Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

1941 4 Month 17 Day.

Zhang Anping set out from Chongqing again, heading for his own "one acre and three points of land".

But compared to when he came back alone, this time when he left, the lineup was unusually large - it felt like building another Shanghai station.

However, Zhang Anping would naturally not really take such a group of people away with him - if he really did so, the Japanese would probably attack him five, six, seven or eight times before he even reached Shanghai.

So he made several arrangements.

The arrangements for students are:
"The trainees will be divided into 30 groups, each with three to four people. Each group will be allocated 200 yuan in funding. I don't care what method you use, but you must report to the Songhu Command Center in Shanghai in two months."

Two months, from Chongqing to Shanghai?

You’ve climbed to this point, right?

The first batch of graduates of the Xibutang training class couldn’t believe that there would be such a simple task!

It’s a pity that they don’t know that Xu Zhongyi has always called Zhang Anping Zhang Kengkeng, otherwise he would never be so proud at this time.

Sure enough, when their 30 teams were about to set off, someone sent them a task - each team needed to "check in" in five or six cities. If they gave up, they could contact the local Military Control Commission in that city, but this also meant that the assessment arranged by Zhang Anping had failed.

Zhang Anping explained the reason for doing so:

These people are special political personnel. Their tasks are extremely important. If they cannot even pass the assessments they have arranged, there is no need for them to continue to be special political personnel.

When they arrived in each city, they needed to use extremely scarce clues to find the traces of the local Military Control Commission, which was very important for the agents.

But in fact, Zhang Anping did this for another reason:
It took them two months to rediscover this suffering country. Once someone began to question his ultimate mission, there would not be much time left for him to move towards the light.

Of course, he can also use this to distinguish the most dazzling gold inside.

In short, it is clear that the "good days" are coming for these students who were recruited by Zhang Anping with great difficulty.

Zheng Yi is the chief examiner of this assessment. She will lead an intelligence team of more than ten people and be responsible for assessing these 30 groups along the way. This is also a test for Zheng Yi. With the strength of only a dozen people, she will have to assess, track and assign tasks to thirty groups, which will test her scheduling ability.

As for technical personnel such as Yu Beiping, they were divided into four groups and escorted by the elite personnel from the Shanghai Station brought by Shen Fei. Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan were in a group of two and rushed to Shanghai along the river as employees of a trading company.

A small incident occurred during this period - when a spy captain was pulling a group of suspicious people over for inspection at the dock, he happened to meet Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan who were entering the dock.

The spy captain was terrified, thinking, I can't be so unlucky, right? Have they found Zhang's men again?

Sadly, not this time.

After Zhang Anping gave some words of encouragement to the spy captain who recognized him, he left with Xu Baichuan - when they appeared again, they were both dressed as crew members.

The boat was moving quickly on the river. Zhang Anping sighed as he looked at Chongqing getting farther and farther away.

He lied to Xiao Xixi and said he was just going to work. He didn't know how the little guy would cry when he couldn't wait for him at night!
Seeing Zhang Anping staring at Chongqing, Xu Baichuan joked, "You're thinking about your wife right after you start walking?"

Zhang Anping counterattacked: "At least I have a wife to think about, what about you?"

Xu Baichuan touched his heart and silently stepped aside.

After the two of them laughed and joked for a while, Xu Baichuan got down to business:

"Before I left, I received a telegram recording Lao Wang's behavior in Shanghai. I felt something was not right."

"How to say?"

Xu Baichuan looked at the waves coming from the stern and said in a serious tone:

"He is cleaning out your old troops."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "The message you received was a little delayed!"

"I'm telling you something serious - does he want to challenge you to a duel?"

Xu Baichuan said with some concern: "Xu Tian is your best confidant, but Lao Wang actually removed him from his position as stationmaster without consulting him first. I don't think that's right."

Seeing that Zhang Anping did not respond, he continued, "I am a little confused about the director's order - why didn't he transfer Old Wang and insist on making him the deputy director of the Beijing-Shanghai District? And this was after Xu Tian was fired as the station chief by Old Wang without his permission."

Zhang Anping still smiled, and Xu Baichuan said dissatisfiedly: "Did the director say anything to you?"

"Nothing..." Zhang Anping shook his head, but said something inexplicably:

"Old Wang is actually a good person, but... he is too cruel."

Too cruel?
Xu Baichuan looked confused, but Zhang Anping was no longer willing to continue the topic.

Seeing Zhang Anping like this, Xu Baichuan knew that Zhang Anping knew what was going on, so he stopped dwelling on the topic.

It would be difficult for Dai Chunfeng to compete with Zhang Anping in Zhang Anping's territory, let alone Wang Tianfeng. He just didn't want to see such a bad thing happen in the Beijing-Shanghai area, so he wanted to test Zhang Anping's mind in advance to prevent Zhang Anping from killing Wang Tianfeng.

After all, once the two start fighting for power, the entire Beijing-Shanghai area will be in trouble.

Zhang Anping looked lifelessly at the calm river surface. Old Dai never told him anything about Wang Tianfeng from beginning to end.

But Wang Tianfeng suddenly started to purge his own people, which was unscientific in every way - before and during the Battle of Shanghai, Wang Tianfeng had cooperated with him and even held the position of district mayor of Shanghai, but Wang had never done such a thing.

Now that he suddenly did this kind of thing, combined with the situation in the original time and space, Zhang Anping could guess with his eyes closed that that bastard Wang Tianfeng was probably going to do something weird again.

This guy will never give up until he achieves his goal, and he is even willing to use his own life as a bargaining chip. I wonder... what kind of trouble he is going to cause this time!

There was no conversation along the way. After several transfers, Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan returned to Shanghai smoothly.

Xu Baichuan did not go into the city, but went to the Songhu Command Center. He wanted to contact the Zhongjiu Army through the Songhu Command Center and take over the power system of the Zhongjiu Army again - he, Commander Xu, was like a tiger returning to the mountains and a dragon returning to the sea!

As for Zhang Anping, he went to Wang Tianfeng's residence as soon as he returned to Shanghai.

……

Zhang Anping often talks about "my own little piece of land", and he is not exaggerating. The confidentiality level of Wang Tianfeng's residence is quite high, but so what?

Zhang Anping is the king in Shanghai, and nothing in Shanghai Station can be hidden from him!

When he entered Wang Tianfeng's residence, Old Wang was not there, so Zhang Anping leisurely lay down on the sofa and dozed off until Wang Tianfeng, dressed in businessman's clothes, appeared at around nine o'clock in the evening.

The moment he turned on the light, Wang Tianfeng suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Zhang Anping who was dozing on the sofa.

He was frightened. From the moment he entered the room, he didn't notice anyone coming. It was not until he turned on the light and caught a glimpse of a figure lying on the sofa that his whole body became alarmed and he pulled out his hidden pistol without hesitation.

Zhang Anping, who was pointed at by a gun, said slowly: "Don't shake your hands, I can't avoid the bullet."

Wang Tianfeng finally let go of his worry. After looking at Zhang Anping, he put the pistol back to its original place.

"You came."

As he spoke, he hung up his hat, walked over to sit down opposite Zhang Anping, and looked at Zhang Anping without any sadness or joy.

"You should say this to me with a smile, so that it fits your words and deeds, and also fits the situation you want to create—" Zhang Anping stretched himself and sat up, yawned and said:

"You've lost six of my most capable men one after another. It must be hard for you these days, right?"

Shanghai Station is Zhang Anping's base. If Wang Tianfeng honestly serves as the acting district chief of the Beijing-Shanghai district and does not interfere in the personnel affairs of Shanghai Station, Shanghai Station will definitely obey any of his orders unconditionally.

But Wang Tianfeng acted as if he wanted to purge, which naturally stirred up a hornet's nest. From the moment Xu Tian was fired, Wang Tianfeng's orders became ineffective at the Shanghai Station.

Not to mention Shanghai Station, even other station groups in the Beijing-Shanghai area were also watching at this time.

[Fuck, this madman wants to raid Zhang Shihao's lair? Isn't this like an old man eating arsenic! ]

This is what Zhang Anping refers to as “difficult to move forward”.

Wang Tianfeng said calmly: "In ancient times, your behavior was called warlord separatism."

Zhang Anping sneered and said, "Don't talk about ancient times. We were like this a few years ago. The commander knows whether I am a seceder or not."

Wang Tianfeng remained silent. He understood that the reason why Zhang Anping had such a separatist situation was mainly because of his great prestige, but separatism was often accompanied by the fact that people obey orders but not announcements, and this had never happened in the Beijing-Shanghai area.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" The tired look on Zhang Anping's face faded away, and he said solemnly:

"You, Wang Tianfeng, are not a person who is greedy for power. You knew that I was coming back soon, but you took advantage of the incident of the monitoring team to cause such a scene. Why?"

Wang Tianfeng said calmly: "I want to compete with you for the power in the Beijing-Shanghai region."

Zhang Anping laughed: "Do I look like a three-year-old child?"

Wang Tianfeng leaned over, picked up the teacup in front of Zhang Anping, drank it all in one gulp, and then said:
"This is my business, I just need your cooperation."

Zhang Anping responded sharply: "In Shanghai, you can't do anything without my approval!"

Wang Tianfeng became discouraged when he heard Zhang Anping's words. Yes, in Shanghai, he really could not do anything without the approval of Zhang Anping, the local tyrant.

"I have a battle plan that needs to be given to the Japanese, and they also need to believe in it unconditionally."

Wang Tianfeng explained why he did this:

"I want to personally deliver this battle plan to the Japanese."

"You and I fought fiercely, and then you were forced to run away by Zhang Shihao - Jiang Gan stole the book?" Zhang Anping laughed: "Old Wang, you really underestimated the Japanese devils."

"In this corner of Shanghai, the Japanese will look at everything with a microscope if it has anything to do with the name Zhang Shihao. Jiang Gan's self-torture tactics like stealing books won't work."

"I know."

"You knew this but you still did it?" Zhang Anping's eyes darkened. "Or do you want to risk your life to convince the Japanese?"

At this point, Zhang Anping took a deep breath and his eyes began to turn cold:
"Whose life is being taken?!"

Wang Tianfeng said calmly: "Xu Tian."

A cold expression appeared on Zhang Anping's face:

"Can you sell my people whenever you want?"

Wang Tianfeng stared at Zhang Anping blankly: "His father was an underground party member and died on April 12."

Zhang Anping's expression remained unchanged: "I know!"

"His father-in-law is an underground party member."

"I know too."

"His wife, your student Tian Dan, has also become an underground party member." Wang Tianfeng's eyes were fixed on Zhang Anping.

"I know." Zhang Anping replied indifferently, then stood up and leaned over with his head close to Wang Tianfeng, almost looking him in the eye, and then said in a cold voice:
"I know everything that happens under my nose!"

Wang Tianfeng asked back: "What about Xu Tian?"

"I'm not sure if he is, but as long as I'm here, even if he is, he can't be!" Zhang Anping looked proud, and then said: "You'd better not make random moves on my chess game."

"Then let him be the abandoned one."

"Impossible!" Zhang Anping said without question:

"Tian Dan and the people behind her are related to my future plans. No one in their family can get into trouble."

"Also, Shanghai is my territory, Zhang Anping! Wang Tianfeng, don't even think about making moves on my chessboard at will!"

Wang Tianfeng leaned back slightly, and Zhang Anping withdrew his head from where he was "facing" Wang Tianfeng, and sat down on the sofa.

It was obvious that Wang Tianfeng gave in.

In this confrontation, he tried to use Xu Tian's unknown identity to "persuade" Zhang Anping. Of course, this "persuasion" must also include subsequent plans, such as reporting the matter to the bureau headquarters.

But Zhang Anping refused firmly.

You can't make any moves at will on my chess game. This is also Zhang Anping's attitude to Wang Tianfeng - even if you report it to the headquarters of the bureau, I am not afraid, because everything is under my control.

If someone else said this, Wang Tianfeng would think it was bluffing, but the person in front of him was Zhang Anping!
He knew very well that Zhang Anping was best at long-term planning, so he didn't think Zhang Anping was bluffing.

So, he backed off.

After a moment of silence, he said, "The battle plan in my hand must be handed over to the Japanese."

Zhang Anping said without any pressure: "Leave this to me."

Wang Tianfeng stretched out his finger: "Only one month."

"What exactly happened?"

"Commander Gu personally assigned me this mission. The entire plan is a combat plan to lure the enemy deep into our territory. The Third War Zone intends to use this to solve the problem of the Japanese army always eyeing Shangrao."

Zhang Anping laughed: "When the perfect opportunity was right in front of us, we resolutely threw it away!"

"Now... now you understand?"

Wang Tianfeng knew that Zhang Anping was talking about the Southern Anhui Incident. Zhang Anping had used the Zhongjiu Army and the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu to create an excellent opportunity. Unfortunately, in order to please their superiors, the Third War Zone concentrated all its efforts on dealing with the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui.

Wang Tianfeng frowned and said, "If you don't do it, I'll do it."

"I'll do it! You're unconventional and never give up until you achieve your goal! One Xu Tian is definitely not enough - I have accumulated some property, and you don't feel bad for selling your father's land, so how dare I let you do it?"

After Zhang Anping complained angrily, he asked curiously, "Tell me how many people you plan to sacrifice?"

Some people speak with their mouths shut. When Zhang Anping said the words "I will do it", Wang Tianfeng knew that Zhang Anping would do his best to get things done!

Even if Zhang Anping looked unserious the next second.

He admitted that Zhang Anping could definitely do better than him. If even Zhang Anping couldn't do it well, he, Wang Tianfeng, would definitely not be able to do it either.

At this moment, he was no longer under pressure. Facing Zhang Anping's question, he answered without hesitation: "Three."

"Who else?"

"Minglou."

Zhang Anping's mouth twitched. Isn't this a dead spy plan?

"There's another one...it's not you, is it?"

Wang Tianfeng remained silent, and Zhang Anping said with a gloomy face:

"Old Wang, you are a lunatic!"

"No one can't die." Wang Tianfeng said indifferently: "So many of us have died, is there anyone who can't die?"

"Go away, I don't talk to lunatics - if you want to stay in Shanghai, stay and be my assistant. If you don't want to stay, get out of here! I'll take care of the rest. I hate your way of throwing away lives at every turn."

Pile of lives?

Wang Tianfeng was silent. Yes, his plan, after all, was to heap lives. He said three people would die, but if it was really carried out, the number of deaths would be far more than three.

"Let me be your deputy."

"Okay - go get me a cup of tea."

Zhang Anping had a smug look on his face, and Wang Tianfeng picked up the teacup and stood up expressionlessly.

Looking at the other person's back, the smile on Zhang Anping's face did not diminish at all. Finally, he lazily lay down in the arms of the sofa and muttered:
"Don't bother me, I'll think it over..."

Wang Tianfeng brought the new tea and sat down quietly waiting. (End of this chapter)
