After a moment of stunned applause, a sense of bewilderment arose in everyone's hearts.
Even if Liu Kai becomes deputy director, what does that have to do with the Fenghai refugee camp?
Knowing everyone's doubts, Yang Hongchang began to explain.
"Although Liu Kai is now the deputy director, he will continue to serve as the special security advisor for the Fenghai City shelter."
"In addition to taking into account many other factors, the Central Committee decided to set up an office in the shelter, where Deputy Director Liu will handle his daily work."
Many factors?
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and their gazes turned to Qin Luofei, revealing a knowing smile.
In fact, if everyone is a little smart, they can also sense something unusual about this decision.
If Liu Kai were truly a legitimate official, how could he not go to Beijing?
After saying this, Yang Hongchang glanced at Zhong Linyu, the old iron tree.
"Chief of Staff Zhong, Deputy Director Liu has a special status. Since he works here, you need to pay more attention to his security."
Zhong Linyu also recovered from the shock he had just experienced.
Upon hearing Yang Hongchang's arrangement, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
But Liu Kai wasn't the one who was happy.
And this means that from today onwards, Feng Yuxiao will be staying here permanently!
Even better news was yet to come.
Yang Hongchang continued, "In view of this situation, Commander Chen of the Theater Command has specially added an armored battalion to the defense of Fenghai City. It will arrive this afternoon and will be under the command of Staff Officer Zhong."
This time, not only Zhong Linyu's eyes lit up, but everyone present's eyes lit up.
Because they all knew that the sea monsters were about to attack.
At this time, the fact that the war zone could spare a battalion of men and equipment would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the pressure of "stockpiling food" in the next step!
As a result, the way everyone looked at Liu Kai was not only friendly, but also filled with gratitude and surprise.
Next, Yang Hongchang handed over a bunch of things to Liu Kai on his behalf.
However, the vast majority of them are medals, awards, certificates, and the like.
These objects, which represent great honor to others, are, to Liu Kai, at least utterly useless, if not unremarkable.
But even in front of so many people, he still accepted it with a look of "honor".
What truly piqued his interest were two small boxes, each the size of a shoebox.
Inside the box were two knives.
Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is made by combining titanium alloy, bainitic steel and certain shape memory metals.
It combines toughness, sharpness, self-sharpening ability, and the ability to repair damage.
The blade is composed of multiple sections and is 1.2 meters long.
When not in use, it can be retracted into the handle for concealment.
Most importantly, this knife can be considered a rudimentary extension of the X01 powered exoskeleton.
When the exoskeleton is powered on, a layer of extremely hot plasma is applied to the blade surface, greatly enhancing its cutting ability.
Liu Kai was greatly shocked!
At the same time, I was very puzzled.
It was understandable that Liu Kai forged the large cleaver back then, after all, he was just a commoner.
Even if you have a gun, you should use it discreetly, which is why it's necessary to develop cold weapons for self-defense.
But for the state apparatus, in this era where firearms reign supreme, why bother researching melee weapons?
Even if this knife is incredibly powerful, advanced, and capable of thermal ion cutting, it's still a cold weapon.
Yang Hongchang's answer left Liu Kai speechless.
These two knives were just something two intern scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences made for fun.
The aim is to verify the feasibility of special materials and thermal ionization, in preparation for a new generation of ultra-deep earth-penetrating missiles.
There are only two of these in the whole country, and they've been sitting in the warehouse collecting dust.
Aside from medals and certificates of honor, the authorities couldn't think of any other rewards for Liu Kai.
So I simply took out the two knives and gave them to him.
Although it lacks practical significance, it can serve as a symbol of honor.
Just like how military academies award swords to their graduates, it's also nice to keep it as a decorative item at home.
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He had one knife in his own hand, and the other was undoubtedly given to Qin Luofei to play with.
After discussing Liu Kai's appointment, Yang Hongchang took the opportunity to personally arrange other matters for the people in the refuge.
The main reasons are the cold wave arriving in 13 days and the expected arrival of ferocious sea monsters on land in 3 days.
Of course, Liu Kai believed that these things had little to do with him and that he was just there to make up the numbers in the meeting room.
So he leaned back in his chair absentmindedly, his mind wandering far away.
When Yang Hongchang talked about resisting the raging sea monsters, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Kai several times.
Although the meaning was clear, Liu Kai was not directly ordered to participate in the battle.
So Liu Kai pretended not to understand, holding the 15th cup of hot tea that Feng Yuxiao had poured for him, and savored it with relish.
I have to say, I never realized tea could taste so good before.
The meeting ended quickly.
The military region had many things to do, so Yang Hongchang didn't linger.
But before leaving, he had a suggestive conversation with Liu Kai.
Liu Kai, of course, maintained an attitude of "politeness, enthusiasm, and feigning ignorance."
He neither revealed what he discussed in Beijing a few days ago, nor did he mention the marine mammal protection campaign.
Yang Hongchang was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard.
Even when Qin Luofei pulled him aside to ask about Feng Yuxiao's identity, he only mumbled that he didn't know.
Yang Hongchang reluctantly boarded the helicopter and left.
Liu Kai then exchanged pleasantries with Ouyang Wenlian and the others.
