Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 591: Right or Wrong, You Can Say What You Want

(Because I had abandoned a chapter, I forgot to change the number of the previous 59 chapters, and made another mistake. I bow, bow, and bow again.)
The Shanghai press published a news item with similar content the next day.

After this news was released, it instantly caused an uproar in all walks of life in Shanghai.

"Slander! This is blatant slander by the Japanese!"

"The Japanese are starting to throw mud at will!"

"The Japanese devils couldn't do anything to General Zhang, so they started to spread rumors using such despicable means. They deserve to be killed, they deserve to be killed!"

People from all walks of life in Shanghai absolutely did not believe this news, but what could they do in the face of the high-pressure rule of the Japanese?
However, after studying the Japanese news, the press in the concession realized that the news was very true. In addition, the name Zhang Shihao was very well-known in Shanghai, so they immediately launched an investigation.

Normally, the Japanese would have put up all kinds of obstacles to such an investigation, but this time they welcomed foreign journalists to come and investigate.

Through investigation, reporters immediately determined that the news released by the Japanese this time was not fake news, and it was indeed suspected that Zhang Shihao was using betrayal to harm his political enemies.

With the halo of his past achievements, Zhang Shihao's heroic image is extremely solid. Now that something like this has happened, these foreign reporters are eager to use it as a gimmick to report it extensively. In addition, this is a true story, so the next day's concession news published the investigation reports of their respective reporters.

Newspapers with a bit of moral integrity would at least use the word "suspect", but some unscrupulous concession newspapers directly published the news in a conclusive way: "Zhang Shihao used the enemy's hands to eliminate political opponents."

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and the people of Shanghai were filled with disappointment towards this hero who had made them proud for years.

In fact, not only the people of Shanghai, but even many people at Shanghai Station itself have become shaken.

……

Ito Agency.

Ito Masashi checked the various feedbacks, and the smile on his face never faded.

"Director, the news is spreading at an unimaginable speed. I'm sure it won't take a few days for the Kuomintang-controlled areas to report it extensively. Should we add fuel to the fire?"

To add fuel to the fire?
Ito was tempted, but immediately shook his head and rejected it:

"No, Zhang Shihao is a scheming man. This time we are using public opinion to ruin his reputation. He was caught off guard, but with his strategy, he will definitely fight back. If we add fuel to the fire, it is very likely that we will run into Zhang Shihao's prepared trap. Then we will end up losing more than we gain!"

If it were a spy who had never met Zhang Shihao, he would naturally slander his superiors for being cowardly. However, the spies of the Shanghai secret service agency, who had witnessed one chief after another go from ambitious to depressed, would naturally not think so. After listening to Ito's words, they could not help but say sincerely:

"With the chief leading us, sooner or later, Zhang Shihao will become a prisoner!"

Ito smiled reservedly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't say such things anymore. Although we can't add fuel to the fire in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, we can continue to stir up this news in the territories occupied by the Empire."

"As long as the news is hot enough, I think there should be someone in the KMT-controlled areas who can help us solve the problem of adding fuel to the fire."

The subordinate immediately flattered him: "The chief is wise."

……

It’s no wonder that Ito’s understanding of China is not in vain.

Although he did not choose to use his power in the Kuomintang-controlled areas to add fuel to the fire, as the news continued to be hyped, after the news reached Chongqing, some people actually took the initiative to add fuel to the fire.

The one who added fuel to the fire was naturally Zheng Yaoquan, who had left the Military Control Commission and became the deputy director of the Second Department of the Military Affairs Department of the Family Planning Commission (JSWYH).

Originally, Old Dai secretly ordered his men to suppress the news - the move to suppress the news also received help from the Central Bureau of Investigation. With the two major spy agencies taking action, no matter how hot the news was in the enemy-occupied area, it was easily suppressed in the end.

The Second Department of the General Staff is also responsible for intelligence. Although it is more inclined to intelligence analysis and military intelligence (such as enemy organization, information on enemy troop commanders, etc.), it does have its own small but complete intelligence system.

After the Second Bureau obtained the hot news from the enemy-occupied areas, Zheng Yaoquan secretly took action in Chengdu, and Chengdu was the first to publish the news. With Chengdu's first release, the news media, which was suppressed by the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission, suddenly "exploded", and reprinted the news and commented on it.

Although people's prejudice against spies cannot be said to be innate, the nature of spies is destined to make them unpopular. When this news began to spread like wildfire in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, people from all walks of life began to criticize Zhang Shihao. Many people even compared Zhang Shihao with the captain, and then commented that Zhang Shihao was a typical example of betrayal in the Republic of China, secretly mocking someone.

Under this trend of public opinion, two troops began to suspect Zhang Shihao.

The newly formed 88th Division and the 1st Air Defense Division of the National Revolutionary Army in Chongqing - these two units had never doubted Zhang Shihao, and were not afraid of verbal battles with others over it.

Unfortunately, in the general trend, their voices are almost inaudible.

……

Chongqing, Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"Commander, I'm afraid Zhang Shihao is doomed this time!"

Someone said to Xu Rongzeng: "Should we stop cooperating with him?"

"Idiot!" Xu Rongzeng cursed. "Others are stupid because they have never dealt with Zhang Shihao. They don't know what kind of person this bastard is. How many times have we dealt with Zhang Shihao? Have you ever seen this bastard suffer a loss?"

The subordinate was confused by Xu Rongzeng's sudden scolding. Although he did not dare to talk back, he said in his heart:
Even after all this has happened, can Zhang Shihao still make a comeback?
Xu Rongzeng said unhappily, "If there really was a chance to hammer that bastard Zhang Shihao to death, I would be the first to swing the hammer and hit him tens of thousands of times to vent my anger - I don't know what this bastard is planning this time, he definitely has no good intentions!"

Having said that, his eyes rolled and he suddenly had an idea.

He instructed his men: "Go down and tell all of us to declare to the public that Zhang Shihao is innocent and that he would never betray his own people!"

"what?"

My subordinates were stunned. The whole world is condemning Zhang Shihao for selling out his comrades for power. As competitors, it would be unreasonable for us not to add insult to injury. How could we actually support him?
Are your brains showing off?
"Ah what? Didn't you understand what I just said?"

"I understand. I will pass it on now. All the people in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will unanimously declare that Zhang Shihao is a bastard who is..."

"Fuck you—is that what you can call me?"

Xu Rong became even more furious. He cursed and shouted before his men hurried out:

"and many more--"

The subordinate turned his head with a sad face.

Xu Rongzeng instructed again: "Find a way to spread rumors in the Military Control Commission. Make sure they scold Zhang Shihao. Do you understand?"

A lot of question marks appeared in the subordinate's forehead, but he was afraid that Xu Rongzeng would scold him again, so he answered and left quickly.

After his men left, Xu Rongzeng held his chin and muttered:

"Zhang Shihao, Zhang Shihao, this time, you should thank me properly, right?"

……

Military Command Headquarters.

The secretary is reporting the current public opinion to Dai Chunfeng:
"Boss, the public opinion of Chief Zhang has deteriorated to the extreme overnight. Some people have already started to call for severe punishment of Chief Zhang in the newspapers."

"In addition, many people in the bureau have many complaints against Chief Zhang because of this."

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand: "The problem within the bureau is not serious. When the truth comes out, they will naturally understand how stupid they were in the past."

Zhang Anping did not explain anything to Dai Chunfeng, but after hearing the news, Dai Chunfeng had only one thought:
Hey, this bastard is digging a big hole again, right?
He was not worried at all that his nephew would get into trouble, because he knew his nephew too well, and he also knew Wang Tianfeng too well. Although his nephew attached great importance to the Shanghai Station and kept saying "my little piece of land" all the time, he understood that in fact his nephew cared more about being able to deal with the Japanese devils.

Wang Tianfeng was not a power-seeking person, which was why he was confident in letting Wang Tianfeng take charge of the Beijing-Shanghai area. After Zhang Anping returned to Shanghai, he was worried that Wang Tianfeng would restrain his nephew, and originally wanted to transfer Wang Tianfeng away, but his nephew said it was absolutely impossible.

In this situation, will the two of them fight for power and profit and end up with Zhang Anping betraying Wang Tianfeng?
joke!

It was definitely a huge trap, so he was not in a hurry. He even hoped that someone would take the opportunity to seduce Zhang Anping. He was not afraid even if he had to seduce his nephew in the attendant's room.

If he wasn't worried that his rash actions would affect Zhang Anping's layout, Old Dai would even want to spread the word that he would severely punish Zhang Shihao!

Seeing Dai Chunfeng like this, the secretary had a clue in his mind, so he said, "Boss, according to the investigation, this evil wind should have blown from the second hall."

"Hall 2? Zheng Yaoquan, right?"

Old Dai chuckled and didn't care. Ever since Mao Renfeng successfully took over the post of the chief secretary of the Military Control Commission, his nephew said that Zheng Yaoquan was no longer on the same level as himself. What was the point of playing some tricks now?

"Let him jump about, the more he jumps the more ridiculous he becomes—is there nothing else to do?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Boss, there is a very unusual situation. The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has unanimously declared that Chief Zhang is innocent."

"Oh, Xu Kejun, you have a good plan - you can give some advice to the leaders in the bureau and ask them to keep their mouths shut. The Central Bureau of Investigation is supporting Anping, but our people are criticizing him, which is just a joke!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the secretary walked out of the office after receiving the order, he ran into the director of the Telecommunications Department who was coming in hurriedly.

Seeing the secretary, the director of telecommunications hurried forward: "Telegram from Beijing and Shanghai."

"Commander Zhang's?"

The director of telecommunications was stunned. At this time, the boss's secretary was still addressed as Chief Zhang?
"Yes."

"Give me!"

The secretary took the telegram and went back into the office.

"Boss, this is Commander Zhang's telegram." "Huh? This bastard finally feels like explaining it to me?"

Old Dai was surprised, but after reading the telegram, he showed a playful expression.

This telegram was filled with Zhang Anping's sincere explanations, trying to exonerate himself for Wang Tianfeng's arrest - if it were anyone else, this would be normal, but when did his nephew get used to making such excuses?

He put away the telegram and said to his secretary, "Have the Telecommunications Department severely reprimand the Beijing-Shanghai District in my name. The harsher the wording, the better."

The secretary was puzzled, but he believed that the reason he could always be trusted was naturally because he knew the limits, so he immediately went down to convey the instructions.

In the office, Old Dai muttered:

"This is the first time I've seen such a righteous telegram to reprimand. This brat, I wonder how big a game this is playing!"

……

Zhang Anping once again sneaked into Lao Cen's house dressed as a woman.

As usual, before getting down to business, Cen Yanyan said unhappily, "Talk about business first, don't just focus on rocking the bed!"

Zhang Anping said: "Old Cen, you almost got caught, don't you know?"

"Failed? What happened?"

"Someone is checking you out!"

"Investigate me?!" Lao Cen's expression tensed, and then he said angrily: "Then why did you come to me? You are violating organizational discipline by doing this!"

Zhang Anping respected Lao Cen very much. Although he was not very serious on weekdays, as soon as Lao Cen got angry, he quickly restored Zhang Shihao's momentum and said hurriedly:

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's over."

Old Cen was relieved: "What's going on? How did I reveal my true colors?"

Lao Cen has many identities, and he is also the head of the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai Propaganda Department. If anything goes wrong, it could easily be caused by these multiple identities.

"No, it's because you have such a close relationship with the Japanese high-ranking officials in Shanghai that you have aroused the vigilance of the old fox Ito Masashi. Hey, don't tell me, the vigilance of the old fox Ito Masashi is not to be underestimated!"

Lao Cen also has another identity, he is the author of the novel "Detective Nan Ke". Because of this identity, he presents an extremely pro-Japanese image to the outside world. In addition, this novel is very popular among the Japanese, so he is a guest of honor for high-ranking Japanese military, political and business officials in Shanghai.

Hearing this, Lao Cen said with a bad look, "Since he is so vigilant, the investigation may not be over! You are still too careless!"

Zhang Anping rolled his eyes:

"I was careless? Old Cen, I'm afraid you don't fully understand your gentle and beastly personality!"

Facing Zhang Anping's evil smile, Lao Cen said, "Because of my personality? The investigation ended so easily?"

"You have syphilis, you're a living eunuch, and you hire prostitutes every now and then. The key is that you do nothing but let the girls rock you on the bed. Your story is already well known in the brothel world. Many girls can describe you vividly as a living eunuch, and can also describe what you look like after your syphilis is cured. Do you think the Japanese can continue to investigate?"

Zhang Anping often came to see Lao Cen dressed as a woman. In order not to appear out of place, Lao Cen naturally had to ask girls to provide services at his home from time to time. However, he was also a very determined fighter, so how could he fail in such a situation? Naturally, he asked the girls to rock on the bed and pretend.

Moreover, he couldn't just pick out the girls from one brothel. As time went by, and with Zhang Anping deliberately spreading the rumor, the fact that Cen Yuyan couldn't have sex because of prostitution became "known to everyone".

This time, Lao Cen was not angry. Instead, he said thoughtfully, "This character is really powerful! Anping, I was narrow-minded in the past. I apologize to you."

Zhang Anping felt quite bored after Lao Cen's apology. In the past, Lao Cen would grit his teeth whenever he talked about his reputation. He liked to "tease" him deliberately, but now... it's boring, so boring!

"Let's talk business, let's talk business--" Zhang Anping said:
"I received the news. It seems that we have been too cold to Zhang Shihao."

"cold?"

"The whole country is condemning Zhang Shihao, but we are taking a cold approach here, with only a few innocuous comments. This is a bit... not right."

Lao Cen frowned and said, "But you are a high-ranking member of the Military Control Commission after all. If you make too much noise, I think it's a bit deliberate."

The cold treatment was what Lao Cen suggested to Sister Qian. Since Sister Qian was not in Shanghai, she followed Lao Cen's advice.

Actually, what Lao Cen said makes sense. After all, Zhang Anping is a senior member of the Military Control Commission. If the Soviet area denounces him too harshly, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"But I am Zhang Shihao!" Zhang Anping said in a serious tone, "It is Zhang Shihao who ordered the Zhongjiu Army to stab the New Fourth Army in the back. It is also Zhang Shihao who instigated our personnel to defect in the Shangrao concentration camp!"

"I can use this incident to expose all my experiences during the formation of the Anti-Japanese National United Front and the Second Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. I will expose all the messes, such as the weed eradication plan, the plan to plant a thorn in our side while ignoring the enemy, and so on!"

As he said this, Zhang Anping only felt the words "Gongdelin Ticket +1+1+1" appearing continuously on his forehead.

Well, this is under the premise that he surrenders, otherwise, he will be guilty of heinous crimes, unforgivable crimes and deserves death.

Lao Cen stared at Zhang Anping, and Zhang Anping stared back without giving in. After more than ten seconds, Lao Cen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then he couldn't help but hold Zhang Anping's hand.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't.

According to Sister Qian, Zhang Anping could have left the Military Control Commission early and gone to work in the Soviet area.

But Zhang Anping kept refusing and got deeper and deeper into the swamp.

With the charges that have been announced now, Zhang Anping’s identity will probably be difficult to reveal in the future!

Zhang Anping smiled and said:
"Lao Cen, the idiom "Duanxiuzhipi"..."

Lao Cen couldn't help but quickly let go of Zhang Anping's hand and said unhappily, "You..."

"Let's go——"

The beautiful Zhang twisted her hips coquettishly, cursed under her breath, and started to walk away - if someone was watching her, it would be easy to match her with the investigation results.

In order to successfully lurk, the so-called infamy and the final result are nothing more than looking at them from the perspective of hindsight.

Like Lao Cen, when he found that bad reputation and flowery fame could protect himself very well, he was willing to accept it even if it was real venereal disease.

Not to mention just carrying such a reputation.

……

After changing from women's clothes back into men's clothes, Zhang Anping returned to his home, only to meet an unexpected "uninvited guest".

Xu Baichuan.

When the two brothers met, Zhang Anping naturally had no good words to say: "Hey, why don't you just hold onto your chair properly now, and run up to me and make a scene? "

"Chair?"

"The commander-in-chief's chair."

Xu Baichuan laughed: "You sound like me."

"Tsk, your reputation spreads very quickly, and it has even reached you!"

"I'm right next to Shanghai. Are you surprised to hear this?" Xu Baichuan cursed with a smile, then pretended to be serious and said, "As soon as I heard this, I rushed over to support my brother!"

"speak English!"

Xu Baichuan smiled apologetically: "Isn't it that the Loyal Rescue Army is still in the process of dividing its forces? As the commander-in-chief, I don't seem to have much to do. You have set up such a big battle here, how can I not be tempted? So I came here to help you."

Zhang Anping was speechless. Old Xu had gotten used to treating him as a pendant!

Seeing that Zhang Anping didn't say anything, Xu Baichuan immediately put on the posture of a subordinate, took out a telegram from his pocket, and said respectfully: "District Commander, this is the telegram from the Bureau Commander, would you like to take a look?"

"Come, come, I give up. You can go on all you want. Show me the telegram."

Xu Baichuan laughed again, threw the telegram to Zhang Anping, and sat down without any posture: "I severely reprimanded you, it is 100% you who wanted to come here, right? To be honest, I don't understand what you want to do!"

Xu Baichuan was really curious.

"This time the opponent is more cunning than a fox, hehe..." Zhang Anping glanced at the telegram and confirmed that it was a telegram reprimanding him, then he put it away and said:

"I wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect that this old fox Ito didn't fall for it and didn't even go to the Kuomintang-controlled area to stir up trouble. I wasted the feast I prepared for him."

Xu Baichuan sneered:
"That's it? Who are you trying to fool? You're almost the worst evil of the century, how could you possibly only think of reaping such a small profit!"

"What the hell are smart people? They're so annoying--" Zhang Anping stared at Xu Baichuan and complained, but as he spoke, his eyes lit up.

He had always felt that the method of "giving gifts" (code book) was somewhat imperfect. Now after seeing Xu Baichuan, he suddenly felt that this play seemed to be able to be performed perfectly!
Old Xu was stared at by Zhang Anping, and suddenly he had a bad feeling. When he saw Zhang Anping's eyes begin to glow, cold sweat broke out.

"Hey, you don't want me to follow in Lao Wang's footsteps, do you?"

"Zhang Anping, we are brothers, half-brothers, please take it easy!" (End of this chapter)
