Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

When later generations interpreted the Empty City Strategy, they always liked to use the phrase "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked" to explain the situation where the army did not dare to enter.

But at this moment, Tsukamoto did not think about this question, or he was not qualified to think so. At this time, Tsukamoto only knew one thing:

Zhang Xiao, his old enemy who should have been locked in the encirclement, not only came out but also attacked him angrily.

If it weren't for the French soldiers and patrolmen around him, he might have died here today.

But he did not feel the joy of escaping death, but only deep uneasiness and regret.

Why couldn't he just wait?

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Tsukamoto returned to the blockade, sat powerlessly on the chair, looking up at the deep sky with melancholy. He had a feeling that this time he might not have good luck.

At this time, a blind subordinate came over:
"Section Chief, could that passage in the French Concession be a smokescreen deliberately set up by the resistance elements?"

Tsukamoto looked at his subordinate blankly: "Why do you say that?"

"Because it's so... so incredible!"

The subordinate said: "That's too unreasonable!"

The last sentence resonated with Tsukamoto:

"Yeah, that's unreasonable."

"But...he is Zhang Xiao!"

Tsukamoto showed a bitter look on his face: "I have always felt that I have overestimated this opponent, but now it seems that I still underestimated him. His back-up plans are just as endless as Zhang Shihao's!"

"It would be great if this really was a smokescreen."

"But...it's not!"

"This is not a smokescreen. Just now, we were almost killed by Zhang Xiao's counterattack. If the French soldiers hadn't been so close, I... I would have died in another masterpiece of my own."

The heartbroken Tsukamoto was rambling abnormally:

"Hojo, I always say that when facing Zhang Xiao, we must play it safe and not give him any chances to take advantage of us, but why can't I resist the temptation of a decisive battle?"

"I have clearly told myself that Zhang Xiao is just like Zhang Shihao, both are good at taking advantage of loopholes and winning in chaotic situations, but why do I always remember to eat and not to fight?"

"Oh, now I remember. It's not that I only care about eating and not about fighting. In fact, I just want to take it step by step. It's Yingzuo Zhenzhao who forced me to do it!"

"Look, the enemy is actually not to be feared. What is feared is often our own people. The most vicious knife is often stabbed at one's own people."

Tsukamoto kept talking on and on, but his subordinate Hojo had run away decisively as soon as Tsukamoto said the name Kagesa Yoshiaki, leaving Tsukamoto alone. Tsukamoto seemed to be unaware and continued to talk endlessly.

……

The Japanese withdrew.

Yesterday afternoon, thousands of troops plus countless Special High Police and No. 76 agents were dispatched to blockade this three-square-kilometer downtown area. However, after 13 hours, the Japanese gave up the blockade and withdrew in disgrace.

People then realized that it was the Japanese who found the Military Intelligence Bureau's lair in Shanghai - but this time the matter was very interesting, it was obviously the Japanese who found the Military Intelligence Bureau's lair, but the Military Intelligence Bureau only sacrificed two exposed agents, while the Japanese, who had an absolute advantage in heavy troops, burned more than 50 people to death in a fire.

That’s not all. Thousands of people surrounded the downtown area of ​​more than three square kilometers, intending to block the fleeing Military Control Commission inside. As a result, the Military Control Commission left openly outside the blockade right under their noses in the middle of the night, and ambushed the Japanese. If the French hadn’t taken advantage of the situation, the Japanese would have suffered a dozen more casualties.

This made the Japanese spy agency, which was already a joke, a topic of conversation again.

The Japanese were also filled with anger. The Japanese officers were very dissatisfied with Tsukamoto's collusion with the despicable politicians in the headquarters to make concessions and negotiations. Naturally, they wanted to denounce Tsukamoto who had disgraced the honor of Japanese soldiers.

And just when they were connecting with each other, a piece of news made them question their lives!

In the original blockade, more than 76 dusty resistance members came out from a secret passage in a dignified manner - yes, in a dignified manner, they did not avoid anyone, and just appeared in the blockade that had just restored order. Before the puppet police, Japanese spies, and Agent No. rushed over, they swaggered through the checkpoint of Pishaonai Road and entered the French Concession.

The Japanese spies and Agent No. 76 who heard the news were stunned. They followed the clues provided by the "obedient people" and found the yard where the resistance elements appeared. After a simple search, they found the secret passage with the exit wide open. After someone went down to check, they made a judgment based on the turbid air, various excrement and traces in the secret passage:
This secret passage is the one through which the resistance members escaped, and from the traces it can be confirmed that the group of resistance members who just left openly stayed in this secret passage for a long time!

This also proves one thing: the resistance elements who escaped from the French Concession and from under the noses of the Japanese last night were not the resistance elements blocked by the Japanese in the blockade at all!
If the resistance members used the secret passage to escape from the French Concession last night, it would be a slap in the face of the Japanese secret service.

But if that group of people were not, and the group that just escaped were the real target of the Japanese, then it would not be a slap in the face of the Japanese spy agency in Shanghai, but rather, after tearing their faces off and ravaging them severely, they were deliberately thrown into the toilet and pickled for 48 days.

After hearing the news, the officer of the Japanese Army Security Command ran to the Special Higher Police without saying a word, and then went to the residential area of ​​the Japanese Army Guard to find Seiji Tsukamoto. He slapped Tsukamoto three times and left angrily.

The Japanese have lost all their face this time!
……

At this time, Zhang Anping, the instigator, was leisurely sipping tea.

"Teacher, you are really good at this!"

"The Japanese are probably going crazy!"

The one who was flattering was not Xu Zhongyi, but Li Bohan who pretended to be the robber leader last night.

Last night's move of making the iron tree bloom was a stroke of genius, but no one expected that at the last moment, Zhang Anping would feint and attack with hatred - anyone would think that Zhang Xiao was so angry with Shi Yimei that he lost his mind.

But no one would ever imagine that all this was simply a calculation!
But after daytime, Zhang Anping actually made a big fanfare to let the brothers who were stranded in the secret passage come out, and by bribing the French, he entered the French Concession under the noses of the Japanese.

After Li Bohan put himself in the Japanese perspective, he concluded that the Japanese must be madly angry.

"So... the teacher is going to teach the Japanese a lesson next?"

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. My teacher is a person who never suffers any loss. This time, the Japanese have slapped the teacher in the face. Given the teacher's personality, it is definitely not as simple as mad at the Japanese.

"A lesson?"

Zhang Anping shook his head and said with some regret: "We are old rivals, and we know each other well. I'm afraid the Japanese are setting up a trap and waiting for my revenge."

Of course he had thought about taking advantage of the Japanese being mad at him to make some trouble, but Tsukamoto was able to set up such a dark trap for him this time. What if he went with the flow?
Even if Tsukamoto loses his mind, don't forget that behind him there is an old silver coin, Kagesa Tadaaki, who is sharpening his knife.

Kagesa is definitely a barking dog that bites but does not bite. Tsukamoto just appears to be steady but is essentially still very radical, but Kagesa is truly steady.

But being steady doesn't mean he won't do dirty things. Yoshitaka Matsumuro is an example. The two of them work together so closely, and the level of their cooperation is no less than that of a father and his son.

But what about the results?

A stab at the critical moment killed Yoshitaka Matsumuro to death!

Kagesa Tadayoshi already had a large number of spies transferred from Northeast China and mainland Japan, and he had also absorbed most of the forces of the Matsumuro Agency. However, starting from the Kagesa Agency that accepted the reconstruction of the Doihara Mansion, the only time this man took action was in cooperation with Matsumuro Yoshitaka. Apart from that, the spies of the Kagesa Agency were eerily silent.

This is what Zhang Anping is most worried about.

He was worried that this time the Kagesa Agency was the oriole in the dark, and the Special High Police was the cicada - and he was the mantis in the other's eyes.

So after thinking about it, Zhang Anping gave up the idea of ​​revenge.

Don’t you, Yingzuo Zhenzhao, like to hide in the dark?

Then I'll hide in the dark too!
Li Bohan couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher is really thoughtful."

Zhang Anping ignored Li Bohan's flattery and said solemnly:
"Bohan, from now on I will abolish the direct-affiliated groups. Without the direct-affiliated groups, the intelligence groups will no longer have a coordinating agency. All the action forces of the intelligence groups will have to be incorporated into the action group. If the intelligence groups have any action needs, they must communicate with Shen Fei. I'll tell you in advance so you can be prepared."

"is teacher."

Zhang Anping has absolute authority over the Shanghai Station and Nanjing Station in the Beijing-Shanghai area. This restructuring of reducing the intelligence team does not require coordination with anyone.

In fact, all the district station operations and intelligence forces of the Military Control Commission were separated. The main purpose was to avoid unnecessary internal friction. For example, there were three intelligence groups in a city, and the work of each intelligence group was naturally confidential. In the case that no one knew each other, if the force that controlled the intelligence had the power of action, it would easily affect its own people.

This was not the case with the Shanghai Station before, because the existence of the direct group could effectively coordinate the various intelligence groups and avoid such internal friction. But now it is no longer possible. Without the coordination of the direct group, the Shanghai Station has five high-level intelligence groups, which is prone to internal friction.

Therefore, by taking back the operational forces of each intelligence group, possible internal friction can be avoided.

Because if they want to take action, they must go through the action group. At that time, Zhang Anping will join the action group. With him as a super brain, there will naturally be no mistake of Li Bohan's intelligence group accidentally injuring the hidden intelligence personnel of Xu Tian's intelligence group.

But this only avoided the mistakes caused by internal friction. Without the direct group as a [staff body], it would be difficult for the Shanghai Station to organize large-scale operations as in the past.

After Li Bohan left, Zhang Anping arranged the strategy he had agreed with Lao Cen yesterday.

He wanted the people around him to "join the underground party."

As for the candidate, it is naturally only Miao Fengxiang.

Miao Fengxiang came over, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said dazedly, "Chief District Officer, are you looking for me?"

"I have some information here. Please copy it and send it anonymously to Wang's Grocery Store in Dafufang. Don't reveal your identity for the time being."

"Oh, yes." Miao Fengxiang, with sleepy eyes, took the information pushed to him by Zhang Anping, sat down and was about to copy it.

Zhang Anping said quietly, "Don't you want to ask who it's for?"

"Ah? Who are you sending it to? No, why am I asking this?" Miao Fengxiang reacted and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that in this line of work, the more you know, the worse it is?"

Zhang Anping laughed. This boy was quite clever.

So, he deliberately said quietly:
"The Wang Family Grocery Store in Dafufang is a secret liaison station of the Shanghai Underground Party. This information was passed on to the underground party."

Miao Fengxiang was startled, and the pen in his hand fell on the table involuntarily, and then he laughed dryly:

"District Chief, please don't joke around."

Zhang Anping was shocked by Miao Fengxiang's reaction. He stared at Miao Fengxiang without saying a word. In the heavy atmosphere, beads of sweat appeared on Miao Fengxiang's forehead. Seeing these beads of sweat merge into larger beads of sweat and drip down, Zhang Anping's face became more and more gloomy.

"District Commander, I, I, I will confess—"

Miao Fengxiang finally couldn't help it, and stood up and said nervously:

"When I was young and ignorant, I did join the underground party, but later I got separated from them. Then the Japanese came and I joined the Hangzhou team."

Zhang Anping stared at Miao Fengxiang and suddenly laughed out loud:

"You finally admitted it? I thought you were going to keep it to me for a long time - don't worry, I've known about this for a long time. Do you think you can stay by my side? How can I rest assured if I don't investigate you thoroughly?"

"It is because I know you have such a relationship that I let you do this."

Miao Fengxiang was relieved and said ashamedly, "Chief District Officer, I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Zhang Anping waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense - copy the information and send it over. Remember, don't reveal your identity for the time being."

"Yes."

Miao Fengxiang then sat down and continued copying. After he finished, he stood up and asked if he could go over now. After Zhang Anping nodded in agreement, he picked up the information and left.

When Miao Fengxiang disappeared, Zhang Anping, who seemed to have everything under control, suddenly showed a look of deep frustration on his face.

Zhang Anping, unexpectedly, also had a day when he made mistakes!!!
He really didn't expect that Miao Fengxiang had experience as an underground party member. If Miao Fengxiang hadn't been obviously guilty just now, he would still be kept in the dark.

[I made mistakes twice in a row. Tsk, I was too confident! ]

Zhang Anping sighed, and unknowingly felt a little overwhelmed. The two strikes came at the right time, and his gradually fading sense of awe resurfaced.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Anping thought:

[Since Miao Fengxiang has experience in participating in the underground party, and he did not actively defect, but joined the Loyal Rescue Army because he lost contact with the organization and because of the Japanese invasion, he should be able to win him over - there is still a lot of time, so it will be a good opportunity to win him over later! ]

Before the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, under the cover of white terror, the underground party comrades established a strict spy warfare system to ensure the safety of the organization. However, once something happened to their superiors, many party members would lose contact with the party organization.

Obviously, Miao Fengxiang fell into this situation. Because of the Japanese invasion, he, with his heart set on his country, joined the Loyal Rescue Army and entered the Hangzhou Corps. However, because of his eccentricity, he was transferred to the Songhu Corps, and by chance he was noticed by himself and kept by his side.

This is the real situation of Miao Fengxiang.

Zhang Anping's original plan was to plant a nail and use it to "backstab" himself at the critical moment, but since Miao Fengxiang had joined the organization, it would be a good opportunity for him to return under the right circumstances and act as a double agent, which would also protect himself at the critical moment.

[Next time you see Lao Cen, tell him about this situation.]

After making the decision, Zhang Anping stood up and planned to go back to the study to make a reconstruction plan for each intelligence group, mainly to merge all the action forces into the action group and set up the third action department.

While I was writing quickly, Xu Tian came in.

Zhang Anping asked without even raising his head: "What's the matter?"

He thought Xu Tian came to admit his mistake - Xu Tian was the leader of the direct group, and such a big thing happened in the direct group, and he, the leader, was not there at the critical moment.

But Xu Tian's answer surprised Zhang Anping:

"It's the intelligence from the pseudo Fourth Division."

Fake Fourth Division?
Zhang Anping put down his pen and looked at Xu Tian in confusion. The intelligence from the pseudo Fourth Division was sent by Shi Yimei. Zhang Anping had analyzed it before and he thought there would be no problem with the intelligence because Shi Yimei's goal was to follow Qi Qingbao's line to find the base of the direct group. Providing false intelligence would make him suspicious of her, so the intelligence had to be true.

The information he had just asked Miao Fengxiang to deliver was about the pseudo Fourth Division.

He asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Xu Tian said expressionlessly, "The people in the pseudo Fourth Division that Tsukamoto targeted were our people."

"Which intelligence group?" Zhang Anping's expression suddenly turned cold: "I didn't even know!"

If he knew, he would not have thought it was a notice from the underground party!
"It's Shang Zhensheng."

Xu Tian’s answer made Zhang Anping freeze in place.

Shang Zhensheng, former secretary-general of the Nanjing District, retreated to Shanghai with Li Weigong, but was betrayed by Li Weigong and captured.

Compared to Li Weigong's quick kneeling and selling out all his people, Shang Zhensheng was much more tough and never betrayed a single person from beginning to end.

Later, under the suggestion of Li Weiguang, Shang Zhensheng chose to compromise slowly, and his wife also got in touch with Zhou Fohai through her uncle's relationship. Finally, Shang Zhensheng was released and joined the puppet army through Zhou Fohai's relationship.

Zhang Anping chose to remain invisible throughout the entire incident, but after Li Weigong's death, he handed over Shang Zhensheng's relationship to an intelligence group under his command - because too many secrets were involved, Zhang Anping did not speak directly, but just asked them to identify.

Zhang Anping said gloomily: "Tell me the details."

"After you transferred Shang Zhensheng's relationship to Group Three, Group Three started the identification process and has been identifying Shang Zhensheng."

Xu Tiandao:
"During the identification period, Shang Zhensheng was transferred to the puppet Fourth Division as deputy chief of staff. During this period, he secretly contacted patriots and secretly planned an uprising. I don't know why the news leaked and was discovered by the Japanese."

This is the truth of the matter.

Because of the identification procedure, Group Three failed to establish smooth communication with Shang Zhensheng, which resulted in Group Three being unaware of Shang Zhensheng's actions.

But Tsukamoto didn't know. He thought this was an action of the Military Control Commission, so he gave the information to Shi Yimei as a bargaining chip.

Qi Qingbao took the information sent by Shi Yimei, but Zhang Anping knew nothing about it and mistakenly thought it was a plan of the underground party.

But who could have thought that such a mistake would lead to a misjudgment! (End of this chapter)
