You were asked to keep a low profile and lie low, so you became the chief of a special high-tech dep

"Director Li? Why are you here?" Jiang Yifan looked at Li Qun and asked.

"I am here on the orders of Commander Sato to deliver food to the Japanese Expeditionary Force!"

Li Qun looked at Jiang Yifan and answered truthfully.

"Escorting grain?" Jiang Yifan asked with a little surprise.

He knew that since the Japanese took over the French Concession and the International Settlement, all material supplies had been in extreme shortage.

But unexpectedly, the Japanese Expeditionary Force's food supply began to become tight.

Needless to say, this was the blood and sweat of the farmers who were plundered and squeezed out by Li Qun and Agent No. 76 from the towns and villages around Shanghai.

No wonder Li Qun seemed to have disappeared during this period of time. It turned out that he went to the countryside to collect grain and money and exploit the people.

It seems that the food supply of the Japanese Expeditionary Force is already stretched to the limit.

If we could find out the food reserves of the expeditionary army and destroy their food warehouses, wouldn't that be like cutting off the source of their trouble?

"How much grain was transported today?" Xiongchuan Dahui also looked at Li Qun and asked.

"Five trucks in total, about 25 tons." Li Qun looked at Xiongchuan Dahui and answered respectfully.

No matter what, Kumakawa Daiki is now the acting director. Regardless of whether the word "acting" can be removed in the future, he is still his immediate superior and due respect must be maintained.

"Is this the first batch?" Jiang Yifan asked again.

"Today is the first batch. I'm afraid we will have to escort them frequently in the future." Li Qun told the truth.

"Is there any source of supply?" Daiki Kumakawa asked worriedly.

"There is no ready-made supply in this chaotic time. We have to rob people from their homes. If we don't kill a few people, we won't get a grain of food. I have been working in the countryside for more than ten days and I have barely managed to collect this little bit of food."

In order to show his contribution, Li Qun answered realistically.

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan secretly clenched his fists. He is really a die-hard traitor!

"Then the areas around Shanghai can't raise much food?" Kuikei Rikuto, who had been silent, also stepped forward and asked.

"Who says it's not? But this phenomenon will change soon, because the Imperial Japanese Expeditionary Force is not only facing food problems, but also security issues. I heard that they are preparing to set up a rural cleanup committee, which will not only collect food, but also clean up and strike at anti-Japanese forces hiding in the countryside."

Li Qun looked at Hisaichi Rikuto and said.

"Where did you hear all this?" Xiongchuan Daihui asked Li Qun with a frown.

"Report to Chief Xiongchuan! This is why I came to you to report this matter alone!"

Li Qun looked at Daiki Kumakawa and answered seriously.

Upon hearing this, Kumakawa Daiki was even more puzzled. He, the head of the agency, didn't know about it, but he, the head of the No. 76 spy, knew about it. Isn't this unreasonable?

And he had to report separately? This also made Kumagawa Daiki curious.

"Well, Chief Shimahashi, Captain Kuikei, you guys go around first. I want to talk to Director Li alone."

Kumakawa Daiki looked at Jiang Yifan, Kuikei Rikuto, and Waiike Mitsuki and said, then he took Li Qun and walked towards their office.

Xiongchuan Dahui and Li Qun walked into the office. Li Qun closed the door casually, took out ten large yellow croakers and placed them in front of Xiongchuan Dahui.

Xiongchuan Dahui frowned even more when he saw this, and asked Li Qun:

"Li Qunjun! What are you doing?"

"Director Xiongchuan! You may not know that the Imperial Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters is about to establish a 'Clean-up Committee' with the Wang Puppet Government and sign relevant agreements. I believe that the Shanghai area will also be established soon. So, when the time comes, I will be in charge of this work and serve the Imperial Japanese Empire. I hope Director Xiongchuan will support me."

Li Qun looked at Daiki Kumagawa and spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, Daiki Kumakawa couldn't help but feel emotional!

This is the benefit of being an official!

We just got some news and ten big yellow croakers swam over. What will the situation be like when deciding on the personnel?

"Okay! When the time comes, when we're researching candidates, I'll speak for you."

After saying this, Daiki Kumakawa put the ten large yellow croakers into his desk drawer without any hesitation.

"It's not about when the time comes, but we need to prepare now. Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Li Qun looked at Daiki Kumagawa and said anxiously.

"Didn't we just get the news? How are we preparing?" Daiki Kumagawa asked in confusion.

"You need to keep talking to Commander Sato Ichiro and Commander Matsubara about this matter so that they can have an impression of me in advance. Once the order comes down from above, everything will fall into place."

Li Qun looked at Kumakawa Daiki with great humility and explained.

"I see! Then you should behave yourself well during this period. If you can make achievements, I can speak for you."

Daiki Kumakawa looked at Li Qun and said.

"Thank you, Director Xiongchuan! As far as I know, this Cleanup Committee is not just for the area around Shanghai, it is for the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, and even a larger area. If I am in charge of the Cleanup Committee, and I am under your jurisdiction, then my contribution is also your contribution? How can you be left out of the benefits? In this way, you, a rising star, can not only gain a firm foothold, but also get a lot of benefits. This is the key to removing the word "agent"!"

Li Qun said this from the bottom of his heart.

When Xiongchuan Dahui heard this, his heart was moved, because Li Qun's words hit the nail on the head.

As a human being, who doesn’t want to get promoted and make money?

I became the acting director by chance, but if I do nothing and am replaced by someone else in the future, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Besides, Lieutenant General Inoue Matsushita promoted me to be the acting director, but I haven't thanked him yet. But gratitude cannot be solved with just a few words. It requires real money to express it sincerely.

Although I feel somewhat disgusted with Li Qun in my heart, what Li Qun said is true, it's all driven by interests!

Afterwards, the two of them whispered for a while, and Xiongchuan Dahui looked at Li Qun and said, "Okay! If you have any news in this regard, just tell me in time. Don't worry. I will do my best!"

"Then I'm relieved. If you have nothing to do, I'll leave."

As Li Qun spoke, he opened the office door and walked out.

Jiang Yifan and Kuikei Rikuto walked out of the expeditionary force headquarters side by side, and looked outside at the five trucks full of food parked outside the door. Katsumura Yota was inspecting the vehicles.

Why did Li Qun look for Daiki Kumagawa at this time?

Did something happen in Shanghai again?

Just then, Katsumura Yota, along with several Japanese soldiers, walked up to Jiang Yifan and blocked his way.
