Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Military Control Commission, headquarters.

Dai Chunfeng's office.

Old Dai looked at the telegram sent by Zhang Anping with a very gloomy face.

Just as he thought, his nephew became furious and asked him in a telegram to put pressure on the Third War Zone through the Adjutant's Office, ordering the Third War Zone to stop the evacuation of the two retreating divisions and transfer full command to him.

In the telegram, Zhang Anping took full responsibility for the defeat in Huaibei and asked for another chance. He would go to southern Jiangsu in person to command the three columns and two divisions of the Zhongjiu Army to launch a new round of offensive in southern Jiangsu to avenge the previous defeat.

"Silly boy!"

Dai Chunfeng sighed softly.

"This stupid boy, instead of trying to pass on the blame, he shamelessly takes the responsibility on himself, eh..."

In his opinion, Zhang Anping is now like a gambler who has lost all his money and always wants to turn the tables - he thinks Zhang Anping is used to everything going smoothly and has never considered the consequences.

It is well known that he regards his nephew as his successor. Last time, when the Yan'an spy network was destroyed, someone stabbed the nephew in the back. Now the nephew is stupid enough to take the responsibility on his own initiative. In Dai Chunfeng's view, this is a complete manifestation of political immaturity!
"You silly boy, Zhang Shihao's reputation of being invincible is your glory, but also your burden. You are lost in this reputation!"

After accusing Zhang Anping from a distance again, Dai Chunfeng slowly folded up the telegrams, thinking about how to help his nephew break the impasse.

The operations in Huaibei and southern Jiangsu were all carried out under the command of his nephew - although Dai Chunfeng knew very well that his nephew was simply tricked, as the commander, he would eventually have to take the blame for the failure.

Southern Jiangsu is still okay, but in Huaibei, a veteran mid-level general of the National Army was captured, and the responsibility is really not small.

My nephew is a strong person and has offended no fewer people than myself. Now he must be being taken advantage of.

[Losing is not a big deal, but you must never let the principal think you are unworthy of his or her position! ]

This has always been Dai Chunfeng's creed. His nephew's situation at this moment is very similar to his creed - what Dai Chunfeng needs to do now is to make the chief attendant change his mind.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Dai Chunfeng remembered the telegram in his pocket. After taking it out and reading it for a while, a bold idea emerged from his mind:

What if...what if the chief attendant sees this telegram?

The chief aide-de-camp already felt guilty towards his nephew, and often called him "that little guy", expressing his love for him. If he saw this telegram, coupled with his own detailed reports on the affairs of southern Jiangsu and Huaibei, would he think that his nephew was incompetent?
Han's army of more than 10,000 people only held out for less than two hours against the New Fourth Army. Even if Han Xin were still alive, he probably wouldn't have imagined this, right?

After reviewing his thoughts several times, Dai Chunfeng finally made up his mind and picked up the phone to dial:
"Prepare the car. I'm going to Huangshan's official residence."

……

Huangshan official residence.

At this time, Commander Liu was angrily criticizing the Zhongjiu Army.

"To watch someone die without rescuing him, this is absolutely to watch someone die without rescuing him!"

"Han Chuzhen was completely tricked! The loyal rescue army was slow to arrive, and in order to prevent the New Fourth Army from slipping away, Han Chuzhen had to lead his troops himself, which allowed the New Fourth Army to find an opportunity and eventually besieged them with heavy troops—"

Commander Liu said angrily: "Chief Aide-de-camp, according to the information I received, Han Chuzhen was surrounded, and Zhang Shihao's first reaction was not to order the Zhongjiu Army to speed up the rescue. Instead, he let the Zhongjiu Army fight the Japanese and missed the chance to rescue him!"

"If the Zhongjiu Army had been faster, Han Chuzhen wouldn't have been captured!"

"Lawless! These youngsters are simply lawless!"

Faced with Commander Liu's angry attacks, the chief aide-de-camp was also extremely angry.

This little guy, whom I think so highly of, how come he has contracted such a bad habit?

He paced back and forth, thinking about how to hit the little guy.

At this time, a servant came in to report:
"Chief Aide-de-camp, Deputy Director Dai requests to see you."

Before the chief aide-de-camp spoke, Commander Liu sneered and said:
"Humph, this Dai Chunfeng has a very sensitive nose!"

"I think he is definitely here to make excuses for Zhang Anping!"

The chief attendant frowned when he heard this, and it was obvious that he thought the same thing. He originally wanted to avoid meeting him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to use Dai Chunfeng to warn Zhang Anping, so he signaled Dai Chunfeng to come in.

When Dai Chunfeng came in and saw Commander Liu sitting with his eyes and nose not in the same place, he felt a little uneasy and thought:
Liu Jingfu, Liu Jingfu, you are a veteran of the National Army after all, why are you so petty?
As he thought about this, he greeted the chief attendant respectfully.

The head attendant said coldly in a thick accent, "What's the matter?"

Dai Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat again, and he almost gave up the idea of ​​pleading for his nephew. But then he thought, hey, with this telegram from my nephew, what do I have to be afraid of?
He then bowed his head and said, "Captain of the Imperial Court, I am here for Anping."

Before the chief aide-de-camp could say anything, Commander Liu angrily shouted:

"Nonsense!"

"If Zhang Anping doesn't have the ability to grind a millstone, then don't do it! Now Han Chuzhen has been thrown into the hands of the New Fourth Army. As a director, you still have the nerve to come and plead for him?"

Facing Commander Liu's rebuke, Dai Chunfeng was furious, but he pretended to be careful and said, "Commander Liu, this is indeed Anping's fault. Anping sent a telegram saying that he is willing to take all the responsibility and only begs for another chance. He is willing to make amends and make meritorious contributions."

Commander Liu was stunned and thought to himself, what the hell, I just said that you were here to make excuses, and now you come here to take the responsibility?
He rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"What virtue and ability does Zhang Anping have? Does he really think that military and national affairs are a joke? Should he be given another chance? In the Huaibei battle, Han Chuzhen was captured, and tens of thousands of people were killed. He has already lost the hope of completely annihilating the New Fourth Army in one go. He still wants to fight again? Wishful thinking!"

Commander Liu naturally did this on purpose, hoping to arouse the anger of the chief aide-de-camp.

But he underestimated Zhang Anping's position in the chief aide's heart. After hearing that Zhang Anping was willing to take all the responsibilities, the chief aide's anger subsided a lot. Seeing that Dai Chunfeng wanted to fight for another chance for Zhang Anping, the chief aide frowned and said after Commander Liu finished speaking:
"Chunfeng, the little guy is still too young after all! I am really heartbroken that he ruined such a good situation this time!"

Dai Chunfeng immediately said, "Captain, I have detailed information to report to you about the battle in Huaibei."

Commander Liu snorted again, "Do you want to excuse your nephew?"

Dai Chunfeng immediately said, "Chunfeng dare not--" He took out the telegram from his pocket and presented it to the chief attendant with both hands:

"Captain of the Imperial Court, please understand. This is a telegram from Anping. He did not make any excuses!"

Since Dai Chunfeng came in, he had been thinking about how to present the telegram to the chief aide-de-camp, and Liu Jingfu's sarcastic remark was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing that his beloved general was so eager to prove it, the chief aide-de-camp became curious, so he took the telegram from Dai Chunfeng's hands and opened it to read.

Seeing that Zhang Anping was not anxious about his failure and took responsibility straightforwardly in the telegram, the chief aide felt relieved. The following content was Zhang Anping's request to order the three war zones through the aide-de-camp to order the two divisions not to retreat and to give him a chance to fight another battle in southern Jiangsu. After reading this, a question arose in the chief aide's mind:
It seems like... there's something else going on?
Here’s a story from the future:

After the death of President Trump, he was succeeded by the Vice President. Because the war was over, the new Vice President decided to abolish the Strategic Intelligence Agency, which had made great contributions in the war.

However, he later had to rebuild the OSS.

So, why is this?
Because someone often uses small tricks to sandwich important information among a pile of irrelevant information, he can't find the other party's weaknesses, but this method artificially locks him in an information cocoon!

To ensure that they did not become deaf, the Office of Strategic Services was rebuilt and renamed the Central Intelligence Agency, making it an independent agency of the Executive Office of the President!
Closer to home.

In this matter, the Chief Aide-de-Camp reported information using "rhetorical" techniques - the information he learned was provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Third War Zone, and was also forwarded by the head of the intelligence group of the Aide-de-Camp's Office.

The honeymoon period between the Central Bureau of Investigation and Zhang Anping is over. With Zhang Anping's attack on the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Central Bureau of Investigation will naturally not let him go if they can get a chance. Although the Third War Zone has a good impression of Zhang Anping, it is not difficult for someone to take the opportunity to reverse some information.

The most critical link is the intelligence team of the attendant room. Tang Zong is the leader of the intelligence team. The intelligence he conveys...

The appearance of Commander Liu "at the right time" confirmed the information the chief aide had through his words - with multiple approaches, the chief aide was trapped in an information cocoon on this matter. In fact, it is easy to break out of this information cocoon, as long as the chief aide sees the report submitted by the Military Control Commission.

However, if Tang Zong casually said at this time: "Chief Aide-de-camp, would you like to take a look at the report provided by the Military Control Commission?"

You should know that Zhang Anping is Dai Chunfeng’s nephew!
It was understandable that the report submitted by Dai Chunfeng favored his nephew, so the chief aide-de-camp naturally waved his hand, waving away the opportunity to break the information cocoon!

Look, after the tacit cooperation of various forces, even if Dai Chunfeng was standing behind Zhang Anping, he could still be tricked.

Of course, the chief aide-de-camp did not realize at this time that someone had woven an information cocoon around him, and he didn't even know what an information cocoon was, but he keenly sensed something strange from Zhang Anping's telegram.

After realizing this, the chief attendant said, "Chunfeng, tell me what you think about the two battles in Huaibei and Sunan."

"The battle of Shanzitou was indeed unexpected. Deputy Commander Han had been through hundreds of battles, but who could have thought that more than 10,000 soldiers would be wiped out in just one and a half hours!"

After Dai Chunfeng said this with great sorrow, he changed the subject:
"In the Battle of Southern Jiangsu, I don't know what the commanders of the two divisions were thinking!"

"We told them not to advance rashly, but before the Loyal Rescue Army arrived at the battlefield, the vanguard started fighting with the New Fourth Army - they lost, it was just a loss of a thousand people! But what were they thinking? With such a small loss, they ran away like a frightened duck!"

Dai Chunfeng said angrily: "The 89th Army in Huaibei ran away, leaving only our Zhongjiu Army to confront the New Fourth Army! This is understandable, after all, Deputy Commander Han was captured, and it is understandable that they don't trust the Zhongjiu Army. But in southern Jiangsu, the two divisions ran away and left the Zhongjiu Army behind. Now, whether in southern Jiangsu or Huaibei, it is all our Zhongjiu Army facing the New Fourth Army alone."

Dai Chunfeng complained: "This matter is indeed Anping's responsibility. After all, he made the plan. However, no one in the 89th Army, the 5th Division, or the 192nd Division obeyed orders!"

"In the end, not only did our Zhongjiu Army become a nobody, but we were also left alone on the battlefield to face the New Fourth Army. Didn't they deliberately put our Zhongjiu Army in a difficult position at this time because Anping insisted on attacking the New Fourth Army?"

Commander Liu became furious when Dai Chunfeng was reporting and tried to interrupt him several times, but he received a warning from the chief aide-de-camp. After Dai Chunfeng finally finished speaking, he immediately shouted, "Dai Chunfeng, stop spreading rumors!"

"Han Chuzhen is the deputy commander of the national army, and he had no complaints about being commanded by a junior. But in your mouth, it became the 89th Army that refused to obey military orders?"

Dai Chunfeng did not make any excuses.

The chief attendant's eyes swept across Commander Liu's face, then glanced at Dai Chunfeng who was still feeling aggrieved, thought for a moment, and said:
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. The little guy can't keep being wronged!"

"I will immediately send someone to the Third War Zone to investigate."

A hammer!
Dai Chunfeng was secretly delighted, thinking it was a close call!
Liu Jingfu's face couldn't help but darken.

[This time, I'm afraid I've lost sight of one thing while focusing on another! ]

……

Meishan Town, a detention center converted from a landlord’s house.

A total of seven people, including Xu Baichuan, Tan Zhongshu and six other senior officers of the Loyal Rescue Army, were detained here. Since that day when Tan Zhongshu and others stood up to "force the palace", the seven of them have been detained here by Zhang Anping.

As a spy chief, Zhang Anping was extremely kind to his direct subordinates and his brothers. Not only was the place where the seven of them were imprisoned luxurious, but even the news was not blocked to them.

They guessed that Zhang Anping might want them to keep abreast of the Zhongjiu Army's offensive against the New Fourth Army at any time.

But the funny thing is that the news they received after the seven of them were detained was not "good news" - first, Han's troops were eaten up in Shanzitou, and then they ran into a wall in southern Jiangsu. The two divisions lost more than a thousand people and ran away like frightened rabbits.

After all the commotion, the current situation is that the Zhongjiu Army is isolated and helpless and is facing the New Fourth Army.

The seven detained people were not happy about the defeats on both the northern and southern fronts. After all, they were all legitimate national army soldiers!

"How did the situation become like this now?" Tan Zhongshu was somewhat confused. "Deputy Commander Han's behavior was indeed unexpected, but why did Sunan...the two divisions just run away?"

If the two divisions belonging to the Third War Zone had not fled because of their defeat, at least the Zhongjiu Army would not have been outnumbered and had to face the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu.

But, they ran away!
Run when you say run!

Once they ran away, the loyal and resolute army that had traveled thousands of miles from Zhejiang to southern Jiangsu would be betrayed!

Xu Baichuan sneered, but did not answer Tan Zhongshu's question.

This is the tradition of the National Army. What's so surprising about it?
Without talking about the distant past, let’s just talk about the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign that was right before our eyes - the 86th Army obediently followed orders to defend Quzhou, waiting for the main force of the Japanese army to be consumed, and then the main force of the Third War Zone launched a full-scale counterattack to launch a decisive battle against the Japanese army.

The results of it?
Before the decisive battle, the army was called to a halt and went straight up the mountain. The 86th Army guarding Quzhou was betrayed!

The 86th Army was the direct line of the Central Army. If they sold out their direct line easily, what would the other troops think? Isn't it normal to just run away after losing many soldiers and generals?
Facing the current situation, an officer asked worriedly: "The current situation is that our army is facing the pressure of the New Fourth Army. District Commander... he won't be stubborn to the end, right?"

The seven people detained were all genuine generals of the National Army. Although they were arrested for tipping off the New Fourth Army, their so-called tipping off was actually a cover to force Zhang Anping to give up the attack on the New Fourth Army!

Zhang Anping at least acknowledged this point, otherwise he would not have just detained them.

At this time, the situation of the Zhongjiu Army was particularly bad. Whether in Huaibei or southern Jiangsu, the Zhongjiu Army was facing the New Fourth Army directly. Although they were arrested for "leaking information" to the New Fourth Army, they were generals of the Zhongjiu Army after all. At this time, the Zhongjiu Army was in danger, and they were in an even worse situation.

"The District Commander will not continue to fight to the end." Tan Zhongshu shook his head: "Our army is at a disadvantage now. If a conflict really breaks out, the District Commander will not be blind to the consequences."

The Loyal Rescue Army is very powerful. It has incorporated several plainclothes mixed-city teams and has military aid from the Americans. There is no longer any limit on the number of troops. Its total strength currently exceeds 40,000.

But compared with the New Fourth Army, their military strength was at an absolute disadvantage.

Moreover, the characteristics of the Zhongjiu Army determined that they could not fight for a long time. At this time, the two main forces had about 30,000 people stationed in Huaibei and southern Jiangsu, which could basically be called common areas. If a fight really broke out, there would be no benefit!
"It's hard to say," but someone refuted Tan Zhongshu's statement: "The district commander was determined to take action against the New Fourth Army this time, but Deputy Commander Han was defeated. If the district commander did not take action, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain."

There were people supporting both statements. After the six people discussed to no avail, they all looked to Xu Baichuan, hoping that Xu Baichuan could make the final decision.

Facing six pairs of eyes staring at him, Xu Baichuan thought for a moment and then looked towards the gate.

He said something meaningful:
"I think we'll find out soon enough."

His mouth seemed to have been opened before. Just as he finished speaking, the door that was only opened at mealtime suddenly opened.

Then, Zhang Anping walked in with a pale face and a gloomy expression.

"Seat down."

After seeing Zhang Anping, Tan Zhongshu and six others quickly stood up - even though Zhang Anping had detained them, they had no hatred towards Zhang Anping. As soldiers, especially officers of the special force of the Loyal Rescue Army, how could they not know what the consequences of their actions would be?
But Zhang Anping just detained them!
How could they not know about this kind of protection?

Zhang Anping ignored the six people, walked into the lobby with a gloomy face, and sat down casually. Then he looked at them coldly. After the six people lowered their heads, he spoke:
"Do you have any connection with the Communist Party?"

The six people didn't know how to answer and remained silent.

Zhang Anping shouted, "Are you dumb?"

After this rebuke, Tan Zhongshu and the other six people said:
"Report, no!"

"Remember your answer - now get out!"

The six people looked at each other, not daring to move.

"I told you to get out of here!"

This is... letting us go?
The six people reacted, saluted immediately and left the place one after another, leaving only Xu Baichuan sitting aside without saying a word.

Tan Zhongshu glanced at Xu Baichuan, then at Zhang Anping, and wanted to say something, but was pulled out by his colleagues. (End of this chapter)
