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

“Sir, regarding the matter of prisoners of war you mentioned last time, after research we decided that it is better to wait and see, because this kind of matter is too sensitive. You don’t need to rush around too much for the prisoners of war, so as not to arouse suspicion!

The above means that the issue of prisoners of war must be discussed after the war, but we also respect the personal opinions of prisoners of war. If some people want to go to an isolated island, we have no objection!

We also thank you for the changes you have made to the living conditions of our prisoners of war."

Liu Liyuan looked at Dunn with some sadness, and it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the decision.

Dunn was not surprised that the mainland gave such a result.

Now that the war is going on, there is no way to ask the United States to return these prisoners of war. This matter must be discussed after the war, but the mainland probably did not have a good anticipation for the shamelessness of the United States and its UN forces.

After the war, the United States did not want to let so many prisoners of war return to the mainland. Many volunteer soldiers who were sent to isolated islands did not know at first that they would be sent to isolated islands.

Perhaps it is not a good choice for these prisoners of war to return to the mainland at this time, but going to an isolated island is also not a good choice. It can only be said that it is really sad for these volunteer soldiers who were captured on the battlefield.

"I understand. In the future, I will focus on preventing husband abuse in prisoner-of-war camps. I will not worry about other things for now. However, when the war comes to an end, I still hope that the other party can make a plan to rescue the prisoners of war as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, Dunn did not force it. He felt that it might be more appropriate to give the choice to the prisoners of war. After all, no matter which side the two sides went to, it seemed that the final result would not be good.

In this case, what we need to do is to prevent the American and South Korean soldiers in the POW camps from abusing the prisoners.

At least Dunn has done this work with a clear conscience. At least no matter whether it is the people sent by the isolated island or the South Korean side, they dare not abuse the prisoners. The only pity is that some soldiers of the United States have not changed at all.

Although Dunn was somewhat helpless about this, he could not influence the US military. He could only take a small notebook and write down those soldiers who had abused prisoners or abused prisoners multiple times, and send them to the front line of the battlefield when the opportunity arose.

Or wait until after the war to settle accounts with them! These soldiers can't stay in the army forever, there will always be a time to retire, right?

By then, they will just be ordinary people. Facing a CIA agent like me, won't they be at my mercy?

"Mr. Liu, there is one more thing. I hope you can continue to convey my opinions to the government behind you!"

Hearing what Dunn said, Liu Liyuan put aside his previous sad mood and nodded.

"Mr. Du, what's the matter?"

"Since Li Qiwei became the commander-in-chief of the front line, the current war has fallen into a tense situation for both of us. I am afraid that you will definitely not be able to achieve the same results as the first and second battles in the future. Although it is unlikely that we can push the front line back, we should still be able to maintain the current situation. So I hope that the other party will make plans early and try to negotiate things out. It is just right for the situation on the peninsula to remain as it is now!"

According to the original historical line, the situation before the war was maintained. This is really a very good result. No matter which side of the North and the South annexed or unified the entire peninsula, it would not be a good thing for the mainland.

So Dunn really thinks that maintaining the status quo in the peninsula is the best option. Since the battle line will eventually be maintained near the 38th parallel, the issue can be resolved through negotiations earlier, and the consumption on the mainland will not be so great. After all, the mainland has just been founded, and many things in the country have not yet stabilized. If you keep focusing on the peninsula, it will really delay a lot of development time. Although the peninsula war only lasted for three years, three years is not long, but it is not short either!

"Now that I am the deputy director of the Far East Branch of the Central Youth Bureau, I will provide intelligence on the South Korean battlefield that is unfavorable to the United States and the United Nations forces to the higher-ups, in order to shorten the war as much as possible!

At the same time, we should also promote bilateral negotiations as soon as possible. Restoring peace earlier will also be of great benefit to the other party. After all, your main focus should be on the domestic situation. Let the North and South resolve the issues on the peninsula!"

Liu Liyuan nodded. He agreed with Dunn's point of view.

It should be said that from the very beginning he did not want the mainland to intervene in the war on the peninsula, simply because what the United States did was really too much. If the mainland did not participate in the war, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the prestige of the newly established mainland.

The current war has also proved the mainland's combat effectiveness, and has also won the respect of the United Nations led by the United States. It is indeed a good thing to end the war as soon as possible.

"I will convey Mr. Du's opinions to the higher-ups, but I'm not sure about the opinions of our top management. I'm afraid this matter won't go so smoothly. After all, you have stabilized the front a little now, and you must still want to move forward. Even if we negotiate, I feel it's unlikely to happen in the first half of this year!"

Liu Liyuan said with a frown.

"There is indeed no rush for this, but we have to prepare for it in advance!"

Dunn really admired Liu Liyuan's judgment. According to the original historical line, the first negotiation was the Panmunjom negotiation in June 1. However, the two sides did not reach any substantive results in this negotiation.

But Dunn felt that he should try hard to see if he could resolve the war on the peninsula during the negotiations in June 51.

As long as we can pass some information that is unfavorable to the war to the top leaders of the United States and publicize the mainland's determination to fight this war, I believe that as long as we can attract the attention of the top leaders, perhaps the negotiations in June should have unexpected results. If the war on the peninsula is stopped at this point, then the mainland will have more than a year of development time and will no longer have to spend all its energy on the peninsula region.

"I will express your determination and preparations to our top leaders. Mr. Liu, you will be responsible for conveying my opinions to the other side's top leaders. If they agree, I will redouble my efforts and try to end the war within this year!"
