Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

When Zhang Anping was making his plan, he was prepared to be discovered by the Japanese halfway.

To this end, he prepared several contingency plans, such as sacrificing the rook to save the king and cutting off the tail with a gecko.

But the outrageous thing is that not only were all these supplies transferred away intact, but the Japanese didn't even notice it three days later!

This made Zhang Anping, who was waiting for the next performance, laugh and cry.

Although this was related to the fact that the East China Field Army had never focused its attention and that the factory protection team was regarded as their own people by the Japanese, there is no doubt that this also proved that the power change within the East China Field Army led to fatal loopholes in its internal administration.

The East China Field Army's headquarters is in such a state. As a sophisticated opponent, shouldn't Zhang Anping teach them a lesson?

However, for the first time, his way of "educating" his opponents was met with unanimous opposition.

At the meeting, when Zhang Anping proposed to notify the Japanese by leaflets, everyone was stunned.

Yuan Nong was the first to raise an objection. He stood up and stared at Zhang Anping without giving in:
"Director Zhang, if I remember correctly, you have repeatedly emphasized that the factory protection team will be the spearhead of this uprising. Now you are exposing them under the noses of the Japanese. Isn't this the same as telling the Japanese that we want to revolt?"

Although Yuan Nong stood up suddenly and spoke in a presumptuous manner, what he said was indeed of concern to everyone.

Previously, Zhang Anping was questioned when he wanted to transfer the materials guarded by the factory protection team in the name of the Japanese. Even his assistant Xu Baichuan felt that it was inappropriate. However, Zhang Anping used the excuse that he would use the "traitor" hidden in the East Field Agency to ensure the safety of the matter, and thus implemented his will.

No one expected that the true nature of the factory protection team would be exposed in this way. Naturally, it was hard for everyone to accept.

After all, in everyone's opinion, the factory protection team is now hiding very well and there is no need to expose them.

Moreover, this was only after complicated operations that they were openly formed in the name of the factory protection team. It seemed very smooth, but everyone could see the hardships involved.

Wouldn't it be a complete failure if it was suddenly exposed at this time?
Facing Yuan Nong's questioning, Zhang Anping's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he looked at Sister Qian indifferently and said in a low voice:
"Qian Zhongwen, what do you think?"

Sister Qian thought for a moment and said, "District Chief Zhang, Yuan Nong's worries are not unreasonable. I know you must have a specific plan. We are now in a joint relationship. I hope District Chief Zhang will be honest with me."

Zhang Anping uttered three words lightly:

"can not say."

Sister Qian frowned immediately upon hearing this, and Xu Baichuan at the side chimed in:

"Ms. Qian, our cooperation has been going on for quite some time and we have experienced many tests. You have all seen what District Commander Zhang has done. I admit that you have more people than the others in the factory protection team, but don't forget that there are also my soldiers in there!"

"Zhang Quzuo will not betray his own people!"

Sister Qian explained: "Commander Xu, we have not considered this possibility. We are just acting out of public interest."

Xu Baichuan immediately said: "Since we are acting out of impartiality, we should trust District Chief Zhang more. What do you think?"

Sister Qian thought to herself, of course I trust Comrade Anping more.

She hesitated for a moment before expressing her opinion: "Commander-in-Chief Xu is right."

Zhang Anping, who had not explained, knocked on the table and said, "Next, both of our printing factories will start working immediately to urgently produce flyers. I need enough flyers before three o'clock tomorrow morning."

The reason why Zhang Anping didn't explain was because he couldn't explain.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor took place on December 12th local time. The first wave of planes took off from the aircraft carrier at six in the morning and the first wave of attack began at seven-fifty.

上海跟当地时间有18个小时的时差，换算成这边的时间，那就是12月8日凌晨1点50分左右——所以张安平预定的举事时间是12月8日凌晨一点。

But up to now, he has not received any accurate information.

This was a joint operation between the Shanghai Military Control Commission and the underground party, and the purpose was to create a stir in the concession. It was impossible for him to easily gain approval from both parties by fabricating a piece of intelligence. There must be an accurate source of intelligence.

That’s why Zhang Anping used the word “unspeakable” to “fool people”.

The reason why he did this was because time was running out.

It was already December 12rd, and there were still less than five days left until the uprising. But the closer it got, the more frequent our actions would become, and more frequent actions meant a rapid decline in confidentiality.

However, if a card is revealed at this time in a way that is almost self-exposure:

I have about a thousand armed forces and I am capable of launching an uprising in the concession.

What would the enemy think in this situation?
Zhang Shihao is going to start a rebellion?

No! At this time, they will rule out this possibility!

Firstly, because of the special nature of the concession, the Japanese were certain that the officers of the Nationalist Government would not engage in an uprising in the concession - they might make some noise, but an uprising would mean going to war with Britain and the United States, and the officers of the Nationalist Government would never dare to do that.

The second reason is that they had been cheated by Zhang Anping too many times, so many times that even after Zhang Anping revealed his true colors, the Japanese simply didn't believe it.

At this time, even though the Japanese easily received various intelligence reports about the joint efforts of the Military Control Commission and the underground party to launch an uprising, the Japanese were more concerned about:
Zhang Shihao must be throwing a smokescreen, his real purpose is definitely not this!

And there is another benefit to doing this:
The Japanese are very likely to change generals because of this.

After all, the bomb that he was about to reveal was too bizarre, simply unheard of. Given the temperament of the Japanese, it was very likely that they would engage in self-dissection out of shame.

If the general was replaced at this critical moment, I would have to present the Japanese with a trophy for the [Special Cooperation Award].

……

12 month 4 day.

As the day drives away the darkness, a new day has arrived. When the people of Shanghai open their doors and prepare to embrace a new day of life, a light flyer floats over.

The experienced Shanghai people immediately realized that this was a propaganda leaflet from the Military Control Commission or the underground party. They closed the door again without hesitation and quickly read the information on the leaflet while leaning against the door.

After the Battle of Shanghai, Shanghai fell. After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they began an information blockade on Shanghai. Except for a small number of people who could travel freely between the concessions and the Japanese-occupied areas, most people were restricted to their living and working areas.

Under the Japanese information blockade, leaflets are the only channel for most ordinary people to learn about external information.

Like the leaflets distributed by the Military Control Commission before, this leaflet still contained a dozen or so scattered messages.

One of the messages was in bold:
The evacuation of Chinese-owned factories in the concession was completed on the 1st.

"Have all the Chinese-owned factories in the concession withdrawn? It looks like... the Japanese are really going to attack the concession."

"Once the concession is lost, I'm afraid I can't stay in Shanghai anymore."

Most people did not realize the meaning behind this sentence, and were just struggling with whether or not to leave Shanghai.

It is obvious that Zhang Anping's secretly posing attitude of "the fewer words, the more important the matter" did not get the G-spot of people of this era.

Only a very small number of people who could travel between the concessions and the occupied areas fell into deep thought after receiving this information.

[Didn’t that bunch of traitors seize the factory materials that the Military Control Commission wanted to transfer? Could it be that the Military Control Commission gave up? ]

People who don't know the inside story or only know the surface generally hold the above two views.

But what happens when this leaflet is placed in front of someone who knows the situation?

At this moment, Dongye was facing the leaflet and thinking about the thirteen words in bold.

"The Military Control Commission...gave up the third wave of transfer?"

"No!"

"This is a smokescreen!"

Dongye became more convinced of his opinion - the Military Control Commission was getting angry, they must be getting angry, and they were using this method to express their cowardice.

"But what did they find out that made Zhang Shihao so angry? They made such a statement on the leaflet. Did they think I would think they were planning to attack the supplies under the protection of the factory guards?"

"Oh, this little trick may be fine for fooling children, but if you want to fool me..."

Dongye raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?
With this disdain, Dongye took a car to Dongye headquarters.

The first thing he did after arriving was to arrange for people to go to the concession to strengthen the guard of the seized materials.

In Dongye's opinion, Zhang Shihao's announcement of the end of the material transfer is more likely to make his side relax its vigilance, so the more it is at this time, the more we should keep an eye on the seized materials.

Faced with Dongye's sudden call, the spy who was assigned to go to the concession said in confusion:

"Mr. Chief, didn't we transfer the materials from the concession back? Why do we still need to guard them?"

Dongye was also confused: "What did you say?"

"A few days ago, Kawamura-kun led his men to secretly transfer supplies under your orders. Have you forgotten?"

Dongye was completely stunned, and a suffocating doubt surged into his heart.

Suppressing his fear, he said in a hoarse voice: "Go, go and call Kawamura." "Didn't Kawamura go on a business trip as ordered?"

Dongye had the urge to faint at this moment, but he still had to face reality. He said with difficulty: "Check it, check it for me!"

This investigation revealed a shocking fact:
Five middle-level agents of the East China Field Army, including Kawamura Oi, have disappeared for four days in the name of secret business.

As they investigated further, a fact that made the East Field Army shut down appeared before their eyes:

With the help of the East China Field Army, the Military Control Commission completed the relocation of the third batch of factory materials.

Because of this incident, a shocking melon was revealed:
The factory protection team in the concession that the Japanese tried their best to support was a complete armed force of the Military Control Commission.

The entire East China Field Army was stunned by this "one-click three-hit" strategy.

They have suffered enough losses at the hands of the Military Control Commission, so if they suffer a little more, they are used to it and it won't cause any waves.

However, the defection of five middle-level officers from the secret service was unprecedented. Five!
As for helping the Military Control Commission to relocate... that was even more shameless. Many Japanese spies had only one thought at this time:
How can a person be so shameless? !

We are rivals, we are enemies, how can you shamelessly use us to work for you?
How can you be so shameless!

……

Dongye suddenly understood why Ito vomited blood.

At this moment, he wished very much that he could spit out a mouthful of blood, and then stay in the hospital with Ito and stay away from this horrifying chess game.

But this was too much to hope for him.

His mission was a complete failure. Under his nose and with his "help", as many as 80% of the Chinese-owned factories in the concession that Tobira wanted to keep were evacuated.

He also used the power of the Japanese to help the Military Control Commission build an armed force of more than a thousand people in the concession.

This was not only a joke in the spy world, but also a shame that he could not wash away even by self-examination.

Whether for honor or for salvation, he must keep fighting.

And this requires the fat man's nod, otherwise, he will have no choice but to dissect himself.

At this time, Dongye was very sure that Zhang Shihao, who deserved to be cut into pieces and his bones crushed to ashes, must be waiting for him to commit seppuku - he must not let him do so.

Army Hotel.

Higashino Taketa, with a heavy heart, walked into Touhou's suite.

As soon as he entered, Dongye lowered his head and bowed almost 180 degrees:
"General, I am very... sorry to disappoint you."

At this time, Doiyuan had already received the report and knew how big a blunder had occurred in the East China Field Army.

Facing Dongye's apology after he came in, Doiyuan controlled his temper and said calmly: "Dongye-kun, although I want to angrily accuse you, I know that accusations are useless."

"Like you know there's no use apologizing."

Dongye was dejected and adopted the "do-kneeling" way of apologizing (kneeling with chest raised, fingers flat on thighs, hands sliding forward along thighs to the ground until elbows touch the ground, lowering head as close to the ground as possible):
"This is my fault. I am willing to accept any punishment. I beg you to give me a chance to forgive me. I am willing to risk everything I have to atone for my sin."

Tu Feiyuan asked in a serious tone: "What do you want to do?"

"General, I think Zhang Shihao has another plot. Although I am not sure what he wants to do, I believe that he must have other intentions by making such moves one after another."

"Please give me a chance to forgive my sins!"

Does Zhang Shihao have other intentions?

That is for sure!
The reason is simple. He could have made a fortune quietly, but he took the initiative to expose the fact that the supplies had been transferred. If he did it just to mock his opponent, there would be no need to do so.

Dongye noticed this, and Feiyuan naturally noticed it too.

He also understood another meaning of Zhang Shihao:
Come on, commit seppuku, seppuku...

At this time, Feiyuan actually had no choice. He specially transferred Dongye from the Central China Secret Service Agency. If he resigned not long after taking office, it would be a difficult problem who would take over. The most crucial thing was that Zhang Shihao was obviously planning a big conspiracy at this time. Changing the general again would be equivalent to helping Zhang Shihao again.

"Hitsuno-kun, I can give you a chance to forgive your sins."

Tu Feiyuan said lightly:

"But I need a guarantee - a guarantee of winning."

"Please rest assured, Chief. This is Dongye's last chance. I will definitely wash away all the shame with blood!"

Dongye suppressed his overwhelming hatred and spoke these words word by word.

"Go."

Doiyuan calmly signaled to Higashino that he could leave.

After Dongye left, Tu Feiyuan's eyes became completely gloomy.

Will Dongye win?
It's hard.

He was not sure what kind of conspiracy Zhang Shihao was planning, but he was sure that the conspiracy must be no small one.

Although Dongye was filled with hatred, his repeated failures had made Zhang Shihao his inner demon. Based on past experience, he knew that once he fell into Zhang Shihao's trap, there was basically no possibility of escaping. Therefore, he believed that even if Dongye was determined to die, he would still end up in disarray.

"What on earth does he want to do?"

Tu Feiyuan closed his eyes and thought about Zhang Anping's purpose.

[Zhang Shihao is certain that the Empire will occupy the concession... All his actions are arranged around this outcome, so... is he trying to prevent the Empire from entering the concession? ]

[He now has soldiers in his hands...]

[No! No! What I saw may not be true. It may be what he wanted me to see.]

[A mere 1,000 people, not even a soldier, he put this group of people in the open, most likely to attract attention.]

[So, what does he want to do...]

The fat boy's eyes suddenly widened.

If all this is a cover-up, then there is one person in Shanghai who is worth making such a fuss about.

Fatty!
"Coming for me?!"

He had done so much with great deliberate effort, and it turned out that it was all aimed at me!
Feiyuan smiled. He now wanted to confirm one thing, what action the Military Control Commission would take next. If they continued to "stockpile troops" in the concession that had nothing to do with the area, then it would prove that his speculation was at least 70% likely.

……

Dongye locked himself in the office until the evening.

He and Higashi-no-Hiro were thinking about the same problem - after brainstorming again and again, Higashino eliminated all the impossibilities and gave the same answer as Higashi-no-Hiro.

Coming for the Army General of the Empire of Japan!

Since the outbreak of the war, many generals have fallen on the battlefield, but so far, no great general has fallen on the battlefield. With Zhang Shihao's courage and ambition, he will definitely think of doing something shocking.

Well... what could be more effective than assassinating an army general? !
After realizing this, Dongye couldn't help but laugh.

"A conspiracy is a conspiracy because once it is exposed, there is only one way out, and that is death. Being upright is the kingly way."

"Zhang Shihao, you are used to plotting, and you will definitely fail in the conspiracy!"

"This time, I, Higashino Yita, will bet everything I have on you... to fight it out!"

……

12 month 4 day.

It was still the same conference room, with people from the Military Control Commission and the underground party sitting on the left and right, respectively, while Zhang Anping sat opposite Xu Baichuan.

"This is a top-secret telegram from the bureau headquarters," Zhang Anping pushed out a telegram and motioned for Sister Qian to pick it up and read it, saying:
"The bureau headquarters has deciphered several telegrams from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some requesting the transfer of deposits in the United States, and others requesting the destruction of various confidential documents."

"Mr. Chi from the Military Technology Office and Deputy Director Jiang from the Bureau Headquarters have similar decryption results. They can basically confirm that the Japanese army will launch a surprise attack on the Americans in the near future. Mr. Chi even set the time as Sunday and Pearl Harbor."

"And I also have a piece of intelligence that you cannot see. According to this intelligence, the Japanese Navy may launch a sneak attack in the next few days, and the target is Pearl Harbor. In summary, I am 12% sure that December 8, the weekend, is the time for the Japanese to launch a sneak attack on the United States."

After saying this, Zhang Anping looked around and said word by word:

"So, we will launch our uprising on December 12th." (End of this chapter)
