Dai Kasa, a prominent figure in the Republic of China period, is very legendary, he has long been engaged in secret agent and spy work, is the leader of the military command, and although he died early because of a plane crash, the matter before his death has still become the talk of people after dinner.
Dai Kasa's life was closely linked to the military command, and he was famous because of the military command, and the military command also became the largest secret agent and intelligence agency in China at that time under his leadership, which can be said to be mutual achievements. However, although Dai Kasa was the de facto leader of the Military Command, he was not the highest-ranking official in the Military Command Bureau, because he was only the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau.
In the spring of 1938, when the Japanese army was fiercely offensive and aggressive in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, chiang Kai-shek took the lead in preventing Japanese spies and traitors, improving work efficiency, and enhancing the strength of the War of Resistance, and decided to reorganize the original Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government and expand it into three open secret service organizations to stop Japanese spies and traitors. Of the three open secret service organizations, one is the Central Command, one is called the Special Inspection Office (in charge of post and telecommunications inspection), and the other is the Military Command.
After the establishment of the military command, Dai Kasa served as deputy director, and the chief director was Chen Lifu. Then, as a red man in front of Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Kasa was extremely good at engaging in the work of secret agents and spies, so why did Chiang Kai-shek only let him serve as a deputy director and be subject to people?
It is reasonable to say that with Dai Kasa's ability, it is also reasonable to give him the post of bureau chief, but Chiang Kai-shek, considering that Dai's seniority in the Kuomintang is too shallow and his rank among Huangpu students is also low (the sixth period), let him be the director of the bureau, afraid that he will not be able to serve the public, so he let him serve as the deputy director, and the chief director is Chen Lifu, who is highly senior.
Although Dai Kasa held a deputy post, he relied on his outstanding ability and Chiang Kai-shek's trust and was in the position of the commander of the military unification for a long time. Chen Lifu's chief of the Military Command, on the other hand, was just a decoration, and Chen Lifu himself was also a wise man, who had long been friends with Chiang Kai-shek and knew Chiang Kai-shek's intentions very well. In addition to boosting morale at the annual April 1st Congress, he never interfered in the affairs of the Military Command Bureau. Therefore, when Dai Kasa became a prominent figure in the Republic of China because of the military command, people rarely knew that the Military Command Bureau and Chen Lifu were such a full director.
The meaning of the title of this article is not that Chen Lifu himself is little known, but that chen Lifu has served as the director of the Military Command Bureau is little known. In fact, Chen Lifu was the representative of the Chen family among the four families that controlled the political and economic lifeline of China in the first half of the 20th century, and he held a very high position in the Kuomintang party, successively serving as Chiang Kai-shek's confidential secretary, secretary general of the Kuomintang, minister of education, and other important positions, and made outstanding contributions to the development of China's educational undertakings during the war.
Chen Lifu, who served as the director of the Military Command Bureau and held a higher position than Dai Kasa in the Military Command Bureau, ended up much better than Dai Kasa. In his later years, he vigorously promoted cross-strait exchanges and put forward the "theory of the unification of Chinese culture," which received positive responses on both sides of the strait. In 2001, Chen Lifu died in Taichung at the age of 101.
