Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 703: The Final Aftermath (End of this Volume)

Old Han really hated Zhang Anping at first.

If Zhang Anping had not let his 89th Army take the lead, how could he, a deputy commander and governor of a province, end up as a prisoner?
Of course, at this time, Old Han had completely forgotten that the reason why he obeyed Zhang Anping's command so obediently was to bite off a piece of meat from the Zhongjiu Army and avenge the defeat at Huangqiao.

But after he secretly reached an agreement with the New Fourth Army, when he faced Zhang Anping again, he did not dare to get angry.

Who is this person in front of me?

Zhang Shihao!
The strongest agent of the Military Control Commission!
He was afraid that if he displeased Zhang Shihao, Zhang Anping would catch him and secretly investigate him, and find out that he had signed an agreement with the New Fourth Army.

That is why he said in a shocked tone:
You actually took the risk to come here!
Zhang Anping laughed inwardly, and as he looked at Han Chuzhen, who had gained a lot of weight, he said with a heavy face: "Commander Han, Shihao feels so ashamed of you! You, you have suffered!"

Faced with Zhang Anping's sincere feelings, the guilty Han Chuzhen held Zhang Anping's hand tightly, looking speechless.

Zhang Anping suppressed his smile and said in a resolute tone: "Commander Han, tomorrow, tomorrow, no matter what, I will take you away!"

Han Chuzhen really wanted to say that according to the agreement between me and the New Fourth Army, I can leave in a few days...

"Brother Shihao, this time... I, I am very grateful to you."

"Don't worry, I will let you go no matter what the cost!" Zhang Anping looked determined.

He does what he says.

That night, he lived with Commander Han.

One felt guilty, the other was "ashamed", these two people with a big generation gap unexpectedly had a great conversation that night.

The next morning, the New Fourth Army invited the two to have breakfast. After Zhang Anping went in and met the officers of the New Fourth Army, he stated the conditions without saying a word:

"I'll give you one thousand taels of gold!"

"Release the captured soldiers of the 89th Army!"

"Weapons and equipment must be returned in full quantity!"

According to the exchange rate between gold and the US dollar at that time, this is about 100,000 US dollars.

Zhang Anping could afford it, but for the New Fourth Army, this amount of money was also an astronomical figure.

Faced with the price Zhang Anping directly offered, the generals of the New Fourth Army were a little confused. If they remembered correctly, they had already discussed it with Han Chuzhen and were preparing for his release in the past few days, right?
Han Chuzhen felt so distressed that he wanted to cry. He really wanted to tell Zhang Anping not to pay any money, absolutely not to pay any money, because he had already discussed it with them - but he didn't dare to say it!
I can only hold back the heartache.

The generals of the New Fourth Army looked at each other, and someone said:
"Captain Zhang, how about you change to weapons and equipment?"

"No!" Zhang Anping said without hesitation: "You have dealt a heavy blow to the 89th Army. I need to prepare equipment for the th Army and cannot provide you with additional equipment!"

"That's all the gold!"

The generals of the New Fourth Army suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and "discussed" the matter, and finally reluctantly agreed to the conditions proposed by Zhang Anping.

But Zhang Anping has an additional condition:
"I can give you this money, but there can't be any written notes on it. Also, I will give you the money in other ways, but this money has nothing to do with Commander Han!"

"Do you know what I mean?"

What he meant was that Commander Han was not "bought" with money, and he would not admit that the money came from his hands.

It can be understood as the prudence and caution of a spy.

But in fact, Zhang Anping had dug a hole in preparation for a rainy day.

One thousand taels of gold were handed directly over to the New Fourth Army. If the opponents knew this, wouldn't they be overjoyed?

However, this money was spent on Han Chuzhen. It would be great if his opponent used this money to make something of himself - Han Chuzhen has Gu Zhutong behind him, so it would be a lot of fun then.

The reason why Zhang Anping only gave money but not equipment was very simple:
He would not support the enemy, so he would rather spend money than give equipment.

But in fact, for the New Fourth Army now, hard currency like gold is more cost-effective than equipment.

After all, the New Fourth Army now has a "financial backer" behind it who provides them with guns and equipment.

The New Fourth Army had no objection. They thought it was a pleasant surprise and knew that Han Chuzhen would not dare to tell Zhang Anping directly, so they naturally accepted the condition.

After dinner, Zhang Anping suggested taking Commander Han away first, and he would have someone deliver the gold.

Although the two sides were opponents, the New Fourth Army believed in Zhang Shihao's promise and naturally agreed to the conditions without hesitation. They also promised to release nearly 10,000 soldiers of the 89th Army within five days.

After hearing the number of nearly 10,000 people, the corners of Zhang Anping and Han Chuzhen's mouths twitched.

……

After bringing Han Chuzhen back to Lianshui, Zhang Anping set up a coordination group and promised to send 5,000 troops and related weapons and equipment to the 89th Army. He also provided a large amount of military funding to the 89th Army.

After word of this behavior spread, Zhang Anping, who had a good reputation within the National Army, had his reputation raised even more. Many generals are now looking forward to working with Zhang Anping - Zhang Anping has demonstrated with facts that his character is trustworthy.

But at this time, Zhang Anping, after finishing the finishing touches, returned to the Third War Zone and flew to Chongqing.

The conflict between Jiangsu and Zhejiang ended, and he had cleaned up 90% of the aftermath, but there was still 10% that he needed to deal with.

The remaining ten percent naturally belongs to Old Dai.

Zhang Anping had already planned this.

He could fool the chief aide-de-camp by saying that his men were making trouble to preserve their strength, but he could not deceive Old Dai.

He wanted to deceive, but who was Old Dai? This kind of action could never be hidden from him!
Zhang Anping could bring up the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but he was always "frank and honest" with Dai Chunfeng, because he had no confidence that he could hide it from Dai Chunfeng's eyes.

Therefore, this trip to Chongqing is a must.

……

Military Control Commission, Chongqing Bureau Headquarters.

Dai Chunfeng's office.

Before Zhang Anping got off the plane, Dai Chunfeng got the news that Zhang Anping was coming to Chongqing - this was also thanks to Zhang Anping. When Zhang Anping came to Chongqing from the Third War Zone, he was "besieged" by reporters after getting off the plane. He then wrote an article entitled "Interview or Leak" in which he severely criticized the press and successfully made himself lose the favor of the press.

Inspired by this incident, Dai Chunfeng extended the tentacles of the Military Control Commission into the special aircraft system to ensure the travel safety of senior officials of the National Government. This move won the favor of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and also allowed the Chief Aide-de-Camp to delegate the relevant security work to the Military Control Commission, once again strengthening the power of the Military Control Commission.

Closer to home.

After receiving the information that Zhang Anping returned to Chongqing as soon as possible after rescuing Han Chuzhen, Dai Chunfeng couldn't help but smile.

"This brat, I thought you were going to hide it from me!"

Old Dai felt very comfortable.

Just as Zhang Anping expected, the investigation report brought back by the investigation team of the attendant's office satisfied the chief attendant, but Lao Dai, the chief of the secret service, intuitively realized the problem.

Especially after Zhang Anping set up a special detective department directly under his jurisdiction in the Zhongjiu Army, Dai Chunfeng realized that the conclusion of the investigation report must not be the truth!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the nephew to set up a special detective department under his own control!
However, he has always been confident in Zhang Anping's work. Seeing that his nephew had set up this organization, Dai Chunfeng knew that his nephew had solved the problem, so he temporarily felt relieved and waited for his nephew's explanation.

Sure enough, as soon as the Siyang issue was resolved, the nephew rushed to Chongqing.

With this mindset, Zhang Anping appeared at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau and then in his office.

"Seat!"

Facing the greeting from the dusty Zhang Anping, Dai Chunfeng stood up, walked to Zhang Anping, patted Zhang Anping's clothes, then covered his mouth and nose in disgust and walked aside, saying unhappily:

"You're probably the only one who can wear a general's uniform and look like a dirty monkey!"

Zhang Anping smiled apologetically: "The department will clean it up later."

Of course he did this on purpose, otherwise how could he let Dai Chunfeng see his anxious attitude?

The more this happens, the more urgent his situation becomes.

"You..."

Dai Chunfeng naturally wouldn't just stare at Zhang Anping's clothes, or rather, he did so just to show that he felt Zhang Anping's feelings. He went straight to the point, frowned and said:
"You are too naive. You should discuss some things with me instead of just following your own temper."

"You mean Tang Zong?" "Of course it's him!" Dai Chunfeng said unhappily, "I know he has a problem with you and is secretly trying to stab you, but he is a member of our Military Control Commission after all. In that position, he can definitely take care of our Military Control Commission."

"Now, the Central Bureau of Investigation has taken advantage of us!"

Tang Zong's position was the head of the sixth group of the attendant's office, that is, the head of the intelligence group. He was specifically responsible for transferring intelligence from the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission to the Chief Aide-de-Camp. He was also responsible for providing intelligence analysis and other tasks.

For such an important minister close to the emperor, whichever side he leans towards will benefit that side in every way.

Tang Zong did not seize the last chance given to him by the chief aide-de-camp, but was instead thrown into a sinkhole by Zhang Anping. After the investigation team returned to Chongqing, he was exiled to the cold palace, and the person who replaced him was a team leader from the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Zhang Anping said aggrievedly: "I can't do anything about it. He has shown his true colors. If I don't fight back, I will be the one who suffers."

"Besides, the people I pitted were from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and he just came up to fill the hole."

Dai Chunfeng naturally knew the whole story. He said this just to teach Zhang Anping a lesson:
"You have to learn to be kind to others. Some people, even opponents, can be cooperated with. The more leverage they have over you, the more dominant you will be when you cooperate. Do you understand?"

Be kind to others?

When hearing these words from Old Dai, Zhang Anping felt like laughing for some reason - Does it hurt when you, Dai Chunfeng, say these four words?
But then again, Lao Dai is indeed kind to others in politics.

What else can Zhang Anping do? He can only nod obediently:
"I understand."

Old Dai didn't know whether his nephew had listened or not, but since he had agreed, he couldn't continue to talk too much and could only change the subject:

"What is going on at the Loyal Rescue Army Headquarters?!"

Hearing Dai Chunfeng's question, Zhang Anping's expression became serious:
"Commander, this matter is due to the incompetence of the department."

Dai Chunfeng glared at Zhang Anping and said, "Don't talk about incompetence or competence. I want to know the truth!"

Zhang Anping showed shame on his face, and then told the story in detail about what happened at the headquarters of the Loyal Rescue Army.

As Zhang Anping spoke, Dai Chunfeng's expression gradually became calm, or rather, became profound and difficult to read - this was Dai Chunfeng's usual appearance, but he rarely showed it in front of Zhang Anping.

And now, what happened within the Zhongjiu Army made Dai Chunfeng instinctively put on this mask!
Zhang Anping seemed not to notice and continued telling the story.

It took a long time to tell not only the story of the "forcing the emperor to abdicate" by the top leaders of the Loyal Rescue Army, but also the truth that the Supervisory Office had long ago instigated Li Zheng to rebel, and that he used Li Zheng to dig a sinkhole to kill Emperor Tang.

After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for Dai Chunfeng's "judgment".

But Dai Chunfeng did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he waited for Zhang Anping to drink a cup of hot tea and then asked:

"what are you thinking?"

Zhang Anping put down his teacup and stood up, answering:

"In the final analysis, this matter is due to my lack of supervision. I did not notice this kind of thinking within the Loyal Rescue Army. This is very dangerous."

"So I set up a special detective department, which is responsible for monitoring the internal thoughts of the Loyal Rescue Army."

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping with burning eyes:
"that's it?"

Zhang Anping said in embarrassment: "Commander, I have two considerations. After much thought, I decided to keep things quiet."

"First, they did not betray the party and the country, nor did they betray the Zhongjiu Army. I was very angry at first, but Tan Zhongshu and his men were ready to fight. After thinking it over, I felt that there was no need to punish them."

"Second, their original intention was the same as mine at the beginning of the war. It is very likely that they were also influenced by me, but I eventually realized the threat of the Communist Party. As for them, perhaps because they had always been behind enemy lines, they only had eyes for the Japanese!"

"After all, this is my fault. Moreover, there are too many people involved this time, and it is difficult to handle. So after much thought, I decided to stop here."

There is one more thing Zhang Anping didn’t say:
The investigation team of the attendant's room has already issued a report. If we deal with them any further, it would be a slap in the face.

There is no need to make this clear, how could Dai Chunfeng not know it?

Faced with Zhang Anping's two points, Dai Chunfeng was naturally not convinced - this was completely different from his way of dealing with things.

He looked at Zhang Anping quietly until Zhang Anping showed embarrassment. Dai Chunfeng said slowly:
"Third, you are protecting your children. These are the people you brought up. You are reluctant to dispose of them, right?"

Zhang Anping smiled awkwardly: "The Director has a keen eye!"

Dai Chunfeng ignored Zhang Anping's flattery and tapped the table, wondering whether Zhang Anping's handling of the matter was inappropriate.

Although Zhang Anping's way of handling things is completely different from his own, everyone has different ways of dealing with things, and he will not force his nephew to do the same as himself.

After thinking it over again and again, he said, "Some things can only be done once, not twice. Do you understand?"

This is considered to be an agreement with Zhang Anping's approach.

Zhang Anping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "The department understands!"

Dai Chunfeng nodded, and then said, "Xu Baichuan, I think he should be transferred."

Zhang Anping's face suddenly fell:
"Uncle, if you transfer Old Xu away, you'll be chopping off my arm!"

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping quietly.

Zhang Anping said with a bitter face: "Commander, let me put it bluntly. Even if you put Zheng Yaoxian in the position of commander-in-chief, the level of trust between him and me will never exceed that between me and Old Xu!"

"If anyone else were to go, excluding dissidents would be a necessary move, but only Old Xu has unconditional trust in my people. If you were to replace Old Xu, I would never get involved in the Zhongjiu Army again!"

"I don't want to raise someone else's child for nothing."

Dai Chunfeng couldn't help laughing:

"You don't want to raise a child for someone else? Don't forget to look!"

Zhang Anping rolled his eyes: "How can it be the same?"

"Alright, alright, get out! Get out now! I'm annoyed by the sight of you! Last time you stayed in Chongqing for so long and didn't go home, your mom almost fought with me when she found out, get out now and go home!"

Zhang Anping asked cautiously:

"Old Xu, you're not going to move, are you?"

"How dare I touch your Chief Zhang's land? Get out of here!"

Faced with Old Dai’s deliberate stern gesture to drive him away, Zhang Anping reluctantly left, but after leaving the house he looked back and said:
"Old Xu, please don't move!"

"roll!"

嗖

Zhang Anping's head disappeared.

嘭

The office door was closed.

Dai Chunfeng sat down, and the anger on his face disappeared.

"You little bastard, you're becoming more and more disrespectful when talking to me!"

He made a complaint and then burst out laughing.

This was the first time that Zhang Anping openly took Zhongjiujun (military power) into his arms - if it were someone else, Dai Chunfeng would definitely find ways to kill him.

But he found it interesting when his nephew said that.

He had originally intended to hand over the Military Control Commission to Zhang Anping. Zhang Anping now realized the importance of military power and began to protect it. There was no need for him to go against his nephew in this regard.

Moreover, Zhang Anping was able to speak frankly, which might seem a bit immature, but for Dai Chunfeng, this was exactly what he wanted most.

Of course, the most important point is his nephew's loyalty to him.

"Although it's completely different from my style, he should be like a blind man eating dumplings, so he knows what's going on. There's no need to force it."

Dai Chunfeng said this slowly, turning the page on this matter in his mind.
