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

"You need to go to work by yourself today!"

After getting up this morning, Dunn said to Rui while eating breakfast.

"Are you...going to South Korea again?"

After hearing Dunn's words, Rui raised his head and asked with a worried look on his face.

After seeing Dunn nod silently, Rui put down the knife and fork in his hand.

"It's too dangerous over there! How about I ask my brother to talk to Mr. Lloyd and tell him not to send you to such a dangerous place!"

Dunn could tell that Ray was genuinely concerned about his safety, so he smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, the Peninsula is dangerous for other people! But for our CIA agents, it may not be that dangerous!"

"Don't lie to me. Our situation on the peninsula is very unfavorable right now! If you go to the front line at this time, something unexpected might happen!"

Rui said with a frown on his face.

Although Dunn will not be staying in Hong Kong for a long time recently, his relationship with Rui Yi has not been affected. Instead, it has taken a step forward.

Now the two of them have gone from sleeping in separate rooms to sleeping in the same room.

This may be what is meant by "a short separation makes the heart grow fonder". Long-term separation has not diluted the feelings between the two people.

"I'm not lying to you, this is true!"

Dunn said helplessly.

"The relationship between our CIA and Marshal MacArthur is not good, so our CIA has been unable to rebuild a branch in South Korea. Now even if I want to go to South Korea to establish a branch, I can only operate in Busan. You know that Busan is at the southernmost tip of the peninsula.

If the Chinese can really attack Busan, I should have a long time to react. Come here, and then just evacuate. You know, that's how the last branch of the Peninsula evacuated!"

"really?"

Rui Yi still didn't quite believe it.

"Of course it's true. I think I told you before! Because our CIA wants to bring down Marshal Mai, Marshal Mai is very dissatisfied with us. If it weren't for his obstruction, I'm afraid we would have established our branch in South Korea long ago!

Don't worry, I won't lie to you. And to be honest, even if I am really captured by the Chinese, you don't have to worry so much.

The Chinese are well-known for treating prisoners well. Don't believe what the newspapers say.

According to the information we have, the prisoners captured by the mainland volunteers are now living a good life! "

It seems that whether it is the mainland of this era or the mainland of the future, it has always been the target of smearing in the Western media.

Even the best treatment the Volunteer Army did in terms of treating prisoners well was distorted and smeared by the Western media.

Usually, Western media would find some vague photos to frame the Chinese People's Volunteer Army for abusing prisoners.

Although the volunteers took a lot of photos of the prisoners' lives in the rear and sent them to major mainstream media, even when they published these photos, they would specifically mark that they were taken by the Chinese side.

The only thing missing is printing the posed photos of the Chinese directly in the newspaper. Dunn feels very disgusted by this practice, but his metropolitan newspaper can only do this for now.

Including the Chinese version of Hong Kong Metropolis Daily.

“Are those photos of Chinese people posing and published before real?”

Rui asked in surprise.

In the eyes of Westerners of that era, treating prisoners well seemed to be an incredible thing.

Even though the Geneva Treaty was formulated by Westerners, everyone in the world knows how many countries truly abide by it.

In other words, our country is relatively honest and faithfully implements the Geneva Treaty, and even does better than the Geneva Treaty.

"That was not a staged photo. According to the information we have, those prisoners of war were not abused at all in the hands of the volunteers. Maybe some of them unfortunately fell into the hands of the North Korean army and suffered some bad things!

But the fate of those who fall into the hands of the Chinese is definitely not that miserable!

They even eat better than the volunteers!"

“Are the mainland’s volunteer troops really that good?”

In this era when information was not well developed, most people basically believed what was written in newspapers, including Rui Yi, who found it hard to imagine why the mainland army treated prisoners of war well.

"This is actually where the mainland is smarter. Our army will never learn this from them!"

Dunn let out a long sigh, and continued to explain as Rui still looked confused.

"You have to know! If you can treat prisoners of war well, then think about it. If your enemy's army is forced into a desperate situation, will they choose to fight you to the death first? Or will they surrender honestly and go to your rear prisoner-of-war camp to enjoy a similar vacation treatment?"

After Dunn finished speaking, Rui Yi fell into silence for a long time. She frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

"I have to say...if it were me, I would choose to surrender!"

After a long while, Rui Yi finally gave her answer. It was obvious that she had been struggling for a long time before giving this answer.

"So, once the Volunteer Army is in a desperate situation, they will never retreat, because they know that they will not have a good ending if they fall into our hands. On the contrary, our frontline troops will have more choices, and most people are not so willing to die!"

Dunn pretended to sigh again, but he was really worried in his heart. You know, the war had been going on for such a long time and the volunteers had already crossed the Yalu River.

Although the war had been going relatively smoothly, some soldiers from some troops were still captured.

In the future, when Ridgway takes charge of the battlefield on the peninsula, there should be more prisoners of war of the Volunteer Army.

To be honest, the attitudes of the US army and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army towards prisoners of war are completely opposite.

The last time I went to the peninsula, I did not pay attention to the issue of volunteer army prisoners of war.

It seems that after the establishment of the CIA branch in South Korea this time, as an intelligence department, Dunn can openly accept prisoners of war captured by the army.

Based on the CIA's previous practice, it should not provide too much humanitarian care to prisoners of war.

But if Dunn were to take charge of this matter, perhaps there would be room for maneuver. Dunn felt that he should do more.

After breakfast, Rui Yi went to work alone, and Deng Enze sat at home and waited for a while.

A car belonging to a newspaper member stopped at his door. Dunn went out directly, got in the car and was taken to the airport. All the agents he had selected were already waiting for him at the airport.

Everyone boarded a plane directly to Japan and arrived in Japan after a few hours of flight.

After Dunn arranged for the agents to follow him, he went to meet Lloyd.

"Sir, the people I prepared are already in place. Have the people you sent in arrived?"

After seeing Lloyd, Dunn asked first.

“They haven’t arrived yet. After all, they have to fly over from China. You can take your people to South Korea first!

First, build the overall framework. When my people arrive, I will ask them to go to South Korea to find you!"

Dunn nodded and then looked hesitant again.

Lloyd asked with a slight smile after seeing Dunn's expression.

"If you have anything to say to me, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to be so shy!"

"That's right, sir! I haven't been idle in Hong Kong these past few days. I sorted out the information I reported to you before! I found a pattern, and I also have a small suggestion for you!"

After saying this, Dunn's expression became more hesitant.

"It's just that my suggestion may be a little... a little unorthodox!"

"It's okay, just tell me directly. If your suggestion is really feasible, I will consider implementing it!"

Lloyd thought he understood Dunn quite well and knew his abilities.

This subordinate always has some novel ideas and unique insights.

"It's like this. I recently carefully studied the battle records between the enemy and us, and I found an interesting pattern!"

Dunn gritted his teeth in a pretentious manner, as if he had made up his mind before speaking.

"Sir, if you noticed the intelligence I gave you before, after being surrounded by the Volunteer Army, a considerable number of our troops chose to surrender directly. Of course, I am not saying that it is absolute!

Some of our troops will fight the Chinese to the end!

But if you count carefully, you will find that in this situation, most people still surrender! We have to admit this!"

Lloyd nodded and motioned for Dunn to continue.

"I have been thinking about this for a long time but I still can't figure it out. We are both the same people, why do we make the same choice? Most of the Chinese will choose to fight us, while a considerable number of our great American army will choose to surrender!

Later, after analyzing many aspects and considering my experience as a soldier, I roughly figured out the reason! "

"what reason?"

It is obvious that Lloyd is also more concerned about the United States army and other UN forces.

The problem of surrender continues despite repeated bans, and the proportion is quite exaggerated.

"Sir, in fact, although our media has reported that the Chinese abused prisoners! But to be honest, you and I should know that these things are probably fabricated!

We all know the attitude of the Volunteer Army towards prisoners, which is definitely more humane!

We know that many troops on the front lines are also aware of this!

But in comparison, our approach to North Korea and the service of the Volunteer Army is basically the opposite of that of the other side!

Put yourself in my shoes. If I were still a soldier, and the company I led was surrounded by the Volunteer Army, with no chance of breaking out, I would most likely not choose to fight desperately, because fighting desperately might not guarantee survival, while surrendering would definitely guarantee survival. Although the food might not be very good, at least I would be alive and well, right?"
