At the same time, Jiang Yifan was called to Commander Songyuan's ward by Sato Ichiro, who announced that the Cleanup Committee had been established and Li Qun was appointed as the Secretary-General of the Cleanup Committee.

Jiang Yifan and Xiongchuan Dahui were not surprised at all, because all this was within their expectations.

On the contrary, it was because of the death of Suda Masaki that Matsubara became the commander-in-chief of the cleansing committee, which really surprised the two.

It seems that the assassination of Masaki Suda and the attack on the convoy were not investigated in Japan at all. Instead, the position of commander-in-chief of the Cleanup Committee, which was originally held by Vice Minister Masaki Suda, was directly handed over to Matsubara.

It seems that Japan needs to suspend its offensive on the front line and concentrate on stabilizing the rear.

As a time traveler, how could Jiang Yifan not know that the Japanese were actually using a delaying tactic?

They had only two goals: one was to secretly negotiate with the Party-State in the hope of forcing the Republic of China to surrender; the other was to consolidate the rear area, including food, politics, commerce, taxation and so on.

"So, you two must strictly supervise all of Director Li's actions. They must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of our Great Japanese Empire and the methods and steps we have established. You must not allow lip service or say one thing and do another. Do you understand?"

Sato Ichiro looked at Jiang Yifan and Kumagawa Daiki and asked.

"understand!"

Jiang Yifan and Xiongchuan Dahui answered in unison.

"So, how big is Li Qun's management scope? What has been added to his authority?"

Jiang Yifan looked at Sato Ichiro and asked.

"That's a good question!" Sato Ichiro looked at Jiang Yifan and said with admiration:

"Next, Li Qun's rights are not limited to No. 76. It can be said that his rights have covered a large area of ​​land in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. His rights involve the collection of grain, the management of commerce in the entire region, the collection of taxes, and the fiscal revenue of the pseudo-government. It can be said that all are included in the scope of Li Qun's rights. Therefore, the scope of your supervision will also be qualitatively improved in the future. So, your work tasks are not easy!"

It is obvious that the content of this clean-up meeting was far beyond Sato Ichiro's expectations.

"At the same time, we will also establish our own political power and organizations in various towns and villages, and establish the Imperial Army under the unified command of our empire. We will also provide them with various training and education, so that they will follow our footsteps wholeheartedly and serve as our cannon fodder to attack the Chinese army. Therefore, this is also an important and far-reaching event."

Commander Songyuan looked at Jiang Yifan and Kumagawa Daiki and said expectantly.

"Then what is our main task?" Daiki Kumagawa asked Matsubara.

"The most important task is to monitor Li Qun and see if he is resolutely implementing the various work plans of our empire. The means is to set up spy organizations in various towns and villages, and check them from top to bottom, and set up defenses everywhere. Once they are found to be half-hearted or trying to do something wrong, they will be immediately stopped by strong measures, or even eliminated."

Song Yuan looked at Jiang Yifan and Xiongchuan Daihui and answered without hesitation.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan and Xiongchuan Dahui answered at the same time after hearing this.

Despite this, the concept of the Cleanup Committee was still not very clear in the minds of the two men, but they did not continue to ask questions. Once they encountered specific problems, they would immediately understand.

Besides, Jiang Yifan's mind is not on studying these issues now. He has been thinking about how to deal with traitors such as Wang Jingwei.

This is a great opportunity. If we can eliminate them all here, it will have an important impact on the direction of the entire Anti-Japanese War.

Jiang Yifan had always hoped to find out the time when Wang Jingwei would leave Shanghai by plane, and then Sato Ichiro ordered again to go to the airport for a major investigation.

This way, he would have time to pass on the information and organize another assassination.

However, what Jiang Yifan never expected was that when Li Qun knocked on the door and reported to Commander Songyuan and Sato Ichiro, the news made Jiang Yifan greatly disappointed.

"Reporting to Commander Sato and Commander Matsubara, Mr. Wang and other senior government officials have left Shanghai on a special plane, escorted by the military police of Agent 76 and Captain Kuikei."

Li Qun looked at Sato Ichiro with high spirits, and Commander Matsubara replied.

"What? Mr. Wang has left Shanghai?" Jiang Yifan couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard it.

Daiki Kumakawa also looked at Li Qun in surprise, wanting to get further confirmation.

However, Sato Ichiro and Matsubara looked calm after hearing this.

"Didn't anything unusual happen on the road?" asked Ichiro Sato.

"Everything went very smoothly! We didn't encounter any abnormal phenomena!" Li Qun answered truthfully.

When Jiang Yifan heard this, he knew that this had already been discussed before, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Then you should stay in the hospital for the next few days and take good care of Secretary Kitahara Sosuke. Don't let anything happen to him. If his health permits, complete the details of the work system and regulations of the Cleanup Committee as soon as possible so that they can be implemented in detail in the future. I also have to rush back to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, so I won't stay here any longer."

After Commander Matsubara finished speaking, he stood up, shook hands with Sato Ichiro, and walked outside.

"Chief Shimahashi, you and Captain Kuikei, take Commander Matsubara to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters safely."

Sato Ichiro looked at Jiang Yifan and gave the order.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan responded and followed Commander Songyuan downstairs.

Captain Kuichi personally sat on a three-wheeled motorcycle and led the way, while Commander Songyuan sat on Jiang Yifan's car and followed behind. More than 20 three-wheeled vehicles, with a large crowd in front and behind, headed towards the north of Shanghai.

All the military police held their guns tightly in their hands, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Especially for Hisaichi Rikuto, his nerves were extremely tense.

Even Commander Songyuan was sitting in the car with a look of alert on his face.

Jiang Yifan was not nervous, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to be on full alert and said nothing.

Especially when they got near the grove, everyone became more nervous.

Just at this moment, a group of three-wheeled motorcycles came roaring from the front.

This is the expeditionary force headquarters. Colonel Aso and his men are here to pick up Commander Matsubara.

Seeing this scene, Song Yuan finally felt relieved.

There was no conversation along the way. After safely sending Commander Matsubara to the expeditionary force headquarters, Jiang Yifan and Kuikei Rikuto returned to the hospital without stopping.

However, right at the hospital gate, Jiang Yifan saw a familiar figure again.
