Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Zhang Anping rushed to Shanghai in a hurry without waiting for the training to be completed. The subsequent formation of the plainclothes mixed team was handed over to Xu Baichuan and Ma Zilong, the deputy chief instructor of the plainclothes mixed team.

When he returned to Shanghai, he could feel the solemn and austere atmosphere in the city of Shanghai before he even entered the city.

The demise of the Sixth Intelligence Group made the rapidly expanding No. 76 tremble. Agents from No. 76 could often be seen parading in the streets. Looking at these new agents who were not "recorded" in his mind, Zhang Anping's face did not show much expression, but Miao Fengxiang, who was following behind him, sensed the murderous intent of his superior.

Since the Special Intelligence Group period, the Shanghai Military Control Commission has suffered only two major defeats. One was when the then Special District 1 suffered heavy losses due to betrayal by a traitor, and the other was Lin Nansheng's rebellion. Apart from these, the Shanghai District has always crushed its opponents.

His superior had only been away from Shanghai for a few months, but he didn't expect that Xu Tian, ​​who stayed behind, would cause such a mess.

When he thought of this, Miao Fengxiang was filled with resentment towards Xu Tian - the undefeated reputation of the Shanghai District was completely ruined by you!
He thought that Zhang Anping would first attack Xu Tian who stayed behind when he returned to Shanghai this time, but to Miao Fengxiang's surprise, Zhang Anping did not get angry after seeing Xu Tian, ​​but just asked solemnly:

"What's going on with the Sixth Intelligence Group? And what's going on with the Operations Group?"

"What's going on with the nail in No. 76?!"

Xu Tian looked very bad, but facing Zhang Anping's question, he remained expressionless as usual:

"do not know."

Miao Fengxiang on the side widened his eyes, unable to believe that this was Xu Tian's answer.

He seemed to see the storm, the gale.

"I don't know?" Zhang Anping was stunned. Instead of getting angry as Miao Fengxiang had imagined, he asked, "Tell me the details."

"The Sixth Intelligence Group was destroyed. According to speculation, the only possible reason is She Haiwang's betrayal."

"The action team is still confused."

Xu Tian's voice was calm, but Zhang Anping, who was familiar with him, still sensed a sense of decadence from Xu Tian's words.

Zhang Anping took a deep breath, patted Xu Tian on the shoulder, and said:

"I know you are under pressure, but the most urgent task is to first determine which link has gone wrong. We will find out the problem and then deal with it."

Xu Tian's expression finally changed. After a sigh, he said:
"The Sixth Intelligence Group incident was very sudden, because the Sixth Intelligence Group was mainly involved in intelligence gathering within the concession. The Sixth Intelligence Group was never used in the two large-scale operations after you left. It couldn't have gone wrong during the operation, so we speculated that She Haiwang had betrayed us."

"The Action Team... I sent people to investigate, but there is no evidence to prove that there is something wrong with our people."

Xu Tian did not mention the problem with the internal nails of No. 76.

Zhang Anping had been working with Xu Tian for so long that when Xu Tian finished speaking, he was acutely aware of the hidden meaning behind his words:
"Do you have any guesses?"

Xu Tian did not hide it: "The action team's frequency of action is too high, which may be the reason for the problem."

The Sixth Intelligence Group, the Action Group and the spies within No. 76 all encountered accidents at almost the same time, and the losses were so large and tragic that Xu Tian's first reaction was that there was a traitor!

Although the Sixth Intelligence Group could not investigate, they were able to make a rough outline. However, the investigation by the Action Group was extremely strange - multiple action teams had problems, and there was no clue that could connect them!
In this case, there is only one explanation:
The Action Group, like the Sixth Intelligence Group, has a traitor!

The reason why the Sixth Intelligence Group must be a traitor is that according to the structure of the Military Intelligence Group, except for the group leader, it is impossible for others to know the situation of all the personnel in the intelligence group. The same logic can be proved:
There is a high possibility that there is something wrong with Shen Fei who broke through with injuries.

To be on the safe side, the seriously injured Shen Fei was placed under strict supervision.

But Xu Tian always felt that there should be no problem with Shen Fei, otherwise the action team would have suffered more than just heavy losses.

Therefore, he tended to believe that another possibility was that the high-intensity operation led to the action team being secretly caught by the enemy.

This is also the possibility that many thorns within No. 76 were isolated.

After all, in the battle with No. 76, these spies were unusually active. As undercover agents, once they were too active, even if the enemy could not target specific individuals, they would definitely be able to target the relevant leaking groups.

But this is speculation, there is no evidence at all.

Zhang Anping did not make a statement, but asked: "Is there any information coming from No. 76?"

"The arrested brothers and colleagues from the Sixth Intelligence Group and the Operations Group have not been through the hands of No. 76, and are currently all detained in the Military Police Prison."

"Those brothers who were isolated, they... seemed to have disappeared directly!"

Xu Tiandao:
"Chairman, I tend to think that the Japanese deliberately pushed No. 76 to the front to compete with us, and then secretly monitored our operations."

"No. 76, is he the bait pushed out by the Japanese?"

Zhang Anping muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Seeing Zhang Anping lost in thought, Xu Tian retreated silently. Miao Fengxiang, who was standing by, glanced at Xu Tian unhappily but ignored him - his dissatisfaction was very obvious.

Even though Zhang Anping was lost in thought, he kept an eye on his surroundings. After seeing Miao Fengxiang's performance, he stopped thinking and asked:

"Are you very dissatisfied with Deputy Station Master Xu?"

"Of course!" Miao Fengxiang answered without hesitation: "When the power of Shanghai was in your hands, there was no such mistake. The mess he made after taking over was too big!"

"I wonder why you don't blame him?"

Zhang Anping asked with amusement: "Why should I blame him?"

"Of course it was because of him that such a big mess was created! How many brothers died with regrets because of this?"

Miao Fengxiang said it as a matter of course.

"Then do you think Xu Tian made any mistakes during this period?"

Miao Fengxiang was stunned. He followed Zhang Anping closely. He knew everything Zhang Anping knew. Naturally, he knew that judging from the intelligence gathered from various aspects, Xu Tian had not made any mistakes.

But he still insisted: "But he caused such a big mess after all!"

"Yes, but he has caused such a big mess after all..." Zhang Anping repeated and shook his head:
"To be honest, even if I were to switch places with Xu Tian, ​​I would do what Xu Tian would do. If it were me, what happened this time would still be unavoidable."

"In that case, why should I blame him?"

Zhang Anping is telling the truth.

With the capabilities of the above military command, it has not yet been figured out which link went wrong. There is no clear evidence for either the so-called She Haiwang rebellion or the Shen Fei rebellion.

Yes, there is no clear evidence!
In other words, everything is still unclear, and Zhang Anping is unwilling to draw any conclusions before things become clear.

"Let's go meet Shen Fei."

……

This is a secret basement, which was converted into a slightly simple medical center.

But there are no beautiful nurses here, only a bunch of big and strong rough men.

Well, none of the wounded who have been here likes this dark and gloomy "hospital", but it is this "shady" hospital that has rescued one wounded soldier after another from the hands of death in the past few years.

At this time, Shen Fei was staying in a dark ward, staring at the darkness with a dazed look.

He couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong, causing his action team to suffer such a heavy blow. He even knew that he was among the suspects, and he even guessed:
Am I the traitor? Otherwise, why would the elite forces of the action team be wiped out at the same time?
Shen Fei felt heartbroken when he thought of those brothers who were either killed in battle or captured. They... were all very good soldiers!

He was seriously injured, but compared to the mental pain, what was the physical pain?
[What exactly... went wrong? ]

Shen Fei was screening the people around him one by one in his mind, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of anyone who could fully understand these secrets that only he knew.

Suddenly, the dim light came on, dispelling the darkness in the ward and revealing this small ward to everyone. Shen Fei adjusted to the light and saw the figure standing in front of him. He was so excited that he wanted to stand up:

"District, District Seat..."

Zhang Anping glanced at Shen Fei, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, and stretched out his hand to press him lightly: "Lie down."

"Your subordinates, your subordinates are incompetent! Your subordinates ..."

This man, who had jumped from Zheng Yaoxian to Zhang Anping before the Battle of Shanghai broke out, couldn't help but choke up at this moment.

Since the establishment of the special intelligence team, if Special Zone 1 is not counted, there has been only one failure during this period - and that failure was just a calculation by Xu Tian, ​​which seemed to have exposed Lin Nansheng's intelligence team, but it gained more.

That’s not a failure at all!
In other words, the failure of his action team was the first real failure of the special task force since its establishment.

Faced with the sudden sobbing of this tough guy, Zhang Anping just sighed slightly, then patted him across the quilt and whispered:

"Is there anyone you suspect?"

Shen Fei looked at Zhang Anping timidly and shook his head in embarrassment.

This was not surprising. After all, if he had a suspect, he would have told Xu Tian long ago.

"Just rest and recover, I'll take care of everything."

After Zhang Anping whispered these eight words, he turned and left, signaling to the secret agents guarding outside not to turn off the lights inside.

He went to the doctor on duty to learn about Shen Fei's injuries.

The doctor said that Shen Fei's gunshot wound was completely fatal. If he was lucky enough that the bullet went through his body, if it was half a centimeter off, he would have died.

But the word "luck" touched Zhang Anping's nerves. He had taken many risks relying on his world-class marksmanship, so he said:
"Could it be possible that this was done on purpose?"

The doctor was furious and talked a lot. The general meaning was nothing more than that Shen Fei was able to survive purely by luck. He had extensive burns and two bullet wounds that penetrated near his heart. He was able to survive only because his ancestors had been rebelling wildly underground.

Otherwise, the Black and White Impermanence would have taken the person away long ago!

After ruling out the possibility that the injury was self-staged from the doctor's words, Zhang Anping had to warn the other party not to spread his "idiotic" questions. He left only after getting the doctor's consent and met Ming Lou who had come specially to this underground hospital.

Compared to Xu Tian's calmness after having a clear conscience and his decadence after suffering a great setback, Ming Lou looked completely ashamed in his private space.

He is a very confident person, otherwise he wouldn't be dancing on the edge of a knife with multiple identities.

But this blow almost made him autistic.

"sorry."

The proud Minglou said his apology dejectedly.

Zhang Anping shook his head: "Sorry is the most useless word - I can accept failure, because we are in the heart of the enemy, and any accident is possible."

"But what puzzles me is that, up to now, we have no clue about the two complete failures, and all the conclusions are based on guesswork. Do you think this is normal?"

Minglou looked at Zhang Anping in surprise.

“Failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is that we don’t know how we failed from beginning to end!”

Zhang Anping looked solemn: "If we can't find the reason, if we can't find a reason that can make us feel completely at ease, then such failures will continue one after another!"

"In the intelligence battlefield in Shanghai, the Japanese can lose. It doesn't matter if they lose countless times. It's nothing more than dissecting a few people in charge and causing a lot of losses."

"But we can't do that. If we lose too many times, all our previous preparations will be wasted. What will we do in the future? We will be blind and will no longer have the advantages we have now!"

Zhang Anping's words were not alarmist. The most crucial reason why the Shanghai Military Control Commission had such a brilliant record was that it was deeply rooted in Shanghai. With multiple intelligence groups working in Shanghai, the Shanghai Military Control Commission had an extremely powerful intelligence network.

All actions of the action force are based on the influence of this intelligence network!
But Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese after all. Without the home advantage, the new forces of the Shanghai Military Control Commission have been extremely cautious and careful in their lurking in Shanghai since the end of the Battle of Shanghai. There are even "a large number of accounts being nurtured" to this day.

To put it bluntly, in order to ensure the safety of intelligence personnel, new members entering the intelligence network in Shanghai will not be awakened but will be slowly integrated.

The reason for this is that all intelligence forces that can take root in Shanghai are valuable!
If a few more failures like this happen, a large number of intelligence personnel will be exhausted, and the Shanghai Military Control Commission will be like a rootless duckweed.

By then, No. 76 will be enough to give him a headache.

Minglou knew the seriousness of the situation, but he didn't expect that in Zhang Anping's heart, the heavy blow this time was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that he hadn't found the cause. He secretly warned himself that he was impetuous because of this failure.

"Actually, I tend to agree with Xu Tian's judgment." Ming Lou spoke slowly:
"But this reason cannot be verified at all!"

Ming Lou said in a serious tone:
"If this is something Takeda did, taking advantage of the battle between No. 76 and us to find out our details, I still don't think the Japanese can do this."

Although the power of the strengthened Doihara Organization cannot be underestimated, there is one thing:
They are outsiders!

In Shanghai, they are outsiders. Even if they are newly recruited spies of Unit 76, they have wider channels.

"The spies of Doihara's organization must be able to control everything in secret. The pseudo police station and the Green Gang are obstacles that cannot be avoided."

“But I didn’t see that in the intelligence.”

The spies of Doihara's agency wanted to be the hidden enemy and secretly track down the suspects during the battle between Unit 76 and the Military Control Commission. They had to cooperate with the puppet police station and mobilize a large number of Green Gang spies.

It's impossible that there is no movement!
Minglou and Xu Tian are not fools. When they were fighting with No. 76, how could they not pay attention to the hungry wolf of the Japanese?

But the key point is that they did not receive any news, and then something happened to the Sixth Intelligence Group and the Action Group.

Zhang Anping simply said: "Prepare the information. I want to understand all the circumstances during this period from beginning to end."

"I've prepared everything. It's up to you." Minglou sounded discouraged when he said this.

……

Shanghai.

warehouse.

Shi Yimei was once again reading what She Haiwang had confessed.

There was so much that She Haiwang confessed, so much that the mysterious Shanghai Military Control System was presented to the Japanese and puppet forces in such detail for the first time. In the past, their understanding of the Shanghai Military Control System was based on various intelligence gathered together, many of which were untrue.

As an old veteran who joined the Shanghai District at the end of 38, She Haiwang is very familiar with the structure and personnel of the Shanghai Military Control Commission.

After watching She Haiwang's confession several times, Shi Yimei came to a conclusion:
fake!

This certainly does not mean that what She Haiwang confessed was false, but that she classified a bunch of files as "falsified".

And this pile of files are all about what Lin Nansheng confessed.

The destruction of Lin Nansheng's intelligence group was once the most brilliant achievement of the Japanese spy agency and No. 76 in Shanghai. However, based on She Haiwang's various explanations, Shi Yimei, who was familiar with these files, made the "ultimate" judgment:
fake!

Lin Nansheng's betrayal was fake!
After making this judgment, Shi Yimei's heartbeat accelerated wildly. She seemed to have found a clue that could destroy the Military Control Commission!
check!
Immediately, he began a secret investigation based on the intelligence provided by Lin Nansheng's intelligence team.

But after checking, a conclusion came to Shi Yimei's surprise:

All the people related to Lin Nansheng's intelligence team were either dead or rescued, and none survived.

"Lin Nansheng was killed by a bomb. His entire body was shattered to pieces."

"The captured intelligence officers were later rescued en masse in a major operation by the Military Control Commission."

Shi Yimei frowned after hearing this, and then asked, "Lin Nansheng had a wife named Zhu Yizhen, right? Wasn't she pregnant when Lin Nansheng died? What about her?"

The subordinate took out a flyer and handed it to Shi Yimei with both hands.

There were photos of two bodies on the flyer. Despite the pixelation, Shi Yimei still recognized that one of them was Lin Nansheng's wife Zhu Yizheng.

"After Lin Nansheng's death, the Military Control Commission sanctioned Zhu Yizhen and included her posthumous photo in a propaganda leaflet. For this reason, there was a lot of criticism against the Military Control Commission among the public, who believed that it was too much to harm a family member."

After hearing the answer from her subordinates, Shi Yimei couldn't help but frowned again, and then asked: "Who is the other woman?"

"Her name is Zeng Moyi, and she is the wife of Zhang Anping, the former director of No. 76..." the subordinate replied:
"After Zhang Anping's death, she worked at a gossip newspaper. After she met Zhu Yizhen, they lived together. They probably sympathized with each other and helped each other. When the Military Control Commission sanctioned them, they were both affected."

When the subordinate said this, he couldn't help but slander the cruelty of the Military Control Commission in his heart, saying, "Don't bring harm to your family at every turn!"

After hearing this, Shi Yimei felt something was wrong and she couldn't help but think about it. Suddenly she screamed, startling the spy waiting for orders.

But Shi Yimei didn't care and ordered, "Prepare the car. I want to go to the archives room of the Doihara Agency—right now! Right now!"

After a simple make-up, Shi Yimei left the French Concession by car, came to the Doihara Agency, and plunged into the archives room.

After searching for a while, she found a file that she had glanced at before.

Shi Yimei's frantic rummaging through the archives naturally reached the ears of Takeda Yoshihei. This subordinate who had made great contributions to him suddenly had such an abnormal reaction. Takeda always felt that there might be some discovery, so he came to the archives room to wait.

Just when his patience was about to run out, Shi Yimei screamed in surprise. Takeda stepped into the huge dusty archive room and approached Shi Yimei, who was covered in dust. Resisting the urge to ask, he said in a blaming tone:
"Miss Shi, you can just find someone else to do this dirty work, why do you have to make yourself like this?"

Shi Yimei was filled with ecstasy and handed a file to Takeda:
"Chief, look at this!"

Takeda took it curiously and started to read it, then gradually frowned: "Miss Shi, what do you mean?"

"Are you trying to say that the Military Control Commission is very disciplined?"

His tone was unkind.

Because this file is a bit embarrassing.

This file records an investigation report. The incident happened during the Battle of Shanghai. A child named Matsumoto Benjiro reported the resistance elements hiding next door and asked the Overseas Chinese Guard to kill all the resistance elements. It is said that the resistance elements saw the child when they were hiding, but ultimately chose not to kill him.

Compared to the Japanese devils who stabbed babies with bayonets, this behavior is so noble!
He paid the price for nobility with his life.

Shi Yimei ignored Takeda's displeasure and asked excitedly: "Then do you know how I survived?"

Shi Yimei survived because of Cai Jierong's obedience to discipline, and because she used the maid Wu Ma as a substitute!
"Miss Shi, what do you want to say?"

Shi Yimei then handed a leaflet to Takeda and said:
"Chief, look at this!"

Takeda looked at the flyer and his expression gradually became serious.

After a long time, he said:

"Were you investigating Lin Nansheng's defection to the Imperial Army?"

"Well - Lin Nansheng is very likely to have falsely surrendered. But I can't be sure - but this file and this leaflet make me certain that Lin Nansheng's surrender was false!"

Shi Yimei took a deep breath and said:
"There is no doubt that the Shanghai military has strict discipline - they basically have not done anything to harm their families."

"Did those few times really bring disaster to my family or..."

Shi Yimei’s words are not yet finished.

Takeda said: "Then follow this line of investigation?"

"All the clues related to Lin Nansheng's betrayal have been cut off." Shi Yimei shook her head, but then said seriously:

“But I found this!”

She pointed to another "body" on the flyer.

"who is she?"

"Zeng Moyi, wife of Zhang Anping, former director of No. 76!"

"Zhang Anping? I know him, he..."

"Zhang Anping is dead, and died in the same way as Lin Nansheng." Shi Yimei said a few words:

"No trace of the body remains - or rather, the body is destroyed and no trace is left!"

Takeda was stunned.

Who is Zhang Anping?
If No. 76 is compared to a dynasty, well, it would be disrespectful to use the Han Dynasty instead, then Zhang Anping is Emperor Guangwu!

After No. 76 was established and its first director was shot to death at close range, Zhang Anping took over No. 76 and "pulled" it back together.

"How can this be!"

Takeda said this subconsciously.

"Lin Nansheng must be a fake defector, otherwise the information he can give us is definitely higher than that of She Haiwang!"

Shi Yimei said affirmatively: "But what is the result?"

"Is his betrayal really that important?"

"Since Lin Nansheng's betrayal was fake, then Zhu Yizhen cannot be sanctioned by the Military Control Commission. If the Military Control Commission cannot sanction Zhu Yizhen, then why would they sanction Zeng Moyi?"

"The sanctions are fake, but rescuing and reasonably declaring him dead must be real. But since it was just for Zhu Yizhen, why did it affect Zeng Moyi as well?"

Shi Yimei's words made Takeda accept this reality, and when he accepted this reality, everything made sense.

For example, the style of No. 76.

For example, nail No. 76 is like leeks. You can cut them again and again, but they will grow again!
Because its "founder" was the Military Control Commission!
"Check Zhang Anping - I remember his family is in Pengpu Town, right?" Takeda asked back.

“It’s in the records.”

"Check immediately!"

Takeda's eyes turned red, not because he was touched, but because... he was ashamed.
If there really is something wrong with Zhang Anping, then... Japan's Shanghai spy agency is a joke!
……

Shi Yimei's investigation into Zhang Anping soon produced results.

There was no progress in Pengpu because the Zhang family moved away.

According to the local people in Pengpu, Zhang Anping died and the Zhang family fell into decline, so they moved away.

Then Shi Yimei ordered an investigation into Zhang Anping's ancestral home, and the investigation turned out to be just as Shi Yimei had imagined:
No such person found!

Zhang Anping had made preparations for his ancestral hometown, but it had already fallen and a considerable amount of time had passed, so the backup plan there had been cancelled. This was also the reason why Shi Yimei could easily find no such person.

Then it's all obvious:

Zhang Anping is from the Military Control Commission!
Everything fits together - why is the Military Intelligence Bureau so powerful in Shanghai, and why have the Japanese never been able to gain an advantage in the battles of the past three years? It’s because No. 76 was the foundation laid by the Military Intelligence Bureau agents!
When this result was presented to Takeda, he had only one thought:
Yoshimasa Fujita, Yoko Minami, you deserve to die!
It is more terrifying that Zhang Anping is a secret agent of the Military Control Commission than that Zhang Anping was the director of No. 76 and was turned against the government, because you have no idea how many people the Military Control Commission took the opportunity to plant in No. 76!
"No wonder No. 76 is a sieve..."

Takeda looked at Shi Yimei with a lucky look. If Shi Yimei had not made this secret move, if he had relied on No. 76, these things would have only disappeared in the mist of history!
But at this time, Shi Yimei made a guess that made Takeda doubtful:
"Director, Zhang Xiao... could it be Zhang Anping?"

Zhang Xiao is Zhang Anping?

The appearance of Zhang Xiao was like an antelope with a horn, leaving no trace, but if he was Zhang Anping, then everything made sense!

Because he wants to hide his true identity.

"Xiao? Does it mean knowing everything?"

Takeda said to himself: "This is truly a terrifying enemy!"

"Unfortunately... not now!"

Shi Yimei also smiled. When the mysterious enemy is no longer mysterious, it will no longer be scary! (End of this chapter)
