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

"It's not that the Chinese don't have a clear understanding of themselves, but that they have to send troops!"

Lloyd shook his head.

"You have to know that the Red Empire is worried that their direct involvement will lead to the next world war! So they have many concerns!

Only the Chinese can fight on their behalf and resist our offensive on the peninsula!"

"Even so, can they really withstand our attack with that backward army?"

Dunn said, pretending to be unimpressed.

"The Chinese army alone will definitely not be able to stop us!"

Although Lloyd still attaches great importance to the Chinese army, his attention is limited.

"What I am most worried about is that although the people of the Red Empire will not fight directly, they will give China strong support behind the scenes. For example, in terms of weapons and equipment, in my opinion, our army is only superior to the Chinese army in terms of equipment!

You have to know that this Chinese army had just ended their civil war.

Both in terms of the will to fight and the ability to adapt to war, it should be much faster than our army!

Coupled with the brainwashing function of Redism, I am afraid that once the Red Empire arm their army on a large scale, we will definitely be caught in some difficult battles!"

Lloyd's words made Dunn start to take the powerful man in front of him seriously.

There are not many people in the United States who have this kind of insight.

In fact, just as Roy expected, although the Red Empire did not directly participate in the war, it provided various conveniences to the Chinese army in other places.

So some of these will have to be paid for, but at least if there is no support from the Red Empire, the price China will have to pay if it wants to win this war will certainly be greater.

"We really can't underestimate the brainwashing function of Redism. In addition, the Chinese are actually fighting at a closer distance than us, so at least they can send out more troops!"

Dunn nodded in agreement, but he looked more like he was agreeing just to cater to Lloyd's point of view.

"But sir, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

Finally, Dunn said firmly.

As for what we are referring to, only Dawn knows it in his heart. He will never explain our meaning to Lloyd.

"The direction of the war is definitely in our favor. I admit that. It just depends on how much trouble the Chinese army will bring us!"

Lloyd also nodded, seemingly agreeing with Dunn's point of view.

It should be said that even a pessimist like Lloyd is relatively optimistic.

This sentence sounds a bit contradictory, but it can be understood by referring to the jokes about Chinese radicals and conservatives in later generations.

Conservatives think radicals are too conservative.

It should be said that no one expected that the Volunteer Army would give such a performance in the war on the peninsula.

It is not without reason that later generations regarded this war as the founding war of China.

"One more thing! Yes, the smuggling business on the mainland should be stopped for a while!"

When saying this, Lloyd showed a somewhat painful expression. He was indeed reluctant to give up the actual benefits that the smuggling business brought him.

But there is no way. Once the Chinese choose to join the war, doing smuggling business with the Chinese would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

Even as the CIA's East Asia director, this was not possible.

If this kind of thing is done before the war breaks out, no one can say anything, because at that time no one knows that China and the United States will go to war.

But if he continued to do so after China entered the war, even if Roy had a strong background, he would probably be charged with treason.

“I have already considered this, my trip to the Far East this time was not completely without gain!

I have already contacted the smugglers in the Soviet Far East. If China really wants to join the war and the Red Empire does not, we can turn the market to the Red Empire!"

Dunn still revealed the smuggling route of the Red Empire, and this smuggling route was openly exposed.

It is said to be inaccurate on the surface, but there are indeed many people who know about it.

It is even more impossible to keep the secret from Lloyd, because in the future Lloyd will definitely participate in the smuggling profits. After all, he is the main protector of the smuggling route.

"Oh!"

Lloyd was feeling a little disappointed just now, but after hearing the news from Deng Lun, his eyes immediately lit up.

If the Red Empire's market can be developed, the profits will definitely be much more than those from the mainland market.

"Tell me what's going on. How can you pave the way in the Red Empire in such a short time?"

This was also what Lloyd was very interested in. He felt that Dunn was simply amazing.

Just like his deputy general, he felt a little distressed just now after losing the smuggling route in mainland China.

The income from the smuggling business will be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Dunn gave him new hope.

"In fact, the matter is very simple. This time, the Red Empire was lurking in their port area and accidentally learned of their smuggling routes. The people of the Red Empire talked about ideology, but they only cared about business..."

Dunn briefly recounted his experiences in the Red Empire.

"...Next, I also plan to develop the Southeast Asian market. After all, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket. This time, what happened in China is a lesson for us!

If I hadn't been lucky enough to develop the Red Empire market, I'm afraid we would have suffered huge losses this time!"

After talking about his experience in the Red Empire, Dunn also gave a summary and lessons.

"If we had prepared earlier, I'm afraid we wouldn't be in such a hurry!"

"Just take care of these things, I'll leave it all to you!"

Lloyd patted Dunn's shoulder with relief and continued.

"Japan can also be developed. I heard that the higher-ups are planning to restore some of Japan's industrial capabilities to cope with this war!

However, the prerequisite is that the Red Empire will intervene in the war. Now it seems that it will be China that intervenes. If China can really cause us some trouble on the battlefield, I am afraid that the plan to restore Japan's industry will come!

Japan will also be a good market by then!"

"I see!"

Dunn nodded silently and replied.

"You don't seem very happy?"

Lloyd also captured Dunn's changing moods.

"Of course I won't be happy! I saw many of my comrades killed by the Japanese on the battlefield of Dapingying!

If the authorities really want to restore Japan's industrial capabilities!

I would find it hard to accept it, because it would make me feel that everything we did in the Pacific was in vain!"

Deen is really unhappy, so if the United States is prepared to relieve Japan's industrial capacity, it will be an opportunity for him to make a lot of money.

Perhaps Dunn would rather not have the money than see the Japanese industry recover.

He would rather Japan continue to rot like this.

However, with the outbreak of the Peninsular War, Dunn realized that his ideas were a little too fantastic.

The higher-ups only consider immediate interests and never learn from past lessons.

And from the perspective of the United States, at least in the next 70 to 80 years, Japan will be an obedient dog of the United States.

To a certain extent, it also confirms the correctness of the United States's decision to lift the ban on Japan's industrial capabilities.

This is said from the perspective of the United States. From the perspective of a Chinese, Deng Lun absolutely does not want this to happen, but it is not something he can stop.

"I forgot that you participated in the Pacific War!"

Lloyd adjusted his glasses.

“To be honest, this news makes me feel very unhappy, even though I have never fought against the Japanese!

But before the war, my nephew served in Pearl Harbor, and when the war broke out, he also sank into the sea with his battleship!"

Having said that, Lloyd let out another long sigh.

"The Japanese do deserve to die, but for now we still need them. After this war, we can gradually take back everything we gave them!"

Lloyd patted Dunn's shoulder again.

Deng Enqiang forced a smile.

He knew that it would be difficult to take back what he had given out, and after the war, the United States had no intention of taking back what it had given to Japan.

Because in this war, the volunteer army performed too well.

It is so excellent that even the United States is afraid of it, so they must build up a major rival to China.

In East Asia, Japan, which is adjacent to China, is undoubtedly the most suitable.

There is a deep blood feud between the two countries. During World War II, the Japanese not only fought the Pacific War with the United States, but also spent a longer time on the battlefield in China.

If we count from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the two sides have been fighting for decades.

The Japanese certainly don't want the Chinese to rise.

Under such circumstances, the United States can only strengthen its support for Japan to contain China.

Eventually, Japan's economy began to take off and quickly joined the ranks of developed countries, although in the end it still became a dish of the United States.

When the U.S. economy is in crisis, they can reap the rewards from Japan whenever they want.

But the point is that it did allow the Japanese to live a good life again.

From Dunn's perspective, this is really a case of good people getting unrewarded and causing harm for a thousand years.

"I hope the Chinese can't hold us back for long!"

Dunn said something against his will.

"In this case, we won't have to support the Japanese!"

This is the true word.

"Let's wait and see what happens. These are not our concerns. These are for the top government officials to consider!"

Lloyd returned to his seat.

"After you return to Hong Kong this time, contact the agents on the mainland!

Confirm as soon as possible whether the mainland will send troops!

In addition, we should train more Chinese employees and turn them into intelligence officers.

If it is confirmed in the future that the mainland is going to send troops, they will definitely be of great use!

......"

Lloyd issued several orders against the mainland in succession, and Dunn wrote them down one by one, intending to implement them one by one after returning to Hong Kong and the isolated island.
