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

"You still know how to go home!"

When Dunn walked out of the New York Port, an old man with silver hair who looked 70% similar to him walked up to him and said with an unhappy look on his face.

It was none other than Dunn’s father, Mario Batomani.

However, although old Bartomani said some unpleasant things, he still helped his son take the luggage and stuffed it into the trunk of a car parked on the side of the road.

"Isn't it that there is not much freedom in the army?"

Dunn scratched his head and said embarrassedly that the real reason was that he had no feelings for the parents of his current body, so he didn't want to go home at all. Although he inherited the memory of his previous life, he was always afraid that his closest people would discover clues in some details.

It would be difficult for him to explain at that time. The reason he went home now was because it had been many years since he last went home, and he had been on the battlefield and stationed in Japan for such a long time, so some changes in his personality and behavior were understandable.

What's more, Dunn really doesn't plan to live at home permanently.

Even his job is likely to be assigned between New York and near his hometown.

Anyway, he is already over 18 years old and has very legitimate reasons not to live with his parents.

In the United States, it is rare for children to live with their parents after they reach adulthood.

"Everyone else has vacations, why don't you have any?"

Faced with Mario's questioning, Dunn was a little overwhelmed. After all, he was the father of this body, and when he was stationed in Tokyo in the later period, he did have a certain amount of vacation every year, but he had never taken a vacation.

Dunn didn't expect that his father would come to pick him up in person. His family's business had gone bankrupt a few years ago and his father was heavily in debt.

However, after these few years, my father has recovered. Not only has he paid off all his debts, but his business has also started to pick up again.

At this time, Dunn had already opened the car door and got in with his father. His father was still driving, and he sat in the passenger seat.

"To be honest, the reason I didn't take a vacation was that I wanted to develop well in the army. Unfortunately, unlike my brother, I didn't have a good supporter and I didn't graduate from a military academy. After the war, I was a second lieutenant and deputy company commander. After so many years, I still haven't made any progress. I'm a little tired, so I retired from the army and went to work in a government agency!"

He cannot tell his father about joining the CIA. No one, including Antonio, knows that he has joined the CIA. His identity must be kept secret, but he can announce that he has found a civilian job in the government.

This is also a way for the CIA to hide its agents.

But Dunn was not optimistic about the job that required such concealment. Just as Hans had told him before, he might be called to the Korean battlefield at any time, and he would have to undergo targeted agent training after his vacation.

"You two boys have finally made something of yourself!"

After Mario started the car, he smiled with some relief.

"But one of you is in the military, and the other is working for the government. Who will take over the family business in the future?"

Then Mario frowned again and began to worry.

"Dad, I see you're still strong and healthy. You should still be able to handle the business. There's no need to be in such a hurry. How about retiring?"

In fact, Mario is almost 60 years old. He got married relatively early. He married his first wife and had Antonio when he was less than 20 years old. Then he came to the United States when Antonio was eight or nine years old.

After his first wife died, he raised Anthony wholeheartedly. It was not until Antonio grew up that he got his second wife, Dunn's mother.

Life can be said to be very colorful. There have been glory and there have been troughs. When Antonio was a child, he experienced the first trough in his life. When Antonio became an adult, his career also reached its peak.

But when Dunn was born during the Great Depression before World War II, his business went bankrupt and his life reached its lowest point.

Fortunately, he did not sink into despair. He was already in his 40s when he started his second business. After more than 10 years of development, he was able to make a comeback.

But this is actually a bit bitter. Antonio and Dunn both had a hard childhood. Their family life started to become prosperous only after they grew up. From this point of view, the growth patterns of the two brothers are very similar.

"No matter how strong my body is, it won't last for a few more years. After all, my age is there!"

Mario let out a long sigh. At this time, he had already driven his car out of the port area and headed towards his hometown.

"Then when you want to retire, just sell the business! You should know me and my brother, neither of us are cut out for business! Anyway, we can both support ourselves now, so you and mom can travel around the country and enjoy your retirement life!"

Hearing his son say this, Mario glared at Dunn beside him.

Regarding his business affairs, he thought about it for a long time and knew that Dunn was telling the truth. Neither he nor Antonio had the right personalities for doing business.

Antonio is too old-fashioned, and the youngest son is too eccentric and unstable.

This also made Mario worry a lot. He thought about training his younger son because his eldest son had made good progress in the military.

But this kid has been staying in the army and has not come back, which makes him very worried.

"How can we just throw away the business we have worked so hard to develop?"

Mario shook his head.

"I have decided. If neither of you want to take over my business, I will let your uncle's son take over!"

"Dario?"

Dunn pondered for a long time before searching for the name from his previous life's memory. Dunn did have an uncle, but he had always been in Italy. Before the start of World War II, he saw that Europe was really not peaceful, so he brought his family to the United States to live with Dunn's father.

However, the Dunn family was in a low point at that time and could not help their uncle's family much. They could only try their best to arrange for them to live in the United States and find jobs for their uncle's family locally.

However, Dunn's uncle developed quite well later on, because when he was in Italy, Dunn's uncle was a famous local engineer. In addition, he was a very smooth person, so after coming to the United States, he was like a fish in water.

My father was able to turn over a second time thanks to my uncle’s help.

"That's great! I remember Dario's personality. I think his personality is suitable for doing business!"

Dunn is not interested in his father's business. His father's second venture is an Italian restaurant. In recent years, it has developed well in Enpai Port and opened two branches. It is said that he is planning to open a branch in New York in the near future!

"In the future, my brother and I will take care of the family business. You don't have to worry about anyone causing trouble. It's better to leave it to Dario than to outsiders!"

Dunn said with a smile.

Seeing that his youngest son had no objection, Mario felt relieved. The reason why he planned to hand over the business to his younger brother's children was that neither Dunn nor Antonio were suitable for business.

It was more out of guilt towards his brother's family. When they came to the United States, he was at his lowest point, and they were unable to help his brother at all. Instead, his brother suffered a lot from him.

He had considered for a long time about giving the shares of several restaurants to his younger brother's son. What he worried most was that his youngest son would not agree. He was relieved about his eldest son, who probably would not get involved in the family business if he devoted himself to developing in the military.

"Don't worry, I will only give him half of the shares, and the remaining half will depend on the future. If you don't develop well in the government, you can go home and inherit the business. If you want to stay in the government, I will let Dario buy this half of the shares and leave the cash to you and your eldest brother!"

At this time, Dunn was leaning on the passenger seat, feeling drowsy and wanting to sleep. When he heard his father say this, he mumbled something in response.

"Let's talk about it then!"

Gradually, Dunn fell asleep. Mario saw his youngest son like this and shook his head helplessly.
