Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 380 Zhang Anping’s way of doing things (Part )

What was about to happen in the Special Branch of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Telecommunications Department sounded like a myth, but it actually happened.

But unfortunately it ended in tragedy.

If Zhang Anping remembered correctly, the reason for being exposed was that a vacuum tube on the radio was damaged.

This was originally a wearing part. After it was damaged, Zhang Weilin's superior took the opportunity to retaliate and put Zhang Weilin in solitary confinement. After being put in solitary confinement, Zhang Weilin lost his patience and took advantage of the guards' negligence to escape and fled to Zengjiayan.

This run naturally attracted the attention of the Military Control Commission.

If Zhang Weilin had evacuated at this time, the tragedy that followed would not have happened.

But Zhang Weilin was persuaded to come back by our party comrades in Zengjiayan.

The Military Control Commission then searched Zhang Weilin's residence and found several applications to join the party and some intelligence.

This has reached a point of no return.

The end result was that Zhang Weilin's intelligence team was completely wiped out. Except for one traitor, the other six of the seven members were all executed. The female comrade who served as a liaison was also arrested and executed.

As for the only traitor, he ultimately could not escape the purge of the Military Control Commission. He was also shot dead by secret agents during the purge on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing.

Recalling his memories, Zhang Anping decided to intervene in this amazing intelligence group as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

……

Sister Qian asked him to confirm whether Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing had really defected to our party - there was actually no need to check this.

But Zhang Anping still returned to the Military Control Commission and began to investigate seriously.

The Military Control Commission did have another plan to infiltrate our party, but it did not match up with Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing.

After two days of secret investigation, Zhang Anping was able to confirm that the actions of Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing were indeed spontaneous.

Because of his secret observation, he also confirmed one thing:

Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing are not reckless, but simply... unskilled.

This is not slandering them, but Zhang Anping's true evaluation.

During the few days that Zhang Anping was secretly observing, he discovered that Zhang Weilin was actively in contact with many members of the Telecommunications Department in private. He even confirmed that Zhao Ligeng, Yang Guang, Chen Guozhu, Wang Xizhen and An Wenyuan were the comrades that Zhang Weilin wanted to develop.

Being able to make such a determination just by observation shows how unprofessional Zhang Weilin is in this regard.

Zhang Anping had no intention of mocking Zhang Weilin - the other party was just a professional telecommunications worker, not a professional agent. He did this kind of thing purely out of passion and pursuit of light. It was not his fault that his methods were immature.

But training them into qualified undercover agents is the top priority.

After confirming that Zhang Weilin had truly surrendered and had been secretly developing comrades, Zhang Anping met with Sister Qian again.

This time the meeting point was an intersection. Zhang Anping drove over and took Sister Qian directly into the car.

The car was moving forward aimlessly, and Sister Qian asked after getting in the car:
"How's your investigation going?"

"Did Zhang Weilin go to Zengjiayan again last night?"

Sister Qian was shocked: "The Military Control Commission is monitoring him?"

"No, I was the one who monitored him - this comrade of ours is extremely unprofessional."

When Sister Qian heard Zhang Anping use the term "our comrade", she understood that Zhang Anping had confirmed the authenticity of the other party's surrender.

"He should have mentioned the list of comrades to be developed next, right?"

"Yes." Sister Qian hesitated and did not give the detailed list.

"The members he wants to recruit should be Zhao Ligeng, Yang Guang, Chen Guozhu, Wang Xizhen and An Wenyuan, right?"

"Did you peek at the list he prepared? No, he wrote the list in Zengjiayan."

Sister Qian looked at Zhang Anping in confusion: "How did you know?"

"I figured it out after following them for a few days." Zhang Anping shrugged and asked Sister Qian for instructions: "Leave these people to me."

"No way!" Sister Qian objected instinctively. Zhang Anping "exposed" Zhang Weilin so easily, which proved that this comrade's agent quality was very poor. Placing them in the No. 2 Intelligence Group was extremely irresponsible to the No. 2 Intelligence Group.

Zhang Anping did not argue, but asked: "How do you plan to arrange them?"

Sister Qian asked curiously, "What are your considerations?"

"First, immediately have them cut off contact with Zeng Jiayan."

Sister Qian nodded: "Yes, this is a must."

Zengjiayan was the focus of surveillance by the Military Control Commission and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Zhang Weilin had not been targeted by the Military Control Commission three times. It could only be said that he was extremely lucky, but luck cannot always be with you.

"Second, they must be professionally trained."

Sister Qian was very embarrassed about this:

"I have consulted with my superiors, but given their special status, it is difficult for them to spare enough time for training."

Whether it was Zhang Weilin or Feng Chuanqing, they were all working personnel of the Military Control Commission, and there was no time to provide them with training - even the people that Zhang Weilin wanted to develop were all working personnel, so how could they be trained?
Zhang Anping can raise questions, so he must have solutions:
"I'll take care of it."

"How do you solve it?" asked Sister Qian.

"The Military Control Commission will organize an internal training."

Sister Qian was speechless—this is so unreasonable!!!
She didn't object, and Zhang Anping really had enough reasons to organize similar training.

Zhang Anping saw that Sister Qian had no objection, so he paused and said:
"Third, this intelligence group cannot be established."

"It can't be established?" Sister Qian was even more confused.

"Yes!" Zhang Anping said firmly: "Not only can this intelligence group not be established, but the relevant personnel must be dispersed - leave this to me, I will find a way to disperse them to various district stations."

"why?"

"They are too close to each other, so it's easy for them to be wiped out at once. And according to organizational principles, they shouldn't know each other's identities!" Zhang Anping's tone was still firm:

"I guess that Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing both know the identities of the five comrades they want to recruit. If we set up an intelligence team with Zhang and Feng as the core, given that they are all members of the Telecommunications Department, they will sooner or later know each other's identities. This is not in line with organizational principles!"

Sister Qian nodded: "You have considered it very comprehensively."

"So I hope they will join Intelligence Group No. 2." Zhang Anping repeated his previous request.

"Anping, you have to know that they joined the organization through Zeng Jiayan, and they are not on the same line as us!"

"I know."

"You know you're still asking for this!" Sister Qian said dissatisfiedly, "Even I only have the power to make suggestions, but you're asking for so much."

Zhang Anping smiled apologetically: "Sister Qian, please communicate more with your superiors. I think they can play the greatest role in the No. 2 Intelligence Group!"

"Moreover," Zhang Anping used his trump card, "With them here, we can also serve as a firewall for the No. 2 Intelligence Team at a critical moment."

This sentence was indeed a killer move. After Zhang Anping finished speaking, Sister Qian fell into deep thought.

The core members of Intelligence Group No. 2 are: Zhang Anping, Zheng Yaoxian, Ming Lou, Gu Shenyan, and Lu Zongfang.

Each of them holds an extremely critical and important position.

If there is one more firewall...security will be greatly improved.

"Okay, I'll communicate with my superiors - but there is one thing you must remember, you must not have direct contact with them!" Sister Qian's tone became stern.

"Do not worry!"

"I'm worried!"

Sister Qian said angrily: "You promised everything every time, but what happened? Zheng Yaoxian recognized you! Minglou recognized you!"

"You think it's easy for members of Zhang Weilin's intelligence team to recognize each other's identities and violate the organization's principles. What about you? What about you?"

This is also what made Sister Qian angry.

Zhang Anping was worried that Zhang Weilin's intelligence team would encounter a terrible situation where some trouble arose, but what about the current No. 2 intelligence team?
Zhang Anping retorted inwardly:
Can it be the same?

He had been put to the test of torture, Lao Zheng had stood the test of time, but Minglou even dared to sacrifice his own life!
"I was wrong." Zhang Anping admitted his mistake sincerely.

"You admit your mistakes faster than anyone else, but you won't change!"

Zhang Anping had no choice but to smile.

Sister Qian was also helpless. This boy was just like that, and his ideas were more righteous than anyone else's - but considering the three words "Zhang Shihao", she did not continue to pester him. She just wanted to give him a warning to prevent him from getting cocky.

But his ability is unquestionable!

"It's settled. I'll talk to my superiors. Now find a way to train them."

"Yes!" "Put me down in front."

Zhang Anping said:
"And one more thing."

Sister Qian thought to herself: You’d better not try to do anything weird!

"what's up?"

Zhang Anping was unaware of the slander in Sister Qian's mind, and he said sternly, "Sister Qian, do you know why Comrade Zhang Weilin chose us?"

Sister Qian didn't understand why Zhang Anping asked this, but she still answered:
"I have investigated and found that he had a favorable impression of the New Fourth Army when he was serving in southern Anhui. After returning to Chongqing, he subscribed to the Xinhua Daily. After gradually learning about our situation, he chose to join us after careful consideration."

"Is it the same with Feng Chuanqing?"

"Correct."

"The same is true for the five comrades that Comrade Zhang Weilin intends to develop, right?"

Sister Qian vaguely realized Zhang Anping's purpose, and she nodded quickly: "Indeed."

"That is to say, these people have one thing in common! They have a considerable degree of education and have witnessed the huge gap between the national army and our party."

"They are passionate and have a heart that wants to change the country's weak state."

"But the cruel reality makes them despair of their current beliefs!"

"You think so?"

Sister Qian nodded without hesitation. This... is the common trait of Communists!
Zhang Anping smiled and said, "The Military Control Commission never lacks such people."

When Zhang joined the Military Control Commission to set up the Guanwang Temple training class, he set a rule, a rule that has not changed to this day and will never change in the future:
All members of the training class must have extremely high cultural literacy.

The students of Guanwangmiao training class start from college students per capita!
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Military Control Commission set up training classes everywhere, and this requirement was inevitably lowered, but the threshold was still kept at the high school level.

Because of the propaganda started by Zhang Anping, the reputation of the spy is better than in the original time and space, and naturally more attractive!
As the saying goes, "Reading makes you wise." Many of those who joined the Military Control Commission because of the national crisis might get used to the various bad habits of the Military Control Commission and eventually become spies, but there will definitely be a considerable number of them who will maintain their original intentions when the country is in danger and the nation is in peril!
Once they see the true face of the Kuomintang, it will become their instinct to find a new way to save the country!

Zhang Weilin’s intelligence team is just the beginning.

(The Military Control Commission had countless heroes during the Anti-Japanese War, but its performance was really poor during the War of Liberation - this was related to the internal power struggle, but also had a lot to do with the KMT being abandoned by the Chinese people!)
(For details, please refer to the Nanjing Military Talk Station. All calls to and from the "Presidential Palace", "Ministry of National Defense" and other key departments must be transferred through the "Military Talk Station" - and among the nine people here, there are seven predecessors of our party.)
……

After receiving the task from Sister Qian, Zhang Anping ran to the director's office the next day and handed a report to Boss Dai.

[Unprofessional spy members of the spy agency]

This is the name of the report, and the specific content is an investigation report on the civilian personnel of the Military Control Commission.

In this report, Zhang Anping listed several examples.

1. The radio stations of different columns in the occupied areas were actually connected to each other - Zhang Anping directly used Zhang Weilin as an example;

2. Civilian personnel have poor spy qualities and low vigilance - In this case, Zhang Anping directly sent his men to make friends with several civilian personnel. During the deliberate change of topic, he secretly obtained a lot of information. Zhang Anping personally analyzed the intelligence and found out a lot of top-secret intelligence within the Military Control Commission.

Boss Dai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

3. The internal staff’s vigilance is seriously insufficient - this one is very hurtful. Zhang Anping stated in the report that he deliberately sent a number of members from the bureau headquarters to operate near Zengjiayan, but has not received any feedback from the Zengjiayan surveillance point so far.

After reading it, Boss Dai’s face turned as black as coal.

“Tell me your solution!”

He knew that Zhang Anping would never speak without a purpose, and that since he could come up with this report, he must have a corresponding solution - this was also the reason why he liked his nephew so much, unlike other people who would only find fault.

Zhang Anping immediately said: "First, raise your salary!"

"Salary increase?" Boss Dai felt a pain in his wallet and said with a dark face, "Salary increase? Last year - no, it was the year before last. The year before last, the salary of an ordinary member was 12 yuan. The whole country implemented the national emergency salary, but we still paid full salary!"

“It went up to 30 yuan last year!”

"It went up again in January this year, all the way to 33 yuan!"

Zhang Anping spread his hands: "Do you know how prices rise? The reason I just listed for the radio operators to join together was to demand a pay raise. A salary of 30 yuan is not enough for them to live on! So several people joined together to demand a pay raise."

"It's their fault for collusion, but the salary is not enough to live a normal life, which is a big problem - Bureau Chief, those in our bureau headquarters who have some power have all kinds of ways to make money, so they naturally have no worries about food and clothing."

"But the people down there don't have any!"

"Now is a time of national crisis. It is right to ask them to share the hardships with the Kuomintang, but their basic survival must also be taken into consideration. I believe that the vast majority of people will reject the temptation of the enemy because of their patriotic feelings, but there is always a small group of people who cannot resist the temptation after being crushed by the pressure of life."

Boss Dai remained silent. He had lived a hard life and knew the despair of a man who could not even afford a penny.

After thinking for a while, he agreed with Zhang Anping's words:
"You're right! Keep going."

"Second, increase the training of civilian personnel. The training can be carried out in stages and batches, and the intensity of this training can be lighter. However, some key positions, such as radio operators and translators, require more rigorous training, and increase counter-espionage training - they are the enemy's key targets."

"In addition, we need to increase the intensity of scrutiny of these key positions."

After Zhang Anping made the second suggestion, Boss Dai's eyes lit up and he said decisively:
"Just do this as an example - set a standard for others to follow when they take over."

Zhang Anping hummed a few times and did not respond directly, and started to talk about the third point:

"Third, the personnel in the rear were not vigilant enough."

"The rear does not need to be on edge like the front. After a while, they will inevitably become lax. This is the direct reason why the Zengjiayan monitoring point failed to detect the activities of the bureau's personnel in Zengjiayan."

"Even people like me are becoming more and more lax, let alone others - so I suggest implementing a rotation system, and we must frequently call back personnel from the front to serve in the rear for a period of time."

"If the person in charge at Zengjiayan monitoring point had been on the front line, this situation would never have happened!"

Boss Dai couldn't help but nod, thinking that his nephew was right.

Then, he laughed: "You mean you have lost your vigilance now? You are so capable that you even start beating around the bush when talking to me!"

Zhang Anping raised his head "proudly", as if saying, "You decide."

"How about this, you set up the framework of the training system, and then you can go back to Shanghai after you are done."

"Yes!"

Zhang Anping responded loudly.

"By the way, please deal with the matter of the tangle you mentioned - Dong Yisan is too gentle in his actions. It's such a serious violation of the tangle, can you just transfer the person back? Nonsense!"

Boss Dai gave instructions.

Everything turned out just as Zhang Anping had expected - the matter was indeed handed over to him.

"One more thing. Since you mentioned the rotation system, I need to ask you for someone."

Zhang Anping immediately became alert: "The Shanghai area is seriously short of people now!"

"Stop talking nonsense! After the merger of the three districts, the upper echelons of the Shanghai district are too powerful! I want to transfer Lu Zongfang back."

Zhang Anping said reluctantly: "Old Lu works hard without complaint, why don't we transfer Old Wu back?"

"Don't be ungrateful, kid. It's because Wu Jingzhong doesn't get along with you that I won't transfer him back - figure out the reason yourself!"

"It's just a political trick." Zhang Anping muttered nonchalantly.

"You kid, don't be so ungrateful. If I had someone to teach me how to do this, how much more trouble would I have avoided?"

Boss Dai was angry. I have taught you this, but you are still not happy? Don't you care?
"I have a rough idea of ​​the Yunnan-Burma Road detachment you mentioned. Is it okay for you to provide some manpower?"

Zhang Anping almost jumped up as if his flesh was being cut:
"Why?!"

"Just because you are good at fighting in the Shanghai region and have the most experience fighting against enemies in the Shanghai region, that's enough, right? Don't think I want to cut your power - I'm doing this for your own good! Liu Xinjie or that Li Xingyu, it's up to you to decide!"

"You rascal, you say you have ambitions, but you don't even know how to form cliques outside of Shanghai. Look at Mao Renfeng, and then look at you!"

"You say you have no ambitions, but the Shanghai District is your exclusive territory, but you can give up the honor, status, and merits at will. Anping, if you want to do something, power is the first priority, but necessary support is also necessary!"

"Think carefully about what I said. Once you understand, I will be relieved!"

"Okay, get out of here right now. I get angry just by seeing you. Do I need to teach you these things step by step?!"

After Boss Dai finished speaking, he began to drive people away with disgust. After driving Zhang Anping away, he started laughing again.

My nephew is 22 years old this year. No matter how great he performs, he is still at an age where he believes in ideals.

He never thought about rights!
Then look at Mao Renfeng, who was singled out by him to fight against Zheng Yaoquan. Haha, he was jumping up and down like a monkey - my Anping didn't even jump around to form cliques, but you are jumping around everywhere relying on your power to preside over the affairs of the bureau headquarters?

Oh, now you’re trying to win over my nephew?

I let you jump!

Boss Dai's eyes gradually turned cold. He was going to deliberately push Zhang Anping's alias Zhang Xiao out to compete with Mao Renfeng - this was also a training for his nephew. In the past on the front line, the struggle for power was actually simpler. As long as he could achieve continuous victories, it would be enough. Now, letting his nephew compete with the restless Mao Renfeng, no matter winning or losing, it would be a training for his nephew.

Boss Dai whispered softly:
"Brat, I'm really counting on you to take over my job!"
