about Hong Kong and the smuggling routes on a piece of paper. When the two men shook hands, Zhang Dezhong had already stuffed the note into Dunn's hand.

For now, the two of them can only communicate in this way.
