Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 377 I'll let you be better than me!
Shanghai.

Xu Tian, ​​who personally "planned" Lin Nansheng's [defection], was under pressure that most people could hardly imagine.

If his superior was not Zhang Anping, the best thing Xu Tian should do at this time is to pack up and run away!

Fortunately, his superior is Zhang Anping, a man who never passes the buck to his subordinates.

Therefore, the few insiders in Shanghai knew that Lin Nansheng's [defection] was the work of Zhang Anping, and Xu Tian was just a person who handled it.

But even so, Xu Tian was under a lot of pressure.

Because according to Zhang Anping's plan, all the captured brothers of Lin Nansheng's intelligence team must be brought back... without missing a single one!
But the key point is that Zhang Anping is now "lost contact".

From the perspective of the Shanghai District, they could not receive the news that Zhang Anping was seriously injured and hospitalized. However, after several days without any telegrams from Zhang Anping, Xu Tian, ​​the temporary head of the Shanghai District, naturally realized that something must have happened to Zhang Anping and had to suspend the remote control of the Shanghai District.

However, can the plan be terminated because of Zhang Anping’s “loss of contact”?

Xu Tian made a choice:

No!

All members of Lin Nansheng's intelligence team must be brought back without exception!
Fortunately, the imperial sword given to him by Zhang Anping is still effective. Fortunately, the structure of the Shanghai district allows Xu Tian to control the situation with the help of Zhang Anping's imperial sword, instead of being caught in an endless power struggle.

International Settlement, Midland Coffee House.

Xu Tian, ​​dressed in a suit and tie, drank coffee leisurely like a successful man.

No one would associate him with the senior translator of the Special High Police - until a man in a windbreaker and a top hat came in.

The other party came straight to Xu Tian, ​​sat down with a smile and gently put his hat beside him:
"meet again."

Gu Shenyan!

This person is the one Xu Tian wants to contact.

Code name 'Trojan Horse'!
Gu Shenyan had been the chief steward and external relations director during the Special Group period. In theory, it was not appropriate for him to infiltrate the enemy and lurk there.

However, the structure of the special group means that he does not need to deal with more of his own people, and for external liaisons, he only has to deal with Mr. Lu and Wu Jingzhong. As long as there are no problems in the links, the confidentiality of his identity is actually very high.

He and Xu Tian were acquaintances - both were high-ranking members of the special group, so naturally they had met before.

Xu Tian looked calm:
"Let's get down to business."

"explain."

Xu Tian said softly:
"I will send someone to contact the Japanese as a secret special envoy from Chongqing Headquarters. I need you to confirm his identity with the Japanese."

……

Pine chamber mechanism.

These days, Matsumuro Yoshitaka's eyes have been firmly fixed on Chongqing.

If this mission succeeds, he will be a hero of the empire, and all the failures in the past will be nothing compared to this great achievement.

To this end, he handed over all control of the Shanghai area spies to Tsukamoto and Okamoto in the past few days.

But one thing disrupted Matsumuro Yoshitaka's focus on Chongqing.

"Chief, we have captured a man who claims to be a representative of the Chongqing Military Control Commission and wants to negotiate a deal with you!"

"A representative of the Military Control Commission? Want to discuss a deal with me?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was stunned.

Before the outbreak of the full-scale war of aggression against China, the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was then the Secret Service, occasionally cooperated with the Japanese, for example, in dealing with the Communist Party in a unified manner.

But after the full-scale invasion of China, the only time the Military Intelligence Bureau cooperated with the Japanese secret service was probably with Kusunoki Sanetaka. The result was that the Military Intelligence Bureau gave out real intelligence and only got a few hundred thousand yen from Kusunoki. The last sum of several million yen was cheated away by Kusunoki using a bill of exchange that could only be cashed after a few days.

"The Military Control Commission wants to negotiate a deal with me?!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka immediately became interested. He wanted to see what the Military Control Commission was up to!

"Notify Gu Shenyan and ask him to come over."

"As for our guest, let Gu Shenyan come in to see me after he arrives."

Matsumuro Yoshitaka called him, so Gu Shenyan naturally rushed there as soon as possible.

He was arranged by Matsumuro Yoshitaka to work in the study, responsible for eavesdropping on his meeting with the representative of the Military Control Commission.

The secret envoy of the Military Intelligence Bureau came to Matsumuro Yoshitaka's office under the guidance of Matsumuro Yoshitaka's guards.

This was a middle-aged man in his thirties dressed like a businessman (at this moment, a middle-aged man working on a keyboard revealed his great sadness...). If he had not shown no fear after coming in, even with Matsumuro Yoshitaka's keen eyes, it would have been difficult for him to believe at the first moment that this person was a secret envoy of the Military Control Commission.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka gestured for him to sit down, and after he sat down, he poured tea and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"No matter your surname is Bai, I won't reply."

"Why not?" Matsumuro Yoshitaka's eyes changed after a slight smile, and he said solemnly: "Sir, you are so brave!"

Don’t go back if you lose!

He looked at the other person carefully. From his expression, he saw the ease of fearlessness of life and death, and thought to himself:
The Military Control Commission really knows how to select people!
Bai Buhui smiled and said, "If I don't have the guts, I wouldn't dare to take on such a mission!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka gave up the idea of ​​intimidation and asked directly: "Then let's stop talking nonsense - what is the purpose of Mr. Bai's visit?"

"Substitute."

Matsumuro Yoshitaka's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

Bai Buhui calmly took out a stack of photos and gently placed them on the table: "Exchange your people for ours."

Matsumuro Yoshitaka looked at the photos. In each photo there was a person who had been tortured - there was no doubt about their identity.

"Mr. Bai, you are taking it for granted!" Matsumuro Yoshitaka withdrew his gaze from the photo and said coldly, "How many people do you have?"

“Only 26 people will be replaced!”

Matsumuro Yoshitaka immediately understood that 26 people were the number of people arrested in Lin Nansheng's intelligence team after Lin Nansheng was arrested and defected.

"One for one?"

"Correct."

"Mr. Bai has no special requests?"

Bai Buhui shook his head.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka stuck his head out and approached Bai Buhui, and asked in an oppressive tone: "Where is Lin Nansheng?"

Bai Buhui said calmly:

"Dead man, is it necessary to change him?"

As if to match Bai Buhui's answer, hurried footsteps sounded, and the secretary walked in quickly and whispered in Matsumuro Yoshitaka's ear:

"Director, I just received news that Lin Nansheng's car was blocked by two cars on Dalin Road and then exploded. Lin Nansheng was killed on the spot."

Matsumuro Yoshitaka listened with an unchanged expression. He kept watching Bai Buhui's expression and found that there was a hint of... mockery on Bai Buhui's smiling face.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka motioned for his secretary to leave, then clapped his hands and said:
"Mr. Bai has good tactics, the Military Control Commission... has good tactics!"

He didn't ask Bai Buhui whether he was afraid that he would kill him in anger - with the name of Bai Buhui, this person must have already disregarded life and death, so why ask this?

Bai Buhui responded: "You are too kind. The head of the agency should know that the Military Control Commission does not tolerate traitors."

"Mr. Bai is right." Matsumuro Yoshitaka was not angry, but said in a gentle voice: "I still need to think about this matter again and again. Mr. Bai, how about you stay at my house for a few days?"

"Since Mr. Matsumuro has invited me, Bai will not refuse!"

Bai Buhui stood up and followed the guards out leisurely as if he was at home.

Bai Buhui left and Gu Shenyan came out of the suite.

"Mr. Gu, do you know him?"

Gu Shenyan said cautiously: "Chief, this person...I think I know him."

"Maybe? Is he from the Military Control Commission?"

Gu Shenyan shook his head: "If he is someone I know, he... should be from the Central Bureau of Investigation."

"A member of the Central Bureau of Investigation?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was stunned, then smiled and said:
"Interesting! So interesting!"

Bai Buhui...is actually someone from the Central Bureau of Investigation?

……

coffee house.

Gu Shenyan looked at Xu Tian and asked:

"how do you want to do it?"

"I need you to confirm with the Japanese that the secret envoy... is from the Central Bureau of Investigation!"

Someone from the Central Bureau of Investigation?

Gu Shenyan was extremely confused, why?
"and then?"

"Wait for the truth to be revealed." Xu Tian said.

……

Yoshitaka Matsumuro started planning the Secret Service a long time ago.

Of course, at this time, Matsumuro Yoshitaka did not know that his spy in the Military Control Commission was already under the surveillance of Boss Dai, and the reason why he did not remove it was because the time was not right.

After seeing Gu Shenyan confirm that Bai Buhui was not a member of the Military Control Commission, Matsumuro Yoshitaka began a secret investigation.

After this careful secret investigation, the truth came to light.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was in an especially good mood:
"Gu Sang, who do you think sent Bai Buhui?"

"Xu Rongzeng? He wants to use the assassins to frame the Military Control Commission for colluding with us?" Gu Shenyan made a bold guess.

"No!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka shook his head and said with admiration:
"Bai Buhui is a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation, but his mission was not assigned by the Central Bureau of Investigation!"

"So... it is indeed the Military Control Commission that wants to exchange prisoners with us?"

"No!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka denied it again:
"Gu Sang, you guessed wrong again."

Gu Shenyan was confused, and then he flattered him: "Please help me, Chief. I am completely confused now."

"The Military Intelligence Bureau has no intention of exchanging prisoners with us. In other words, the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters does not know about this matter at all!"

"Huh? Then..."

“It’s the Shanghai District!”

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was wise: "The ones who really want to exchange prisoners are the Shanghai District!"

“No!” Gu Shenyan said in surprise, “Our people are in the hands of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. The Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics can naturally get them back from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but not the Shanghai District!”

"Chief, they have no plans to exchange prisoners!"

"Don't be fooled!"

"Gu-san's reaction is really sharp!" Matsumuro Yoshitaka praised Gu Shenyan and then asked:
"So what conspiracy do you think the Shanghai District has?"

"conspiracy?"

Gu Shenyan pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He asked, "Are they trying to rob people?"

After saying this, Gu Shenyan paced back and forth excitedly, muttering as he walked:

"The Shanghai District has a very strong operational force. This time we cracked down on an intelligence group in the Shanghai District, but did not harm their operational force."

"Chief, they must be trying to kidnap someone! They have the ability to do so!"

Speaking of this, Gu Shenyan said excitedly:

"Please ask the head of the agency to follow the trend and set up an ambush in secret. Once they decide to kidnap someone, we will be able to catch them in the trap!"

……

coffee house.

Gu Shenyan was not too surprised - Zhang Anping's operation was more thrilling than Xu Tian's, he was used to it!

He asked Xu Tian:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Tian asked curiously, "What do you think Matsumuro Yoshitaka would do if he saw through my plan?"

What would he do?
Gu Shenyan concentrated on thinking.

Setting an ambush to catch the turtle in the jar?
……

Matsumuro Yoshitaka did not respond to Gu Shenyan's suggestion, but asked:
"Gu Sang, what do you think is important to intelligence agencies?"

What's important?
"Of course it's the intelligence network!"

Gu Shenyan answered without hesitation.

"Yes, the intelligence network has always been important." Matsumuro Yoshitaka nodded in agreement, and then said with emotion:
"There are several such intelligence networks in the Shanghai area. Unfortunately, they have been concealed by his strong operational capabilities until Lin Nansheng told us about it!"

"In fact, strong operational capabilities rely on stronger intelligence acquisition capabilities, but we have overlooked this point before!"

An action force can be replenished in a short period of time after slow or rapid infiltration - the Shanghai District has a brave and loyal army behind it, so it is really easy to replenish the action force.

But what about the intelligence network?
It is extremely difficult for a high-value intelligence officer to reach a position where he can easily obtain more intelligence.

"I want to crack down on the intelligence network in Shanghai. Do you understand, Gu Sang?"

Gu Shenyan suddenly said: "Chief, I understand!"

Then, he said hesitantly, "But... according to the rules of the Military Control Commission, these people who are exchanged back will not be reused. They must undergo a year or more of probation before they can return to work."

"I know!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka waved his hand and said, "I am prepared! The Empire's China strategy cannot be completed in one or two years - this will be a long-term project!"

"Gu Sang, go find a way to recruit a few of these people. After they are rescued, I will not activate them for a short period of time!"

"It will be a year or more before I activate them, do you understand?"

Gu Shenyan suppressed his joy and said, "Chief, I understand! Just wait and see what I will do!"

……

coffee house.

"Generally speaking, after a great victory, the enemy will be more 'peaceful' because he doesn't need to temporarily embellish himself with insignificant achievements."

Xu Tian analyzed calmly:

"Ryotaka Matsumuro is in this state of mind right now."

Gu Shenyan understood: "You mean, he won't be satisfied with ambushing our operational forces?"

"Yes! There is a 90% chance that he will choose to play the long game and catch the big fish!"

Gu Shenyan agreed - if the Japanese intelligence agencies in Shanghai had not won a great victory over Lin Nansheng, and if they had dozens of captured resistance elements in their hands this time, their most likely choice would be:
Shoot to deter!
But Matsumuro Yoshitaka has now destroyed an intelligence network in the Shanghai area and pulled out dozens of deeply hidden undercover agents.

At this time, he didn't need to use corpses to intimidate others, nor did he need to use corpses to prove that he was not just sitting there doing nothing.

Between the intelligence network and the operational force, Matsumuro Yoshitaka, who has a great victory, will definitely choose "far-sightedness" instead of pursuing the petty gains in front of him.

This is the contrast between the rich and the poor. The reason why the rich can have a long-term vision and give up the small profits in front of them is because they can do without caring!
But the poor can’t!

Don’t poor people know that they can sacrifice small profits for big gains?

I know!
But the poor have to believe in putting the money in their pockets.

The rich, on the other hand, don't have to consider this.

This is the mentality of Matsumuro Yoshitaka now.

Gu Shenyan looked at Xu Tian with admiration, and in a trance he seemed to see Zhang Anping again.

When you calculate people's hearts, the highest level is to make the other person think that you have calculated you!

……

Matsumuro Yoshitaka silently watched Gu Shenyan's next move.

This was his test of Gu Shenyan - he believed in Gu Shenyan's loyalty, because Lin Nansheng's intelligence team had proven that there was absolutely no problem with Gu Shenyan!

He was testing Gu Shenyan's ability. Only when he was capable could he entrust him with important tasks.

And Gu Shenyan did not disappoint his expectations.

Next, Gu Shenyan successfully instigated the rebellion of four captured Military Control Commission members, and used a sleight of hand to make the other three people appear to be suspected of secretly rebelling.

If that were all, Matsumuro Yoshitaka would not think that Gu Shenyan's methods were that powerful. What really satisfied Matsumuro Yoshitaka was Gu Shenyan's next arrangement:

The four traitors who were turned against the government were divided into three groups by Gu Shenyan. Group A consists of one person and will lie in wait for a long time.

There are two people in Group B, and they don’t know each other’s identities.

There is a person from Group C who will, in the days ahead, use clues to uncover the two traitors lurking in Group B.

And one person from Group A will hide behind the person from Group C - in other words, the two people from Group B exist to cover up the traitor in Group C.

But the one who really has high hopes is actually the traitor in Group A. Both the two people in Group B and the one person in Group C are smokescreens and firewalls!
Matsumuro Yoshitaka had only one reaction to Gu Shenyan's plan:
thumbs up!
High! Really high!

This person is Okamoto Heiji's man, what a pity!

After praising Gu Shenyan, Matsumuro Ryotaka stood in front of the window in high spirits and said softly:

"Shanghai District... let you guys think you are better than them!"
