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

However, after thinking about what Li Changji said, Dunn gave up, because Li Changji's identity was too sensitive. But it can be seen that Li Changji still has some patriotic feelings. If this beautiful Chinese were to control the economic lifeline of South Korea in the future, Li Changji probably would not want to see such a situation.

There is no need to rush this matter. We can use Cui Dongjin's network of connections to slowly conduct an investigation. After all, Cui Dongjin's plan is to find a few spokespersons.

However, from that day on, Dunn was extra careful when he came into contact with South Korean personnel, especially businessmen, to see if there were any families that he would be familiar with in later generations.

The most important thing is the brand that future generations are familiar with.

With this careful attention, Dunn actually discovered two, Hyundai and LG.

However, compared with the prosperous chaebols in later generations, their main businesses now are the construction industry and the chemical industry.

If Dunn had not traveled through time from the year 2024, he would never have imagined that these two ordinary companies would grow into chaebols that could influence the fate of the entire South Korean nation.

However, now that he had found his target, Dunn gradually began to contact the managers of these two companies.

We gradually started to invest in their business and found ways to get them some orders in order to lay the foundation for the next step of cooperation and acquisition of them.

On the other hand, Park Yoo-sung's performance was also quite good, which finally made Dunn determined to copy the businessman he had been cooperating with since he entered the South Korean market.

Dunn understood that as a foreigner, it was impossible for him to directly establish companies and consortiums to directly control the country of South Korea, and their country certainly did not want this to happen.

So they changed their strategy. As long as they could have absolute say among these chaebols in the future, it would basically be equivalent to controlling half of South Korea.

Although this land is not large and its population is not too large, it is still quite large compared to those European countries. When the economies of the so-called Four Asian Tigers begin to take off in the future, Dunn's assets are expected to benefit and increase several times.

Although he still has to wait for more than 20 years, Dunn can afford to wait.

Dunn has not yet found some other conglomerates, such as Samsung, Lotte, and SK.

But Dunn is not so anxious about this.

When the time is right, these financial groups will always emerge. As long as there is a name that he will be familiar with in the future, Dunn will never let it go.

On the other hand, Dunn was also carrying out the matters he had discussed with Liu Liyuan in an orderly manner. He received a lot of intelligence about the mainland from Liu Liyuan. Some of this intelligence was true, some was false, and some was real. It had only one purpose - the mainland was fully prepared for a long-term war.

If the war continued, it would only be a meaningless waste of resources, so Duan En would hand over as much intelligence as he could. But he had no idea whether it would be useful.

At the beginning, Dunn was indeed ambitious to end the war within this year, and the best scenario was that everything would end at the first Panmunjom negotiations.

Unfortunately, after hearing William's analysis, Dunn knew that this wish was doomed to fail. The first store agreement was likely to end in failure like in the past.

However, Dunn is still doing what he should do. If this kind of thing cannot be done in one go, just do it slowly. There will always be a time when it can be done. As long as a solid foundation is laid and the war-weariness in the United States reaches a certain level, the problems that need to be solved will naturally be solved.

"That's the thing. The mainland is preparing for war very actively, and with the secret support of the Red Empire, I'm afraid that if we can't quickly defeat the mainland army, the war will fall into a long stalemate!"

Dunn was looking at Lloyd in front of him as he was reporting. He was currently in Tokyo and had come specifically to report recent developments to Lloyd.

"In fact, since our second attempt to land behind the peninsula failed, the war has inevitably entered a stalemate phase. According to the current situation, if we don't use mushroom eggs, it will be difficult for us to make a substantial breakthrough on the battlefield. In my personal opinion, this war is entering an extremely meaningless stage!"

"So your suggestion is to end this war as soon as possible?"

Lloyd asked back.

"Sir, I still maintain my usual attitude in this situation. This war has become meaningless to us!

I admit that deep down I want to end the war quickly so that you can return to the headquarters and I can naturally take over your current position."

At this point, Dunn shrugged at Lloyd. Even if he made such a joke to Lloyd, Lloyd would not be angry. In fact, Lloyd wanted the war to end more than Dunn did. His mind was not on the Far East at all.

"But put these thoughts aside!

At present, it is an indisputable fact that our frontline troops are unable to completely defeat the mainland’s volunteer army and the North Korean army!

If the war continues, it will only increase casualties on both sides! I admit that I underestimated the mainland's army before, but judging from their current combat effectiveness and what we have learned about their internal situation, they are not afraid of a long tug-of-war!

In fact, that’s how they brought Japan down during the World War!”

"Dun, I know everything you said! But I have to tell you some unfortunate news. From what I know now, the higher-ups have no intention of stopping this war!

Some of our top brass are still not convinced and think that the mainland can't hold out for long! And these damn guys don't care about the lives of the soldiers on the front line at all, they only have their own interests in mind!"

By the end, Dunn could clearly hear the anger in Lloyd's tone.

"Sir, in fact, I am one of them. My brother and I are also working hard to squeeze out the production capacity of our factory in the isolated island area every day. If the war can continue, our factory will have a steady stream of orders. To be honest, this is indeed very tempting!"

Dunn did not hide the fact that he had opened a factory in the isolated island from Lloyd, but he did not let Lloyd invest in it, nor did he give Lloyd a share of the profits. With his brother Antonio backing him up, Lloyd could not say anything.

Moreover, Lloyd really didn't dare to offend Antonio. Although the profits from the factory were quite tempting, Antonio would never tolerate Lloyd's involvement.

In addition, Allen Dulles, the younger brother of the Dulles brothers who had a good relationship with Antonio, was likely to be appointed as the director of the CIA soon. This made Lloyd even more afraid to make a move.

In addition, Dunn also made a lot of money from other businesses such as smuggling and illegal immigration to South Korea, and his monthly income was also on a higher level, so Lloyd would not think about making some profits from Dunn's factory.

"I forgot that the self-heating pot produced by your factory is now the most popular food on the front line of the peninsula!"

Lloyd calmed down and said with a smile.

So he did not interfere with the interests of the Lone Island Food Factory, but it would be a lie to say that he was not jealous. It was just because Lloyd thought that this factory should be Antonio's property, but he handed it over to Dunn to manage it. Compared to that, Lloyd did not dare to offend Antonio.

“The benefits are tempting, sir!

But I was a soldier before, and I have been on the battlefield. I know the battlefield. It was already very difficult to deal with the Japanese back then, and now the mainland army seems to be more difficult than the Japanese. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for our soldiers on the front line, so I don’t want this kind of benefit to continue! ”

Dunn pretended to empathize. Although he traveled to this body when the war was coming to an end, this body actually participated in the Pacific War throughout.

"We have no say in these matters. We can only give suggestions on whether to stop the war or not. As for whether the higher-ups will adopt our suggestions, that depends on their mood!"

Lloyd said helplessly that although war is a stepping stone to progress, Lloyd really didn't have much ambition at the moment. Based on Dunn's efforts and intelligence collected on the South Korean front, his contributions were enough for him to return. However, due to the ongoing war, his plan to return home had to be postponed, which was what annoyed Lloyd.

But no matter how angry he was, he was powerless.

"I will continue to report the intelligence you submitted to my superiors and will also put forward our suggestions!

I hope there are more rational people up there, so that this damn war can end soon!"

Lloyd sighed.

But Dunn could also tell from Roy's tone that his immediate superior had no confidence at all in the end of the war.

Dunn was somewhat helpless about this. It seemed that his efforts were doomed to fail. The Panmunjom negotiations in 51 would not have any results. The war had to continue, but Dunn was not discouraged. If it failed in 51, he would try to make it happen in 52.

The worst possible outcome would be to wait until July 53.

"I understand, sir! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I will go back to South Korea early tomorrow morning!"

Dunn pretended not to care, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Come have dinner with me tonight. William also arrived in Japan this afternoon! He will also fly back to China tomorrow. You should have met in Hong Kong before. Let's meet again today!"
