Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 383 Commander's Advanced Cultivation
The "exchange" plan is actually not complicated.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the opponent see through the calculations on this side, let the opponent stand in the perspective of God, and give him a chance to add sand.

The whole plan went smoothly and achieved what Xu Tian expected:

Make your opponent think he has everything under control.

To put it bluntly, it is like standing on the moon and watching your opponent think that they are standing outside the atmosphere.

However, the most critical final step of the exchange plan has not been carried out.

This is also the reason why Zhang Anping quietly approached Gu Shenyan in the dead of night.

Gu Shenyan was extremely alert. As soon as Zhang Anping sneaked in, Gu Shenyan became alert and took out the gun from under the pillow and turned on the light in one go.

It was not until he saw Zhang Anping that his guard slowly dissipated:

"District Chief, you're here. You're so elusive, you're really frightening me!"

Zhang Anping praised calmly, "You are quite alert."

Gu Shenyan was surprised and suspicious, not knowing whether Zhang Anping was making a double entendre or simply complimenting him. He got out of bed in his pajamas and used the excuse of moving a chair and pouring water to hide his suspicion. He bent over and asked:
"District Chief, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Anping sat down and asked, "What's going on with the 'Dui Zi' plan? I remember you completed the layout years ago."

Matsumuro Yoshitaka asked Gu Shenyan to develop spies among the arrested members of Lin Nansheng's intelligence team. Gu Shenyan had already developed three layers of spies among them - two groups of spies were used as cover.

Years ago, all of these had been completed, but the final step of the exchange plan was never carried out.

"Matsumuro Yoshitaka may have other plans."

Gu Shenyan said uncertainly: "I suspect he wants to trick Tsukamoto Seiji."

The Matsumuro Organization is headed by Matsumuro Yoshitaka, but Tsukamoto has been dissatisfied with him since the beginning, and even dragged Okamoto Heiji into the organization to fight against Matsumuro Yoshitaka.

As a result, the power within the Matsumuro agency became a three-way balance of power.

For Matsumuro Yoshitaka, Okamoto Heiji, who wants to whitewash himself and put on an official vest, is not a threat, but Tsukamoto, who has the credit of assassinating Zhang Shihao and has always been his enemy, is a threat!
Zhang Anping immediately understood Matsumuro Yoshitaka's plan and asked with a smile, "That means that the power has been reorganized within the Matsumuro organization during this period?"

Gu Shenyan gave a thumbs up: "Chief District is wise!"

After instinctively praising him, he explained, "Matsumuro Yoshitaka led this power reorganization and expanded the power of the Special High Section on the surface, but in fact he secretly transferred the control of Longhua Prison to the Special High Section the day before yesterday."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should meet Bai Buhui again in the next few days."

“The arrested brothers will also be transferred there at that time.”

Longhua Prison was the army prison before the fall of Shanghai. It was destroyed during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and rebuilt after the Japanese occupied Shanghai. Its control has always been in the hands of the secret service - it held anti-Japanese patriots captured by No. 76 and the Special High Section.

In these few days?

Zhang Anping frowned: "It's too late."

"Hmm?" Gu Shenyan was puzzled: "District Chief, it shouldn't be a few days away, right?"

The key reason why the exchange plan has not been able to complete the last step is that the Japanese are still detaining people in Longhua Prison - and for the Shanghai District, attacking Longhua Prison is an impossible task.

So the only chance was for the Japanese to rescue them while they were being escorted.

As for prisoner exchange?

impossible!
The exchange of prisoners was not an intention from the beginning in the exchange plan.

Zhang Anping did not answer, but asked: "Are all the people still detained in Longhua?"

"Ah."

Zhang Anping stood up and walked back and forth. The plan of exchanging pieces was designed to target Matsumuro Yoshitaka's complacent mentality after his great victory.

If Kenji Doihara had not decided to come to Shanghai, everything could have gone according to plan.

After all, Matsumuro Yoshitaka has done so much and it is impossible for him to give up halfway.

But now, the bastard Kenji Doihara is here!

This is the leader of the third generation of Japanese spies. Compared to Matsumuro Yoshitaka, this man has more experience and a sharper sense of smell!
If he intervenes, will he find out?
Zhang Anping didn't dare to gamble with his brothers' lives - he was the one who "destroyed" Lin Nansheng's intelligence team, and he had to bring the people back intact, otherwise he would feel guilty.

"Longhua Prison is now under the control of the Special High Section, right?"

"Yes, a few days ago, a detachment of the Military Police Headquarters has entered Longhua." Gu Shenyan was afraid that Zhang Anping would say that we should take down Longhua Prison - the prison environment is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how could it be that easy!
Zhang Anping's eyes narrowed:
"Then let... Tsukamoto bring the person out!"

"Bring it out?"

Gu Shenyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Chief District Officer, are you leaking secrets from me?"

"No need." Zhang Anping waved his hand and did not go into the topic further. Instead, he changed the subject:
"I have received a secret report that Kenji Doihara will arrive in Shanghai soon. During this time, you must protect yourself."

Kenji Doihara?
Gu Shenyan was awed, and instantly understood why Zhang Anping was in such a hurry to do this, and also understood why the news of the Japanese spies rushing to help had spread so easily in the past few days.

"District Chief, the day after tomorrow..."

Zhang Anping confirmed without hesitation: "There must be an ambush."

"The district chief is wise."

Zhang Anping glared at Gu Shenyan unhappily and said, "You're the only one who knows how to flatter, right?"

You can take pictures!

"I go first."

Zhang Anping left Gu Shenyan like a ghost. After carefully closing the door, Gu Shenyan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Zhang Anping, the pressure was really... too great!

……

There is not much time left for the Duizi plan.

If we assume a loose estimate, it would probably be the day after Kenji Doihara arrived in Shanghai. He arrived in Shanghai and lived in the Doihara Mansion prepared for him by Yoshitaka Matsumuro. On the first day, he might not ask about the various matters of the Matsumuro agency, but after the next day, Yoshitaka Matsumuro had to report to Doihara for both moral and legal reasons.

But Zhang Anping believed that the best time to conclude the plan was when Doihara arrived. This would give the opponent the illusion that we were doing it with ease, and at the same time, the opponent could understand that:
This not only showed that Doihara's secret plan had been seen through, but was also a warning to him.

Instead of making the opponent think that we were forced to launch the attack early because of Doihara's arrival.

Zhang Anping just said to Gu Shenyan, "Then let Tsukamoto bring the people out" - he was not bragging when he said this. As a commander, mobilizing the enemy is basic operation.

……

The next day.

Several agents from No. 76 discovered suspicious persons during their patrol. When they stopped the persons for questioning, the suspicious persons suddenly pulled out weapons and killed two people on the spot.

Fortunately, there was a group of fake patrol police nearby to provide support, so that not all the spies were killed.

After the fake patrol police and the secret agents joined forces, the suspicious elements had to retreat. Naturally, the fake patrol police and the secret agents at this time would not let the fish that had taken the hook escape. They chased them relentlessly and sent people to call for support.

When the puppet police and the secret agent were about to force the suspicious element into a dead end and were thinking about capturing him alive, four or five tough guys suddenly came out from behind them - the secret agent was holding a pistol, the puppet police was holding an old pistol, but these guys were holding machine guns.

The fake police and spies who thought they were going to make meritorious deeds were beaten so hard that they cried for their parents. After several people died, they broke into a house and got in.

After meeting up with their companions, these anti-Japanese elements did not continue to fight and decisively chose to evacuate.

Not long after they evacuated, reinforcements from Unit 76 arrived.

After listening to the report from the spy who was beaten and screaming for his parents, the spy in charge immediately realized that there must be a hideout of resistance elements nearby, otherwise it would not have been possible for reinforcements to arrive so quickly - the resistance elements are not fools, how could they walk around the world with machine guns?

More agents were called in, and they conducted a house-to-house search around the exchange area. As expected, they found a house that was extremely suspicious. They broke into the house and found no one in the backyard. After a careful search, they discovered a secret room.

The spies, who had suffered countless hardships, had long learned their lesson. Before entering the secret room, they called in bomb disposal experts, who indeed discovered that there were booby traps hidden in the secret room.

After eliminating the booby traps, it was naturally time for harvest - they found some intelligence information in the secret room, as well as more than 20 machine guns and a large number of bullets and grenades.

The agents of No. 76 screened the intelligence materials they found, and some investigative materials caught their attention. After identification, they found out that these investigative materials were investigations into the environment around the nearby Longhua Prison. Among the intelligence found, the agents of No. 76 unraveled the mystery and discovered a huge secret.

That evening, the collected information appeared on the desk of Tsukamoto Kiyoshi of the Special High Section. The reporter was Li Lixing.

"Section Chief Tsukamoto, we made a guess based on the intelligence we found," Li Lixing said.
"We suspect that the resistance elements are planning to ambush outside Longhua Prison. They have been preparing for this for at least half a month and have not given up their plan to attack Longhua Prison so far."

"Ambush?" Tsukamoto Kiyoshi stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "So, there are people in Longhua Prison that they must rescue?"

Tsukamoto realized that he might have gotten a great bargain.

Li Lixing looked at the slightly excited Tsukamoto and thought: This Japanese guy is really... very stupid and naive!
"Section Chief, I think there's something fishy going on here!"

Li Lixing had no intention of interfering in the dog-eat-dog fight among the Japanese, but now he had to!
The reason was simple. He found his position precarious. Gu Shenyan's arrival was warmly welcomed by Matsumuro Yoshitaka, and Gu Shenyan had been going in and out of the Matsumuro agency as if he was at home during this period. So far, there was no sign of him reporting to No. 76.

This means that Gu Shenyan is more trusted by Matsumuro Yoshitaka!

In addition to Gu Shenyan, there was also a man named Ding Mocun - he, Li Lixing, was just a subordinate of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but Ding Mocun was the director of the Third Department at the same level as the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

These two people are a great threat to him, but they are both people that Matsumuro Yoshitaka values. If Li Lixing wants to continue to maintain his power, he must make a choice:
Continue to lick Matsumuro Yoshitaka?
Or hug Tsukamoto tightly?

Matsumuro Yoshitaka's importance has declined, and Tsukamoto has formed an alliance with Okamoto Heiji - in this situation, Li Lixing can only choose Tsukamoto.

This is also the reason why Li Lixing went directly to Tsukamoto after realizing that something was wrong.

Because Li Lixing discovered Tsukamoto's crisis!
Tsukamoto was unaware of this, and when he saw that Li Lixing had a different opinion, he asked:

"Hmm? Did Li-san discover something else?"

"Section Chief, please take a look at this intelligence..." Li Lixing would not directly tell the crisis he discovered about Tsukamoto, but took a guiding approach. He took out a piece of intelligence separately:

"This intelligence shows that this group has been hiding here since four months ago."

Four months ago?

"After Lin Nansheng's intelligence team was wiped out? Hiss - their target is Lin Nansheng's intelligence team?"

After Tsukamoto finished speaking, he denied it: "No! No! Why do they think they can rescue people from Longhua Prison!"

"Section Chief, this is the strange part. They didn't plan to attack Longhua Prison, but they planned to kidnap people halfway."

Tsukamoto stood up and paced back and forth. Yes, this was too strange.

Tsukamoto said to himself, "Unless they have another source of information, we can be sure that we will transfer the people."

"That's not right! Previously, the prison was under the jurisdiction of the head of the agency, and there was no thought of transferring them for several months - now it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Special High Section, and there is no possibility of transferring them without my order!"

"So they are doing useless work?"

"Still not right!"

"There are six people hiding in this hideout, and more than 20 machine guns have been prepared. They have also made careful preparations. This is definitely not a preparation made without clear intelligence!"

Tsukamoto thought about it but couldn't find the answer, so he asked, "Mr. Li, where do you think the problem lies?"

Damn it, when he is needed, it is Li Jun, when he is useful, it is Li Sang, when he is knocking, it is Director Li - damn it...

Li Lixing whispered, "Section Chief, I have heard two pieces of news."

"Two pieces of news? Mr. Li, please don't hide them."

"Gu Shenyan! Three months ago, Gu Shenyan frequently went in and out of Longhua Prison, and sometimes even stayed overnight there."

Li Lixing looked at Tsukamoto's face. Seeing that he didn't change color, Li Lixing cursed inwardly for not having any vigilance at all, and then continued:

"Another piece of news is——"

He paused, then slowly said, "I heard that a few months ago, someone claiming to be a secret envoy of the Military Control Commission secretly met with the head of the Matsumuro Agency."

Tsukamoto frowned:

"Mr. Li! What on earth do you want to say?!"

You...with your level of alertness, how can you fight with Matsumuro Yoshitaka!
Li Lixing began to doubt his stance, but when he thought of Okamoto Heiji who was allied with Tsukamoto, he reaffirmed his stance - even if Tsukamoto is a little stupid in political struggles, doesn't this mean that he needs me, Li?

"Section Chief, I heard a rumor that the Military Control Commission intends to exchange prisoners with the head of the agency."

"Prisoner exchange?"

Tsukamoto suddenly "understood": "The Military Control Commission sent a secret envoy to secretly meet with Matsumuro Yoshitaka in order to exchange prisoners? This makes sense!"

"But this is like setting an ambush... huh? They didn't even think about exchanging prisoners, they just wanted to transfer people out of Longhua Prison?"

This time, Tsukamoto really understood and cursed: "Chinese people really don't keep their word!"

"Fortunately, Matsumuro Yoshitaka didn't fall for it, so they didn't succeed!"

"Now that Longhua Prison is under my management, there is no way I will let them succeed!"

At this moment, Tsukamoto actually felt a little proud.

Li Lixing was speechless.

"Section Chief, have you forgotten Gu Shenyan?"

"Do you envy him?" Tsukamoto asked back.

Li Lixing was furious and secretly cursed Tsukamoto for being a pig-brained person!

Just because Matsumuro Yoshitaka gives you a sweet date, are you so stupid that you can't see the trap?

He reminded: "Gu Shenyan was in and out of Longhua Prison before, he must have been secretly inciting rebellion."

"It's all in vain!"

"Section Chief, what if... the head of the agency has intentions? Maybe the head of the agency has discovered the conspiracy of the Military Control Commission, so he has not allowed the Military Control Commission to fulfill its wish."

Li Lixing said: "But now, Longhua Prison is under your jurisdiction!"

Tsukamoto was not stupid. The reason why he had not reacted was that he believed that at a time when the headquarters was sending people to Shanghai, the three localists should defend their power closely - this was what Matsumuro Yoshitaka told him, and in order to show his sincerity, Matsumuro Yoshitaka also strengthened Tsukamoto's power.

After Li Lixing reminded him several times, he finally understood Matsumuro Yoshitaka's plan:

Use the increased power to confuse Tsukamoto, and then find an opportunity to have him escort the Military Control Commission members out of Longhua Prison - this will naturally trigger an ambush by the Military Control Commission.

He lost an important prisoner. If Matsumuro Yoshitaka took advantage of this incident to make a fuss, he would be in trouble and even lose his position as the head of the Special High Police.

However, Matsumuro Yoshitaka had an accomplice among these members of the Military Control Commission. Their escape actually achieved Matsumuro Yoshitaka's goal!
It really kills two birds with one stone!

After thinking this through, Tsukamoto was extremely ashamed and angry. He said, "You are so mean, Matsumuro Yoshitaka. I treat you as my teammate, but you actually want to sacrifice me to the gods?!"
"Mr. Li," Tsukamoto was embarrassed and annoyed, but he also realized Li Lixing's sincerity. He said with emotion: "As the saying goes, a journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart! If Mr. Li hadn't pointed it out this time, I would have been tricked!"

"Mr. Li, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! I will never forget this friendship!"

Li Lixing quickly said, "You are too polite, Section Chief. I, Li Lixing, and the Section Chief are in the same boat. Without the Section Chief's protection, how can I be safe?"

"Mr. Li, how do you think we can break the impasse?"

"Section Chief, there is an old Chinese saying that goes 'the first to strike is the strongest, the last to strike will suffer!'" Li·Dog-Head Military Advisor·Li Xing said solemnly, "You can think about it."

The first to strike is the strongest and the last to strike will suffer?

Seiji Tsukamoto began to think, and gradually his eyes lit up.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka, if you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
　In my defense, I had finished writing the second half of this chapter last night - according to the outline, Jiang Sian was to intervene and tell Tsukamoto Seiji that "we were all tricked by Matsumuro Yoshitaka". But after I finished writing it, I felt that it was unreasonable because it would increase the risk for Jiang Sian.

　　So it was changed to Xu Tian making suggestions.

　　After finishing writing it, I felt that it was not reasonable. Xu Tian was undercover in the Special High Section, and the risk of being exposed was too high, so I started over again.

　　Finally, it was decided to use Li Lixing as the medium. After writing it, it was generally reasonable, but there was still a small problem, which was... Li Lixing's IQ was a little too high to do so.

　　But I have the patch ready.
