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

"Sir, the prisoners have now been taken to Geoje Island and are being guarded by soldiers there! The conditions there aren't very good, so there's really no need for you to go and see for yourself!"

Although the prisoners of war have been handed over to the CIA, their custody is still handled by a part of the United States military, and the prisoners of war are basically gathered on Geoje Island in the southern part of the peninsula.

Prior to this, the U.S. guard troops' treatment of North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war was basically inhumane.

According to information obtained later, there was only one tent for every 50 prisoners of war.

But at this point, Dunn couldn't imagine the living conditions there.

Before all the prisoners of war were imprisoned in the Geoje Island prisoner-of-war camp, their few personal belongings would be robbed by American soldiers.

You have to know what valuable personal belongings the volunteer soldiers of this era had?

Although Dunn's proposal to improve the living conditions of prisoners of war had been approved, Dunn did not believe in the execution capabilities of the American military.

He wouldn't even believe the group of agents he brought with him.

So he had to go to the prisoner-of-war camp no matter what, at least to supervise the work there.

Some funds to improve the lives of prisoners of war have begun to arrive, and whether these funds can be implemented is also something Dunn must pay attention to.

No matter what is related to money, corruption is inevitable, not to mention that the quality of the U.S. military is also worrying.

"This is an important task assigned to me by my superiors. How can I slack off?"

Dunn looked seriously at his men who were advising him.

"And now we basically have nothing to do in the peninsula, all intelligence gathering work is done by those male North Koreans.

If I can't even complete the task assigned to me by Mr. Lloyd, how can I face Mr. Lloyd?"

Seeing that Dunn spoke so resolutely, his subordinates dared not persuade him anymore and could only follow Dunn and board the ship to Geoje Island.

Although Dunn had been mentally prepared along the way, he was still shocked by the scene when he arrived at the Sniper Island POW camp.

I knew that the United States never attached importance to the custody of prisoners of war, but I didn't expect the conditions in the prisoner-of-war camps to be so poor.

Basically, it corresponds one to one with the information Dunn obtained later.

Due to insufficient tents, most of the volunteer army prisoners of war and some North Korean prisoners of war were guarded by Lu Tian.

A portion of funds has been allocated to build some houses on Geoje Island for the captured prisoners of war to live in.

But so far, there is no sign of construction anywhere on the entire island.

It seems that these American officers and soldiers are not clean, but of course I didn't expect them to be so bold. Even if they want to embezzle some funds from the chess players, they can just pretend to do it, right?

At least we can bring some construction workers to the island to make it look like work.

But it is obvious that the American officers and soldiers on the island did not take the orders given from above seriously, or perhaps they did not care about the life and death of the prisoners of war at all.

When Dunn and his party arrived at Geoje Island, they were received by a special person.

In fact, it was not just the Central Bureau that was involved in the work with prisoners of war. Many intelligence agencies of the US military were also involved.

To be honest, the CIA and later units really lack some advantages compared to them. Dunn knows that this task may not be that simple.

"You are Mr. Klein, right?"

A young officer with the rank of major came to meet Dunn.

"Dupain Klein of the CIA's South Korea division!"

Dunn shook hands with the young officer who greeted him expressionlessly and briefly introduced himself.

"I'm Tel Jackson from the 8th Army Intelligence Department!"

The young officers also introduced themselves.

Dunn nodded slightly.

"Major Jackson, please be my guide. I want to see the current situation of the prisoner-of-war camp!"

"Mr. Crane, are you really planning to visit the prisoner-of-war camp?

There is nothing to see in my opinion! Those Chinese and North Koreans have been dealt with properly! "

Jackson said with a smile on his face.

"And you can get a rough idea of ​​what the camp is like right from the outside, can't you?"

There was nothing wrong with what Jackson said. The entire prisoner-of-war camp was surrounded by layers of barbed wire, at least five layers of barbed wire.

It is not an easy task for the Tomahawk inside to escape through the barbed wire.

Because the entire prisoner-of-war camp was surrounded by tall guard towers, although there were no high walls, breaking through the multiple layers of barbed wire was a considerable challenge for the prisoners who did not have any tools.

But it is indeed as Jackson said, you can roughly see the situation inside the POW camp directly from outside the camp.

But what made Dunn dissatisfied was that he felt that this major named Jackson seemed to be trying to intimidate him.

The first request I made when I came here was actually rejected directly.

Dunn had a smile on his face. Although there was a smile on his lips, Jackson felt a chill on the back of his neck when he saw Dunn's gaze.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, Mr. Major! I'm not here to see these prisoners of war anyway!"

At this point, Dunn shrugged.

"But you also know that our CIA has applied for a batch of funds from above to improve the lives of prisoners of war!

The main purpose of my visit this time is to see how to improve the living conditions of these Chinese and North Koreans!

If you don't let me see the specific conditions of the prisoner-of-war camp, I won't know whether I should spend the money, right?"

The funds were applied for by the CIA, so all uses must also be approved by the CIA.

Dunn's meaning is very simple. You will have the opportunity to reap the benefits only when this money is used. If this money cannot be used, it will always be in the hands of the CIA.

Jackson's expression also changed. Of course he understood the meaning of Dunn's words.

According to the rules, whoever applies for the funds has the right to use them.

If Deng Lun really doesn't plan to spend the money on Geoje Island, then the people who focus on various aspects really can't think of using the money.

You know, guarding prisoners of war is not a pleasant job.

They finally have a glimmer of hope for an opportunity to make some money, but if the CIA agent in front of them doesn't cooperate, it will be difficult for them to reap the benefits that belong to them.

"Hahaha! Mr. Klein! You're joking! Why wouldn't I let you see the prisoner-of-war camp?

But I don’t think it’s necessary. These Chinese and North Koreans should receive the punishment they deserve, right?

As for improving their living conditions? Isn't it up to us to decide? "

Jackson spoke more cautiously at this time. He realized that although Dunn looked young, he did not seem to be easy to mess with.

"Of course, if you insist on visiting the prisoner-of-war camp, I can also serve as a good guide!"

Since Dunn is not easy to offend and controls the economic lifeline, Jackson knows that he must serve the agent in front of him well.

Seeing Jackson give in so easily, Dunn sneered in his heart.

It seems that these people in the US military are not as tough as they appear.

Dunn, knowing what was going on, did not make things difficult for Jackson. With a genuine smile on his face, he visited the prisoner-of-war camp with Jackson.

As soon as they entered the POW camp, a foul stench hit them in the face. Dunn looked at the volunteers and North Korean prisoners of war scattered throughout the camp, looking at them with hatred.

I don’t know what to say.

The situation was much more serious than Dunn had imagined. Many wounded and sick prisoners of war could not receive any medical treatment at all.

Just now I saw many dying volunteer army prisoners of war who could only be taken care of by their comrades around them, although most of them could live in tents.

But there was nothing in the tent except some straw.

This made Dunn feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it.

At present, the situation of the volunteer army in Qianxian County is relatively smooth, so most of the prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp are from North Korea, and there are not many prisoners of the volunteer army.

This can be easily distinguished from the military uniforms they wear.

In the large and small battles that will break out in the future, more than 2 prisoners of war will be imprisoned here.

Among the more than 2 prisoners of war, excluding those who died, only more than 6000 returned to their homeland.

The remaining 14,000 prisoners of war were either deceived or threatened, and most of them went to Taiwan, with a small number going to other countries.

This is the information Dunn got from a later documentary, and Dunn doesn't remember much else.

"Mr. Klein, look, I told you, there's actually nothing interesting to see in the prisoner-of-war camp!"

Jackson said, rolling his eyes.

"Mr. Major, I don't think so! Look, even some of our correctional officers are working outdoors now. Don't you think it's too shabby?"

Dunn asked back, leaving Jackson speechless.

Looking at Dunn, he pointed at some military personnel inside the barbed wire who were trying to persuade the volunteer army prisoners of war.

Without waiting for Jackson to answer, Dunn continued.

“And you should know that in a few days, personnel from the isolated island will come here to do some educational work, and by the way, they will take some of these prisoners of war back to the isolated island!

If they saw how poor our working conditions were, do you think they would laugh at us behind our backs?

It is a matter of our country's reputation, so we must slightly improve the conditions in the prisoner-of-war camps and build more rooms.

At least our indoctrination staff can't work outdoors, right?"

Dunn tried his best to find some reasonable reasons for himself.
