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

Dunn was not too surprised that Cough made such a choice since the English version of the city newspaper began to be published.

Kurt showed great enthusiasm and basically did everything himself. Most of the time, Dunn felt that he had forgotten his job.

To be honest, the reason why the mainland's agents infiltrated the CIA's Hong Kong branch so successfully was directly related to Kurt's lack of control, so Dunn has always preferred to use Kurt.

Now Dunn even feels that it shouldn't be so easy to start an English-language metropolitan newspaper.

With Kurt in charge in Hong Kong, why worry about the mainland's intelligence system not being perfected?

The most important thing is that Kurt is a mainland agent in Hong Kong. If he is exposed, Kurt will be a perfect scapegoat.

"Do you really want to make this choice? You should know that media work has always been an auxiliary job within the CIA. If you choose this path, you basically won't have much of a future!"

Dunn wanted to persuade him, but Kurt just shook his head firmly.

"Sir, I know myself well. To be honest, I am not cut out for intelligence work. I am not even a qualified agent. I joined the CIA entirely because of my experience in media operations!

Instead of doing a job that I am not suitable for, it is better for me to stay in a working environment that suits me!

Besides, at my age, it is unrealistic to want to have a career in the CIA!"

Seeing that Kurt was so clear-headed, Dunn stopped trying to persuade him.

Intellectually speaking, Kurt's choice was quite wise, putting aside the pit that Dunn had dug for Kurt.

Kurt's ability is quite mediocre, and Dunn even thought about replacing him in the early stages.

However, because Kurt was generally easy to control, Dunn eventually gave up the idea.

But if Kurt is allowed to lead an intelligence agency as a whole, it would be a little difficult. On the Hong Kong side, since he still has to come back from time to time, Kurt can still suppress it temporarily. However, if the Hong Kong branch is completely handed over to Kurt, it would be a huge challenge for Kurt to lead the agents in Hong Kong with his ability.

Although Dunn has never paid much attention to the development in Hong Kong, otherwise he would not have handed over the entire Hong Kong branch to Bai Jianming and Liu Liyuan, allowing them to use the Hong Kong branch as a springboard for mainland agents.

However, the overt work still needs to be done well, at least to make it acceptable to the higher-ups. The entire Hong Kong branch cannot be messed up, as that would make Dunn appear incompetent.

“Since you have made your choice, you will be directly responsible for the work related to the English version of Metropolis Daily in the future. After this period of time, I will separate the English version of Metropolis Daily from Xiangjiang Metropolis Daily as soon as possible!

You should also be prepared to rent a suitable office location near our current office building. In addition, you must not be left behind in your main job. You still need to bring a few agents with you. You must be completely separate from the Hong Kong Metropolitan Newspaper. After all, we can't put all our eggs in one basket!"

This time, Dunn plans to bypass the existing Hong Kong branch and rebuild a new team, but the scale will not be too large, after all, there is already an obvious Hong Kong branch.

The main thing is that when Dunn is doing some things, he really has to avoid mainland agents. If he uses agents from the Hong Kong Metropolitan Daily, he will likely be noticed by mainland agents, and Dunn will have no secrets from the mainland.

Therefore, it is really necessary to set up a new team to deal with some things that Dunn does not want the mainland to know, such as inciting separatist elements on isolated islands.

It is better not to let the mainland get involved in this kind of thing. After all, this is a collaboration between Deng En and Feng Enshuo, father and son.

Feng Enshuo's father, Feng Zhiyong, has always been hostile to the mainland and cannot allow these two sides to be involved in the same thing.

"Okay, I understand sir! Don't worry, although I'm not very proficient in intelligence, I can still bring a few agents with me, but the number of people should not be too large!"

At the end of his speech, Kurt showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. After all, as a CIA agent, it would be a shame to tell others that he could not bring a few intelligence personnel with him.

"Don't worry, there won't be too many people! Most of the work will still be done by the people in the Xiangjiang headquarters, and letting you bring a few special supplies is just to be of some use in special circumstances!"

Dunn said, waving his hand.

"By the way, I haven't been in Hong Kong for a long time recently. My work focus will not be in Hong Kong in the future. I really need someone to take over. Who do you think is more suitable among the current people?"

After Dunn finished asking the question, Kurt also frowned tightly.

"Actually, I think Bai Jianming is the most suitable one!"

After a long moment, Kurt spoke.

"Although he is Chinese, he did a really good job in handling the relationship between Chinese employees and local employees, and everyone trusted him. It's a pity that he has been transferred now!"

"You also said that he has been transferred, so there is no need to think about it. He probably won't be back for a long time!"

Dunn said with a sigh.

If Bai Jianming were still alive, he would certainly choose Bai Jianming without hesitation.

"So are there any other suitable candidates?"

“Then there are only Team Leaders Joel Chris and Gary Locke!

They now lead our local team members and Chinese employees' team respectively, and they are the two most prestigious agents among all the agents!

Chris has always been an elite among local employees. Apart from Bai Jianming, Chris is undoubtedly the most suitable one!

Luo Jiawei was originally Bai Jianming's deputy. After Team Leader Bai Jianming was transferred, he became the most prestigious Chinese. Compared with Team Leader Bai Jianming, Luo Jiawei's ability is not inferior, but his prestige is still slightly lacking! "

Dunn nodded, and Locke knew that he was from the mainland.

"I might take Chris to South Korea in a few days. They are in great need of manpower there right now. In that case, it seems that Gary Locke is the only suitable candidate!"

Dunn smiled slightly and said that at this point, he had dug a big trap for Kurt. If the mainland agent in Hong Kong was not exposed, it would be fine. Once exposed, Kurt, as the recommender, would also be deeply implicated.

The reason for taking Chris away was reasonable, as South Korea was indeed short of people.

If the Chinese employees were to go to South Korea at this time, it would definitely cause a lot of inconvenience. It would be just right to bring Chris, a genuine and handsome Chinese.

If Locke's biggest competitor is taken away, then it would be much more reasonable for Locke to take the position.
