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

After sitting down at the table, Smith also introduced the two accompanying personnel who were also representatives of other military factories.

Smith did not mention why he invited Dunn, even though both parties knew the reason. But they talked more about the current situation.

Unexpectedly, Smith knew the current situation and the situation on the mainland in great detail, which made Dunn despise the interest groups of these military-industrial enterprises even more.

They knew clearly that continuing the war was meaningless and would only result in more casualties.

But for the sake of their own interests, they don't care about the lives of the soldiers on the front line at all.

The meal this time was also very simple, not like the banquets that Dunn had in East Asia. You know, when Feng Enshuo invited himself and Rui Yi to dinner, he also set out a whole table of delicious dishes.

This time, when we had dinner with these Seiko representatives, everyone just had a simple steak and some sweet wine.

There is nothing else.

When everyone finished eating, the previous topic was still discussing the current situation on the front line, as well as the current situation in South Korea and the US army.

Seeing that he couldn't get the topic to the point, Dunn became a little impatient, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be curious and asked.

"Mr. Smith? I am a little confused. You clearly know that if the war continues, it will not benefit us much. It will only benefit your arsenal. Why do you want to continue this war?"

Dunn's words were a bit impolite, but Dunn was not worried about offending the owner of the military factory in front of him, because Dunn also knew that the military factory was just a representative, and behind it were the larger military-industrial complexes.

Those people sent out a small thug to persuade him. If the negotiation failed, they might come out in person to talk to Dunn again, or they might not come out in person and use some other means to force Dunn to submit. But Dunn didn't know what means they would use, and he didn't plan to try them.

As long as Smith of the Daman Arms Factory can give enough benefits today, he will certainly not be greedy anymore.

I had already informed Liu Liyuan before coming here. The mainland was not very willing to let me continue on the anti-war path. Doing so would only cause resentment within the United States, which would not be very beneficial to my career.

For now, all I can do is be a person who knows the current situation.

“Hahaha! Is Mr. Bartomani planning to package himself as a spokesperson for the lower-class soldiers?”

Smith retorted without any hesitation.

"What kind of moral character is our army? I think Mr. Bartomani, who has served in the army for several years, should know it better than me!

Although our government has packaged us as messengers of justice, judging from the performance of our army, we are not just messengers of justice, it is not an exaggeration to call us devils!"

Dunn stopped talking. This is also one of his shortcomings. He is indeed acting as a spokesperson for the grassroots soldiers in order to gain some sympathy and achieve the goal of stopping the war, but in fact, the military discipline of the U.S. army has always been a problem.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Before Dunn traveled through time, he always watched TV dramas from the Republic of China era in which there were always examples of American soldiers driving recklessly on the streets and killing people.

Originally, Dunn thought that the American soldiers were only like this in China at that time, but after traveling to this era, Dunn realized.

Just driving recklessly on the road and killing people. In this matter, the U.S. military treats all the countries where they are stationed equally, whether in South Korea, Japan, or even on isolated islands. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Even when Dunn was solving the problem for two Japanese women, he hit and killed a person who was besieging them.

When Dunn first went to the US military camp in South Korea, the US soldiers knew that many South Korean civilians needed to rely on their leftover food to survive, but how did they do it? At that time, Dunn saw a group of US soldiers urinating in the swill bucket.

Let’s not talk about the quality and moral issues of South Koreans in the future, and just talk about the behavior of these American soldiers. Even if South Korea is essentially a vassal state of the United States, are they really right to disregard the lives of the lower-class civilians and even use peeing to humiliate the lower-class civilians?

To be honest, these soldiers do not deserve any sympathy. It would not be an exaggeration to let them all go to hell.

In fact, this problem is not just a problem for the U.S. military. Basically, the armies of countries all over the world have this problem. They don't take civilians seriously at all, even their own people.

The only army in mainland China can truly achieve the goal of close ties between the military and the people.

Smith saw that Dunn was silent and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that Mr. Bartomani is also very clear about what our country's soldiers have done in their respective garrisons!

In my opinion, these soldiers are not as miserable as you say. Even if they died in battle, we will receive compensation from the state. Soldiers are supposed to defend the country. Although they are not defending their own country, they should also ensure our interests on the peninsula and gain space to fight against the Red Empire! Are you right? Mr. Bartomani!"

"If Mr. Smith maintains the status quo and stops production directly, we have won space to fight against the Red Empire on the peninsula! I always think that this war has lost its meaning. Even if our army suddenly explodes and defeats the mainland army and the war burns back to the Yalu River, what's the use? Do you think the Red Empire will let us think like this at that time? For their prestige, will they let us destroy a redist country?

If the Red Empire is destroyed by then, things will be very difficult to deal with, right?"

Dunn retorted with a serious expression.

"Haha! Mr. Bartomani has a long-term vision. It is indeed best for us not to confront the Red Empire head-on for now.

But can't we just not destroy North Korea?"

When Smith said this, even Antonio looked at him in surprise.

"Mr. Batomani, don't look at me like that! You are all smart people, you should know what I am talking about. In fact, it is good for the war on the peninsula to maintain the status quo. We all think there is no need to end this war so quickly. After all, the benefits that the war brings to us are unlimited!

As far as I know, Mr. Batomani, you also have a food factory on the isolated island that is providing logistical supplies to our army, right?"

Antonio and Dunn remained silent. They did have interests in this war.

Although this factory was not nominally run by two people and was basically entirely under Feng Enshuo's name, in fact, any discerning person could see who could decide the fate of this factory and who was the actual owner of the factory.

"That's right, gentlemen! The United Nations Army includes not only our country's troops, but also some troops from other countries. You should be aware of this!

After tasting the self-heating food customized by your company, these countries also felt that it was very delicious. They will also place additional orders with your factory. In the future, your factory's orders will be at least 2 to 3 times the current number of orders, or even more. Some of our allies in Europe and other continents want to customize some of the food produced by your factory!

I wonder if you two gentlemen are interested in this business?"

Looking at Smith with a smile on his face, Antonio and Dunn knew that these were orders increased by the other party because of the benefits they received, and the two brothers would definitely be the ones to make the profit in the end.

"Hahaha! That's great, Mr. Smith. I also think the war must go on. After all, we can't let those bumpkins from the mainland continue to trample on our dignity. We must make them pay a sufficient price before we can talk about a ceasefire!"

Logically, it would be difficult for his brother to speak up at this time, after all, he has always been strongly against the war.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to speak up at this time. Think about it, the factory's orders will increase by at least 2~3 times, which means that the current profits will also increase by 2~3 times. This is a considerable income!

Although the orders from the United States during the Peninsula War are already astronomical, for the food factory that has already expanded its production capacity, the orders from the United States are not a big burden on them. If the orders can be increased by two or three times, the production capacity is estimated to be more than enough to cope with it. If the orders can be increased to five times, the factory's production capacity may be a bit strained. But it doesn't matter, they can continue to expand the food factory.

Antonio doesn't dare to think about getting 5 times the orders now, but if it's 2~3 times, he won't even have to expand the factory and he will never let the profit slip away.

After hearing Antonio's answer, Smith was quite satisfied, but he still looked at Dunn.

Dunn has always been the biggest force opposing the continuation of the war. As long as Dunn is taken down, no one else in the Ministry of Defense will ever mention a ceasefire again. This has already been arranged by the military-industrial complex.

Dunn was a little surprised by the other party's move. This was indeed a good return. Although Dunn knew that he could get a bigger profit from the other party if he continued to bargain, Dunn now felt that there was no need for that and he could just take advantage of the situation.

Dunn was still a thin-skinned person. He felt that if he lowered his face to bargain with Smith, the image he had established before would be shattered.

In this regard, Dunn could only remain silent.

Seeing that Dunn remained silent, which basically meant he agreed, Smith finally felt relieved.
