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

Dunn quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and realized that if he couldn't deal with the old man in front of him, his retirement plan might not be implemented.

Although this old man does not hold any military position and is unlikely to interfere in military affairs, it would be easy for him to disrupt his retirement.

Thinking of this, Dunn glared at Antonio, his cheap brother, with some annoyance.

He knew that the John Dulles in front of him was not simple at all. At the same time, if he wanted to do well in the future, it would be best for him to curry favor with him. After all, this old man would become the Secretary of State of the United States in the future, and his younger brother Allen Dulles was even more famous.

He was the future director of the CIA. Of course, he didn’t know much about this era, but he did know about the Dulles brothers.

Helplessly, Dunn had to force a smile and asked.

"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, Mr. Dulles?"

Dulles could see that Dunn was somewhat unwilling to give in, but that didn't matter to him. What mattered was that Dunn had given in.

"I would like to invite Mr. Dunn to visit the Red Empire in the North."

After hearing Dulles' request, Dunn felt a black screen before his eyes. You know, he is now a real American, and the Cold War has come to an end in this era.

It's easy to tell that it's definitely not a good thing for this old guy to go to the red empire in the north by himself.

"Mr. Dulles, can I refuse?"

The Red Empire of this era was not the Soviet revisionist one that came later. In Dunn's eyes, it was still worth a visit, but Dunn absolutely did not want to enter the Red Empire with the intentions of this group of politicians.

"Of course! Mr. Dunn can certainly refuse me, but don't you want to listen to my conditions first? You know, risks often coexist with opportunities!"

As if he had a firm grasp on Dunn, Dulles picked up the coffee on the table again, blew on it, and tasted it slowly, waiting for Dunn's answer.

Dunn frowned slightly...

Half an hour later, Antonio and Dunn walked out of the Sailors Club together with gloomy faces.

"Antonio, you are really my brother. Are you thinking about me dying quickly so that you can inherit my father's fortune alone?"

After returning to the jeep, Dunn questioned in Italian, of course the second half of the sentence was a joke. Their father used to be quite wealthy, but he went bankrupt during the Great Depression, and now there is not much assets for the two brothers to inherit.

Antonio was a little embarrassed. Before he brought Dunn to see Dulles, he didn't know Dulles's specific purpose. He only knew that Dulles wanted to find a translator who was proficient in Eastern European languages ​​and Russian.

In Antonio's view, the need for translation talents in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was an opportunity for his brother, but he never expected that Dulles actually wanted his brother to go to the Red Empire to carry out a secret mission.

And it turned out to be information about investigating mushroom eggs. Even if one was slow to react, one knew that this task would be fraught with difficulties. It was certain that the Red Empire was secretly researching mushroom eggs.

However, if you want to investigate this kind of thing, it will definitely be full of difficulties. As for the specific issues of the investigation, Dulles did not reveal too much information just now, and it is impossible for him to reveal too much information. We will have to wait until the action is taken to understand more, or in other words, we will not know much.

Because according to old man Dulles, his main task was to serve as a traveling translator.

"Dunn, you shouldn't have agreed to his request! I didn't know he wanted you to do this mission!"

Antonio shook his head guiltily.

"I had hoped that he could find you a job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."

Seeing his brother's expression, Dunn knew that Antonio had not cheated him. Although Dunn had not had contact with his brother for a long time, from his previous life's memory, the two brothers had always had a good relationship since childhood.

Because of the big age gap between his older brother and his predecessor, his older brother was his biggest support besides his father since childhood. Especially during his school days, with such an older brother, no one dared to bully his predecessor. Anyone who dared to do so would definitely be strangled to death by the tall and strong Antonio.

"Okay, brother! I was just joking! Just like the old man said, this is also an opportunity for me. At least if I can come back alive, there will be a good job waiting for me."

Dunn laughed and patted Antonio on the shoulder.

"But, Dunn! This task is not easy..."

Antonio wanted to say something else, but was interrupted again by Dunn.

"Brother! I have my considerations! Although this mission seems to be difficult, in my eyes, if it is carried out properly, it is actually not that difficult. At least I am confident that I can come back alive!"

Dunn said with confidence.

“And since that old man has set his sights on me, even if I reject him, he won’t say anything on the surface, but he will definitely not let me off easily behind my back. At least I don’t have to expect my retirement application to be approved.

You also know the character of these politicians! They may be enthusiastic about you on the surface, but once you lose your usefulness or disobey them in their eyes, it will be impossible for you to have an easy life! "

Speaking of this, Dunn was really helpless.

If it had happened to someone else, Dunn would have turned hostile long ago.

Sometimes I am as rigid as a German.

Can't you just secretly use your connections to get your retirement application approved?

He insisted on acting on his own without consulting me and brought me into so much trouble.

However, Dunn also has his own overall considerations. This matter is a trouble, but also an opportunity.

Before traveling through time, Dunn was just a small translator. He also worked as a high-paid simultaneous interpreter and accumulated some assets.

But he had no business sense, especially he didn't know much about the information of this era.

After retiring from the military in the future, I really have to think carefully about how to support myself. Continuing to be a translator is also a good job, at least I can maintain a decent life.

However, Dunn, who had been doing this job for many years in his previous life, had become somewhat bored with it. He also did not want to be entangled in endless work in this life. He wanted more freedom.

This time, it is indeed an opportunity for Dunn.

Dunn couldn't remember exactly when the Red Empire successfully detonated the first mushroom egg.

But he vaguely remembered that it was shortly before Rabbit announced the establishment of the country.

The Rabbit announced the founding of the country on October 10st, so it is highly likely that the mushroom egg of the Red Empire was successfully detonated in August or September.

If you calculate the time carefully, it’s only been a few months.

Dunn's plan was to follow the secret team mentioned by Dulles into the Red Empire and then find a way to betray this action team.

If he operated properly, he would just need to escape unscathed and find out the specific time when the Red Empire experimented with the mushroom eggs, even if it was just an approximate time, and he would have almost completed his mission.

Although this plan is somewhat difficult to implement, it is not impossible to accomplish.

If all else fails, even if I am arrested by the Red Empire, the worst that can happen is that I will become a spy for the Red Empire.

Of course, this is just an alternative plan. If possible, Dunn doesn't want to get too deeply involved in this kind of thing, otherwise it will be difficult for him to extricate himself in the future.

Being a spy is not easy. You have to know that the Cold War lasted until the collapse of the Red Empire in the early 90s.

With such a long time span, if Dunn was accidentally exposed during this period, his life would definitely be difficult. The best outcome would be to escape back to the Red Empire and settle down and retire there.

It has to be said that the Red Empire was pretty good to the spies who had worked for them.

But Dunn also has his own selfish motives. He would rather stay in the United States and be influenced by capitalism.

At least the living materials here will be more colorful. For a long time in the future, because of the existence of the Red Empire, the welfare benefits in the United States and other European countries will also be good.

"Dunn! Dunn!"

Dunn was lost in thought when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted. A large hand was waving in front of his eyes.

When I came to my senses, I saw Antonio standing next to me with an unhappy look on his face.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Antonio was just chattering about a lot of things, but he found that his brother was actually distracted. How could this make him angry?

"Ah!? Bro, I was just thinking about something, what did you say?"

Dunn scratched his head awkwardly. He really didn't hear what Antonio said just now.

"If it really doesn't work, you should stay in the army! Although Japan looks like hell, it is really a paradise for us! Don't pay attention to what Mr. Dulles says, I will help you reject him!"

Antonio shook his head helplessly and repeated the core of what he had just said.

"Don't do that! Brother, I really don't want to stay in the army anymore!"

Dunn quickly shook his head and refused. What a joke! Faced with the possibility of being transferred to the Korean battlefield in the future, Dunn still chose to take the risk of going to the Red Empire.

As long as my idea can be realized, the chance of survival should be much greater than on the Korean battlefield.

Moreover, as a liberal arts student in his previous life, Dunn did not have much yearning for the battlefield full of artillery fire. Essentially, Dunn was still a rather cowardly person.

He was afraid of pain and death, and even fainted at the sight of blood for quite a long time.

This bad habit was completely corrected after he traveled through time and space and became accustomed to seeing blood.

"Don't you really want to stay in the army?"

Antonio really didn't understand his brother's thoughts and why he was so determined to retire.

"Brother, do you really think that my future will be bright if I stay in the military?"

Dunn sighed and gave his brother a shot of prevention.

"Look at China now. The bald guy's army we support has been defeated again and again and may be driven out of the mainland.

Looking at the peninsula, maybe tomorrow they will start fighting each other and the news will come in!

No matter which side those guys in the Ministry of Defense choose to intervene on, do you think the army in the small notebook can remain unscathed?

Do you really want to watch me go to the battlefield again?"

Faced with his brother's question, Antonio couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
