Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Hearing Zhang Anping's words, Old Dai was slightly startled, then nodded and said:
"Yes, now Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are in chaos."

Zhang Anping smiled, called Miao Fengxiang over and said to him: "Draft a telegram and send it to Xu Baichuan——"

He pondered and said: "The following content is top secret—"

"Brother Baichuan, please blow up all weapons and evacuate the battlefield immediately."

"Tomorrow, there will be thunder!"

"Brother Baichuan, you must obey this order."

"Just send it like this."

Miao Fengxiang looked at Zhang Anping in astonishment, unable to believe that Zhang Anping would issue such a military order.

Seeing that Miao Fengxiang's hand was still holding the pen, Zhang Anping said coldly:

"Send it to Xu Baichuan immediately."

Miao Fengxiang was startled: "Yes!"

Looking at Miao Fengxiang's hurriedly leaving, Zhang Anping's heart was still beating rapidly.

No one would have thought that at the moment he stood up, a thought flashed through his mind:
Capture Dai Chunfeng!
But he didn't end up doing that.

When Old Dai came to Shanghai, there must be someone who knew the truth. Even if he had set up the plan in a very sophisticated way, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of those who were interested, and the truth would surely be discovered in due course.

Unless he died immediately and his identity remained a mystery, this excuse would inevitably become a reason for the Nationalist government to attack the organization.

Zhang Anping thought of another way:
Resisting orders and not complying.

But Lao Dai appeared at the Songhu Command Headquarters of the Loyal Rescue Army. Unless he had a falling out with the enemy, it would be useless to disobey orders because Lao Dai's will would still be carried out.

So, he chose another approach:
procrastination!

According to the explanation given by Lao Xu, these things will be put into the bag in three days - although some arms will definitely be discovered during the next raid by the Japanese invaders, these are not a problem compared to the huge number.

In a split second, Zhang Anping chose to delay.

How to procrastinate?

The problem lies in the telegram.

The telegrams exchanged between Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan were not like those between the Kuomintang generals, where they would either address each other as Brother XX or Commander XX. Their habit was that one was Old Xu and the other was Old Brother, and they had never properly addressed each other as "Brother Baichuan" or "Dear Brother Anping".

In the telegram, Zhang Anping addressed Xu Baichuan as "Brother Baichuan", and the implication was already very obvious. Coupled with this inexplicable order, I believe Xu Baichuan would understand that this order was not his original intention.

In other words, Zhang Anping was hinting to Xu Baichuan:

Finish quickly!
As for the thunderbolt tomorrow, it was said to be for Xu Baichuan to see, but in fact it was for Miao Fengxiang - Miao Fengxiang was not there just now, but the content of the telegram was enough for him to understand many things.

And what is Miao Fengxiang’s identity?
It is true that he is Zhang Anping's adjutant, and also an undercover agent sent by Zhang Anping to infiltrate the underground party. However, as early as when he infiltrated the underground party, he had already chosen to return to his own beliefs.

This is also the reason why Zhang Anping deliberately let Miao Fengxiang infiltrate the underground party - and keeping such a thorn by his side was to serve as a warning at the critical moment.

"Uncle, drink some water."

Zhang Anping handed the cup to Lao Dai with a smile. He was smiling, but he was feeling very conflicted inside. Can Miao Fengxiang spread the message “There will be a thunder tomorrow”?

Will there be any consequences if I do this in front of Old Dai?

Zhang Anping was not sure, but he had to do it!

This is all that can be done.

Old Dai took the cup, but his eyes were always on Zhang Anping.

Why did he appear in Shanghai? Why did he appear at the Songhu Command Center as if in a surprise attack?
Isn't it because you are worried that your nephew will disobey your orders?

But everything went so smoothly that he felt like he had made an extra trip.

But this is definitely not my nephew's character.

He slowly took a sip of water, put the cup on the table, and said directly:
"Something's wrong! It's definitely not right. Are you up to something bad?"

He said to himself, "Are you planning a mutiny?"

He himself was amused by this whimsical idea.

Little did they know that Zhang Anping almost mutinied...

Zhang Anping smiled bitterly:

"Uncle, you've already appeared here, how can I not feel your attitude? Why are you here? Can't I guess?"

"I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Zhang Anping played the emotional card.

Upon hearing this, Old Dai couldn't help but put aside the doubts in his heart. He had real feelings for Zhang Anping, and as soon as Zhang Anping played the emotional card, he put aside the skeptical nature of his profession.

He sighed and said:
"Anping, I know this is too unethical - you know? The person who planned this even suggested that the Zhongjiu Army directly fire at the New Fourth Army. I know you can't accept this, so I didn't mention it at all."

"I know you are unwilling, I know you are angry, but who are we? We are different from others, we must..."

He pointed to the roof and said, "We must follow the instructions above. This is the first priority of the secret service."

"You are too stubborn. I am afraid you will cause an unmanageable situation!"

"Fortunately you didn't let me down!"

Old Dai was filled with emotion.

Zhang Anping smiled, his face full of bitterness.

Old Dai was really good to him.

But how can he remember the good things about Old Dai after what he did?

He could only respond with a wry smile.

Then he said with a bitter face:

"In ancient times, there was Lü Zi who crossed the river in plain clothes. Now, there is Zhang Shihao who betrays his loyalty. Ha, he is really imitating the ancients."

Why did Lu Meng's crossing the river in white clothes become infamous for eternity?
Because white clothes were a symbol of caravans at that time, in the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, the caravans wearing white clothes provided necessary commodity circulation for various countries.

All three countries followed the unspoken rule of protecting the caravans.

But Lu Meng used the white clothes as a cover and set a bad example.

If that were all, that would be fine, but who was Lu Meng attacking?
It’s Guan Yu of Shu Han!

Why did Guan Yu go on the expedition? Because he had allies behind him!

He confidently left his back to his allies.

They pretended to be a merchant caravan, attacked allies, and finally killed the commander-in-chief whom the Emperor of Shu Han regarded as a brother - Crossing the River in White Clothes, which was the worst interpretation of treachery.

The Japanese were shameless. When they attacked Pearl Harbor, they were still thinking about handing the declaration of war to the American ambassador before the bomb was dropped - although in the end they fought first and declared the war later.

Back to the topic, Zhang Anping's emotion at this time was actually acted.

Because he needs to use emotional cards to confuse Old Dai.

Hearing Zhang Anping's sigh, Old Dai couldn't help but pat Zhang Anping's hand and sighed, "You and I are indeed hawks and dogs. To be a hawk and dog, you must have the awareness of being a hawk and dog."

Zhang Anping still smiled bitterly, as if he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Old Dai felt a little reluctant, especially seeing Zhang Anping's extremely poor condition. Knowing that Zhang Anping had been immersed in this battle for days, he sighed and said, "Anping, I order you to get some sleep first - there is still a lot of time, and you are still young, don't ruin your body at will."

Zhang Anping wanted to drag Old Dai with him, but Old Dai glared at him, so he could only say:
"Uncle, you came all the way here just for me. It's only right that I settle you down first, right?"

Old Dai nodded.

After a lot of trouble, Zhang Anping dragged on for twenty minutes, and was finally scolded by Old Dai and asked to go to rest.

Old Dai was also tired, so he fell asleep in the room arranged by Zhang Anping, but after falling asleep, he suddenly got up.

"Wang Tianfeng!"

With a loud shout from Old Dai, Wang Tianfeng immediately appeared in the room.

"How does Anping usually call you?"

"Old Wang."

Upon hearing this, Old Dai punched the bed angrily:

"You bastard, you actually played tricks right under my nose!"

He reacted.

Zhang Anping asked his men to send the telegram in front of him. He didn't think much about it at the time, and he was kept being dragged by Zhang Anping and had no time to think about it, but at this moment he suddenly understood.

Brother Baichuan?
Damn it, damn it!
Seeing that he was called Lao Dai, how could he send a message seriously using Brother Baichuan's address?
He got out of bed angrily and shouted angrily:
"Bring this bastard over here!"

"Go straight to the telecommunications room!"

Old Dai came to the telecommunications room angrily, and as soon as he entered the room, he gave an order with his eyes wide open:
"Contact Xu Baichuan immediately!"

Everyone in the telecommunications room looked at each other. Although everyone stood up in fear, no one went to carry out the order.

Shanghai, Zhang Anping's one-third acre of land has never been nonsense. In the Songhu Command Center, who can give orders except Zhang Anping?

Snapped

Old Dai slammed the table angrily: "Assholes! Are you all going to rebel?" The person in charge of the telecommunications room said stiffly: "Director, sending a message requires the life of the district commander..."

Old Dai said coldly, "My orders don't work?"

He wanted to kill someone. Zhang Anping had done something to him right under his nose. He felt so aggrieved. Now he was being ignored by his subordinates. He just wanted to kill someone.

"Send it - whether it's the Beijing-Shanghai District or the Loyal Rescue Army, the Director's orders take precedence over mine. This is an iron rule. Do you understand?"

Zhang Anping's voice came from the suite, and then he walked out.

He was not brought here. Apparently, he had guessed that Old Dai would react, so he was waiting here early.

He didn't let Old Dai kill people on his territory to vent his anger.

Everyone in the telecommunications room immediately became busy as if they had been pardoned.

Dai Chunfeng looked at his nephew who came out of the telecommunications room suite and said with hatred:
"Good, good, good! Zhang Anping, you are very good!"

"Someone, take this bastard down for me!"

The first sentence is a huge compliment, while the second sentence is critical of the person.

Zhang Anping spread out his hands and allowed Lao Dai's personal guards to capture him.

Old Dai wanted to slap Zhang Anping twice, but he stopped the impulse.

His nephew’s words just now made him feel comfortable. Although he guessed that his nephew did it on purpose, was it really that comfortable?

"You've become more capable! You've become more capable!"

Old Dai looked at Zhang Anping hatefully, and all kinds of negative emotions such as annoyance, regret, and anger came up again.

I knew clearly that this bastard was extremely stubborn, I knew it clearly, so I came all the way to Shanghai. But this bastard played tricks in front of me and actually fooled me!

Zhang Anping lowered his head, as if accepting the punishment.

Because he knew that Old Dai was about to explode.

Sure enough, Old Dai exploded.

Because the telegraph operator stood up and said weakly:
"Commander, District Commander, there is no response from the headquarters radio. It must be silent."

Silence - this is a modified expression, which can be understood as:
Shut down!
"Xu Baichuan, you're so brave!"

"Zhang Anping, you are looking for death!"

Old Dai was so angry that he jumped up and started cursing.

They are really a pair of good brothers, they are really a pair of good brothers!
Zhang Anping's only trace of worry completely disappeared, and he now had only one thought:
Should I pretend to be unconscious or should I pretend to be unconscious?

While he was thinking, the furious Old Dai finally stopped caring about his nephew's face, rushed up and slapped Zhang Anping several times in anger.

Zhang Anping:
[Calling the system, I'm going to faint! ]

Satisfy you.

Zhang Anping's body softened and he collapsed to the ground.

It is very easy for spies to detect whether someone is pretending to be unconscious or really unconscious. The former will subconsciously protect themselves, but the latter will just become limp like a puddle of mud, without any self-protection at all.

Zhang Anping was really unconscious. If it weren't for the quick action of Lao Dai's guard, his head would have hit the corner of the table.

Before he fell into a coma, Zhang Anping said to himself:
A faint can relieve all worries...

……

Xinggong Town.

The Zhongjiu Army blocked the rear of the position.

Command.

Xu Baichuan looked at the telegram in his hand, and an indescribable feeling of powerlessness swept over his body.

No wonder the Japanese invaders could easily withdraw troops from the front.

It turned out that both he and Anping had been deceived.

The higher-ups never thought of joining forces with the New Fourth Army to seize so many military equipment and supplies!
From the beginning to the end, the higher-ups harbored ill will towards the New Fourth Army!
He wanted to order:
Retreat, I quit!
But he couldn't do it.

From the early morning of the 2nd to now, the Zhongjiu Army and the New Fourth Army have accomplished the impossible and created a rare miracle.

Now, we have built the mountain to its full height, how can we fail at the last moment?
"Anping, you're not willing to give up either!"

Looking at the address given to him in the telegram, Xu Baichuan knew that Zhang Anping was hinting at him.

Do it?

If he did it, with Zhang Anping's identity, he should be fine, but it's hard to say for himself, he might become the scapegoat;
If you don’t do it, then withdraw!
He would not blow up ordnance, nor would he leave without saying goodbye.

But even if the friendly forces were informed, without the combat capability of more than 7,000 Loyal Rescue Army soldiers, how could the New Fourth Army stop tens of thousands of ferocious enemy troops?
The only ending is failure!
It clearly created a miracle in the history of war.

"Do!"

Xu Baichuan slammed the telegram on the table and his expression became resolute. In just five days, four thousand soldiers under his command had died on the battlefield, and countless friendly troops had sacrificed their lives. How could he give up so easily?

If I give up, can I live with my conscience?

If we give up, will we be worthy of the countless people on this land who participated in the transportation under the mobilization of the underground party?
If a person is naive, he might think about persuading his superior, but Xu Baichuan is not naive. Why did Zhang Anping act first and report later?
Why send such a suggestive telegram?

Because it's impossible to be convinced!

"Turn off the radio immediately. Do not turn it on without my order!"

"Order all units to continue to hold their ground! Do not evacuate without my order, otherwise... I will kill you all!"

"Please contact Mi Gu of the New Fourth Army on the phone. I have something to talk to him about!"

At this moment, Xu Baichuan made up his mind.

At this moment, Xu Baichuan decided to fight for his conscience.

……

Shanghai.

Miao Fengxiang, panting, found his superior.

"Comrade Xi Yan, something has happened, something serious has happened!"

Miao Fengxiang looked extremely panicked.

Seeing this, his superior, Cen Weiyan, immediately said, "Don't be anxious, drink some water and speak slowly."

Cen Yuyan's heart was pounding. Miao Fengxiang shouldn't have come directly to him, but if he came directly to him, it would mean one thing:

Zhang Anping was unable to get away, so he could only use hints to activate Miao Fengxiang.

This is also the only channel for him and Zhang Anping to contact each other urgently.

"It's too late! It's too late!"

Miao Fengxiang was so anxious that he wanted to cry. He punched himself hard and calmed himself down before he said:

"Zhang Anping wants to attack the New Fourth Army!"

"He wants to attack our comrades!"

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Cen Yanyan responded instinctively, and then asked: "What's going on?"

"Dai Chunfeng came to the Songhu Command Center, and then Zhang Anping sent a telegram to Xu Baichuan..."

Miao Fengxiang quickly repeated the contents of the telegram.

When Cen Yuyan heard these telegrams, he immediately realized Zhang Anping's plan. He was hinting at Xu Baichuan on the one hand, and at the same time conveying a message to himself through Miao Fengxiang.

Will there be thunder tomorrow?
Thunder tomorrow?

Does it mean that the Loyalists will withdraw?
No, no, no, this is not thunder, this is not thunder.

As he paced back and forth, he soon thought of the meaning of tomorrow's thunder - Zhang Anping had always been worried that the New Fourth Army headquarters and the accompanying evacuating troops would be targeted by the Kuomintang, and had always told himself that he must convey the matter of preventing Kuomintang attacks to the organization.

So, the thunder means that the Kuomintang will take action against the military?

Yes, yes, yes, that must be the case.

Cen Yuyan was certain that this was what Zhang Anping wanted to convey - the Kuomintang took advantage of the lack of cooperation between the Zhongjiu Army and the New Fourth Army to force the military headquarters and troops to move north. The organization has confirmed that the Kuomintang has abolished its ill will towards the military and is concentrating all its efforts on sharing the pressure for the Zhongjiu Army's actions.

But everything is fake. Reactionaries are reactionaries. They have undying desire to destroy us and have harbored malicious intent from the very beginning!
After confirming this, Cen Yiyan decided to alert the organization immediately.

"Comrade Fengxiang, you don't have to go back. I will arrange for someone to take you out of Shanghai."

Miao Fengxiang shook his head: "Comrade Yan, I left the Songhu Command Center in the name of inspection, no one will doubt it!"

Cen Yuyan thought about it and agreed with Miao Fengxiang's statement - with Zhang Anping's protection, Miao Fengxiang would not be in danger.

"Then go back quickly."

"It must be conveyed to the organization that the Kuomintang cannot be trusted!"

Miao Fengxiang gave some special instructions before leaving.

As soon as he left, Cen Yuyan immediately left and went to the secret radio station to send a warning telegram to the organization.
