Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 711 Zhang Anping: Okamoto Heiji must die!
When the news of the destruction of Yamamoto Isoroku's escort formation and the crash of his plane reached the Combined Fleet, several deputies of the Combined Fleet were stunned on the spot.

They immediately launched the search and rescue operation and reported the news to the Navy Department.

The head of the Combined Fleet is known as the Big Three together with the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of the Navy (Chief of the Naval General Staff). He can be said to be one of the soul figures of the Navy. Faced with this bad news, the Navy's first reaction was to block the news and conduct secret rescue. At the same time, they immediately pretended that Yamamoto was commanding the Combined Fleet in order to confuse the Americans and prevent them from seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

What's more, when the Combined Fleet created the illusion that Yamamoto Isoroku was still in command, the U.S. Navy was really fooled - they didn't dare to believe that they could kill Yamamoto Isoroku so easily, so after "seeing" that Yamamoto Isoroku was still in command, they immediately made a judgment:
Although the precise sniping was successful, the target of the sniping might have been other generals of the Combined Fleet, and definitely not Yamamoto Isoroku.

On April 4, a search team belonging to the 19th Army found the body of Isoroku Yamamoto in the dense forest of Bougainville Island. Two 17mm Browning machine gun bullets ended his life before his plane crashed.

The Japanese were well prepared. After discovering Yamamoto's body, they immediately started the succession procedure. Koga Mineichi took over as commander of the Combined Fleet. When the news was deciphered by the U.S. military, they confirmed that the ambush on April 4 had successfully "sniped" Yamamoto Isoroku.

Unfortunately, due to the illusion created by the Japanese, they did not take advantage of the most chaotic days after Yamamoto's death to take military action and failed to maximize their benefits.

But even so, the US military was still extremely excited. They resisted the urge to publicize it immediately and arranged for Zok to contact Zhang Anping to discuss how to announce this good news.

The reason why the US military did this was naturally to protect the source of intelligence, so as to prevent the intelligence channels in Zhang Anping's hands from being discovered by the Japanese army due to propaganda.

……

In Shanghai, Zhang Anping read the telegram sent by Zok and responded without hesitation.

His response was simple:
The intelligence comes from the Military Control Commission!
Zoker frowned after receiving the reply and sent another message to ask whether this would affect the hidden agents. Zhang Anping called back and told Zoker that the Americans could just go ahead with the propaganda boldly, and he had already prepared a feast for the Japanese - the only requirement was that the U.S. military had to wait two days before carrying out the propaganda.

After seeing Zhang Anping's reply, Zok felt relieved and immediately communicated with the Pacific Fleet. The fleet did not resist Zhang Anping's request and agreed to carry out large-scale publicity in two days.

Two days!

Zhang Anping now only has two days to complete the remaining layout.

……

Qianyu Teahouse, Shanghai.

Shen Xiuwen was wearing a kimono, like a serious Japanese devil. At this moment, he was in the private room, looking at the young man in front of him leisurely.

The young man was a serious Japanese and an assistant to a professor.

However, at this time, the young man's forehead was covered with sweat.

Because Shen Xiuwen pushed a small box in front of him, and after opening the box, the contents were revealed - six golden bars.

Swallowing hard, and forcing his eyes away from the golden bars, the young man said in a hoarse voice:

"Mr. Shen, if you have no merit, you will not be rewarded."

The young man had done many transactions with Shen Xiuwen before, and the information he wanted to sell was very simple, which was the progress of certain research conducted by the professor he was assisting - each transaction in the past was just a gold bar.

And now, there were six gold bars in front of him.

Big fish often appear in storms, and the young man understands this very well.

"Mizuno-kun, you probably don't know our rules - honest transactions, no cheating on anyone."

Shen Xiuwen promotes his own ideas like an extremely upright businessman.

He continued, "What you need to do is very simple. Just 'unconsciously' provide some irrelevant information to Professor Suzuki."

The young man asked in a hoarse voice: "What information?"

Shen Xiuwen said softly: "Imperial Ship Hidden."

Mifunekura!
The young man was shocked, because this information was included in his previous transaction with Shen Xiuwen - Professor Suzuki, whom he assisted at the time, deciphered the word "Mifunezo" in the secret message, but because these three words were a code, he did not figure out who the code referred to.

The young man said with difficulty: "That's all? But this... isn't worth that much, right?"

Shen Xiuwen smiled and said, "Mr. Shuiye, don't forget our code of conduct: honest transactions, no cheating!"

But this sentence has another meaning:
This matter is very important, and even though it is responsible, it is not worth six gold bars!
The young man swallowed his saliva again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Shen, after this transaction is over, there will be no connection between you and me, okay?"

Shen Xiuwen looked at the Japanese named Mizuno in astonishment, then laughed: "It seems that Mizuno-kun has saved enough wealth, so I have to congratulate Mizuno-kun-"

He thought for a moment, then took out a stack of Japanese yen and gently pushed it in front of the young man:
"Mizuno-kun, we have cooperated for a long time. These are my gifts to you. I wish you a happy marriage."

Shen Xiuwen's behavior suddenly touched Mizuno. He even felt regretful, but he was brainwashed by militarism after all. He immediately suppressed his regret and said after taking the money:
"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"I will definitely help Mr. Shen achieve this, but we won't know each other even if we meet in the future."

Shen Xiuwen picked up the wine glass:
"We met but did not know each other."

After clinking the glasses, Shen Xiuwen drank the sake in the glass, then watched with a smile as Mizuno pocketed the gold bars and left.

After the other party left, Shen Xiuwen whispered quietly: "Now even the taste of sake is not as good as before. It seems that the life of the little Japanese is getting more and more miserable."

He sat alone for about ten minutes before leaving the Japanese restaurant and going home directly. However, no one noticed that when he passed by a grocery store on his way home, he quietly made a secret gesture towards the grocery store - this was to convey a message to the grocery store, telling them to check if he was being followed.

And if someone is following him, someone will warn him where he lives.

Of course, this method is very resource-consuming - only the head of the intelligence team will receive such treatment.

There was no warning message at the alley entrance, so Shen Xiuwen went home with peace of mind.

After turning on the light, Zhang Anping was seen sitting on the sofa, waiting silently.

Shen Xiuwen was not surprised. He said respectfully, "Teacher."

Zhang Anping whispered: "Solved?"

"Yeah. But Mizuno said he would do it after this job." Shen Xiuwen smiled: "He is now on my backup list."

Even though Shen Xiuwen agreed to Mizuno's conditions on the spot and even paid money to celebrate Mizuno's wedding - but since he was involved with the Military Control Commission, how could Shen Xiuwen really let Mizuno go?

As long as the need arises, Mizuno will eventually be unable to escape the fate of being activated, and he does not even have the qualifications to resist.

Of course, Mizuno would have to give up everything he had and surrender to the Japanese secret service.

But, will he be willing?

You have to know that his original intention of selling intelligence for money was to arrange a reasonable and legal identity for his fiancée who was afraid of being in the light. Now that he has got what he wanted and good days have come, will he be willing?

Zhang Anping naturally didn't care about Shen Xiuwen's specific work. Seeing that Shen Xiuwen had completed the task he had assigned him, he stood up and left. But after reaching the door, he turned around and said:
"Take off the dog skin quickly. It's annoying to see you."

Shen Xiuwen responded with a sound of grievance, thinking that it was you who arranged for me to be a traitor to Japan.

……

Shanghai Special High Section.

The Japanese Navy has temporarily kept secret the news of Yamamoto Isoroku's plane crash. Even the highest-ranking naval officer stationed in Shanghai is unaware of it, and the Special High Police, which is under strict surveillance by the Navy, is even less aware of it.

So at this time, the Special High Section was studying the intercepted telegram.

"The Shanghai Military Control Commission has never sent telegrams for a long time in the city, so we can be sure that this telegram is extremely important! Gentlemen, no matter what, we must find a way to decipher the contents of this telegram. Even if we can only decipher a few key words, it may be of unprecedented help to us!"

These words from the Special High Section Chief Takehiko Kurokawa put great pressure on the translation department.

However, it was expected that Kurokawa would exert such pressure. After all, after he took over as the head of the Special High Police, Shanghai seemed calm - but accidents happened frequently in recent days. First, Okamoto Heiji was rescued by the navy from the secret detention house of the Special High Police, and then the Military Control Commission launched the largest propaganda offensive since he took over, causing panic among the people.

The most infuriating thing was that they almost caught the Military Control Commission's radio operator, but a killer showed up halfway and slaughtered fifteen elite action agents by himself, and also caused four deaths and seven injuries to technicians due to a booby trap.

So Kurokawa couldn't wait to use the results of the battle to prove that he was not a freeloader.

His predecessors had all died at the hands of Zhang Shihao many times, and it was only after Heichuan took over that his luck had finally turned around. He couldn't possibly be beaten by the Military Control Commission again so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, right?
So he hoped to obtain useful information from the intercepted secret message and then make some achievements.

To this end, he invited a large number of cryptographers from all over the place to participate in the deciphering of this extremely long secret message - the sooner the useful information was deciphered, the easier it would be to help himself.

Kurokawa seemed to have good luck. The secret message was intercepted on April 4. On the 17nd, a cryptographer named Suzuki got inspiration from the Military Control Commission's previously invalidated code book and deciphered several key words.

"Mifunezo, performance?" Kurokawa was confused by the deciphered answer given by Suzuki.

He humbly asked, "Suzuki-kun, what do you think the word Mifunezou means?"

Suzuki smiled proudly: "After I cracked it, I was also confused at first, but after proofreading the countless secret messages I had seized in the past, I finally determined the meaning of the word Mifunezo - it is a code name!"

"A person's code name!"

"A person's code name? Mifunezou?" Kurokawa murmured in thought. Just as the cryptographer was about to explain, a flash of lightning flashed through Kurokawa's mind and a name came out of his mouth:

"Okamoto Heiji!"

Suzuki praised: "Kurokawa-kun is really a sharp thinker!"

If this word is translated into Japanese, its meaning is easy to understand.

Mifune is deeply tied to the navy, and Zang means warehouse as well as behind-the-scenes control - Okamoto Heiji is a perfect fit for this code name.

Kurokawa waved his hand and asked again: "What do you mean by 'performance'?"

"This..." Suzuki hesitated for a while and said, "I suspect it's an assassination."

Heichuan's pupils immediately contracted when he heard this.

Okamoto Heiji, assassination?

Could it be the assassination of Okamoto Heiji? !
Kurokawa asked in a serious tone: "Suzuki-kun, are you sure of this answer?"

"Kurokawa-kun," Suzuki said with a wry smile, "This is a code commonly used in secret messages. It's all based on guesswork and elimination. I'm not sure."

In fact, this was the answer Kurokawa wanted. After hearing what Suzuki said, he said in a deep voice, "Suzuki-kun, among all the code-breaking groups, you are the one who has made the most progress. I hope you will speed up the decryption. Even if you are only 70% or 80% sure, I can warn Okamoto-kun. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see. I'll go to work now."

After Suzuki left, Kurokawa's expression became playful.

If this is a secret message aimed at assassinating Heiji Okamoto, then...is it necessary for me to warn Okamoto?

There is no need, there is no need at all, there is absolutely no need!
Suzuki was not stupid and realized why the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to assassinate Okamoto Heiji - it was obvious that this was to intensify the conflict between the army and navy.

Logically, he should have given a warning in advance, so as to distance himself from the army and avoid exacerbating the conflict between the two.

But, there is no need!

Because Suzuki already has this intercepted secret message in his hands, if Okamoto Heiji is assassinated and the Military Intelligence Bureau wants to blame the Japanese, he can easily produce the secret message at the critical moment.

"I'm not sure about the authenticity of what Suzuki-kun has deciphered. I want to wait until I'm 70% to 80% sure before I issue a warning, so as not to be a villain. Is that a problem?"

Kurokawa Takehiko whispered his excuses and reasons, and the smile on his face could no longer be stopped.

With the death of Okamoto Heiji, Lord Dobi's lost face has finally been regained!
Kurokawa was very proud.

……

"I guess the Japanese people right now must be very excited."

On the way to the Naval Hospital, Zhang Anping also had a big smile on his face.

They are all conspirators. He can guess what the current head of the Special High Police is thinking with his eyes closed - the idea is nice, but what if he knew that Yamamoto Isoroku is dead?

What if he knew that Jiang Sian had previously slandered Yamamoto, saying that the Shanghai Garrison Command wanted to teach Yamamoto Isoroku a lesson and use this as an excuse to get back at Doju?

If Takehiko Kurokawa knew this, he would never do such a thing even if he was beaten to death!
However, the Japanese Navy blocked the news too strictly. Yamamoto Isoroku died, but the head of the Navy stationed in Shanghai, Kuroki, did not know, and Jiang Sian also "did not know"!
There is no way the Special High Police would know!
Therefore, Takehiko Kurokawa's behavior of trying to curry favor with Fatty Tokuda is destined to become a piece of evidence.

Of course, this is not the most "vicious" part of Zhang Anping's plan.

His real killer move is the code name "Mifunezo".

Suzuki deciphered the code name "Mifunekura", and he and Kurokawa Takehiko both believed that this code name referred to Okamoto Heiji.

But what if this code name refers to Isoroku Yamamoto?

This is also the reason why Zhang Anping smiled so much.

How did the Military Intelligence Bureau know the information about "Gofunezoku"?

Zhang Anping suppressed the smile on his face and drove slowly into the Naval Hospital.

Because it was night, Jiang Sian was the only one left in the busy ward. When he saw Zhang Anping coming in with the face of his "confidant", a sentence immediately popped up in Jiang Sian's mind:

Any news about Isoroku Yamamoto?
He looked at Zhang Anping expectantly: "Teacher?"

Jiang Sian has been waiting for news these days, but there has been no news from the navy, which makes him very disappointed and thinks that the interception has failed.

But the appearance of Zhang Anping rekindled his hope.

Zhang Anping nodded slightly.

An expression of ecstasy emerged on Jiang Sian's face. He tried to suppress his excitement, but... he was too excited. This was Isoroku Yamamoto, one of the three giants of the navy!
He could only grab the bed sheets tightly with both hands to soothe his agitated emotions.

Seeing Jiang Si'an like this, Zhang Anping decided to calm him down quickly.

"Pack up, we'll be out of the hospital right away."

Sure enough, Jiang Sian's agitated emotions calmed down after hearing this, and he asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Your 'confidant' - I, have discovered an extremely important piece of information!"

Jiang Sian was even more confused. He looked at Zhang Anping with a strange expression, his eyes like those of a college student in later generations.

"You just need to tell your butler this later - remember to keep a serious and solemn expression."

Facing Zhang Anping's instructions, Jiang Si'an felt very strange, but he still did as Zhang Anping asked. He called the housekeeper outside and said solemnly:
"I'm going out with Takahashi."

The housekeeper said worriedly: "President, your health..."

"He discovered a very important piece of information. I must go and see it for myself."

Faced with Jiang Sian's words, the housekeeper did not dare to ask any further questions and had to change Jiang Sian's clothes.

After changing into casual clothes, Jiang Sian said gloomily: "Takahashi, let's go."

"Hi Yi."

Zhang Anping responded in a proper manner, and under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper, he quietly took Jiang Sian out of the ward.

After getting in the car, Jiang Sian, who was sitting in the car, finally couldn't help but asked: "Teacher, what are we going to do?"

Zhang Anping finally told the truth: "Go and die."

"what?"

Jiang Sian's eyes widened.

Zhang Anping continued:
"Okamoto Heiji must die now!"

Jiang Sian was confused. He was just wondering if he would have to use the "torture tactic" again. He had performed the "torture tactic" quite a few times and had quite a bit of experience in it.

But I never expected the answer to be:
Okamoto Heiji must die!
"why?"

He looked puzzled.

Jiang Sian thinks that the identity of Okamoto Heiji is too important, so how can he give it up easily?
