Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 674: Desire to Confide and Feel Happy
It is obvious that in the last confrontation with Zhang Anping, Ito was still defeated, and was defeated miserably.

Perhaps the first piece of information revealed by Zhang Anping aroused Ito's interest in the second piece of information, or perhaps Ito wanted to take revenge on the empire he was loyal to. In short, he began to talk about his life with a cooperative and enjoyable attitude.

Yes, it's his own life.

From my childhood memories, I have been saying, saying...

He talks about his childhood in poverty, his adolescence and youth under the changes in Japan, and his military experience, and he says whatever he really thinks of.

Zhang Anping listened patiently, had tea brought over, and personally made tea for Ito. If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they would think it was just old friends reminiscing about the past.

Ito said a lot, a large part of which was nonsense, but there were still a lot of Japanese military secrets, confidential information and top-secret intelligence, and various privacy of some senior officials were also revealed.

He even talked about his feelings - the various sighs after being schemed against by Zhang Anping several times.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, Ito had nothing more to say.

After drinking the hot tea on the table, Ito smiled and said:
"Am I the first Japanese to drink Officer Zhang's tea?"

"Indeed."

“It’s really an honor.”

Ito sighed, and when he saw Zhang Anping was about to fulfill his promise and tell the last piece of information, he stopped him and said:
"Captain Zhang, I'm very curious about your true appearance. Can you let a dying man like me take a look?"

"can."

Zhang Anping nodded slightly, and then began to clean the disguise on Ito's face with clean water in front of him.

Gradually, a face so young that Ito was jealous appeared. Looking at this young and handsome face, Ito remained silent for a long time.

too young!

He had seen a photo of Zhang Anping - it was a photo kept on file when Zhang Anping was deputy director of No. 76. He thought that was Zhang Anping's true appearance, but now he realized that it was still a disguise. Although there was a certain similarity, it was very different from Zhang Anping's true appearance.

"Excuse me, how old are you, Chief Zhang?"

Zhang Anping said calmly: "I was born in May of the sixth year of the Republic of China."

The sixth year of the Republic of China?

It is now the end of the 31st year of the Republic of China!

Izuku took a deep breath.

too young!

Zhang Anping smiled and had no intention of continuing to show off his youth.

He often meets people in disguise. In addition to keeping his identity secret, age is also a very important factor - the "true face" he most often shows to people now is to dress in an intentionally mature manner.

Ito sighed and asked, "Captain Zhang, what do you think of the outcome of this war?"

Zhang Anping asked back: "What do you think?"

Ito paused and said softly, "I think it will end with our army retreating and abandoning China."

In fact, Ito had thought about this result for a long time.

The Japanese army was put in a difficult position and had no choice but to launch the southward strategy - although the southward strategy achieved amazing results, in fact, from the beginning of the southward strategy, some Japanese had already realized that swallowing up China was something they could not do.

Ito naturally realized this possibility, so he thought that the situation would end with the Japanese army having to retreat.

Zhang Anping looked at Ito with interest:

"So how long do you think it will take?"

"Five years? Or maybe eight years."

Zhang Anping laughed, but his laughter grew louder and louder.

Ito asked doubtfully, "Captain Zhang, do you think I underestimated you?"

"I said before, let's exchange - you said you know, I told you two pieces of information, it will definitely not let you suffer any loss, right?"

Ito said seriously: "I believe in Commander Zhang's integrity."

Zhang Anping has already said one thing, but he also has another piece of information attached.

And now, Ito is waiting for the second piece of information that will shock him.

"Let me tell you the outcome of the war - actually, this is not what I wanted to tell you at first, but... I can also tell you the information I wanted to tell you before for free."

Ito thanked him: "Thank you, Commander Zhang."

Zhang Anping looked at Ito's glasses and said with a smile:
"The culprit who forced you to wear glasses is my...student."

Ito looked at Zhang Anping in a daze.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Okamoto Heiji?"

"Yes, his name is Jiang Sian."

Ito looked at Zhang Anping blankly, but he couldn't connect Okamoto Heiji and the undercover agent together in his mind.

Okamoto Heiji raised countless funds and resources for the navy. In the words of the navy:

If it weren't for Mr. Okamoto, the Empire would only have three Yamato-class ships at most!

And because of Mr. Okamoto, we can see at least five Yamato-class ships entering service within two years!
The Japanese, whose country's gates were opened by American artillery, have an indescribable emotion towards giant ships, and the Yamato class is undoubtedly the ultimate outlet for this emotion.

Although Ito hated Heiji Okamoto to death, he still had a positive attitude towards his contributions.

Although the Japanese Navy used naval aviation to destroy the British Z Fleet after the outbreak of the Pacific War and dethroned the battleship, after being brainwashed by the Japanese Navy's big ship faction, the Japanese still believed that big ships were king - the Z Fleet was destroyed due to the lack of sufficient anti-aircraft firepower!

At this moment, Zhang Anping said that Okamoto Heiji, the representative of the Japanese giant ship faction, who played an unparalleled role in the construction of the Japanese Navy's giant ships, was actually... Chinese? Was he an undercover?

This... is more than absurd!
He looked at Zhang Anping's face and didn't see any sign of joking. He finally accepted the truth that he would never believe even if there was evidence!

After a long, long time, Ito asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"

Since Heiji Okamoto is an undercover agent, why should he be asked to build giant ships for the Japanese Navy at all costs?
Zhang Anping smiled and pushed a cup of tea between the two of them.

"These are Japan's resources. If the navy is more, the army will have to be less."

"A Yamato-class ship consumes far more supplies than a main division. This is why."

Ito asked: "Aren't you afraid of getting caught in your own trap?"

"Trampling on one's own accord?" Zhang Anping laughed: "Mr. Ito, are you talking about the Yamato Hotel?"

He smiled and said, "A Japanese Army Major General Chief of Staff thinks it's a privilege to eat the second-to-last meal of the Navy. Do you think I need to care about the Yamato Hotel?"

Ito sounded a little confused.

Yamato Ryokan?

Zhang Anping explained:
"The Yamato Hotel is the nickname given to the Yamato by later generations. By the way, by the end of World War II, the Japanese only had one Yamato-class ship. The remaining one and a half had to be converted into aircraft carriers, but unfortunately they were of little use."

"And now, before World War II, Japan would probably have five Yamato-class ships in service - for the Americans, it would just be a matter of having a few more planes and bombs."

Zhang Anping smiled happily.

Jiang Sian prepared to build the Yamato class for the Japanese, using the leverage principle commonly used in the financial field - but what was even more unethical than the leverage principle in the financial field was:
To use leverage in the financial field, at least capital must be invested.

But Jiang Sian did not invest the principal.
Yes, not only did he not invest the original capital, but he also took advantage of the raised funds!

Japan’s current resources and wealth are a bit like a credit card. The more Jiang Sian advances, the more interest (cost) the army will have to bear!

In this case, how could Zhang Anping not be proud?

It's a pity that he can't talk to anyone now, so after catching Ito, Zhang Anping told him everything with the desire to confide in him!

Ito was in a hurry. He realized what Zhang Anping was planning from his words, but he was more concerned about the strange words and sentences in Zhang Anping's words, such as "future jokes" and "until the end of World War II". Thinking of Zhang Anping's words "I'll tell you when the war ends", a terrifying guess came to Ito's mind:
"Can you see the future?"

"No, to be precise, I know and have seen the future."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "Although I don't know what happened, I am lucky to have grown up in the future and have seen how powerful our motherland is."

Ito looked at Zhang Anping in horror and found it difficult to accept this statement for a moment.

Zhang Anping said to himself:

"I don't know how to explain why a person living in the future would appear in this era and become a little brat."

"Perhaps, you can go to the underworld and ask our King of Hell—" Zhang Anping said with a smile:
"The war will end in two and a half years."

"The 14-year war of resistance against Japan and the eight-year all-out war of resistance will now come to an end."

"What will happen to us?"

"You guys are pretty good, right? Li Mei held barbecues several times in your native Japan, with hundreds of thousands of people as raw materials. Later, she gave you two atomic bombs, making you a nuclear power. Of course, in this time and space, the scale of Li Mei's barbecues may be even larger. I hope it can last until the harvest stage. In addition to having hundreds of thousands of people as barbecue materials, we can also fill in more lives due to the upcoming famine."

Zhang Anping's calm words were interrupted by Ito's frightened voice:

"Zhang Shihao, are you a devil?"

Zhang Anping laughed. He laughed too many times today, but he just wanted to laugh.

"devil?"

"You Japanese have committed countless crimes in China. How dare you call me a devil?"

"When you were carrying out massacres in China, when your Unit 731 was conducting inhumane human experiments in China, did you ever think about the outcome?"

"You didn't!"

"At that time, you thought you were the winners and that this was your right!"

"So, do you have the nerve to accuse me?"

Zhang Anping stared at Ito: "You know what? When I was in elementary school, I wrote an essay in which I threatened to destroy the Yasukuni Shrine, to retaliate in Tokyo, to not stop using knives for two months, and to raise more than 700,000!"

"I thought it was just my childhood ramblings, but God gave me this opportunity!"

"By the way, I have a lot of assets in the United States. Before the war is over, I will dispose of some of the fixed assets - and then, I will do everything I can to make the Americans realize that two atomic bombs cannot solve the problem!"

"At least add one more bite!"

Although Zhang Anping's words were not crazy, the content made Ito tremble.

He was a dying man, and he believed everything Zhang Anping said - because he felt the desire to talk from Zhang Anping, and felt the joy of speaking out after holding it in for a long time!

The flames seemed to rise before his eyes, and the whole of Japan seemed to tremble before his eyes.

After taking a deep breath, Ito asked:
"Japan, what will happen in the end?"

Zhang Anping said disappointedly: "According to the progress of the original time and space, you Japanese are still okay. After World War II, because of the Korean War, you were nourished by the Americans and quickly walked out of the ruins of the war. Although you don’t have much sovereignty, your economy has taken off after all, and you almost became the world’s number one economy."

A light appeared in Ito's eyes. If that's the case, then... not bad.

Zhang Anping sneered:

"Well, you will become a country next to the American military base and the backyard of American finance. When the Americans are out of money, they will get subsidies from Japan--"

"Let me think - yes, it should be 1951, when Japan and the United States signed the San Francisco Treaty. The United States nominally ended its military rule over Japan, but until 2025, Japan essentially lost its sovereignty."

Ito murmured: "There is always hope."

"Haha," Zhang Anping couldn't help laughing:
"Hope? You think too much - how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed? You should understand this sentence, right? In the future, China's only opponent that needs to be gambled with is the United States. Japan is, after all, just a dog without sovereignty to a certain extent, and a pawn that depends on the Americans' mood!"

"The July 7 Incident, you used the missing soldiers as an excuse to kick off the all-out war of resistance!"

"But in the future, when a division commander and a group of officers are gone, the first thing you will do is to stand up and say that this matter has nothing to do with China!"

"Faced with China and Japan, which have risen step by step, it is impossible for them to become strong again!"

"Japan, either recognize the situation and behave yourself, or become a pawn in the game between great powers and be crushed to pieces! There is no other possibility!"

"In the era of weapon replacement, small countries, even old powers like Britain and France, have lost their qualifications to compete for the top spot, not to mention countries built next to US military bases!"

Zhang Anping felt extremely happy. He had been holding it in for too long, really too long.

I am accustomed to living with my head held high and proudly saying that I am Chinese. But when I first arrived in this era, I was faced with compatriots who hunched over and looked up at foreigners, surrounded by wolves while in the United States, and witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese invaders in China after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan - it was so painful and uncomfortable!
I once stood in the light, but now I am in darkness. I can see the light of the future, but it is still a long way away from me!

Ito looked at the happy Zhang Anping blankly and did not say anything for a long time.

"The future... is this what it is?"

Zhang Anping did not answer.

After the reform and opening up, Chinese people envied Japan's wealth. Even in later generations, there are still some people who foolishly admire Japan.

However, if we look at Japan's prosperity from a strategic perspective, we will find out how unbearable this illusion built on a pile of sand is - whatever the Americans oppose, the Japanese have to give up. Even though the Japanese still look prosperous with their old foundation, such prosperity is ultimately a false illusion built on a pile of sand!

Facing the financial harvest of the United States, truly powerful countries can fight back, say no, and go wherever the enemy goes, so can we. But small countries can only end up being harvested!
The sun never sets could only be like this, the world's second largest economy could only be like this, and of the four little dragons, only Hong Kong can withstand the pressure thanks to the strong mountains behind it, but which of the other three little dragons can escape the sickle of harvest?

Facing the Eagle Sauce, only two countries have the confidence to turn the table!
And one of them is just trying to make ends meet by relying on his inheritance.

The only thing that makes Zhang Anping extremely proud is that he has taken one step at a time, from admiring at the beginning to now saying "You are not qualified to tell me that you can start with your strength"!
Zhang Anping's calm silence and proud expression speak for themselves!
Ito was in desperate silence.

Snapped

A short knife was thrown in front of Ito.

Zhang Anping had revealed such a secret, so naturally he would not allow Ito to live any longer. He would not feel at ease until he saw that the other party was dead.

Ito understood this very well.

But Ito did not choose to pick up the dagger, but said in a pleading tone:

"Commander Zhang, I want to die in your hands."

"The messenger?"

"No, end my life with a bullet."

The next second, Zhang Anping took out his pistol and shot Ito once in the left and right chest without hesitation. Then, when Ito was about to fall, he shot him twice in the head.

Looking at Ito's fallen body, Zhang Anping whispered:
"I heard there is a kind of people called mirror people, whose internal organs are exactly opposite to those of normal people..."

"But even if a god came, he wouldn't be able to save us now, right?"

Zhang Anping smiled, sat down quietly, and watched Ito's life fade away.

Ito's eyes gradually lost their luster. He opened his mouth to say something but didn't have the strength to speak. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

Zhang Anping guessed that he wanted to say:

You are so cautious...

Zhang Anping exhaled a breath of foul air and stared at the corpse whose life had disappeared. His expression became calmer and calmer.

I've been holding it in for too long. It's good to say a few appropriate words.

……

Outside the tent, everything was peaceful and no one was alerted by the four gunshots.

Only Zheng Yi whispered to himself after hearing the gunshots:

"From tonight onwards, the Japanese secret service in Shanghai will no longer be a threat!"
