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

“By the way, when you go to Sarawak to do business, don’t forget to visit other Southeast Asian countries. Countries like Indonesia and Vietnam have just gained independence, so their domestic demand should be relatively high!

We have been trying to expand the smuggling market there recently, but the progress has been limited so far. When you go there, see if you can expand the market!"

Dunn gave Zhang Dezhong another instruction.

However, Zhang Dezhong immediately looked bitter.

“Indonesia, Vietnam?”

"what happened?"

Dunn asked in a somewhat strange tone.

“These two places are not close to each other!”

Dunn suddenly realized that in this era, southern Vietnam was still called Saigon, and the so-called Vietnam should refer to North Vietnam.

If you calculate it this way, the distance between Indonesia and Vietnam is not that close.

"I'm just saying that. Just hang out there a little more! Even if you don't go to the two countries I mentioned, you can go to the Philippines or Siam or something like that!"

"Stop talking! These two countries are even farther apart!

I will see which country I can transfer to when the time comes! I will open up as many smuggling routes as I can!"

Zhang Dezhong said with a frown on his face.

Dunn looked at Zhang Dezhong in surprise.

It seems that this guy is also a Chinese who was born and raised in the United States.

How come you are so good at geography?

Aren't Americans notoriously bad at geography and history? Before the implementation of happy education in the United States, weren't Americans bad at geography?

At this time, Zhang Dezhong was still complaining to Dunn.

"Southeast Asia is a big area! If I were to travel only around the countries on the Indochina Peninsula, it would be acceptable! But if I were to travel all over Southeast Asia, I wouldn't be able to finish it in one or two months!"

"That'll be three or four months!"

Dunn interrupted Zhang Dezhong's chattering directly. He discovered that the geography taught in the United States was probably not good in this era.

Because he searched the memory of the original owner of this body and found that the original owner didn't seem to have learned geography very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have subconsciously mentioned these countries together, but they are not close.

Although it is not as far as crossing the entire Pacific Ocean, it is still possible to do some market research in these countries.

Each country will waste some time, and it may take a month or two to see any results.

From this we can see that it is not because the geography and history education in the United States at that time was good, but because Zhang Dezhong himself learned well.

"Anyway, the smuggling routes are normal now. The worst that can happen is that you can run the Red Empire's routes a few more times to stabilize them. Then you can get off the smuggling ship directly and go to Southeast Asia to develop the market for a few months!

Now we have more and more ships, and we need a bigger market to support them. After all, we all rely on the money from the smuggling routes to cover all the expenses!"

"In fact, we can survive just by relying on the smuggling volume of the Red Empire!

You have to know that doing business with the Red Empire is much better than doing business with mainland China. They can only exchange goods for goods, while the Red Empire can directly provide financial support! "

It is obvious that Zhang Dezhong does not want to go to Southeast Asia.

The level of chaos in Southeast Asia today is no worse than in later times.

Many countries are not yet independent, such as Malaysia and Singapore.

"We can't put all our eggs in one basket. This mainland incident is a lesson for us. After they participated in the Peninsula War, our smuggling routes with them were directly cut off!

The situation in the Red Empire is actually similar to that in the mainland. Maybe when we step up our inspections of the Red Empire, or when Aliyev and Lukits, who are in charge of smuggling in the Red Empire, are dismissed, our smuggling business will be completely ruined!"

Dunn said with a sigh.

In fact, he really doesn't need the income from the smuggling business now. After successfully earning his first pot of gold, the profits from the magazine and the food factory on the isolated island are enough for him to live on, and the income from these two places combined is definitely much more than that from the smuggling business.

After all, the smuggling business they are doing now does not involve the goods that make money in Shenzhen, such as arms and flour.

It seems that the flour business in Southeast Asia will soon flourish, and the famous Golden Triangle of the future may be in Southeast Asia.

As for the arms business, Dunn really wants to try it, but he really doesn't want to touch the flour business.

Although this thing can make money, Dunn will never ship flour to China. If he wants to use flour to poison the United States, then it seems more cost-effective to develop the raw material market in Mexico and South America.

At least the flour doesn't have to be shipped across the Pacific.

Moreover, Deng Wen had communicated with his brother Antonio before, and he might develop into politics in the future.

If I were involved in drugs, my brother's future would basically be ruined.

So for the time being, I really don’t want to bother with the flour business.

Let’s see how his brother develops in the future. Dunn believes that his future development in politics will definitely not be bad.

Next, Dunn listened to Zhang Dezhong’s report on the smuggling business over the past two months.

Then he gave Zhang Dezhong a few more instructions before leaving the hotel and returning home.

Although it was already early in the morning when Dunn got home, the food that Rui had prepared was still on the table in the living room.

This touched Dunn to some extent, because it was too late, and the sound of Dunn returning home did not alarm Rui Yi. She ate the food on the table without heating it up, and then went to sleep.

The smuggling ships did not stay in the Hong Kong River for long, because the smuggling fleet had now increased from two ships to five.

These five ships stayed at the port of Xiangjiang River, but they attracted too much attention. Soon on the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Dezhong took the ships to Southeast Asia.

The goods transported this time were not smuggled to the Red Empire, but to the mainland, simply because the mainland is now participating in the Peninsular War.

Britain is also a member of the United Nations forces, so the blockade of the mainland is now quite tight.

The port of Hong Kong could no longer be used, so the country had to travel a long way to Sarawak to trade.

In fact, from this point we can roughly see the flexibility and diversity of the British Empire, because Sarawak is also British territory after all.

Malaysia is not independent yet.

It is estimated that if the British Empire was not afraid that some transactions in the Xiangjiang area were too eye-catching and easily attracted the attention of the United States, they would probably continue to do business in the Hong Kong area.

In fact, this was indeed the case later. Although the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the British Empire were fighting on the peninsula, in the later period of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Britain and China actually had a lot of business going on in Xiangjiang.

After all, it was the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the United Nations Army fighting on the peninsula, with at most the troops from North and South Korea added in.

What does it have to do with my British Empire and my business partners?

Of course the British Empire could do this, but Dunn could not.

Dunn still has to be more restrained to some extent. Even if the smuggling routes support the bigwigs behind him, he cannot do business with the mainland so directly.

After all, the United Nations forces may have nothing to do with the British Empire, but they definitely have an inseparable relationship with the United States.

As a public official of the United States, if you dare to do business with the mainland at this time, as long as newcomers notice it, it is basically equivalent to giving them a handle.

After seeing off Zhang Dezhong's team, Dun En returned to the newspaper. In fact, if there was nothing else, Dun En would not want to come to work today. But as soon as he returned to the newspaper, he called Liu Liyuan to the office and handed the photos that Zhang Dezhong had investigated to Liu Liyuan.

Liu Liyuan was also frightened after seeing the photo. He originally thought that with Dunn's reminder, if he was a little more careful, he would not fall into Zhang Dezhong's trap.

However, it was unexpected that before reporting the situation to Dunn, Zhang Dezhong had already obtained a lot of evidence of his contacts with some important people.

The other photos are not so difficult to explain. After all, as the head of a newspaper in Xiangjiang, it is understandable that he has close contacts with some high-level figures in Hong Kong.

However, if the photo of him talking with Wu Bingcheng was found by someone with ulterior motives, his mission in Hong Kong would basically be over.

You should know that one of the purposes of Wu Bingcheng's visit to Hong Kong this time was to negotiate secretly with the British.

Therefore, the British Hong Kong government also knew his identity. Apart from meeting Dunn when he first arrived in Hong Kong, the person who had the most contact with Wu Bingcheng was Liu Liyuan.

Moreover, when Wu Bingcheng revealed his identity and went to negotiate secretly with the Hong Kong British government, Wu Bingcheng had already cut off contact with Liu Liyuan. After all, Liu Liyuan could not be allowed to take risks. When he revealed his identity, it would definitely attract the special attention of the Hong Kong British government.

So at that time he only communicated with people in the open, which means that Zhang Dezhong had noticed him a long time ago. Calculating the time, it should have been after Dunn had just met Wu Bingcheng.

However, Liu Liyuan didn't realize it at all. All along, Liu Liyuan didn't take Zhang Dezhong, a rookie who had just entered the intelligence community, seriously. But now it seems that he was too careless.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Du’s subordinates to be so capable!”

After looking at the photos that Dunn gave him, Liu Liyuan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"You should be thankful that this guy spends most of his time floating on the sea! To be honest, I didn't expect that this guy's reconnaissance ability is so strong!

This can be considered a lesson. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, or he reported it in time. Otherwise, if he really found out something, I would have a hard time explaining it to him!"

Dunn also sighed. When Zhang Dezhong handed these photos to him, he was a little dazed. He felt that he was wasting his talent and wondered if Zhang Dezhong was born to be in the intelligence industry.
