When we talk about the role of a spy, there's a very apt description: they're like transparent people in the middle of a crowd, gathering intel without revealing it, so you don't know it. In today's information age, this statement seems even more profound. Yes, the existence of intelligence agencies has penetrated into every crevice of life, but nevertheless, I must emphasize that China is not as dashing and handsome as James Bond, let alone a hero in the eyes of Americans. Keep in mind that China** has always maintained a secret posture, integrated into the lives of ordinary people, and left their own color of the years.
Looking back on that period of gunpowder, many spy agencies continued to compete fiercely for interests in China, including the United States and the Soviet Union, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the Japanese puppet. However, I believe you have also noticed that the three ** organizations of the Central Union, the Military Command, and the CCP Special Branch have stood out in this struggle and become the leaders in their respective camps, and their names shine brightly in the long river of history.
Some of these ** are ordinary fathers on the surface, who have enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause, but they cannot confide in their families. For the special workers of the Communist Party of China, political belief is an important criterion for them to become excellent, however, unfortunately, Gu Shunzhang defected to the enemy army prematurely because of the lack of this belief, which led to a serious leakage within the party organization. In contrast, most of the original Kuomintang "spies" were gangster elements engaged in gang assassinations, whose duty was sabotage and assassination, which was obviously different from the mission of the CCP's special department.
Let's talk about the Kuomintang's Military Command Bureau, its leader, Dai Li, is a person with a very good atmosphere, and he is very keen to recruit those talents from the rivers and lakes. He has performed quite well in introducing advanced eavesdropping technology and training** from the United States, but his work ability is not as professional as that of Mao Renfeng in some places. However, it was under the careful cultivation of this Dai Li, Mao Renfeng, Mao Wanli, Mao Sen and other people in Zhejiang gradually rose and became important figures in the military command.
Now, we talk about the fourteen most trusted military command spy elites under Dai Li, who are respectfully known as the "Fourteen Cronies". After special training from the top secret services in China and the United States, they have grown to become the most outstanding spy masters. In fact, Jiang Yiying is also a very good female spy, her wisdom and bravery are admirable!
Let's go back to that astonishing historical moment, in early December 1941, Jiang Yiying successfully cracked the radio code of the Japanese military headquarters, and was able to learn of the major strategic deployment - Japan would raid Pearl Harbor on December 7 of the same year. She immediately reported this information to Dai Li, who then forwarded it to Chiang Kai-shek. Unfortunately, the U.S. authorities at that time did not take this information seriously, and as a result, Pearl Harbor was tragically attacked by the Japanese army, and the innocent U.S. troops suffered a heavy blow. However, in any case, Jiang Yiying's name is firmly engraved in the annals of the People's Republic of China!
In contrast, although the CCP's special science and technology are inferior to the central and military commanders in terms of personnel size, technical equipment, and intelligence means, their extraordinary charm and legendary stories are really impressive. The reason why the Communist Party is unique is because of the group of outstanding talents it possesses.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Yangshan, the leader of the CCP's special department, was the longest-serving person in the CCP's special department, and it was not until September 1935 that the special branch decided to finally disband. And throughout his work, he didn't even know what department he was in! This can also be seen from the degree of discipline of the CCP's ** department.
The CCP's "top three heroes" - Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Beifeng, they have made great achievements on the intelligence front and have far-reaching influence. In particular, Qian Zhuangfei won high praise from his superiors for his capable work ability and honest nature, and was successfully promoted to the Investigation Section of the National Organization Department in 1929.
During Chiang Kai-shek's five large-scale attacks on the CCP's Soviet areas, Qian Zhuangfei bravely stepped forward and provided extremely valuable intelligence support for the Red Army, thus playing a decisive role in the anti-encirclement campaign. Fortunately, in April 1931, Qian Zhuangfei learned the shocking news of Gu Shunzhang's betrayal in advance, so he quickly warned *** and other comrades, so that everyone could be safely transferred and save the party organization in danger.
However, during the Long March, Qian Zhuangfei died heroically, which can indeed be called a great loss for the CCP. But it is also under the guidance and help of Qian Zhuangfei that the rising star Li Kenong gradually grew up and achieved proud results, becoming the "first king" of New China, and is known as the only general in the national army who has never participated in a battle.
