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

"There is a big problem with this ranking of the top 20 generals in World War II!"

Dunn said this while pointing to a general ranked among the top 20 generals of World War II.

"Why is Marshal Mai ranked eleventh? This ranking is really unreliable! With Marshal's command and combat capabilities, he should be ranked first!"

Kurt was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Dunn was talking about this problem. He thought that the newspaper had some shortcomings in some other aspects.

But then he began to face the question raised by Dunn, and immediately frowned and looked embarrassed!

“Sir, I know you once fought under Marshal Mai!

But to be honest, with the contribution of Marshal Mai, it is not unfair to be ranked eleventh! "

What this means is that you can flatter your old boss if you want to, but you can't do it against your conscience!

"I don't care! Coach Mai must be in the top 10 list and cannot be ranked too far behind.

The Japanese Type 56 can be higher than Marshal Mai's. This is so unfair!"

Seeing how unreasonable Dunn was, Kurt felt a little overwhelmed.

"It's not impossible for Marshal Mai to be ranked higher, but he definitely can't be ranked first. Otherwise, our list will not be convincing at all!"

What this means is that even if you want to smuggle something in, it can't be too outrageous.

Dunn coughed lightly. He felt that ranking Marshal Mai first did not seem to be convincing.

"Then which one of the top 10 do you think is better to put Ma Dashuai in?"

Dunn also patiently asked for Kurt's opinion.

"How about putting Marshal Mai at sixth or seventh?"

Kurt said tentatively that the first place proposed by Dunn before was a bit far behind the sixth and seventh, but Kurt also wanted to remind Dunn of this.

Don't be too outrageous, this position is already a high praise for McGrady.

Dunn was silent for a moment.

"Put Marshal Mai in fifth place! After all, Marshal Mai is in command of the Peninsula War now!

In any case, we must take this opportunity to promote Marshal Mai! We can’t let the soldiers at the front feel disappointed! "

What does this have to do with whether the soldiers at the front are discouraged or not? Who cares about this?

Kurt complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to kick it out loud, so he just nodded.

"Indeed, given the Marshal's ability, ranking fifth is not unacceptable!"

The implication is, fifth is fifth, even if it may cause some controversy, it is still acceptable, so don’t do anything weird!

"Well, then reshoot it and raise Marshal Mai's ranking to fifth place!"

Dunn actually wanted to raise Marshal MacArthur's status to third, but this was indeed not convincing, because after the war on the peninsula was over, I'm afraid Marshal MacArthur's status in people's hearts would drop one or two places.

If Marshal Mai is ranked third, then it would be acceptable to rank him fifth in the subsequent rankings, but if Marshal Mai is really ranked third, it would be outrageous if you think about it.

Therefore, we rank Marshal Mai fifth. In the future, when we evaluate him again after the war on the peninsula, his ranking may drop by one or two months to sixth or seventh, but in any case, it is enough that he can be ranked in the top 10.

It has to be said that Dunn is still selfish, as there is not a single general from the mainland on this list.

To put it bluntly, the mainland’s founding entrepreneurial group is not well-known, not to mention that it is now directly opposing the United States and the West.

It might be difficult to include one or two of them in this list.

Therefore, we can only adopt this roundabout strategy to improve the ranking of Marshal Mai.

In this way, when the war on the peninsula is over, everyone will find that an old man in China seems to be able to defeat one of the top ten generals of the United States in World War II on the battlefield of the peninsula.

And there are 10 other continents of the same level as this old man...

Calculating the time, the first battle should be about to begin. It would be a good opportunity to sell this newspaper before the first battle and wait until after this battle is over.

I'm afraid that Marshal Mai's status in everyone's heart is about to begin to collapse.

Kurt hurriedly printed out another sample issue. This time, Dunn did not find any other faults. After all, the English version of the Metropolitan News was based on some changes made to the Chinese version of the Hong Kong Metropolitan News.

Most of the so-called changes are to remove some local Hong Kong news content and add some major international news, such as the current situation of the peninsula war.

"That's it!"

Dunn did not offer any further suggestions for improvement, and directly approved that this metropolitan newspaper would be distributed simultaneously around the world in three days. By "global", it actually meant that it would only be distributed in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Other English-speaking regions need to follow up.

However, considering that this is the first publication of an English-language metropolitan newspaper, its sales volume is not expected to be that high given its relatively low profile.

Dunn didn't care so much.

However, to Dunn's surprise, the sales of the first English-language version of the metropolitan newspaper were not that bad.

After all, it is a unit under the CIA.

There is absolutely no shortage of news resources, especially now that the world's attention is focused on the peninsula.

Metropolis Daily is one of the CIA's mouthpiece newspapers. Although it has only just started selling, it is, after all, a wholly owned property of the CIA.

So with the authorization of the CIA, a lot of news from the Korean battlefield was reported, and many photos of the front line of the battlefield were also attached.

This also successfully attracted the attention of a large number of readers, so the sales of the first issue of the English version of the urban newspaper were also exceptionally good.

Relying on the huge markets in the UK and the United States, its sales easily surpassed the Chinese version of Hong Kong Metropolis Daily, which can only be sold in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

This was beyond Dunn's expectations, and made Kurt's mouth almost grin to the sky.

The ranking of the top 20 generals in World War II in the entertainment section also successfully aroused discussion among a large number of readers, which was beyond the knowledge of Dunn.

This list did indeed influence the ranking of the top ten generals of World War II in later generations. At least it seems that Marshal Mac has never fallen out of the top ten since then...

When it was early November, Bai Jianming and a group of other agents also returned. After meeting with them, Dunn asked them to go to work step by step. Bai Jianming was a little disappointed when he heard that he did not have to go to the front line of the Korean battlefield.

But Dunn did include it in the training list for both of them.

In the future, Bai Jieming will probably still lurk in the mainland as a double agent.

Leading the spies left on the mainland on the isolated island to their doom.

But that’s for the future.

On the afternoon when Bai Jianming and his team arrived, Feng Enshuo also hurried to Dunn's office.

Looking at Feng Enshuo's slightly anxious expression, Dun En knew what he wanted to say. Just when Feng Enshuo was about to speak, Dun En reached out to stop him.

"Mr. Feng! I think we can continue the dinner we had last time, right?"

Under the attention of the world, the first battle has come to an end.

No one expected that the UN forces would be defeated so thoroughly and miserably.

Taking advantage of this momentum, the sales of the English version of the metropolitan newspaper have been rising steadily due to its exclusive reports.

Feng Enshuo was also dumbfounded after receiving the news. He did not expect that the involvement of the mainland army would produce such immediate and obvious results.

It even made him feel that the US army seemed to be made of paper.

"I have already prepared the banquet in the hotel in advance. We can start right away when we get to the hotel!"

Feng Enshuo said with a wry smile.

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

Dunn went out with Feng Enshuo. Before leaving the newspaper office, he asked someone to tell Rui Yi that he would not be going home for dinner today.

"Mr. Du, are the troops on the front line really from the mainland? Are you sure the Red Empire's troops are not involved?"

After getting in the car, Feng Enshuo still asked with an incredulous look on his face.

"Mr. Ma!"

Dunn immediately showed an unhappy expression. Because there was a driver in the car, he addressed Feng Enshuo as Mr. Ma.

“Do you think our CIA and the soldiers on the front lines are blind?

If the front line was facing the German or Soviet army, ignoring the influence of military uniforms, our front-line soldiers and CIA agents might find it difficult to tell which army it was.

But we can definitely distinguish between the Chinese army and the Soviet army!"

In fact, Dunn also understood Feng Enshuo's thoughts at this moment.

A year ago, they were their life-and-death rivals.

Suddenly, it seemed as if it had evolved again. It had shaken himself off and started beating its father.

This is really hard to believe.

"That's not what I meant! I just felt...felt..."

Seeing Feng Enshuo hesitant to speak, Dunn smiled.

"You think our army is too weak, right?"

Feng Enshuo smiled awkwardly. That was what he felt, but he just didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Mr. Ma! Last time we met, I mentioned to you that our army is generally full of complacency!

To put it nicely, this emotion is called self-confidence, but to put it bluntly, it is arrogance.

It is very easy to go wrong with this kind of mentality!

To be honest, I am not surprised at all that today's war has turned out like this!

And because of this failure, it is likely to cause a series of chain reactions in the future!

I'm afraid that the gains we made earlier will be lost very quickly!"

At this point, Dunn made a frustrated and angry expression.

"We have already warned those arrogant soldiers, but they still made this mistake!"

"I don't think there will be a total defeat in the peninsula area!"

Feng Enshuo asked tentatively.

"That's definitely not going to happen, but according to the intelligence I got, we will most likely retreat to a position around the 12th parallel by the end of December at the latest!"

Dunn's face was solemn. He had to pretend to be heartbroken.
