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

Dunn also remembered at this time that William seemed to have gone to Saigon to carry out a mission before, and now he has only returned after nearly 20 days. It seems that this mission has just been completed. I just don’t know whether William’s mission was successful or failed.

"Is Mr. William coming?"

Dunn looked delighted.

"I talked a lot with him last time in Hong Kong, and some of his opinions inspired me. For example, my opinion of ending the war as soon as possible was rejected by him this time!"

"Oh! Have you told him what you thought before?"

Lloyd asked, smiling.

Dunn nodded directly.

"Yes, we have exchanged opinions on the current situation in East Asia before. I have always believed that it is best to end this war as soon as possible, but Mr. William directly disagrees with my opinion! And his statement is similar to the current actual situation!

This taught me a lot!”

"William's strategic vision has always been able to see farther than ours, and this is what I admire most about him!"

Lloyd sighed.

"Most people can only be tactical agents throughout their lives, but William is a strategic agent! You have a lot to learn from him. And you will definitely be very close in the future. You should ask him for advice more at that time!"

Dunn didn't expect Lloyd to think so highly of William, his former subordinate.

As for the difference between tactical agents and strategic agents, Dunn only understood the difference after watching the later spy drama "Kite".

In short, the former focuses more on task objectives, while the latter focuses more on execution strategies.

Now I feel like a tactical agent, and everything is based on completing the mission.

However, Dunn was not really interested in becoming a strategic agent. What he cared about most was gaining a certain amount of power in the CIA. This would give him certain privileges and create opportunities for him to make a lot of money in the future.

Once he has enough money, Dunn will most likely consider retiring and living a life of debauchery. In short, Dunn's biggest goal is to achieve financial freedom, and he doesn't really care about anything else.

But on the surface he just nodded and acted modestly.

In the evening, Dunn met William again in a high-end hotel in Tokyo, and of course Lloyd was with him.

"Haha! We meet again, Dunn!"

After seeing Dunn, William was also very happy and went up to give Dunn a bear hug.

It's a pity that William is a little short, probably only about 1 meters tall. When he hugged Dunn, who was over 7 meters tall, it was like hugging a big tree, which looked a bit funny.

"William, your mission in Saigon went smoothly, right?"

Dunn was actually very curious about William's mission and asked casually.

"It's going very smoothly! The Indochina Peninsula is not peaceful either! I estimate that after the war on the peninsula ends, the next area that may have serious conflicts will probably be the north and south of Vietnam!"

William said with deep emotion, but his words shocked Dunn.

Although the Vietnam War would not occur until the 60s, which is still more than 10 years away, it is still a remarkable achievement to be able to accurately predict it in this era.

What Dunn didn't know was that Vietnam's political situation had actually not been very stable. In fact, it was still in the Vietnam War against France.

This war ended even later than the Peninsular War, and lasted until 1959.

Dunn had some previous knowledge of the situation in Vietnam, but not much.

As for the Vietnam War that Dunn thought of, it did not break out until 61.

Speaking of which, this country is also miserable. It only ended its war of independence with the French in 60, and in the 15s it fought a Vietnam War with the United States that lasted for years.

It lasted from the early 60s to the mid-70s, and then the Sino-Vietnamese War began in the late 70s.

After that, the mainland basically used Vietnam’s army as a whetstone and continued the war until the late 80s. The entire country was basically crushed by the war.

This has something to do with the extremely poor strategic vision of their leaders. Apart from the independence war between them and France and the unification war with the United States, they actually chose to stand on the side of the Red Empire during the Sino-Soviet conflict.

Not to mention asking them to side with the mainland, even if they had remained neutral at the time, their fate would not have been so tragic. The difference in their strategic vision was second only to that of Mongolia.

As a country sandwiched between China and Russia, Mongolia can be pro-Russian or pro-Chinese, but it chose the third path of pro-Americanism, which basically determined the fate of Mongolia. Until the 3s, the country as a whole has not escaped poverty and is basically one of the most hopeless countries in the world.

Compared with Inner Mongolia, the entire country is like heaven and earth.

"I hope their future conflicts will have nothing to do with us!"

As they were talking, the three of them had already sat down at the dining table, and William was still expressing his opinions.

"If a conflict breaks out in this region in the future, it will probably be even more tragic than the war on the peninsula, because after all, the entire Vietnam region is much larger than the peninsula!"

When Dunn heard this, his eyelids twitched. This might not be what William wanted.

In the future, the United States was not only mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, but it lasted for more than ten years.

It even almost brought down the entire economy of the United States. In the end, the United States, unable to hold on any longer, had to end this 15-year war in disgrace.

"I hope so! I've discovered that around these redist countries, we'd better not get too out of the ordinary!"

Dunn shrugged and made a joke.

Being well versed in history, he would not reveal this history in advance.

Moreover, there will be basically no decent benefits for him in the future Vietnam War. Apart from allowing the food factory to continue to compete for military orders from the United States, it is impossible for Dunn to do the same thing in Vietnam as he did in South Korea.

Because North Vietnam finally succeeded in unifying Saigon, if Dunn dared to buy up land and existing assets in Saigon like he did in South Korea, then he would be crazy and would have to pay off all his money.

"The French probably can't hold on any longer! If conflicts continue to break out in Vietnam in the future, we will definitely intervene! Based on my understanding of the big bosses in the country, they will definitely go wherever there is a conflict. After all, where there is a conflict, they will have orders in their hands!"

At this time, Lloyd seemed to be the person who saw the situation most clearly. He shook his head helplessly and said.

"But these have nothing to do with us. Our main concern right now is the war on the peninsula!"

But in the end, Lloyd laughed at himself and did not continue the topic. Instead, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with Dunn and William, then drank the red wine in the glass.

"Dunn, what's going on? How are you going to resolve the issue between you and Rui? You can't just keep dragging it on, right?"

Lloyd looked at Dunn again with a smile on his face.

"Sir, there are a lot of things going on in South Korea right now. I want to wait until I'm done with this before getting married to Rui Yi! According to the current situation, if everything goes well, we can get married by the end of this year at the latest!"

Dunn did not hide too much from Lloyd. After all, as his current boss, he would definitely be notified when he and Ree got married in the future.

"It seems that you have already planned it, so I won't say much. Rui Yi is a good girl, you have to cherish her!"

Lloyd said as he patted Dunn on the shoulder.

"Sir, if I dare to do anything to let Ruiyi down, I'm afraid William will be the first one to fight me to death!"

Dunn smiled awkwardly and glanced at William next to him.

At least you have to behave honestly in front of your brother-in-law.

"It's not that serious! But being faithful in marriage is also a man's duty!"

William said seriously.

That's not what you told me before!

Dunn went to Shuidao in his mind, recalling the conversation between him and William when they were in San Francisco.

However, Dunn certainly couldn't say such things openly at this time, and it was even another matter whether he should take it seriously.

At the next dinner table, everyone talked about some things within the CIA as well as the war situation and opinions in the relevant peninsula war zone.

However, both Lloyd and William were pessimistic about the Peninsular War ending in 52. They thought that even if everything went well, as long as the U.S. Army could hold the current front, it would take until 53 to end the war, and that was the most conservative estimate. Unless the U.S. Army on the front line suffered several major setbacks in succession.

However, although Dunn has now submitted the mainland's fully prepared intelligence, due to the limitations of the rationality of the intelligence, even if Dunn has tried his best to exaggerate the results of the mainland's preparations, it is still not enough for the United States.

The war must continue, which makes Dunn feel a little bad, because if the fighting cannot be ended in 52 years, then Dunn will doubt what role he can play in this war!

If the war still had to wait until 53 to end as in the original history, Dunn felt that this would be a huge blow to him.

"There is one more thing. I got some inside information! It's about the next CIA director, Allen Dulles!"

Halfway through the dinner, William suddenly said something mysterious. His words aroused the interest of Dunn and Lloyd.
