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

"I'll give it to you on time every month in the future, but the amount may not be as much as this time. O'Neill also has some! If the business really grows in the future, this amount of money can be increased!"

Victor said with a smug look on his face.

"My brother praised me for once, saying that I finally did something good. With this smuggling channel, even if your business fails, we can still make a lot of profit from this route!"

"Don't worry! Believe me, the farther the freight is transported, the higher the profit. In the future, this smuggling route will continue to bring profits to your family. I promise!"

The family Dunn was talking about was not Victor's family, but the Costilla family, the mafia gang that Victor belonged to. The names of mafia gangs are quite particular and they are generally not named after a certain gang.

Most of the time they use a certain family, but in the final analysis, it is just a mafia gang.

"And go back and do as I say. Tell the family behind you that the condition for O'Neill and I to protect this route is that you must control this smuggling route, or your father can do the same!"

Dunn had to ensure that this smuggling route would be used for his own benefit, so he had to release a trustworthy person.

"Don't worry, you can't run away!"

Victor said confidently.

"O'Neill has basically done everything that needs to be done. No one can take this route away from me!"

The Costilla family does not only have this smuggling route that they just seized, but they actually control several other smuggling routes, but most of them are land routes. As for sea routes, this is the first time they have obtained them.

Next, he discussed with Victor in detail some precautions, and then Dunn sent Victor away. However, before leaving, he asked Victor to get a wireless telegraph machine to facilitate future communication.

It's not that Dunn couldn't apply for a radio from the CIA now, but if he went through the official reporting process, he would have to specify where the radio would be used for, and it would be difficult for him to write a report to hand it over to a gangster, so he could only let Victor and the others prepare one at their own expense.

There was no other way. There was no such thing as long-distance telephone calls at that time. When Dunn went to Asia, he could only contact Victor on the other side of the ocean through telegram.

In the next few days, Dunn did not stay in New York, but visited several branches on the East Coast to gather enough personnel to bring to Asia. He not only recruited a large number of Chinese employees, but also Japanese and Korean employees.

However, these numbers are relatively small because the CIA has already deployed a large number of personnel in South Korea and Japan in Asia.

There is no need to bring too many people with them, but the situation in China is different. Most of their intelligence personnel who were previously on the mainland have basically not escaped and were trapped to death in the mainland.

Both the Xiangjiang area and the Baodao area need to face the problem of reconstruction, so more Chinese employees were brought there this time.

A week after Lloyd left, Lloyd, who had already established a foothold in Japan, kept sending telegrams, urging Dunn to leave quickly.

Dunn also knew that there was no time to waste, so after packing his luggage, saying goodbye to a few friends and his parents, he boarded a ship bound for East Asia.

The reason why they did not choose an airplane was because the passenger capacity of airplanes at that time had not yet increased. Dunn was accompanied by many Asian employees he had recruited, as well as other agents that Lloyd wanted to take to East Asia.

The ship sailed across the Pacific Ocean for more than two days and arrived in Tokyo, Japan.

After setting foot on Tokyo soil again, Dunn had a strange sense of familiarity. After all, he had been stationed here for nearly four years.

These were the four most indulgent years for Dunn, so he was relatively familiar with this land, but it was unfamiliar because the areas Dunn had been to were only near the military camps, and he had never been to areas that were too far away. He had only been to Sasebo Port once before going to the Red Empire.

"You're finally here!"

What surprised Dunn was that Lloyd actually came to greet him in person.

However, he did not intend to welcome everyone so he arranged the Asian employees and most of the agents on the ship to stay in a hotel near the port. After they had a rest, he took Dunn and several of his newly rich agents to the CIA branch in Tokyo.

Of course, on the surface, their identities are not CIA agents stationed overseas. Even a country like Japan, which is its own country, has to keep a clean face and cannot admit that they are spies and agents.

Some things can only be done in secret and cannot be done openly.

Lloyd held a brief meeting with everyone.

"Your main work areas will be in Formosa and Hong Kong. You don't have to worry too much about Japan and South Korea. The systems there are relatively sound."

Having said that, Lloyd's eyes were already looking at Dunn.

"I won't give you a fixed position for the time being. Your official identity is my secretary. You have to travel to both Xiangjiang River and Baodao Island. You are the only one here who is fluent in Chinese!"

At this point, Lloyd felt a little helpless. He also wanted to have more people who were proficient in Chinese, but apart from the local Chinese in the United States, there were very few such people among the native Americans.

People who can speak some Chinese basically work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or their current position is not high enough for the CIA to recruit them.

Otherwise, Dunn, a Latino who had just joined the CIA and had not been there for long, would not have been entrusted with such an important task by Lloyd.

"I will not live up to your expectations!"

Dunn looked determined and nodded.

He really doesn't want to be fixed in one place. Whether it is Hong Kong or Taiwan, he can establish a complete chain of interests.

Therefore, Dunn was more than happy to accept Lloyd's arrangement.

After arranging tasks for the other two agents, Lloyd sent them away and left Dunn alone.

"What I just said is relatively simple. Your temporary task is to first establish branches in Hong Kong and Formosa. Then you need to spend more time in Korea and Japan. After all, there are not many language geniuses like you. As long as you do well, I will promote you to the position of deputy director of East Asia, second only to me, in two years at most!"

It was still the familiar recipe, and the familiar taste. After hearing the promise Lloyd had made, Dunn had no choice but to pretend to be grateful and express his loyalty again.

At the same time, he also flattered Lloyd a few times. Now he finally understood his position clearly. At the beginning, Lloyd positioned himself as an assistant who was equivalent to a free man.

In the early stage, he was mainly responsible for Formosa and Hong Kong, but in the later stage, he had to travel to these four regions of major East Asian countries, but this was also what Dunn was happy about.

Don't worry about South Korea for now. If Japan can also suggest setting up a smuggling channel, Japan's economy will take off first after the Korean War. If he gets on this fast ship, his wealth will probably increase several times.

More than an hour had passed since he finished listening to Lloyd's empty promises and admonitions. Dunn finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of Lloyd's office. Looking at the sun that had risen directly overhead, Dunn felt extremely comfortable. It was time to do something big.
