In recent years, film and television dramas with the theme of spy war have filled the screen, and if you want to tell the story of spy war, how can you miss the absolute protagonist of the Kuomintang's "military command".
In most spy war dramas, the image of the "military commanders" is like this, most of them wear shaved American-style military uniforms and shiny black leather shoes, while women wear boat-shaped hats obliquely, perm curly hair, apply grease and powder, and pedal leather boots, so they are not enchanting.
Is this really the case with the historical "military commander"**?
The author has a distant relative who used to work in the "military unification" system, and when the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River, he fled overnight with a colleague and went to Taiwan with great difficulty.
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
In the 80s of the last century, this veteran "military commander" returned to his hometown with a large number of Kuomintang veterans to visit his relatives, and the author asked him a similar question.
The old "military commander" laughed when he heard it: "What are you kidding, if that's the case, the military commander will be finished long ago!" ”
The old "military commander" said: "We have a long list of rules there, let's talk about wearing military uniforms, I have two sets of military uniforms, but I have worked in the 'military command' for several years, and I have not worn a military uniform a few times. Also, we are not allowed to carry guns many times. ”
Is that really the case? What kind of "family rules" does the "military command" have?
The "Military Command" was established not too early, and the history of this organization is not long, but it is unique in the history of the world and is one of the most efficient institutions in China.
The military commander's ability to achieve such a status is inseparable from its strict discipline and unique "family rules."
Strict discipline.
Come in standing up, go out lying down", this is a "famous saying" of Dai Li, the soul figure of the "military command." In the "military command," Dai Li was a big patriarch who was full of words, and discipline was his "family rule" for controlling the "military command."
It is not an easy task to enter the "military command," and every person who enters the "military command" must go through strict examination and screening, and even if he can enter the "military command," there are still a lot of rules waiting there, such as "six prohibitions.""Wait.
One of them is "not allowed to leave the organization without permission", so is it okay to take a long vacation? The answer is yes: no. According to the "military command", this is a lifelong occupation, unless "lying down and going out". So, if you want to leave a "resignation report" with a reason like "the world is so big, I want to see it", go and dream about it!
Another example is the rule that "free contact with the outside world is not allowed". All contacts between "military unification" personnel and the outside world must be reported, and without approval, even if the contact object is a Kuomintang organ such as the "Central Unification," they cannot have casual contacts. As for relatives, friends, classmates, and fellow villagers, not to mention, if you ignore discipline and interact privately, "Boss Dai is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!" ”
The military commanders also have the rule that "no overnight stays are allowed." In order to prevent leakage of secrets, the "military commanders" usually arrange accommodation in a unified manner, and the accommodation must be within the control of the "military commanders" and must be closely monitored. ** If their home is in the place where the "military command" is located, they can only stay at home one night a week, and violators will be severely punished; the "military command" has many means of enforcing discipline, and it is ruthless to the "enemy" and never soft on its own people.
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
In addition, the "military command" has different versions of discipline in different periods, and there are countless detailed items, and in the "Organizational Discipline Regulations" formulated by Dai Li, it is stipulated that "it is not allowed to meet customers, it is not allowed to leak office addresses, correspondence needs to be examined and transferred, and it is not allowed to leak ** numbers."
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the "Military Command" carried out heavy intelligence work against Japan, and even so, the "Military Commander" did not forget to "keep pace with the times," and in the "War of Resistance Version" disciplinary regulations, a new discipline was added: Marriage was not allowed during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
You have to ask: Is this impersonal?
Congratulations, you are right, the "military command" has never been humane in enforcing discipline, and it can be described as "iron-faced and selfless."
Secrecy. The secret units of the "military command" usually have divisions and stations, and groups are set up below the stations. According to the regulations on the secrecy measures of the "military command," ordinary spies do not know the office location of the higher-level organ, let alone the address of the person in charge.
In the "Military Command", "Confidential""Keeping secrets" is the top priority of the secret service's work, and all work and measures are centered on this.
The telegram code of the "military commander" itself is confidential, divided into multiple secret levels, the highest level of secret is kept and used by Dai Li, and others have no right to set foot in it, such as his telegram exchanges with Lao Chiang, the chamberlain, and Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and other important Kuomintang officials, these telegrams are decoded by Dai Li.
The password of the "military command" is not immutable, and the "military command" has both the practice of changing it regularly and the random change from time to time, and some passwords are changed after only a few uses, and the hand of the "military commander" often gives the opponent a headache.
In the "spy war" waged against the "military command," the Japanese did not take advantage of the "military command" in the slightest, but the Chinese Communists repeatedly gained the upper hand; it is undeniable that the Chinese Communists' technical reconnaissance standards are quite high, and in many cases they have overwhelmed the "military command."
However, we must not talk about the human factor, the Kuomintang once lamented in the later period: "There are 'conspiracy' everywhere in the world", and the CCP's "undercover" played a huge role in this.
Espionage and surveillance.
Anti-espionage"That is, within the party, government, and army to prevent enemy personnel from beating people on the Kuomintang, the so-called "enemy" mainly refers to the CCP, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese and the traitors, pro-Japanese organizations and individuals controlled by them were added.
Under the secrecy provisions, the "Military Command" has also formulated more detailed provisions, such as an internal surveillance system, and the establishment of an inspection department within the "Military Command" bureau, which can openly monitor the personnel of the military command and be responsible for enforcing discipline. Therefore, it is not unusual for the military commander to be monitored by "his own people".
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
The single-line surveillance network set up by Dai Li is even more criss-crossed and impermeable. The head of the department is supervised by the deputy, who is monitored by the secretary and the internal staff, and the radio operator monitors all the personnel involved in secrets.
The targets of surveillance sometimes include any unit or individual that "Chairman Chiang" needs to "care about." For example, local warlords, democrats, and dissidents in the military.
Long Yun, the king of Yunnan, Wang Jialie of Guizhou, Liu Xiang of Sichuan, and other democrats such as Zhang Lan, Luo Longji, and Soong Qingling were all the targets of attention of the "military unification."
In view of different targets, the military command has formulated differentiated measures and methods for "preventing espionage" and "surveillance," but the contents of these measures are extremely secret, and no materials have been made public so far.
If someone dares to violate the "house rules.""Offenders are usually immediately arrested, interrogated and thrown into prison, and even if they are in prison, the "military commanders" are also responsible for monitoring other prisoners in the same cell.
Military Command" some strange "rules" - spies do not carry guns.
Among the strict measures formulated by the "military command," there are some unbelievable specific regulations, such as "field agents are not allowed to carry guns," and spies are only allowed to carry guns when they are on public duty.
Dai Li's reason for this rule is that he has his own reasons. Dai Li said: "This is to conceal one's identity as much as possible, if one wears a gun on his waist and flaunts through the market, lest others do not know his identity as a 'military commander', how can he penetrate into various strata to carry out activities."
However, there are also risks in doing so, and Shen Zui, one of the "Three Musketeers of Military Command", has had problems. On that occasion, he took a few spies to meet the CCP underground personnel unexpectedly, and in the process of pursuit, the bare-handed drunk Shen was shot in the chest, but he failed to catch a single person.
Fortunately, the bullet was fired from a small Browning pistol, and the penetration was not strong, and the distance was long, so Shen was lucky to survive.
Afterwards, Shen Zui suggested to Dai Li: "The opponent has **, are our rules also changed?" ”
Dai Li shook his head and replied quietly: "Compared to not revealing your identity, this is not important!" ”
It can be seen from this that the rule of not carrying guns for field spies is entirely considered from the angle of concealment and secrecy, and this is consistent with the functional characteristics of the "military command."
The military commander "some strange "rules" - their own people escort their own people.
The task of escorting key criminals by the "military commanders" is usually carried out by the military police, but if the "military commanders" themselves commit crimes, the errands of escorting are secretly carried out by "their own people", and the methods used by the "military commanders" to escort the prisoners are also ingenious and creative.
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
For example, if Agent A and Agent B commit an incident in Shanghai at the same time and need to be escorted to Nanjing for interrogation, before leaving, the person in charge will make up a reasonable statement and tell Agent A and Agent B respectively: "Your matter has been investigated clearly, and the bureau has decided to let you atone for your crimes, and you will be responsible for sending Agent A (B) to Nanjing, so there will be nothing to do with you." ”
The person in charge will also hand over a sealed letter to one of the agents: "This is the relevant material, you have to hand it over to the inspection department." ”
The two spies who did not know whether they were alive or dead were completely kept in the dark, they cherished the opportunity to "atone for their crimes" very much, and stared at each other all the way, and no one had a chance to escape.
When the Inspectorate ** read the secret letter and arrested Agent A and Agent B at the same time, the two agents knew: Fooled! But it's too late, and you can only obediently tie your hands and catch it.
It is said that the "original" of this trick was Shen Zui, one of the "Three Musketeers of the Military Command", but this trick has since developed and evolved into many new "versions", and the "Military Commander" has used this trick countless times and tried it repeatedly.
Military command" some strange "rules" - not to use a pseudonym for real names.
As we all know, Dai Li has many pseudonyms, and there are historical sources that say that Dai Li's pseudonyms are as many as 27, such as "winter", "rain", "tao", and "spirit".", "Lei Yun", "Yu Long", "Yu Long", "Zhang Shuping", "Ma Jianxing", etc., among them, the pseudonym "Yu Long" has also been deduced into a romantic affair.
In the "Military Unification" Bureau, almost all ** and spies have pseudonyms, such as Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng's pseudonyms are "Jeff" and "Yiyan" respectively, and Tang Zong's pseudonym is "Naijian.""At the beginning, pseudonyms were usually used in secret contact, and over time, including Dai Li, some military commanders began to use pseudonyms when issuing warrants, reviewing official documents, and writing in layman's letters.
For example, there is a foreign affairs reconnaissance group under the inspection department of the Chongqing Garrison Headquarters of the Kuomintang, and its pseudonym (code name) is "Bi Mansion".
"Some strange "rules" - the official documents of the military command never mention Chiang Kai-shek.
In recent years, a number of historical archives have been declassified on the other side of the strait, and some people have discovered a strange phenomenon: after looking at the internal documents, telegrams, archives, and original drafts of orders of the military command, there is no mention of Chiang Kai-shek's name (including "Chairman Chiang" and "Chiang **" Zhongzheng").
However, as long as you look carefully, people can still see "Ordered to do it quickly."""Commandment.""and other clues that may be related to Chiang Kai-shek.
For example, when Lao Chiang issued an assassination mission to the "military commander", there was no record in the "military commander" file of "Feng Jiang's ** order" and other similar contents, but it was simply recorded as "Feng Oral Order" or "Feng Hand Order".
For example, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Shen Zui several times and signaled that Shen Zui was plotting to assassinate Mr. Soong Ching Ling, and the two even talked about the details of the operation, but according to Shen Zui's recollections, Lao Chiang never mentioned the words "Soong Ching Ling" from beginning to end, and the "Jun Tong" documents did not record it.
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
For another example, Lao Jiang summoned Mao Renfeng to plot the assassination of Li Zongren, and everything was talked about transparently, but Lao Jiang just didn't mention the words "Li Zongren".
Perhaps, the assassination was not a fair and righteous thing, Lao Jiang was jealous of this, and did not want to give people a handle, so Dai Li naturally had to "act carefully" and leave no traces.
However, as long as future generations scrutinize it a little, they still want to cover it up in the end, and they will always show their feet.
"Some strange "rules" - the language characteristic of "military command".
The internal telegrams and documents of the military command have their own habitual language and format, and there is nothing unusual about them at a cursory glance, but those who know how to do them can see their authenticity at a glance.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lu Han, chairman of Yunnan Province, decided to revolt against Chiang, and in the name of holding a meeting, he summoned Shen Zui and other Kuomintang military, police, constitutional, and special leaders in Yunnan together, and then put them under house arrest.
Lu Han mobilized Shen Zui to also participate in the uprising, hoping that Shen Zui would sign the notice of the uprising and send a telegram to all military organs in Yunnan, demanding that they immediately hand over the ** and radio stations and not resist.
General Luján was thoughtful, and he took out a pre-prepared transcript of the telegram.
Shen Zui thought about it for a long time, and finally signed the uprising telegram.
Subsequently, Shen Zui picked up the telegram order drafted by General Lu Han, read it carefully twice, and said: "This telegram cannot be issued, our military commanders have their own writing habits, and they will know that this is not an order issued by me at a glance." “
Of course, Shen Zui, who had already decided to revolt, would not embarrass General Lu Han, he took up the pen and rewrote the telegram, and quickly sent it out, achieving the desired effect.
Speaking of the language characteristic of the "military command," there is a special group of people in the "military command" who speak a special language that ordinary people cannot understand, but they occupy a place in many secret posts in the "military command."
They are Dai Li's hometown - Zhejiang Jiangshan people, Jiangshan dialect is difficult to understand, even Zhejiang people are difficult to understand the pure Jiangshan dialect.
This special language has become a category of characteristic language of the military command, and for the "cause" of the military command, Boss Dai can be regarded as scheming.
Military command" some strange "rules" - not to wear military uniforms, to wear civilian clothes.
The full name of the "Military Command" is the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the National Military Commission, which is originally an army establishment, and its members naturally wear military uniforms and ranks.
However, the "military command" is also a Kuomintang spy organization, and the work functions of the "military command" also determine that it is more secret than open.
Stills from the TV series "Before Dawn".
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the spies of the secret units of the "military command" do not wear military uniforms, and the civilian personnel of the headquarters of the "military command" bureau are even more explicitly required to wear civilian clothes.
Women wear cheongsams and men wear Mao suits, which is the basic choice for military commanders to wear civilian clothes.
Before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the General Affairs Office of the Bureau Headquarters issued a set of military uniforms to each person in the Translation and Telecommunications Section.
This is a full-style American-style military uniform, with exquisite materials and fine workmanship, wearing a new military uniform that is quite scraped, showing spirit and chic.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the General Affairs Office roared and took back the new military uniform, it turned out that it was the "** order" issued by Boss Dai, although there was no explanation, but everyone understood Boss Dai's intentions.
The Military Administration also has special requirements for female staff, unless there is a special need for work and access to specific places.
Otherwise, they are never allowed to wear red and green, wear heavy makeup, and set foot in dance halls and wine shops, all in all, they must not be too conspicuous.
It's all for one purpose, to keep it secret and not to reveal identity.
It is precisely because of this that the "military unification" was able to grow rapidly in a short period of time, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the "military unification" was a nightmare for the Japanese, which made the Japanese puppet traitors change their color.
However, the "military command" is also the vanguard of many crimes, and how should history evaluate the "military commander" and Dai Li, the soul of the "military commander"?
In this regard, Mr. Zhang Shizhao, who was full of wealth, was also sad, but after Dai Li's death, Mr. Zhang Shizhao wrote a couplet, which can be regarded as a more objective evaluation of Dai Li and the "military command" he created.
Born for the country, died for the country, his life has a chivalrous style, and the coffin of merit and crime is still undecided; The name is all over the world, the slander is all over the world, and the troubled times are in the spring and autumn periods, and the rights and wrongs are left for future generations to judge. ”
