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

Dunn knew that although the CIA had always had a presence in South Korea, it was thanks to this war.

The South Korean branch was torn to pieces.

At the beginning of the war, the northern army was unstoppable and pushed the south directly to a corner of Busan.

This had a great impact on the CIA's South Korean presence. You have to know that any American Chinese in South Korea would definitely not dare to stay there for too long.

Many local employees were killed or injured in this war.

As a result, after the UN forces pushed the north back, the South Korean division has not yet formed combat effectiveness.

After all, the lost local employees still need training and replacement.

Therefore, the current CIA South Korea branch has no intelligence capabilities whatsoever.

So Lloyd didn't know much about the situation on the front line.

Although he had made his own efforts to collect all the information about the front line as quickly as possible, things did not go smoothly due to the obstruction of Marshal Mai.

This is because Marshal MacArthur was always angry. When the operations were not going well in the early stages, the CIA often spoke ill of him to the higher-ups.

So after the Incheon landing, when the UN forces and South Korean troops began to push back to the north, Marshal MacArthur generally ignored the CIA's requests for cooperation.

This is a very vengeful person, and the actions between the CIA undoubtedly annoyed Marshal Mai.

Now that the war is starting to go wrong again, Marshal MacArthur will give the CIA even less opportunity to intervene.

This basically caused the Central Youth Bureau to lose its intelligence capabilities on the peninsula and was also the main reason why Lloyd was in a bad mood recently.

As the head of the CIA in East Asia, all the intelligence he knows now is reported to him by the military. How can this not make Lloyd angry?

Otherwise, he would not have brought Dunn with him this time and let Dunn find various ways to inquire about the situation on the front line from the South Korean people.

"Sir, there is one more thing that proves how dire the current situation is!"

Seeing that Lloyd was so dissatisfied with Coach McGrady, Dunn really didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

"what's the situation!"

Lloyd asked, controlling his anger a little.

"I was originally planning to tell you about this after I've finished reporting it, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid this incident also shows how bad the current situation in South Korea is..."

Next, Dunn told Li Changji that he had promised to help smuggle the families of some South Korean officials out of South Korea.

"That's what happened. I originally planned to ask him to help me buy up South Korea's land and fixed assets in South Korea!

He asked me to help transport the families of South Korean officials.

At that time, I did not think too much about it and directly agreed to his request. Thinking back on it now, I am afraid that South Korean officials, both big and small, are not optimistic about this war, and it can even be said that they are pessimistic.

Of course this may be related to the fact that they had been pushed once by the army from the north before.

But combined with what you just said, I feel that the situation on the front line is probably not optimistic indeed!"

After listening to Dunn's report, Lloyd did not speak, but after a long while he let out a long sigh.

"We must rebuild our intelligence services in South Korea!"

As he spoke, he looked at Dunn, which made Dunn's heart beat fast.

It turns out that this old guy wants me to go to the South Korean front to help him set up an intelligence department, right?

Dunn's mind was working rapidly, trying to break the impasse as soon as possible. He did not want to go to South Korea during this period.

Even if the future trend is stable, he doesn't really want to go.

Because the risk was too high, he really didn't want to go against the Chinese Volunteer Army.

Suddenly Dunn's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a suggestion before Lloyd opened his mouth to refute him.

"Sir, I'm telling you the truth! Under the current circumstances, it will be extremely difficult for us to restore our intelligence capabilities on the Korean Peninsula, because Marshal Mai will not cooperate with us at all!

Under the current circumstances, no matter who you send, it will be difficult to accomplish the existing goal!"

The last sentence is the key point, but Wen reminded Lloyd indirectly that even if he was sent to South Korea, there would be no accidents, and he would definitely face a situation where he was at a loss.

However, looking at Luo Yi's slightly frowned brows, Dunn knew that Lloyd must be dissatisfied with him shirking responsibility.

So Dunn quickly continued.

"In my opinion, if we want to restore the intelligence capabilities of the peninsula, we must bypass Marshal Mai!"

"What exactly do you mean? Just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush!"

It can be seen that due to the high-intensity work for several consecutive days, Lloyd did not get enough rest and did not want to do anything that required his brain.

“Sir, in this situation, I think we can refer to the method we discussed before regarding big things!

Support some South Koreans to help us collect intelligence on the front line! We don't need our people to go out in person, especially the European and American agents. Marshal Mai's army will definitely be wary of us when we go to the front line!

So the current situation is that we have to mobilize the local people on the South Korean side!

Let them serve us!

Hello, aren’t there a large number of South Korean officials, both big and small, who want to transport their families to a safe area through me?

That would be equivalent to holding their families in our hands, as hostages!

Of course we can't say it so harshly openly. We can only say that we help them take care of their wives, children and the elderly, and let them pay a price for it, and the price is to work for us!

In this case, Marshal Mai should be completely unaware of this! He would not have thought that we would use South Korean officials to obtain information from the front line!"

After hearing Dunn's idea, Lloyd's eyes lit up at first, then he frowned.

"Are those sticks reliable? Judging from their performance on the battlefield..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dunn.

"Sir, I know that the South Korean army performed very poorly on the battlefield!

But fighting a war and gathering intelligence are two completely different things. Not being able to fight well does not mean that we cannot gather intelligence. Moreover, we are not counting on the officers on the front line to help us gather intelligence. There is also the South Korean government. All those who entrust us to send their families out can be used by us!"

But he had to persuade Lloyd to listen to him, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with his plan.

So far, if the CIA wants to restore its intelligence capabilities on the peninsula, it is most appropriate to let South Koreans do these things.

"And the Li Changji that I was communicating with was originally an agent lurking in the Red Empire area. I think it is most appropriate to let him preside over this matter!"

Dunn discovered that this time even the personnel seemed to be ready.

"Is this person reliable?"

Lloyd's frown didn't relax at all.

"At present, he should be one of the most reliable people. After all, his family members are all in my hands. He has no choice but to cooperate with our work!"

Lloyd finally smiled.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Win over Li Changji!"

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really better to chat silently and persuade Lee Chang-gi than to send him to the front line in South Korea.

So Dunn had no choice but to send Lloyd back and immediately go to see Li Changji.

There was no way. If we didn't find Li Changji as soon as possible, he would probably return to the peninsula soon.

Dunn didn't want to follow him to the Peninsula and see him again.

I explained everything to him while he was still in Japan.

"Mr. Du, why did you come to see me?"

After arriving at the hotel where several South Korean generals were staying, Dunn immediately notified the front desk to invite Li Changji over.

It was already early morning and Li Changji was lying in bed ready to go to sleep, but was told by the waiter that a man who claimed to be Mr. Du was looking for him.

Although he was very tired, Lloyd still had to get up and go to Dunn's car.

To be on the safe side, Dunn focused the negotiations on Lloyd's car.

"Mr. Li, our CITIC Bureau is currently experiencing some trouble in the Peninsula..."

Dunn told Li Changji half-truthfully about Jiang Xian's embarrassing situation in the CIA.

Of course, Marshal Mai refused to cooperate with the CIA and he did not tell the other party. It was better not to talk about such a scandal in front of Li Changji.

"Based on this, we would like to recruit Mr. Li into our CIA. What do you think of you working for us in the future?"

Dunn's tone was calm, but Li Changji could hear that it meant he would not refuse.

Although Dunn's words sounded nice, Li Changji, as a veteran in the intelligence community, knew that once he accepted the commission from the Central Youth Bureau, many things in the future would no longer be up to him.

Moreover, if you think with your buttocks, you will not know that what the CIA wants to do on its own may very likely harm the interests of South Korea.

He didn't want to agree, but after thinking about it, he realized that the other party now controlled the life and death of his family. If Dunn's family was rejected, it would not be easy for him.

For a moment, Li Changji was in a dilemma.

Of course, Dunn also saw Li Changji's dilemma. He had to make Li Changji agree to this matter, otherwise the old man Lloyd would most likely send himself to South Korea to re-establish the CIA's intelligence agency on the peninsula.

"Mr. Li, don't feel any psychological burden! Working for us is also protecting your motherland!

Now it is difficult to resist the troops from the north and China relying solely on your country's own strength!

So helping us fix our intelligence services on the Peninsula would be helping you, wouldn't it?

And I can make the decision. All civil servants in South Korea will be under the command of Mr. Li!"

Li Changji still didn't say anything. He really couldn't make up his mind.
