Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 771: The Fall of the Green Harrier
Longhua Airport.

Zhang Anping personally drove Dai Chunfeng to the preheated special plane. The security personnel in the rear car boarded the plane for routine inspection. Dai Chunfeng took this opportunity to instruct Zhang Anping:
"After we finish the work in Shanghai, you will go to the Northeast to set up the stage. This big show depends on you."

"Don't worry."

"Well, I trust you to do your job - Pu Chen, Anping has a strong temper, you should give him more advice and try to smooth things over when appropriate."

The secretary nodded.

Dai Chunfeng didn't have anything else to say, after all, he had said everything he needed to say, so he smiled and said:

"After this busy period, I think I'll have some peace and quiet. Then I can focus on dealing with the Communist Party."

Zhang Anping said seriously: "This is the real business."

"Brat." Dai Chunfeng laughed and glared at Zhang Anping in pretended anger.

The security personnel completed the security check of the plane and sent a safe signal to Dai Chunfeng who was waiting below. Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and signaled Zhang Anping to drive out, then slowly climbed up the ladder.

Zhang Anping got in the car and drove to a distance. After waiting for a while, Dai Chunfeng's private plane started moving.

After watching the special plane No. 222 accelerate on the runway and take off, Zhang Anping slowly withdrew his gaze.

Secretary Wang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said at this time:

"Captain Zhang, let's go back."

"Ah."

Experienced driver Zhang Anping steered the car steadily towards the Military Control Commission's base in Hongkou.

But in the city, we encountered crowds of people rushing to buy.

The rapid depreciation of the legal currency made Shanghai residents afraid to deposit it in banks or keep it in their hands. Once they had money, they would immediately exchange it for various materials. The middle and late part of each month was the time for salary payments, so the working class who received their salaries would be eager to go shopping, which easily led to a buying spree.

Because of the rush to buy, the journey, which usually takes only ten minutes, took more than an hour.

During this time, Secretary Wang sincerely complimented Zhang Anping, who had an experienced driving style: "If it were anyone else, they would have wanted to rush forward at this time."

"At the very least we have to call the police to clear the way."

"There are few people who are as considerate of the people as you, Commander Zhang."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "This is called stealing a little time to relax from busy life."

Secretary Wang laughed when he heard this and thought that Chief Zhang was quite humorous.

The car finally arrived at the base in Hongkou. Just as we were about to get off the car, the sky suddenly darkened.

Zhang Anping looked up at the sky through the car window and saw thick dark clouds rolling in rapidly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds.

Secretary Wang also noticed this scene. He muttered to himself: "Is it going to rain heavily? I didn't hear any relevant forecasts!"

Zhang Anping frowned and said, "It should be a localized rainstorm."

Both of them looked worried. After they parked the car in the yard and got out, they walked to the entrance of the main building, and it became dark again.

It was clearly noon, but it felt like evening.

The two of them stood at the entrance involuntarily, staring at the gathering dark clouds.

With the sudden strong wind, the sky became darker and darker. In just a few minutes, the sky, which seemed to be as dark as two degrees in the evening, suddenly fell into darkness - it was not even one o'clock in the afternoon, but the whole world seemed to have entered the middle of the night.

A flash of lightning lit up the sky that was completely covered by dark clouds. The rolling dark clouds were surging wantonly. As the world returned to darkness, a shocking thunder sounded.

boom

The thunder was dull and terrifying.

Zhang Anping suddenly said, "Secretary Wang, what's the weather forecast in Nanjing?"

"It was Haru who reported it before."

"Ask again immediately—" Zhang Anping's expression was hidden in the darkness and could not be clearly distinguished, but his voice was obviously impatient:

"I'll contact the airport in Nanjing!"

The two rushed into the building in a hurry.

……

Nanjing, Daxiaochang Airport.

"Oh my god, God has gone crazy!"

A ground crew member hurriedly ran into the room and finally sighed in horror: "The sky was clear just now, but it became like this in less than seven minutes?"

"It's really rare." The companions in the room were also terrified: "In the blink of an eye, it went from noon to the middle of the night. It's too weird."

Rumble

Thunder flashed, followed by a rumbling thunder. The next second, raindrops the size of soybeans fell. In just a blink of an eye, countless raindrops fell from the sky.

The dim light in the house passed through the open door and illuminated the tiny darkness at the door. In the area covered by the light curtain, countless bean-sized raindrops could be seen falling rapidly. In a blink of an eye, water, mist and bubbles appeared on the ground.

"My goodness, this rain is unreasonable!"

A ground crew member closed the door and couldn't help but exclaim.

Another ground crew member laughed, "It's a rainy day, let's play cards! In this weather, even the king of heaven can't come down!"

"Yes, come on, let's play cards! Let's play cards!"

The ground crews in the room gathered together and began to "fight hard".

The ground crew can be lazy and play cards, but the situation in the control tower is not so leisurely.

The sudden change in the weather canceled all the planned landings, and the control tower was busy negotiating with the planes in the sky, directing them to stay away.

"Sir, there are currently four planes in the sky, and three of them have safely left the cumulonimbus clouds."

"Pay attention to the last plane - send a message to surrounding airports immediately to inquire where conditions are available for landing!"

"Yes!"

The tower at Daxiaochang Airport has obviously made a judgment that this sudden rainstorm will not stop easily, so the current solution is to let the planes in the sky land at other airports.

The rainstorm was getting heavier, and the tower controller asked: "What's the situation with the fourth plane? Has it escaped from the cumulonimbus cloud?"

"Report, there is no news yet."

"Keep watching."

The tower control didn't take it seriously; it was common for Americans' radios to have problems in this kind of weather.

But after waiting for five minutes, he asked again, but was told that there was still no news. The tower commander was a little uneasy and said, "Contact the radar station and ask about the situation of the fourth plane."

"By the way, check what transport mission the Air Force aircraft numbered 222 is on."

A few minutes later, two replies appeared one after another:
"Report, the radar station said that the signal of the fourth plane was lost eight minutes ago!"

"Report, plane number 222 is the private plane of Director Dai of the Military Control Commission!"

what?
Dai Chunfeng’s car?

Radar station lost signal?

The tower commander panicked and immediately gave the order: "Tell the radar station to find the fourth plane and keep calling on the radio. Don't stop!"

……

Shanghai, Hongkou, Military Control Commission stronghold.

Zhang Anping stood in front of the window, staring at the dark night outside, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

Heavy rain in Nanjing, day turns into night!

Dark day!

For the phenomenon of dark day to occur, the thickness of the clouds must be more than ten kilometers!

This is extremely bad weather, which is a disaster for aircraft flights.

【he……】

[Will it be as fate would have it? ]

Zhang Anping's eyes flickered.

There were hurried footsteps coming from outside. It was Secretary Wang's footsteps.

A heavy look of solemnity emerged on Zhang Anping's face.

The door was pushed open and Secretary Wang rushed in in panic:

"Commander Zhang, news has come from Nanjing that the boss's car can't be found on the radar!"

Zhang Anping looked shocked and asked hastily, "How many planes are there in the sky over Nanjing right now? What's their situation?"

The secretary's voice was trembling: "There are four in total. The other three have escaped from the cumulonimbus cloud."

"This kind of sudden rainstorm, with cloud thickness exceeding ten kilometers, may interfere with the radar and make it impossible to capture aircraft signals..."

Zhang Anping murmured to himself: "The signal from the plane was temporarily lost. It should be because of the impact..."

"My cousin is a man of good fortune. A thunderstorm can do nothing to him. Nothing to him..."

Zhang Anping's mumbling relieved the secretary's uneasiness and tension.

But the heaviness remains.

Time passed little by little.

Zhang Anping and Secretary Wang simply moved directly into the telegraph room to have first-hand access to telegrams at any time.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, it was still raining heavily in Nanjing, but the sky was no longer as dark as before. Obviously, the most dangerous time had passed, but there was still no good news!
The radar never detected the signal of the fourth plane!

The control tower at Nanjing Daxiaochang Airport was never able to reestablish contact with Flight 222.

This means... Plane 222 has lost contact!
Zhang Anping ordered with a distorted look:

"Order all airports and radar stations around Nanjing to pay attention to the situation in the sky! If you spot the commander's plane, report to me immediately!"

"Ask the Air Force for help, and ask them to send out planes to search for Plane 222!"

A staff officer said at this time:

"Commander Zhang, the current climate around Nanjing is not suitable for aircraft takeoff."

Zhang Anping looked at the staff officer who was speaking with bloodshot eyes:
"Let them take off! Otherwise, I will poke a hole in the sky of the Air Force!"

The staff officer was frightened by Zhang Anping's bloodshot eyes. The director of the telecommunications department pulled the staff officer away and then ordered the telecommunications personnel:

"Send a message according to the district commander's order!"

"Yes!"

Time passed little by little, and it was not clear whether the Air Force had taken off any planes, but there was no news from the radar stations and airports around Nanjing.

When the time came to 4:30 in the afternoon, the entire telegraph room was shrouded in an indescribable heaviness.

Dai Chunfeng's car lost contact at 1 o'clock. Now three and a half hours have passed. If nothing happened, even if there was a problem with the radio, the signal should have been captured by radars in other places by now.

But, no!
The special plane No. 222 seemed to have disappeared in the sky.

What this means is self-evident.

When the minute hand moved to "6" with difficulty and determination, Zhang Anping, who had been silent for a whole hour, suddenly stood up.

"map!"

The staff officer hurriedly placed the map in front of Zhang Anping.

Glancing at the map of Shanghai on the table, Zhang Anping angrily tore it in half and then roared:

"Map of Nanjing!"

The staff officer was so flustered that he couldn't find the map in a hurry. It was the director of telecommunications who found the map and placed it in front of Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping suppressed his anxiety and fear and said in a tone that was difficult to repeat: "Where was the radar's last signal?"

“Here—30 kilometers north of Daishan.”

Zhang Anping stood up quickly:
"Prepare the car! Go to Longhua Airport!" The Director of Telecommunications said anxiously, "Chief, it's raining so hard outside..."

But the following words were scared back by Zhang Anping's cold eyes.

……

The car was moving quickly through the rain. Although Shanghai in March was much colder due to the daytime rainfall, one should not feel the cold inside the sealed car.

But the driver was feeling extremely cold. He secretly tried to open the car window a little to feel the cool wind, and found that it was very warm.

Now the driver understood that the so-called coldness was due to the person behind him...

He had no choice but to quietly close the gap in the car window.

Secretary Wang, who was standing by, noticed the driver's little move. After realizing why he did it, he couldn't help but peek at Zhang Anping with the help of the rearview mirror.

At this moment, Zhang Anping's face was covered with a thick layer of frost. Although he was sitting in a relatively calm manner, his hands were clenched tightly, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce and kill at any time.

[If something really happens to the boss, what will he do? ]

A thought suddenly flashed through the secretary's mind.

The thought took his breath away.

So, what was Zhang Anping thinking at this time?
[Now, is this old Dave's plan or... has something really happened? ]

In fact, at this time, Zhang Anping felt even more worried.

the reason is simple:
Guilty!

When he saw with his own eyes that the pilot of Dai Chunfeng's private plane was replaced, he immediately thought that it might be Xu Tian's work.

He believed that Xu Tian would not hold back.

But who is the one being plotted against?

It’s Dai Chunfeng!
A person that Zhang Anping would rather take indirect means than take directly.

At this time, Zhang Anping was most worried about another conjecture:
What if Dai Chunfeng just went with the flow?
The chess piece has been placed and the player has no regrets - what if Dai Chunfeng was using this mentality in his planning?
Maybe he has discovered Xu Tian's actions and is now trying to find out the mastermind behind Xu Tian?

Zhang Anping's long experience in intelligence warfare behind enemy lines made him more cautious as he got closer to victory, because a comeback often occurred before the dawn.

In short, what he needs to do now is to implement his own personality well and use his "true nature" to control his subsequent actions.

……

Longhua Airport.

The airport commander looked at Zhang Anping in shock:
"Zhang Shihao, are you crazy? It's raining so hard, and you want my people to take off now?"

"This is not the way to die!"

Zhang Anping was stunned: "So, you...didn't send a rescue plane before?"

He actually knew that the Shanghai station had withheld his order - he had asked airports in various places to take off planes to search. This order was completely difficult for the Air Force in the pouring rain, and the Air Force was not stupid and would not pay any attention to it at all.

So the Shanghai station withheld his order.

However, he had to "lose his mind", so he pretended to be confused, but now he must reveal this "confusion".

The airport commander said angrily: "What a joke! I'm not a retard!"

Zhang Anping turned and left without any hesitation.

The airport commander looked at Zhang Anping's back and spat:
"Do you really think that the Air Force was founded by the Military Control Commission? Now Dai Chunfeng's life and death is unknown. If he dies, the good days of the Military Control Commission will be over. What kind of Zhang is this?!"

Unfortunately, he spoke too early.

Eighteen minutes later, two fully armed military action teams rushed into the airport:
"After investigation, Longhua Airport is suspected of smuggling controlled drugs and gold. The Military Control Commission has been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation! Anyone who resists or obstructs will be killed without mercy!"

The Longhua Airport was stunned. What the hell? Even the Military Control Commission dared to investigate such a thing?

are you crazy?
Aren’t you afraid of exposing the truth?
Don’t you know who the real head of the Air Force is?
However, faced with the murderous KMT armed forces and the oncoming Loyalists, the Longhua Airport chose to surrender.

Zhang Anping appeared at Longhua Airport again. Standing in front of the tied-up airport commander, he asked:
"Now, can the plane take off?"

The commander said angrily: "Zhang Shihao, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? You are blowing the roof!"

Zhang Anping said calmly: "Take him away, investigate him strictly, and punish him severely."

He ignored the commander who was being dragged away by the Military Intelligence Bureau agents and gave orders to the agents around him:
"Tell the pilots, whoever is willing to take the risk of taking off, I will protect him even if he is caught in the next smuggling case! Otherwise...he will be severely punished!"

With this statement, naturally there were pilots who gritted their teeth and were willing to give it a try, and a total of four planes took off in the rain afterwards.

……

When Zhang Anping exposed the truth in Shanghai, the news that Dai Chunfeng's plane had lost contact also reached Chongqing.

When some high-ranking officials in Chongqing learned about the bad weather in Nanjing, they immediately leaned towards one possibility:
The plane crashed!

These people couldn't help but get secretly excited when they thought that Dai Chunfeng, the pillar of the Military Control Commission, would die in the plane crash. Once Dai Chunfeng died, no one would be able to control the huge Military Control Commission. At that time, this behemoth that had become a thorn in everyone's side could be easily dismembered.

Many people have seen the benefits currently controlled by the Military Control Commission:
Liquidation of traitors’ property, smuggling channels, sales channels for controlled drugs, and military industry relocation…

Even before the news of Dai Chunfeng's death came, they had already contacted each other secretly and prepared to devour him.

Dai Chunfeng died, but a lot of people got rich. This seems... not bad!
But after all, there are still people who care about Dai Chunfeng, such as the chief attendant.

Although he was dissatisfied with Dai Chunfeng's continuous expansion of his power, his control of the Military Control Commission, and his desire to seek the position of Navy Commander, Dai Chunfeng's loyalty was real after all. When he heard that Dai Chunfeng's plane had lost contact, he immediately ordered the Nanjing defenders:
Search and rescue!

Someone in the attendant room reminded: "What if the plane gets lost due to heavy rain and flies to the communist area? What should we do?"

When the chief aide-de-camp heard of this concern, he immediately sent someone to meet with the Chinese Communist Party representatives to put pressure on them early on.

……

Military Control Commission, headquarters.

Mao Renfeng paced back and forth anxiously. Old Dai's private plane had lost contact, and it was very likely that something had happened. Then the Military Control Commission...

The huge scale of Zhang’s New Year’s Eve dinner couldn’t help but emerge in his mind, and a feeling of despair and suffocation arose.

If there was no Dai Chunfeng and the Military Control Commission, who could be Zhang Shihao's opponent!

He...will be crushed easily, right?
Ming Lou and Zheng Yaoxian stayed in the office. No one spoke, but both of them looked at each other with an indescribable look.

[Is it Anping? ]

【Ninety-eight percent! 】

After the two exchanged glances, they felt helpless.

It’s been less than 24 hours since I received Sister Qian’s telegram…

……

Shanghai, Longhua Airport.

Half past ten in the evening.

The lights at the airport were all on. The ground crew, who had thought they had a day off, were carefully pretending to be busy, fearing that the damned Military Intelligence Bureau agents would take them away the next second.

Fortunately, the rain stopped two hours ago, otherwise they would still be shivering and working.

The tower finally gave the order to prepare for the plane to land!

The ground staff who had been slacking off stopped pretending and began to work in an intense and orderly manner.

After the two planes successfully landed under the guidance of the ground, no more planes appeared in the sky.

"What about the other two?"

The ground crew were puzzled. Weren't there four planes flying at around six o'clock?
A ground crew member coming out of the tower said cautiously, "It crashed."

"Hiss—a full half!"

An officer shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk. If you want to die, don't drag us down!"

tower.

Zhang Anping stood in silence. Behind him, Secretary Wang was making a report:

"Nanjing dispatched troops to conduct a search at 6:30 p.m., but due to heavy rain, the progress was slow and they have not yet reached the missing area."

Zhang Anping asked solemnly: "How long will it take?"

"According to the report, it will take at least three days."

"Three days, three days, the daylily is cold!" Zhang Anping suddenly became furious: "Three days, and you still can't climb to the place?"

Secretary Wang could only put forward the difficulty: "It rained heavily in Nanjing and the roads were severely damaged."

As if accepting this explanation, Zhang Anping asked after a moment of silence: "Didn't the plane find anything?"

Secretary Wang shook his head gently: "No."

"Now..." Zhang Anping glanced at the sky, took a deep breath, and changed his words: "Send again tomorrow morning!"

"Captain Zhang, we can't send any more!" Secretary Wang hurriedly stopped them: "Two planes crashed today. If another accident happens, the Air Force will not let us go."

Zhang Anping's fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

But he gave in and finally gave up the idea of ​​sending the air force to die again: "Immediately order the Zhongjiu Army stationed in Shanghai to recruit all soldiers with parachute experience. Once the rain stops in Nanjing, immediately organize an airdrop to the lost contact site to start searching."

After this order came out, Zhang Anping seemed to have an idea, and immediately said: "In addition, now immediately offer a reward to form an airborne team. As soon as it gets light tomorrow morning, no matter if it stops raining or not, immediately airdrop to the place where we lost contact——"

At this point, Zhang Anping's eyes fixed:
"I am coming too!"

Secretary Wang was shocked: "Chief Zhang, you have no skydiving experience, and skydiving in the rain is extremely dangerous. You can't go!"

Zhang Anping stared at Secretary Wang with murderous eyes: "Execute the order!"

……

At the airport, Zhang Anping invited several soldiers with rich parachuting experience to give him intensive lessons overnight and impart their parachuting experience to him.

Zhang Anping actually knows how to skydive, and he’s a veteran at it—he had extensive skydiving experience in his previous life, and the system space has provided him with special training, so how could he not understand?
He knows the risks of skydiving in the rain better than anyone else!

It was truly a life-or-death situation.

Of course he wouldn't jump, he was just using this method to "patch up" - if Dai Chunfeng was really fishing, he had to use a dangerous way to clear himself of suspicion.

Besides, he still trusts his good brother very much!

Sure enough, at four o'clock in the morning, Xu Baichuan, covered in mud, appeared at Longhua Airport.

Xu Baichuan was not in Shanghai before. Hearing that Dai Chunfeng was in trouble, he hurried back to Shanghai in the rain. The roads at that time were not the highways of later generations. It was very dangerous to travel in the heavy rain. The mud on his body was evidence of this.

He had just returned to Shanghai and wanted to change his clothes, but unexpectedly someone reported that Zhang Anping wanted to lead the team to skydive in the rain. Xu Baichuan was so scared that he rushed to Longhua Airport.

Finally we arrived before the airborne team set off.

Thanks to Xu Baichuan's strong performance, Zhang Anping was unable to "get his wish" and lead the team to participate in the skydiving in the rain in the morning.

Only the airborne team set off.

The news from the airborne team after landing made Xu Baichuan secretly shocked:
Of the nine people who participated in the airborne landing, only four have managed to reunite, and the fate of the other five is unknown.

The four men launched a search, but no news came back.

The good news is that by 11 o'clock, the rain in Nanjing had completely stopped, and even the dark clouds dispersed. The airborne search team, which had been ready for a long time, rushed straight to Nanjing under the load of several C47s. More than one hundred paratroopers were airdropped within a radius of kilometers of the place where contact was lost and began searching.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, 27 hours after Dai Chunfeng's special plane lost contact, an airborne search team encountered a village near Daishan. Someone in the village told the search team that a plane was suspected to have "landed" yesterday.

The search team then went to Daishan, and at around 7 pm, they found a crashed plane in Daishan.

The serial number can still be seen on the wreckage:
222!

They immediately reported the news to the command center at Longhua Airport via the radio.

……

Longhua Airport.

Secretary Wang came over hurriedly with a telegram.

"The 7th search team found the wreckage of the boss's plane in Daishan."

Zhang Anping turned his head and looked at Secretary Wang blankly. There was no other expression on his face or in his eyes except blankness.
