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

Early the next morning, Dunn and Antonio got up and drove to Washington.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Washington, but without wasting too much time, we went straight to the airport and boarded a plane to South Korea.

By the time Dunn returned to South Korea, it was already evening.

After Dunn was taken back to Seoul by a special car, he immediately sent a secret signal to Liu Liyuan, which was what they had agreed on in advance.

Regardless of success or failure, you must let the other party know so that they can prepare for the next step.

The next morning, I was woken up by Dolly's phone call.

"What do you mean General Ridgway wants to see me?"

Dunn, who was still sleepy, immediately perked up after hearing what Dolly said on the other end of the phone.

"Don't you think it's a little late to see me now, Mr. General?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Dunn's tone, but Dolly on the other end of the phone didn't care.

"We all have our own reasons. I believe you have seen the methods of those arms dealers this time, right?

It is indeed unrealistic to cease fire at this time! You should come to the coalition headquarters first!"

It was obvious that Dolly didn't want to say anything more to Dunn on the phone, because she really didn't want to face Dunn's ridicule. The most important thing was that Dolly was too embarrassed to refute Dunn's ridicule.

After saying this, Dolly hung up the phone.

This made Dunn a little angry. He wanted to humiliate the old man a little more, but the other party didn't give him the chance at all. Of course, he hung up the phone helplessly, packed up a little, called his own car, and went to the headquarters of the United Nations in Seoul.

Soon after Dunn arrived at the UN headquarters, he was taken to Ridgway's office.

"Mr. General, what is the matter that brought you here?"

Although Dunn had somewhat lost interest in communicating with Li Qiwei at this time, he still had to give him the face he deserved.

And he couldn't go all out on Ridgway like he had taunted Dolly.

After all, he is the chief military officer in charge of South Korea. If I offend him just for the sake of talking, the previous predicament of the CIA South Korea branch under the rule of Marshal MacArthur will be repeated.

"It's like this. Later on, a negotiation team will discuss some matters with the mainland to see if the conditions for a ceasefire can be reached. You can send someone to participate!"

Li Qiwei said indifferently.

"Why, did Congress agree to the motion to cease fire with the mainland?"

Although he asked this question casually, Dunn didn't believe in his heart that the ceasefire motion would be passed.

"Not passed!"

Li Qiwei said somewhat helplessly.

"Instead, we have to compromise with the voices calling for a ceasefire at home. Although we will be holding consultations with the mainland in name only this time, there will not be much progress!"

This of course reminds me that the first negotiation between China and the United States took place this year, or probably this month.

However, the results of the first negotiation are indeed hard to describe.

"It's really interesting. If you don't want to stop the war, why do you have to do this?"

Dunn couldn't help but taunt.

Li Qiwei frowned, but didn't say much.

"It can be considered as buying some easing space for both of us. After all, the intensity of the war is so great that both sides can hardly hold on!"

Dunn nodded and stopped mocking!

Although Li Qiwei's temper is much better than that of Marshal MacArthur, he is the top military official in South Korea after all. It is okay to express different opinions occasionally, but you can't keep embarrassing the other party.

Then Li Qiwei explained some details, which made Dunn Dazhi understand.

It is basically impossible to stop the war at this time, but negotiations still need to be conducted. After all, the situation is beautiful now and there are many calls for a ceasefire in the country.

It was not just Dunn who had advocated a ceasefire within the Ministry of Defense, there were also many voices calling for a ceasefire in Congress.

Especially the Republicans, which made Dunn feel a little funny, because he knew that when the current President of the United States ends his term, the successor President will be a real World War II general.

He is also Li Qiwei's old boss.

I didn't expect that they would try to stop the war during this period. It seems that in order to bring down the Democrats first, they will go against the Democrats regardless of their stance.

Speaking of the future president, the first thing he did after taking over as president was to transfer Ridgway away and prevent him from being in charge of the war on the peninsula.

Because he could not accept that his old subordinates continued to lose battles in the peninsula, which would affect his reputation.

However, when the future commander-in-chief takes office, it will be extremely beneficial for his brother. After all, his brother was also a subordinate of the commander-in-chief before.

It seems that with a little bit of manipulation, at least my brother will have no problem becoming a governor before the end of the president's term.

It seems that I must greet my brother in advance and fully support his old boss in getting promoted.

But it actually makes no difference whether this greeting is made or not. Antonio will definitely give his full support to the future president. At least in this election, he will not stand on the wrong side.

Moreover, it is only the 51st year, and Truman will not complete his term until the 53rd year.

It is too early to remind Antonio now. Let's wait until the right time.

This time, the negotiations will roughly start in Kaesong.

That is North Korea's territory, so safety must be ensured.

Ridgway wanted Dunn to lead the team personally and ensure the security of the negotiation delegation. After all, among the CIA, Dunn had spent the longest time in Hong Kong and was proficient in Chinese and Korean.

In the CIA, almost all the agents who are proficient in Chinese are under Dunn's command.

And he hopes Dunn can give it a try to see if he can incite the other side's negotiators.

Dunn readily agreed to this, but said that he had to resolve some issues first before taking over the security work of the negotiation team.

Li Qiwei didn't say anything about this. After all, Dunn was in charge of all the work in the entire South Korea region. If he didn't arrange things clearly, he would certainly not go to Kaesong.

In addition, there was still some time before the negotiations, so Li Qiwei did not put too much obstruction on this matter.

After the next task, Dunn looked at the time and saw that there was less than half a month left.

So after leaving the United Nations headquarters, Dunn flew directly to Tokyo in the afternoon.

Although Lloyd is not in charge of things now and has basically handed over all the affairs of the Peninsula to himself, as his superior, Dunn must make him aware of what he should explain.

After hearing the details of the negotiation, Lloyd said with disdain.

“Pointless work!”

Lloyd was not in a good mood about not being able to end the war this time. After all, as long as the war was not over, he would have to continue staying in the Far East.

"Since we are asked to be responsible for security, we will fully cooperate! This is really strange, the military actually asked us to protect their safety!"

“In fact, they want to use some of our agents who know Chinese to find out the situation of the other side’s negotiation team!

And see if we can persuade a few negotiators there to defect during the negotiation period!"

Dunn did not hide too much from Lloyd about Ridgway's thoughts.

"You're just dreaming! How could the mainland send someone to negotiate with us at this time so easily be turned against us? You can take on this mission, but don't make any promises to him!"

Lloyd said with a frown.

"Of course I won't make any promises to him about this, because I don't have any confidence that I can win over the negotiating representatives from the mainland!"

Dunn said, shaking his head.

"Let alone the negotiators from the mainland, I have no confidence in the negotiators from North Korea. They will probably only be able to do superficial work!"

Lloyd actually didn't need to say this, but it was absolutely impossible to make any commitment to the counter-espionage work. Anyway, Ridgway was not his direct superior and could not give him direct orders. The only one who could directly demand results from him was the CIA.

After explaining some details, Dunn left Tokyo and went to the isolated island area to meet with Payne in the isolated island area and discuss some things. The reason why he came to the isolated island area was to instruct Dunn to do a superficial job.

After all, he didn't know how long he would have to accompany the delegation for negotiations this time, which was different from the previous situation where he only stayed in the United States for two days. Therefore, he had to pretend that he had explained everything well, so that when he went to Hong Kong to explain things to Liu Liyuan, it would not arouse too much suspicion.

Originally, Dunn didn't want to spend too much time in the isolated island area.

But Dunn is now the deputy director of the Far East Branch, and his status is much higher than before, so he also attracted requests for a meeting from the top leaders of the isolated island.

So now Dunn, the ally of the United States, had to give face to the top leaders of the isolated island and could only meet with them one by one.

Among them was even the prince of the isolated island brought by Feng Zhiyong.

Although Dunn didn't want to have too much communication with them, he still had to deal with the necessary human relations and things to do, so he could only stay on the isolated island for two more days.

The only thing that comforted Dunn was that the high-level officials of the isolated island did not come to see him for nothing, and they all brought some gifts in their hands. This benefited Dunn a lot in the two days on the isolated island.

In addition, these senior executives did not come to him to discuss national affairs or the current situation. These were just casual chats. The vast majority of the senior executives who had not fallen came to him to do business. After all, many of them had seen the grand occasion of the food factory opened by Feng father and son and Dunn.

Even if it is the prince of an isolated island, his purpose is the same.

Dunn also agreed to all of their requests. After all, compared to investing in Japan, Dunn would rather invest more money on the isolated island.

This made Dunn sigh, no wonder you were driven to the island by the mainland to play Boom Beach, with such high-level officials, it would be strange for the isolated island to win.
