Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Yoshihei Takeda doesn't pay much attention to public opinion.

Because the Japanese have a special public opinion control department in Shanghai, even in the concessions, under the strong influence of the Japanese, many news will not be released at will.

He had paid some attention to the heated public opinion before, and when he saw the newspapers putting the blame of Shi Yimei's death on the Military Control Commission, he sneered but thought that this was not a bad idea.

Therefore, before public opinion brewed and a reversal occurred, Shanghai's spy agencies did not take any action.

When public opinion reversed, the Japanese public opinion control department lost the ability to control the news - because when the audience of a hotly hyped news reaches an unimaginable level, a breaking news is enough to drive all news practitioners crazy.

Who the hell is in charge of your news control at this time? !

So, the reversal happened!

The Military Control Commission denied the assassination of Shi Yimei and revealed the amoeba virus, which was already a huge hot topic - and the past few years have also made the words of "an insider of the Military Control Commission" full of credibility.

If the first piece of news was the hot topic in the public opinion, then the second one was purely about the "little boy" who had not yet been born.

The Military Control Commission [an insider] admitted without denying that Zhang Xiao was Zhang Shihao, and revealed that there was a connection between Zhang Xiao, Zhang Shihao and Zhang Anping.

While people were shocked at the Japanese's brutal treatment of their own dogs, they began to debate a second piece of news - Zhang Xiao and Zhang Shihao were the same person, but what about the related Zhang Anping?

Who is Zhang Anping?
The real creator of No. 76 is the one who expanded the scale of No. 76 and made the "safety card" that protects the interests of merchants widely known...

"Zhang Xiao, Zhang Shihao and Zhang Anping are definitely the same person!"

"Bullshit! The connection they were talking about should be that Zhang Anping was killed by Zhang Shihao himself!"

"Use your brain! Zhang Shihao has killed so many traitors, spies and Japanese devils. Did the Military Control Commission tell you that they have any connection?"

People are arguing endlessly, and the news has become a hot topic.

Only then did Takeda Yoshihei realize with shock that the past public opinion was only prepared for the current explosion!
Now, it's completely detonated!

Shi Yimei was killed by the Japanese. Although due to the intervention of the surveillance department, neither the newspapers in the concession nor the newspapers in the occupied areas mentioned it, the truth has already been widely circulated!
There is a connection between the three;
It is very likely that the three are one.

This news is still going on, and although the Japanese monitoring department intends to calm it down, there are too many arguments in this news that they simply cannot ban it!

And what Takeda Yoshihei feared most was this situation.

He didn't want to make it public. He didn't want people to know that Zhang Shihao was alive, and he didn't want people to know that the founder of No. 76 was actually a Military Intelligence Bureau agent - because this would seriously undermine the self-confidence of the Japanese and make No. 76 a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese.

I don’t want people to know that Shi Yimei was killed by the Japanese.

But now, the two things he least wanted to see have become hot topics. Even the stray dogs in the corners of the city who dare not show their heads know about it!

Takeda suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said softly:

Is this how you, Zhang Shihao, approach things?
I... really admire you!
His admiration was real, but Takeda Yoshihei felt that this was normal - he believed that his opponent's goal was to completely crush his morale, but now his morale was not crushed, and instead he was full of fighting spirit.

After his teacher Yimei told him that Zhang Xiao was Zhang Shihao, he had prepared for the worst, but now it seems that he overestimated his opponent.

Although his opponent's move made him extremely uncomfortable.

But he is still standing!
He was thinking about how to defeat the enemy, and at this moment he no longer felt the fear he had when he first heard that Zhang Shihao was alive.

……

Zhang Anping is watering the flowers patiently.

This residence was his for quite some time, and the flowers in the yard were all carefully tended - during the days when the baojia system was implemented, he was doing very well here, and was even inexplicably recommended as a baozhang.

Perhaps it's because the carefully tended flowers in the yard are incompatible with this war-torn era, which is why people are so fond of this flower grower?

Old Cen, who was standing by and watching Zhang Anping watering the flowers, always had a sense of unreality.

In his eyes, Zhang Anping was the type who was decisive, strategizing, and smiling all the time. So when did this guy become like a slow-moving old man tending flowers and plants?

"I say, have you had enough?" Director Cen finally spoke after becoming impatient.

Yes, that’s right. Old Cen is called Director Cen today. He came here as the director of the Shanghai Propaganda Department of the Military Control Commission.

When Lao Cen first arrived in Shanghai, he took over the propaganda agency from Zhang Anping and became the head of propaganda. At that time, he was still under the command of Zhang Anping.

Later, when Lao Dai came to Shanghai, he cut off contact between the two.

In fact, it was for Zhang Anping's own good, because propaganda agencies were not hidden in muddy waters like action or intelligence agencies. Many things about propaganda agencies could be traced - such as papers, humor, leaflet distributors, etc.

The Propaganda Department has never had any problems, mainly because it has established a linkage mechanism with the Shanghai District. There is an intelligence group specifically responsible for the security of the Propaganda Department, and the core institution of the Propaganda Department, the printing factory, is located in the concession.

He came this time at the formal invitation of Zhang Anping, for the record. However, Lao Cen estimated that with Zhang Anping's personality, he was definitely not here just to cooperate with the Propaganda Department.

Speaking of the propaganda war during this period, the Propaganda Department has made a lot of efforts. Seeing Zhang Anping's ability to make the news of the Japanese strict blockade known to everyone, Lao Cen felt like he was learning a lesson.

Unfortunately, after coming here, he wanted to express his feelings, but was "defeated" by Zhang Anping who was playing with flowers and plants.

Zhang Anping slowly put down the watering can, then he moved more swiftly and quickly got to the recliner. He lay down on the recliner and became lazy again. As Old Cen was stunned, Zhang Anping said:

"The No. 3 Printing Factory in the French Concession should be withdrawn. It has been exposed."

Without waiting for Lao Cen to answer, Zhang Anping complained: "Once the Gallic chicken kneels once, it will have no sense of shame when kneeling again. The French Concession will be the focus of Japanese spy operations in the future. Try to withdraw as much as possible!"

Lao Cen nodded: "I see - you're not doing this just for this?"

Zhang Anping shook his head first, then said in a deep voice: "You know about 'Qi Dian', right?"

"I know." When Lao Cen saw Zhang Anping talking about the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he knew that this place was absolutely safe, so he simply said:

"There is no way to eradicate the Kuomintang's diehards!"

The "Qi Dian" refers to the telegram that He Yiji and Bai Huli jointly sent to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army a few days ago, on December 12. In the telegram, they urged the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to move all to the north of the Yellow River. In October, they issued the "Hao Dian", which slandered the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and demanded that they be reduced to 8 people and all be transferred to the north of the Yellow River.

At that time, the Nationalist government was already sharpening its knives, intending to join forces with the Japanese army to attack our party's anti-Japanese forces.

“There are two pieces of intelligence.

The first one was from the captain, who secretly issued two orders: "Operation Plan to Eliminate Bandits South of the Yellow River" and "Plan to Deal with the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan"

The second one is the intelligence of the third war zone——"

Zhang Anping sighed and said, "The captain has issued a secret order to prepare to attack the New Fourth Army in the Third War Zone."

Is this information urgent?

urgent!
but……

This information can be obtained more easily through other channels of our party than through Zhang Anping.

Sure enough, Lao Cen replied briefly: "I know."

That was the reason why he sighed just now—there was really no way to cure these stubborn guys.

At the beginning of spring, the anti-communist wave finally subsided. Unexpectedly, after only a summer of silence, the anti-communist wave was launched in the autumn with "Hao Dian", and now they are planning to take action.

"Brothers fought against each other and fought against foreign aggression together, but why did Chiang Kai-shek always attack his own people as soon as the enemy relaxed the pressure?"

Lao Cen sighed helplessly.

Zhang Anping was very clear about the final consequences of "Haodian" and "Qidian". All he could do was to give a warning at the critical moment, but...

Thinking of this, he could only sigh. After sighing, he simply said: "Just inform the organization of the intelligence - I called you here for another matter. Tell me... without No. 76, what will happen to the sky of Shanghai?"

In the original time and space, No. 39, which was formed in the summer of 76, showed its hideous face starting from 40. In the three years from 40 to 42, the evil deeds committed by No. 76 were truly innumerable!

Moreover, when No. 76 was at its peak in the original time and space, it was just like the Military Control Commission of the National Government, and established district-level organizations on a large scale. In the Wang Puppet Regime, when No. 76 was at its peak, it established eight district-level organizations.

But in this time and space, although Unit 76 was formed earlier and committed countless evil things, it was still far from the evil deeds done in the original time and space.

Moreover, No. 76's dream of leaving Shanghai was repeatedly shattered, and all the agencies that sent him abroad eventually returned.

It can be said that Zhang Anping single-handedly killed a demon king.

And now, Zhang Anping is determined to "erase" No. 76.

No. 76 cannot be erased, but he can make the Japanese lose a spy agency with Chinese spies as its backbone.

Although there will certainly be the reappearance of secret agencies such as the Security Bureau, there will never be the momentum of No. 76 again.

"No No. 76?" Lao Cen looked at Zhang Anping in astonishment. He realized that Zhang Anping's public opinion offensive was not over yet, so he asked, "What do you think?"

"The secret service agencies cannot be eliminated, but I can prevent the Japanese from vigorously supporting them from now on. Old people often say that it is the hardest to guard against thieves within the family! Without powerful thieves within the family, I think the Japanese spies and the supporting traitors alone should not cause a worse situation than the current one, right?"

Lao Cen nodded and said, "Then do it!"

No. 76, this devil's den, seemed like a passive punching bag under Zhang Anping's hands, but it was not a punching bag, it was a devil's den!
Since its establishment, too many anti-Japanese patriots have fallen at No. 76!
Since Zhang Anping wants to get rid of No. 76, let him do it!
Without No. 76, the Shanghai sky is still covered with dark clouds, but there are always gaps for sunlight to shine in!
"I need your cooperation."

"Unconditional cooperation!"...

A new piece of news made the headlines of the newspaper.

The headline of the news is very interesting:
How to turn a group of hooligans into useless people!
In this news story told from an oral perspective, the narrator talks eloquently about a bunch of "raising" methods.

Most people were confused when they saw such news, so it did not attract the attention of the Japanese - but when they paid attention, the news became popular again, and countless newspapers got involved.

why?
Because people discovered something very interesting through this news:
All the "raising" methods described by the narrator seem to have occurred before.

The power of the people is endless. People in later generations can obtain all kinds of precise and specific information, and people in this era are no less powerful. A large number of curious people have dug out things one by one through storytelling.

And all these things happened on No. 76!
In other words, this narrator is most likely the real creator of No. 76.

In the story, the narrator talks about what bad habits he had fostered in No. 76 and how No. 76 became useless. When people slowly unfold the story from this perspective, they are shocked to find that it is indeed the case - although No. 76 was bad in the past, it seemed to be limited. It turns out that someone used an invisible framework to turn them into useless people!

Zhang Anping, a name that has always maintained a high level of popularity, has once again become a legend.

At this time, No. 76 could only tremble in fear.

Oh my god, you can’t bully people like this!

Just as the discussion about this news was heating up, another piece of news that people were looking forward to came out.

The reason why it is "again" is because the narrator's perspective is used again.

But this time, the narrator told a story:
Duke Zheng defeated Duan at Yan!

From the narrator's perspective, Gong Shuduan was very capable and repeatedly made him lose face. Seeing that he was powerless against Gong Shuduan, the narrator changed his approach:
Let [Gong Shuduan] have some fun!

Then, the narrator described a way to make a spy swell to the point of losing his mind, and also described a process of making a spy blinded by greed - of course, in this process, the victim was exploited, and Meng Guisan, who was shot, was guided step by step to burst out his courage and finally succeeded in killing the Japanese soldier.

Then, [Gong Shuduan] was poisoned by amoeba...

In this news, the name Shi Yimei was not used at all, but the whole thing was talking about this female devil!
Then, the audience went wild with excitement.

They knew that it was the Japanese who killed Shi Yimei, and they knew that the Japanese used amoeba poison to kill Shi Yimei, but they didn't know it was done in this way!
In other words, from beginning to end, the Japanese foolishly became the guns of the Military Control Commission.

So exciting!
So...stupid!

……

As the saying goes:
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them.

But as the saying goes:
I'm so mad at you, you bastard!

And now, Takeda Yoshihei is in this state - a bastard who has been slapped in the face, exposed, and angry to death.

He knew he was being used.

But now, the damn other party actually revealed this matter openly!

He thought it was over, but he didn't expect that all the brewing public opinion was a preparation for the present.

Now, the dagger was exposed and Takeda Yoshihei had a dagger at his throat.

He...is autistic!

To the extent that Takeda Yoshihei didn't dare to go out - he couldn't imagine how his colleagues would look down on him, and he couldn't imagine what kind of ridicule his superiors would use to wait for him.

The first "news told by the narrator" made him, who strongly supported No. 76, a laughing stock;

The second story, "Duke Zheng defeated Duan in Yan", made him a laughing stock and turned him into a waste!
This crushing blow made Takeda Yoshihei want to pick up a knife and kill himself several times.

But he held back, for he was afraid that after he dissected his body, he would become one of the white bones under the feet of the devil Zhang Shihao, and become one of the supporting characters in people's songs about him.

"I can't die!"

"I can't die! I must take revenge! I must get revenge!"

At this time, Takeda Yoshihei no longer had the passion to fight, but only the rage for revenge and... an extremely sensitive glass heart.

There was once a crappy author who was criticized for having a fragile heart because of a supporting character. Takeda's mentality at this moment was a thousand times worse than that crappy author - he was crushed by someone's IQ, led by the nose from beginning to end, and was made a fool of and treated like a fool from beginning to end. The smarter a person is, the more he cannot accept this kind of humiliation!

"Zhang Shihao, you want to force me to death? Dream on!"

"You can't kill me! I will only become stronger!"

He cheered himself up, encouraged himself, and then...hid in bed and indulged in self-pity in despair.

Why would he meet Zhang Shihao who is at the peak of his powers?
He looked up and the world hidden by the quilt seemed to be shrouded by a hideous and terrifying figure.

Fear entered my heart at this moment.

That person is really a devil!

……

Takeda thought he was the object of ridicule and contempt by all his colleagues and superiors.

Unfortunately he was wrong.

None of his superiors or colleagues laughed at or despised him.

Instead, they sympathized with Takeda, the chief of the secret service in Shanghai. Ever since the name Zhang Shihao appeared, the mortality rate had been 100%!
Now, it’s Takeda’s turn, it’s that simple.

Those "old people" who had experienced Zhang Shihao's domination and fear of Zhang Shihao "just" returned to the familiar days, while those who had not been dominated also saw clues from this public opinion war.

In fact, the war of public opinion is not scary. What is scary is that the other party has information!

There was enough information, information accumulated for four years, and it was all encountered by Takeda at once. Poor Takeda.

At a high-level meeting of Japanese troops in Shanghai, the commander spoke:
"Gentlemen, I don't want anyone to be responsible, and I don't want to pursue any responsibility - I just want to know how the special situation should solve the current problem?"

[Gong Shuduan] - No, if we need to hold someone accountable for Shi Yimei's matter, we should hold Takeda responsible, but we can't hold a colonel responsible because of a lackey!
So, we can only pretend that this never happened.

Now, just one thing:

Number 76!
No. 76 is a compliment built by Zhang Shihao. In the [Raising Chapter], the other party explained the method very clearly - this is a piece of black paper dyed black, you want to paint on it?

dream!

In the past, whenever someone disliked No. 76, there would always be colleagues who stood up and used the policy of "using Chinese to control Chinese" to deny the other party's views.

But No. 76 loses face every time he is supported, and now his underwear is exposed - Takeda, who has strongly supported No. 76, is too embarrassed to face people, so who would dare to speak for No. !
"Number 76, let's get rid of it."

"Abolition?"

"Yeah. Just like other cities, let's set up a security bureau."

“There’s a Chinese saying: Change the soup but not the medicine!
How do we get the personnel to form a security bureau? We still have to select people from No. 76 - Gentlemen, can we trust the people from No. 76?"

This question made the Japanese officers feel like they had eaten rice with rat droppings - the key point was that there were not just a few grains of rice in a bowl, but nearly half a bowl!
This is the most disgusting thing.

Everyone in No. 76 was labeled as untrustworthy in their eyes!

"Dismiss all personnel on the spot!" a Japanese officer said fiercely, "The establishment of the Security Bureau must start from scratch!"

"Send them all away? No one will be left behind?"

"Leave no one behind!"

"No, there are still many capable people in No. 76 - Gu Shenyan, he was a spy developed by Minami Yoko and was lurking in Chongqing. He is also in contact with Okamoto-kun. Such a person is at least trustworthy, right? I think we can't leave no one behind in No. 76, we can still retain useful talents as appropriate."

This statement aroused the agreement of many people, and the officers who insisted on dismissing all the soldiers were also convinced. They then made a unanimous decision:

Unit 76 will be abolished and the Security Bureau will be established. The personnel of the Security Bureau must be recruited from scratch and a large number of Japanese agents must be included.

"Let Takeda handle this matter - tell Takeda that he is not to blame for this matter. I hope he can rally his forces and kill Zhang Shihao!"

The commander himself did not believe the last sentence of encouragement.

The reason is simple. If Takeda really kills Zhang Shihao, everyone will think:

Hey, Zhang Shihao is going to change his identity again?

……

A piece of news swept Shanghai:
The secret service headquarters under the secret service committee shall be dissolved within a specified period of time;
Special Committee, disband!

From then on, there was only the Security Bureau in Shanghai, and no more secret service headquarters;

From then on, the Wang Puppet Regime in Nanjing no longer had a special agent committee, only local security bureaus. (End of this chapter)
