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

"It's not about defeat, but about ending the war with dignity. In the current situation, it's not impossible for us to win the war, but the price we have to pay is too high and it's not worth it!"

Dunn corrected Victor.

"There is absolutely no need for us to pay such a huge price for a war that has nothing to do with us! Just like your gang! Would you go to war with all the gangs in the United States for a penny's worth?"

Victor simply shook his head.

"This is our current situation!"

Prokowski answered from the side.

"Except for those damned war stakeholders, there aren't many people willing to pay such a huge price for a strange country in the Far East. So it's best for us to cease fire now!"

"I roughly understand, but it always feels a bit regrettable if we just let it go like this!"

Victor was still a little unconvinced.

"It's nothing to regret. We can only say that we underestimated the mainland's will to resist and its fighting power. Although their equipment is much inferior to ours, their soldiers have always fought much more vigorously than us. After all, for them, this war is to defend their country, but for us, it is really dispensable!"

Dunn Dazhi also understood Victor's idea. After all, young people always want to determine the winner, but the reality is not like this. There is no need to determine the winner.

It is best for both parties to maintain dignity for each other.

"Let me tell you one more thing. Some time ago, the military prepared to blockade the mainland in order to weaken the mainland's strength. No smuggling routes can do business with the mainland anymore!

If that happens, our entire smuggling route will be ruined. I believe you have heard about this matter!"

Victor nodded.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that we did have this crisis at the time. When everyone was thinking about how to get through it, Clay told us that the policy had been relaxed a little. Civilian goods could be sent to the mainland again, but some industrial products would be more troublesome and would need to be transferred to Southeast Asia!"

"Yes, that's the reason. This war has definitely affected our interests. If the war continues, our business with the mainland will only be those cheap private goods. As for some of the mainland's resources, if we want to take them out, we will have to go to Southeast Asia.

At present, because of this extra detour, our costs have already increased a lot!"

Dunn pretended to be helpless and said.

"This damn war should really end quickly!"

Hearing that his interests had indeed been affected, Victor's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Currently, the smuggling business has been taken over by his father. He is basically only responsible for connecting with customers and ensuring the safety of the goods when they are handed over. He does not know the specific details.

Like the crisis on the smuggling route this time, he had only heard about it, but not the specific details. By the time he understood it clearly, the matter had been resolved. Now, after listening to Dunn's details, Victor finally understood why the smuggling business was almost ruined.

It turns out that everything was caused by this war. Once the issue of interests was involved, Victor immediately turned from a passionate warrior into a pacifist.

All I can say is that money is indeed attractive.

"By the way, how is O'Neal doing now? It's a little inconvenient for me to contact him now, so I won't go to see him this time. Please convey my apologies to him for me!"

Dunn is now very concerned about O'Neal's situation, because if O'Neal can get a higher position in the Furber system, it will definitely be more beneficial for their future cooperation.

“That guy is working at full capacity lately and wants to be transferred to the San Francisco area!

His position should indeed be promoted. We are currently using all the connections we can to send it to San Francisco. After all, if there is an agent from Forboro in San Francisco to follow us, our smuggling business should be easier!"

Victor knew this best. O'Neal and Plunkett did not have much contact, after all, the two belonged to opposing units.

Sometimes, even if Dunn and O'Neal have some contact, they must go through Victor and Zhang Dezhong as intermediaries.

This is different from the situation when Dunn just returned to the United States. At that time, Dunn was just a low-level CIA employee.

Now as his position becomes higher and higher, he is receiving more and more attention. In this situation, he must draw some lines with O'Neal. This will be good for both of them.

“Do your best to help O’Neill transfer to the San Francisco area. After all, our smuggling business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future. After this war is over, I will find a way to establish connections with Japan.

The conditions didn’t exist before, but they exist now, and after this war, Japan’s economy should continue to grow!

The little devils got off really cheaply!"

Dunn said somewhat helplessly that he could do nothing about the takeoff of Japan's economy.

Who would have thought that the United States wanted to do everything it could to bring down Japan, but unexpectedly, because of a war on the peninsula, the United States had to support Japan's economy again.

"This is what I am most dissatisfied with in this battle!"

Prokowski also said with some resentment.

He had fought the Japanese for many years in the Pacific battlefield, and he didn't expect to become an ally of the Japanese this time. Psychologically, he was more or less uncomfortable.

But there is nothing they can do no matter how uncomfortable they are. Policy issues are not something that CIA agents like them can have the final say on.

"We can't help it. The Japanese are in a good situation. They are damn lucky!"

Dunn was mentally prepared for this, and it was not unacceptable. After all, he had come from that era in the future, and he knew that the luckiest people in this war were the Japanese.

The three of them continued to discuss the recent situation in New York, and after having lunch together, Victor took Dunn back to Dunn's parents in Port Empire.

When I got home, I found that Antonio had disappeared, so I asked in surprise.

"Where's my brother?"

"I went out after breakfast just like you, and I haven't come back yet!"

Mario, who was reading a newspaper, replied indifferently. But judging from his expression, he was not very happy talking with Antonio before. It seemed that his brother was not very concerned about marriage.

Dunn didn't want to say much about this. Everyone has their own choice.

As long as his brother is not a member of the LGBT group, Dunn can accept it.

However, based on Dunn's understanding of his brother, he knew that his brother was not that kind of person.

Unlike later generations, in this era, that group was not actually accepted by the public. In some southern states, if someone was found to be a member of the LGBT group, their life would even be in danger.

Antonio didn't return home until dinner time. When he saw Dunn, he glared at him angrily.

It seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with Dunn's behavior in the morning. Dunn doesn't care about this. After all, he is the first to make trouble. It's not him, so he is right anyway.

During dinner, the atmosphere at the table was not so tense. Mario and Susan roughly understood that it was impossible to persuade their eldest son now, as his attitude had always been like that.

So we didn’t bring up the topic of marriage anymore.

"Are you going back tomorrow? Are you only staying home for one day?"

As dinner was coming to an end, Susan asked reluctantly.

"I can't help it. I have to fly back to the Far East tomorrow, and my brother has to take me to Washington to catch the plane!"

Although Dunn could also take civil aviation from the New York area to Hong Kong or Japan, civil aviation was not so convenient at that time, so Dunn still had to return to Washington to take a military plane.

Compared with civil aviation, military aircraft are indeed less comfortable, but the main thing is that they save time.

The most important thing is that Dunn doesn’t want to go to Hong Kong or Japan this time, because he has to change planes in the middle, and civil aviation basically does not fly directly to South Korea now.

But it was different for military aircraft. This was during the war, and a large number of military aircraft would fly from the United States to South Korea every day.

As a small country with poor material resources, and having been ravaged by the North Korean army, South Korea now has very few resources.

A huge amount of supplies needed for the war need support from the United States.

In order to save some costs, the United States has already started to restore Japan's economy.

Dunn also stole a lot of benefits from it. Although he was a little reluctant, Japan was to be supported, but he would not let go of the money he should make. Compared with the situation in South Korea, investing in Japan now would bring benefits faster.

This was also the reason why Dunn was anxious to stop the war this year.

As long as the war could be stopped this year, the United States' support for Japan's economy would not have started, and the Japanese would have to endure a few more years of hardship. Unfortunately, after the failure of this plan, Japan's economic takeoff was doomed.

I can only say that the Japanese are really lucky.

Although Dunn could make a huge profit from it, to be honest, he would rather not make that money.

"I don't know when you'll be back next time!"

Susan said with some regret.

The two brothers stopped talking about this. Under the current circumstances, it is unlikely that the two brothers will be at home. In the future, the two brothers will definitely be busy with their own careers and will definitely not have much time to go home.
