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

After hearing the reasons given by Dunn, Jackson nodded slightly.

"But Mr. Klein, I heard that the personnel from the isolated island will arrive in a few days. Even if we start building a house now, it may be too late, right?"

Jackson thought about it and asked about the counselors from the isolated island who would come. He knew about it.

“It’s a little too late, but we must show our attitude. We can do without it now. If we don’t, we will only be laughed at by those people on the isolated island!

At least we had already started construction when they showed up, so that seems like the right thing to do, right?"

"But, Mr. Klein! Some of the building materials for the construction rooms are easy to solve. They can be directly brought here from South Korea. But it may be difficult to find a construction team at the moment. You know, there is a war going on in the peninsula!"

Jackson raised his question again.

"Mr. Major! We just need to bring the construction materials. As for the construction workers, don't we have plenty of them?"

Dunn said this while pointing to the prisoners inside the barbed wire.

Jackson immediately nodded in sudden realization.

Dunn continued.

"And by having them build the cells to hold them, we can save a lot of labor costs, and we have the final say on how to spend the money we save!"

Dunn said, winking at Jackson.

"Yeah!"

Jackson was certainly aware of these problems. He had just mentioned that he couldn't find any construction workers in order to test Dunn.

He had always been worried that Dunn was a stubborn person. You know, he brought a lot of money. If he really used all of it to improve the lives of prisoners of war, Jackson would feel sorry for him. He was afraid that the heads of other aspects of the island would not agree.

Fortunately, the CIA agent in front of him did not have such rigid thinking.

Looking at the smile on Jackson's face, Dunn was silent.

He knew that it was basically impossible to use all the funds he applied for to improve the lives of prisoners of war.

If the American officers and soldiers who received the money, as well as various military intelligence agencies of all sizes, did not make some money out of it, it would be difficult for them to use it to improve the lives of the prisoners of war.

So Dunn had to leave a loophole for them to embezzle money, so that at least part of the money would be used in the right way.

Moreover, if the soldiers in combat uniforms were used as the construction team, Dunn felt that they should be able to complete the project with better quality. After all, even if they were building prison cells, they would be the ones to live in.

Moreover, there is no rush to speed up the construction progress, and I believe the soldiers guarding the island will not push them too much. As long as their money is in place, they probably won't care too much about the problems at work.

Next, Dunn walked around the POW camp and got a general understanding of the current situation in the camp. To be honest, he was very sad. Although Jackson was explaining next to him, Dunn basically ignored his words until the end.

Because this guy has been explaining the issue of prisoners of war, as well as the contempt and discrimination against prisoners of war from both China and North Korea.

It even mocked the attitude of the Volunteer Army towards American prisoners of war.

Maybe it was because Dunn had left him some money, which made him gradually excited. The boy's words were meaningless, so Dunn just treated him as fart.

After visiting the prisoner-of-war camp, Jackson took Dunn to his residence.

Although the conditions in Camp Zhanfu are not very good, the local US military base is quite good. Although the conditions are not very good, it depends on who you compare with.

If the prisoners in the POW camps had 1/10 of the accommodation conditions they had, many of them would probably be thankful.

After arranging Dunn's room, Jackson let Dunn rest for a while. In the evening, he took Dunn to meet the heads of various departments on the island.

Among them are officers from the U.S. military garrison and officers from South Korea's garrison.

There are also heads of various military intelligence departments.

Most of these people heard Jackson talk about Dunwin's plan to build barracks and the loopholes left for them to embezzle.

So everyone is very enthusiastic about Dunn.

Deep down, Dunn didn't want to have too much contact with the group of people in front of him.

Because Dunn knew that if he did not intervene in the work of prisoners of war, according to the original history, these people would all be executioners who abused the prisoners.

Although there was no large-scale death among the prisoners in the POW camps, a considerable number of them were abducted to isolated islands in the future.

So Dunn could only deal with it with a forced smile throughout the whole process.

At the banquet specially held for Dunn, Dunn didn't even drink much wine and had no appetite to eat.

He held on until the end of the banquet, and after everyone had left, he returned to his room.

Although he drank some wine, considering Dunn's alcohol tolerance, the wine did not affect his thinking.

To be honest, since Dunn came to Geoje Island and dealt with people from all walks of life on the island today, he realized that the matter regarding the volunteer army prisoners of war might not be that simple.

Although Deng applied for preferential treatment for volunteer army prisoners of war, how long can these last?

Dunn was not quite sure, but he knew that when the future war lasted longer and the situation on the front line became tense.

By then, I'm afraid the battle axe will be restored to its previous state.

It might even be like the original history, where most of the volunteer army prisoners of war would be deceived and taken to an isolated island.

I have actually thought about this seriously, in order to reduce the suffering of the volunteer army prisoners of war.

Seriously persuading them to go directly to the isolated island would show that Dunn's work was effective and would also allow the volunteer soldiers to suffer less.

But although he had never come into contact with the volunteers, just from the hatred they showed when he entered the Zhanfu Camp for a visit today, Dunn knew that this job was definitely not an easy one.

And even if the prisoners of war could go to an isolated island, would they really suffer less?

You have to know that the isolated island side couldn’t even take good care of the nearly one million troops they brought over, let alone the prisoners of war that came later?

Moreover, Dunn, who traveled through time, knew that these volunteer soldiers who were abducted to the isolated island did not have a good end.

You may be able to endure the suffering in a prisoner-of-war camp for a while, but that may not be the case once you are on an isolated island.

You have to know that this is only the first year of the Peninsula War, and there are still nearly two years to go.

Dunn knows that the Hanfu issue has always been an obstacle to future peace talks on the peninsula.

The bottom line is that the United States is unwilling to accept its defeat on the battlefield and wants to discredit the mainland's prisoners of war in other aspects, which is what they value.

In resolving the issue of prisoners of war, the United States has always adhered to the principle of "voluntariness".

But in fact, they have been using violence and coercion behind the scenes to create the illusion that most prisoners of war are unwilling to return home.

In order to discredit and defame the Volunteer Army and the mainland.

When I visited the POW camp with Jackson today, although it was generally quite rushed, I was able to see some internal information of the camp, including the U.S. agents who tried to persuade the POWs to surrender.

It can be seen that these surrender personnel tried hard to create the illusion that the prisoners of war would be punished when they returned home.

It’s a pity that the results seem to be minimal.

However, as time goes by, it becomes uncertain, especially after the arrival of spies from the isolated island. They should have more ways to deal with the prisoners of war who are also Chinese.

Think about the 1.4 volunteer soldiers who were unable to return to their motherland in later generations.

I knew that these agents from isolated islands were definitely not easy to deal with.

Dunn was somewhat helpless about this. All he could do was to slightly improve the living conditions for the prisoners of war, but in fact, Dunn had no way to solve the plight of the prisoners of war.

Dunn could hardly sleep that night.

On the second day, still accompanied by Jackson, I conducted an on-site inspection of Geoje Island.

The locations for the prisoners' cells were chosen.

"Mr. Klein, according to your plan, this prisoner-of-war camp will be able to accommodate at least 1 prisoners of war after it is built. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

After listening to Dunn's plan, Jackson asked in surprise.

"Is it exaggerated? On the contrary, I think this scale is not enough. You know, there are nearly 100,000 North Korean prisoners of war on Geoje Island, not counting the Chinese prisoners!

I'm afraid it's not enough for me to meet a place with more than 1 people!

In the future, we can continue to apply for funds while we build, because the number of prisoners of war will definitely continue to increase!

If we only build it once, we can only get the money once and apply multiple times. If we are approved, we can get the money multiple times. Major, you should understand what I mean!"

Dun Enwei narrowed his eyes, stretched out a hand with a slightly greedy look, and rubbed his index and middle fingers back and forth with his thumb.

"understand!"

Jackson's eyes visibly lit up, but he quickly hid it.

Dunn also chuckled and said nothing more.

The subsequent work went very smoothly. That afternoon, the garrison on Geoje Island had organized personnel to go to North Korea to purchase construction materials.

But he was stopped by Dunn.

Because they could not trust Dunn, the defenders in the morning were afraid that they would embezzle the building materials, take more than they deserve, and pass off inferior materials as good ones.

He resolutely took on the responsibility of purchasing building materials. Other intelligence agencies and garrisons on the island were helpless. In their opinion, Dunn wanted to deduct more funds by purchasing building materials, so they had to accept it.

After all, the funds were applied for by the CIA, and all financial expenditures were in Dunn's hands.

Dunn called Feng Enshuo in Hong Kong and asked Park Youcheng to come to Geoje Island as soon as possible.

It was appropriate to give this task to Park Youcheng. Park Youcheng's family originally did real estate business in South Korea, and he also had some connections in terms of building materials.
