Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Shanghai.

During this period, the Military Intelligence Bureau and No. 76 were in conflict. Even after mobilizing garrison troops and puppet police, the inflated No. 76 still did not gain any benefits from the Military Intelligence Bureau - but such a result seemed natural to everyone.

However, No. 76 obviously did not give up and was currently brewing a plan. After Gu Shenyan, who was at No. 76, learned of this plan, he couldn't help but feel shocked by Ding Moqun's madness. Besides being shocked, he felt that he must report the matter to stop No. 76's crazy behavior.

Gu Shenyan contacted Xu Tian through code words, and Xu Tian seemed to sense that No. 76 was brewing an astonishing plan. This time, during his secret meeting with Gu Shenyan, he also made an appointment with Ming Lou - the current three giants of Shanghai Station met under such circumstances.

"Wang Puppet Government intends to establish a central reserve bank and issue currency through the bank - is this true?"

After meeting, Gu Shenyan asked Minglou directly.

Ming Lou nodded: "Yes, it is being prepared."

“Then this is most likely true—” Gu Shenyan took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice: “No. 76 is preparing a secret plan to issue counterfeit currency.”

"This plan is very bloody. Ding Mocun must be crazy!"

Xu Tian's expression froze when he heard this, and it was obvious that he had heard the same rumor.

Ming Lou looked at Gu Shenyan solemnly, waiting for him to explain. Gu Shenyan did not keep him in suspense and told him what he knew about No. 76's plan:

"No. 76 intends to attack the employees of the four major banks and is currently in the planning stage."

"What?" Ming Lou exclaimed in shock.

Although the Nationalist government lost large tracts of land and even the financial center of Shanghai at the beginning of the war, the Big Four banks continued to exist in Shanghai by relying on the concessions.

It is precisely because of the existence of the four major banks in the occupied areas that legal tender is still circulated in the occupied areas, and countries around the world still recognize legal tender at this time.

Although the legal currency has been over-issued by dozens of times compared to the initial issuance.

It can be said that the four major banks in the occupied areas are very important. If No. 76 attacks the employees of the four major banks and all the branches of the four major banks are forced to close, it will be tantamount to declaring that the circulation of legal currency in the occupied areas will come to an end - currency is like water, and it will eventually flow to the bank. If there is no sea to converge with, the currency will lose its meaning.

Ming Lou said angrily: "How dare they?"

Gu Shenyan did not answer, but Xu Tian on the side said:

"Britain and France are currently preoccupied with their own affairs, so it is natural that the Japanese will take advantage of this opportunity to press their advantage."

He had also received similar rumors and was currently confirming and cutting them off, but he didn't expect that Gu Shenyan had already obtained accurate information before him.

So he was mentally prepared.

But even so, he felt extremely embarrassed. If No. 76 really did this, how should he counter it?

After accepting this fact, Ming Lou asked, "What are the specific methods?"

Gu Shenyan squeezed out two words from between his teeth:

"massacre."

That’s right, it was a massacre. This was the plan that Gu Shenyan learned about. No. 76 did not choose the usual method of making trouble used by the Green Gang thugs to target the four major banks, but instead targeted the employees of the four major banks for a massacre.

Someone said at the time:
"As long as we kill a quarter of the employees of the four banks, the other third will collapse without a fight! By then, the four major banks won't be able to open even if they want to!"

Although Gu Shenyan did not describe No. 76's strategy in detail, these two words already explained a lot of problems.

Ming Lou was filled with rage. What a No. 76! What a Ding Mocun!
At this time Xu Tian suddenly asked:

"Ding Mo-cun is not so radical. He must know the consequences of doing so!"

"It's probably because the pressure from the Japanese is too great," Gu Shenyan explained, "After Takeda took office, his support for No. 76 has been unprecedentedly strong, but No. 76 has never taken advantage of us."

Ming Lou interrupted, "Another reason is that Ding Mocun's current position is somewhat unstable."

"Zhou Fuhai stressed his dissatisfaction with Ding Mocun on more than one occasion."

After Minglou said this, Xu Tian and Gu Shenyan instantly understood why Zhou Fohai was dissatisfied with Ding Moqun.

When the Wang Puppet Government was being planned and established, it was the honeymoon period for Ding Mocun and the traitors of the Wang Puppet Government. At that time, Ding Mocun was just a sweetheart to the Wang Puppet Government.

So much so that after the pseudo Sixth National Congress was held, Ding Mocun was ranked higher in the traitor group.

But when the Wang Puppet regime was established, No. 76 caused a scandal by having its headquarters attacked, followed by the uprising of the 76th Division - in short, on the day the Wang Puppet regime was established, No. , which represented the secret service system, "stole the limelight."

As Takeda increased his support for No. 76, the traitors had to endure their dissatisfaction, because Takeda was their father.
But Ding Mocun and No. 76 were like a piece of mud that could not be helped. The manpower was doubled, but they were still pinned to the ground by the Military Control Commission. Now the traitors who had held Ding Mocun above them finally found an opportunity. After making reports again and again, Zhou Fohai expressed his dissatisfaction with Ding Mocun in public.

In other words, in order to improve his status, Ding Moqun decided to curry favor with Zhou Fohai in this way, because Zhou Fohai was the person in charge of issuing the Wang Puppet regime's currency.

Ming Lou, who hadn't been to No. 76 for a long time, asked curiously, "What is the mentality inside No. 76? Do you think the spies who have been intimidated by us will carry out this kind of mission?"

When capturing No. 76, a group of traitors with blood debts were executed - all the captured traitors would have been killed without injustice, but Zhang Anping instructed that only those with blood debts would be killed. This was to deter the traitors and let them understand one thing: as long as they were traitors and did not work wholeheartedly for the Japanese, they would not die even if they were caught!

Gu Shenyan explained: "There are too many new recruits, and there are many who are ruthless. These people have not experienced it firsthand, and many of them have been promoted, so they are utilitarian and ruthless in their actions."

This was also the response method of No. 76, using the expanded base and a small number of ruthless people who were suddenly promoted to undermine the "heart-breaking" offensive of the Military Control Commission.

Eyewitnesses may be wary and think twice before doing anything to avoid being on the list, but those who have not experienced it may be eager to come forward but will not be wary of these things.

"How should we deal with it this time? If it doesn't work, let's take the initiative!" Gu Shenyan expressed his thoughts.

Ming Lou looked at Xu Tian: "What do you think?"

"It's a good idea to strike first, but..." Xu Tian hesitated for a moment and said:

"But if we start now, and if we need to fight No. 76 next, the risk of problems with our operational force will increase greatly!"

Zhang Anping seems to be radical in his actions, but he is actually very cautious. The Shanghai Military Control Commission's operational force is extremely powerful, but in this case, Zhang Anping still requires a shift system - each team of action will be quiet for a period of time after completing an operation.

There is a saying in many industries:
Golden XX hours! If it is applied to counterintelligence, there is a similar saying, so Zhang Anping adopted this shift system and implemented it "rigidly".

It was for this reason that the Japanese never carried out large-scale arrests of the Military Control Commission's operational forces.

Xu Tian is a cautious person. He follows many of Zhang Anping's policies and strictly abides by the rules established by Zhang Anping. From 1937 to 1940, the extremely low loss ratio of the Shanghai Military Control Commission explains everything.

A bloody battle with Unit 76 started some time ago. The action force was the main force. With the support of efficient intelligence, the action team defeated Unit 76 with an impressive casualty ratio and made it cry for its parents.

But after high-intensity operations, the action team must enter a quiet state.

Otherwise, the number of people who may be traced may increase significantly.

The same reason why Xu Tian took the initiative to end the fight with No. 76.

Ming Lou and Gu Shenyan knew Xu Tian's concerns. Ming Lou sighed:

"This is a serious matter. Once the four major banks are forced to close, as long as time passes, the legal tender will really lose its value in the occupied areas. Once the inferior currency of the Wang puppet regime is released, it will replace the legal tender in a very short time. The currency of the Wang puppet regime has no anchoring items at all. After the wanton and excessive issuance, the Japanese will plunder a large amount of materials in our country at a very small cost!"

"I understand." Xu Tian had to change his tone after hearing this, and then he suggested:

"We should find a way to expose No. 76's plan, and then carry out retaliatory actions as a warning, and force No. 76 from multiple aspects."

Ming Lou agreed, "It can only be done this way - you will be responsible for the exposure, and you will be in charge of the warning and retaliation."

……

In the following period of time, the Military Intelligence Bureau, which had been silent for a short time, took action again. Many ruthless No. 76 agents were shot to death. At the same time, the Military Intelligence Bureau also dropped a "bomb" into a Japanese bank. This bomb was not a real bomb, but was made of mud. However, the fact that it was successfully placed in a Japanese bank also meant that the Military Intelligence Bureau had enough ability to put the real thing in it.

The warning is clear:

If you want to fight without limits, we will fight you to the end!
The assassination of Agent No. 76 was also very representative - most of them agreed to use massacre to drive out the spies of the Big Four banks.

At the same time, newspapers in the concession also published the conspiracy of No. 76. Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and countless people put pressure on the Wang Puppet Regime, hoping that the incident would not escalate.

It seems that the Military Control Commission’s goal has been achieved.

……

French Concession, Silpe Road, United Warehouse.

A guest who looked like a small businessman was welcomed into an inconspicuous office. However, when the woman in the office saw the guest, she stood up and greeted him respectfully:
"Chief, why are you here?"

"Small seclusion is in the wild, medium seclusion is in the city, Miss Shi has found a good place - but the conditions are a bit simple, thank you for your hard work, Miss Shi."

This small businessman was actually the head of the Shanghai Secret Service, Takeda Yoshihei, in disguise, and the woman in the office was Shi Yimei!
"You are joking, Chief. Please take a seat."

After taking his seat, Takeda got straight to the point: "Ms. Shi, Director Ding came to me to complain that you still insisted on attacking the employees of the four major banks! Can you tell me why?"

"Chief, we are only one step away!" Shi Yimei's expression was somewhat excited: "I am only one step away and I can get close to the military control forces. We must stimulate them to respond violently. As long as they carry out large-scale operations again, I can catch them!"

Hearing this, Takeda couldn't help but excitedly asked, "Really?" Even though he always held himself to the Chinese saying of "stay calm even when Mount Tai collapses before your eyes."

"It's absolutely true! In addition, I have secretly identified more than 76 suspects inside No. . I hope to use this operation to lure them out!"

Shi Yimei pleaded urgently.

During this period, whether it was the bloody fight between the Military Control Commission and No. 76 or the massacre of employees of the four major banks by No. 76, the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Shi Yimei!
She did this for only one purpose:
Let the Military Control Commission take as much action as possible so as to catch them!
Of course, another purpose is to clean up No. 76.

No. 76 was leaking information everywhere. During this period, No. 76 carried out high-intensity operations against the Military Control Commission. Under Shi Yimei's planning, the information was delivered in batches, and she could also identify which batch leaked the information by time - in this way, she has identified many suspected undercover agents.

Now, just the last step is left!
"If you're so sure, do it!"

Takeda returned to his nonchalant state, but his words moved Shi Yimei - ever since she joined the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, she had been held back and uncooperative in various ways, and the trust and empowerment that Takeda gave her moved her so much that she wanted to recognize his ancestors.

Although her current behavior is no different from changing her ancestors.

With Takeda's consent, Ding Mocun had to send people to carry out the massacre plan even though he was extremely reluctant.

When Ding Mocun was implementing the plan, he still left room for maneuver and asked that the incident not be escalated as much as possible.

But who are the traitors and spies of No. 76? Most of them are ruffians, and many of them have killed people before. After joining No. 76 and receiving the [Legal Photographing of Killings], they have to carry out this kind of killing mission. How could they leave any room for mercy?

A group of extremely brutal traitors and spies broke into the Bank of China's villa at No. 96 Jessfield Road in the middle of the night. They were so bloodthirsty that they massacred more than Bank of China employees and their families before the patrol police arrived.

During the two-day operation, despite the efforts of the Military Control Commission and the patrol police in the concession to stop them, the agents of No. 76 still destroyed several business outlets of the Big Four Banks. In addition to the bloody incident at the Bank of China branch, they also kidnapped more than 10 middle-level managers of the Big Four Banks and massacred more than 40 employees of the Big Four Banks.

The Shanghai Military Control Commission was enraged and launched a bloody revenge the day after Operation No. 76 was launched.

Many spies who participated in the Bank of China villa massacre were shot to death in their own homes that night. Several branches of Japanese banks were directly blown up by cars carrying bombs. Many officials of the Wang Puppet Economic Department were either injured or killed, several middle-level managers of No. 76 were wiped out, and even several cars loaded with explosives were detonated in Japanese-populated areas.

The chaos lasted for four full days. The furious Military Control Commission showed an extremely brutal and bloody side. Compared with the bloodiness in these four days, the bloody confrontation some time ago was like a play.

The chaos in Shanghai's financial sector made the concession authorities unable to sit still. The concession side, Britain and the United States stepped in to mediate and ended the four days of bloodshed by providing guarantees.

But just eight minutes after the agreement was reached, the Doihara Agency, which had been calm and almost eerie until then (after Takeda took office, he did not follow the convention of naming the Shanghai spy agency after Takeda, but called it the Doihara Agency.), suddenly set out at this time.

At the same time, people from the Special High Police entered No. 76 and immediately took control of the 76 members of No. 18.

The Doihara agency, mobilized in full force, with the cooperation of a large number of military police, raided many residential houses and arrested 96 people in just half an hour!
At the same time, Shi Yimei appeared in a grocery store and said to the owner of the grocery store with a smile:
"Mr. She, long time...no see!"

She Haiwang, head of the Sixth Intelligence Group of the Shanghai Military Control Commission, could not withstand torture after being arrested and revealed information about the members of the Sixth Intelligence Group, resulting in the arrest of more than 16 members of the Military Control Commission that night.

When the summarized data came to Zhang Anping's eyes, it was:

The Sixth Intelligence Group was destroyed, with 19 people, including its leader She Haiwang, arrested and six missing;
The action group was broken up, the action group leader Shen Fei was seriously injured, 87 members were arrested, 26 people died in the fierce fighting, and 17 people were missing;
Eight undercover agents inside Unit 76 were imprisoned. (End of this chapter)
