Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

The predecessor of the Songhu Detachment of the Loyal Rescue Army was the Songhu Battalion.

The reason they gathered together was because an agent named Zhang Shihao led them to win the first victory against Japan in their lives after the fall of Songhu!
Then, they experienced one victory after another.

In the battlefield of the national war where the main force of the National Army suffered repeated defeats, they won victory after victory in Songhu. This contrast made them have immense pride and also made them have an indelible sense of identity with the Songhu Command as an institution.

They were transferred to the Hangzhou Corps due to reorganization, but they still maintained the infinite passion they had when they were in the Songhu Detachment. From the bottom of their hearts, they identified themselves as part of the Songhu Detachment.

It was precisely because of the training of the Songhu Detachment that they were able to easily stand out in the Hangzhou Corps and become the backbone. After Madeline took over the Hangzhou Corps, these veterans with excellent work style and high fighting will also became the core backbone that he was proud of.

Why did He Xingjian allow the elite troops "snatched" from the Songhu Detachment to join his guard company?
Isn't it because these people are elites? !
The same was true for Madeline, who took over the Hangzhou Corps. However, he did not make these people his own guard company, but made them the backbone. As a result, the Hangzhou Corps, which was active in the Hangzhou-Ningbo area, became a huge team of nearly two thousand people in just less than a year.

These backbones he recognized also became the core support of the Hangzhou Corps.

But now, this weak scholar in front of him gave an order in the name of the Songhu Command, and the backbone people around him who he was most proud of stepped out under his nose and reported to the other side.

Is this a report?
No, this is a statement!
Madeline's heart sank to the bottom. This scene that he could never have imagined in his dreams actually appeared before him.

His arrogance just now seemed like a joke.

What shocked him even more was that in the next two minutes, dozens of key officers from the Hangzhou Corps, which he thought had strict discipline, actually walked out. They did not say they would report, but they stood behind Nan Yun and the others.

Just because...the Songhu Command Order!
These people naturally did not know Zhang Anping, but they knew that this reorganization was led by the Songhu Command, so they stood up at the critical moment.

Zhang Anping ordered: "Return to the team."

At the command, these people turned around and returned to their previous positions.

As a result, the already quiet Hangzhou Corps went from silent to dead silent.

Zhang Anping did not have the arrogance of a winner, but he still held his head high and saluted Madeline:

"Zhang Xiao, executive member of the Zhongjiu Army Reorganization Committee and head of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission."

Madeline was stunned for a moment, then dismounted and returned the greeting after a few seconds:

"Madlin, the Hangzhou General Team of the Loyal Rescue Army."

Then he turned around and looked at his men who were riding high on their horses. They were still in shock, so they quickly dismounted and saluted Zhang Anping.

The entire Hangzhou Corps surrendered at this moment.

"Let's set up camp here, Captain Ma. Please come into the command center for a chat."

Madeline nodded and followed Zhang Anping into the town.

In fact, Zhang Anping had a better way to deal with Madeline's show of force - before leaving, Commander Yu was worried that Madeline might cause trouble, so he left a letter and told Zhang Anping that if Madeline caused trouble, he could give the letter to Madeline.

But Zhang Anping did not send the letter, but chose such a drastic measure.

Because he also wants to establish his authority!
So that others won’t mistake me for a weak scholar.

……

After following Zhang Anping into Xiaofeng, Madeline felt as if his buttocks were cut open with a knife.

He thought that the Hangzhou Corps under his command was definitely the most elite force of the Loyal Rescue Army. After all, he believed that he had used the right people, letting the right people train and lead the troops, and had trained a strictly disciplined army.

But when he walked into Xiaofeng and saw the Songhu Detachment, he realized that there is always someone better than you - the Songhu Detachment in Xiaofeng was much better than his Hangzhou Corps in terms of discipline!

As for the combat effectiveness of the Songhu Detachment, he naturally had no doubt about it.

He already regretted his foolish act of not listening to his subordinates' advice and insisting on giving them a warning, but now he was too embarrassed to bow his head, so he had to pretend to let them do what they wanted.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Anping took him directly to the headquarters and handed him a letter.

Holding the letter, Madeline said awkwardly: "Chief Zhang, I can't read."

Zhang Anping was very curious. Although this guy had given him a warning, the Hangzhou Corps was indeed the best developed in the entire Loyal Rescue Army except for the Songhu Detachment after Madelin took over. It could be understood that the other party had the capital to be arrogant - a commander who could lead the Hangzhou Corps into such an elite force, actually couldn't read a single word?
Zhang Anping then found a staff officer and asked him to read the letter to Madeline.

During this period, he continued to write the draft of the compilation. While writing, Madeline walked into Zhang Anping's office rubbing his hands. He walked back and forth in front of Zhang Anping's desk several times, at a loss, but didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a while, he sat on a chair not far away.

Zhang Anping ignored him and continued writing his draft. He didn't put down his pen until more than an hour later. He looked at Madeline who was waiting with interest:

"What advice do you have, Commander Ma?"

Madelin quickly stood up and said, "District Chief Zhang, the commander's nickname is just a random one, don't take it seriously."

He was unwilling to bow his head, but the letter that General Yu left for him told him not to act on his own, but to obey the command of District Chief Zhang Xiao and cooperate with District Chief Zhang to complete the reorganization.

In addition, Zhang Anping made him feel the despair of being crushed both in terms of courage and means, so he gritted his teeth and bowed his head.

Zhang Anping smiled and changed his address: "Captain Ma, what can I do for you?"

Madeline gritted his teeth and said, "District Chief Zhang, I admit my mistake to you."

"Oh?"

"I'm not smart enough. I was fooled into thinking that you squeezed out Commander Yu, so I..." Madelin said humbly, "That's why I wanted to deliberately embarrass you."

"Madlin is willing to accept any punishment."

Zhang Anping asked with a smile: "Captain Ma is really willing to accept any punishment?"

Madeline simply said, "Yes!"

"What if I merge the Hangzhou Corps and the Third Detachment into the Southern Zhejiang Column and only keep 1,800 men?"

"Ah?" Madeline looked at Zhang Anping in doubt: "Why?"

Zhang Anping asked back: "Aren't you willing to accept any punishment?"

"But, but..." Madeline muttered a few times and then defended himself, "But the Hangzhou team didn't make any mistakes!"

Zhang Anping remained silent, staring at Madeline blankly, as if asking Madeline to swallow back what he had just said. This attitude made Madeline's face flush. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I accept!"

Zhang Anping laughed and threw the draft he had just finished to Madeline:

"This is the reorganization draft I drafted. Take it back and think about it yourself. Return it to me tomorrow. I'll give you a piece of advice--"

Zhang Anping looked at Madeline and said in a deep voice: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!"

Madelin, who was born a bandit and had joined the Loyal Rescue Army for more than a year, looked at Zhang Anping in confusion. When he saw that Zhang Anping did not continue speaking, he had to take the draft and go back in confusion - he thought he probably could not escape the punishment, but he did not expect it to end so easily?

Looking at Madeline's leaving back, Zhang Anping shook his head and laughed. It was just like what Mr. Yu said, he was a rough man with feelings and righteousness.

I hope you can recognize your situation.

...In late June 1939, the attention of China, Japan and the Soviet Union was focused on a place called Nomonhan.

As Zhukov was appointed commander of the 57th Special Army by the Soviet High Command and the Soviet army bombed several Japanese assembly areas, the Japanese army began to mobilize a large number of troops in response. Both sides launched pre-war preparations and various tests around Nomonhan, a place that is difficult to find on the map.

Because of the Battle of Nomonhan, the Chinese battlefield entered a brief period of calm. Many Japanese troops abandoned their original combat plans, withdrew their forces, and prepared to move north.

At this point in time, the Loyalty and Patriotic Army, which was reorganized from the Rangers of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee, also began to reorganize under the operation of Zhang Anping.

The Southern Jiangsu Guerrilla Zone, the Southern Anhui Guerrilla Zone, the Northern Jiangsu Advance Column, the Zhejiang Corps, the Hangzhou Corps, the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Detachments all gathered within a radius of hundreds of miles with Xiaofeng as the center. The scale of tens of thousands of troops made the Japanese mistakenly believe that the National Government was going to launch a major counterattack, and for a long time they did not dare to act rashly.

In fact, at this time, a considerable number of people within the Zhongjiu Army believed that they should take advantage of the troops' assembly to deal a few blows to the Japanese army in the Huzhou area - the friendly forces were still very jealous of the capture of eight cities in southern Jiangsu at night, and they also wanted to repeat it.

"Fuck!" Facing the shouts from below, Zhang Anping sneered and threw the equipment data reported by each detachment on the table at the reorganization committee meeting:

"Except for the Songhu Detachment, only the Hangzhou Corps has a few heavy weapons. The other troops have mortars and rocket launchers at best! What can they use to fight a positional war with the Japanese?"

"As for the equipment of each team, apart from the Hangzhou headquarters, only a few forces in the Southern Jiangsu guerrilla zone can basically provide one gun per person. The best situation for other teams is two people per gun. I am very confused. If you can't even provide one gun per person, why do you always want to recruit men from all over the world?!"

Faced with Zhang Anping's retort, the officers attending the meeting all looked quite embarrassed. They considered themselves to be veterans in the army, and now they were being pointed at and scolded, who could feel good?

But they have to keep their opinions to themselves!

First, Zhang Anping is the mayor of Shanghai District, which is a much higher status than theirs. Second, Zhang Anping has several teams behind him that support him unconditionally.

More than 7,000 people were withdrawn from the Southern Jiangsu Guerrilla Zone, including more than 1,500 people from the Songhu Detachment, more than 1,800 people from the Hangzhou Corps, and the teaching detachment directly under the command. These more than 10,000 people happened to be the most elite force of the Loyal Rescue Army.

Unless you choose to surrender to Japan, your best option at this time is to shut up.

After all, in terms of fighting ability, military exploits, and equipment, the nearly 30,000 of them combined are no match for the force supporting Zhang Anping.

"Now let me tell you about the reorganization plan."

After refuting the challenge, Zhang Anping sent out the documents he had prepared for countless days and said:
“After this reorganization, six sub-commands will be established, as follows:

Southern Jiangsu Command, Songhu Command, Northern Jiangsu Command, Southern Anhui Command, Southern Zhejiang Command and Northern Zhejiang Command.

Each command has two to three operational corps under its jurisdiction.

Except for the Nanjing and Shanghai districts, the chiefs of intelligence stations within the command will serve as deputy commanders of the command or captains of the operations team. "

Everyone looked through the materials prepared by Zhang Anping, their faces gloomy.

This is tantamount to releasing military power in disguise - not only because the size of the troops has been reduced, but also because the station chiefs and others have become powerful figures in various command posts, which means that their actions in the future will inevitably change from being completely autonomous in the past to being dominated by the intelligence stations.

In other words, they will be demoted from the protagonist to the supporting role.

Some people used the disarmament as an excuse: "Director Zhang, laying off nearly 40,000 people at once, this... may not be easy to do!"

"After all, everyone joined the army to fight the Japanese. Layoffs would only discourage people!"

Hearing someone taking the lead, others followed suit.

Disarmament is not in their interest;
Reorganization is even less in their interest.

On the other hand, Madeline, whose grudges were smoothed over by Zhang Anping in one encounter, did not speak - during the time he had been in contact with Zhang Anping, after he understood the core purpose of the reorganization, he actually became a supporter of the reorganization.

Seeing so many people agreeing at this moment, he couldn't help but sneer:
"Whose heart will be turned off? Reorganization and layoffs don't mean sending people back home to farm! According to Boss Dai's instructions, all the redundant personnel, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, will be transferred to the Third War Zone!"

"If you really want to serve your country, then wherever you go is not serving your country. I'm just afraid..." Madelin sneered and looked around at the opponents, and said in a cold voice:
"I'm afraid that some people are afraid of losing their own power, and some people are reluctant to dominate a region!"

After being scolded by Madeline, someone immediately got angry and slammed the table and said angrily: "Madeline, who are you talking about?"

They thought Madeline would be a help to them, but they didn't expect that Madeline would stand on Zhang Xiao's side.

According to the reorganization materials, Madeline was changed from a captain-in-chief like a prince to the chief of staff of the North Zhejiang Command, which was a typical promotion in name only and demotion in reality. In addition, the Hangzhou Corps had already begun reorganization, and the team of more than 1,800 people would be cut in half - this was simply a blatant act of chopping down with a machete!

What kind of drug has Madelin been fed? Why is he still on Zhang Xiao's side?

"I'm telling you who knows it! Since we're fighting the devils, don't always play small tricks!" Madelin glanced at the officer who slammed the table with disdain:

"I am a bandit, but I know how to join the National Army to fight the Japanese at this time. Some people are surprised. They only know how to run when fighting the Japanese, but they are more excited to bully men and women than when I was a bandit. Captain Wang, I heard that you married six concubines?"

Madeline's words are like sharp swords:
"The Japanese didn't cause much harm to the people in Lishui, but you did!"

"Madelin, I fuck your ancestors!"

The officer who was pointed out by Madeline was furious. He slammed the table and stood up to fight with Madeline. Madeline was not to be outdone and rolled up his sleeves to fight.

Zhang Anping, who had been silent, raised his arm at this time, and the next second Liu Xinjie brought people in.

"Take the man away!"

Zhang Anping said leisurely:
"Shot!"

Shot?!
Everyone was shocked, even Madeline was stunned.

Without saying a word, Liu Xinjie took his men to drag the captain away. The captain started to curse angrily. Amid the curses, someone spoke up: "District Chief Zhang, this..."

Zhang Anping stared at the other person coldly, causing him to swallow the rest of his words involuntarily.

Zhang Anping said indifferently: "It seems that before reorganizing, we have to rectify military discipline first."

After saying that, he stood up and left the meeting room without saying a word.

Zhang Anping facilitated the reorganization of the Zhongjiu Army. On the one hand, some people in the Zhongjiu Army indiscriminately conscripted men to expand their manpower, which led to a decline in combat effectiveness. On the other hand, it was because the military discipline of the Zhongjiu Army had seriously declined - under the guise of raising military funds on their own, many people committed crimes and brought disaster to the community.

Now that he had the power to reorganize, he of course had to do some liquidation. He was just worrying about having no excuse to start the liquidation, but he didn't expect that Madeline would give him a great assist at the reorganization meeting.

Then... settlement!
If it were someone else, such a purge would easily be considered as having ill intentions, but Zhang Anping was not afraid of that. Even if he put all his own direct descendants in power, Old Dai would only applaud and not interfere.

This is also the reason why he dared to kill a detachment leader just because of a disagreement.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the other party's actions are really disgusting, so it is just right to kill him to establish authority and correct the unhealthy trends in the Zhongjiu Army.

砰

Following a few crisp gunshots, the conference room fell into a chill.

No one thought that Zhang Anping would be shot over a disagreement.

Even Madeline felt frightened.

Thinking of his previous arrogance, Madeline couldn't help but think:

[I... really was on the brink of death!] (End of this chapter)
