Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Directly affiliated group stronghold.

Facing Qi Qingbao who appeared again, Zhang Anping couldn't help but tilt his head and said:
"Is your Shanghai Office stuck somewhere collecting intelligence right now?"

Qi Qingbao appeared too frequently. Among the many intelligence team leaders under Zhang Anping, none of them appeared at the direct team's base as often as Qi Qingbao.

Every time Qi Qingbao came, he brought important information.

Moreover, every time the information was delivered recently, it was provided by Shi Yimei.

So much so that Zhang Anping always had the illusion that Shi Yimei had found a bug and was blocking the way to collect intelligence.

Qi Qingbao didn't understand what Zhang Anping meant, but he knew he was complaining. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Shi Yimei said that she was probably exposed this time and had decided to withdraw to Chongqing."

"She found evidence of Yi Mocheng's betrayal?"

Qi Qingbao nodded.

"The Iron Dome Project, huh, it's all a joke!"

After complaining, Zhang Anping took the information brought by Qi Qingbao. He thought it was evidence of Yi Mocheng's betrayal, but when he opened it, he found out that it was actually Tsukamoto's plan to discover the KMT's activities in the pseudo Fourth Division.

"Fake Fourth Division?"

Zhang Anping resisted the urge to frown. He had not received any information about the activities of the various intelligence groups in the pseudo Fourth Division!
In order to avoid waste of resources among the intelligence groups, the activities of each intelligence group must be reported. Zhang Anping did not receive any news, which proves that the activities of the Military Control Commission in this intelligence are most likely not from the Military Control Commission.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the intelligence groups have not reported certain things - but this is almost impossible. Zhang Anping is indeed kind to his subordinates, but this kindness is only relative to other agents. If they fail to carry out Zhang Anping's intentions or if they act in a lip service, Zhang Anping will not hesitate to deal with them.

Since it is neither the Military Control Commission nor the Central Control Commission, it must be the underground party.

Zhang Anping believed that it was the work of the Shanghai underground party, so he did not make it public, but said:
"I see."

Putting away the information, Zhang Anping said: "When sending the telegram to Xu Rong, add a sentence in my name:

There are a few capable people in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Stop doing nonsense all day long. Anti-Japanese resistance is the real thing!"

This sentence is a disguised way of speaking for Master Yimei.

He has always been skeptical about Shi Yimei, but Shi Yimei provided a lot of useful information. Now she is going back to the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Chongqing. Zhang Anping, who is grateful, naturally has to say a good word for her.

You have to know that Shi Yimei had been ordered to be killed by the Central Bureau of Investigation before. Now it has been proved to the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters that it was Yi Mocheng's doing, but Shi Yimei will definitely be punished when she returns. Zhang Anping's intercession is really worth a thousand gold.

Qi Qingbao said:

"Yes."

He really likes Zhang Anping's humanity.

Seeing Qi Qingbao was about to leave, Zhang Anping hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Tell Shi Yimei that I'm sorry about Li Weigong. But if there is another chance, I will not let him go."

Zhang Anping did not think he was wrong in executing Li Weigong. He had already given him the title of a martyr for his country, which lived up to his later "repentance" - but everyone has to pay the price for his mistakes. His mistake caused the Nanjing District of the Military Control Commission to suffer heavy losses and dozens of anti-Japanese fighters were shot. It is the law of nature that he paid with his life!
After Qi Qingbao left, Zhang Anping began to think.

Those who were active in the puppet Fourth Division should be comrades of the Shanghai underground party. Tsukamoto had set a trap in the puppet Fourth Division, waiting to catch all the comrades in one fell swoop. He should have immediately passed the information to Lao Cen and asked the comrades in the puppet Fourth Division to evacuate to avoid being captured by the Japanese.

But how can you keep yourself out of it?

This matter was information provided by Shi Yimei. If he notified the underground party to evacuate the pseudo Fourth Division, this matter would become a hidden danger - once it was dug up in the future, it would easily give people an excuse to criticize him.

While he was thinking, Miao Fengxiang came in to refill the teapot. The moment he saw Miao Fengxiang, an idea emerged in Zhang Anping's mind:
[Perhaps, I can place an undercover agent next to me? ]

Given Zhang Shihao's personality, it wouldn't be too much to use this incident to set up a trap and let the people around him secretly surrender to the Communist Party and become a double agent, right?
Well, I have to talk to Lao Cen about this matter.

After making up his mind, he left the base and went to look for Lao Cen.

Lao Cen was surprised when he saw Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping just came to see him the day before yesterday, which was New Year's Eve. Why is he here again today?
He couldn't help but said:

"Anping, it's not good for you to meet me so frequently! If someone follows us secretly, the relationship between you and me will be exposed!"

Zhang Anping said rather conceitedly:

"Lao Cen, no one in this world can follow me without me noticing!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Cen said sternly:
"What if they tracked us in stages? Don't be so sure. In our line of work, anything can happen."

It was rare for Lao Cen to scold him, so Zhang Anping felt a little embarrassed and quickly promised: "I won't be so conceited in the future. Next time something like this happens, we will meet secretly as agreed, okay?"

Old Cen nodded, fearing that Zhang Anping would be unhappy, and explained: "I am just in case - even the wisest man can make mistakes, our ancestors have already made it clear."

"I understand, Aunt Cen! Let's talk about business--" Zhang Anping almost broke Old Cen's defense with a title. Before Old Cen could not help nagging again, Zhang Anping handed the information that Shi Yimei gave to Qi Qingbao to Old Cen.

"The Military Control Commission has no plan to operate in the pseudo Fourth Division, and the intelligence was obtained by the Central Control Commission. I suspect that it was a comrade from the underground party. I don't know how Tsukamoto mistook him for a member of the Military Control Commission. You should contact the comrades from the underground party and make sure that our comrades are evacuated safely."

Talking to Lao Cen about serious matters was the only way to keep Lao Cen from getting angry. Lao Cen, who was easily controlled by Zhang Anping, took over the intelligence and read it, then said carefully:
"Anping, this was provided by Shi Yimei, right? Let's not talk about the accuracy of the information for now. Will this matter implicate you?"

"This is related to the second thing I want to say - I want to send someone close to me to be a spy for our comrades. Do you think it's okay?"

Lao Cen was a little confused and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Zhang Shihao, a big spy of the Military Control Commission, plans to have people around him infiltrate the underground party and serve as their accomplices!"

Zhang Anping never hesitates when he jokes about himself, and then explains his considerations:

"This piece of information can be handed over to our comrades. In the future, related information will also be sent to the organization through him." Lao Cen thought and said, "This is a good idea, but what should we do next?"

"We'll talk about the future later!" Zhang Anping spread his hands. In fact, he already had a general idea in his mind - was it surprising that the double agent he planted turned out to be a triple agent?
Old Cen looked at Zhang Anping speechlessly. He knew Zhang Anping too well. Once Zhang Anping made this gesture, it meant that this guy already had a plan in mind and was just deliberately not saying it.

"There's no time to lose. I'll make arrangements right away."

……

After leaving Lao Cen, Zhang Anping entered a state of contemplation again on his way back - this is the instinct of an agent, as long as he has free time, he will examine all kinds of memories.

Suddenly, Lao Cen's words flashed through his mind like thunder:

What if it was tracked in sections? You, don't be so sure. In our line of work, anything can happen.

The background of Lao Cen's words was: he had just looked for him the day before yesterday, and he came to look for him again today.

It was only a day later, but Old Cen said such words. Then...what about Qi Qingbao?
At that moment, Zhang Anping felt as if he had been electrocuted.

In less than twenty days, how many times did Qi Qingbao look for me?
And every time it was because of the information provided by Shi Yimei!
And this time, Shi Yimei said that she was exposed and had to evacuate - which meant this was the last time!
If there is a problem, then this time...

Zhang Anping, with his scalp tingling and his whole body trembling, realized that he might have made, or had committed, a huge mistake!

The secret base of the direct group was carefully built by Yu Xiuning as early as the special group period, and Zhang Anping also invested a lot of money to cooperate with Yu Xiuning in building it.

All the personnel in the direct group's base came in through five or six secret tunnels. After working for several years, they could not imagine that the place where they worked would be an inconspicuous four-story building, and they would not imagine that this was their workplace when passing by.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Anping had an illusion that the base of the direct group was hidden and secure, so he instinctively relaxed his vigilance.

At this moment, he was almost certain that the secret base of the direct group had been exposed.

……

In fact, the base of the direct group was really exposed.

At this time, Shi Yimei and Tsukamoto were looking at the map carefully. The two of them, holding magnifying glasses, kept writing and drawing on the map.

"Qi Qingbao got off the train here and then walked into the alley. I checked the police files of this alley and found that only one family moved in at the beginning of 37, and there were no large numbers of unidentified people entering. This place couldn't be the base of the Shanghai Station's direct team."

"That's the secret passage?"

"Yes, the Military Control Commission led by Zhang Shihao is good at using secret passages. This stronghold should have been prepared during Zhang Shihao's time. Although the secret passage is hidden, it cannot be too long. The stronghold should be in this area."

Shi Yimei circled an area on the map and analyzed calmly:

"Such a secret stronghold must have been accompanied by corresponding underground construction and renovation projects. The residents of this alley moved in at the beginning of 37, so the underground construction and renovation projects should have been carried out during this period!"

"This kind of project must be covered up under the name of regular construction. Check the municipal archives immediately. I want to know the specific records of the construction in this area around the beginning of 37."

Tsukamoto shook his head. "It's probably not found in the municipal archives. Zhang Shihao secretly destroyed a lot of files on the eve of Shanghai falling into the hands of the Empire. A large-scale census was conducted on July 76th of the year before last. Through transaction information, dozens of safe houses prepared by the Military Control Commission were found."

"At that time, we thought that most of the secret bases of the Military Control Commission had been destroyed, but in the past two years, no less than fifteen more have been discovered. This proves that the ones that have been found were deliberately left for us by the other party."

"Because these strongholds that were discovered later, although they were all traded at the time, there was no corresponding record in the municipal archives."

Shi Yimei said in a serious tone: "What a terrible opponent."

"Fortunately he is dead." Tsukamoto's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of complacency. The assassination of Zhang Shihao was his most brilliant achievement.

Shi Yimei did not agree and immediately proposed another idea:

"Go and find the rickshaw drivers who have been working in this area for more than four years. Ask them - these people are active in this area frequently and should have an impression of it."

After Shi Yimei finished speaking, she reminded him: "Don't let them go after we find out the stronghold."

"Do what the division chief says right now—" Tsukamoto immediately instructed his men, and then smiled at Shi Yimei and said, "After tomorrow, Miss Shi will be the division chief, deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, and director of the No. 76 Intelligence Department. How do you think?"

Shi Yimei nodded in agreement, and then said, "Section Chief Tsukamoto, we must find out and destroy this base at lightning speed before 7 o'clock tonight! Can we catch Zhang Xiao? Do it before 7 o'clock, because I'm worried that he will react after a night."

Tsukamoto was taught: "Miss Shi is right."

In fact, Tsukamoto mentioned a plan before:
With the alley where Qi Qingbao disappeared as the center, a one-kilometer radius was blocked off.

An area of ​​0.8 square kilometers may not sound large, but the number of people deployed to blockade it could not be two or three thousand. In addition, there are many businesses in the marked area, so it is not impossible that nearly people are within the blockade. The Special High Police had a history of fruitless blockades and searches after the fall of Shanghai, so Shi Yimei refused.

Shi Yimei's opinion was that blockade was necessary, but the location of the stronghold must be determined first. When launching a thunder strike on the stronghold, a one-kilometer range should be blocked at the same time, and troops should be sent in to garrison in sections.

Because Shi Yimei was sure that this stronghold was very likely to have a huge underground transportation network, once a surprise attack was launched, the enemy would definitely enter the secret passage and leave as soon as possible, so it was necessary to block it while controlling the stronghold, and then trace it back in reverse to prevent the Military Control Commission from merging into the crowd and being unable to find them.

Although this proposal and Tsukamoto's plan both involve blockades, the latter is an aimless blockade while the former combines blockade and suppression at the same time.

In short, Shi Yimei overestimated her opponent by exceeding her upper limit.

This time, Tsukamoto put in a lot of effort. Under his strict orders, the efficiency of the Special High Section was amazing. After more than an hour, they obtained accurate information from the rickshaw driver:

No. 58 Futian'an Road, as confirmed by several rickshaw pullers, underwent a renovation that lasted for more than two months in early 37.

“That’s right here!”

Tsukamoto showed excitement. This is it.

"With this place as the center, blockade the one-kilometer radius! While blocking it, head straight for No. 58 - we must control this place as soon as possible!"

Tsukamoto slammed his fist on the table and said viciously:
"Zhang Xiao, this time he is the meat on the chopping board!"

"The famous Zhang Shihao fell into my hands. Zhang Xiao is just the second Zhang Shihao. He can't escape from my grasp either!" (End of this chapter)
