Although Bian Li Weishi gave up the pursuit of Xiao Zhensheng, it does not mean that he completely trusts Jiang Yifan in his heart.

You know, Commander Sato Ichiro died at the hands of Shimahashi Shinichi, so as his successor, he still has to be on guard and dare not take it lightly.

If it weren't for the sudden problem of food, he would definitely have secretly screened Jiang Yifan again.

With his intuition, he has already felt that the calmness in Shanghai is an abnormal calmness. Such a large Japanese presence in a political center of China has no espionage activities. Is this normal?

This is clearly a sign that the entire Shanghai has been secretly controlled by someone!

He even suspected that the sudden big problem with food supply was caused by someone secretly manipulating it!

So he had to start with the food supply and find out what exactly caused the current food famine.

Not only was Henri Yuise keeping a close eye on the food, but Kurokawa Masanori was also keeping a close eye on the food!

He called the military headquarters twice in one day, asking when the food allocated to Shanghai by the expeditionary force would be replenished.

If you don't mention the special code and make up for it immediately, at least you should take some action, right? If you make up for it a little bit every day, won't it be enough in a few days?

But the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan simply did not take any action.

This made Kurokawa Masanori and Chief of Staff Oyamada Aki very anxious.

You know, the anti-war leaflet incident just happened. If there is another food shortage incident, how can this war be fought?

As the military book says: Before the troops move out, the food and fodder must go first!

But now the troops are already charging into battle. If the food and grass are gone, won’t it be a defeat without even fighting?

So, he called Henri Yuise to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters Office and asked:

“Do you have a solution to Shanghai’s food problem now?”

Upon hearing this, Bian Li Wei Shi was speechless. Even the military headquarters, including the local cabinet, could not solve this problem. How could he, a commander who had just taken office, solve it?

"Report to General Kurokawa! I am also worried about this matter, and there is no solution!"

Bian Li Wei Shi could only answer truthfully.

"Baga! I'll give you ten days to come up with a solution. Otherwise, half of all the food shipped to Shanghai must be allocated to the dispatched army grain depot."

General Kurokawa looked at Yuise Bianli and gave the order.

Bian Li Wei Shi was shocked when he heard this!

The expeditionary force headquarters actually wants to snatch food from me?

But a higher-ranking official can crush a person, and now General Kurokawa is two ranks higher than himself. Although he is higher in rank than Sato Ichiro, being a major general, he still looks inferior in front of General Kurokawa.

He didn't dare to disobey, so he could only stand at attention and answer:

"Hayi!"

Henri Yuise returned to the gendarmerie headquarters and studied the matter carefully again, but still could not find a solution.

In desperation, he picked up the phone and called Li Qun who was far away in Suzhou again.

"Jingle Bell!"

Li Qun was leisurely drinking the fragrant Longjing tea in the office. When he heard the phone ring, he picked up the phone and asked:

"Hello? Who is it?"

"I'm Henri Yuiyo from the Shanghai Military Police Command! I'd like to ask Chairman Li if we can resupply the food that was allocated to Shanghai by the Expeditionary Force as soon as possible?"

Henri Yuise asked into the phone.

When Li Qun heard this, he asked if it could be made up? Of course not!

So Li Qun politely declined:

"Report to Commander Bian Li! You think too highly of me. I am only the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I do not have such great power. This matter is something that can only be decided by the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan and the local cabinet. I really can't do anything!"

When Bian Li Wei Shi heard this, he wanted to throw the phone away. However, even if he threw the phone, wouldn’t the problem still not be solved?

Therefore, Bian Li Wei Shi could only change his bad temper into good temper and continued to ask:

"Couldn't Chairman Li think of a way to make some adjustments? Shanghai and the Expeditionary Force should be the focus of protection right now!"

Li Qun couldn't help but curse inwardly when he heard this. What kind of special protection is this? Do you think I'm a sucker?

Others are desperately trying to make money, and you want me to contribute to Japan?

I can't even say how many days I can stay in China. If I don't take this opportunity to make more money and find a way to escape, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a place to die with my reputation as a traitor.

So Li Qun said without any concern:

"Commander Bianli! I'm so sorry! With the orders from the local cabinet and the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan, I really can't help you! I'm sorry, when I have time to go to Shanghai, I will definitely go to the headquarters and apologize to you!"

Hearing this, Bian Li Wei Shi was so angry that he hung up the phone.

Li Qun also slowly put down the phone, picked up the teacup, and took a sip leisurely, as if nothing had happened.

"Baga! Baga! Baga!"

Bian Liwei was so angry that he started cursing in the office.

But after cursing, I calmed down and thought it was useless! If the problem is not solved, and half of the food supply to Shanghai is diverted by the Expeditionary Force, Shanghai will be in chaos, right?

Wouldn't you be on pins and needles by then?

In desperation, he called the Wang Puppet Government in Wuhan directly. However, after making several calls, the people who answered the phone were all polite and promised to find a way to resolve the problem as soon as possible, but they would not say a specific time or how much would be resolved.

This is Tai Chi! Pass the buck!

After calling for a long time, Mr. Wang could not be found. Zhou Fuhai was on a business trip out of town for investigation and was not in Wuhan.

This made Commander Bian Li slam the phone on the receiver again.

"Baga baga baga baga!"

Bian Liwei was swearing wildly and running around in the office, making the tables and chairs bang loudly.

After he had finished his outburst, he calmed down again, and Kurokawa Masanori's words rang in his ears again:

…Otherwise, half of the grain allocated to Shanghai must go into the military grain depot…

He calmed down again. Isn't this right?

As the commander of the expeditionary force, shouldn't he go to the military headquarters to ask for an explanation?

Why would he give such an order to his subordinate?

Could it be that even the local cabinet is helpless and powerless in the face of the chaos in China?

Thinking of this, Bian Li Wei Shi's heart suddenly felt cold for the first time!

He thought about the world situation, the retreat of the ally Germany, and the slowdown of the Japanese expeditionary force's invasion of China. All these signs showed that...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore!

Although Commander Bian already felt that something was wrong, such a situation would not happen all of a sudden.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

If we don’t solve the current problems, I’m afraid that day will come sooner.

It seems that if the right path doesn't work, then we can only take the wrong path.
