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

"What are these guys thinking? I, who can't speak anything except English, was assigned to a foreign country? You two, who are talented in many foreign languages, stayed in China!"

At lunch the next day, Heder said somewhat indignantly.

Although he had never been abroad, after communicating with Deng Enyu's people in the past few days, he still wanted to work with the two of them. However, the result of today's assignment was that Dunn and Payne both stayed in the country to work, while he was assigned to the UK.

This made Heder feel abandoned.

"Do you have to speak good English to be assigned to the UK?"

Dunn said with a smile that their training was completely over. Starting from today, they would have two days of rest before going to their respective assigned countries and regions.

This time, Dunn and Payne were actually grouped together, and both had to return to the New York area.

But for Dunn, this is basically like returning home. After all, it is only less than two hours' drive from New York to Enpai Port.

"Heder, isn't this what you wanted? You've never been abroad before, right? You're going to England right after you're assigned. It's a good opportunity for you to experience the British style!"

Payne blinked and made an expression every man knows.

"What's so good about Britain? Wasn't it bombed into ruins by the Germans a long time ago?"

Heder rolled his eyes as he ate.

"Just be happy. I heard that there is a shortage of various materials in Europe right now. If we go there, we can just use two chocolates..."

Payne said with a smirk, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Heder.

"What era are you talking about? That was when the war just ended. Now the war has been over for more than 4 years? There are no such good things anymore!"

There was a sense of regret in his words.

"It's just that the price has become a little higher! I think with your salary and the gift, it's easy for you to have more romantic encounters, right?"

Dunn also joked.

"You two guys, stop making fun of me. To be honest, I really don't want to go to England! Dunn, you are more familiar with Mr. Hans. Can you ask Mr. Hans to transfer me over to go to New York with you?"

Heder put down the knife and fork in his hand and said seriously.

"The three of us are together, so it's easier for us to take care of each other. It's not like you two can leave me behind!"

"I don't have that much face!"

Dunn shook his head helplessly, he knew why Payne went with him to the New York area.

But he can speak three languages, although Chinese is not one of them. However, Payne grew up near Chinatown in Seattle and had a lot of contact with Chinese people while stationed in the Philippines, not to mention a trip to Taiwan.

Although I can only speak some daily expressions in Chinese haltingly, my listening ability is not a problem and I can understand most Chinese.

This time, they should also cooperate to monitor the professor named Wu Lin.

For someone like Herder who doesn't know any Chinese, it would be basically useless even if he went over.

What's more, Dunn also has a clear self-awareness. He really doesn't have that much face to ask Mr. Hans to bring Heder along.

"I've already told you that Mr. Hans only asked me to translate some work documents! As you know, the Red Party has established a country on the mainland some time ago, and now there seem to be a lot of Chinese documents in the bureau that need to be translated urgently."

Seeing Dunn say this, Heddle stopped talking, sighed, picked up the knife and fork again, and started to finish the lunch in front of him.

"Herder, don't be too discouraged. There is still a long way to go. You can't stay in the UK forever! We will definitely have the opportunity to work together in the future!"

Payne also advised from the side.

"Okay, you two heartless guys don't need to comfort me!"

Heder said, rolling his eyes.

"I'm telling you two brats, be careful! There are more opportunities abroad than at home. Maybe I'll be able to make continuous contributions and get promoted in Europe, definitely faster than you. When the time comes, I'll be your boss. Don't blame me for making things difficult for you to avenge you for abandoning me today!"

"That's right! There are indeed more opportunities abroad than at home, and the chances to make meritorious contributions are definitely more than we have!"

Dunn nodded and said seriously.

"So Payne, in order to avoid being bullied in the future, why don't we just kill him now!"

"agree!"

Payne nodded solemnly, immediately stood up, and prepared to pounce on Heder.

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you two serious? I was just joking! Payne, sit down! We are all good brothers, how could I do something like that? It's just a joke!"

Seeing Payne Huddle standing up, he immediately surrendered.

Unlike Dunn Payne, he had been working in civilian jobs for a long time, unlike Dunn Payne who came from the military.

Whether in fighting or shooting courses, Hurdle is always among the bottom few and there is no way he can be a match for a strong man like Dunn Payne.

"You are smart, kid. I tell you, even if your position is higher than ours in the future, if you dare to make things difficult for us, I will beat you to death!"

After sitting down, Payne said viciously.

"Alright, alright! I'm really scared of you two!"

After lunch, the three returned to the dormitory and packed their own things. During the two days of rest, they could also go home and enjoy a short vacation. After reluctantly saying goodbye, Heder left first.

"You're really not going home?"

Dunn asked puzzledly as he looked at Payne who was going to New York with him.

"Why go back home? In just two days, I have to travel from the east coast to the west coast and back. There won't even be enough time on the road!"

Payne said helplessly.

"Actually, you can take a plane! It only takes less than half a day to go back and forth, and you can fly from east to west and back again!"

Air transportation in the United States had begun to develop in the late 40s. Although not as fast as in later generations, there were still planes flying from New York to Seattle.

The next 40 years will also be a period of the fastest development for the U.S. aviation industry, and this trend will even continue into the st century.

"You make it sound so easy, but do you know how expensive air tickets are?"

Payne rolled his eyes.

Dunn was also dejected. Although the CIA's salary was quite high, the two men had just retired from the military after all, and they might not have that much savings.

For example, Dunn’s previous salary in the army was not even enough to cover his time in Japan.
