He was given the cruelest mission of all: ordered to become corrupt and live as a true traitor to his country.
In 1940, during the darkest days of the War of Resistance, a top-secret order was placed before agent Tang Mingzhi in Chongqing.
Mission codename: "Corruption." He was to defect publicly, infiltrate the heart of the Wang Jingwei puppet regime, and play the part of a degenerate general, consumed by pleasure and sapped of all resolve.
From that day on, the once-passionate soldier became a "traitor" carousing night after night in Shanghai.
He had to pave his way with gold bars and make friends over fine wine, laughing and joking at banquets with collaborators and Japanese invaders, all while nailing his own name to history's pillar of shame.
He walked a knife's edge between three sides:
The puppet regime's ringleader saw him as a kindred spirit and entrusted him with the campaign to pacify the countryside and suppress the Communists.
High-ranking Japanese officers treated him as a "confidant" and, in their drunken boasts, let slip secrets that could turn the tide of the Pacific War.
His old comrades in Chongqing denounced him as a "traitor to the nation," and his name appeared in bold on the Juntong assassination list.
Only Dai Li knew that every seemingly genuine act of corruption was a dagger aimed at the enemy, and every absurd performance was a solo dance on the edge of the abyss. He turned the puppet regime's third-ranking figure, used the Japanese to poison a secret police chief, and paved an unknown road to victory with a "lavish" masquerade ball.
But when he played his part so well that he began to despise the person in the mirror, could he still remember the oath he had made?
When even his closest comrades point their guns at him, where will a victory bought with his good name lead?
Title: The most unjust "traitor" in history! He was ordered to corrupt for four years and saved 100,000 soldiers. After the victory, he was imprisoned and shackled. Introduction: If after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you are reviled by the whole country as the "number one traitor", humiliated by your former comrades, and tortured in prison - and all your achievements will become a secret that can never be told as the only insider dies in a plane crash. What would you choose? Main story line: Tang Shengming, a Huangpu elite and general, received a secret order from Chiang Kai-shek in 1940: "You must become a traitor. Be the most corrupt and depraved, and make everyone wish you were dead." As a result, he became the most arrogant general of the Wang puppet regime: - Became brothers with Zhou Fohai, and used a game of chess in the secret room to instigate the traitor - Exchange cups with Li Shiqun, and send him on his way with a glass of poisonous wine at the banquet - "Appreciate calligraphy and painting" with a Japanese naval officer and extract information that changed the situation of the Battle of Midway Island - In order to cover up the report, he made up a fictional beauty named "Bai Die", but was almost discovered by No. 76 During the day, he was the drunken "Commander Tang", and at night, he was the "Qingshi" who sent reports to Chongqing. After four years of lurking, the information he delivered may have saved 100,000 lives, but every credit he received pushed him deeper into being branded a "traitor." High energy highlights: 1. The ultimate tearing of identity: Watch how an upright soldier acts as a corrupt traitor. Every time he smiles and raises a glass, the blade licks blood. 2. Famous battle of wits scenes: killing someone with a borrowed knife at a banquet, extreme humiliation and humiliation in a prison cell 3. Husband and wife spy: Acting with celebrity wife Xu Lai to protect the last warmth and bottom line in the enemy camp 4. Historical truth: Based on Tang Shengming's real experience, it reveals the most tragic sacrifice on the hidden front—the eternal death penalty of honor. Why you must see: - This is not cool literature, it is painful literature: when you save the country, the country nails you to the pillar of shame. - This is not a spy war, it is an experiment on human nature: in the extreme darkness, how sober does a person have to be to not really fall? - There is a slap from history here: among the "traitors" who were spurned after the war, how many are nameless people who can no longer prove themselves? The ultimate torture: If one day, you need to sacrifice your reputation, family affection, dignity, and even be reviled by millions of people after death - just to complete a task that is destined to be unknown to no one. Do you dare to accept it? Tang Shengming answered. "Corruption by Order" takes you into the most painful medal of a hero.
