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

As soon as Jiang Yifan put down the phone, Xiongchuan Dahui asked:

"Did Zhou Fuhai agree?"

"I agree!" Jiang Yifan looked at Xiongchuan Dahui and nodded in reply.

Hearing this, a hint of envy flashed in Kumakawa Daiki's eyes!

As expected, whoever calls first loses.

After hearing this, Li Qun finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Although I had heard it just now, I still felt a little uneasy. Now hearing Jiang Yifan say it himself, it was like a huge stone in my heart was finally removed, and I felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

"Thank you, Shimahashi-kun!"

Li Qun looked at Jiang Yifan and said gratefully.

These words made Kumagawa Daiki feel unhappy for a moment, but the feeling only passed away for a moment. After all, everything was really thanks to Shinichi Shimabashi, and he had only contributed a little bit of hard work at most.

So, he didn't take this matter to heart.

If you are not as capable as others and have a worse background than others, is it useful to just be jealous?

Do you have this strategy where the first one to call loses?

Thinking of this, Daiki Kumagawa opened his heart and calmed down.

"Let's go! Let's quickly tell General Kurokawa and Commander Henzato Yuise about this so that they can have an idea in advance."

Jiang Yifan looked at Li Qun and Xiongchuan Dahui and said.

"Yeah!"

Li Qun quickly stood up and replied.

"This is also a happy event. Let's go! Let the two officers be happy too!"

As Daiki Kumakawa said this, he stood up and walked out of the office.

"report!"

"Come in!"

Jiang Yifan casually pushed open the door of Kurokawa Masanori's office and walked in.

Daiki Kumagawa and Li Qun followed closely behind.

"Report to General Kurokawa! I have just agreed with Vice Chairman Zhou Fuhai of the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan over the phone that Secretary-General Li Qun will concurrently serve as the Chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. This will be most beneficial to the work of clearing up the countryside. I have come to report to you!"

Jiang Yifan bowed to General Kurokawa and replied.

"Yoshi! You did a great job! This is how it should be!"

Kurokawa Masaki looked at Jiang Yifan and said with satisfaction. Then he looked at Li Qun again:

"Secretary Li! This is also the recognition of your previous work by the Empire of Japan. I hope you will continue to work hard and make greater contributions to the Empire in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Qun immediately stood at attention and bowed to General Kurokawa and replied:

"Ha Yi! Li Qun will definitely remember General Kurokawa's teachings and serve the empire with all his heart and soul."

"Yoshi! We are both serving the Empire. From now on, you must also work together with Wuhan. Only unity brings strength. Only in this way can we defeat the Chinese army as soon as possible and realize the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

General Kurokawa said something with a hidden meaning, which was both an encouragement to Li Qun and a warning.

Li Qun was shocked when he heard this and said quickly:

"Hayi!"

Next, Jiang Yifan briefly told Kurokawa Masanori that Zhou Fuhai might come to Shanghai again to arrange the specific matters of establishing Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

Then the three of them left the expeditionary army headquarters and came to the office of Commander Bian Li. Jiang Yifan reported the situation, and Bian Li Wei Shi also said happily:

"Yo! Shimahashi did a great job! I was just about to ask about the situation, but then the good news came. Li Qun has worked hard for the empire. We will strongly recommend such talents. I hope Chairman Li Qun will continue to make greater contributions to the empire."

"Ha Yi! Li Qun will definitely serve you wholeheartedly and spare no effort."

Li Qun looked at Wei Shi standing at attention and answered.

Afterwards, the four of them talked and laughed while discussing some other things. At noon, Li Qun hosted a banquet for the four of them again.

In the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan, after Zhou Fuhai had a phone call with Jiang Yifan, he immediately reported to Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei actually didn't pay much attention to this matter. He basically left it to Zhou Fuhai to handle alone, so he naturally didn't raise any objections.

Zhou Fuhai then reported the matter to the Japanese cabinet.

The Japanese cabinet is even less concerned about such personnel appointments; they only care about the results.

Therefore, it was approved that Li Qun would concurrently serve as the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Thus, the preparations for the establishment of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provincial governments began.

For the convenience of management, the provincial government was established in Suzhou, which had been captured by Japan.

Li Qun will concurrently serve as the chairman, and Fan Wenhai, who was already the chairman, will serve as the vice chairman!

Just from this relationship, Jiang Yifan knew how complicated and contradictory the so-called personnel relations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were.

In order to stabilize the situation, Li Qun moved his family to Suzhou and left his old nest at No. 76.

No. 76 will be temporarily managed by He Tianfeng.

Sometimes, Li Qun had to travel between Shanghai and Suzhou, which to some extent increased the insecurity of the journey, which was undoubtedly fatal to Li Qun.

Over time, Li Qun settled in Suzhou and began to remotely control Shanghai No. 76.

The reason why he is trying so hard to become the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is nothing more than for money and power.

Now that he has achieved his wish, with Li Qun's means, it will be of no avail even if Vice Chairman Fan Wenhai stands in his way.

Although Fan Wenhai had Chou Fuhai's support behind him, he was still defeated miserably by Li Qun after a few rounds.

Almost all power was controlled by Li Qun alone.

Thus, his dream finally came true and he became the real emperor of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

The number of armed forces under his command has exceeded 30,000, and they are spread across Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This made Zhou Fuhai very angry and he was also very dissatisfied with Fan Wenhai.

However, Fan Wenhai was no match for Li Qun at all, and gradually he went from being a confrontational opponent to being submissive.

Therefore, the situation in which Li Qun had absolute control over Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces could no longer be changed.

Li Qun, who was used to living like an emperor and doing his own thing amid flattery every day, was even more reluctant to return to Shanghai and kowtow to the Japanese and act like a grandson.

This mentality also made his relationship with Shanghai more distant.

Due to the further stalemate in the Sino-Japanese War, the consumption of various materials also increased greatly.

Food, in particular, has once again become the focus.

The original food supply was controlled by the Cleanup Committee, so the expeditionary force basically did not have to worry about food problems.

Now, due to the reform, all material supplies, including food, are centrally supplied by the Wang Puppet Government, and the Expeditionary Force has lost the initiative.

On the one hand, due to years of war, the common people did not have much food. In addition, people like Li Qun, including Zhou Fuhai, hoarded and resold food, causing the price of food to become higher and higher. The key point was that there was no food to buy or sell in the market.

Shanghai used to be the material supply base for the whole of China, but now it has become a place where materials are urgently needed.

Food prices are alarmingly high, but the key is that there is no demand for them!

Shanghai has once again fallen into a food crisis!
