The Japanese officers did not speak, which made Fukuda Mingwu very annoyed and even more angry.
But he had just arrived and didn't have many confidants at all. If he wanted to do anything, he had to rely on these people.
"Gentlemen, you are all the elites of the empire. Isn't there anything you can do?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Fukuda Mingwu's tone, and there was also a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at the officers.
After all, Japanese people have a very special personality. When they can use you, they will definitely treat you with courtesy. If they don't use you, they will immediately become ruthless.
The same is true for Fukuda Akitake. His polite behavior just now was just to win people's hearts. Now that no one is giving him any advice, he naturally expresses his dissatisfaction.
As soon as Fukuda Akitake finished speaking, the Japanese officers in the office frowned and exchanged glances with each other.
Finally, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel responded: "Your Excellency General, Li Yunsheng, the military commander, is really difficult to deal with. When General Tanaka was alive, he tried many methods but failed to eliminate him, so this matter can only be discussed in the long term."
"Baga!"
Fukuda Akitake became popular immediately. After all, he had just arrived in Tianjin and had not yet secured his position, so he urgently needed to make results.
Therefore, he could not accept the proposal of the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel. After all, it was a delaying strategy.
Seeing Fukuda Akitake getting angry, the Japanese officers in the office lowered their heads again, but still did not speak.
It's not that these officers had nothing to do, it was just that their abilities were average and they were intimidated by Li Yunsheng, so they didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of getting into trouble.
The reaction of these officers made Fukuda Mingwu even more angry, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
After carefully looking at the expressions of these officers, Fukuda Mingwu suddenly discovered that one of the majors looked in a trance, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ikeda-kun, what are you thinking about? Do you have any ideas?"
Since no one spoke, Fukuda Mingwu had no choice but to call his name, and then turned his attention to the dazed Major.
The major was none other than David Ikeda. It was not that he had any ideas, but that after the military rebellion happened, he was very worried. After all, he had already guessed that Li Yunsheng was responsible for this matter.
Originally, David Ikeda didn't know Li Yunsheng's identity, but he was not an idiot. After this publicity, he naturally guessed something.
Therefore, David Ikeda has always been worried. Even during this meeting, he was still on edge, fearing that he would be exposed.
This is also because the military turmoil has caused too much trouble, and David Ikeda has had too much contact with Li Yunsheng recently, so he is very afraid of being suspected.
"Your Excellency General, I am thinking about how to deal with the military commander!"
Fukuda Akitake's sudden roll call shocked David Ikeda. His first thought was that he had been exposed.
But after calming down, he felt that he was overthinking it. After all, if he was exposed, Fukuda Akitake would not notify him of a meeting, but would directly ask the military police to come to his door.
David Ikeda also experienced some storms, especially when he was forced to surrender by Li Yunsheng, and he gained a bit more courage, so after reacting, he immediately returned to normal.
"Then what do you think?"
Fukuda Mingwu continued to ask. After all, he urgently needed someone to give him an idea, even if it was not a very good idea.
"Incompetent and incompetent, I haven't thought of anything yet!"
David Ikeda responded immediately, but his expression was slightly embarrassed, and there was a hint of guilt on his face.
This kind of performance of David Ikeda made Fukuda Akio feel a little strange, so he looked at David Ikeda with a scrutinizing gaze.
It's not that Fukuda Akitake doubted David Ikeda. After all, he was a Japanese and a Japanese mid-level military officer, so he would not be suspected easily.
It's just that David Ikeda's performance made Fukuda Akio feel that the other party might know something.
"If you have any ideas, you can report to me at any time."
Fukuda Akitake did not continue to ask questions. After all, he had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation. He also did not know David Ikeda's personality. He was afraid of making things worse.
Fukuda Akitake's words made David Ikeda feel relieved. He was really worried about what the other party would see.
David Ikeda did not answer, and Fukuda Akitake could only turn his attention to the others and began to name them one by one.
But these Japanese officers really didn't have any good ideas, and they didn't dare to come up with random ideas, so they could only keep trying to shirk the situation.
In the end, Fukuda Akitake had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the meeting and leave the office angrily.
This is because Fukuda Akitake has been on the bench for too long and does not have capable personnel, otherwise these officers will definitely be replaced.
After the meeting, David Ikeda returned to his office, but he suddenly received a meeting signal from Li Yunsheng and couldn't help but feel nervous.
The current situation makes David Ikeda very worried, so he does not want to meet Li Yunsheng.
But the meeting signal was sent out, and David Ikeda didn't dare not go. He could only sigh, secretly hoping that nothing would happen, let alone any trouble.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Li Yunsheng and David Ikeda met at the agreed place.
However, during this meeting, David Ikeda was very careful. Not only was he not wearing a military uniform, he also had a hat on his head.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
When he saw David Ikeda's face, Li Yunsheng frowned and then asked.
"Sir, our people are trying their best to find you. I was worried about being noticed, so I dressed up like this!"
David Ikeda responded immediately, with a bit of nervousness in his tone. While speaking, he kept looking around.
What David Ikeda said did not surprise Li Yunsheng. After all, after such a big move, the Japanese would definitely try their best to find clues about their side.
In the past, the Japanese would have been a little confused, and they might not have been able to understand all the circumstances of the matter. However, the propaganda of the Nationalist Government undoubtedly gave the Japanese the answer, allowing them to understand who the enemy was and the inside story of the military rebellion.
.
Although this situation will make Li Yunsheng's situation even worse, the benefits are real, otherwise a few confidants would not be easily promoted.
"What is Fukuda Akitake's plan!"
Now that he knew that the Japanese would deal with him, Li Yunsheng naturally wanted to know the enemy's plan, and that's why he wanted to meet David Ikeda.
This was also the time when the martial law was lifted. Li Yunsheng felt that the news was not so tight, so he came in person.
"Sir, General Futian doesn't have any plans. The reason for the meeting is to brainstorm ways to deal with you..."
David Ikeda answered simply and went over the contents of the meeting, focusing on the roll call.
What David Ikeda meant was to remind Li Yunsheng that after all, Fukuda Akitake's approach was to regard the military commander as the number one enemy.
David Ikeda also had a small thought, because he felt that if Li Yunsheng knew the news, he would definitely not have frequent contact with him. In this way, he would be much safer.
David Ikeda's little thoughts were not hidden from Li Yunsheng, but he did not pay attention. Instead, he had an idea to use this opportunity to make David Ikeda become Fukuda Akitake's confidant.
Although this idea is a bit difficult and a bit fanciful, once it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.
Even the situation of the entire military command will be greatly improved as a result, so Li Yunsheng immediately thought about what to do to achieve this...
