Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 392 Doihara's Plan (Five Thousand Four)

Xu Baichuan and Zhang Anping have a special relationship.

Personally, they can be considered brothers who share life and death.

In public, Xu Baichuan was the mayor of Shanghai District, but he was willing to be under the command of Zhang Anping, the deputy mayor, and even obey his orders.

So, in this situation, Xu Baichuan would naturally be careless when he was with Zhang Anping on a daily basis - he felt that he had given his whole heart to his brother, so why should he care about some trivial details?

Therefore, when he saw Zhang Anping writing the plan, he just reached out and took it to read it without hesitation.

then……

Then cold sweat started to flow down Xu Baichuan's forehead.

The reason is very simple. Kong Er was "sent" to the United States by [Madam]. If she were to plot against her, wouldn't that be tantamount to disobeying [Madam's] orders?
Husband and wife are one body, and he never thought of disobeying his wife's orders. He was lucky enough not to be frightened when he was suddenly faced with Zhang Anping's audacious plan.

Zhang Anping saw this and said sinisterly:

"You saw something you shouldn't have seen. Now the only option is to kill you to silence you."

Frightened Xu Baichuan was in no mood to fool around with Zhang Anping. He swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice:
"You... do you really want to do this?"

He lowered his voice: "If it is found out, people will die!"

Zhang Anping looked at Xu Baichuan strangely: "Do I need you to tell me?"

Xu Baichuan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Brother, is your last name Jiang?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jiang Wei! His courage is as big as an egg!"

"Go away - just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"

"Bullshit!" Xu Baichuan lowered his voice: "It's like this, I pretended I didn't see it, do you believe it? I feel guilty!"

Zhang Anping frowned: "Are you going to stop me?"

"Stop it!" Xu Baichuan snorted, "We are brothers. How can you leave me alone in this matter?"

Zhang Anping looked at Xu Baichuan in surprise: "Old Xu, you?"

Xu Baichuan said unhappily, "Did I fail in Chongqing?"

At this point, Xu Baichuan's expression was a little distorted: "The bristle business is a money printing machine, but you hold it in your hands, and all the output is spent on the anti-Japanese war! What is the Kong family? You think it is profitable and want to seize it! Just because it is a royal family?"

"I, Xu Baichuan, didn't let him down when we were in Chongqing, and I won't let him down now! Lao Zhang, get her! Drain his family completely!"

At this moment, Xu Baichuan looked eager to try.

It is not difficult to understand why Xu Baichuan had such a reaction.

What supports Xu Baichuan as he wanders between life and death is not power, but the suffocating reality of national and ethnic crisis.

Although he was not a pure warrior, at this moment he was more focused on how to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

The Kong family's attempt to seize Zhang Anping's bristle business had already hurt the heart of this soldier.

This is also the reason why he had no choice but to go to Hong Kong to collect evidence when he was in Chongqing.

"Huh..." Zhang Anping pretended to be relieved: "I thought you were going to take me for the reward."

"Take your uncle's reward!" Xu Baichuan scolded Zhang Anping angrily, rubbing his hands and saying: "The Kong family's property is the people's blood and sweat, we are doing justice for the heavens!"

He had never thought about it in the past, but when Zhang Anping opened a door for him, he discovered... Oh shit, the world behind the door is so fucking beautiful!
Zhang Anping said: "Okay, let's forget about this matter for now. I'll let you know when there's a result!"

Xu Baichuan pressed on: "How do you want to spend the money then?"

"Half when we meet?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Baichuan said unhappily, "You can't just give this money to the Loyal Rescue Army. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, neither you nor I will have a good life!"

Zhang Anping had naturally already made plans. He said, "Let's go with the donation route when the time comes."

"That's fine."

The two of them tacitly stopped discussing this topic, but an idea came to Zhang Anping's mind:
Then let Old Xu keep an eye on this huge donation...

Zhang Anping knew too well the character of the Nationalist government. If the money was donated in the form of 100 million US dollars, at most half of it would be used to buy military aid, and at most half of this military aid could be used for the war of resistance - and this was under the premise that the officials were kind-hearted.

Since Old Xu hates evil so much, let him see more of the darkness, and then let Old Xu be in charge of the [Scam Team].

At this time, Old Xu did not realize that he was being plotted by Zhang Anping, and was reporting to Zhang Anping the intelligence he received tonight:
"I came here because of Zhang Xiaolin."

"He secretly met with Matsumuro Yoshitaka tonight. We don't know what they talked about at the time, but according to Yaoli's report, less than an hour after the two ended their meeting, Zhang Xiaolin received a truckload of arms from the Okamoto Company. In addition, Zhang Xiaolin revealed that he would announce his appointment as the chairman of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association tomorrow."

The New Asia Peace Promotion Association was founded by Zhang Xiaolin, but this old guy was cautious in his actions, and the members of this traitor association had nothing to do with him on the surface.

Xu Baichuan said: "I guess this old guy can't hold it back anymore and wants to go on stage to support the Japanese. Should we kill him through 'Yao Li'?"

Xu Baichuan said this in a tone of asking for instructions.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Anping stopped him.

To Zhang Anping, Zhang Xiaolin was meat on the chopping board. The "Yao Li" developed by Xu Baichuan and the "Pebbles" developed by him could easily take the old guy's life.

"The Japanese may have more tricks than this - take a look at these intelligence reports."

Zhang Anping took out several pieces of information related to intelligence and handed them to Xu Baichuan.

Xu Baichuan lowered his head and read it. After reading it, he said, "Alright! The Japanese are pretending to build a plank road but secretly attacking Chencang!"

These pieces of intelligence contained information about the Japanese secret meetings with some Green Gang leaders. According to the intelligence, the Japanese intended to form an organization called "Huangdaohui" within the Green Gang.

Xu Baichuan pondered, "So Zhang Xiaolin is just a discarded pawn of the Japanese?"

"It's not that they're abandoning a piece. They're probably trying to set up a target and take the opportunity to see how strong we are." After Zhang Anping finished speaking, he asked:

"How's it going over there at the Committee?"

Xu Baichuan, in the identity of Xu Wenju, and Zhan Zhenshan, "stirred up trouble" in the Green Gang. These "clients" he specially selected were mostly those with ambiguous attitudes. The Military Control Commission's offer of power in the name of the [Shanghai Anti-Japanese Unification Committee] aroused the interest of many people.

As a result, at the "critical moment", Zhan Zhenshan was exposed as a traitor and was killed. These Green Gang members who had excitedly boarded the ship naturally found themselves in a dilemma - they could still be fence-sitters in the past, but this time, they had to be either black or white.

"Only less than half of the people were willing to work with us, and the rest began to imitate Huang (Huang Jinrong) and pretend to be dead. Even among those who worked with us, I estimated that many had ulterior motives. I secretly discovered three people who were loyal to the Japanese."

Xu Baichuan was not disappointed with this situation, because the group he selected were fence-sitters, and there was no need for him to "bring" Zhan Zhenshan, the dead ghost, to visit the Green Gang patriots who were truly committed to resisting Japan.

This situation was better than Zhang Anping had predicted. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Mr. Wang is coming soon."

Xu Baichuan asked: "Fuck him?"

"There is a big pit next to Mr. Wang now. We can't step on it." Zhang Anping waved his hand and refused: "I mean that before he comes, we have to complete the cleanup of the Qing Gang."

If the Qing Gang is compared to a piece of land, then the people living on this land are the Qing Gang members. However, these people do not have a recognized leader, but rather individuals form groups - there are countless such groups across the entire land.

The cleanup that Zhang Anping mentioned naturally did not mean the elimination of individual groups. His cleanup was to kill the leaders of these pro-Japanese groups.

The Qing Gang is essentially a gang. When the leader of a group dies, the group is bound to split.

The purpose of the cleanup was to split the pro-Japanese groups into more small groups. The more small groups there were, the more difficult it would be for the Japanese to recruit them - for example, for a group of 100 people, the Japanese only needed to connect with one person to achieve the goal of recruiting 80 people.

But if this group splits into ten small groups of ten people, even if the Japanese contact ten people, they will not be able to achieve the goal of recruiting eighty people.

And the more people there are, the harder it is to reconcile.

Another point is influence. The influence of the leader of a group of 100 people is completely different from that of the leader of a group of 10 people!

Mr. Wang is about to arrive in Shanghai. The sooner these weak links are dealt with, the less help the Green Gang will be able to provide to him.

This was the strategy that Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan had already decided on. When Xu Baichuan heard Zhang Anping say that he wanted to clean up, he said with a drooling face:

"Lao Zhang, can you make us a big one? Can we take it all together?"

In the past two years, many traitor groups have emerged in Shanghai.

But they are all gone!

"If a move is used too many times, it will become a flaw." Zhang Anping said helplessly: "Do you believe that the Japanese are waiting for us to whet our appetite now?"

Looking at Zhang Anping's previous plans, they were all aimed at wiping out all the traitor groups - no matter whether it was the earliest Da Dao government or the later Reform Government, or some traitor organizations, Zhang Anping would wait for them to gather together and then wipe them out at once.

This is a very convenient way of doing things, and it also has a strong deterrent effect on traitors!
But the disadvantages are obvious. Once used by the enemy, it will be like asking for trouble.

In this game, Zhang Anping does not intend to give the Japanese a chance to plot against him - the less he does, the safer he will be next!
Xu Baichuan understood immediately: "I understand. As for the Qing Gang, I will use the power of the Qing Gang as much as possible!"

"Ah."

Zhang Anping nodded.

Another reason he did this was to hide his strength - Wang's surrender meant that the outbreak of the Pacific War was getting closer. When the concession was completely occupied by the Japanese, the entire Shanghai would be taken over by the Japanese!
By then, Shanghai will be completely enveloped in darkness, and it will be more difficult for new forces to infiltrate! Now it is addition, and in the future it will inevitably be subtraction.

The best way to deal with subtraction is to have a stronger foundation, so cherish every bit of strength in your hands now!
……

Zhang Xiaolin's appointment as chairman of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association caused a sensation in Shanghai and throughout China.

Newspapers in the Japanese-occupied areas shamelessly called this event "a meaningful step in the New Asian peace process";
Newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled areas pointed at Zhang Xiaolin's nose and cursed him;

However, foreign newspapers in the concessions expressed pessimism:

Du Yuesheng fled to Hong Kong, Huang Jinrong was dying, and Zhang Xiaolin clearly supported the Japanese, which meant that the entire Green Gang fell into the arms of the Japanese.

In general, Zhang Xiaolin's sudden surrender to Japan made the haze caused by Wang's defection even more intense.

At this time, Zhang Xiaolin shamelessly declared in the newspaper:

We look forward to Mr. Wang’s visit to Shanghai to discuss New Asian peace.

After openly licking the Japanese in the newspapers, Zhang Xiaolin also tore off his past mask and began to blatantly raise funds and purchase various strategic materials for the Japanese.

With Zhang Xiaolin's personal involvement, large quantities of coal, oil, cotton, medicine and other supplies were delivered to the Japanese in just a few days.

……

chongqing.

Military Command Headquarters.

After Boss Dai received the news that Zhang Xiaolin had openly surrendered to Japan, he immediately reported it to the attendant room.

The attendant room immediately instructed the military command:
Sanction Zhang Xiaolin!
This instruction was sent to the Shanghai District as soon as possible. In the telegram, Boss Dai used words such as "as soon as possible" and "definitely", and at the same time asked the Shanghai District to find a way to take Huang Jinrong away from Shanghai.

The influence of the three tycoons on the Green Gang was too great. Zhang Xiaolin's open surrender to Japan was already shocking. If Huang Jinrong surrendered to Japan again, the impact would be...

You should know that during the "trust and exchange storm" in 21, a securities and commodities exchange called "Hengtaihao" went bankrupt. One of the shareholders owed a lot of debts. After being chased by debt collectors and having nowhere else to go, he had to worship Huang Jinrong as his master.

Well, the unlucky guy who was almost driven to death by debt collectors was called Jiang (Jiang) Zhiqing.

……

Doihara Mansion.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka came over with a piece of information and handed it to Doihara respectfully:

"This is the intelligence sent by 'Mole' from Chongqing. Please take a look."

"Mole" was a spy planted by Matsumuro Yoshitaka in the Military Control Commission. In August last year, it was "Mole" who reported Dai Chunfeng's whereabouts to Matsumuro Yoshitaka.

After the August 13th Group failed to capture Dai Chunfeng, Matsumuro Yoshitaka realized that the "mole" would be in danger and ordered the "mole" to remain silent.

It was precisely because of this order that the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters deliberately leaked information several times but failed to find the "mole".

After half a year of peace and tranquility, Matsumuro Yoshitaka was finally reinstated.

Doihara took the information and laughed.

"Just as I expected, Chongqing is getting anxious!"

The information conveyed by the "mole" was that Dai Chunfeng asked the Shanghai District to sanction Zhang Xiaolin as soon as possible.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka asked, "Sir, do you think Shanghai will take action?"

"They have to take action!"

Doihara smiled and said, "Dai Chunfeng has always been the man with the final say in the Military Control Commission. No one can bargain with him once he gives his orders!"

"The storm is about to blow!"

Doihara was extremely proud at this time. Although the death of Zhan Zhenshan was beyond his expectations, the development of things was according to his calculations!

His goal is to eradicate the Military Control Commission in Shanghai!

But judging from countless cases in the past, the Military Control Commission is deeply rooted in Shanghai!
It’s too difficult to eradicate it!

Therefore, the Military Control Commission must be put into action. Only by doing so can their traces be seen.

He originally planned to use a man named Wang from Hanoi to achieve his goal.

But seeing that the Military Control Commission was planning to set up the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Unification Committee in Shanghai, he asked Matsumuro Yoshitaka and Tsukamoto Seiji to set up the Huangdao Society within the Green Gang.

As soon as Zhan Zhenshan died, he realized that it was the Military Control Commission that was forcing the Green Gang members, so he revealed Zhang Xiaolin.

The current situation is that the Military Control Commission has to both integrate the Green Gang and sanction Zhang Xiaolin. Under such circumstances, the force used by the Military Control Commission will leave enough traces.

"Matsumuro-kun, what's the situation with No. 76?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka reported: "Ten consultants have been placed in place, and the other forty people have also entered Unit 76 as graduates of the Shanghai Police Academy."

The fifty people that Matsumuro Yoshitaka mentioned were agents brought by Doihara from his homeland - the ten consultants were agents who graduated from the homeland, and the other forty were agents from the Northeast.

No. 76 is to be used as a knife, but this knife must be sharp. In the past, No. 76 was just a stick, and in Doihara's eyes, it was not qualified to be a knife, so he strengthened it.

"Very good, Matsumuro-kun, your next priority is to keep a close eye on the Green Gang, and let Tsukamoto's Special High Section be responsible for Zhang Xiaolin's security."

As Doihara spoke, he took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer and handed them to Matsumuro Yoshitaka:

"Matsumuro-kun, this is the action record of the Shanghai Military Control Commission that I ordered people to compile. I found that they are very good at the 'all-in-one' assassination method!"

"This method will deal the most serious blow to our morale! The Huangdao Society is about to take action, and Zhang Xiaolin has already clearly defected to our side. The enemy is very likely to use the same old trick again - Mr. Matsumuro, I don't want the enemy to succeed this time!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka quickly replied:

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. I will never fall into the same pit twice!"

Doihara nodded, indicating that Matsumuro Yoshitaka could leave.

Not long after Matsumuro Yoshitaka left, the secretary knocked on the door and came in:
"General, Lieutenant Colonel Takeda requests to see you."

"Is he here?" Doihara's eyes lit up: "Let him in!"

The secretary took the order and went out to let in Takeda Yukihira, who was in casual clothes.

"General! Takeda Yukihira reports in!"

"Takeda-kun, sit down!" Doihara motioned for Takeda to sit down and said, "I've been waiting for you for a few days!"

Takeda stood up and said, "Please give your orders, General!"

"Sit down, don't be nervous."

Doihara motioned for Takeda to sit down again, and said in a deep voice: "Takeda-kun, this time I am going to give you an extremely important task. If you succeed, you will be a hero of the empire!"

"I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

Doihara nodded with satisfaction and handed a photo to Takeda from the drawer.

Takeda took it and looked at it, then said, "This is the Beiguang Maru."

"Yes and no." Doihara said: "To be precise, it is the sister ship of the Beikou Maru, but it is now called Beikou Maru!"

The reason why the Hokuko Maru left its name in history is that it sailed from mainland Japan and headed to Vietnam to pick up a person.

This person is none other than Mr. Wang!

"Kagesawa sent a telegram, predicting that we will arrive in Shanghai on the 8th. Takeda, I want you to take your men on this ship, pretending to be back from Vietnam, and arrive in Shanghai on the 6th!"

"Mr. Wang and his party must be on board the ship. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Takeda didn't ask the reason, but stood up and said, "Hi!"

"This matter is kept secret and no one is allowed to know about it. Do you understand?"

"Hi Yi!"

"Go ahead, I'll wire you."

This is another killer move of Doihara!
He knew that the Military Intelligence Bureau would not let Wang go. Once Wang arrived in Shanghai, the Military Intelligence Bureau would assassinate him no matter what, so he prepared a fake Monkey King.

[According to the style of the Shanghai Military Control Commission, when Wang came to Shanghai, assassination was inevitable. In addition, they also had the habit of preparing "gifts".]

[I want to see what gift the Shanghai Military Control Commission has prepared this time! ]

Doihara smiled with a confident look on his face. At this moment, the Shanghai Military Control Commission had two goals that had to be accomplished. In addition, with the Zodiac Meeting he had prepared for the Shanghai Military Control Commission, no matter whether the Military Control Commission won or not, the icy body hidden under the water would be revealed in front of him!

"Under the general trend, what's the harm in having one or two tactical victories?"
