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

After two weeks of preparation, Dunn's newspaper was finally on track and could officially start publication at any time.

The official opening date was set on the 50th day of the first lunar month in the 3th year, which was March 16th in the Gregorian calendar. It was considered a good date. Dunn did not check the almanac for the specific date. For a handsome Chinese man like him, looking through the Chinese almanac, the picture would be a little weird.

The person introduced by Bai Jiancheng soon arrived, and after a brief interview, Dunn decided to appoint this senior editor named Liu Liyuan as the vice president of the newspaper.

This person had founded many newspapers in Shanghai during the Republic of China period and was considered to be very experienced. Later, when the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, he followed the Nationalist government and moved to the southwest region.

Then, with the principal's defeat, the whole family immigrated to Hong Kong.

After confirming that he was indeed capable of fully controlling a newspaper, Dunn confidently handed over all matters of the newspaper to him and became a hands-off manager.

"Do you really trust that Chinese man so much?"

Dunn's actions caused dissatisfaction among his accompanying assistant, Kurt Rush.

This person is a media expert that Dunn applied for from the CIA. Over the past few weeks, he has been training all personnel, including Dunn.

In his opinion, the newspaper should eventually be in his hands rather than handed over to a Chinese.

"Kurt, I know you are very professional, but don't forget our nature. This newspaper is just a cover for our identity! And the main purpose of establishing it is to collect intelligence from China, so from the beginning I decided to publish this newspaper in Chinese, and I didn't even plan to publish an English version.

So we have to hand it over to five Chinese people. As for how they can manage it, we don't need to care too much. As long as we can complete our mission in the end, we will be successful. Even if this newspaper keeps losing money, we have the CIA behind us to back it up. You don't need to care too much about this newspaper!"

Dunn said somewhat helplessly that Yelash had developed a strong interest in newspapers. Since he joined the CIA, he seemed to have been working in the media and spent most of his time in the United States.

However, as an advisor to the CIA, he could only make suggestions most of the time and never took any action himself.

It should be said that he still had some ambitions and was not content with the status quo, so when Dunn applied to send experts from China for training, he was the first to sign up. After arriving in Hong Kong, he also expressed to Dunn that he was sincerely determined to stay here and do something good.

“But I think I can…”

Kurt was still a little unconvinced, but his words were interrupted by Dunn.

"I know you can, but our goal is to integrate into the lives of the local Chinese. We are both American. Do you think that the two of us running this newspaper can help us integrate into local life? If we can't integrate, how can we obtain intelligence? At worst, I can give you the position of editor-in-chief, and the position of vice president will still be held by that Chinese Liu!

With his connections, our newspaper will soon be able to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang! This is a British place. If we don’t have one or two locals to act as agents, it will probably take a lot of time to achieve our goal, and time is precious, do you understand? Our main goal is to gather intelligence, not to run a newspaper! "

After hearing what Dunn said, Kurt could only nod helplessly.

But Dunn still seemed a little resistant when he saw him.

Dunn didn't care about that. If this kid could cooperate, everyone would be happy. If he refused to cooperate and wanted to interfere in the current newspaper affairs, Dunn didn't mind and would find a way to send him back to the beautiful country.

"Go back and prepare. Come with me to Taiwan tomorrow. You are my assistant now, and we will travel to both places in the future. Don't just focus on Hong Kong!"

Dunn brought out Lloyd's rhetoric that painted a rosy picture for himself and encouraged Kurt Rush.

I have to say that as long as the pie is drawn well, it can really save a lot of trouble. At least after seeing Dunn's pie drawing, Kurt's mood quickly returned to being cheerful.

"Sir, will we also set up a newspaper in Formosa?"

Kurt asked eagerly.

"Kurt, the reason why I want to start a newspaper in Hong Kong is because this is British territory. If we want to gain a foothold here, we must have a visible identity.

It’s different in Formosa. Although they also need an open identity, Formosa is under our control, so it’s much easier to get an open identity. It’s different from the situation in Hong Kong.”

Dunn was really helpless. He wanted to open Kurt's head to see what was inside. He was obviously an agent, but he was determined to work in the media. He was simply putting the cart before the horse.

"All right!"

When Kurt heard that he would not be able to run a newspaper in Taiwan, he was obviously disappointed again, but Dunn simply shook his head and ignored him.

Early the next morning, Dunn and Kurt flew to Taipei.

As soon as he left the airport, he saw Payne wearing a neat suit and a pair of big sunglasses, waiting for Dunn in front of a luxury car. Chen Changming, who was standing next to him, was basically dressed the same way, but without sunglasses.

"Life is pretty good!"

Dunn walked up and punched Payne before teasing.

He then got into the car and Chen Changming drove.

"You won't know until you go out, it turns out that life outside is much better!"

After getting in the car, Payne leaned comfortably on the soft sofa in the car and said comfortably.

He is the head of the United States' economic advisory group for China. This work was originally in the charge of the Central Youth Bureau. They need to monitor the flow of materials and funds provided by the United States to various countries and regions.

With this identity, Payne can really enjoy the feeling of being a father in Taiwan, and every day all kinds of sons come to compete to show filial piety to him.

It can be said that Payne has been feeling like he is living in heaven these past few weeks.

After learning about Payne's current life, Dunn suddenly felt a little regretful. It seemed that he should have chosen to come to Taiwan at that time!

Now he is Payne's classmate and comes to Treasure Island to reminisce with Payne.

"You refused to come out at that time, but now that you know the benefits of being outside, I'm a little jealous of you!"

Dunn felt his eyes turn red when he said this.

"Although life is easy, my every move is basically under their surveillance, which makes my work difficult!"

Payne said with a sigh.

Indeed, his current identity is indeed quite eye-catching, and his every move will be noticed by the top leaders of Taiwan.

"How is the staffing arrangement going?"

Dunn also put away his envy and jealousy and asked seriously.
