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

After coming out of Lloyd's office, Dunn felt a little melancholy.

It is easy to follow Lloyd to South Korea this time, but I am afraid that after the military meeting mentioned by Lloyd is over, the old man will just pat his butt and go back to Japan, leaving me in South Korea.

It’s a pity that there’s no point in thinking about these things now. We’ll have to wait until we get to South Korea to know the details.

It's just that I instinctively feel that this trip to South Korea won't be that easy.

To be honest, he was unwilling and didn't want to do it at all.

After arriving at the residence arranged for him by the CIA Tokyo branch, Dunn lay on the bed for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.

He came to Japan from Hong Kong by plane in the afternoon.

When I met Lloyd, it was around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Now back to the accommodation, although it is still early.

But Dunn only felt tired, as flying in this era was not very comfortable.

Although Dunn has taken many flights since he came to this era, he still can't adapt to it.

After taking a flight, Dunn felt a little exhausted and out of shape, so after arriving at his residence, he fell asleep quickly.

Dunn got up early the next morning.

After leaving his residence, Dunn came to the streets of Tokyo and prepared to take a stroll.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the military camp where I was before.

At this moment, the US military camp was visibly much quieter.

I'm afraid that many of the American troops originally stationed here have been sent to the front lines in South Korea.

Dunn did have a CIA ID in his pocket, so if he wanted to, it should be very easy for him to enter the military camp.

But he forgot that the people standing guard around the military camp were all strangers, and the familiar people didn't seem to be there, so Dunn didn't feel like going in.

Although he had fond memories of the long period of time he was stationed here, that is now a thing of the past.

When Dunn was about to leave, a surprised voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Batomani!"

It was a woman's voice. Dunn frowned and turned around to find that it was a Japanese woman who had served him before.

"Ms. Zhizi!"

We have very good memories and quickly recalled the woman's name.

"It's great to see an acquaintance here!"

Zhizi looked at Dunn's suit with a complicated expression.

"Has Mr. Bartomani successfully retired?"

Dunn nodded. He had not concealed the fact that he wanted to retire, and many people knew about it.

"Yes, I have retired and now work in some other government departments!"

When you meet an old friend at this time, you will still feel happy, although you are not sure whether the other person will be happy.

"Then you are so lucky. Your original company has been transferred to the front line of the war!"

Zhizi sighed and said.

"Really? No wonder I noticed there are fewer familiar faces here!"

After hearing this confirmed by Zhizi, Dunn felt a little regretful.

His former comrades-in-arms had all the same problems as American soldiers stationed abroad.

But after all, they were colleagues who had lived together for many years and they said that Dunn had many of the same problems at that time.

So when he heard that they had already gone to the front line, Dunn felt a little regretful. He could only hope that they would be beaten less severely by the volunteers!

Of course, this is limited to his former colleagues and soldiers he has led. As for other U.S. military forces, they are not within the scope of Dunn's prayers.

"Mr. Bartomani, is there anything you need in Tokyo this time? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhizi asked with shining eyes.

Dunn could roughly guess what this woman was thinking, considering he had been a soldier here before.

He was also quite generous.

What kind of help can this woman provide besides helping me relieve stress?

But Dunn was not in the mood for that now, so he just shook his head.

"In fact, I can't stay in Tokyo for long, but I'm grateful to Miss Eiko!"

Dunn had already confirmed his suspicions that his former acquaintances and the soldiers he had led had already gone to the front line, so he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Things have changed and people have changed, so there is no need for him to reminisce here.

"That's such a pity! In fact, I should be the one to be thanked. If it wasn't for Mr. Bartomani helping us out last time, I don't know what bad things would have happened!"

The rescue that Zhizi mentioned should be the last time when she and her brother ran over and killed a Japanese soldier.

Dunn didn't take this matter to heart. In fact, this is an old tradition of the U.S. military.

During this era, the U.S. military had incidents of speeding and killing people wherever they went, but where they were stationed, the government did not dare to intervene in these matters.

"It's just a little effort!"

Dunn waved.

"Maybe next time! I have other things to do! Miss Zhizi, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Dunn left.

Dunn often came to Japan, even to this military camp. He had been there several times after he was transferred to the CIA.

In fact, it has been less than a year since Dunn last came to this military camp.

But after coming here this time, Dunn really felt that things and people had changed. After all, after the war broke out, all the people he knew had left. He might recognize some of the remaining people, but there were indeed not many people he was familiar with.

I just don’t know how many of Dunn’s acquaintances will be able to come back after the war is over.

Zhizi looked at Dunn's leaving back and sighed helplessly.

Originally, seeing that Dunen was well-dressed, I thought he was doing well now, but it turns out that he doesn't even take care of the business of his old acquaintances.

Left disappointed.

After strolling around the streets for a while, Dunn suddenly understood why Zhizi was so enthusiastic to see him just now.

Because he found that the blocks near the military camp seemed to have visibly deteriorated a lot.

Soon Dunn figured out the key.

This neighborhood actually prospered thanks to the American military camp.

After the soldiers of the United States were stationed here, the surrounding shops, hotels, brothels, and some related gynecological clinics developed rapidly.

If the Tokyo area had not been highly developed before the war, a place similar to Pattaya in Thailand in later generations would probably have developed near the military camp of the United States.

With the start of the Peninsular War, large numbers of American soldiers have been transferred to the front lines of the Peninsula.

With fewer soldiers, business in this area began to decline.

I'm afraid the shop owners in this area are quite depressed and business is not going well.

Judging from Zhizi's appearance just now, it doesn't seem like she had just served American soldiers.

It seems that business has been really bad recently. No wonder I kept chatting with him for so long.

Although Japan's industry will develop during this war, it will have little to do with these shop owners.

As a foreigner, when Dunn walked on the street, many shop owners looked at him eagerly.

Unlike what Dunn remembered, the entire street was basically filled with vendors, and there were very few American soldiers out shopping.

Although this may have something to do with it being morning.

But in the past period of time, it would definitely not be as depressed as it is now.

A few bosses who seemed to know some English came forward and asked Dunn if he needed any service, but Dunn rejected them all.

Perhaps these Japanese bosses didn't know that Dunn knew Japanese. After Dunn rejected them, they chatted with each other in Japanese.

Lamenting that business is becoming increasingly difficult.

The American soldiers who usually frequented the place were no longer there.

This gave Dunn a different feeling.

It seems that businessmen from all over the world are the same, even when doing business with themselves, they want to defeat their enemies.

Dunn felt that there was nothing to see on the streets of Tokyo, so he quickly bought some food and returned to his residence.

I didn't go out for two days.

On the second night, I followed Lloyd onto a plane to South Korea.

As a result, the two people took a flight for several hours and received unexpected news just after landing.

Perhaps Marshal MacArthur saw that the situation was not right and placed the UN command center in Japan. Lloyd and Dunn, who had just arrived in South Korea, had to take a military plane back to Japan for a meeting.

Dunn was relieved when he got the news. As long as he was not allowed to stay in South Korea for a long time, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant taking a plane for a few more hours.

"This coward!"

Lloyd was not so polite and yelled directly at the soldier who was delivering the message.

"He is afraid of the Chinese! When have we ever had such a cowardly general?"

Looking at Lloyd's flushed face, Dunn knew that his boss must be really angry.

The messenger in front of him also blushed, but in the end he said nothing. It seemed that he was also full of objections to MacArthur's decision.

Or maybe he couldn't find any words to refute Lloyd.

After gritting his teeth, the messenger turned around and left.

No longer pay attention to the furious Lloyd.

"It's no use getting angry here, sir!"

Dunn had no choice but to step forward and persuade him.

"Since the Marshal asked us to go back to Tokyo for a meeting, let's go back first! I wonder if there has been any rift between you and Marshal Mai recently? Otherwise, there would be no need for him to torment us like this!"

After yelling, Lloyd's mood was obviously calmer. He turned his head to look at Dunn and frowned, as if he was recalling something carefully.

"Although I don't like that guy who loves to show off, there haven't been many direct conflicts!"
