Chapter 685: The Really “Bitter” Zhang Anping

Dai Chunfeng understood what his nephew meant by taking the blame.

The situation is now clear - there may be traitors in the Military Control Commission, but there are actually no traitors at the top level. There are only greedy people who deliberately leaked the intelligence network in Yan'an in order to attack Zhang Anping, which eventually led to the destruction of the intelligence network.

On the other hand, Bian Bao used various means to tell the Military Control Commission:

I have a mole in your upper echelons.

Whether it is mentioning nine prisons or providing a list of more than 1,500 people arrested, it is intentionally or unintentionally corroborating this matter.

Why did the border guards do this?

Just watching the fire from the other side of the river and making the most of it!
The more likely possibility is that even they themselves don't know who provided the list, but they are definitely aware of the other party's purpose, so they take advantage of the situation to muddy the waters - the threat posed to the border protection by the Military Control Commission, which is constantly plagued by internal disputes, will naturally be infinitely reduced.

Overt conspiracy, this is actually a naked conspiracy.

What was Zhang Anping's response?

I take responsibility, and this matter ends here!

Of course, it did not really end there, but Zhang Anping was worried that a large-scale investigation would lead to panic and disunity among the people in the Military Control Commission, which would ultimately benefit the Japanese and the border guards.

Therefore, we should end this matter openly first, but secretly, we can continue the investigation and make sure to catch this traitor.

This is why Zhang Anping took the responsibility.

What else can Dai Chunfeng do when faced with such a reasonable nephew who cares so much about the overall situation?
He stood up and walked to Zhang Anping, patted Zhang Anping on the shoulder, and sighed:
"You, for the sake of the overall situation, always disregard personal gains and losses. I really don't know how to describe you... praise you or scold you?"

His expression was extremely complicated.

During the Battle of Songhu, Zhang Anping did something "earth-shattering":
Hit list!

He issued a hit list and went directly to war against the termites.

Even pillars of the party and the country like Sun Paopao are on the assassination list!

At that time, Dai Chunfeng was almost furious, thinking that his nephew did not understand the overall situation.

But the facts have proved that the nephew is actually obedient to the overall situation - for the sake of the overall situation, he has repeatedly given up his personal gains and losses.

This time, the intelligence network in his nephew's hands was uprooted, and he could feel how big a blow it was to his nephew.

However, the nephew finally obeyed the overall situation and would rather take the responsibility himself than not let the overall situation remain stable.

Honestly speaking, this kind of character is really extremely rare in the Party-State!

Zhang Anping shook his head: "Commander, I was careless this time after all. I promise you that this will never happen again in the future!"

"I promise!"

"Well, I believe you - go, go home, you will be busy next."

"No, I'll finish the things at hand first."

Zhang Anping still refused to go home. He saluted and turned away.

When he closed the door, the noise was much louder than usual, and it was obvious that he still had a lot of resentment in his heart.

Dai Chunfeng sighed quietly, and then his eyes became extremely cold, with terrifying murderous intent that almost burst out of his body.

This time, his murderous intent was stronger than ever before.

This person is so cruel that, in his quest for power and profit, he has no regard for the interests of the party and the country. He deserves to be cut into pieces!

……

Dai Chunfeng issued the punishment for the destruction of the Yan'an intelligence network the day after the negotiations ended.

Although he wanted to protect his nephew, as the head of a secret agency, it was necessary to reward merits and punish faults, and he could not break this rule because of Zhang Anping.

But his board fell gently:

Zhang Shihao was removed from his position as the chief of the Beijing-Shanghai District, the Beijing-Shanghai District was disbanded, and Zhang Shihao was transferred to the Third War Zone and appointed as the director of the Third War Zone Intelligence Department.

But this punishment was considered too severe in the eyes of others.

The Beijing-Shanghai area initially referred only to Nanjing Station and Shanghai Station, but later all station groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were included in this system.

It can be said to be the most powerful intelligence area of ​​the Military Control Commission.

It is also Zhang Anping's exclusive sphere of influence, and no one else can get their hands on it.

There are even rumors:

In the Beijing-Shanghai district, we only know the district chief but not the boss!

Of course, Dai Chunfeng could tell at a glance what the purpose of these rumors was, but he was too lazy to pursue it.

Now, the Beijing-Shanghai area, the largest subordinate organization of the Military Control Commission, has been disbanded. In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Zhang Shihao.

But is this really the case?

Do not!
On the contrary, this was exactly what Zhang Anping originally intended.

With the fall of the concession and as Zhang Anping continued to withdraw the power of the Shanghai Station from Shanghai, the Beijing-Shanghai area itself had actually no longer been necessary to exist. His future work focus would be on Sino-US cooperation, logistics and intelligence support. Without Zhang Anping's direct control, the huge Beijing-Shanghai area would be difficult for anyone to tame.

Therefore, Zhang Anping sent a telegram to Dai Chunfeng early on, reporting his idea of ​​disbanding the Beijing-Shanghai area.

Dai Chunfeng had been dragging his feet and had not yet implemented it. Now he took advantage of the situation and "punished" Zhang Anping in the name of disbanding the Beijing-Shanghai District, showing his strict side thoroughly and making the members of the Military Control Commission tremble:

Commander Zhang, who had made outstanding contributions, was punished like this because of the Yan'an intelligence network. If they committed a serious mistake, it would be even more difficult for them to explain!

The people who should have been happiest about this result should have been the disbanded "Three-Man Alliance". Unfortunately, due to Zhang Anping's manipulation, the Three-Man Alliance is now in a completely hostile relationship. Even though Zhang Anping has suffered a major setback, they cannot be happy.

Zheng Yaoquan, filled with resentment and anger towards Tang Zong, tampered with the intelligence reported by the Second Hall. As the head of intelligence in the attendant's office, Tang Zong failed to discover the tampered intelligence, which led to a misjudgment by the chief attendant when making a decision.

After the incident, the Second Department immediately twisted its mouth and said that the information had been reported to the attendant's office. After Tang Zong found this information from the intelligence he had read, he realized that he had been duped.

Although the chief aide-de-camp did not say anything, he was already dissatisfied with this irresponsible intelligence officer, and frightened Tang Zong so much that he went to find Zheng Yaoquan overnight. Unfortunately, Zheng Yaoquan said a lot of sarcastic things but did not accept Tang Zong's apology.

The grudge was not resolved, so Tang Zong had to find Dai Chunfeng to mediate. Zheng Yaoquan had to give face to Dai Chunfeng and accepted Tang Zong's apology, but the grudge in his heart was not eliminated. Although the two were not incompatible, there was no possibility of them uniting again.

This result made Dai Chunfeng laugh secretly. The two were in conflict and he was the one mediating between them. It was really satisfying!

The more this happened, the more murderous Dai Chunfeng felt towards the bastard who was secretly tripping up Zhang Anping. His own nephew had never been greedy for power. The Beijing-Shanghai area had grown so large that he could disband it just by saying so, without any selfish desires. Facing a tough opponent, he tamed the "wild horse" with a single move, allowing himself to gain a great advantage.

But in the end, the nephew had to bear the infamy and shame!

It was precisely for this reason that he did not stop Zhang Anping's next move at all. Even when someone came up to him and said that Zhang Anping was now like a communist, he just laughed it off and turned around and kicked the crooked-mouthed bastard to Shanghai Station.

Even at a high-level meeting, when someone mentioned Zhang Anping's current "collaboration with the Communists", Dai Chunfeng directly protested his innocence to the chief aide-de-camp, and with a face full of shame recounted how his nephew had been betrayed and endured humiliation for the sake of the greater good.

After hearing the details, the chief attendant's love for the Party and the Country's Tiger Guards naturally increased, and he comforted Dai Chunfeng:

"Go tell the little guy (I changed the word "tell" three times and it was still "Gao", I was confused), don't be afraid of these villains who only know how to scheme and do things well. The Party and the country will not forget his efforts, and I will not forget his contributions!"

……

Zhang Anping is trying hard to communicate with the Communists!

Now that the negotiations were concluded, he naturally needed to make arrangements to fulfill the terms of the negotiations.

Release orders were signed one after another, and with the signing of these orders, the Military Control Commission had to release one by one our party members who were secretly arrested by the Military Control Commission.

The process was naturally not smooth, and there were some twists and turns. The heads of two prisons directly ignored Zhang Anping's orders and said they were unwilling to release the prisoners.

Without saying a word, Zhang Anping issued an order to dismiss him through the bureau headquarters.

The heads of the two prisons were directly dismissed from their posts!
This is also the reason why he was criticized as "pro-communist".

Unfortunately, the top military officials ignored it.

They all knew that Zhang Anping was trying to establish his authority.

He was removed from his post as mayor of the Beijing-Shanghai district, and the Beijing-Shanghai district system he had built was also disbanded. At this time, someone was trying to challenge Zhang Anping's authority, and it was considered merciful that Zhang Anping did not kill him.

altogether?

If Commander Zhang is in communist collusion, then the party-state is doomed!

Zhang Anping did not play any tricks and fulfilled all the conditions in just five days. Nearly 1,600 people were released. With the release of these people, the CCP members and patriots imprisoned in the Military Control Commission prison were all insignificant small fry in Zhang Anping's view. After he ordered an investigation, he simply released all of these hundreds of people.

To this end, the Military Intelligence Bureau held a special press conference to express its determination to maintain the [Anti-Japanese National United Front] to all sectors of society. For a time, the reputation of the Military Intelligence Bureau soared.

Now, the Central Bureau of Investigation next door is in trouble.

Damn it, we agreed that we would all be villains together, but your Military Intelligence Bureau suddenly transformed itself into a model for maintaining the [Anti-Japanese National United Front], and I became the villain?
That's too much, bastard!

At this time, the "lonely" Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics naturally became the target of criticism from all walks of life. The most crucial thing was that some members of the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics revealed to the press with unspeakable feelings that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had made an indelible contribution to the destruction of the [Anti-Japanese National United Front], and that the number of patriots, anti-Japanese patriots, and Communist Party members they had secretly arrested was definitely no less than that of the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

As a result, a bigger storm of public opinion was set off, and everyone was condemning the Central Military Commission at the same time.

Xu Rongzeng was very angry.

I’m Dai Chunfeng, I’m the plague god, you’ve suffered, but why is it that in the end, my Central Bureau of Investigation has become the target of criticism?
Although Xu Rongzeng was furious, he was also extremely "strong" - there was no way he would let him go, so go ahead and curse me if you want!

Xu Rongzeng was shameless and "tough", but Zhu Jiahua couldn't stand it.

It has been said many times before that Xu Rongzeng was the real director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. He was nominally the deputy director but was actually in charge of the affairs of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Zhu Jiahua was the nominal director and the actual director. However, Zhu Jiahua took advantage of this nominal opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. He used the name of director to attack Xu Rongzeng's power and successfully separated himself from the CC faction to form his own faction.

Faced with pressure from all walks of life and the fact that the Military Control Commission took the lead in setting an example, Zhu Jiahua was convinced and decided to follow the Military Control Commission's example and release the people.

Xu Rongzeng's "toughness" was naturally because he was waiting for Zhu Jiahua to take the blame.

Seeing that Zhu Jiahua was really going to do something stupid, he naturally would not stop him and started to release people in a very cooperative manner. With the release of the people by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, public opinion praised the authorities for letting go of their prejudices and that the war of resistance would usher in a new chapter.

But at this time, Xu Rongzengdiao filed a complaint to the attendant's office, accusing the Military Control Commission and the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation Zhu Jiahua of colluding with the Communists.

Xu Runzeng suffered countless losses at the hands of Zhang Anping, but the relationship between the two was as close as they came - not long ago, Zhang Anping issued an order to take someone out of the prison under the jurisdiction of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and Xu Runzeng handed over the person without any obstruction, so much so that Zheng Yaoquan privately said that Zhang Anping and Xu Runzeng were in cahoots with each other.

But no one could have imagined that these two people, who were so close to each other, would suddenly turn against each other.

……

In his accusation to the attendant room, Xu Rongzeng showed a 400-meter-long sword to Zhang Anping - he attacked Zhang Anping for deliberately allowing the Military Control Commission's spy network in Yan'an to be broken, and attacked Zhang Anping for deliberately colluding with the Communists. He then attacked Zhu Jiahua for being crazy and actually colluding with the Military Control Commission to release Communist elements.

In short, the big knife that Xu Rongzeng showed this time was not only abrupt, but also extremely deadly.

Although there was no direct attack on Dai Chunfeng, he was accused of "allowing his subordinates to collude with the Communists."

Following Xu Rongzeng's accusations in the attendant's room, some opponents who were incompatible with Zhang Anping also began to add insult to injury.

For example…the “poor and destitute” Kong family;

For example, Commander Liu.

With the help of Xu Rongzeng's accusation, they began to solidify Zhang Anping's reputation as a "communist collaborator". The terms of cooperation between the U.S. Strategic Intelligence Agency and the Military Control Commission were also mentioned. Some projects in cooperation with the New Fourth Army naturally became their weapons of attack.

……

"Asshole, is Xu crazy? Holy shit!"

Dai Chunfeng was almost angry to death. He saw that the matter was about to come to an end, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he was stabbed by his grandson Xu Rongzeng.

This knife is so vicious.

Angry Old Dai found two documents from the safe.

On one of the documents, there were various names densely written - it was a list of spies developed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the education sector!
And another document...

"Mr. Xu, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Dai Chunfeng's expression twisted, and he finally decided to stab him with the knife.

……

A spy from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics "exploded himself".

When this person was interviewed by journalists, he criticized Xu Rongzeng, deputy director of the Central United Front Work Department, saying that the other party was just working but not putting in any effort in the war of resistance. He called it fighting the war, but in fact he never took the great cause of the war of resistance seriously.

The spy revealed a series of truths:
For example, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has made little progress against the enemy, but has made continuous progress domestically. Faced with a powerful enemy, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents did not collect much intelligence on the Japanese, but they developed a large number of agents in the education sector.

The spy directly provided a series of names, stating that this was the list of spies developed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the education sector since the Anti-Japanese War.

After the list was exposed, the spy's "self-exposure" was not over yet.

He began to criticize Xu Rongzeng for using the Central Bureau of Investigation's intelligence system to make a fortune for his own selfish reasons, and even sold a large amount of precious antibiotics to the Japanese!
Is the content of this spy’s self-exposure fabricated?
Do not!
It's all true and comes with tons of evidence!

To say that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had no achievements in the intelligence war against Japan would be going against one's conscience, but compared with the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' record was really not impressive.

This is also the reason why the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics tries its best to focus internally. It is really too difficult to make achievements externally!

The education sector has always been a top priority and the focus of the CPC’s work.

After failing to achieve success externally, the Central Bureau of Investigation naturally had to make achievements internally, so it had to massively develop spies in the education sector in order to strengthen monitoring of the education sector and then strike back at the CCP.

However, they developed a large number of spies in the education sector, but did not achieve much achievement.

Now that someone has blown up himself, it has become evidence of the Central Bureau of Investigation's crimes!

And smuggling...

To be honest, both the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had limited funds. In order to obtain more funds, smuggling was inevitable.

Before, they smuggled other items, but after Zhang Anping cooperated with Xu Rongzeng, they provided a large amount of cheap medicines to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Xu Rongzeng’s idea is very simple:
This is the apology the God of Plague gave me. Earning funds for the Central Bureau of Investigation is my generosity, not my obligation - so it is only right that I gain huge benefits from it, right?

But when these things were exposed, it was no longer what it should be.

But the Central Bureau of Investigation...is rotten!

Suddenly, public opinion was in an uproar.

……

Xu Rongzeng was stunned. All the belongings he had worked so hard to buy were actually...exploded?!
What about the Central Bureau of Investigation agent self-destructing? He knew with his eyes closed that it was the work of Dai Chunfeng or Zhang Anping.

Xu Rongzeng felt terrified when he thought about the uncle and nephew deliberately hiding so much negative information.

Damn, there is not a single good person!
But now both sides have drawn their knives, and he has no choice but to go ahead.

Just when I was thinking about where to get some dirty information about the Military Control Commission to counterattack, the phone rang.

Pick up the phone.

"Deputy Director Xu, the chief attendant wants you to come over."

Xu Rongzeng's eye twitched and he thought: Do we have to keep quiet?

……

Attendant's room.

Dai Chunfeng confessed everything to the chief aide-de-camp.

He did it, he admitted it.

But Dai Chunfeng also told the chief attendant another thing:

"Assistance" to the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

His nephew Zhang Anping obtained a large number of cheap medicines for the Central Bureau of Investigation through special channels, with the original intention of supporting the Central Bureau of Investigation.

But what about the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? What about Xu Rongzeng?
Not only did they enrich themselves, but they also tried to stab their uncle and nephew to death at the critical moment. They had no choice but to fight back in this way!

The Chief Aide-de-Camp was never afraid of his subordinates having selfish motives, as long as they did not forget their official duties. The coexistence of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation was created by him for the purpose of checks and balances.

So he was very angry at the behavior of the Military Control Commission, and was also very angry at the Central Control Commission for being the first to stab his Tiger Guards. He originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he did not expect that the Military Control Commission would fight back in this way.

But after Dai Chunfeng's aggrieved explanation, he understood Dai Chunfeng's helplessness. Then he scolded Dai Chunfeng and claimed that the matter was over.

This is considered biased.

But Dai Chunfeng achieved his goal. The so-called communist scandal was completely over, and he also gained a wave of goodwill for his nephew.

However, based on his understanding of the chief aide-de-camp, Zhongtong and Xu Rongzeng would probably suffer this time.

After being scolded, Dai Chunfeng smiled happily as he left the office, but at this moment he happened to meet his old rival Xu Runzeng.

Dai Chunfeng smiled and lamented: "The world is becoming more corrupt and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!"

Xu Rongzeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, snorted, and followed the servant into the office.

"Committee."

The chief attendant asked sternly, "Let me ask you, Zhang Anping, do you understand communism? Answer me from your heart!"

Xu Ruzeng really wanted to accuse him of collaborating with the Communists, but he didn't have the courage.

Bowing, whispering:
"He won't communicate with the Communists."

Xu Rongzeng did not dare to tell a lie, and he did not think that Zhang Anping would collude with the Communists.

I still say that if Zhang Anping is in favor of the Communists, then everyone in the Party-State will be in favor of the Communists!

"Go back, this matter ends here."

The chief attendant immediately drove him away.

Xu Ruzeng started to panic. He felt like he... might be in trouble.

"Commissioner, I..."

"go back!"

The chief attendant shouted at him harshly, and Xu Rongzeng had no choice but to shut up and leave reluctantly.

After Xu Rongzeng left, the chief attendant angrily said to himself:
"Everyone knows how to haggle, haggle, haggle!"

Dai Chunfeng is like this, Xu Ruzeng is like this, and even Zhu Jiahua is like this!

As for Master Kong and Commander Liu, the chief aide-de-camp could only say “Hmph”!
"Little guy, this little guy must be feeling very miserable!"

The chief attendant believed in observing his actions.

What did Zhang Anping do?
When everyone is pursuing their own interests, how much interests has he given up?

He had dirty dealings with the Central Bureau of Investigation, but when it came to major issues, he provided the Central Bureau of Investigation with ways to earn funds and even medicines!
With a huge amount of money in front of him, he would bear the infamy and risk offending foreigners to secretly transfer the huge amount of money to the country!

For the sake of the greater good, this little guy endured humiliation and was labeled as a communist...

"The little guy is really miserable. Even Xu Rongzeng, who criticized him for being in league with the Communists, said that there is no way he could be in league with the Communists..."

The attendant sighed and decided to give Zhang Anping some compensation.
