Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

What Zhang Anping is best at is seizing opportunities to kill two birds with one stone.

Du Shijun's blockade was a sudden incident, but Zhang Anping easily made multiple calculations based on this sudden incident.

Calculation 1:

Create the fact that Zhang Anping is a tiger in plain land and bullied by a dog.

If he wanted to reorganize the Military Intelligence Bureau, he had to make its members realize that things were different now - even the great Commander Zhang had been humiliated by just a few random people, was that enough!
Calculation 2:
Corrupt people’s hearts!

It is an undeniable fact that the Military Intelligence Bureau engaged in smuggling and was brutal against underground party members during the War of Resistance, but their contributions to the war are equally indisputable.

When the country was destroyed, countless passionate young men rushed to the battlefield. The operations behind enemy lines led by the Military Control Commission were no easier than those on the front lines, and were even bloodier.

Now that the Military Intelligence Bureau is going to be reorganized, a large number of Military Intelligence Bureau spies will definitely be laid off. Zhang Anping doesn't want these brave warriors who fought bravely in the War of Resistance, who sacrificed their lives to defend their country, to stand on the opposite side of the people and eventually become the souls buried with the corrupt regime.

So, he must disappoint these people!

He did all this for this purpose.

Will his plan succeed?

There is no need to doubt it, there is no need to doubt it - the Nationalist Government has never disappointed anyone when it comes to disappointing others!

Even though Du Shijun will be punished, the Kong family must protect him to the death, because Du Shijun's making things difficult for Zhang Anping is a reflection of the will of the Taotie families like the Kong family. Once the Kong family gives up Du Shijun, it means that they are afraid of Zhang Anping.

The reason why these Taotie families can run rampant and be greedy so easily is, to put it bluntly, that they take advantage of their "power". Once they show that they are afraid of Zhang Anping, this "power" will no longer exist!

The Nationalist government was obviously not a qualified regime, so even if Du Shijun was dealt with, he would make a comeback in another place - in a qualified regime, Du Shijun would be crushed, but in the Nationalist government, he would definitely make a comeback very quickly.

This is the root of the problem!
Again, the Nationalist government has never disappointed anyone in terms of disappointing them.

……

Military Control Commission, headquarters.

When Zhang Anping came to the bureau headquarters again, he felt a strong sense of laziness and dejection before he even entered.

He left the bureau headquarters in March. Although the bureau headquarters was facing reorganization at that time, the backbone was still there, and the stabilizing force was still there. Even when dark clouds were looming and the city was about to be destroyed, the KMT agents remained motivated.

But in just over a month or less than two months, the impression given by the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters changed.

Like an old man who is dying.

After getting off the car and stepping onto the land of the bureau headquarters, Zhang Anping felt countless gazes - the owners of these gazes were standing in front of the window, looking at him through the glass, and each gaze was full of calculation and confusion about the future.

The Military Control Commission needs to be reorganized, and eight out of ten parts must be removed.

"Anping, you are finally here!"

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

It’s Mao Renfeng!

"Anping, now that you are here, our Military Control Commission has a backbone!"

Mao Renfeng, with a heavy face, walked over quickly with Minglou:

"The entire Military Control Commission has been eagerly awaiting your arrival. Anping, you are finally here!"

Looking at the hypocritical Mao Renfeng, Zhang Anping did not give a good look, and said coldly:

"Let's have a meeting - to discuss the reorganization."

After saying that, Zhang Anping turned around and left, leaving Mao Renfeng alone on the spot.

"Anping, you are very dissatisfied with me!"

Mao Renfeng sighed faintly:
"But I, too...can't help myself!"

"Yu Nong died in a plane crash. He is guarding the funeral hall in Nanjing. All the problems have fallen on me. I... really can't do anything!"

Mao Renfeng spoke with great grievance, and did not complain at all about Zhang Anping, as if the arrest by Zhang Anping some time ago had never happened.

Ming Lou sighed:
"Commander Dai was very kind to Commander Zhang. It is understandable that Commander Zhang was not interested in military affairs after his death in the plane crash."

The two of them sang the same tune and frantically put accusations on Zhang Anping.

With Zhang Anping around, Mao Renfeng knew that he couldn't have the final say in the Military Control Commission, and his authority wouldn't even be the same as when Dai Chunfeng was around.

In this case, it would be better to label Zhang Anping as someone who is arrogant and bullies others with his inferior status.

Well, no matter how he stabs Zhang Anping in private, he will just let Zhang Anping "bully" him in public - of course, Mao Renfeng will naturally grasp the balance here and will not let people think that he, the director, is a complete waste.

After the performance, the two naturally went to the conference room.

A feast, this is a feast - more than 50,000 military commanders, let's see how Zhang Anping wields his sword to chop them down!

The atmosphere in the conference room was terribly depressing. Zhang Anping sat at the opposite end without saying a word. However, all the high-ranking military officials who came in, after feeling Zhang Anping's aura, sat down obediently in their seats. There was no whispering, only exchanges of glances.

Zhang Anping's father, Zhang Guanfu, also came. After he came in, he said nothing and sat quietly in his seat without even making eye contact.

No one took it seriously. It was common knowledge that Zhang Guanfu had already decided to leave - Dai Chunfeng was dead, and Zhang Anping was the deputy director, so it was impossible for Zhang Guanfu to stay in the Military Control Commission.

There were many people sitting here feeling very uncomfortable, and Shen Zui was one of them - after much deliberation, he chose to join Mao Renfeng. It was not because he thought Mao Renfeng could crush Zhang Anping, but because he was not Zhang Anping's direct descendant, and was worried that he would not get any share. For the sake of his brothers, he had to choose Mao Renfeng.

Facing Zhang Anping, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Mao Renfeng was the last one to arrive. After he and Minglou came in and sat in their seats, he said nothing and did not try to get close to Minglou like he did downstairs.

In front of the top leaders of the Military Control Commission, he naturally didn't need to act anymore.

Ming Lou, as Mao Renfeng's top general, naturally had to jump out and take the lead in "challenging", so he said:

"Deputy Director Zhang, what do you think about the reorganization of the Military Control Commission?"

Zhang Anping glanced at Minglou indifferently, then took out a document:
"The first thing is the pension annuity - the Military Control Commission is about to be reorganized. After the reorganization, the pension system may not be implemented, so it must be finalized before the reorganization!"

The National Government has a pension system.

It's useless -- it's of no use at all.

For every ten martyrs, at most one family member can receive a pension and annuity, but the amount they receive is discounted. Moreover, with prices skyrocketing, the so-called annuity is not even enough to cover the transportation costs.

The Military Intelligence Bureau never expected anything from the Nationalist government, and all the pensions were paid from its own internal account. Due to the skyrocketing prices, Dai Chunfeng intended to increase the pension annuity (the amount paid out annually), but before he could implement it, the person died.

Everyone at the meeting was quite surprised at the proposal that Zhang Anping put forward first, but when they thought about Zhang Anping's usual style of doing things, they felt it was very normal.

"Director Zhang," Mao Renfeng pointed his sword at Zhang Guanfu in response to this motion:

“Is there a problem with the finances?”

This is nonsense!

With the death of Dai Chunfeng, the Military Control Commission’s business was also ruined. Where would the money come from?

If they really had money, they wouldn't have to ask Zhang Anping to preside over the reorganization.

Zhang Guanfu said frankly: "There is not even enough money in the account to pay salaries."

Mao Renfeng immediately asked Zhang Anping: "Deputy Director Zhang, what are you going to do about the money?"

"I'll take care of the money—" Zhang Anping took the lead: "I will set up a pension annuity foundation and invest a certain amount of money to be operated by the foundation."

Mao Renfeng immediately said: "The review must be handled by the bureau headquarters!" "Okay."

After Zhang Anping agreed, Mao Renfeng looked at the senior executives attending the meeting:

"What do you think?"

No one opposed this, and even if they did, they would not bring it up at the meeting - Dai Chunfeng led the Military Control Commission with the mindset of a large family, and if such a thing that was beneficial to the relief was opposed at the meeting, it would easily be spurned by thousands of people.

Mao Renfeng made the final decision: "Let's do as Deputy Director Zhang wishes. Regarding the supervision matter... well, Minglou, you can arrange it later."

"Yes."

Zhang Anping raised the second topic:

“Severance pay.”

"The reorganization of the Military Control Commission is imminent, and removing eight out of ten is a red line - the brothers have gone through life and death, and it is impossible to just lay them off. I intend to increase the severance pay and increase their chances of survival."

"With this money, at least my brothers will have some capital to make a living when they start to earn a living in the future."

After saying that, Zhang Anping took out the document and passed the photocopied content around.

This document contains the amount of severance pay and the calculation method for severance pay for Military Control Commission members.

Everyone took the document and calculated in their minds, and after coming up with a huge number, they looked at each other in surprise.

Mao Renfeng also calculated a rough number. Faced with this huge number, his eyes became extremely gloomy.

How much money does Zhang Anping have in his hands?
No one in the meeting room said a word, obviously shocked by the amount of money.

"Check the accounts!" Ming Lou stood up and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, we must check the accounts!"

He looked at Zhang Anping fearlessly:
"Deputy Director Zhang, you are making fun of the Military Control Commission's wealth!"

The amount of money was really huge, even Young Master Ming was shocked and he had to jump out.

The pension annuity fund is a huge investment, and the severance pay is another large sum - Mao Renfeng must be tempted. As Mao Renfeng's confidant, how could he remain indifferent?
Zhang Anping glanced at Minglou coldly:
"There are assets here that were liquidated by the Traitor Property Liquidation Committee, but the bulk of it is the proceeds from the reorganization of the Loyal Rescue Army - this money is not the wealth of the Military Control Commission!"

Ming Lou was puzzled: "The benefits of reorganizing the Zhongjiu Army? What's going on?"

Zhang Anping threw a piece of paper at Minglou, but it landed on the conference table:
"The funds left behind by the friendly forces after the 100,000 loyal soldiers were taken away - this is the detailed list, is there any problem?"

"Are there any! questions?!"

Zhang Anping repeated each word with a terrifying murderous look in his eyes.

The temperature in the conference room dropped suddenly and no one dared to say a word.

Zhang Anping made great contributions to the establishment of the Zhongjiu Army. After the wartime reorganization, the Zhongjiu Army was almost solely supported by Zhang Anping. It can be said that it was Zhang Anping's hard work.

Now that the Zhongjiu Army has been reorganized, is it difficult to understand why Zhang Anping is so furious?

Ming Lou was bullied by Zhang Anping, so Mao Renfeng naturally stepped in. He knocked on the table:

"Deputy Director Zhang, this is a meeting, Ming Lou is also impartial, you have lost your composure!"

Zhang Anping took a deep breath, took out another document, and passed it to everyone:
“This is a surplus in the hands of the liquidation committee.”

Everyone passed it around, and Mao Renfeng naturally got a copy as well.

Looking at the numbers on the list, his eyes flickered. Zhang Anping really had too much money in his hands. If he used this money as severance pay, he, Mao Renfeng, would feel... very uncomfortable.

The Nationalist government has a rehabilitation plan, and the severance pay for a colonel-level officer is:
12 months basic salary + years of service × 2 months allowance.

According to the ten-year service period, that is:

12×48000 + 10×24000 = 816000 yuan

Close to 82 French francs, is that a lot?
However, if converted into US dollars according to the official exchange rate, 82 French francs is less than 400 US dollars, while the monthly salary of a US military lieutenant stationed in China is 300 US dollars!

A colonel-level officer who has served for ten years has devoted almost his best years to the military, and everyone knows what the domestic economy is like at that time - what can an officer who only knows how to fight do with $400 in repatriation money?
Faced with soaring prices, this money is really a drop in the bucket!
The severance pay formulated by Zhang Anping was based on the severance pay of the National Government, but confidentiality compensation, risk compensation, and anti-Japanese war compensation were also added. In total, it was more than twice the severance pay of the National Government.

Taking a colonel-level officer as an example, it is about one thousand US dollars.

Is it too much?

According to Zhang Anping, not much, really not much.

But Mao Renfeng thought it was too much - the salary of the Military Control Commission (normal salary + special allowances) was higher than that of the army, but the severance pay could not be that much higher!

Wouldn't it be nice to keep this money as future military funding?
But he knew that the money was controlled by Zhang Anping and he could not take it away. The most important thing was that this far exceeded the severance pay of the National Government, which had been agreed by everyone attending the meeting. If he tried to stop it, he would become a target.

Mao Renfeng could only hold it in and wonder if it was possible to pry a large sum of money from Zhang Anping.

in conclusion:

no way!
But in this way, Zhang Anping would not encounter too much resistance in reorganizing the Military Control Commission, and would not lose the support of the people.

[We must find a way to transfer the money from Zhang Anping. We can’t let him complete the reorganization so easily! ]

Mao Renfeng made up his mind - since he, Mao Renfeng, could not enjoy this huge amount of funds, then you, Zhang Anping, should forget about winning over everyone's hearts!

He winked at Minglou.

Minglou understood and stood up:

"Deputy Director Zhang, this severance pay is too high!"

Minglou clearly opposed it.

Shen Zui objected: "Director Ming, many of the brothers in the bureau don't have any skills. Once they are laid off, what will they eat and drink? Moreover, due to family rules, many brothers are alone. After being laid off, they have to start a family and a career. This money is not much!"

Ming Lou insisted: "But the standards set by Deputy Director Zhang are much higher than those of the Nationalist Government. Once this matter gets out, our Military Control Commission will be the target of public criticism!"

Someone directly responded: "This is the money raised by our military!"

It is politically correct to seek benefits for your subordinates, and you have to do so even if you have defected to Mao Renfeng.

Ming Lou continued to object: "There has to be a limit. It's too high! People are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. This will cause problems!"

More people joined the debate. Most people thought that they could persevere, even if it meant becoming the target of public criticism. However, at the instruction of Mao Renfeng, many people opposed the idea - the reason was that the money was too much.

Is that really a lot of money?
not much!

But it is far higher than the standards of the National Government.

Mao Renfeng asked Zhang Anping to reorganize the Military Control Commission, partly because Zhang Anping had money, and partly because he wanted to make Zhang Anping lose the support of the people.

As a result, Zhang Anping came up with such a generous plan - this is not about losing people's hearts, but about winning their hearts!
How could he agree?!
But because he was the director, he could not come out and object, so he had to delay time. After this meeting was fruitless, he tried every means to pry a sum of money from Zhang Anping to make Zhang Anping's plan a pipe dream.

It doesn’t matter even if the money doesn’t reach your hands.

This argument was within Zhang Anping's expectations. Faced with the heated debate, Zhang Anping sat back with an indifferent look on his face, clearly wanting to see what tricks Mao Renfeng would come up with.

The argument lasted for a long time, and neither side was willing to give in, and there was no result. This was Mao Renfeng's purpose. After delaying for more than an hour, Mao Renfeng frowned and stood up and said:

"Will such a quarrel lead to any result?"

"Dismiss! Let's discuss this carefully when we get back. We'll have another meeting tomorrow!"

After that, he left on his own. (End of this chapter)
