Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

In one's life, one will encounter many shocks.

Xu Tian has experienced many shocks in his life so far.

On April 12, his father was covered in blood. The blood... filled his world to the point of making him dizzy from blood.

When I was studying in Japan, I witnessed the strength and weakness of Japan - a superpower that was superior to China, but its people were always in poverty; it rose to prominence by sucking the blood of China, but its people were always struggling on the poverty line; it had no potential for war, but was extremely arrogant.

On September 18th, the snake in his eyes swallowed up the Northeast.

When the full-scale war of resistance broke out, the arrogant country, which he considered to have little war potential, plunged China into an eight-year total catastrophe.

Each of the above events had a huge impact.

However, he now realizes that the impact of these past events has diminished.

He looked at Zhang Anping with strange eyes, and after saying "Is this the real you?", he fell into an unspeakable silence.

Looking at Xu Tian who was in deep silence, Zhang Anping took a deep breath and slowly began to narrate:

"On April 16, 4, many people died in Shanghai. I didn't understand why they died at that time, but I remembered the name of a party."

"In 20, the September 1931th Incident occurred. I was years old that year. I looked at the map and couldn't understand how a tiny country like Japan annexed Northeast China."

"In 21, when I was 16 years old, I hid it from my parents and used my eloquence to get some money from Dai Chunfeng, and went to the United States."

“I want to learn something and do something for this country.”

"Four years later, I came back from the United States and joined the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was then the Secret Service. I thought I could do something for this country."

"It was at that time that I came into contact with a captured member of the Chinese Communist Party. His name was Yin Liming."

"The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Party Affairs Office was unable to obtain any useful information from him, so they handed him over to us as... teaching 'consumables'."

Zhang Anping recalled the past years and spoke of "facts" that were difficult to distinguish between true and false:
"He was miserable, with not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, but he still firmly believed in his faith."

"I'm curious, what kind of belief can make people so obsessed?"

"At that time, I only had one enemy in my eyes - the Japanese! Because I always believed that Japan, which had achieved its industrialization and rise by sucking the blood of China, would not stop just because it swallowed up Northeast China. The whole of China was their target for swallowing up."

"I am very dissatisfied with the Secret Service and the Party Affairs Department for focusing on the internal affairs. In addition, I am curious about what kind of belief can allow a person to keep secrets after being destroyed to the point of falling apart."

"So, I saved him by faking my own death."

"From him, I learned about the Chinese Communist Party and their beliefs."

"In the end, I chose his faith."

After Zhang Anping finished his story calmly, he stared at Xu Tian:

“So far, I’ve found that I haven’t made the wrong choice.”

"So, along the way, I'm looking for more companions, like your father-in-law and your wife."

Xu Tian seemed to have returned to the unforgettable year of 1927. His father was standing in front of him, covered in blood. He wanted to reach out and grab his father's hand, but all he saw was a glaring red.

After a long while, Xu Tian asked softly: "Why... are you looking for me?!"

Having served as the acting station chief of Shanghai Station many times, he naturally knew how to develop members of the underground party. Given Zhang Anping's level, he should not be developed directly.

"I looked at you for a long, long time."

Zhang Anping said calmly: "I know you will become my comrade, but I... also restrain you, right?"

At this moment, Xu Tian felt inexplicably relieved.

He originally planned to live an ordinary life.

It was Zhang Anping who used every possible means to bring him into the "vortex", but he never blamed Zhang Anping because it was his responsibility as a Chinese.

But it was also Zhang Anping's trust in him that bound him deeply to this rotten ship that he hated so much.

From the end of the eight-year war of resistance against Japan, prices had risen more than 12 times from before the outbreak of the war - but after the Nationalist government resumed its rule over the country, in just four months, prices had risen times from the level four months earlier!
The price of rice per pound has risen from 1,500 yuan to 18,000 yuan!

Now, it is more than 20,000!

Isn’t 12 times less than the increase during the eight-year war of resistance?

But to put it another way:
Compared with the beginning of 1945, the price of goods at the end of December 12 had increased by nearly... 1937 times!
When the Japanese surrendered, the number was more than eight thousand times!
A glimpse of this part reveals the whole body - how cruel and cruel this Nationalist government is!

Xu Tian was completely disappointed with the Nationalist government, but the only thing that bound him was Zhang Anping's kindness to him and his unconditional trust in him.

Even though he knew that his wife and father-in-law were both underground party members, he still entrusted him with important tasks and trusted him immensely.

This made Xu Tian struggle and suffer, but he could only willingly be tied to this broken ship.

But now, the restraints... are gone!
For some reason, Xu Tian still asked a question that was "argumentative": "Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "You and I are the same kind of people."

A slight ripple appeared on Xu Tianru's calm face, and then this ripple turned into a rare smile:

"I accept...your instigation."

He said so.

Zhang Anping laughed: "Welcome to join me, my...comrade!"

Xu Tian's rebellion was exactly as he had imagined, and it happened naturally.

……

Yan'an.

Comrade Li went to Sister Qian with a serious look on his face.

"The leader objects!"

In fact, this was not what Comrade Li expected.

The Nationalist government was sharpening its knives, and civil war was imminent - even though the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still negotiating at this time, a consensus had already been reached within the party.

However, the CCP is still striving for the illusory peace.

"We can't do this," Comrade Li conveyed the leader's decision: "If we do this, once the news leaks out, our party will become a sinner for all eternity!"

Sister Qian nodded solemnly.

She understood what the leader meant - a full-scale civil war was inevitable, but it must not be started by us.

“I’ll call you right back,” she said.

"Well - tell him that his safety is the most important thing."

……

Zhang Anping, who was in Shanghai, naturally could not receive the urgent telegram sent by the organization.

At this moment, he was telling Xu Tian about the next task.

Tattooed!

The guiding ideology of the entire task is the layout idea discussed by Zhang Anping, Ming Lou and Zheng Yaoxian. The specific operations will be completed by Xu Tian himself, but all operations must revolve around this guiding ideology.

Xu Tian had only one idea for this task:
It’s difficult! It’s as difficult as ascending to heaven! It all depends on God!
But he did not complain, but silently wrote down all of Zhang Anping's instructions.

Zhang Anping, my trust in him remains the same as always!
After Zhang Anping finished speaking, Xu Tian said:

"He's going back in the next few days?"

"Ah."

"I want to try it first."

Zhang Anping couldn't help but hesitate.

He had agreed with Zheng Yaoxian and Ming Lou that this matter could not be put into action without the approval of the organization.

Xu Tian saw Zhang Anping's concerns and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Zhang Anping thought about it and said, "Okay!"

"I mean there's a problem?"

"It's not a big problem. This plan has just been reported and is still awaiting approval from the organization."

"Then I'll wait?"

"Just do it first, and consider it as a chance to gain experience."

"Ah."

Xu Tian looked at Zhang Anping deeply, and after a moment of silence, he asked:
"what do you think?"

Now it was Zhang Anping's turn to remain silent.

He understood what Xu Tianwen meant by this question.

What do you think - Ci Dai, what do you think?!
Dai Chunfeng’s trust in Zhang Anping can be said to be... beyond words.

Faced with Zhang Anping's trust, Xu Tian was unable to get off the rotten boat and walk towards the light he longed for. So, how did Zhang Anping make up his mind?
After a long while, Zhang Anping said softly:

"I don't want your blood to be on my hands one day."

Zeng Moyi, Xu Tian, ​​Xu Baichuan, Zheng Yaoxian, Ming Lou, Xu Zhongyi, Lin Nansheng...

One name after another flashed through Zhang Anping's mind.

If Dai Chunfeng were here, these people would be exposed one by one. Even if Zhang Anping had the system, could he really save them all?
In the original time and space, Lao Zheng’s lover was even crushed to ashes after his death!
Even if the fake death drug in Zhang Anping's hand is so powerful, what can he do in this situation?

It's not that he didn't know Dai Chunfeng trusted him, but...

Behind him are a group of fellow travelers who have chosen a rough road for their ideals;
Ahead of him is a bright era that has been proven by facts!
He has no choice!

Xu Tian silently patted Zhang Anping on the shoulder. Perhaps he was the only one who could understand the pain Zhang Anping felt when he made this decision.

Because he could not let go of the bond Zhang Anping had with him, he could not choose to get off this rotten boat.

……

At the gate of Tilanqiao Prison, Luo Hongwen walked out of the iron fence, looked at the blue sky outside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I got out alive!
A car drove up beside them, and as the window rolled down, Du Yuesheng appeared in Luo Hongwen's sight with a smile.

Luo Hongwen couldn't help but choke up: "Master!"

He knew that he was able to get out because his master had been running around outside to help him.

The master was once a very powerful person. In the whole Shanghai, who didn’t bow down when talking to him?

Now, for his sake, the master has to run around everywhere and suffer all kinds of grievances!

Du Yuesheng said angrily: "Silly boy, get in the car! Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Luo Hongwen hurriedly got in the car. After the car started, he said to Du Yuesheng with uneasiness and guilt:
"Master, it's my incompetence that has caused you to bow your head everywhere. I..."

Du Yuesheng patted Luo Hongwen to stop him from continuing and sighed:

"Hongwen, times have finally...changed."

"Master, I, eh..."

A sigh expressed all the sadness.

Luo Hongwen also knew how difficult it would be for Du Yuesheng to rescue him. After all, he was the one who was arrested by Zhang Shihao himself. Even though he had exchanged interests with various dignitaries early on, he didn't make a single fuss when faced with the arrest warrant written by Zhang Shihao himself.

How many powerful people are unwilling to confront Zhang Shihao for their own sake?
And Master...

The master and the disciple were both filled with worries, and felt heavy and uncomfortable as the Studebaker car drove at high speed.

After these words, Du Yuesheng suddenly remembered the fine Zhang Anping mentioned, and asked Luo Hongwen:

"Hongwen, tell me the truth, how much profit have you made since you started cooperating with the Japanese puppets to sell opium?"

Luo Hongwen was a little confused: "I'm afraid I'll have to check it out to find out."

"Is there..." Du Yuesheng said a number.

Luo Hongwen was stunned: "It's almost that much, Master, but you also know that the floating profits in this business are floating profits after all. How can I leave so much? Besides, the cost of getting out of prison in the past few months is not cheap. I only have 10% at most."

He didn't hide anything, thinking that Du Yuesheng asked because he needed money. After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Master, I still have some face. Now that we are out of Tilanqiao, this half of my face may be enough to pay for it. Tell me how much you need. If it's not enough, I will borrow from you!"

Du Yuesheng didn't listen carefully to what Luo Hongwen said next, but just murmured:

"Zhang Shihao, what a terrifying intelligence gathering ability!"

"No wonder we are now like urinals...discarded like worn-out shoes!"

In the opium business, account books are very important. His apprentice would never show them to others easily, but the account was controlled by Zhang Shihao!

In the past, their Green Gang was so powerful that both the Military Control Commission and the Nationalist Government needed the Green Gang as a glove. But now, Zhang Shihao’s infiltration of the Green Gang is so huge, what about the entire Military Control Commission?
What about the entire National Government?
No wonder I can ignore everyone now!
Seeing Du Yuesheng "sleepwalking", Luo Hongwen whispered: "Master, Master..."

Du Yuesheng woke up in shock, looked at Luo Hongwen with a complicated expression, and said solemnly:
"Hongwen, do you know the conditions under which Zhang Shihao would let you go?"

"Seventy percent. He wants seventy percent of your floating profits from the opium business over the years. I calculated your floating profits over the years based on the figures he gave me."

Luo Hongwen was struck by lightning when he heard this.

On the one hand, there was a huge amount of money, and on the other hand, he was shocked by the infiltration of the Military Control Commission around him.

A feeling of powerlessness as if being overlooked by a giant filled my whole body.

"There's so much money, even if you sell me... it's still not enough."

Luo Hongwen collapsed weakly in his seat and said with a wry smile: "It would be better to just shoot me."

Kill him?
Luo Hongwen and Du Yuesheng knew that this was a joke, because even if they killed him, his money would not be saved, and his family might be even worse off.

Du Yuesheng analyzed: "Hongwen, I don't think Zhang Shihao wants you to pay this money. Those who were involved with you at the beginning and benefited from it, as long as they are alive, I am afraid that no one can escape."

Luo Hongwen smiled bitterly: "This is not enough!"

"Let's make do with it. He still gave us two years..."

After Du Yuesheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "The Yangtze River's back waves beat the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach. The young people nowadays are more ruthless than us!"

Luo Hongwen had a look of despair. The opium business was profitable, but now he couldn't run it, so where could he make such a huge amount of money?

Du Yuesheng thought about it and said carefully:

"Hongwen, I now have a way to make money..."

"Now the purchasing power of fiat currency is declining, prices are depreciating rapidly, and people are hoarding gold, controlled drugs and US dollars..."

He told Luo Hongwen about the "no-cost business" that he was familiar with. As Luo Hongwen listened, his eyes gradually lit up.

……

Xu Tian locked himself in the intelligence room, using up his brain cells with each piece of intelligence.

【Luo Hongwen has been released from prison, Du Yuesheng personally welcomes him. 】

A piece of information caught Xu Tian's attention. After all, Luo Hongwen was the prisoner "selected" by Zhang Anping. Xu Tian had discussed with Zhang Anping at the beginning whether to arrest this person.

Xu Tian’s opinion at the time was:

Luo Hongwen has no moral integrity and should not be arrested.

But Zhang Anping's attitude was firm:
Arrest him! Must arrest him! Because what he did... is no more evil than the traitors!
Xu Tian remembered that he had reminded Zhang Anping that this person was Du Yuesheng's apprentice, and Du Yuesheng would definitely protect this person to the death.

Zhang Anping said:

Then punish him thoroughly! Make him pay back whatever he earned from drug trafficking!

It was at that time that Xu Tian realized that in Zhang Anping's mind, opium was poison and selling opium was as bad as being a traitor.

[Now that Luo Hongwen is out of prison, then... doesn't that mean he is burdened with debts? ]

Xu Tian's eyes suddenly became playful. Since we want to try it, let's start with you.

Sure enough, when you have no inspiration, just read (write) more and you will always find ideas.

……

Everything that happened next went smoothly. Luo Hongwen got involved in the business of "smuggling", but he was a big boss of the Green Gang after all, so it was impossible for him to just do small things. He just looked for connections and found connections in the Air Force.

He was a generous man, and since he needed help from the Air Force and it was his first time doing so, he offered a price that the Air Force could not refuse - the share was too big, so much so that the Air Force's intermediary went to find the pilots as soon as possible.

A pilot took on the job, but when the "cargo" arrived and he was preparing to load and take off, he found that his plane was under maintenance and would need three days before taking off again.

The pilot who received the assignment was stunned, thinking, damn it, if I wait until three days later, the penalty alone will make me bankrupt - the business of "smuggler" is all about time difference, if I delay for three days, maybe gold in Nanjing will be cheaper than in Shanghai!

He was extremely anxious, but luckily, there was always a way out. Suddenly, he found out that his colleague was about to take off to Nanjing. He immediately found this colleague and begged him:
"Help me, brother! I'll fly for you this time!"

The pilots were all involved in the business of "trading", so the other party naturally understood what was going on. After a little thought, he agreed and only reminded the other party:
"Brother, the gentleman I serve is an important person. When the time comes, you just need to fly without ears and mouth. Do you understand?"

"I understand, brother, you are my real brother!"

On March 1946, 3, the pilot, who had finally seen a ray of hope, breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into a transport plane numbered 17.

……

"This Qi Wu is really impatient! He sent me three telegrams a day urging me to go back!"

Dai Chunfeng complained to Zhang Anping: "I think he is eager for me to compromise with those people as soon as possible after I return, so as to avoid being a thorn in my side."

Zhang Anping said nothing, using his silence to express his dissatisfaction with Dai Chunfeng's reinstatement of Mao Renfeng.

Dai Chunfeng shook his head helplessly. This brat has never been so cunning!

"Things in Shanghai are almost done. You should clean up the remaining mess. Well, I will go back to Nanjing first to see the progress of the reconstruction, and then I will return to Chongqing."

Zhang Anping didn't want to stay in Shanghai, so he said, "Director, let's go together. Let's leave the Shanghai affairs to the Shanghai station."

"Rest assured that you are with me. I will let Pu Chen assist you."

Zhang Anping had no choice but to say, "Okay."

"Go ahead, I'll just..."

Before he finished speaking, Secretary Wang quickly walked into the office. He was stunned when he saw Zhang Anping, but he reported directly without hesitation:

"Boss, I've checked it out. The reason for the pilot replacement is not because someone is targeting you. It's because... the pilot on duty was anxious to take the [cargo] to Nanjing, so he swapped shifts with Major Zhang."

Dai Chunfeng showed a look of confusion when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "Whose goods are they?"

"It belongs to Luo Hongwen."

"Luo Hongwen? He's only been out for a few days, and you're so impatient to pick him up?"

Dai Chunfeng was quite speechless. He thought someone was plotting against him, but he didn't expect this to be the case!

Zhang Anping was confused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Dai Chunfeng gestured: "Pu Chen, go ahead."

The secretary said, "The boss's private plane pilot was originally confirmed to be Major Zhang, but the Longhua Airport replaced him an hour ago."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Anping said unhappily, "The Air Force is getting more and more outrageous!"

"Commander, you're spoiling them too much!"

"Don't fly yet. Let me handle this matter."

Zhang Anping volunteered, full of murderous intent.

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand: "When water is too clear, there will be no fish. People are selfish. Luo Hongwen is Lao Du's apprentice after all. Give him some face. Next time we meet, I will give him a warning."

Zhang Anping wanted to speak, but Dai Chunfeng said, "You, don't be so murderous. Learn from me and cultivate your character."

Zhang Anping looked at a loss for words, and the matter was naturally... ignored.
