Chapter 742: The Beginning of Commander Zhang’s Fall
Faced with his father's anger, all Zhang Anping could do was to obey orders.

He couldn't pat his chest and say to his father:

Dad, I am still the Zhang Anping who is loyal to the Party.

So he could only say bitterly:
"Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Zhang Guanfu stared at his son who did not refute and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to scold him. After all, his son was a smart man and saying too much would be counterproductive.

Then he sighed slightly:

"I really want you to get out of this quagmire, but you are not alone. There are many people behind you who are following you and are willing to risk their lives. I know it is difficult to get you out of this quagmire.

But in this life, people must eventually face their own conscience and their own heart. "

"Tonight, you just kneel here and think carefully."

After saying that, Zhang Guanfu stood up and left the study, and when he went out, he locked the study door.

He came to the living room, sat down and slowly closed his eyes, replaying the scenes of the past period of time in his mind over and over again.

In fact, Zhang Guanfu had two guesses in his mind at this time.

The first is everything he revealed when facing Zhang Anping just now.

In the field of power, the son eventually lost his original intention.

However, the image of his son in disarray in the military dog ​​base kept appearing in his mind.

He knew very well that his son was not a kind-hearted person.

In the spy business, the consequence of being lenient is death without a burial place.

He was very clear about this, and Zhang Anping had spent nearly ten years demonstrating his ruthless methods.

However, a scene at the military dog ​​base overturned the impression Zhang Guanfu had formed of his son over the years - his son was still the kind-hearted son at heart.

However, this is an extremely cruel era.

Due to the drought in Henan, millions of people became refugees.

The scenes of cannibalism and starvation that only appear in history books are happening again on this ancient and miserable land.

Extremely cruel!

Logically speaking, Zhang Anping, who is used to such cruelty, should not be so fragile.

It is true that those bastards at the military dog ​​base deserved to die, but that should not be a reason for Zhang Anping to lose his composure.

Either it's fake, or it's real.

But if it were true, would such a son become like this in just a few months?

Dai Chunfeng's perspective is different from his. From today's conversation with Dai Chunfeng, he confirmed that his famous and deep-minded relative has a completely opposite view from him.

Considering the final result of his son's layout in Kunming, the second possibility came to his mind:

Everything my son does is for the current result!
It is natural for Dai Chunfeng to come to the current conclusion.

So, what is the purpose?
Just to let Dai Chunfeng see that Zhang Anping was finally trained by Dai Chunfeng into the shape he expected?
still is……

Zhang Guanfu looked at the speculations in his mind, crushed them again and again with his thoughts, and then swept the fragments of consciousness into the deepest part of his memory.

Don’t think about it anymore!

"No matter what you choose, you...are my son!"

After Zhang Guanfu opened his eyes, he let out a soft sigh.

……

In the Zhang family, Wang Chunlian always made the decisions on small matters. Even Zhang Guanfu would be submissive in the face of Wang Chunlian's "domineering" behavior. But when it came to big matters, Wang Chunlian always listened to her husband obediently.

Just like now, her beloved son was punished by her husband to kneel in the study room. Wang Chunlian did not even think of using her authority to "release" her son. She even taught the two increasingly naughty little guys a lesson:

If you two don't behave, I will punish you by making you kneel in the study next time.

The two little guys were terrified. On the one hand, they felt sorry for their dad being punished to kneel, and on the other hand, they imagined what would happen to them if they were punished to kneel. So at dinner time they re-enacted what it meant to be not picky about food.

Then, the two little guys kept trying to curry favor with their grandfather, making Zhang Guanfu smile from ear to ear. Then, the two little guys got into Zhang Guanfu's arms with a "cunning" look on their faces:
"Grandpa, look at us, our bellies are all rounder from eating, but Dad hasn't eaten yet, so his belly must have deflated."

"Grandpa, now that you've calmed down, can you let Dad come out for dinner?"

Faced with the two little guys begging for mercy, Zhang Guanfu's bottom line dropped rapidly, and he almost agreed. However, he held back at the critical moment, forced himself to put on a stern face, glared at the two little guys, and left angrily. Then he went into a room and watched through the window. After seeing that the two little guys were so aggrieved that they were about to cry, he almost couldn't hold back and ran out to hug his two precious kids.

The two little guys felt sorry for their father. Wang Chunlian actually felt more sorry for her son. She quietly called Zeng Moyi over:

"I'm going to take your dad out for a walk. Go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Wang to heat up Anping's portion and send it over quietly later."

Zeng Moyi held back her laughter and responded, thinking to herself, how could Dad not see through your little tricks?
Zhang Guanfu certainly understood what was going on, but he still let his wife "take it for a walk" obediently, and took the two little ones with her, under the pretext of enjoying family happiness. However, Wang Chunlian thought that it was her bastard cousin who caused trouble, so when she was "taking" her husband for a walk, she stopped by Dai Mansion and had a quarrel with Dai Chunfeng without thinking twice.

After Wang Chunlian went to accompany his mother, Dai Chunfeng angrily accused Zhang Guanfu:
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please don't blame me, okay?"

Zhang Guanfu smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of that bastard Anping that I'm worried about. I can't let you clean up the mess every time!"

"It would be good to teach him a lesson."

Dai Chunfeng was speechless and thought to himself, why do I feel like you are praising your son?
Even so, I still felt very happy and thought:
I wish Anping could be as worry-free to me as his father is.

Zhang family.

Zeng Moyi brought dinner to Zhang Anping through the window. Watching her husband wolfing it down, she smiled and said,

"Eat slowly. Mom and I's little tricks can't escape Dad's sharp eyes."

This sentence made Zhang Anping stunned. He thought for a moment and said:
"Yeah, probably it can't escape the old man's sharp eyes."

He thought that maybe his father did this just to reassure himself?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. However, Zhang Anping did not waste his brain cells on this matter. Since his father chose this method, why should he get involved?
……

Sister Qian came to Chongqing again.

After arriving in Chongqing, she did not establish any horizontal contact with the organization, but directly contacted Zeng Moyi using a secret code and agreed on a meeting place.

However, the person who saw her was not Zeng Moyi, but a beautiful woman, the kind of charming woman who you could tell was the concubine of some important person as soon as you saw her on the street.

The only pity is that such a charming woman spoke in a standard male voice:

"Sister Qian, it's me."

Sister Qian couldn't bear to look at it. Well, she found that Zhang Anping became more and more seductive after putting on women's clothes.

"you……"

Zhang Anping smiled apologetically: "Go back and wash your eyes with water and you'll be fine."

Sister Qian was speechless. She even asked me to wash my eyes!
"Let's get down to business - what kind of plane have you been working on these days?"

For a period of time before, Lin Nansheng was responsible for the connection between Zhang Anping and the organization. After Zhang Anping made the arrangements, the most common thing he asked for was various kinds of cooperation.

Sister Qian didn't think much about it at first, but when the flowers in Kunming, Chengdu and Chongqing bloomed, she became confused - the public opinion offensive against Zhang Shihao in Kunming was initiated by the underground party, but this was not the case in Chengdu and Chongqing.

The sudden outburst of public opinion calling for killing made Sister Qian particularly worried about Zhang Anping's situation.

As a result, within a few days, the situation was reversed.

The ambush at Zhuantang Wharf began, and more than a dozen Japanese planes were destroyed - this was a good thing in Sister Qian's eyes. She thought Zhang Anping could break free from the vortex of public opinion, but she didn't expect the news that followed to make her stunned.

There was internal turmoil in the Military Control Commission, and Zhang Shihao's pawn was investigated for collusion with the Communists. Zhang Shihao was nearly assassinated. Then there was a major power purge in the Military Control Commission, and Mao Renfeng was transferred to the Second Department of the Military Affairs Department.

Out of concern for Zhang Anping, Sister Qian rushed to Chongqing without stopping, wanting to find out what had happened.

Zhang Anping then started talking about what had happened during this period - the "refined version" incident.

"Actually, I just want to gain some benefits for us."

He did not hide the fact that he was supporting the Communists. In addition to saying that he wanted to gain some benefits for the Eighth Route Army, he also wanted to use this opportunity to change the Kuomintang's current passive resistance policy.

Most of the subsequent arrangements were based on this, such as the air ambush at Zhuantang Wharf, the plot against Zhou Yu, the plot against Mao Renfeng, etc. Zhang Anping did not hide any of them, but he concealed the arrangements for his own people at the Yunnan-Burma Highway Station and the fact that he deliberately left room for Mao Renfeng.

He could actually have stepped on Mao Renfeng to death.

But he couldn't do that, because Mao Renfeng would definitely be his political opponent in the future, so he could only let Mao Renfeng go to the Second Hall - or would he have to fight three people alone in the future?
He also said that after his actions, he should now be officially listed by Dai Chunfeng as the successor and be trained.

Although Zhang Anping concealed a lot of content, Sister Qian was still very excited after listening to it.

Who would have thought that Zhang Shihao, who was wanted in public opinion, was actually the mastermind behind the support for the Communist Party?

Who could have thought that Dai Chunfeng's preferred successor, Zhang Shihao, the famous figure in the Military Control Commission, was actually one of his own!

Thinking about the assistance that the Americans gave to the New Fourth Army, Sister Qian said with emotion:

"If I tell you this, no one will believe it. You were the one behind the Americans' aid to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army!"

Given the nature of the Kuomintang, the American aid materials to China would never fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army - this is indeed the case. In the original time and space, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army had no share of these materials.

But Zhang Anping was secretly pushing all this forward.

Although the total amount of supplies provided to the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was less than that of an army, it was extremely important for our army, whose equipment mainly relied on captured weapons.

Although accepting these supplies meant that the logistics would be controlled by the Americans, it was still far from the same as relying entirely on captured supplies.

"Don't praise me anymore - Sister Qian, you took too much risk coming to Chongqing this time!"

Zhang Anping became serious at the end.

After Zhang Anping's several character creations, Sister Qian now has an attribute that is recognized by the Military Control Commission:
Zhang Shihao's nemesis.

The more distant case of the Yan'an spy ring being uncovered was the work of Sister Qian;
Huo Cunzhi's scheme against Zeng Moyi was also due to Sister Qian's efforts - after several successive incidents, Sister Qian had become Zhang Shihao's nemesis.

That's why Zhang Anping said it was too risky for Sister Qian to come to Chongqing.

"I'll be careful next time." Sister Qian didn't say anything like "I'm worried about you." She promised and then seriously told Zhang Anping:
"From now on, your identity will be different, and you will still be working under Dai Chunfeng's nose. Once your identity is facing the threat of exposure, do not hesitate or be reluctant. You must act decisively and evacuate immediately. You are more valuable if you retreat to the base alive than if you sacrifice yourself. Do you understand what I mean?" This is an old tune, but Sister Qian has to be so long-winded every time because she is sure that Zhang Anping is exactly the same as her comrades. For the benefit of the party, they can do whatever it takes at a critical moment.

Zhang Anping smiled brilliantly and said:

"Sister Qian, I understand what you mean, don't worry!"

……

With Zhang Anping's deliberate care, Sister Qian naturally left Chongqing safely.

During this period, a lot of things happened in the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.

The first thing was the disappearance of a mid-level cadre of the Military Control Commission - the other party was one of Wang Tianfeng's confidants, whose position was only slightly lower than Guo Qiyu, and he was also the spy who led the team to eliminate Lu Xiangyang.

Dai Chunfeng ordered the arrest of this man after Zhang Anping returned to Chongqing, but he disappeared mysteriously. The Military Control Commission secretly searched for him for more than ten days and finally concluded the case as missing, which put an end to the incident.

But compared to the second thing, the first thing is not worth mentioning.

The second thing was a telegram from Kunming Station, a terribly long telegram.

The main content of this telegram is Zhou Yu's confession.

In Zhou Yu's confession, he readily admitted that there was a huge "smuggling group" in Kunming, and that this smuggling group smuggled nothing but various American aid materials.

After these supplies are taken from the Americans, a portion of them will be directly taken away by the smuggling group, and the remaining portion will be transported to various places by the smuggling group for "sale."

Zhou Yu's original words were:

"These smuggled arms either fell into the hands of the Japanese or the Communists. Of course, some were also swallowed up by civilian armed forces or local troops."

The local army does not refer to the security brigades or security regiments in various places, but to the warlord troops. The distribution of American aid materials was very important to the Yunnan Army, even if it was right in front of them, it would rarely get a share, not to mention other local troops. Even the distribution of American aid was related to the chief aide-de-camp's division and disintegration of the warlord forces.

If it fell into the hands of the Japanese, it would be better for the Military Intelligence Bureau, but if it fell into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party’s armed forces, it would be fatal to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Zhou Yu revealed more than that. He also said:

"In this smuggling network, I am just a small follower, responsible for the periphery. I have never seen the real tigers, but I know the highest level... four surnames."

"Chiang, Song, Chen, Kong."

"The one who eats the most ugliest in public is Kong, but the other three surnames all move their chopsticks quite a bit when eating meat."

He even listed four names - the names of the four surnames who were the spokespersons in this network. Because the interests were too great, these four names were directly named after these four surnames!

The reason why Zhou Yu confessed everything he knew so readily was very simple:
If I don't have a good ending, then you won't have a good ending either.

The "you guys" in his mind refers to Zhang Anping - he knows Zhang Shihao's character very well, so he exposed these contents to make Zhang Anping hit a wall.

But the thoughts of the people at the Yunnan-Burma Station were relatively simple:
This matter is indeed a big deal, but no matter what, they have the obligation and responsibility to report it.

So, trouble came into Dai Chunfeng's hands.

A hot potato was suddenly thrown into his hands, and Dai Chunfeng was really furious.

Doesn’t he know about the smuggling of American aid materials?

impossible!
On the contrary, he actually knows it better than anyone else!
After all, the current Military Intelligence Bureau is becoming increasingly powerful, with countless intelligence personnel rooted throughout China. Once the various armed forces obtain firearms and equipment that are only available in American aid countries, how can they not find them by following the clues?
He even knew that Zhou Yu was deeply involved in the Kunming Station.

But he wisely chose to turn a blind eye.

But unexpectedly, this tacit understanding was broken by the young man from the Yunnan-Burma Station.

If it was an ordinary intelligence station, Dai Chunfeng wouldn't even call back.

But this is the Yunnan-Burma Station, and it is Zhang Anping's direct line - he can't help but wonder if this was instructed by his nephew who causes him so much trouble?
And his nephew was a complete fool. Although he seemed to have become what he wanted now, there was no guarantee that this brat would cause trouble again. So Dai Chunfeng thought about it and finally decided to have a frank talk with Zhang Anping.

……

Dai Mansion.

An ordinary family dinner was unfolding, and Zhang Anping, who had been confined for reflection for nearly ten days, appeared at the dinner.

Dai Shanwu called him his cousin without any hesitation and poured wine for Dai Chunfeng and Zhang Anping diligently, but the hatred that occasionally revealed in him could not escape the eyes of Zhang Anping and Dai Chunfeng - even though the two of them were chatting among themselves.

The old lady was full soon, and then enjoyed listening to the conversation between her son, grandson and nephew. But she was old after all, and soon felt sleepy. Seeing this, Dai Chunfeng asked Dai Shanwu to send the old lady down.

After the two left, Dai Chunfeng sighed and said:
"This kid is a good-for-nothing after all."

Zhang Anping shrugged: "Someone inspired his ambition, and you crushed his hope. It's strange that he feels good about it."

"You can see it clearly..." Dai Chunfeng smiled and changed the subject: "But why do I feel that you are confused about big things but smart about small things?"

Zhang Anping sighed, put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Uncle, can we not talk about Zen? Just say what you want to say."

Dai Chunfeng directly put the telegram in his pocket in front of Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping picked it up and looked at it. He slowly frowned and said to himself, "I knew the water was deep, but I didn't expect it to be this deep!"

Dai Chunfeng asked bluntly: "Is this what you mean?"

"No." Zhang Anping smiled bitterly, "Don't think I'm deaf. No, I noticed this smuggling network when the Burma Road was first put into operation."

"What do you think?"

"What can I think?" Zhang Anping asked back and replied with a wry smile:

"To be able to swallow up such a large share of the hungry army to satisfy his selfish desires, one can only imagine what kind of background he has!"

"When I got into trouble with the Kong family, I almost couldn't hold on. Do you think I dare to pull out the tiger's whiskers?"

Dai Chunfeng showed a look of satisfaction, thinking that Anping had indeed matured.

Zhang Anping then said to himself:
"That's not right. Under normal circumstances, if Zhou Yu dared to say these things, he should have shut up forever. How come he didn't die? And he even said so many things?"

Dai Chunfeng sighed secretly. His nephew's reaction was so quick, and his stupid son actually thought he could take his place?
I really don’t know how Dai Chunfeng could have given birth to such a stupid son!

"Someone came to see me today." Dai Chunfeng said leisurely, "He really wants to know your attitude."

He said it cryptically, but his meaning was very clear - the people on that network knew that Zhou Yu had revealed so much information, but they did it on purpose!
And the purpose is to find out whether you, Zhang Anping, are up to any trouble!

The confidence of the people behind the scenes naturally came from the trouble Zhang Anping had caused in the Military Control Commission before.

Zhang Anping frowned: "Are you forcing me to abdicate?"

Dai Chunfeng asked in return: "Can't we force it?"

Zhang Anping laughed at himself and said, "Yeah, can't I force it?"

"What attitude can I have?" He answered Dai Chunfeng's previous question: "I will just sit and watch."

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping carefully: "Why?"

Zhang Anping did not answer, but took out the wine cup and soup bowl separately and placed them together.

"You..."

Dai Chunfeng actually wanted to teach Zhang Anping to learn how to gain benefits from things, but considering that Zhang Anping had just changed, he gave up the idea of ​​preaching and patted Zhang Anping on the shoulder:

"Then you will handle the next thing?"

Zhang Anping said, "Am I not reflecting on my mistakes behind closed doors?"

Dai Chunfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was he still holding a grudge?
He deliberately kept a straight face: "I told you to handle it yourself."

"Yes, Sir!"

Zhang Anping was "extremely terrified".

……

After coming out of Dai Mansion, the solemnity on Zhang Anping's face slowly dissipated.

Since someone had passed the message to Dai Chunfeng, and Dai Chunfeng asked him to clean up the mess, his purpose was obvious:
The reason why the manipulator in the net did not kill Zhou Yu was that he was waiting for Zhang Anping to hand in his pledge of allegiance!

"Force the emperor to abdicate?"

Zhang Anping whispered and said the same question he had asked Dai Chunfeng before, but this time, he laughed to himself.

Forced into the palace? !
Haha, just a bunch of greedy parasites!

He had anticipated this scene.

The "internal strife" of the Chongqing Military Control Commission gave these people an excuse and reason to deal with him, but doing so would be tantamount to offending Dai Chunfeng, so they held back and used this method to force him - silencing Zhou Yu was a token of his allegiance, and from then on, Zhang Anping could no longer pretend to be the big shot.

[But do you know that this is what I want? ]

Zhang Anping smiled.

He looked into the distance and thought:

[Your faith will soon collapse. ]

The direction he was looking towards was...Kunming.

Zhang Anping's direct lineage believes in Commander Zhang, and in their eyes Commander Zhang is:

Hating evil and not tolerating any grain of sand in the eyes are the party-state’s last conscience and bottom line!
And now, their faith will completely collapse because of their current decision.

……

The next day, a telegram drafted by Zhang Anping himself was sent to the Yunnan-Burma Station.

The content is as follows:

Zhou Yu is a man of heinous crimes, he should be executed on the spot to uphold the laws and military discipline of the country!

This was both a token of his allegiance to certain people and the beginning of his losing faith among his direct lineage.

This was also the beginning of Commander Zhang’s downfall.
