Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 381 Zhang Anping’s Way of Doing Things (Part )

Zhang Anping's talent for political struggle was forced to max out - in the system space, he was bullied for a long time by a group of highly intelligent NPCs, and was forced to max out.

Therefore, when he went to Boss Dai to submit the report, every word and action he took was full of calculations, tests, and plans.

The results were consistent with his predictions, and all goals were "passed".

What surprised him even more was Boss Dai's final "instructions", which also made Zhang Anping sensitively aware of one thing:

Old Dai really intended to train himself as the "crown prince".

He was originally uncertain about this matter, so he deliberately used the identity of Zhang Xiao to get close to Mao Renfeng - this fits the situation where a sent prince and a top official of the court support each other.

But Boss Dai did not let him go. Instead, he deliberately made him compete with Mao Renfeng.

"Are you afraid that I will be fooled by the old fox, so you want me to fight and practice with him as soon as possible?"

Zhang Anping had complicated thoughts in his mind. This matter...

Of course, it is also possible that Mao Renfeng was dancing too happily, and Lao Dai intended to use his hand to press Mao Renfeng down.

But encouraging and pushing him to develop his power outside the Shanghai area, no one would believe me if I said I had no intention of cultivating his power, right?
After coming out of the building, Zhang Anping took a long breath and said quietly in his heart:
Let’s talk about what happens next!

Is it necessary to fight with Mao Renfeng?
Speak of the devil, and he appeared. He just muttered the name Mao Renfeng in his heart. The next second, a familiar voice appeared with laughter:

"Hey, brother Zhang Xiao, I was just looking for you!"

Zhang Anping put on a friendly fake smile: "Director Mao."

The person who came was Mao Renfeng. When Mao Renfeng saw that Zhang Anping's smile was so fake, he smiled even more fakely: "Brother, you are being distant again! Call me brother, call me brother!"

"Director Mao, I have something I want to discuss with you - shall we go to your office?" Zhang Anping's smile was so fake that Mao Renfeng could see through the insincerity at a glance.

Mao Renfeng secretly wondered, Zhang Xiao was a cunning guy, so why did he suddenly put on such a fake smile?

He pretended to be careless and said:

"Let's go to your office!"

Because Zhang Anping was temporarily in charge of the propaganda work after the Wang faction's defection, he also had an office at the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.

"Row!"

As they were walking towards the side building, Mao Renfeng asked with concern, "Brother Zhang Xiao, where is Guangbei? Brother Guangbei promised to have a drink with me, how come we haven't seen each other for a long time?"

When Zhang Anping, disguised as Zhang Guangbei, came to the bureau headquarters to report, he met Mao Renfeng and later had a few drinks with him - Mao Renfeng's purpose in being humble was naturally to win over Zhang Guangbei.

Zhang Anping, who was wearing a vest, was the type who took all the sugar coating and threw back all the shells. Under the vest of Zhang Guangbei, he got a lot of benefits from Mao Renfeng.

He's just a small major who's not from the bureau headquarters, but he took benefits from the colonel director of the bureau headquarters. Isn't it obvious that he has sided with him?
At this moment, he sold out Zhang Guangbei without hesitation - this was also a deliberate test on his part to see if Zhang Xiao in front of him would turn against him because of Zhang Guangbei.

Zhang Anping secretly sighed at Mao Renfeng's quick reaction. No wonder even Zheng Yaoquan, a senior veteran, couldn't compete with him in the future.

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "Director Mao, we'll talk about Guangbei later. I just met with the bureau chief, who gave me a task - to train the civilian and logistics staff of the bureau headquarters in special agent skills. Director Mao is currently in charge of the daily affairs of the bureau headquarters, so I'll need your help on this matter."

After hearing this, Mao Renfeng was angry at first that he was fooled by Zhang Xiao, an outsider - I treated you as a brother, but you want to take root in the bureau headquarters?

This is like stabbing yourself!
There are no good people in the treacherous Shanghai area!
But Zhang Anping's smiling expression made him calm down quickly.

Being a cautious person, he immediately realized the problem - Zhang Xiao was the deputy mayor of Shanghai District and was temporarily working in the bureau headquarters, so why did he suddenly reach out to his own plate?
Boss Dai?

He shuddered and realized another possibility:
My close contacts with people from outside district stations caused dissatisfaction among Boss Dai. He was deliberately trying to criticize me!
After he figured it out, he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he was really too proud of himself!

The reason he was able to gain a foothold in the Military Control Commission and become the chief steward of the bureau headquarters was because of Boss Dai and his origin from Jiangshan County!

Isn't it a threat to Boss Dai to have such close contact with the station chiefs in other districts?
No wonder this guy deliberately called me "Director Mao" and smiled with a dagger in his eye!

"Brother Zhang Xiao, I am grateful for your kindness! Just go ahead and do it. Just let me know if you need anything. I will definitely cooperate with you without any compromise!"

"do your stuff!"

After saying that, Mao Renfeng left in a hurry.

Zhang Anping shrugged nonchalantly. Look, how quickly Mao Renfeng reacted!

Old Dai wanted to see himself and Mao Renfeng fighting each other, but there was no hope.

……

Mao Renfeng's subsequent actions fully demonstrated the role of a qualified butler.

He gave Zhang Anping whatever he wanted. Making things difficult for him? That didn't exist!

Seeing that his nephew had built the training framework in just a few days and submitted the first batch of training names, Boss Dai waved his hand and agreed to start the training after the Chinese New Year. At the same time, he complained to Zhang Anping:
"Mao Renfeng has a heart of a bodhisattva, but he is not a real man, so he cannot achieve great things."

The reason why he complained like this was because he did not see Mao Renfeng and Zhang Anping fighting, and Mao Renfeng, like a frightened quail, actually started to ask him for instructions on everything - now he has to ask him for instructions on trivial matters, so what's the point of having Mao Renfeng, the director of the bureau's headquarters affairs?

In the spy business, being described as having a heart of a bodhisattva is considered banishment to the cold palace.

Hearing this complaint, Zhang Anping almost laughed out loud.

Mao Renfeng has a kind heart? Can he not achieve great things?

Do you believe it?
But Zhang Anping immediately became alert again - despite such an evaluation, Mao Renfeng was able to continue to be his director, and even kicked out Zheng Yaoquan to take sole charge of the Military Control Commission after Old Dai's death. This was simply a case of the dog biting without barking!
But he didn't expose it.

Mao Renfeng cannot fall.

He will need Mao Renfeng as a shield in the future.

With what he is doing now, once the several aliases are combined into one, and with the help of Zhang Anping's methods, it will be very easy for him to smoothly take over from Old Dai.

But will it be beneficial to our party if he becomes the head of the Secret Service in the future?

Have!
But the disadvantages definitely outweigh the advantages. In fact, if there are no restrictions, it will be difficult for him to operate.

It is better to leave a restraint. No matter whether he can become the director or not, he will be a powerful force in the Military Control Commission. He can use political struggle as an excuse to hinder, dig up retreat routes, stab in the back...all these tricks will surely reduce the combat effectiveness of the Bureau of Secrets to negative numbers.

If there were another round of changes of leadership three times in three years, the Bureau of Secrets during the War of Liberation would basically be... ruined!
Therefore, Mao Renfeng must be kept!

Boss Dai naturally didn't know Zhang Anping's plan. After sending Zhang Anping away, he laughed and said to himself:
"With such a ricochet, I thought I could wear down Anping - well, since you become a quail at the slightest disturbance, then I will be your deputy!"

Boss Dai is 42 years old this year. Fifty is the upper limit he has set for himself. After he turns 50, he must jump out of the pit of Military Control Commission. Letting Zhang Anping take over his job is the best way to ensure that his position is not lost on him.

……

Regarding the skills training for civilian agents, Zhang Anping planned to limit it to three sessions, each session lasting one month, and three sessions of full-time training within a year would be considered completed. After the first list of candidates passed the review of Boss Dai, he did not rush to start the training immediately.

It’s the New Year!

The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. The world is big, and the New Year is the biggest.

January 1939, 2, New Year's Eve.

Zhang Anping went home quietly to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Wang Qiulian, who was completely unaware of her son's injury, naturally couldn't help but nag about it again.

Zhang Anping continued to play ostrich.

Late at night, on special days, he looked towards the east and whispered:
"Mo Yi, are you okay?"

The Chinese nation has attached importance to this special day for countless years, but because of the Japanese invasion, countless families had to face the sorrow of separation.

The atmosphere of the New Year during the war was very weak. Three days passed in a flash, and on the fourth day of the New Year, all employees in all departments continued to go to work.

The Civilian Agent Skills Retraining Class, for which Zhang Anping had built the framework, officially opened the next day.

The first batch of 54 trainees, including Zhang Weilin, started the first one-month agent skills training.

Zhang Anping did not participate in the teaching, but was more focused on fixing the teaching model of retraining in practice to facilitate his successors.

At the beginning of the training, he deliberately "picked out" Zhang Weilin and others who had been jointly involved in several radio stations, and used them as negative examples to illustrate the unqualifiedness of these civilian personnel. He also used Zhang Weilin and others as chickens to scare the monkeys and gave them special care.

Zhang Weilin and others who had changed their identities began their special training "unnoticed".

During this period, another incident occurred within the Military Control Commission:

Stinging bark!

The captain finally gave up his fantasy about Wang and decided to solve this big trouble by drastic measures.

This drastic measure is naturally assassination.

The one who executed this order was the Military Control Commission.

After receiving the news, Zhang Anping ran back to the bureau headquarters without stopping and applied to be responsible for assassinating Wang.

However, his initiative to ask for help was not approved by Boss Dai. Boss Dai patted Zhang Anping on the shoulder and ordered Wang Tianfeng to send Zhang Anping back to the training camp - he was not allowed to go out without permission.

Even though Zhang Anping swore and vowed that he was 100% sure of the assassination and would return safely, it did not change Boss Dai's mind.

Some people wanted to do it, but Boss Dai disagreed. Some people didn't want to do it, but had to take on the task anyway.

Chen Gongshu (Shu), the station chief of Tianjin Station, eventually became the leader of the Hanoi Action Group, responsible for the assassination activities.

Zhang Anping, who was trapped in the training camp, ordered Miao Fengxiang to take a message to the Hanoi action team, asking them to confirm the target before taking action no matter what, because there was only one chance and once missed, there would be no more chances.

Unfortunately, Miao Fengxiang didn’t even meet the Hanoi action team.

Trapped in the training camp, Zhang Anping could only pin his hopes on the illusory gods and Buddhas, praying that his butterfly wings could change time and space.

But the reality is cruel.

On March 3, the Hanoi action team sent news that on the night of the 21th, the action team launched an operation, but unexpectedly hit the secondary vehicle by mistake and killed Wang's secretary Zeng Zhongming, but Wang escaped.

Hearing the news from the bureau headquarters, Zhang Anping could only lament:
"Heaven has no eyes!"

On the 25th, the first batch of trainees returned to the training camp and completed their training. At the end of the training, Zhang Anping, on behalf of the Military Intelligence Bureau, punished Zhang Weilin and others who were recalled due to collusion a few years ago:
All personnel involved in the case had their ranks demoted by one level and were sent to the front lines.

An intelligence group that was about to be established was forcibly divided into seven parts by Zhang Anping. On this day, Zhang Weilin and others also received orders from their superiors:

Long dormant, waiting to be awakened.

The first phase returned to the training camp for completion, and the second phase was seamlessly connected, but the person in charge was not Zhang Anping, but Lu Zongfang who was transferred back from the Shanghai area.

Zhang Anping had completed his "mission", but he was still angry and went to Boss Dai and asked to return to Shanghai.

Boss Dai angrily revealed Zhang Anping's real purpose:
"You still want to continue the assassination!"

Zhang Anping snorted, "Shanghai is my one and a half acres of land!"

"As a general, remember not to raise troops out of anger!" After Boss Dai finished speaking earnestly, he threw a piece of information to Zhang Anping and motioned Zhang Anping to read it himself.

Zhang Anping opened it and looked at it carefully.

The intelligence was provided by the Shanghai District:
The Japanese military headquarters sent Colonel Kagesa Tadaaki, Congressman Inukai Ken and related personnel to form a rescue team and bring Japanese agents to Hanoi to rescue Wang.

"Anping, Mr. Wang's safety will definitely be taken over by the Japanese. The Shanghai area is notorious for its crimes, and the Japanese cannot fail to make preparations. If you return to Shanghai, do you have to fight Mr. Wang to the death?"

Boss Dai looked at Zhang Anping seriously, waiting for his nephew's answer.

He knew that Zhang Anping was very angry because he did not go to Chenghanoi.

But he didn't let his nephew go because he was reluctant to let his nephew take the risk!
Chen Gongshu is capable, but he almost couldn't get out of Hanoi. His nephew has no roots in Hanoi and hates Wang to the core. If he fails, no one will be able to help him!

He is somewhat worried about his nephew's condition now.

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and said, "Please rest assured, I will never raise an army out of anger!"

"We have already lost the best chance to assassinate. If we want to succeed next time, we need to wait patiently instead of acting as soon as we see the opportunity."

Seeing his nephew's serious answer, Boss Dai nodded slowly:

"I feel relieved when you do this."

"Go, go back to Shanghai."

"Jiaolong, it's time to enter the sea!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Anping put his legs together and answered loudly.

On March 1939, 3, Zhang Anping, who had stayed in Chongqing for nearly five months, finally obtained the approval of Boss Dai and left Chongqing for Shanghai.

It was on this day that Yu Zecheng was ordered to leave Shanghai with a small group and head to the Yunnan-Burma Road Detachment.

(The Chongqing part of the story ends.)
