The meeting room was very quiet.
The group of bigwigs and Liu Kai, the little Karami, sat down together again.
It was also the first time Liu Kai had ever tasted what a cigarette personally handed out by the General Secretary tasted like.
Qiu Xingzhou tapped the wooden armrest of the sofa with his left hand, making a crisp "click" sound.
He glanced at the silent commanders.
I reckon they've pretty much digested what I just said about the "Destiny" family's secrets.
He then tossed away his cigarette butt, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, feel free to speak your mind."
Seeing that everyone else remained silent.
Chang Chengxin, the youngest of the senior officers and commander of the Central Theater Command, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Excuse me, Secretary Qiu, may I ask a question first?"
"ask."
Chang Chengxin bit his upper lip, took a deep breath, and steeled his resolve.
"Secretary Qiu, are you sure the Feng family really didn't know we were listening in on the call just now?"
Before Qiu Xingzhou could answer, he continued, "Yes! I know this communication system is very secure, but as you said, those family infiltrations are everywhere."
"What if the system developers have a backup plan..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xingzhou waved his hand.
A smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "Don't worry, Commander Chang, this system was developed by my son."
"ah?"
Chang Chengxin blushed and said with an embarrassed smile, "I see, then of course there's no problem."
"However, Secretary Qiu, what about our stand-in plan...?"
The so-called stand-in is a bionic AI robot.
While Liu Kai was on the phone with Kazami Kawa, the stunt doubles of several big shots were making their moves in public.
Provide alibis for these bigwigs.
And all of this is thanks to Liu Kai for killing the fake Ouyang Zhicheng in Japan.
The robot's head is of great research value.
The new AI programming makes the interactive response completely comparable to that of a real person, and the double will not be exposed in a short period of time.
Qiu Xingzhou waved his hand again, his smile widening: "Those surrogate androids were made by my daughter."
This answer made Chang Chengxin even more embarrassed.
The other four commanders also had a slight upturn at the corners of their mouths, clearly watching the spectacle with amusement.
Qiu Xingzhou glanced at them helplessly.
“You old guys are quite composed. You clearly wanted to ask, but you just wouldn’t, and you insisted on letting Commander Chang, who is a junior, take the lead for you.”
No one seemed to care about Qiu Xingzhou's joke.
The most important thing right now is that they have confirmed that the Feng family probably did not expect that his conversation with Liu Kai was being eavesdropped on.
The atmosphere in the reception room immediately became lively.
Everyone started to express their opinions, one after another.
"Hmph, the Feng family is simply outrageous; they've overstepped their bounds."
"These arrogant people are very confident. They even want to support a puppet to be the General Secretary. Dream on."
"As expected, a grasshopper in autumn can't jump around for long. It's ridiculous that they're so desperate and rely on so-called divination to seek out Consultant Liu."
Seeing that everyone was criticizing him without getting to the point, Qiu Xingzhou tapped the armrest again.
"There's no need to say any more of this. Let's discuss a solution."
This time, Chang Chengxin was not allowed to be the first to stick his neck out.
Shen Shiwei looked at Qiu Xingzhou with a smile on his face.
"Secretary Qiu called us all over before the conversation, so he must have guessed the general content of the conversation and had a plan, right?"
Qiu Xingzhou smiled and did not deny it.
No one could avoid the topic any longer, and everyone shared their thoughts.
Liu Kai was the only one who remained silent.
He was carefully considering the terms of the deal proposed by the Feng family.
Just as Qiu Xingzhou had initially guessed, the powerful Feng family was on the verge of desperate measures.
Or rather, all the "destined" families have reached this point.
The reason these families wield such power is multifaceted.
For example, they are incredibly wealthy, or they possess advanced technologies.
But the two most important points are:
First, the crystals endowed them with mysterious abilities;
Secondly, through years of dedicated effort, they have cultivated a complex network of relationships and connections, exerting a considerable influence on the social situation.
But now the Earth has been struck by a natural disaster, and humanity is reduced to less than three out of every hundred.
Thanks to the government's efforts, the country's military system remains intact.
However, the networks and connections of these "destined" families suffered a devastating blow.
It was as if one of his two thick legs had been forcibly cut off.
The Feng family was naturally eager to find another powerful backer for themselves.
Given the current situation, the most suitable "big leg" is military force.
The prospect of them firmly grasping China's military power would be simply too wonderful!
This insane idea would have been unthinkable for them before the apocalypse.
Because they cannot get nearly a million soldiers and officers across the country to pledge allegiance to the Feng family.
But now, thanks to the population decline.
Even before the apocalypse, the government was pushing forward with the idea of "unmanned weaponry".
After the apocalypse, the number of soldiers will inevitably decrease sharply, coupled with the rapid advancement of AI technology.
The government has made "unmanned weaponry" a major development goal.
The Feng family naturally set their sights on gaining control of these unmanned weapons.
So they came up with an idea that Liu Kai found extremely crazy!
With the recent downfall of Liu Yonggang, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the recent death of the minister due to old age and illness, the situation has become more complex.
