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

Within the CIA, it was basically a foregone conclusion that Dulles would become the next CIA director.

I just don’t know what kind of explosive news William can reveal at this time. You know, it has been more than 20 days since the last time William was in the United States.

In the past 20 days, William has basically stayed in Saigon, where the news is relatively closed. What kind of intelligence can he get? It must be more than 20 days. The information has been confirmed before yesterday.

The key point is that it has been more than 20 days since the incident. Someone like Lloyd, who has connections and a relatively low position within the CIA, should have received some information. However, looking at Lloyd's confused expression, it can be seen that Lloyd does not seem to be very clear about the news from William.

"William, what's going on?"

As the one with the lowest position among the three, Dunn could only act as a vanguard and was the first to ask. In fact, he was not curious about the domestic news at all. What he was most worried about was that the war on the peninsula could not be ended early in 52. When they were talking just now, the three of them analyzed it over and over again, and basically came to the conclusion that it would take at least until 53 to end the war. This actually made Dunn feel not very good, but he could not show it in front of two people who were higher in position than him.

"When Mr. Dulles takes office, the first thing he might do is move the headquarters out of Washington?"

“Moving away from Washington?”

Lloyd was stunned by the news, and Dunn also showed surprise, but in fact he suddenly remembered that the CIA headquarters in the previous life was not in Washington, but in Virginia, a suburb of Washington.

When he reported to the headquarters in Washington, he had not thought about this. In his previous life, he had studied several major intelligence agencies in the world, including the CIA. It seemed that their headquarters were no longer in Washington at that time.

“Why leave Washington?”

Dunn also asked, pretending to be curious.

At this time, Lloyd's face was obviously not very good. He was so anxious to return to the country and the headquarters just to be closer to the political center of the entire United States. This way he would have more opportunities in the future. If the CIA headquarters moved out of Washington, then if he wanted to continue to make progress in the future, who would he show his achievements to?

"Of course Mr. Dulles is confident that he can apply for a large sum of money to help us rebuild a larger base. And even if we move away from Washington, according to the information I have, it seems that we will not move too far away. We will probably move to Virginia!"

William showed a happy smile on his face.

“Although on the surface we have moved away from Washington, it seems that the status of this political center has been lowered!

But in fact, we will most likely have to expand our staff significantly in the future, and the base of our entire headquarters will be expanded several times to train specialized agents!

It should be said that most people will benefit from this, just like in the Far East. After Mr. Dulles takes office and implements the base issue, the current number of people will likely double after the expansion!

By then, no matter which region the agents are operating in, they will definitely have more sources of funds! Moreover, the power in our hands will greatly strengthen some specific work, and we will also get full support. Some things cannot be explained too clearly, but I believe you can understand that there are some excessive things that we used to be cautious about, and even tried not to do, but in the future we can be more unscrupulous!"

Dunn immediately understood what William meant. He knew that the excessive things William mentioned must include subverting the regimes of some countries. You know, judging from the information that will be made public in the future, the CIA has done a lot of such things, especially in South America, Central America and North America.

It is somewhat ironic that the fate of some small countries is not even qualified to be in the hands of big countries, but is in the hands of a certain intelligence agency of a big country.

It seems that in the future, many small countries will frequently launch coups d'etat, and the CIA will be behind them to some extent. This should have started from this era.

This made Dunn sigh in his heart. You know, among these small countries, some countries are not small in area, but their strength is there. No matter how large the land area is, if it is not strong, it is just a small country.

Apart from anything else, in the future war between Russia and Ukraine, the shadow of the United States will definitely be behind Ukraine. There is no need for actual evidence. You can figure it out with your brain!

You know, Ukraine is not a small country in any aspect, but in the hands of the United States it can only be a cannon fodder.

When he said this, Lloyd's eyes lit up.

The strengthening of the CIA's power was only good for him, so he was relieved and no longer worried. After the CIA's headquarters left Washington, it would be marginalized away from the political center.

Things turned out just as Dunn had expected. In the following conversation, the two men seemed even more unscrupulous and revealed many inside stories of the CIA. However, Dunn just sat aside and kept silent.

In fact, as an agent who had just joined the CIA for more than a year, Dunn did not have many channels to learn about these things before. Although he had heard some about them before traveling through time and could find some information when searching for information, when he really came into contact with these things, Dunn was a little shocked.

It turns out that when your strength reaches a certain level, you can really do whatever you want.

Just two CIA agents could actually ignore most countries in the world. This seemed a bit mysterious to Dunn. But when the facts were clearly laid out before him, Dunn felt a sense of unreality.

"Haha! Cheers to a bright future!"

At this time, Lloyd raised his glass, and seeing his flushed face, it was obvious that he had drunk a little too much.

Dunn and William also raised their glasses out of respect and drank the red wine in them.

The dinner lasted until very late and ended almost in the early morning.

If William and Dunn hadn't both been leaving Japan by plane the next day, it would probably have lasted until the second half of the night.

"Dunn, you did a good job! You did a good job in South Korea. You must keep working hard in the future! It will only be good for you if Mr. Dulles takes office!"

After separating from Lloyd, William, who seemed to be drunk, suddenly sobered up and patted Dunn on the shoulder to encourage him.

Sure enough, it was not an easy task for these agents to get them drunk, Dunn complained in his heart.

"I just did what I was supposed to do! But don't worry, I will definitely do better and better in the future. At least I won't make any big mistakes!"

Dunn nodded and assured.

"And Rui is left to you!"

Looking at the serious William, Dunn nodded heavily again.

Dunn could see that William had officially handed his sister over to him.

On the way back in the car, the two no longer talked about the internal affairs of the CIA and intelligence matters, but mainly talked about their own family matters, which was regarded as a way to let each other know about their respective family situations.

Early the next morning, Dunn, who originally wanted to return to South Korea directly, changed his itinerary and went back to Hong Kong first.

The person who came to Hong Kong to pick him up this time was not Kurt, but a black-haired Chinese young man with fair skin.

Gary Locke officially took charge of the Hong Kong branch.

Now Kurt has begun to gradually separate the English version of the Metropolitan News from the Hong Kong Metropolitan News. He basically no longer cares about Hong Kong affairs, and Dunn has brought several of Locke's main competitors to South Korea.

It also allowed Gary Locke to quickly stabilize the Hong Kong branch.

"Sir, you're back!"

After seeing Dunn, Locke greeted him respectfully.

Dunn nodded, got into the car without saying anything more. Locke didn't know about Dunn's situation. In fact, after Bai Jianming left, the entire Hong Kong branch knew that Dunn was helping the mainland, so basically only Liu Liyuan was left.

In order to protect Dunn, if you are not at the Hong Kong level, you will not know Dunn's true position at all.

After getting in the car, Dunn did not talk much with Locke about mainland China. He just asked Locke about his recent work, especially the recent situation after he took over the Hong Kong branch.

Dunn will certainly protect himself, and he will not reveal his identity to the new mainland agents.

Locke also respectfully reported the recent situation to Dunn in detail, because only more than 20 days had passed.

Therefore, some specific work has not yet begun. During these 20 days, Gary Locke was basically reorganizing the Hong Kong branch.

After all, Dunn transferred a large number of people from the Xiangjiang area to South Korea, and Kurt also took some people away, so the entire Xiangjiang branch was basically reorganized.

So the work in the Hong Kong branch is not that easy now.

After listening to Locke's report, Dunn nodded with satisfaction. It should be said that Locke was really capable at work. The current situation was in line with Dunn's prediction, allowing the mainland to control the entire CIA's Hong Kong branch.

In the future, the mainland can also use this as a springboard to insert some personnel into the Central Youth Bureau. However, if the mainland inserts some Chinese agents, it will be difficult for them to obtain high positions in the Central Youth Bureau.

However, this impact is not great. After all, although the main enemy of the mainland at this stage is the United States on the surface, the mainland’s actual competitors for a long time are several neighboring countries. It has to wait until the era when Dunn travels through time and the mainland fully revives, and only then can it be considered an official opponent of the United States.
