Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 716 [Battle of the Imperial Palace]

The army stationed in Shanghai actually had no intention of engaging in direct combat with the navy.

From their perspective, this time it was nothing more than me being tough and then you compromising - I compromised when you were tough, and now my people have died in your hands, so I am tougher and you compromise.

In order to create a strong and determined image, the army stationed in Shanghai dispatched two battalions and brought heavy weapons to show their toughness and determination. Damn army idiots, did you see my determination? If you see it, just cooperate honestly!
But people are often embarrassed little by little in this way.

And things were pushed out of control little by little.

When the sound of gunfire swept away a dozen Special High Section agents who had crossed the line, everything was beyond redemption.

"fire!"

With an angry roar, the infantry artillery on the army side began to roar.

The target of their roar was the navy base.

Boom boom boom boom
The shells landed in the naval base, and with the sound of explosions, plumes of black smoke rose in the naval base.

"Bagya Road!"

Although the navy was prepared for a tough response, and even the black barrels of the ship's guns on the sea were aimed at the army's idiots, they thought that at most there would be a rifle exchange of fire - who could have imagined that the damn army's idiots would dare to fire!
How dare you fire at the great navy!
Since you dare to do it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth!

You guys, with a caliber as small as an army deer drain pipe, dare to jump in front of naval guns?
"fire!"

Following Kuroki Shigenobu's order, the naval guns on the sea began to roar.

Projectiles with calibers far exceeding those of the army's infantry artillery fell from the sky and exploded among the army's crowd. With every explosion, a dozen or more Japanese soldiers were easily knocked over by the shock wave, just like the fireworks celebrating the New Year.

The army is furious. How brave, how brave!

"fight back!"

"attack!"

The war inevitably began to expand at this moment, and the angry army began to attack despite the bombardment of naval guns.

But they underestimated the navy's defense. When they rushed towards the naval base, they were greeted by the roar of heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

New soldiers are afraid of cannons, and old soldiers are afraid of machine guns!
Only those who have fought on the battlefield know the lethality and suppressive power of machine guns on infantry.

When the charging army elk encountered the navy elk's well-prepared machine gun positions, they began to fall to the ground one after another like wheat being mowed.

The battle had reached this point, and the two hostile parties now regarded each other as mortal enemies, and there was no possibility of holding back - no, from the very beginning, the navy had been prepared for a bloody battle!
The anger of the Army Elk was finally extinguished by the large-scale deaths. After realizing that this attack was just a way to send people to die, the Army Elk began to retreat. With the continuous "farewell" of naval gun shells, the Army Elk, after having lost several heads, finally withdrew from the battlefield.

The next step for the Army Idiots is naturally to call for reinforcements, increase heavy firepower, and accumulate strength!
……

The secret base of Shanghai Station.

Zheng Yi handed a telegram of several pages to Zhang Anping: "Commander, this is a telegram from the Japanese army that we just intercepted. Judging from the code, it should be from the navy."

The telegram has not been deciphered, but judging from the thickness of these several pages, it obviously "carries" a lot of information.

Zheng Yi never understood why Zhang Anping paid attention to these things. She was even confused about what Zhang Anping had done during this period.

Although she knew that Zhang Anping would not do useless work, she still couldn't understand Zhang Anping's mysterious arrangements recently.

Just like the telegram in front of us - intercepting the opponent's telegram is not difficult for telecommunications work. The Songhu Command has several radio stations specifically used to decipher the Japanese army's telegrams, but there are no corresponding secret telegram books or code books. In the final analysis, the intercepted telegrams are just a bunch of Morse codes.

Zhang Anping had no idea what Zheng Yi was thinking. He took the telegram and slowly flipped through the pages, even though he couldn't understand the content.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A picture appeared in his mind:
Several Japanese major generals were reporting to the Navy Ministry what they had seen and heard - as for the content, it must be about what happened to the damn army idiots.

He was about to speak when he heard Xu Tian's hurried footsteps.

Then Xu Tian rushed in quickly and reported directly: "District Commander, something happened. There was an unusual movement of Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai. Two battalions of devils are gathering in the city."

Gathering in the city?
Zhang Anping frowned slightly. What were the Japanese going to do?
The main operational forces of the Shanghai Station have all been evacuated, and are now lurking in the form of intelligence teams. What are the Japanese army going to do by assembling two battalions?
Although he was trying to sow discord between the Japanese navy and the army, he never thought that the two sides would fight each other - his starting point was to deepen the contradiction between the two and let them perform more "magic operations" on the battlefield in the future.

For example, the navy does not provide artillery cover for the army, the navy does not escort the army's supply ships, for example, the navy ignores the army at critical moments and sits back and watches the army get beaten up.

In fact, these things often happen between the Japanese navy and the army, but they are not a common phenomenon. Zhang Anping wants to add fuel to the fire and make this kind of mutual betrayal a normal occurrence.

The beneficiary of this is actually the US military, and Zhang Anping's purpose is simple:
This will make the US military intelligence system pay more attention to themselves.

It's almost like paving the way for the future.

He didn't even think about the possibility of a conflict between the Japanese navy and the army - we were all adults, so we should use some brains to do things, right? How could there be a conflict between the navy and the army?
So faced with the strange troop movements of the Japanese army, Zhang Anping was completely confused.

He asked Xu Tian: "We don't have any large-scale operations here, right?"

Xu Tian shook his head to deny it.

After the propaganda offensive, the Shanghai Station entered a dormant state as usual, with only a few subversion teams working - no matter how active these subversion teams were, the Japanese would not need to use two battalions to deal with them, right?
If the Japanese really did this, it would be like two people swearing in the street, and the other person directly took out the phone and called the alien fleet.

"Is it targeting that side?" Zhang Anping waved his hand calmly: "Just keep watching - no need to notify them!"

Xu Tian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then went out to continue monitoring.

Zhang Anping signaled to Zheng Yi that he could leave as well. After the two of them left, his expression became serious.

【Is there any action from the organization?】

【It shouldn’t be...】

Zhang Anping pondered:

[If there is any action, it must be prepared in advance. Lao Cen will not fail to tell me. ]

While he was thinking, Xu Tian's hurried footsteps were heard again.

After he broke in for the second time, his usually calm face had an inexplicable expression, as if he had heard something incredible, and his worldview was greatly shocked. He then said:
"They're targeting the naval base!"

"what?"

Zhang Anping also spoke in an inappropriate manner.

Xu Tian repeated: "It has been confirmed, it is a naval base!"

Zhang Anping was stunned and said in confusion: "No way? The fake sisterhood between the Japanese navy and the army is so...can't stand the test?"

This strange sentence left Xu Tian confused.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound, like thunder.

Xu Tian instinctively looked out the window. The sky was clear and cloudless, so where did the thunder come from?

But Zhang Anping could clearly tell that it was the sound of artillery: "Infantry artillery!"

The next second, an even louder roar was heard.

Naval gun!

And that was the sound just now of the roar of small-caliber land artillery.

Zhang Anping, the instigator of all this, widened his eyes and said, "Fuck, this sound doesn't sound like a warning!"

Did they really fight?
The fake sisterhood between the Japanese navy and the army was broken like this? They used artillery directly?
The dense gunfire that followed made him and Xu Tian stare at each other. Zhang Anping was stunned, while Xu Tian's eyes were full of shock.

Xu Tian knew that Zhang Anping had been trying to stir up conflicts among the Japanese troops in recent days, but Xu Tian felt that Zhang Anping could at most make the Japanese navy suspicious of the army.

But now the sound of gunfire seemed to be saying: Doubt? What doubt? Just fight to the death!

……

The army stationed in Shanghai was aggressive.

But from the very beginning, it was not prepared to tear its face apart. After all, the army's actions were added up.

The Navy was completely like a barking dog - from the very beginning, the Navy was prepared to tear its enemies apart, otherwise it would not have been possible to deploy so many machine gun positions.

So the final result is of course unintentional.

The army, which had left behind more than a hundred corpses in one breath, was frantically gathering its forces. Large-caliber field artillery was dragged in and stuffed into civilian houses, and even several "tin cans" in the maintenance shop were driven out.

The navy was not to be outdone and reinforced its positions, preparing for a bloody battle to the end.

But for both of them, the real battle at this time is actually outside the battlefield.

……

Tokyo, the Navy Ministry's confidential meeting room.

The topic of this meeting was originally to discuss the telegram sent by the special investigation team.

Because the report sent by the special investigation was too sensational, even though the Navy Ministry had been hostile to the Army for many years, the senior officials on the Navy Ministry side still found it quite fantastic.

Ito Seiichi, the Vice Chief of the Military General Staff, who was extremely at odds with the Army, said angrily: "The Army is going too far! They dare to do it on the first day, so we must do it on the fifteenth!"

Nakazawa Yu, who was in charge of intelligence affairs, advised: "Mr. Ito, please calm down! This report is full of speculations, there is no evidence at all!"

"Evidence? Do we still need evidence?" a radical officer angrily said, "The army idiots have lost all their dignity now! The head of the Special High Section can kill people just by saying so! Is there anything they can't do?!"

A war of words began.

The radical officers believed that the case should be brought immediately to the emperor, the shameless face of the army must be exposed, and the army must be held responsible for Yamamoto's death.

However, some rational officers insisted that without evidence, they could not attack the army for the time being - they could not fight an unprepared battle.

Faced with the serious disagreements below, the two naval giants attending the meeting were also overwhelmed.

It is a joke to accuse the Army of this without any evidence.

However, the performance of the radicals in the conference room made them feel troubled - behind each of these radical officers, there was the power of a navy.

Their attitude is often that of a naval force.

The two giants looked at each other in the fierce quarrel, and saw helplessness and exhaustion in each other's eyes.

I can’t imagine how intense the reaction will be within the navy after the news of Yamamoto’s death and the special investigation team’s report are released!
The two exhausted giants intended to stop the fierce quarrel, but before they could say anything, the door of the confidential meeting room was slammed open by a colonel in panic.

"idiot!"

A giant said angrily: "How shameful!"

The meeting room suddenly became quiet after the indirect criticism.

The colonel who broke into the meeting room apologized and reported quickly without waiting for the giant to speak:

"Something happened! The Shanghai Army stationed in Shanghai attacked the naval base, causing heavy casualties to the navy. The navy had no choice but to fight back, and the two sides have already started fighting!"

As soon as the colonel finished speaking, the eyes of several naval generals in the conference room turned red.

idiot!

This is not a matter of going too far, it's simply riding on someone's head and peeing and shitting!

The moderates who had just explained the evidence to the radicals were also angry. How dare they attack the great navy?!
There is a saying that the military's morale can be used, but conversely, it can also be called coercion.

Because of the navy colonel's report, the naval generals in the entire conference room instantly unified their positions, and huge pressure fell directly on the two naval giants.

"Bagya Road!"

The naval giant could only stand up angrily:

"Let's go see the Emperor and ask him to convene a royal meeting immediately!"

……

The Navy Ministry was blown up, and the Army Ministry was also blown up.

When the news of the tragic casualties of hundreds of people came, the Army Ministry, which had to cooperate with the Navy's "mischief" because of Yamamoto's death, really couldn't bear it anymore.

Deceiving too much!

Kneel your nose and hit your face!
Riding on the head and peeing and shitting!
The Army Ministry immediately called Private Tojo. Faced with the will of the entire Army Ministry, Private Tojo asked the giants of the Army Ministry to come to him and go to see the Emperor to request a royal meeting.

The two groups met in front of the Imperial Palace (the Japanese call the Imperial Palace the Imperial Palace) by some strange coincidence.

The army, backed by Prime Minister Private Tojo, launched a verbal offensive against the navy.

The Army Ministry's idea is very simple. You navy idiots first used the excuse of investigation to kill my officers, and then caused tragic casualties to my army in the conflict. You are in the wrong, so just keep it to yourself when I scold you.

The navy saw that the guy who bought a watch last year cheated our giant and attacked our naval base, and now he is blaming us with a clear conscience?
Bah, what dares to spit on me!

Beat the fuck up!

Thus, in front of the Imperial Palace, several naval generals and the army arrived and a fierce battle broke out. If one person represented a fleet or a division, it would be equivalent to almost half of Japan's military forces being deployed in this Battle of the Imperial Palace.

Private First Class Tojo was still planning to use his authority as the Prime Minister to take sides, but this angered the naval generals who were holding back their anger and had red eyes. It was unknown who (most likely the Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Matoi Ugaki) kicked the private first class hard on the butt, and the private who was trying to take sides was kicked four or five meters away and fell to the ground.

The emperor, who rarely left the palace, was alarmed and had to come out of the palace and go to the scene of the "Battle of the Imperial Palace" in person - it took a lot of effort to finally quell the battle.

People from both sides returned to their respective positions, each with bruised and swollen faces.

"What a shame!"

The Licking Emperor roared angrily.

……

Thirty-eight minutes after the Battle of the Imperial Palace ended, the Imperial Conference was held.

The original intention was to use this meeting to clarify the misunderstanding between the two parties, but when such a huge grudge has already been formed, how can there be any misunderstanding?
There is no misunderstanding, right?
Even though the Emperor wanted to use his influence to make both sides resolve their differences, the responses from both sides were just one sentence:

"From today on, the Navy will never provide a transport ship to the Army in New Guinea!"

"The Army Air Force won't give any of its bombs to the Navy!"

The attitudes of both sides made Licking Emperor angry. Although he was angry, he thought that this was the end of the incident.

In order to be fair, the generals involved in the incident were not dealt with.

The Battle of the Imperial Palace came to an end.

But what happened later proved that the impact of this [Battle of the Imperial Palace] was greatly underestimated.
