Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Zhang Anping and Zheng Yaoxian's transition was seamless.

However, from Xu Baichuan's perspective, after Zhang Anping left him drunkenly, he immediately regained his senses and secretly issued an order to form a monitoring team within his traffic police corps.

Zheng Yaoxian, on the other hand, came to find him after receiving a warning from his comrade.

He had no doubt that Zhang Anping was one of his own—as it turned out, even among the four major families, even if someone had wanted to kill Zhang Anping, they would not have considered that Zhang Anping was a member of the underground Communist Party. Even if someone tried to associate Zhang Anping with the underground Communist Party, it would be rejected by his own people, let alone guess that he was a member of the underground Communist Party.

How could Xu Baichuan possibly think of Zhang Anping as a member of the underground Communist Party?

The heart-to-heart talk between Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian brought Chai Ying, who had been eagerly awaiting news, to a state of ecstasy upon receiving the news.

As mentioned before, those who are familiar with the Zhongjiu Army's achievements have absolute trust in it. The underground party is obviously familiar with the Zhongjiu Army's achievements, and not only in terms of achievements, but more importantly, they are extremely satisfied with the Zhongjiu Army and the current traffic police brigade's discipline.

This army, modeled after the New Fourth Army, was highly regarded by the local underground party members wherever it went. This goodwill meant that all the interested underground party members hoped that such an army would not decay in the darkness, but would move towards the light.

what does this mean?
This means that underground Communist Party members in various regions would try every means to establish contact with officers of the Chung Kuan Army/Traffic Police Corps, and after screening, select suitable candidates to make contact with, ultimately achieving the goal of getting them to defect.

This means that once this information is compiled into Intelligence Group Two, Chai Ying, the head housekeeper, will only feel that the burden on her shoulders will become even heavier.

It's no exaggeration to say that, as the de facto number two person in the second intelligence group, she was actually the one most concerned about Zhang Anping's plans within the traffic police headquarters.

From Chai Ying's perspective, Zhang Anping and his comrades in various places had a disorganized and chaotic situation within the traffic police headquarters. If the dozen or so branches under the command of the traffic police headquarters were a huge expectation, then Zhang Anping and his comrades' moves were completely scattered and disorganized.

If you can't form a good position in Go, what good are a lot of stones?

But now, with Xu Baichuan's "return to the team," suddenly looking at the vast chessboard, the scattered pieces can now be connected into lines and then into patches—the pieces on the entire chessboard have formed a sweeping force!
This armed force, which was formed by the Military Intelligence Bureau at the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan, experienced the defeat in the Battle of Shanghai, underwent reorganization by Zhang Anping, and fought its way through enemy lines during the War of Resistance, can now be changed to a member of the People's Army with a wave of the hand. This "gain" left Chai Ying in a state of ecstasy, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhang Anping didn't find Chai Ying's loss of composure unusual.

To date, there has only been one case of a Nationalist Army division-level unit defecting:
The Haicheng Uprising of the 184th Division.

As for military-level units, they don't exist at all!

The Traffic Police Corps has several subordinate brigades, each with a personnel strength between a reinforced regiment and a brigade. The entire Traffic Police Corps is considered a military-level unit. Although the Traffic Police Corps is nominally under the Police Headquarters, it actually has a strong military intelligence attribute. To outsiders, it is the armed force of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The collective uprising of the traffic police brigade has an impact no less than that of multiple atomic bombs!
It's no exaggeration to say that Chai Ying lost her composure like that.

It took Chai Ying a lot of effort to pull herself out of her overwhelming joy. When she saw Zhang Anping idly playing with his pen, she blushed and explained, "I never thought that one day someone like Xu Baichuan would become one of our comrades."

Looking back at Cai Chaiying's experience—more than ten years ago, she was a member of the Southern Guerrilla Force, facing the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and struggling to survive time and time again.
Six years ago, the Southern Anhui Incident brought grief to our loved ones and joy to our enemies.

Even just over a year ago, the Kuomintang launched a civil war with great momentum, boasting that it would wipe out the Communist army in three months!

But in the blink of an eye, Xu Baichuan, a Kuomintang general, became his comrade. It all seemed like a dream.

Unfortunately, Chai Ying underestimated the speed at which the People's Liberation Army could sweep away all obstacles.

From the perspective of almost all the revolutionary predecessors of this era, it can be said with certainty that they never wavered in their belief in future victory, but almost no one could have foreseen that the final victory would come so quickly—even at this moment, the balance of power between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party still showed that the Kuomintang army held a clear advantage, and apart from the Northeast, the Nationalist government still controlled the major cities and key roads of the country.

No one could have imagined that 22 months later, a brand new China would appear in the eyes of the world.

"I understand—don't forget I've been there too!"

Zhang Anping chuckled, his smiling eyes filled with pride. Compared to his predecessors who bravely and resolutely forged ahead in the darkness, he relied on the system's help and his confidence in the outcome. His determination was insignificant compared to that of his predecessors.

But from the perspective of a witness, he felt an unimaginable sense of pride.

The bloodshed of the April 12th Counter-Revolutionary Coup cast an unspeakable shadow over the future of the revolution. The Long March, forced upon them after the failure of the anti-encirclement campaign, filled ordinary people with pessimism about the outcome of the revolution. Yet, a group of people persevered and completed the uncertain Long March, subsequently settling down in the Northwest, steadfastly resisting the Japanese invasion, and continuously developing base areas behind enemy lines...

He witnessed the history contained in this text, and witnessed countless predecessors who, with their unwavering will and faith, forged ahead through darkness and finally walked towards the light!
Chai Ying clearly didn't understand Zhang Anping's mindset. She thought Zhang Anping was merely controlling his emotions. Faced with Zhang Anping's case, she immediately reflected on her own actions, adjusted her emotions, and then said in a low voice:

"By the way, Anping, the upcoming uprising of the Traffic Police Corps will probably have a big impact on you, right? How about this, when I meet with my superiors, we can discuss it, and you can take advantage of the Traffic Police Corps' uprising to evacuate? What do you think?"

Chai Ying thought that once the entire Traffic Police Corps completed its uprising, Zhang Anping would inevitably be suspected by the Kuomintang. After all, he was the true founder of the Zhongjiu Army, the predecessor of the Traffic Police Corps, and the Kuomintang would certainly not tolerate Zhang Anping at that time.

Faced with Chai Ying's good intentions, Zhang Anping thought for a moment and said, "Let's make it one of the contingency plans—if things go wrong, I'll evacuate; if I can still handle the situation, then we'll cancel it."

Zhang Anping understood Chai Ying's concerns, so he didn't argue with her. But in Zhang Anpo's view, evacuation?
nonexistent!

Because in the next 22 months, uprisings of Kuomintang army-level combat units will occur one after another, and uprisings of division-level units will be too numerous to count.

At that time, the uprising of the traffic police brigade would be as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean.

If it were just a revolt within the Traffic Police Corps, he would naturally be the most conspicuous figure. But mixed in with a bunch of revolts, Zhang Anping was just an insignificant little karami.

Who will care about him then!

Seeing Zhang Anping say this, Chai Ying gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him, and instead planned to "complain" to Sister Qian so that Sister Qian could order the evacuation, so that Zhang Anping wouldn't be reluctant to part with the jars and pots.

She never forgot Sister Qian's instructions:
All missions can fail, but Comrade Anping's safety must be guaranteed. The premise of all missions is to ensure Comrade Anping's safety!

It should be noted that in Comrade Li's eyes, Zhang Anping was not only a great talent in espionage, but also had outstanding abilities in economics. Comrade Li's greatest expectation was that Zhang Anping would be in charge of economic affairs after returning to the organization.

...Regarding Xu Baichuan's defection, because it was a matter of great importance, Chai Ying did not choose to report her work by sending a telegram. Instead, she chose to leave Nanjing and go to the liberated area to see Sister Qian in person to report her work.

Compared to Chai Ying, who was overjoyed and unable to recover for a long time after confirming that Xu Baichuan had turned against them, Sister Qian remained quite calm. Chai Ying couldn't help but express her "embarrassment" and ask Sister Qian for advice on how to significantly improve her mental fortitude.

Sister Qian couldn't help but chuckle:

"It's not that I have a good mindset! I saw through Anping's plan a long time ago—ever since Anping put Xu Baichuan in the position of commander-in-chief of the Loyal Salvation Army, I knew he was waiting for Xu Baichuan to defect. He's not the kind of person who makes a move carelessly!"

"When I saw Xu Baichuan's sense of righteousness during the War of Resistance, I knew that Anping's idea was highly feasible. After our work in the Loyal Salvation Army was in full swing, I knew that everything was going well. I just didn't expect Anping to be so patient, waiting until now!"

Like a hidden thread running through the grass, the underlying strategy is laid out over a thousand miles. After Xu Baichuan's return, looking back at Zhang Anping's initial plan, the only shock he could muster was his patience.

Chai Ying remained silent. So that's the reason.

After composing herself, Chai Ying revealed her other reason for coming:
"Comrade Chongwen, Comrade Anping's idea is that the organization should send a suitable candidate to the Traffic Police Corps to be in charge of reorganizing our comrades in the Traffic Police Corps and assisting Xu Baichuan in his work. Comrade Anping's idea is that the Traffic Police Corps should not rush to turn against us. He will find a way to create an opportunity for the Traffic Police Corps to gather together, and then turn against us."

The Traffic Police Corps currently has eighteen brigades, which are scattered in various places and are responsible for dealing with guerrilla forces and protecting traffic routes.

If an uprising were to occur, even if the traffic police corps, which were scattered together, revolted at the same time, they might not necessarily have the opportunity to evacuate to the liberated area as a whole.

So Zhang Anping's idea was to find a "suitable opportunity," and that suitable opportunity would naturally be the crucial moment when "the advantage is in my hands" more than half a year from now.

This is why he needed someone to organize the personnel structure within the traffic police headquarters and to work with Xu Baichuan.

"An opportunity to come together?"

Sister Qian murmured, "Zhang Anping's idea is really audacious, but that's exactly Zhang Anping's consistent style of doing things."

Zhang Anping is good at killing multiple birds with one stone; to put it bluntly, he's just pursuing maximum profit!
"I need to discuss this with the commander, but I guess he won't object."

If it were someone else, they would definitely prioritize stability. But Zhang Anping's plan, though seemingly risky, reveals itself over the years to be a case of maximizing profits while always prioritizing stability. Sister Qian guessed that Comrade Li would definitely agree with Zhang Anping's idea.

As expected, Comrade Li, who had come specifically for this purpose, agreed to Zhang Anping's idea without hesitation after hearing Sister Qian's report.

However, the two were at a loss regarding the candidates proposed by Zhang Anping.

Comrade Li and Sister Qian had a general understanding of the layout of the traffic police headquarters, but only a general understanding. There were many details about working behind enemy lines that they obviously couldn't know from the rear.

Some details can be provided by Intelligence Group No. 2, but more details need to be explained by Zhang Anping, the one who made the decision, in person. This makes the selection of this person quite difficult.

The key is this person. They are very likely to realize Zhang Anping's identity through the detailed handover with Zhang Anping—it is necessary to choose a 100% reliable comrade to carry out this mission.

Who is it?

Comrade Li and Sister Qian were so worried they almost plucked out all their hair.

The two initially thought of Lü Zongfang, but Lü Zongfang came from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Some people in the current traffic police brigade were transferred from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Comrade Lü would be easily recognized, and if something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

Later, Sister Qian mentioned Cen Anyan, but Cen Anyan had also worked in the Military Intelligence Bureau, specifically in the propaganda department. Moreover, he had betrayed Zhang Anping. Given Zhang Anping's reputation, some people might still remember Old Cen, and someone might even inform on him to avenge Zhang Anping—that wouldn't work either!

Other candidates were rejected by both of them.

Comrade Li was speechless, never expecting that the two of them would be unable to make a decision for so long over such a simple matter.

Finally, it was Chai Ying's words that woke people up from their slumber:

"Why don't we ask Comrade Anping? Perhaps Comrade Anping has some ideas...?"

Sister Qian was taken aback. Hey, Zhang Anping might actually have some ideas!

A coded telegram was immediately sent to Nanjing, and a reply arrived shortly afterward. The translated text contained only one sentence:

Zhao Gang, former political commissar of the Jin-Northwest Independent Regiment.

Upon seeing the words "Independent Regiment," Sister Qian instantly "woken up":
"Independent Regiment? I remember that during the War of Resistance, the commander of this regiment was incredibly audacious. He sent people to Shanghai to find Comrade Anping and 'snatched' a huge amount of weapons!"

Comrade Li, still shaken, said:

"It's that Independent Regiment! That Li Yunlong, he's really got guts!"

Zhang Anping's identity was a top secret of the organization, but then a comrade from the Eighth Route Army came to Shanghai and brought back a large batch of weapons. How could Sister Qian not be nervous when she found out?
Upon investigation, it turned out that the Independent Regiment had a very capable company commander who had a close relationship with Zhang Anping during his time in the United States and knew Zhang Anping's political stance, which led to this ridiculous scene. Because of this, Sister Qian made a special trip to Northwest Shanxi to "educate" him.

Because she had been to the Independent Regiment and met Zhao Gang, Sister Qian said:

"Comrade Zhao Gang is a refined and cultured man, yet he has earned the respect of a ruthless general like Li Yunlong, who has ousted many political commissars. He is indeed quite capable. Most importantly, when Comrade Zhao Gang was transferring from Beiping to Shanghai, it was Comrade Anping who saved him. Commander, I think Anping's idea is sound."

Seeing that Sister Qian said so, Comrade Li did not object, but he added:

"I remember that Company Commander Zheng Yingqi was a classmate of Comrade Anping. Let's temporarily transfer him over here and put him in charge of Comrade Zhao Gang's security." (End of Chapter)
