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

"Uh... sir..."

Dunn was just about to explain. After all, this kind of thing could be a big deal or a small one. If it was not handled properly, it might affect his relationship with Lloyd. At this time, Lloyd was Dunn's close friend and he could not afford to offend him.

Lloyd reached out and stopped Dunn.

"You should find yourself a successor, Dunn!"

When Dunn heard this, he felt a chill all over his body. Was he going to take away his rights?

He doesn't want to lose either the isolated island or Hong Kong now, and he also doesn't want to lose South Korea because of the issue of volunteer army prisoners of war.

"I have already applied to the higher-ups to promote you to deputy director of the CIA's Far East Bureau!"

"Um!?"

Dunn, who was anxious to explain something, was visibly stunned when he heard this.

Was I promoted? Or was it a demotion in name only?

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Dunn asked tentatively. He didn't dare to express his emotions before he understood the specific situation.

"I might as well tell you directly! Right now, I am the one who is most looking forward to the war ending soon, because after the war is over, I will return to the headquarters and no longer stay in this damn Far East!"

When talking about the Far East, Lloyd's expression clearly flashed with a hint of disgust.

"Young man, do your job well. When I return, you will definitely be the one to take my place!"

Having said that, Lloyd patted Dunn's shoulder heavily.

"According to the news from the headquarters, Mr. Dulles Jr. will soon be appointed as the director of the CIA! And the Dulles brothers have a good relationship with your brother, so as long as you can perform well in this war, my position will definitely belong to you after I leave!"

Dunn nodded solemnly. He finally understood what Lloyd meant. He was not worried about his achievements becoming too great for his master. Instead, he was doing him a favor and handing over some power to him in advance.

After all, Lloyd has confirmed that he will leave East Asia. In addition, Allen Dulles is about to take office as the director of the CIA. Lloyd must be aware that his brother has a good relationship with the Dulles brothers. This should be a gesture of goodwill to him in advance!

But if you really think about it, if he really has any bad intentions, it would only take a few minutes to remove Lloyd. After all, he has already controlled the three most important regions in the Far East and even has a say in the mainland.

But Dunn knew that it would be better for him not to do that, after all, Lloyd's background was not simple.

"Sir, thank you for your support!"

Dunn was not overly modest, and the United States did not have the Chinese culture of modesty. Moreover, the East Asian region was something it absolutely could not lose, even after the war on the peninsula.

The smuggling business with the mainland also requires one to be present for a long time.

But speaking of it, I feel that I really need to train a successor, as I won't be able to stay in East Asia for a long time in the future.

I must train a reliable person again so that when I leave East Asia, he can take over my job directly.

When thinking of the successor, the first person that came to Dunn's mind was Bai Jianming, but he quickly rejected it. Not to mention Bai Jianming's mission this time. Whether he could come back or not, even if Bai Jianming was of Chinese descent, he would not be able to get a high position in the CIA.

Dunn couldn't think of anyone who could take over his business for the time being.

We can only observe and cultivate it slowly in the future.

"From now on, you should carefully look for your successor. After all, if you really take over my position, even if you become the deputy director, you will not be able to do many things yourself. If you think carefully, the burden on you is indeed heavier now. It is really hard to travel between three places!"

Lloyd did not notice that Dunne's poetic spirit was still chattering and giving Dunne advice, but his words were heard by Dunne. It's quite strange, because the reason why I have so many burdens now is because of you, right?

To be honest, he didn't want to come to South Korea from the beginning, and was even avoiding coming to the peninsula, but in the end, he had to enter the peninsula under Lloyd's order.

However, after learning about the situation of the prisoners of war, Dunn was not so averse to working on the peninsula.

"I will. Actually, the people in charge of Hong Kong and the isolated island are relatively easy to deal with. As for South Korea, I'm afraid I will have to be mainly responsible for this work for a long time in the future!"

Dunn said helplessly.

"It's okay, take your time! Do things step by step. There's still plenty of time. In my opinion, this war will probably end within a year or two. But I'm afraid you'll have to work hard during this period. But you're young after all, so I think your body should be able to handle it, right?"

Lloyd said half-jokingly.

"Of course I can handle it?"

Dunn said this with a firm look on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.

Even if you get promoted, you still have to continue to work like a slave!

"It's all right as long as you can hold on! Next, I will send back the agents who were originally evacuated from South Korea, but I will give them special orders to make them all listen to you. If any of them disobeys, just tell me directly!"

Lloyd said with a serious face.

"Also, don't continue your investments in Seoul. From what I've heard, you've almost bought half of the land in the capital. If you keep going like this, even after the war, the South Korean government will probably turn against you! If you really want to invest again, go and buy other cities in South Korea. Don't just focus on Seoul. Although you may make more money in Seoul, it is the capital after all!

If a foreigner controls too many areas in the capital, people will definitely not recognize him. I'm afraid that after the war, they will find a way to take those lands from you as soon as possible. If the land price has not risen by then, you may not be able to make that much money. It's pretty good now, as you control less than half of the land in Seoul.

Given the character of South Korean officials, they probably wouldn’t dare to turn against us even after the war, let alone more!”

Listening to Lloyd's nagging, Dunn nodded repeatedly. He had not considered this before. If a foreigner took control of all the affairs and real estate of a country, no one would feel comfortable, even if these South Korean officials did not dare to offend him now.

It seems that our future investment direction can no longer always focus on Seoul.
