Kingsman Agent in Film and Television
Chapter 725: Releasing Power with a Cup of Wine
Dai Chunfeng had been standing in front of the window of the simple bungalow, watching what Zhang Anping was doing through the window.
He saw everything, whether it was Zhang Anping's kicking of Xu Wenzheng and Mao Renfeng or the subsequent cleaning, but he never said a word and never tried to stop it.
Only after Zhang Anping had killed more than a dozen military dogs that were trained with human flesh did he utter a sentence in a gloomy voice:
"Goodness does not hold power..."
The secretary who had been standing behind him was stunned.
What do you mean?
Is Commander Zhang kind?
There were more than a dozen people in the military dog base, and all of them were killed without leaving a single one alive. Can this be called kindness?
Or does the boss hope that Commander Zhang will kill a few more people while the situation is going on?
The secretary was confused and bewildered.
But at this time, Dai Chunfeng walked out of the room with a gloomy face. Seeing Dai Chunfeng coming out, a group of military officers and senior officials with complicated emotions looked at him solemnly.
Dai Chunfeng stopped and glanced around coldly:
"You guys clean up the mess yourself."
After that, he stopped answering them, got into his car, and said gloomily:
"Walk."
As the car started, Lao Dai's car drove away in a cloud of dust, leaving only a puff of exhaust for the senior officials of the Military Control Commission to smell.
A group of senior military officials looked at each other in bewilderment. At this time, Mao Renfeng said, "Everyone, clean up the mess. This matter cannot be exposed to the public."
He showed no sign of shame and hatred after being kicked by Zhang Anping. He unbuttoned the first hole in his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and walked forward. He found a shovel and went to dig a hole. The others followed suit and found tools to start working. Some small spies came forward to help but were stopped.
Instead, Zhang Anping's direct descendants stood there indifferently, with no intention of helping at all.
Zhang Anping came over from the kennel and looked at the busy "labor" scene. He had no intention of getting involved, but just sent someone to ask for gasoline from the First Defense Division troops on guard outside.
A match was lit and fell to the ground, and a raging flame began to spread. Soon, the dormitories and office areas of the entire military dog base became a sea of fire.
As the flames burned, high-ranking officials of the Military Control Commission left one after another, and only Zhang Anping stared at the flames without saying a word.
As a lurker, the mistake he made today was hopelessly stupid.
Every time he "indulged himself" in the past, it was actually the result of weighing the pros and cons over and over again.
Whether it is arrogance or pretending to be stupid, it is all carefully prepared.
But this time, he did not consider any consequences and gave the order completely based on instinct.
It wouldn't be like this for anyone else.
He had lost his composure - but if it happened again, he would still stubbornly continue to do so.
A person's three views are formed since childhood - as a time traveler who grew up under the red flag, his three views are the three views of later generations. Even though he has become accustomed to this era, his three views have not undergone fundamental changes.
Feeding dogs with human flesh - just because beef is too expensive and they can't afford it, they feed dogs with human flesh. This kind of thing has a huge impact on his three views.
No matter how brutal the Japanese were, Zhang Anping would not be surprised, because in his eyes, the Japanese invaders were a group of beasts worse than animals. He could accept their cruel experiments on living people, their torture and killing of pregnant women, and their heinous crimes.
Because countless warriors are burying these beasts with their blood.
However, he really couldn't accept that his own people could be so brutal!
Although he never considered the Military Control Commission as his own.
[Well, let's use this incident to draw a red line that cannot be crossed! ]
He sighed silently in his heart, forced himself to suppress his huge negative emotions, and slowly turned around.
Behind him, the direct descendants of the bureau headed by Zheng Yi stood behind him silently like tall pine trees.
Zhang Anping's gaze swept across everyone's face, and seeing the anger in their eyes that was still blazing, his uncomfortable mood suddenly improved a lot.
But what follows is an extremely heavy sense of responsibility.
He has to be responsible for these passionate warriors who followed him and braved fire and water.
After a long while, Zhang Anping said softly:
"It's an honor... to fight alongside you."
No one answered, but they responded to Zhang Anping with burning gazes.
"Disband!"
At the order, the agents who were transferred from the Shanghai station to the bureau headquarters by Zhang Anping slowly dispersed.
Zheng Yi originally wanted to send Zhang Anping back, but after looking at Zhang Guanfu who had been waiting silently not far away, she gave up the impulse and followed the others to slowly leave this destroyed hell.
After everyone left, Zhang Guanfu slowly walked forward and stood side by side with his son.
Zhang Guanfu didn't say a word, but just accompanied his son silently.
Perhaps because there were no outsiders around, Zhang Anping suddenly spoke:
"Dad, I feel so bad."
At that moment, Zhang Guanfu seemed to have returned to the time when his son was a child.
Although Zhang Guanfu could not understand why his son acted like this - this incident did have a certain impact, but for the members of the Military Control Commission, even though it was dark and disgusting, it was not to the point of being unacceptable.
Zhang Anping's inappropriate behavior is really hard to understand.
But looking at Zhang Anping's pale face, Zhang Guanfu said softly:
"If you are tired, just get out of this muddy pit."
Hearing his father's words, Zhang Anping sighed slightly, quickly concealed the paleness on his face, and smiled:
"Dad, how can you talk about your job like that? Haha."
Looking at his smiling son, Zhang Guanfu said nothing, but just patted Zhang Anping's shoulder gently.
It is said that people have no choice when they are in the underworld. Now Zhang Anping has lost countless passionate men under his command. Zhang Anping can climb out of the mud, but what about them?
If they couldn't climb out, how could their son, with his temper, climb out?
……
The father and son rode home in silence all the way. When they arrived at the door of their home, they tacitly hid the heavy feelings on their faces.
After returning home, the two faced Wang Chunlian's storm together, and the pitiful eyes of the two little guys together.
Only Zeng Moyi smelled the blood on her husband's body and felt the lingering heaviness of her husband. She didn't say anything, but just gently held Zhang Anping's hand and didn't let go for a long time.
The two little guys were very smart. They made a fuss that night, but they never mentioned raising a dog again from the next day. The Zhang family never kept a pet since that day.
……
Although the Military Intelligence Bureau managed to destroy the bodies and all the evidence, all the crimes were wiped out under the personal supervision of Zhang Anping and a group of senior Military Intelligence Bureau officials. Although the Military Intelligence Bureau had been strictly blocking the news, the fact that the military dog base fed dogs with human flesh eventually spread quietly within the Military Intelligence Bureau.
The Chinese have very simple moral values. Even if they join the Military Intelligence Bureau, these simple moral values still exist. You know, many people in the Military Intelligence Bureau joined the organization not because they were bad people, but because they were passionate about serving the country.
Well, this is all thanks to Cen Yuyan who presided over the propaganda work before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance and whitewashed and promoted the Military Control Commission in the newspapers.
Although many people fell, more people still held on to the sentiment of serving the country. Faced with this news, these passionate warriors who joined the Military Control Commission simply for the sake of serving the country felt as if they were poured with a basin of cold water.
Under the general circumstances, they wouldn't say anything, but this incident was firmly engraved in their hearts, and they would never forget it in their lifetime.
……
When the human flesh feeding dog incident was circulating secretly, Dai Shanwu was completing the "homework" assigned to him by Zhang Anping.
The task assigned to him by Zhang Anping was:
Find out why Zhang Anping's soldiers arrested him.
So Dai Shanwu started the investigation after he was released from custody.
Things like these transfers were easy to investigate, and Dai Shanwu soon found out that the order was issued from the Operations Department of the Bureau Headquarters. He then investigated further up, but before he found any results, Mao Renfeng personally invited him to a banquet.
In Dai Shanwu's eyes, Smiling Tiger Mao Renfeng was just an elder who liked to laugh, so he went to the banquet without thinking much about it.
But after three rounds of drinking, Mao Renfeng told him a fact that shocked him:
The one who ordered the mobilization of Zhang Anping's direct subordinates was a director under him, because the other party knew Mr. Dai's identity and was afraid that someone else would not be able to control the situation.
Faced with Mao Renfeng's words, Dai Shanwu believed it without any doubt and drank the wine that Mao Renfeng gave him as an apology - and then, Mao Renfeng said, I was actually lying to you just now.
Dai Shanwu was stunned on the spot.
But at this time Mao Renfeng told the truth:
In fact, he was the one who mobilized the people.
Dai Shanwu asked stupidly: "Why?"
Mao Renfeng then told Dai Shanwu:
Because... I am the character that Boss Dai put forward to compete with Chief Zhang!
He then explained in detail.
In Mao Renfeng's explanation, it was naturally for the sake of checks and balances by the superiors - Zhang Anping's influence in the Military Control Commission was very large, almost to the point where he was second only to the emperor. In this case, if there was no one to check and balance him, it would only affect Boss Dai's authority.
And Mao Renfeng was pushed forward for the purpose of checks and balances.
Since the purpose is to balance power, we must naturally do everything we can to weaken Zhang Anping's power.
Dai Shanwu, who had almost no experience in political intrigue, was taught a lesson by Mao Renfeng.
But this was not Mao Renfeng's real purpose. After finishing the lesson on political intrigue, Mao Renfeng asked Dai Shanwu:
Why did you so easily believe the explanation I gave you the first time?
Dai Shanwu replied that it was because you are Uncle Mao.
He had known Mao Renfeng since he was very young, and was even held in his arms by Mao Renfeng more than once. It was Mao Renfeng who cleaned up the mess he made in Shanghai - if it hadn't been for Mao Renfeng, he would probably not even have gotten the result of dropping out of school.
Mao Renfeng smiled meaningfully and said, "Yes, Shanwu, you didn't expect that Uncle Mao would lie to you, right?"
After that, Mao Renfeng didn't instill anything, but Dai Shanwu felt like he was being stabbed in the heart.
Uncle Mao, who watched me grow up, lied to me, so what about my cousin?
After he returned, he kept thinking about it, and then asked someone secretly:
Why did Commander Zhang fight with Mao Renfeng?
After several inquiries, he finally got the "answer":
Because both of them were aiming for the position of the boss of the Military Control Commission.
In fact, Dai Shanwu guessed that it was because of this - and after the answers of many people confirmed his thoughts, he seemed to understand Mao Renfeng's warning.
[Zhang Anping is also lying to you.]
Because you are Boss Dai's biological son, and he is just his nephew. If you become powerful, you will be the one who will pose the greatest threat to him compared to me. 】
After this idea came up, Dai Shanwu connected many of the things Zhang Anping had done for him.
for example:
His "arrest" in Jinhua and Zhang Anping's "realization" of the cruelty of the intelligence industry...
[The purpose of all this he did was to make me give up on this business! He was afraid that I would compete with him! ]
It was obvious that the thorn that Mao Renfeng deliberately planted in Dai Shanwu's heart had successfully taken root in Dai Shanwu's heart.
This incident also made Dai Shanwu mature a lot overnight.
He did not tell anyone about his thoughts, but continued to complete the task assigned by Zhang Anping.
Soon, he completed thousands of words of investigation content according to the task assigned by Zhang Anping - and made relevant guesses.
Afterwards, he "excitedly" took the investigation report to find Zhang Anping.
……
Zhang Anping flipped through the investigation report given to him by Dai Shanwu, reading it word by word.
He was used to reading ten lines at a glance, so he controlled his temper and read it slowly, then said with a smile:
"It's better than I thought—"
Seeing Dai Shanwu's smile after being recognized, Zhang Anping asked back:
"What do you think?"
Dai Shanwu said with emotion:
"The heart is hidden in the belly!"
"Yes, people's hearts are hidden." Zhang Anping sighed and patted Dai Shanwu on the shoulder: "Since you don't want to leave this line of work, then remember these five words!"
"Learn from Ming Lou and the others and stop acting like Master Dai. You need people to know that you are Dai Shanwu, not Master Dai. Do you understand me?"
Dai Shanwu nodded seriously: "Cousin, I understand. I will control my temper in the future."
"I understand--you have nothing to do tonight?"
"No."
"Then I'll take you to get some food." "Okay."
Dai Shanwu had a smile on his face, as if it would be a great honor for him to go out with Zhang Anping.
Zhang Anping signaled Dai Shanwu to stay home for a while, as he had some work to do. He turned around and made a phone call with a gloomy face:
"Find out who Shanwu has been in contact with these days!"
Dai Shanwu was too naive after all. After he had a different opinion of Zhang Anping, although he deliberately put on his previous attitude when facing Zhang Anping, he was too naive after all. In the eyes of an old fox like Zhang Anping, it was simply "artificial"!
After all, Zhang Anping is a super master who is immersed in this art, while Dai Shanwu's level is too low after all.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Anping drove himself and took Dai Shanwu to "eat for free".
But when he arrived at the destination, Dai Shanwu was dumbfounded.
It turned out to be Dai Mansion.
"Cousin, you..."
"What are you talking about? Can't you just go back to your own home and eat and drink for free?"
Facing Zhang Anping's question, Dai Shanwu could only put on a bitter look, but he was thinking:
Zhang Anping's level is really high. He was obviously on guard against me, but he took care of me with ease in exchange for my father's gratitude.
By the way, there is also the investigation report I gave him - this report is for my father. The trap deliberately set up by Mao some time ago was broken so easily!
It’s really too high!
That’s right, at this moment, Dai Shanwu was wary of both Zhang Anping and Mao Renfeng.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that Mao Renfeng didn't care about his caution towards him at all. What he needed was Dai Shanwu to be cautious towards Zhang Anping.
The scheme set by Mao Renfeng was easily resolved by Zhang Anping, and as a result, Dai Shanwu became dissatisfied with him.
In that case, he would drag Zhang Anping into the water.
Now, Dai Shanwu is wary and dissatisfied with both of them. Doesn't it mean that he has not lost?
What's more, Mao Renfeng knew Dai Chunfeng very well, and he was very confident that Dai Chunfeng would give him a great assist in the future.
By then, Zhang Anping's position in Dai Shanwu's heart will inevitably be shaken, and this is what Mao Renfeng most hopes for.
……
Military Control Commission, headquarters.
The secretary walked towards Dai Chunfeng lightly:
"Boss, I just got a call from home. Officer Zhang and Young Master are here."
"Are they all here?" Dai Chunfeng whispered to himself, then suddenly smiled and said, "Make arrangements. I'll be back soon."
The secretary was puzzled by the sudden smile, but he still followed the order and made the arrangements.
After the secretary left, Dai Chunfeng looked out the window again - he liked to look out the window from a high position, which always gave him a feeling of looking down from a high position.
But this time, his focus was not on the busy Military Intelligence Bureau agents below.
After a long time, Dai Chunfeng whispered softly:
"You've had such a smooth journey, you bastard..."
"You probably forgot one thing. Even if it was given to you by me, you took it not because it was natural, but because it was... given to you by me!"
Dai Chunfeng hesitated for several days about this matter.
For him, there was no more suitable successor than Zhang Anping in the entire Military Control Commission.
There is no doubt about this.
But Zhang Anping was too stubborn, and when he got angry, he would do things without considering the consequences.
During the Battle of Shanghai, Dai Chunfeng could never forget a list of assassinations, but Zhang Anping's performance in the past few years made him gradually let go of his grudge. Unexpectedly, Zhang Anping caused this incident again a few days ago.
He was not angry at Zhang Anping for personally executing the people at the military dog base.
He even approved of some of Zhang Anping's methods of handling the matter - for example, sealing off the scene immediately to prevent the news from getting out and putting him in a passive position.
But, does Zhang Anping really care about him, the director of the Military Control Bureau?
Moreover, Zhang Anping's last words also made him feel uneasy:
"All those who have lost all conscience in the Military Control Commission..."
"Kill without mercy!"
He could say this because the rules of the Military Control Commission were set by him, Dai Chunfeng!
But can Zhang Anping say this?
There was also a means - this matter could obviously be told to him directly, and then he could bring a group of senior Military Control Commission officials here, but Zhang Anping chose to "catch all" the core members of the Military Control Commission in a manner that was almost a mutiny.
Is this... showing off his muscles?
Indeed, Dai Chunfeng, who saw Zhang Anping's distraught state with his own eyes, knew that his nephew did not mean that. This order was completely issued by his nephew in anger after he had lost his mind.
But, after all, it was challenging Dai Chunfeng's authority!
He can clean up Zhang Anping's mess, but he cannot tolerate anyone challenging his authority!
You, Zhang Anping, are not yet the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau - even if you are still the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the future, I, Dai Chunfeng, will still be the emperor of the Military Intelligence Bureau!
Dai Chunfeng did not want to severely punish Zhang Anping.
But if he doesn't teach Zhang Anping a lesson and let him realize that there are some things he can't do, it will not be beneficial for him to control the Military Control Commission in disguise in the future.
So after thinking it over again and again, Dai Chunfeng finally made up his mind.
……
Dai Mansion.
Dai Chunfeng, who rushed back from the bureau headquarters, did not show any sign of surprise. Instead, during dinner, he scolded Zhang Anping and Dai Shanwu as usual.
Zhang Anping also seemed to be normal. Facing Dai Chunfeng's scolding, he sometimes nodded and nodded, sometimes made all kinds of excuses, and sometimes even flattered him, just like he did in the past.
After dinner, Dai Chunfeng took the two of them to the study.
Dai Chunfeng suggested: "Let's have a drink - and talk while we drink."
Zhang Anping naturally would not refute. He consciously took the wine and wine glasses and poured wine for the three people like a host. Dai Shanwu on the side looked at him stupidly, but the coldness that flashed in his eyes showed that he was not so calm in his heart.
"Uncle, look at this."
After pouring the wine, Zhang Anping handed Dai Shanwu's investigation report to Dai Chunfeng.
Dai Chunfeng took it and flipped through it, his expression normal. After reading it, he wanted to say "I'll ask someone to help write it", but he held back the words and changed them to:
"not bad."
Dai Shanwu's eyes showed joy, it was rare to be recognized by his father.
He asked cautiously, "Dad, can I move back home?"
Dai Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, and was actually surprised. He suppressed his smile and said lightly: "This is your home, you can come whenever you want."
Dai Shanwu immediately said, "I'll stay here tonight."
Zhang Anping smiled like an auntie, looking very happy.
Dai Chunfeng was in a good mood and picked up his glass:
"drink."
The three of them clinked their glasses. Zhang Anping and Dai Shanwu's glasses were naturally slightly lower, but Dai Shanwu did not deliberately lower his glass than Zhang Anping's. Instead, his glass was slightly higher.
After casually glancing at Dai Shanwu, Zhang Anping smiled helplessly in his heart. This child is really... naive!
After drinking a glass of wine, Dai Chunfeng's expression turned serious. He looked at Zhang Anping and said softly:
"Anping, is the cooperation office busy?"
The Military Intelligence Bureau reached a cooperation agreement with the US intelligence agency, and the two sides jointly established the Sino-US Cooperation Office. The person in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau was Dai Chunfeng - but Dai Chunfeng was just a figurehead, and specific affairs were handled by Zhang Anping, who served as deputy director.
For example, Zhang Anping was fully responsible for the training camp for personnel behind enemy lines, the special agent training camp, etc.
"busy."
Zhang Anping put down his glass and answered solemnly, "The Americans are watching very closely and have many demands. It is not easy to spare the time this time."
"Yes, our allies know your value. They say you are as valuable as two American-equipped divisions. They finally caught you, so how could they not use you to death?"
Dai Chunfeng sighed and said seriously, "But the cooperation is the top priority of our military control. No matter how many demands our allies make, you must satisfy them. Do you understand?"
"I know."
"Yeah," Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly and said, "Come to think of it, I didn't pay attention. I always wanted to add burdens to you. Now your allies are squeezing you so hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"How about this--"
Dai Chunfeng stared at Zhang Anping intently:
"Don't worry about the stations in the Beijing-Shanghai area. It's not a good idea for Tianfeng to be tied to me all the time. I plan to rebuild the Beijing-Shanghai area and let Tianfeng be in charge. What do you think?"
He looked at Zhang Anping motionlessly, waiting for Zhang Anping's answer.
Zhang Anping's answer was straightforward:
"can."
Dai Chunfeng smiled and asked:
"Wu Jingzhong wants to make some moves recently, but I always feel that he has a bad temper. What do you think about letting him be in charge of the Northeast Region?"
The Northeast District is the intelligence district with the largest jurisdiction among the Military Control Commission’s district stations, but its presence is very low. However, the Northeast, like the Shanghai Station, is Zhang Anping’s most direct line of succession.
Zhang Anping was silent for a while:
"Old Wu is more stable now, I think it's okay."
Dai Chunfeng smiled again, and then asked again:
"I still can't get over what happened to the Zhongjiu Army last time. What do you think about letting Shen Zui be the Chief Inspector?"
This time Zhang Anping remained silent even longer.
But he still responded:
"I don't know him very well, but if you say yes, then it must be okay."
Dai Chunfeng laughed. Compared with his previous laugh, this time his laugh seemed to have no other meaning. After he finished laughing, he said:
"It's just right that they are reducing your burden. You should just stay in the cooperative office. It's time to polish your temper."
"Come on, drink!"
Zhang Anping picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Dai Chunfeng and drank it all in one gulp. However, when he put the glass down, perhaps because he moved too hard or what, he accidentally tipped the glass onto the table.
Dai Shanwu, who was standing by, took it all in silently, with a serious expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As the saying goes, it is not the wine that makes you drunk, but the people who make it. After the three of them drank more than two kilograms of wine, Zhang Anping vomited all over the place, then fell headfirst on the table and fell asleep.
Glancing at the drunk Zhang Anping and then at his son who was not drunk at all, Dai Chunfeng said with a smile:
"You can drink."
"But I won't drink anymore - find someone to help Anping go to bed."
Dai Shanwu nodded: "Well, Dad, how about I make you a bowl of hangover soup?"
Dai Chunfeng smiled happily in response to his son's care.
"No, this little bit of wine won't make me drunk."
Then he waved his hand to signal Dai Shanwu to find someone to help Zhang Anping down. After Dai Shanwu and the servants helped Zhang Anping leave, Dai Chunfeng hid the smile on his face and shook his head slowly.
"After all, this kid isn't as open-minded as he appears to be!"
"But... that's fine!"
"It's better to learn a lesson than to go along with it!"
……
In the guest room, Zhang Anping opened his eyes in the darkness, but made a snoring sound.
Old Dai has reduced his power!
This was exactly what he expected.
This time, what he did was indeed ill-considered.
Zhang Anping didn't care about this kind of power reduction - he even hoped that Old Dai would come to cut his power.
Because from the beginning to the end, he never thought about taking the position of the future director of the Security Bureau.
He can't sit.
Only by letting Mao Renfeng sit on the throne and fighting with him himself would the situation he had envisioned be fulfilled.
"But, will this gaffe make Old Dai have other associations?"
This is what Zhang Anping is most worried about. (End of this chapter)
