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

Time quickly came to February 1950.

Ever since he traveled across time to the body of a beautiful Chinese, Dunn had no idea about the Chinese New Year.

The United States does not celebrate the Chinese New Year at all, and the influence of Chinese people at that time was not as great as it is in later generations.

Although they were stationed in Japan for many years, the entire country had been destroyed during World War II.

Even during the Chinese New Year, the Japanese did not fight much, and the festive atmosphere did not affect the American military camp.

But the situation is different now. This day, I just sat down at my desk and was preparing for a day of work.

But as soon as he sat down, he found that the atmosphere in the office was not right. Several Chinese translators should have put on headphones and listened to recordings to translate documents.

However, all the Chinese translators did not start working. Instead, they focused their attention on a man named Chen Changming.

Chen Changming, who is about 30 years old, is the leader among these Chinese employees, although the entire translation team is already in charge of Dunn, a CIA agent who is fluent in Chinese.

But the Chinese of this era naturally have a sense of inferiority towards foreigners. There is no way. Without a strong motherland behind them, they cannot stand up straight. Even in later generations, when China has changed with each passing day, there is still a group of people who cannot stand up straight.

Most of the Chinese employees dared not talk to Dunn, even though Dunn's Chinese was very high, better than many of them.

So Dunn chose Chen Changming to be responsible for some work issues among the Chinese.

"what happened?"

Dunn looked at everyone with a smile. Normally, he was not arrogant when he was working, although most of the Chinese employees were afraid of him.

Finally, Chen Changming stood up and walked to Dunn's desk.

"Mr. Batomani! It's like this. In five days it will be our Chinese New Year. We would like to ask for two days off. Everyone should ask for it. But don't worry, we will make up for the work we missed during the holiday after we return!"

Dunn nodded in sudden realization, feeling quite moved.

Has the 50th Spring Festival arrived before we knew it? The world has officially entered the 50s.

"I know about your Chinese New Year. It is an important festival for you Chinese! But are two days enough?"

"what?"

Dunn's words left Chen Changming unable to react for a moment.

"Sir, two days is enough! We only need to take two days off on the 30th and the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Dunn also reacted. He was using the standard holidays of later generations to measure this era. In the United States, the Spring Festival was not a legal holiday at all, and they applied for leave collectively. Even Dunn had no right to approve it for them. They could only apply to higher authorities for leave.

But at this moment, Dunn's bad taste suddenly came out.

"If you all want to take two days off, I don't have the right to do so. However, if you are willing to work both days of the weekend, I can approve your shift work. I just checked that the 30th and the first day of the new year fall on Thursday and Friday this year. If you want to give up Saturday and Sunday and take the weekend off, I think I can approve it now!"

Dunn really remembered the fear of being dominated by the long vacation before the time travel.

Although having a long vacation is a very pleasant thing, the adjustment of holidays to continuous work is also very exciting for Dunn. Most people have mixed opinions on this adjustment system, but the vast majority of people do not like this fake holiday.

"Sure, we can make up for the two days off on Saturday and Sunday!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Changming nodded directly and agreed.

This made Dunn feel bored. They must have already discussed that if they couldn't get a holiday, they would use the method of adjusting the day off to celebrate the Spring Festival. So Dunn's joke didn't have the effect he wanted.

"Okay, okay, you guys go back to work. I'll apply for some vacation for you. If I can't get you a collective vacation, let's do it this way. I'll try to get you two days off, plus the weekend, so you can have four days off, paid vacation!"

Dunn waved his hand and stood up, ready to apply to Lloyd.

"Thank you very much, sir!"

A smile immediately appeared on Chen Changming's face.

As for paid vacation, that is something they dare not even think about.

After hearing the news, other Chinese employees also stood up and wanted to express their gratitude, but Dunn waved them away.

"Don't say thank you yet. I'm not sure if I can help you get the application. I'll try my best to apply for you according to the paid vacation. Now, gentlemen, please get to work first!"

All the Chinese employees also sat down and watched Dunn leave the office.

Dunn walked straight to Lloyd's office, knocked on the door and entered, then reported the situation to Lloyd.

"Chinese New Year? What kind of festival is this?"

Lloyd seldom went to the translation team's office and had almost no communication with the Chinese employees. In essence, Lloyd was a racist, but not so extreme. He did not discriminate against Dunn, a Latino, but when it came to blacks and Asians, one could clearly feel the impatience on Lloyd's face when standing close to them. However, he was slightly more friendly to blacks and Asians who believed in Christianity.

"It's probably the equivalent of our Christmas. Chinese people don't celebrate Christmas, but they do celebrate the Spring Festival..."

Dunn explained patiently.

"Oh my God! These strange pagans!"

Lloyd obviously didn't have the patience to listen to Dunn's explanation, so he interrupted Dunn and asked.

"How's the workload lately? If they take leave en masse like this, it will delay a lot of work!"

"It won't delay work too much! Mr. Lloyd, you should be aware of the current situation. It has been more than a quarter since the Chinese on the mainland announced the founding of the country. The initial enthusiasm has passed, and now these Chinese scientists and scholars have calmed down!

Now we rarely hear them mention the mainland in our monitoring records, and a considerable part of these call records are still communicating with our compatriots in English. In my opinion, those who have left are basically all the Chinese who want to return to the mainland, and those who are left now basically can't go back! "

Dunn shrugged helplessly. This is the current situation of the special working group. If there is no breakthrough, the special investigation team targeting Chinese scholars and scientists will probably be disbanded soon.

This is no longer a secret within the special investigation team.

"And I think giving these Chinese employees some time off can also boost their morale!"
