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

Chapter 252 Zhang Dezhong's Suspicion

The goods shipped to Vladivostok this time were all light industrial products.

Mainly some daily necessities, Chinese specialty silk, and some tobacco, etc.

There are many types and the cargo volume is basically not large.

This is mainly because this is the first time the two sides are working together, and they need to see which Chinese items will be more popular in the Red Empire.

First, let’s take a look at the sales volume of each item. The item with better sales volume will be the biggest source of smuggling in the future.

In fact, the main seller of some of China's light industrial products is the Red Empire.

The Red Empire was extremely short of light industrial products.

But compared to the European regions, the market in the Far East is definitely different from the main regions in Europe.

Which specific item is more popular depends on market reaction.

In fact, Dunn scoffed at this approach.

In his opinion, the problem can be solved by simply doing a market research.

It doesn't have to be as hard as it is now.

Once a certain product becomes unsalable within the Red Empire.

Then you will just have to swallow the loss yourself.

However, it can be seen from this that the people behind Aliyev and Lukits should not be from the Red Empire intelligence department.

Otherwise, market investigations like this would be easy for intelligence agencies.

Moreover, the Far East is an important distribution center for Chinese goods.

It should be very simple to conduct such a survey.

This is also Dunn’s recent plan.

He wanted to try to carry out Sino-Soviet smuggling after the smuggling routes between China and the United States were cut off in the future.

The business was then expanded to include smuggling from Southeast Asia to the Red Empire.

You have to know that the United States is too far away from East Asia, unless the smuggling route from Alaska to the Soviet Union is the shortest.

The problem is that Alaska is a long way from the mainland of the United States, after all, there is Canada in between.

The cost of smuggling across the Pacific is actually quite high.

If it were possible to facilitate smuggling between Southeast Asia, China and the Soviet Union in the future.

If possible, Japan can be brought in. After all, after the war on the peninsula is over, Japan's economy will usher in a golden period.

In terms of the cost of smuggling in this way, it will save a lot of costs compared to directly transporting goods from the United States to East Asia.

It can also effectively avoid CIA surveillance, although the CIA can basically be said to be omnipresent in the future.

But Denglong has the identity of a CIA after all, so he doesn't have to worry too much about these things. The main thing is to avoid surprise inspections by some functional departments in the United States.

In fact, after the food factory on the isolated island started to operate at full capacity, Dunn basically no longer needed the income brought to him by the smuggling route.

After all, orders from the United States have come in in large numbers.

Before Dunn set out for the Red Empire, he had consulted his brother and learned that the Ministry of National Defense had already placed the order to the food factory on the isolated island.

After all, the United States has now been dragged into the war on the peninsula.

Although they are in the capacity of the United Nations Army, everyone knows that the main force of this so-called United Nations Army is the United States.

The reason why Dunn still retains the smuggling route is simply because there are many interests involved in the smuggling route. He needs to maintain the relationship on the isolated island and use him to generate income for his big brother Lloyd.

Of course the most important reason was to use smuggling to support China's War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

And the subsequent nation-building in China.

Like this time, if the mainland government had not been so urgent in demanding the machinery and equipment, Dunn could actually have done it completely after the Peninsula War.

Slowly bring these mechanical equipment to the mainland in batches.

There won't be any risk.

Now, the time has come to pack up and sell those devices to the mainland before Piaoliangtu can react, but there are still some consequences.

In the future, after China's volunteer army supports the war on the peninsula, the United States is likely to come after them. Fortunately, as an intelligence officer of the CIA, this task will most likely be assigned to me.

Of course, that is the most ideal situation. If it really doesn't work, we can only abandon the Xingyi Gang.

The mechanical equipment obtained by Victor and his son was shipped from Europe to China.

The risk shouldn't be that great.

But it’s best not to take it lightly.

This time, after Zhang Dezhong unloaded the cargo on the ship, he filled the ship with crude oil before setting off.

It can be said that there was no empty boat during this trip.

Aliyev was able to get the oil that Zhang Dezhong requested.

Dunn was also extremely shocked.

It seems that although the person standing behind Aliyev is unlikely to be from the Red Empire's intelligence department, he must be someone with considerable background.

However, Zhang Dezhong’s crude oil was not shipped to China. When the war breaks out in the future, although the Red Empire did not send troops, it would still not be stingy in providing material support.

Therefore, these raw cattle will not be shipped to China, but will be shipped directly to the United States.

It can be considered as this era's version of "I steal oil for my country."

With the rapid economic development of the United States after the war, the popularity of cars in the United States has become increasingly higher.

As more cars are used, gasoline consumption will also increase.

Although there is no shortage of oil in the United States, most of the oil in the United States is shale oil, which is more difficult to extract.

When the technology matures in the future, this kind of oil will not be difficult for the United States to extract, but the cost will be slightly higher than that of the Middle East and the Red Empire.

But in this era, the technology is still not very mature, and the difficulty and cost of implementation are relatively high.

Therefore, the United States basically needs to import a large amount of oil.

The oil transported this time is expected to generate considerable revenue.

And this is only the first time. Next time, it won’t be the same boat.

What if we don’t know when the next time will be?

After all, the volunteer army will soon enter North Korea.

After finishing this job, Dunn and others left the port terminal.

After returning to his residence, Dunn unfolded the note Zhang Dezhong gave him.

The above is Zhang Dezhong’s report on the current situation in Hong Kong and the isolated island.

What makes Dunn feel relieved is that the situation on both sides is relatively stable at present.

Nothing happened.

The only thing that worried Dunn was that Zhang Dezhong had actually begun to suspect Liu Liyuan.

Zhang Dezhong described his observations in detail to Dunn on the note.

It turned out that Zhang Dezhong and Dun En had wasted some time in the United States last time, so they went to Xingyi to help buy equipment.

This resulted in him staying in Hong Kong for too long, so he paid close attention to Liu Liyuan.

In Zhang Dezhong's narration, he found that Liu Liyuan often had close contacts with some high-level figures in Hong Kong.

He suspected that Liu Liyuan might be trying to do something behind Dunn's back.

Fortunately, he did not doubt the intelligence.

If things continue in this trend, Zhang Dezhong will most likely continue to pay attention to Liuliyun. If something really happens to him at that time, it will be difficult to explain to Zhang Dezhong.

You have to know that Liu Liyuan’s current identity is already quite embarrassing in the newspaper office.

In particular, Zhang Zezhong also knew that Liu Liyuan also contributed to the smuggling routes they had established with the mainland.

However, Liu Liyuan did not get a share of the profits from the subsequent smuggling innovations.

Zhang Dezhong was also worried that Liu Liyuan would start a new business and compete with them.

Seeing this, Dunn was both angry and amused.

He really wanted to send a telegram to Zhang Dezhong immediately and ask him to stop all observation of Liu Liyuan.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was too much of a fuss.

Anyway, the volunteer army will soon enter North Korea, and no matter what the considerations are, Lloyd will definitely call himself back.

There is no need to be so anxious, but I also believe in Liu Liyuan's prudence.

Let’s talk about everything after I get back!

Anyway, Zhang Dezhong spends most of his time on the sea, so even if he wants to monitor Liu Liyuan, he doesn't have much time.

unless……

Dunn thought of another possibility. If Zhang Dezhong sent someone to monitor Liu Liyuan, that would not be good.

Although Deng En knew that Zhang Dezhong had good intentions, he was afraid that his good intentions might lead to bad consequences.

Sending a telegram to Zhang Dezhong now to ask him to stop the action would indeed seem like an overreaction.

After thinking it over carefully, Dunn took out his wireless telegraph and sent a message to Liu Liyuan, asking him to be more cautious and be careful of Zhang Dezhong.

We'll talk about everything after he gets back.

Deng En sent this telegram not because he cared about Liu Liyuan, but because he knew Liu Liyuan's background and knew that he was not that simple. If Chengzhong sent someone to monitor Liu Liyuan, he would probably be discovered by Liu Liyuan, after all, he was a local.

Whether it is Dunn or Zhang Dezhong, or even those spy reporters in the newspaper.

After all, they are all outsiders.

Once Zhang Dezhong's plan to send people to monitor Liu Liyuan was discovered, the people he sent would be in great danger.

This will definitely arouse Zhang Dezhong's suspicion even more.

And Dunn had no way to explain to Zhang Dezhong, so he had no choice but to let Liu Liyuan return to the mainland.

This is not what Dunn wants to see.

He and Liu Liyuan work very well together. If he changes his partner, he is not sure whether he can get along well with the other party.

And now his magazine is just getting on track.

Everything still needs to be taken care of by Liu Liyuan!

Once Liu Liyuan leaves, Dunn doesn't believe that a media talent similar to Liu Liyuan can come from Hong Kong in a short time.

If the mainland is left alone now, it may not be able to withstand the CIA's investigation.

After all, it is unlikely that the mainland would send an agent with similar experience to Liu Liyuan to the Hong Kong area.

When he leaves, the editor-in-chief might really make Deng Wen's work a mess.

Although the magazine also has a professional talent Kurt.

But Dunn really didn't want him to set up his own private sphere. The newspaper didn't matter, after all, strictly speaking, the newspaper was actually a CIA property.

Mainly his magazine.

I hope nothing happens before I go back soon!

Dunn could only pray in his heart.
