Sino-US Cooperation Agency behind-enemy-lines personnel training camp.

Zhang Anping looked at the telegram and thought: As expected.

Well, as expected, Zhang Anping successfully received the task from the "NPC":

Destroy military aid to the Eighth Route Army.

There are two more words in front:

be sure.

Zhang Anping curled his lips secretly and thought to himself that if I didn't plan to cheat America in the future, I would have kept all these things and exhibited them as cultural relics to prevent some stupid Apple fans from barking at me all the time.

Calming his mind, Zhang Anping burned the telegram and began preparations for the big show.

……

The Chief of Staff (Chief of Staff of the China Theater) was obviously annoyed by the Nationalist Army's passive avoidance of war. After receiving the order from the mainland, he immediately went to the Chief Aide-de-Camp to "show off his power":
The Communist army must be incorporated into the command system. From now on, the National Army's American-equipped divisions that have completed the re-equipment should immediately go to the front line and prepare for a counterattack, and should not hide in Yunnan.

The Chief of Staff knew the Chief Aide-de-Camp too well and he knew that the Chief Aide-de-Camp would never agree.

Sure enough, after the Chief of Staff made his request, the Chief Aide-de-camp responded with his catchphrase, and the Chief Aide-de-camp righteously told the Chief of Staff:
I would like to propose to you once again to replace you!

The Chief of Staff was furious:
It's unreasonable! Go and complain to Mr. Franklin - I have decided to provide military aid to the Eighth Route Army now!
The chief attendant said angrily:

you dare!

chief of staff:
Do you think I would dare to do that?

The meeting between the two ended unpleasantly. After leaving the attendant room, the chief of staff immediately sent a representative to meet with the representative of the Communist Party of China in Chongqing, and at the same time ordered:
Make a plan for military aid to the Eighth Route Army, but do not implement it for now!
It is obvious that the two thousand-year-old foxes were just acting - the chief of staff did not point out that the chief of staff had received instructions from mainland America, and the chief of staff did not say that this was authorization given to him by mainland America.

After all, the Chief of Staff knew that in the Chinese theater, the commander-in-chief's will was the real will, and he was unwilling to completely turn against the commander-in-chief unless it was absolutely necessary.

His purpose and the local purpose are actually very simple:
It was to force the Nationalist government to give up its efforts to preserve its strength and to fight the Japanese in earnest.

The chief aide-de-camp did not want to completely break off relations. Once the truth was revealed, he would have no room for maneuver, so it was better for him to pretend to be ignorant.

……

Currently, American aid to China can only be delivered via the Hump Route, with two unloading destinations:
Chengdu and Kunming.

Because Chengdu is close to Chongqing, most of the materials transported to it are "hatted" and will be directly distributed to the troops that have been designated in advance - most of these troops are garrisons on the Chongqing defense line.

Because Kunming is located in the rear area against the Japanese army in Burma, there are more supplies stored here, and the Americans control the authority to distribute the supplies. If they want to provide military aid to the Eighth Route Army, the supplies must be allocated from Yunnan.

Having received the task, Zhang Anping naturally had to come to Kunming.

At the beginning of the new year of 1944, Zhang Anping flew to Kunming.

After arriving in Kunming, Zhang Anping went directly to a military station near the Wujiaba Airport without alarming anyone. It was called a military station, but in fact it was the headquarters of the Yunnan-Burma Highway Intelligence Station.

When the Yunnan-Burma Highway was opened, in order to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Zhang Anping reported to the bureau headquarters and set up a Yunnan-Burma Intelligence Station. Most of the members of the intelligence station were from Zhang Anping's subordinates, and Yu Zecheng was in charge.

After the closure of the Burma Road, Yu Zecheng was transferred to the Northeast to "open up wasteland", but the Burma Road Intelligence Station was preserved. Now the station headquarters is located in a military station near the Wujiaba Airport. Its specific function has also changed from guarding the Burma Road to protecting aid materials to China.

Of course, its specifications were inevitably lowered, and the station chief was downgraded from lieutenant colonel to major.

After Zhang Anping entered the military station, the intelligence station chief Su Mosheng and deputy station chief Shen Yuan were already waiting inside the military station.

After seeing Zhang Anping, the two were excited, but due to Zhang Anping's order they dared not say anything. They could only lead Zhang Anping from a distance and brought Zhang Anping and his party into the station headquarters with a sign of "Supervision Office" hanging on it.

After entering, Su Mosheng and Shen Yuan stepped forward with excitement:

"teacher."

Both of them are students from Guanwang Temple, but compared with the people taken away by Zhang Anping in the first wave, they are a little "stupid". The stationmaster Su Mosheng and the deputy stationmaster Shen Yuan are now only majors.

As for the first group of people Zhang Anping brought out from Guanwang Temple, except for one person who was eliminated, the lowest rank of the others was lieutenant colonel.

There are as many as three colonels!
"Not bad, he looks much more capable than before - where's Mingyuan?"

The Mingyuan mentioned by Zhang Anping is He Mingyuan, the director of the Intelligence Department. He is one of the three giants of the Yunnan-Burma Highway Station, the chief and deputy chief, plus the director of the Intelligence Department. Su Mosheng is a legitimate member of the Military Control Commission, He Mingyuan is Yu Zecheng's backup, and the deputy chief Shen Yuan joined the organization a year ago.

This is probably a characteristic of Zhang Anping's subordinates. Most intelligence stations meet the conditions for establishing a party group.

As for the party branch, there is no doubt that it is naturally here with Zhang Anping.

Su Mosheng replied: "Mingyuan found clues about the Japanese spies and has been busy tracking them down these days."

Zhang Anping said, "Then let's not wait for him - call the others and start a meeting!"

Shen Yuan suggested cautiously: "Teacher, you just got off the plane, how about taking a day off first?"

Zhang Anping looked at Shen Yuan coldly, and Su Mosheng quickly pulled Shen Yuan:
"Teacher, I'll go call someone right away."

Zhang Anping retracted his cold gaze and turned to Lin Nansheng and Zheng Yi who had followed him and said:

"You two will also attend the meeting."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, we were in the small conference room.

Except for He Mingyuan, the other five people at the Burma Road Intelligence Station were all present, plus Zhang Anping, Lin Nansheng and Zheng Yi, a total of eight people participated in this secret meeting.

Zhang Anping always gets straight to the point in meetings. After everyone arrived, he asked directly:
"Have you received any unusual news?"

Su Mosheng asked: "Teacher, you are talking about the military aid to the Eighth Route Army, right?"

"explain."

"Since the day before yesterday, the Americans have redistributed supplies. Based on the intelligence we have collected, we can confirm that the Americans have prepared no less than 20,000 light weapons and matching ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, in addition to as many as 20 radio stations and other supplies."

"Is there any other relevant information?"

Su Mosheng and the other four shook their heads.

"The purpose of my trip..." Zhang Anping glanced around and said in a serious tone: "It is to destroy the military aid to the Eighth Route Army this time!"

"No matter what, we must not let the American supplies fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"

Su Mosheng and the others looked solemn.

In fact, since they received news in the morning that Zhang Anping was arriving in Kunming, they guessed that Zhang Anping's purpose was related to sabotaging military aid.

Seeing Zhang Anping's purpose, Deputy Station Chief Shen Yuan frowned and said:

"Teacher, I think the key to this matter lies in Chongqing. We can only be embarrassed for a while, but if the Americans are determined to do so, it will be useless even if we are embarrassed."

That was what happened last time - well, from an eyewitness's perspective, Zhang Anping racked his brains to sabotage military aid to the New Fourth Army last time.

But what can we do in the end?

As the incident was exposed, not only did Zhang Anping end up taking the blame, but the Americans' will was ultimately implemented.

Zhang Anping's eyes turned cold, staring blankly at Shen Yuan who was speaking. Shen Yuan felt cold all over and had to lower his head.

Zhang Anping then said:

"Working for the Party and the country, working for the leader, I don't want you to be petty - we are soldiers, since we have received military orders, what we should consider is to go through fire and water without hesitation, rather than worrying about personal gains and losses!"

The seven people said together: "Students (subordinates) are learning."

Only Lin Nansheng muttered in his heart: You can’t judge a person by his appearance!

He quietly looked around at the five people opposite him, wondering how many of them were comrades...

Zhang Anping tapped the table with his fingers and arranged: "Next, the focus of your work is to keep a close eye on the actions of the Americans. I don't want the Americans to reach any agreement with the Communist Party. I will be the last to know!"

"Yes!"

...The Chief of Staff was well aware of the Chief Aide-de-Camp's bottom line. Even with local authorization, he did not want to break up with the Chief Aide-de-Camp directly - although he wanted to be with Spieth very much, he knew that aiding the Communist Party was the Chief Aide-de-Camp's bottom line, and it was better not to cross this bottom line.

So in the next few days, he used various means to force the chief attendant to submit.

But when it comes to playing tricks, the chief of staff is dozens of streets behind the chief aide-de-camp. Faced with the chief of staff's provocative tactics, the chief aide-de-camp immediately realized that the other party did not dare to offend him completely. Seeing this, he became more determined to hold his bottom line.

The chief of staff tried several times but failed to get the chief aide-de-camp to give in, which really annoyed the chief of staff.

Aid to the Communist Party is the bargaining chip in the hands of the Chief of Staff, and he will not put all the chips in easily - if the chips are all in, he can definitely force the Chief Aide-de-Camp to submit, but the Chief Aide-de-Camp, who has already asked the United States to change generals twice, will definitely ask for a change of generals again.

The chief of staff was not sure whether the mainland would continue to hold on for his sake, so he would not go all in unless it was absolutely necessary.

But just because he won't go all in doesn't mean he can't continue to force it.

[You really think I don't dare, right? ]

The annoyed chief of staff decided to teach the chief aide a lesson.

So he began to negotiate with the Chinese Communist Party representatives in person. At the same time, he also issued an order to the US troops in Kunming.

……

Burma Road Information Station Headquarters.

Su Mosheng brought back a piece of information with a serious look on his face:
"Teacher, there are unusual movements over there by the Americans!"

"explain."

"The U.S. military asked the logistics department to build a small warehouse near Zhuantang Wharf. According to information leaked by the Americans themselves, this small warehouse is to store aid materials for the Communist Party!"

Zhang Anping said solemnly, "Zhuantang Wharf? Is that the same Zhuantang Wharf where the New Fourth Army transported supplies last time?"

"Correct."

"I know, keep an eye on the US military's movements!"

After Su Mosheng left, the solemnity on Zhang Anping's face disappeared, and instead he showed a playful look.

He misjudged the situation - he thought that after Zok produced this report and obtained the approval of the United States, the Chief of Staff would be eager to implement it immediately in order to force the Kuomintang diehards to submit.

But the fact is:
Five days had passed before the Chief of Staff met with the CCP’s representatives in Chongqing for the first time to discuss military aid.

As the saying goes, it’s better to cut the Gordian knot than to use a sharp knife. If the Chief of Staff had the will, he would never have delayed like this.

It is even more impossible for the US military to spread the word that the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf is used to store aid materials for the Communist Party.

The deliberate taste is too strong!
So, this proves one thing:

The other party was more powerful than he had imagined. He knew that this was the chief aide-de-camp's bottom line, so he was unwilling to break off relations directly. Instead, he used aid to the Communist Party to force the chief aide-de-camp to submit.

in other words:

Zhang Anping worked hard to build a stage and invited a troupe to perform the opera, but the troupe only wanted to perform the opera for the people below and not for the "gods" above!

Are you kidding? What was Zhang Anping working so hard to plan, even risking his own wife to get involved?
Kill many birds with one stone!

The benefits must be "grabbed".

"Since you want to use the stage I built for lip syncing, don't blame me..."

A sneer appeared on Zhang Anping's lips.

So, the station headquarters held another meeting.

Unlike before, this time all six core members of the station headquarters were present, including He Mingyuan who was absent from the last meeting.

"Mingyuan, don't close the net yet."

He Mingyuan was stunned.

He has been busy with counter-espionage these days - he has found a Japanese spy intelligence group, and has discovered four members in the past few days. He thinks the Japanese spies may have realized something, and is preparing to cooperate with Zhou Yuanfan from the Operations Department to catch this Japanese spy intelligence group in one fell swoop.

But since Zhang Anping had given the order, he naturally did not dare to disobey and could only say, "Yes."

"Merson."

"The students are here."

"Who is guarding the small warehouse at Zhuan Tang Wharf?"

Sumerson was puzzled, but still replied:
"It's a company affiliated with the new 88th Division."

Although the Americans controlled the distribution of lend-lease materials, the Chinese military was always responsible for guarding them.

Su Mosheng's answer made Zhang Anping stunned: "Are you sure it's the New 88th Division?"

"determine."

Zhang Anping laughed: "I was planning to have your people secretly replace the guards, but since it's the new 88th Division, that's not necessary."

The New 88th Division had its roots in the Shanghai Uprising Army. To put it bluntly, as long as Zhang Anping showed up at the New 88th Division, his words would be more effective than those of the division commander - the key point was that the division commander of the New 88th Division was also Zhang Anping's man!
He knocked on the table and said:

"He Mingyuan, I have a task for you!"

He Mingyuan pretended to listen.

"Find a way to pass on the information about the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf to the Japanese spy - is that ok?"

Zhang Anping looked at He Mingyuan with burning eyes.

He Mingyuan said without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Zhou Yuanfan."

"The students are here."

"Since the Japanese spies know about the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf, they will definitely take action. However, the Japanese spies in Kunming have been raided several times and are probably powerless to take action. According to my guess, they will most likely find a way to deceive the desperate criminals to sabotage it! Let your people disguise themselves as desperate criminals who value money over their lives, find a way to contact the Japanese spies, and take over this job from them - is that okay?"

Zhang Anping's words are more straightforward:

We took on the job from the Japanese and bombed the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf - which contained supplies to aid the Communists.

Others might question it, but Zhou Yuanfan, who is Zhang Anping's student and knows his character, said without hesitation:
"Yes."

"Sumerson."

"The students are here."

"Within five days, we will secretly prepare enough scraps of American equipment. Is that ok?"

Sumerson said: "Yes."

With this arrangement, everyone immediately understood Zhang Anping's intention - to use someone else as a substitute and then blow up the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf to create the illusion that Japanese spies had destroyed the aid materials to the Communist Party.

Zhang Anping turned to look at the others:

"Your next task is to secretly prepare manpower. Once needed, I want you to secretly empty the small warehouse at Zhuantang Wharf within two hours and replace it with the scrap parts prepared by Sumerson. Is that ok?"

The others answered in unison: "No problem!"

"Go down and get ready."

As Zhang Anping finished speaking, everyone left the stage and began their preparations.

then……

Two hours later, Lin Nansheng got a secret intelligence and handed it to Zhang Anping. When he got the intelligence, the comrade told him:
"Comrade, the spies intend to blow up the military aid to us. Intelligence... You must ensure that this intelligence is delivered safely!"

God knows how Lin Nansheng held back his smile and looked so solemn at that time.

(I slept from 8pm to 7am yesterday... I successfully skipped work, but today I made up for it with gritted teeth. Thumbs up.) (End of this chapter)
