On October 10, 1945, after 43 days of negotiations, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party finally reached the "Double Tenth Agreement", which was clearly stipulated in the agreement
"To abolish the secret service"
The Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government led by Dai Kasa is one of them.
As soon as this news came out, Dai Kasa felt an unprecedented crisis.
In fact, since the establishment of the Military Command Bureau of the National Government, it has been opposed by people from all walks of life in society. In 1932, Soong Ching Ling and others formed the Chinese Civil Rights Protection League to severely oppose the acts of secret agents, and the secret service organization that acted as Chiang Kai-shek's eagle dog was the first target of opposition.
In the following decades, Dai Kasa, as the head of the Nationalist military command, ordered the arrest and assassination of many ethnic progressives, and the call for the abolition of secret service organizations in society became louder and louder.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, with the gradual weakening of the functions of the Military Command Bureau, Dai Kasa and his secret service organization became rats crossing the street, and everyone saw people beating them.
Therefore, a secret service leader in the northeast region of the military command said to Dai Kasa:
"Boss, if you really can't do it, you can go abroad to avoid it, and when this gust of wind has passed, you will make a comeback."
Dai Kasa looked at the military command he had created with his own hands and developed it to the scale of as many as 100,000 people, and if he gave up now, he would really be unwilling. And according to the situation at that time, once he gave up military command, he had almost nothing.
To the suggestion made by the head of the secret service, Dai Kasa just smiled and replied:
"It's worth considering, but there's no need to talk nonsense."
It didn't take long for Dai Kasa to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds for himself and the 100,000 men and horses of the military command.
At this time, the United States promised to help the Nationalists build a naval force and provide a number of ships.
For this great news, Dai Kasa began to calculate in his heart:
"If he can assume the position of commander-in-chief of the Navy, then the problem of the placement of 100,000 people and horses in the military command can be solved."
To this end, Dai Kasa rushed from Shanghai to Beiping and met with Admiral Kirk, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, in an attempt to win Kirk over. Dai Kasa also specially organized a grand cocktail dance in Beiping, and invited many local celebrities and english-speaking dance partners.
For men who came to the ball, Dai Kasa stipulated that all those who had military ranks must wear military uniforms and wear medals.
At that time, Kirk was a general in the US army, and in order to form a formal equivalence with Kirk, Dai Kasa made an article on the wearing of the collar badge and badge of the military uniform.
Dai Kasa, Kirk
Dai Kasa called his aide-de-camp Jia Jinnan and said to him:
"You help me find a few badges, or ask Ma Hansan (director of the Beiping Office of the Military Command Bureau) to borrow a few, and I hang a large row of badges on my chest, and the Americans can't understand it anyway."
Jia Jinnan replied:
"I don't need to look for Mahan Mountain, there are ones for sale on the street, I will go to the street to buy a few rows and it will be finished."
On the day of the dance, Dai Kasa specially put on a very formal military uniform, and hung several rows of fake badges on his chest. However, Kirk was not only an hour late, but also did not stay long at the prom before claiming to have left early.
Although Dai Kasa's heart was very uncomfortable, in order to be able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army, he chose to continue to woo General Kirk.
During Kirk's stay in Beiping, Dai Kasa personally accompanied him on a tour of The Scenic Spots in Beiping. The trick worked, and Kirk promised to support him as commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Navy.
Agent of the Military Command
What Dai Kasa did not expect was that the aircraft carriers and cruisers that the Americans had promised to provide to the Kuomintang before did not get the permission of the US Congress, and these large ships were not given, but were given to some small ships such as speedboats and frigates, which was greatly reduced than the aid plan agreed in advance.
Dai Kasa was disappointed by this, and he tried his best to seduce Kirk, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, but the Americans temporarily repented.
But think about it in turn, having a position as commander-in-chief of the Navy is better than nothing. In order to continue to negotiate cooperation between the Chinese and American navies, Dai Kasa decided to meet again with Kirk, who was already in Qingdao at the time.
Just as Dai Kasa was preparing to fly to Qingdao, he suddenly received a telegram from Mao Renfeng, a secret agent of the military command:
"Chairman Jiang asked you to immediately return to Chongqing and attend the meeting of the group of eight."
Mao Ren Feng
However, at the end of this telegram, Mao Renfeng specifically noted:
"Chongqing Xuan Tiewu, Li Shizhen, and Huang Zhenwu are mischief-mongering, beware of disasters, and personally present the restoration."
As early as when Dai Kasa was in charge of the anti-rape reception activities, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to expand his strength, he deliberately let the military command personnel seize the key departments, especially the police station, and this behavior caused Chiang Kai-shek's dissatisfaction.
In response to Dai's momentum of expanding power, Chiang Kai-shek set up a five-member group to monitor Dai and study strategies to suppress the Bureau of Military Command.
In March 1946, the Kuomintang held the Second Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, and Chiang Kai-shek complied with the people of the whole country
"Demanding the elimination of secret service organizations"
The situation expanded the five-person team into an eight-member group, and the members of the eight-person team were all from special agents, spy staff, police and other agencies.
Chiang Kai-shek
Mao Renfeng's note behind the telegram was that Xuan Tiewu, Li Shizhen, and Huang Zhenwu were all in a group of eight, and the three of them served in the Kuomintang as the chief of the Shanghai Municipal Police, the chief of education of the Central Police Academy, and the director of the Nanjing Police Department.
Dai Kasa wanted to expand his power into the police station and re-establish a new police system, so as to control and achieve the purpose of controlling the police station. In this way, a part of the military command bureau can be transferred to the police station to digest his 100,000 military commanders.
I have to say, Dai Kasa's this
"Pedal two boats"
The plan is indeed clever.
On the one hand, he co-opted Admiral Kirk and tried to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Navy. On the other hand, he planned to re-establish the Kuomintang police system and make himself the first in command.
However, at this time, Dai Kasa was busy with the matter of contacting the US side to establish a navy, and he carefully planned it himself
"Rebuilding the Police Station"
Before the plan could be reported to Chiang Kai-shek, it was preempted by Li Shizhen and others.
Li Shizhen
This time, Chiang Kai-shek urgently sent a telegram ordering Dai Kasa to return to Chongqing, precisely to discuss this matter.
Therefore, Dai Kasa asked his agent Wen Qiang to prepare a telegram for himself and send it to Chiang Kai-shek:
"The clouds are in sight, and the only order is obeyed." Boiled beans are boiled and fried. Take effect loyal to the throne, dare to cloud without a single thought, have no choice but to be loyal, risk death to make statements, and beg for scrutiny. Raw Dai Kasa. ”
From the words of this telegram, it can be seen that Dai Kasa was extremely indignant at his political opponents, but he finally decided to put it on hold for the time being, and instead of rushing back to Chongqing immediately, he continued to Qingdao.
Dai Kasa dared to disobey Chiang Kai-shek's orders and insisted on going to Qingdao for two reasons:
Kirk was in Qingdao, and Dai was going to discuss with him how the Chinese and American navies would unite. Then, he wanted to discuss this matter with the Us side again through the opportunity of a military delegation headed by He Yingqin to visit the United States.
Another purpose of Dai Kasa's coming to Qingdao was to have a personal matter to do. He wanted to transfer from Qingdao to Shanghai to do Pan Yousheng's work, so that Pan Yousheng could seize the time to go through divorce procedures with the movie queen Hu Die, so that he could marry Hu Die.
Hu Butterfly
Even at the most critical juncture in politics, Dai Kasa still remembered to marry Hu Die, which was indeed incomprehensible.
As early as when Dai Kasa was on the beach, he had a love for Hu Die, and he would almost watch every performance of Hu Die.
In 1944, Dai Kasa, who was already the director of the Military Command, used various methods to coerce Hu Die to live with him, and the idea of marrying Hu Die in the future became a major wish in Dai Kasa's heart.
On March 17, 1946, after Dai Kasa and Admiral Kirk had discussed sino-US naval cooperation, he took a special plane from Qingdao to Shanghai.
At about 13:00 p.m., the special plane on which Dai Kasa was riding suddenly interrupted. Three hours later, Mao Renfeng of the Chongqing headquarters of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau still did not receive the news of Dai Kasa's successful arrival in Shanghai, so he urgently ordered agents from Qingdao, Jinan, Tianjin, and other places of military command to inquire about Dai Kasa's whereabouts.
The secret agents of the military command in various places inquired about it all night, but still did not find the whereabouts of Dai Kasa.
At dawn the next day, Mao Renfeng reported to Chiang Kai-shek:
"Dai Kasa is missing."
Chiang Kai-shek was very anxious to hear this news, and he said to Mao Renfeng:
"Did Dai Kasa land the plane in the Communist-occupied areas?" If that's the case, it's over, because he knows too many secrets. ”
Chiang Kai-shek immediately issued an order to send several planes to search along the way, and in order to prevent Dai Kasa from falling into the hands of the Communists, he also asked the Military Command Bureau to send a general-level agent to search by plane over the Communist areas where they might land.
Mao Renfeng returned to the Military Command Bureau, urgently summoned all the agents of the rank of major general, and said to them:
"Now we need to send a plane, and a major-general-level figure will rescue this Boss Dai and see who goes?" If Boss Dai is really in the hands of the Communist Party, and you hold the warrant written by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, they will not dare to hurt you. ”
Intoxicated
Although Mao Renfeng stressed that there was no danger in parachuting into the communist-occupied areas, no one dared to come forward.
Just when Mao Renfeng was in a hurry, Shen Drunk, one of the "four major killers" of the military command, said:
"Since everyone is not going, I will go."
Mao Renfeng was extremely excited, and immediately went to see Chiang Kai-shek with his drunkenness.
Chiang Kai-shek asked Shen Drunk:
"Will you skydive?"
Shen Drunken replied:
"I don't skydive."
A person who can't parachute dares to save your boss, and Chiang Kai-shek was also touched at this time, so he said to Shen Drunk:
"You still go to Nanjing Airport to train, even if you jump an afternoon umbrella, learn first, so that you can better rescue your boss." 」
However, before Shen Drunken learned to parachute, at 23:00 that night, the Kuomintang Aviation Committee sent a report to Chiang Kai-shek:
"Dai Kasa crashed in Nanjing, and no one on board survived."
The plane that Dai Kasa was riding on burned for a day and a night, and several people on the plane were also burned to pieces, and a generation of tyrants Dai Kasa died in the sleepy rain ditch of Daishan Mountain.
After Dai Kasa's plane crash, Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to transport his body to the Zhigong Hall next to the Linggu Temple of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, and obtained a Nanmu coffin and temporarily shelved it here.
Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling
Later, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling also personally went to the Linggu Temple to choose a burial site for Dai Kasa.
On March 28, 1946, Chiang Kai-shek downsized the military command secret service stations that Dai Kasa had set up throughout China, and suddenly reduced the number of military command agents to just over 10,000 people.
Although the Military Command Bureau was downsized by Chiang Kai-shek, it was retained, and after Dai Kasa's death, the Military Command Road was leaderless, and it also became the beginning of a struggle among the personnel of the Military Command Bureau.
In order to seize the supreme power of the Military Command Bureau, Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jiemin launched a fierce competition.
Zheng Jiemin
In this struggle, Zheng Jiemin only wanted to use the secret service organization as a springboard to get close to Chiang Kai-shek, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting officials and getting rich. Mao Renfeng, on the other hand, knew that his origin, seniority and social relations were inferior to Zheng Jiemin's, and he only wanted to be the head of the Military Command Bureau.
In September 1947, Zheng Jiemin deliberately held a large banquet at his home to celebrate his 50th birthday, but Mao Renfeng felt:
"This could be a great opportunity to crush Jeong."
Therefore, Mao Renfeng actively wooed Shen Drunk, and Shen Drunk also gave him an idea:
"Summoning all the remnants of the military command to Zheng Jiemin's home."
Shen drunkenly found the families of the people who had died in the Military Command Bureau, and because their lives were quite difficult, they could not even eat, so he took them to the home of Zheng Jiemin, who was hosting a banquet.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he was furious and rebuked Zheng Jiemin:
"So many people in the military command have not yet received a pension at home, but you are hosting a big banquet at home and asking others to ask for money around the door, like something."
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek dismissed Zheng Jiemin, and Mao Renfeng naturally became the director of the Military Command Bureau.
Although Mao Renfeng took over the Military Command Bureau as he wished, due to the struggle between Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng, the internal strength of the Military Command Bureau was greatly weakened, and many experienced veteran military command agents left one after another, some even defected to the Communist Party, and many more became prisoners of the People's Liberation Army after the end of the Liberation War.
In March 1964, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of the Communist Party of China organized the "Amnesty War Criminals in Beijing to Visit and Study All Parts of the Country", which included the last emperor Puyi, the Kuomintang generals Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Fan Hanjie and others, as well as the former ace killer of the Military Command Bureau, Shen Drunk.
Shen Drunken recorded in his memoir "My Thirty Years":
"I had a lot of thoughts in front of Dai Kasa's tomb, and under the education and transformation of the Communist Party, I have long hated Dai Kasa's crimes and the anti-party and anti-people crimes that I used to follow Dai Kasa."
As for the cause of Dai Kasa's death, there have always been different opinions, some people suspect that Chiang Kai-shek secretly killed him, some people speculate that it was the Americans who did it, and even the internal personnel of the Military Command Bureau have been listed as suspects.
But most people think that Dai Kasa's plane crash is not an accidental thing, someone must have done something on Dai Kasa's plane, which caused the plane to crash halfway.
