Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Dai Chunfeng now has real money.

He is very secretive about the exact number, but that doesn't mean the Taotie can't estimate it.

The Taotie estimated a number:
At least eight or nine million taels of gold!
Of course, considering that most of the antiques have to be handed over to the government, this number still needs to be discounted, but even so, the Taotie people have come up with a number:
At least three million taels... of gold!
Of course, it was impossible for them to openly take the ill-gotten gains for themselves, because Dai Chunfeng had already planned where the money would go, and this destination was highly praised by the chief aide-de-camp.

But the Taotie knew the huge profits in the second-hand business. If handled properly, it would be easy to embezzle 60% of the 3 million taels of gold - and this 60% was a number that was enough to drive people crazy.

So, on this day of universal celebration last night, the representatives of the Taotie came to Dai Chunfeng and said bluntly:
Everyone makes money. You, Dai Chunfeng, can’t eat so much by yourself!
Eating alone will... choke you to death!
Dai Chunfeng certainly knew that eating alone could lead to choking.

But he put forward a condition:
Everyone makes money, no problem;

But I need your help - I want to be the commander of the navy.

Dai Chunfeng had been planning for this position for a long time. Currently, the Loyalty Rescue Army, the Special Forces, and various guerrilla forces under the Military Control Commission have a total of more than 100,000 troops - he even won the support of the Americans, who promised to replace these armed forces with American equipment within the next year.

These are the result of Dai Chunfeng's hard work. Once equipped with American weapons, they will definitely be an elite and powerful ace force.

Dai Chunfeng, who had experienced the warlords' infighting and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, knew the importance of military power. Only with soldiers could he stand tall, so he would never ignore the disbanding of this armed force or its incorporation by others.

Only by becoming the commander of the navy can one preserve these armed forces reasonably and legally.

Therefore, Dai Chunfeng put forward this request:

I will help you get rich, and you will help me become the commander of the navy!
But then something outrageous happened.

The Taotie representative disagreed!

They only thought about getting benefits and didn't think about giving anything at all - they were the top four in the National Government and people had always been fawning over them. How could they accept such a deal?

To put it bluntly, the Taotie come from four surnames, but they cannot influence the true will of the four powerful families. When it comes to a position like the Navy Commander, they know that it will not be easy for Dai Chunfeng to achieve his goal, so how could they roll up their sleeves and take action?

He wants to get benefits but doesn't want to put in any effort.

This annoyed Dai Chunfeng, so he angrily called Zhang Anping to discuss countermeasures.

……

As Zhang Anping listened to Dai Chunfeng's story, the anger on his face grew stronger and stronger.

But in fact he was extremely calm.

Because he had anticipated this scene a long time ago.

In the original time and space, Dai Chunfeng tried his best, but even with the support of the Americans, he failed to ascend to the position of naval commander as he wished. The difficulty of this can be imagined.

(The Americans almost passed a bill to support Dai as the Navy Commander, but the bill was rejected by Congress - just ask if it's fantasy!)
He deduced this possibility after he decided to use immigration to dig a hole to catch all the traitors and devils who wanted to escape.

There is no need to anticipate the enemy's moves, you just need to understand the greedy nature of the Taotie. You can imagine this scene with your eyes closed.

He already had a solution for this.

After Dai Chunfeng finished talking about his conversation with the Taotie representative, Zhang Anping said angrily:

"Too deceiving!"

"They died long ago! These bastards are still dreaming of becoming royalty!"

Dai Chunfeng asked Zhang Anping with a gloomy face:

"Anping, what do you think I should do now? Should I break up with them?"

Dai Chunfeng was also in a dilemma. Although the four families did not represent the top will and were not capable of accomplishing anything, they were definitely capable of causing trouble.

If the members of these four families were to cause trouble when he was seeking the key position of naval commander, it would be more trouble than it would take.

However, he felt very painful when he cut off a piece of flesh.

"We can't open this loophole," Zhang Anping said in a serious tone, "They can easily push their advantage. Once this loophole is opened, the trouble will be even greater."

The Military Intelligence Bureau would then cooperate with the Nationalist government in a purge of traitors, and according to the Chief Aide-de-Camp's "subsidy" to the Military Intelligence Bureau, the money would be shared between the Nationalist government and the Military Intelligence Bureau - because the Military Intelligence Bureau would be responsible for introducing military industry from the United States. The Nationalist government, which was in ruins after the war, obviously could not afford the money, but the Military Intelligence Bureau's blueprint for introducing American military industry was very attractive to the Chief Aide-de-Camp.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to give the Military Control Commission certain conveniences.

Of course, this is not without requirements:

The Chief of Staff wanted to see the American-style military industry being perfected under the rule of the National Government. This was his requirement, otherwise he would not have given the Military Control Commission such great privileges.

On the whole, the Chief Aide-de-Camp is a typical example of getting something for nothing. He paid almost nothing. Whether it was the liquidation of traitors' property or the "immigration pit" led by the Military Control Commission, they were all unexpected gains. If the Military Control Commission could achieve the blueprint submitted, it would be zero cost for the Chief Aide-de-Camp!

But the effect is remarkable.

But the pressure shifted to the Military Control Commission.

Dai Chunfeng did not have a complete account in his mind about how much it would cost to take over second-hand military goods from the United States and improve the Nationalist government's American-style military industrial system.

He even realized that he had been tricked by his treacherous nephew from the very beginning - his nephew had induced him step by step to take this step, turning what was clearly a money-making business into a stressful and hard job.

As for why his nephew did this, Dai Chunfeng could actually understand it because he believed that his nephew was dedicated to the public good.

Again, if it were someone else, Dai Chunfeng would have wanted to skin the other person alive when he realized that he was being plotted against. However, Zhang Anping spent nine years proving his impartiality, so Dai Chunfeng could only swallow the bitter fruit.

But there are benefits to doing so. Once the transplantation of the American-style military industry into the Nationalist government is truly completed, Dai Chunfeng will be a hero of the party and the country - and this is precisely Dai Chunfeng's "retreat". With this achievement, even if he fails in his current bid for the position of naval commander, he can still jump out of the framework of the Military Control Commission because of this credit.

Although he might not be able to obtain the position of naval commander by then, he could still take the opportunity to become a big boss.

This is Dai Chunfeng's confidence and retreat, and it is a plan that must not be destroyed.

That is why Zhang Anping said:
Once the other party becomes too aggressive, the trouble will be even greater.

Because of the nature of the gluttons, once they get a piece of the pie, they will follow this torn hole and continue to expand their own interests. The final result is to ruin the grand plan of moving the military industry forward.

Dai Chunfeng repeated the question: "So what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and said, "I have heard a saying: If you seek peace through peace, there will be no peace; if you seek peace through war, there will be peace."

"Commander, when dealing with these things, the more you give in, the more you lose."

"how do you want to do it?"

Zhang Anping squeezed out five words from between his teeth:
“US Aid Corruption Case!”

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping, his eyes motionless.

Zhang Anping responded to Dai Chunfeng's gaze without any fear.

After a long time, Dai Chunfeng said softly: "I need to think about it, you go down first."

Zhang Anping hummed lightly, then turned and left.

As the door closed and the footsteps faded away, a look of "as expected" appeared on Dai Chunfeng's face.

When Zhang Anping seized four corrupt American aid companies in Kunming, he did not take the opportunity to escalate the incident. Instead, he kicked out the Central Bureau of Investigation and took its place. Dai Chunfeng thought that his nephew had learned to compromise.

Learned to bow to reality.

After that, his nephew used "immigration" to liquidate a large number of traitors and Japanese, and used this huge fortune to "kidnap" him one after another, Dai Chunfeng suddenly realized one thing:

The nephew is still the same nephew. He has not learned to bow to reality and has not learned to compromise with darkness. Then, the corruption case in Kunming is worth pondering - is the nephew really willing to go along with the four families and become a part of them?
Absolutely not!

Now, the nephew's true colors have finally been revealed.

"You...are playing with fire!"

Dai Chunfeng felt chilly all over.

Since he kicked the CCP out and replaced it, how exaggerated would the nephew's infiltration of the US aid corruption network be?

To put it bluntly, with the power wielded by the nephew, every participant and every "client" involved in this corruption network will definitely not escape his investigation.

Who could those customers be?
Warlords, bandits, security forces and...the Chinese Communist Party’s armed forces from all over the country!
The first three are not a big problem, but what about the latter?

If the nephew lifts the lid of this darkness, he will surely face the chief attendant's wrath - with the chief attendant's temperament, he will not pursue the people who are involved in this web, but in his anger, he will definitely smash this big web!

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. This time, it must be a mortal feud!
"You are a little too courageous!"

Dai Chunfeng felt sad, but there was a villain in his heart saying to him:
What are you afraid of? This matter is not yours. Even if it attracts hatred, it is my nephew who is at the forefront! Even if those four families are eager to choose someone to devour, their eyes will be on my nephew!

Dai Chunfeng slowly closed his eyes and recalled the conversation he had with his nephew after he returned to Chongqing following the US aid corruption case in Kunming.

After a long silence, Dai Chunfeng clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said to himself:
"I have no choice!"

Yes, now he has no choice. His nephew has kidnapped him with the blueprint of [Forward Movement of American Military Industry]. If the four great Taotie get involved, then this plan will definitely be ruined by these greedy Taotie.

If they get involved, what could be accomplished with 10 taels of gold would now require fifty taels or even more on paper!
Dai Chunfeng seems to have abundant funds, but it is still unknown whether this amount of money is enough to package up the United States' excess military production capacity - and this is only the case when it comes to light weapons, bullet production lines and upstream and downstream enterprises.

This amount of money really can't withstand the gluttons' tossing.

Therefore, I can only let my nephew take the lead and confront them!

"You... must have put a lot of thought into this game!"

Dai Chunfeng sighed quietly. He had always known that his nephew's strategies were always one thing after another, but when this strategy was used on him, he still felt a chill running through his bones.

A question involuntarily arose in his mind:
With a nephew like this, if Dai Chunfeng leaves the Military Control Commission system, can the Military Control Commission still be his sphere of influence?
Thinking about this question, Dai Chunfeng fell silent for a while.

……

In the office, Zhang Anping sighed softly.

With so many holes in Old Dai's mind, I'm afraid that his little plan must be seen through clearly!
In fact, he didn't want this to happen. He wanted to live a peaceful and stable life for the remaining six months.

But he had to do it.

Firstly, once the Taotie get involved, his military-industrial takeover plan will inevitably run into big problems - this is a big gift he prepared for the organization, a big gift package for the Americans five years later, and there must be no problems.

The second reason is that his prestige in the Military Control Commission is too high. If he cannot provoke more powerful enemies, if something happens to Dai Chunfeng in the future, the position of the person in charge of the Military Control Commission will undoubtedly fall on him.

If a united Military Control Commission did nothing during the civil war, even a fool would see the problem.

He must provoke more powerful enemies to ensure that after Dai Chunfeng gets into trouble, countless people will jump out to suppress him. It would be best if the whole world is his enemy, so that he will miss out on this position.

And the third one is equally important - Zhang Anping doesn't want the people's wealth to be taken away by greedy Taotie and eventually flow out of China.

He had no choice but to set up this trap, forcing Dai Chunfeng to have no choice but to become a revivalist of the "Military Industry of the Republic of China".

But the disadvantages are obvious. Dai Chunfeng is forced into a corner time and time again. If this continues, it will probably cause Dai Chunfeng to develop a rebellious mentality.

"Only half a year left..."

He sighed softly. To be on the safe side, he'd better keep a low profile in the last six months.

Jingle Bell.

The phone rang.

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and answered the phone.

Dai Chunfeng's voice came from the phone:

“You’ll be under a lot of pressure if you do that.”

"I know."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone: "I won't participate."

Zhang Anping said softly: "This is the path I chose myself."

This time, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "Go ahead."

"Okay..." Zhang Anping responded calmly, but before hanging up the phone, he said softly:
"Uncle, I'm sorry."

There were only three words in response to him:
"Bastard!"

Dai Chunfeng hung up the phone and a smile appeared on his face.

This stubborn boy!

It’s really good to be young!

After all, this is his nephew. No matter how he plans, he will always consider Dai Chunfeng's interests first.

At this time, Zhang Anping, after hanging up the phone, whispered again:

I am sorry.

But, no one can hear this sorry.

……

1945 8 Month 16 Day.

At a time when the whole country was still immersed in carnival, Zhang Anping drove to the Huangshan official residence alone, carrying a file weighing more than 80 kilograms and a seven-page investigation report.

He met the chief aide-de-camp, and respectfully handed the investigation report in his hand to the chief aide-de-camp as the chief aide-de-camp said with a smile, "My little Tiger Guard is here."

The chief aide flipped through the investigation report, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. First he became solemn, then annoyed, then angry, and finally... dark and furious.

Zhang Anping reported respectfully:

"This corruption network has been parasitic on the Burma Road since it was opened. After the Burma Road was closed and the Hump Route was opened, this network has become even larger."

"Since the beginning of this year, with the continuous increase in US aid, their greed has become even more unbridled. According to estimates, at least 30% of US aid materials were embezzled and sold by them, and the sale of vehicles accounted for more than 60% of them."

"A small portion of these materials fell into the hands of the Japanese, and some fell into the hands of bandits and warlords, but a considerable portion fell into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party's armed forces."

The furious chief attendant slammed the report on the table and cursed:

"Niang Xipi!"

The sound was like a thunderclap after a dark cloud. (End of this chapter)
