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

"You must be Mr. Styas!"

A tall, handsome American officer stood at the entrance of the barracks to greet Dunn.

Today, Dunn came to the U.S. military camp in South Korea to select a few accompanying service soldiers.

It is not a diplomatic group and does not have any accompanying soldiers, but these positions have been replaced by CIA personnel. After all, Dunn is going to the north to negotiate and has his own mission. Since he has a mission, he must have reliable subordinates.

But after these people were replaced by the CIA, the embarrassing thing was that the security force of the diplomatic mission was slightly insufficient, so they could only select some soldiers with strong military qualities from the local military camps to supplement it.

To be honest, Dunn really couldn't agree with the quality of the American officers and soldiers.

If the war had just ended, the United States would have had some elite troops stationed abroad, but now these troops have basically been trained into a group of spoiled brats. This is also the reason why when the war on the Korean Peninsula begins in the future, the South Korean garrison and the South Korean army will be beaten by the North and be at a loss.

However, when choosing to accompany the diplomatic mission, Beijing does not need to have too many requirements for its security forces, as long as they look decent. After all, the real security force cannot rely on these few accompanying soldiers.

"Sergeant David, right? Sorry to have kept you waiting. Something delayed me, so I'm a little late!"

Dunn looked apologetic. When he set out, he had not expected that the road conditions in South Korea, even in its capital, would be so bad.

The whole of Seoul is now like a large rural area. Not only are there no tall buildings, there are not even many decent roads.

The U.S. military camp in South Korea is located in a slightly remote area, and the road conditions are even worse. It can be said that the road conditions near the camp are well maintained, but after leaving the camp for a distance, there will be long sections of dirt roads, especially after a few rains in the past few days, making the road surface muddy, which also had a certain impact on Dunn's travel.

"Haha! I understand. You must have not been to this damn place very often. To be honest, the roads around the military camp were built after we arrived. We have no obligation to build roads in other places!"

The sergeant named David also guessed Dunn's predicament and said nonchalantly.

"Thank you for your understanding, damn weather!"

Dunn complained rather helplessly.

"I was actually not used to it when I first arrived. I didn't expect such a shabby place to be the capital of South Korea!"

David couldn't help but complain along with Dunn.

"It can't be helped. This is a relatively backward country, and it has been occupied by the Japanese for such a long time. The Japanese only wanted to colonize, and they didn't put any effort into building this place!"

Dunn was relatively familiar with this period of history. Japan attached more importance to the Northeast at that time. After all, compared with the Northeast with its superior geographical conditions, Korea was really nothing.

Although Korea was occupied by Japan relatively early, there was nothing rich in this area. Japan basically treated it as a colony. Even during World War II, Korean soldiers were able to fight as part of the Japanese Imperial Army, but they were actually just lower-class people in the army.

Many bad habits in the Japanese army continued in the South Korean army and had not been eliminated until the time when Dunn traveled through time.

In this regard, his neighbors to the north do much better than South Korea. Apart from other things, in terms of logistics, although the north is poor, the food treatment for the army is much better than that in the south.

As we all know, South Korea's military is notoriously poorly treated, but North Korea, which is mocked by them as a poor and backward country on the border, at least the treatment of its military has not been reduced in the slightest, no matter how poor it is. After all, it is a military-first policy.

It is said that soldiers from the north once maliciously threw their leftover chicken bones to the south to show their superiority in food.

That was when North Korea was still under blockade and sanctions and had difficulty in food supply, while South Korea had already been listed among the developed countries.

There was such a generation gap back then, let alone this era.

"Who says it isn't? It's just a colony after all!"

David said with a shrug.

"Mr. Soldier, go check on the soldiers first!"

Dunn did not forget that the main purpose of coming here was to select people. No matter what, he had to get the main job done first before talking about other things.

David nodded and took Dunn to the training ground of the military camp. The agent had assembled a pair of soldiers that David had carefully selected. Apart from anything else, the soldiers looked quite presentable at first glance, with none of them less than 1 meters tall. Compared to the average height of East Asians of that era, this team of soldiers was really tough. Dunn carefully observed their training again, and finally selected a group of nearly 8 people with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, the quality of these soldiers is quite high. It seems that they were selected by David from the entire army. After all, although the current American soldiers stationed abroad are basically young soldiers, there are also some who have not stopped training.

After selecting the soldiers, Dunn had a meal in the barracks. He had not planned to do this. In Dunn's original plan, he would take the soldiers back to the base directly after selecting them. But the problem was that he wasted a lot of time on the road. By the time he arrived at the barracks, Dunn was already late.

It took some time and effort to select the soldiers. After all the work was done, it was time for dinner. After thinking about it, Dunn really decided to stay. After all, he hadn't had lunch in the army for a long time.

The American soldiers stationed abroad in this era were called "young master soldiers" for a reason. Apart from anything else, the food they ate was definitely better than the middle class in most countries today.

There was meat at almost every meal, and sometimes we could even get some wine.

This time Dunn stayed for dinner, and David took out the red wine he had collected for a long time and treated Dunn.

Dunn has rarely drunk liquor since he traveled through time. He usually just drinks some red wine and beer.

But of course he has always had the habit of drinking red wine. After all, he worked as a translator for a long time and dealt with foreigners, so drinking red wine was inevitable.

The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. After the meal, David suggested taking Dunn to visit the military camp.

Thinking that he had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, he agreed. He was also quite interested in the US troops stationed in South Korea and wanted to see how they were different from the US troops stationed in Japan.

However, as soon as David and Dunn walked out of the restaurant, they saw three or four soldiers peeing around a few泔水桶, which made David frown unhappily. He left Dunn and walked up quickly, questioning loudly.

"David, Anderson, Reid, what are you doing?"
