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

After returning to the newspaper, Dunn clearly felt that there were fewer people in the newspaper this time. After all, Kurt had separated the English version of Hong Kong Metropolis Daily and related personnel from the current newspaper.

However, this visit to the newspaper office saved Dunn a lot of trouble. He didn't need to listen to Kurt's reports anymore, and directly called Liu Liyuan.

"Mr. Liu, congratulations on your country's achievements on the front battlefield!"

After the meeting, Dunn first offered his congratulations. Now the fifth battle has ended. Although the fifth battle did not achieve as great results as the previous battles, it has stabilized the defense line after all. Basically, the possibility of the United States launching another sneak attack is infinitely close to zero.

In particular, it shattered the United States' landing plan.

"The war is far from over yet. I wonder how the matter we discussed before, Mr. Du, is going?"

Liu Liyuan asked anxiously. This was the thing he was most concerned about recently. He had been busy with this matter, even though Dunn had clearly told him before he left Hong Kong last time that the success rate of this plan might not be high. If he wanted to end the war in 51 years, the probability was too low.

But Liu Liyuan still holds a glimmer of hope, not because of the Liuliyuan theft, but because the war has become increasingly meaningless as it has developed to this point. As long as the current status quo of the peninsula can be maintained, it will be enough for the mainland.

Although many people in the mainland were somewhat excited by the victories in the previous wars, they felt that if they tried harder they would be able to directly help North Korea unify the peninsula and achieve a great victory for the red camp.

But in fact, judging from the situations in the 4th and 5th battles, this kind of voice is getting smaller and smaller.

“Not optimistic!”

Dunn shook his head helplessly.

"According to the intelligence I have received from insiders, the higher-ups, especially our military-industrial interest groups, do not want this war to end at all. They have a lot of money to lobby Congress to continue!

On the contrary, our efforts on the front line and those of Xiaobai will not be ignored by their military interests!"

"Does this mean that this damn war won't be ended this year?"

Liu Liyuan's face also turned ugly.

"Although it may not be over this year, we still have to continue to do what needs to be done and continue to implement this plan. Even if it cannot be ended this year, we will strive to end this war 53 years ago!"

Dunn showed a determined expression and patted Liu Liyuan on the shoulder to encourage him.

Liu Liyuan also nodded, but he didn't look very happy.

After a long while, Liu Liyuan raised his head and asked again.

"If we achieve a breakthrough in the sixth campaign we are preparing for, can we change the positions of some of your domestic politicians?"

Dunn simply shook his head. According to the original historical trajectory, the Sixth Battle was called off, and Dunn really didn't want to launch another Sixth Battle.

"I personally do not recommend that you launch a sixth campaign similar to the first five campaigns!"

Dunn had an impression of why the sixth battle was cancelled, so he went on to explain it to Liu Liyuan.

"It has been quite a while since you entered the battlefield on the peninsula. Compared to our previous unpreparedness, we are now fully prepared for the battlefield. We have now transformed from mobile warfare to positional warfare. We have also built enough front-line fortifications and trenches on the front line, and established a relatively complete strategic depth.

If you rashly launch a large-scale operation, the difficulty of breaking through will basically increase exponentially compared to the previous times, which will only cause a lot of useless casualties. I know that you have basically got rid of the constraints of the "Sunday Offensive", but this is far from enough!

You should turn war into something you are good at and fight in the way that makes you comfortable, rather than turning it into a war that we want you to fight!

I have already sent you the previous intelligence. You should be able to see that our preparations on the front line are quite sufficient. Don't fall into our trap!"

At the end, Dunn's words became more and more strange. After all, his current identity was to speak from the perspective of the United States, but when talking to the United States about "us", Dunn felt more or less uncomfortable.

"I was anxious!"

Liu Liyuan sighed.

"I only thought that if we didn't achieve certain results on the front line, the negotiations would not be successful, but I didn't consider the casualties of the soldiers!"

"You can report my opinions to the people behind you, but we two intelligence agents should not worry too much about the war. Your generals and commanders on the front line are much more professional than us. I believe they must have the ability to distinguish and know how to fight the next war!"

Dunn was not worried at all about the Volunteer Army's next strategy. As long as it could proceed according to the original historical line, it would not matter even if the war was dragged to 53 as in the original history. The worst that could happen was that Dunn's plan would fail. However, as long as the situation on the peninsula maintained the current situation, it would be considered a success for the mainland. The only regret was that the war could not be ended early.

But I really feel unwilling to accept it. If the negotiations in 51 were unsuccessful, the war would enter a stalemate stage, which is what Dunn called a time of meaningless consumption.

It is the same for the soldiers on the front lines of both sides. The war may be more meaningful to the North and the South. After all, it concerns both of them and who can unify the peninsula.

"I understand. I will convey your opinion to the people behind me!"

Liu Liyuan also regained his spirit. He had more or less come to terms with it. After all, war was not a joke. It was impossible for it to stop just like that according to their will.

However, Liu Liyuan will still be committed to preparing for a ceasefire in the future. As for the future results, Liu Liyuan is still optimistic. He feels that with the assistance of Dunn, a ceasefire in the peninsula should not be far away. Even if it fails in 51, I believe it can be negotiated in 52 or 53.

Liu Liyuan did not know the future history. Even without Dunn, the Peninsula War would have ended in 53.

In Liu Liyuan's mind, it is normal for a war to last for several years or even more than ten years.

It took China 14 years to defeat Japan before, and the United States is much stronger than Japan. The reason why Liu Liyuan wanted to end the war as soon as possible was that he subconsciously believed that if the war continued, it would probably last for nearly 10 years.

Especially on the front-line battlefield, when the tug-of-war stage comes, it becomes an extremely difficult thing for the soldiers on the front lines of both sides.

The mainland's foundation is relatively weak now. After all, it has only been established for a short time. If it competes with the United States in consumption, it will definitely not win. Fortunately, there is the support of the Red Empire behind it, otherwise even if the mainland can win the Peninsula War, it will definitely be a miserable victory.

"This is also the main purpose of my return to Hong Kong this time. I came to inform you personally of the current situation. Don't be discouraged. We still have a lot of opportunities. As long as your country's army can hold its ground on the front battlefield, I believe it won't take that long to end the war."

Dunn sighed.

“To be honest, even within the CIA, there is a lot of talk about this war, and even my boss, Lloyd, is hoping that the war will end soon so that he can return home!

It's a pity that there are always some scumbags who see war as an opportunity to make a fortune! "

"Your homeland has not suffered any serious attacks since the Civil War, so your understanding of war must be different from those of us who have survived the war, especially your top leaders. There is no country in the Americas that can threaten you!

So for you, the war is just a military operation far overseas. Your superiors certainly don’t care about the lives of the soldiers at the bottom!”

Liu Liyuan's words were very impolite, but Dunn didn't care. After all, deep down he still identified himself with China.

"That's right. Take those guys who are just sitting there doing nothing to work and take them to the front line. Let them fight you with real weapons. Then they will experience the cruelty of war!"

Dunn nodded in agreement, but he could only think about it.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things. How is Xiaobai doing now? I haven't heard from him for a long time. I can only get the information he sent me here!"

"I only know that Xiaobai is not far from us now, in Guangzhou, but I don't know anything else!"

Liu Liyuan shook his head.

Dunn also knew that he was asking too many questions. Even though Dunn was nominally Bai Jianming's superior within the CIA, he actually didn't know a lot of this top-secret information.

This time, the CIA sent Bai Jianming to the mainland, which was taken very seriously by both the CIA and the isolated island.

According to the information Dunn has received now, the agents from the isolated island in the mainland are basically fully supporting Bai Jianming.

But the more they try to support the distance, the closer their demise will be.

The reason why the net has not been closed yet is that the mainland wants to use Bai Jianming to lure out more spies who are lurking alone in the mainland.

After all, China's area is not small, and every region will have more or less some spies left over from the isolated islands. Dunn knew that in the next considerable period of time, Bai Jianming would travel to several major areas of the mainland to understand and figure out the isolated island spies in several major areas of the mainland before closing the net.
