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

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Dunn had a polite smile on his face. He shook hands with the other party and then quickly withdrew his hand, but his eyes did not reveal much emotion.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time and act according to circumstances.

Of course, Dunn didn't believe that he could find any evidence against him through this investigation.

Dunn has always believed that he is very rigorous in his work, and Wu Lin has also been very cooperative, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After the two men finished their brief greetings, Payne, who was standing nearby, finally seized the opportunity to interrupt and said, "I heard that Mr. Matthews has taken the initiative to apply for a transfer to Macau, China. I believe you must be proficient in Chinese, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, Matthews shook his head decisively to express his denial.

"I wanted to learn Chinese before, but it's too difficult!"

At this point, Matthews looked a little embarrassed.

It was somewhat strange that such an expression could appear on his face.

“But the Chinese don’t have the final say in Macau! I speak Portuguese well!”

The current Macau is indeed managed by the Portuguese, although the future Macau will officially return in 99.

But in fact, after the "January 66 Incident" broke out in Macau in .

Mainland China has in fact already controlled the entire Macau.

But it’s still 16 years away.

During this period, if you can speak Portuguese, you can get by in Macau.

"I heard that Mr. Batomani knows thirteen languages. I wonder if he can speak Portuguese?"

Matthews asked, looking at Dunn with a half-smile.

His expression made Dunn feel very unhappy. The other party should have seen his information. He could speak thirteen languages, but there were so many languages ​​in the world.

Portuguese is really his blind spot in knowledge.

There is no way. The country's presence is too weak, if it weren't for Macau and Ronaldo.

Dunn may not pay attention to this country.

"Haha! Mr. Matthews, I really don't speak Portuguese, but I speak Spanish pretty well!"

After seeing Dunn's answer, Matthews' eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and Dunn didn't know what he was proud of.

"Haha! That's such a pity! I wanted to have a good discussion with Mr. Bartomani about the application of Portuguese!"

Matthews shook his head as he spoke.

Dunn stared at Matthews, a man with fair skin and Anglo-Saxon features. He didn't look like an immigrant from southern Europe or a Latin-speaking country.

I just don't know how this person learned Portuguese.

"Haha! No problem, no problem. I have some talent in languages. If Mr. Matthews is willing, I can learn it right away! I believe it won't take long before I can master it!"

Dunn said proudly.

He had this confidence, which came from both the Dunn before he traveled through time and the original owner of this body.

They are all quite talented in languages.

Moreover, although Dunn did not understand Portuguese, he knew Spanish and Italian.

As they are all from the Latin language family, these three languages ​​are quite similar, and the differences between them are almost the same as the dialects found across China.

If you want to learn, you can definitely master it quickly.

Seeing Dunn's expression, Matthews' face obviously darkened.

"Then I'll wait and see! Mr. Batomani!"

In the end, this was the only thing that came out.

"Haha, you can just call me Dunn. No need to be so formal. After all, we are going to cooperate for a long time in the future!"

Seeing Matthews's appearance, Dunn felt more and more that the other party just wanted to show off in front of him.

"Yeah! You can just call me Fred!"

Matthews replied nonchalantly.

"Haha! Sure!"

Dunn said unceremoniously.

"Fred, do you speak any languages ​​besides Portuguese?"

Matthews looked at Dunn deeply, and finally shook his head helplessly.

There was no other way. He couldn't pretend to know something he didn't know, and he also knew that the person in front of him was very talented in languages, otherwise it would be impossible for him to learn more than 10 languages.

I know that among these languages ​​there are also Chinese, Korean and Japanese which are relatively difficult for Europeans and Americans to learn.

"Dun, I'm very good! According to our investigation, you only learned French, German, Spanish, Russian and other major languages ​​in China. How did you suddenly learn so many languages ​​after I went to the battlefield? Especially Chinese and Korean, languages ​​that you have no access to at all. How did you learn them?"

At this point, Matthew paused.

"And according to our investigation, your level of these languages ​​is really good."

"this one?"

Dunn could only give a few perfunctory answers to this question. After all, it was difficult to explain the origins of these languages. He could only say that he learned Japanese on the battlefield in Japan, and then learned Chinese and Korean through Japanese.

As for the languages ​​of several small Eastern European countries, there are many immigrants from them in the U.S. army, and we have learned some of them through communication with them.

Fortunately, Dunn had foreseen these things and had indeed done some preparatory work.

Fortunately, Matthews did not ask too many questions, and Dunn did not dare to continue the topic of language, so he could only talk about other things to pass the boring flight time.

When the three of them walked out of the airport together, Kurt had already driven over to pick them up.

However, when he saw Matthews, he was obviously stunned. Dunn also saw from his eyes that he should know Matthews.

"How did you come?"

Sure enough, after the three people approached, Kurt asked directly.

"Why can't I come?"

Matthews responded bluntly.

"Mr. Matthews is going to live in Macau permanently, and he will probably travel back and forth between Hong Kong and Macau in the future!"

Dunn explained from the side that he could see that the two of them must have had some conflicts before, otherwise they would not have been so rude in speaking to each other after meeting.

However, the airport was not the place for them to resolve the conflict, but they planned to ask Kurt about the specific situation in detail after returning.

"Take us back first!"

After hearing Dunn's instructions, Kurt sat silently in the driver's seat of the car, while Dunn asked Payne and Matthews to sit in the back seat of the car.

Payne actually felt a little regretful. He had made an appointment with Dunn to spend a day in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect Matthews to come along, which made him feel very unhappy.

However, the plane tickets were booked for tomorrow, so he had no choice but to follow Dunn back to his base in Hong Kong.

After Dunn returned to the newspaper, he arranged for Matthews and Payne to stay in a nearby hotel, and then took Kurt directly to his own office.

"Are you familiar with that Matthews?"

Dunn asked directly after entering the door.
