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

"What's your opinion?"

This is also Dunn's biggest concern at the moment.

"The advice given by the higher-ups is - don't force it, safety is the most important thing!"

Liu Liyuan's face didn't look good. To be honest, he was also a little conflicted.

He knew that Li Zhi said that Dunn should not be allowed to participate in too many risky actions. Even tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers as prisoners of war might not be as important as one Dunn.

But reason is reason, and people are not cold machines after all. Even if they know the most effective choice, when they really get excited, they will still feel some guilt in their hearts.

Dunn was not surprised that Continental made such a decision and just nodded.

Dunn was actually very troubled about the issue of prisoners of war.

Is it really a good idea to send the captured volunteer soldiers back to the mainland? This is something we really need to think about carefully.

Letting them go to Taiwan like this may not be a good thing. Generally speaking, these volunteer soldiers will definitely have a hard life in the next few decades.

Either go to the isolated island or rescue them back to the mainland.

Some of these things are hard to explain, only those who understand will understand.

Even the United States, which claims to be a democratic and free country, has kept prisoners under long-term surveillance after receiving them if they are willing to return to the United States.

Ultimately, the ideological struggle of this era is a struggle between two major camps.

Prisoners of war are just victims of these struggles. Dunn, who came from later generations, cannot change the thinking of people of that era.

I can only try my best to have a clear conscience.

"I see!"

After nodding woodenly, Dunn actually felt uncomfortable.

He also knew that he had done his best to improve the lives of the prisoners in the camp and he couldn't ask for anything more.

After waving his hand to let Liu Liyuan leave his office, Dunn sat quietly in his office chair in a daze.

Dunn's mind was empty and he didn't know what he could do.

In fact, he was also suffering during the two months in the prisoner-of-war camp on Geoje Island. Even with his husband taking care of him, life in the prisoner-of-war camp was still somewhat difficult. Imagine what kind of life those North Korean People's Army and Volunteer Army prisoners of war would have lived without Dunn.

If it weren't for Dunn, the famous Dude incident would have happened in the Sniper Island POW camp in early 52.

Unable to bear the long-term abuse, the Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war held a protest demonstration and demanded that the then commander of the prisoner-of-war camp, Dodd, come to negotiate in person.

But when Dude arrived at the POW camp, he was arrogant and unwilling to negotiate with the prisoners.

He was captured after a surprise attack by the People's Army prisoners in the POW camp.

Although Dodd was released safely afterwards, the U.S. military's attitude towards the POW camp became even worse, and they even launched retaliatory actions.

Now Dunn just hopes that this incident will not happen as it did in the original history.

There is still a whole year until 52. If the top leaders of the United States can maintain this policy of treating prisoners well until 52, or even until the end of 51, as long as the prisoners in the POW camps are no longer abused too much.

This time what happened shouldn't have happened.

This is also the best result Dunn can achieve after taking over the prisoner of war work this time.

Dunn was in a daze until lunch time when Ree knocked on his office door.

After Dunn came to his senses and calmed down, he had lunch with Rui, who then drove him to the airport.

Deng Anze left Hong Kong by plane and flew directly to Tokyo, Japan.

Although he had only been in Hong Kong for three days, the fourth battle had not yet ended, and Li Qiwei could not return to Tokyo during this period, but Marshal Mai had already left Tokyo.

It’s a bit regrettable that Dunn was unable to see McGrady off.

Because Dunn really wanted to see the expression on McGrady's face at this moment.

Dunn was grateful from the bottom of his heart to this famous World War II general who at least indirectly elevated China's status as a founding marshal.

I have been in this era for such a long time, but I have only met Marshal Mai once, which is more or less a bit regrettable.

After waiting for a few more days in Japan, the fourth battle finally came to an end.

The situation on the front line has stabilized a little, but Ridgway has no intention of returning to Tokyo, but Lloyd can't wait any longer.

He took Dunn to the South Korean front to meet Ridgway.

Time is of the utmost importance now. If we fail to seize the time, it will be more difficult to establish the CIA's South Korea branch in the future.

This time, the two men flew directly to Seoul, the capital of South Korea which had just been recovered.

The two failures made the entire city of Seoul look much more dilapidated.

There were ruins of collapsed houses everywhere. Dunn and Lloyd were greeted by Park Yoo-seong who had returned earlier.

He took the two people to his home. Fortunately, Park Youcheng's family survived the war. Thanks to Lee Chang-gi, Park Youcheng's house was not requisitioned. Although the house was not big, it had many rooms. In this case, Lloyd did not care about anything and just lived in Park Youcheng's house.

And after arriving in Seoul, he immediately applied to meet with Ridgway.

Ridgway did not refuse and informed Lloyd that he would come to Seoul the next day to meet with the CIA.

Seeing that Ridgway agreed so decisively, Lloyd finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces should be much easier to talk to.

"Is that Park Yoo-sung your partner?"

After everything was done, Dunn and Lloyd had time to start eating something.

Park Yoo-seong gave his entire house to the two people and moved out.

So now Park Yoo-seong’s villa is basically full of people from the Emotional Bureau.

When he heard Lloyd asking about Park Yoo-seung, he knew that what he had done in South Korea should not have been hidden from his boss.

"Yes, he and I invested in some real estate in South Korea. To be honest, this investment really gave me a cold sweat. I never thought that the Chinese could actually attack the capital of South Korea!

If Seoul cannot be recovered, my investment this time will be a total loss!"

Dunn had a look of relief on his face.

He also wanted to use the extremely high risk this time to subtly remind Lloyd that it was not that he didn't think of him when investing, but that the investment risk this time was too great and he didn't dare to ask him to join in.

"You are indeed a qualified gambler, but I have to say that you won the bet this time!"

Lloyd smiled and put a piece of luncheon meat into his mouth.

"Yes, the victory was too close. I hope that in future wars, Seoul will not be lost again. My heart really can't stand this stimulation!"

Dunn shrugged.

"If Seoul is lost to the South Koreans, I will really curse my mother!"

"Right now, the land and fixed assets of South Korea are really not worth selling, so this is a good opportunity to buy at a bargain price. However, judging from the current combat status of the Chinese, it is really hard to predict the outcome of this future war."

Lloyd also looked worried.

"In my opinion, if you have some drill bits on the land you own, you should sell them right away! You really don't need to do such a risky business!"

Dunn felt relieved after hearing what Lloyd said. This at least showed that Lloyd had no interest in investing in South Korea's land and fixed assets. So Lloyd should not care about making money by investing privately.

"Sir, to be honest, although the price I paid for the land is relatively low, under the current circumstances, I estimate that the price of land around Seoul will remain low for a long time. I won't make any money if I sell it now, and I may even lose money!

This is absolutely unacceptable! To be honest, I am now stuck. I really regret listening to that song and the advice of the agent from the lonely island to invest in real estate in South Korea with him!

It is not so easy to get a new life now, and we can only go down this path. I hope we can win this war, or at least a draw will be fine!"

Dunn made a complaining face and Lloyd smiled.

"Then if I buy the land you acquired at the original price, would you be willing?"

Lloyd's words made Dunn break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that this old guy wanted to take me away?

Although he was surprised, Dunn answered without any hesitation.

"If someone takes over, I'm willing to do it. After all, I don't want to suffer this kind of torture again, worrying all day about whether Seoul will be occupied by the Chinese or North Koreans again!

But if it were you, sir, I would really have to think about it!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Lloyd still had a smile on his face.

"Because there are risks involved, I feel comfortable passing the risk on to others, but if I pass the risk on to you, sir, I would feel really bad!"

At this moment, Dunn thought a lot. If Lloyd really liked the land in his hands, then he would give it to him. After all, the other party had said that he wanted to buy it at the original price. Even if it could reduce the risk a little, Dunn would sell it to him at a small loss.

Anyway, there is plenty of land in South Korea. At worst, he can use the money he gave to Park Yoo-sung to buy land in other parts of South Korea.

There are still two years until the end of the war. During this period, South Korea’s land and some fixed assets will definitely not appreciate in value.

"You are quite cunning! But don't worry, I won't take your land, and I won't invest in South Korea's land! Now I just hope that this war will end as soon as possible, no matter we win or lose!"

Lloyd sighed and said slowly.
