Gustav was safely transported to the Nile crocodile conservation centre in Egypt.

Liu Wei and the scientific expedition team also let go of their worries.

Unexpectedly, Burundian President Evaris summoned the scientific expedition team involved in the capture mission, and specifically mentioned Liu Wei.

Liu Wei went to the presidential palace with Patters and Ellison's team.

Burundi's President Evaris, dressed in a golden traditional national costume, stood on the red carpet in the center of the main hall and waited for the expedition team.

On both sides of the red carpet stood the military's honor guard soldiers, all in good spirits.

When Liu Wei stepped into the presidential palace, he felt a serious political atmosphere.

Seeing the expedition team, Evaris stepped forward, smiled, stretched out a friendly hand and shook hands with the members of the expedition team one by one, and invited them to take a seat.

Liu Wei couldn't help but think of the shooting incident he encountered on the way to transport Gustav.

Does it have something to do with Burundi's ruling nation?

It is just a scientific expedition that can attract the attention of the President of Burundi? He also warmly invited them to come to the Presidential Palace as guests!

Obviously not ordinary.

Liu Wei fell into thought.

"Thank you very much to the experts for their involvement in the capture of Gustav, and on behalf of Burundi's ruling party, I would like to apologize to you for the assassination on the way," Evaris said. ”

Patters, who has lived in Burundi for more than 20 years, is well aware of the civil unrest in Burundi and smiles: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern!"

"It's our responsibility to keep you safe!", Evaris's gaze suddenly turned to Liu Wei's body, "Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Wei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I am very good, Mr. President, during my time in Africa, I have already seen two similar armed struggles, thank you Mr. President for your concern!"

Evaris took the initiative to narrate: "This time is different from the two times you have seen before, their purpose is to come directly at our presidential palace, the civil war in Burundi, Liu, you should have heard of it!"

Liu Wei nodded.

Evaris continued: "They chose to attack in transit in order to put pressure on the presidential palace and try to provoke another civil war, but they underestimated the strength of the Burundian military and their plans would have been crushed quickly without the intervention of external forces."

I should thank you for making the right choice in this moment of crisis to prevent a large-scale war!"

Liu Wei was a little confused when he heard it.

After thinking for a moment, I realized the political struggle that Gustav, the crocodile, was carrying!

Similarly, there are many animals in Africa that have fallen victim to political conflicts.

Liu Wei sighed, raised his head and smiled and said to Evaris: "It's an honor to be able to help Mr. President, in fact, I, like Professor Patters and Professor Ellison, just want to successfully complete this scientific expedition!"

Evaris apologized again: "Frightened the experts!"

They were then invited to a dinner at today's presidential palace.

Erevas entertained the expedition team with the specifications of a state banquet.

At the dinner party.

Erevas specifically mentioned: "Liu, after discussion and decision by the Cabinet of the Presidential Palace, you will be awarded the title of chieftain, and the seven villages in the delta at the mouth of the Luxisi River are under your jurisdiction!"

Liu Wei had a mouthful of beef wrapped in his mouth, and when he heard this, he was shocked and almost stuck in the master's throat.

Quickly chewed a few times and swallowed.

Liu Wei knows a little bit about African chiefs.

In fact, in modern society, only a few countries have preserved this form.

In the wave of African independence around the sixties of the last century, the vast majority of African countries achieved independence, and some countries retained some rights of traditional leaders such as chiefs. Mainly in the management of land rights and local affairs, they have no right to interfere in the affairs of the national level, and out of respect, these countries have established institutions such as the Falsaulmen's House to give chiefs the opportunity to participate in politics.

There are many ways to inherit the status of chiefdom, some of which are matrilineal, with chiefs passing on their position to nephews and nephews, meaning that the sons of brothers also have the right to inherit.

In addition to inheritance, chieftains in modern society can also be appointed by the president and king.

At this time, Burundian President Evaris was exercising his right to appoint chieftains.

According to the government decree, the chieftain is divided into one, two, and three ranks, and can be the head of a tribe or alliance, the king of a kingdom, or a little lesser, the head of a village, which is equivalent to the head of the village.

The area under the jurisdiction given to Liu Wei by Evaris, according to the analysis of Burundi's population and economic conditions, is almost the mayor of a town in the country!

Liu Wei was a little flattered and looked at Evaris blankly.

Evaris toasted: "You are our very friendly friend, because of your help, many of our soldiers and civilians have been spared bloodshed and sacrificed, China is also a friendly country, I have met your president, I hope to have the opportunity to go to China to see!"

As a chief, you have the right to provide me with management advice, help me run the country, and also participate in important meetings of the ruling party!"

Evaris gave Liu Wei a very big right, Liu Wei said: "Mr. President, I will leave Burundi soon, I am a researcher of wild animals, and my work has nothing to do with the rights you gave me!"

Erevas smiled and said: "Liu! Now it is a network society, although Burundi is backward, it is also a country open to the outside world, we can communicate through the network in the future, any time you come to Burundi, you are the chief of the delta of the mouth of the Lusisi River!"

Liu Wei was embarrassed to refuse, and raised his glass to Evaris.

"Liu, there's going to be a press conference tomorrow where the chief is going to take his orders! you need to attend!" reminded Evaris.

Liu Wei nodded and replied, "I will definitely attend on time!"

After dinner, Patters and Ellison's team returned to the research base.

Liu Wei rested for the night at the presidential palace.

Wake up the next morning.

Several ceremonial officials of the presidential palace waited at the gate in chieftain's attire.

After Liu Wei washed up, put on the chief's uniform, put on a gold headdress and bracelet, and followed the staff to the site of the announcement meeting.

President Evaris and members of the Cabinet had arrived, and the press conference was set up relatively simply.

The slogan "Grant Chief Liu Wei Press Briefing" was specially displayed on the screen in Chinese.

There were more than a dozen media outlets under the podium, waiting for the announcement to begin.

Evaris invited Liu Wei to take a seat.

"In view of the outstanding contributions made by Liu Wei's friends to Burundi, it was unanimously decided by the cabinet to confer the title of chief Liu Wei with jurisdiction over 700 acres of land in the delta of the mouth of the Luxixi River, with seven villages and more than 500 people.

Liu Wei will participate in the important parliament of the ruling party as the chief, and I hope that Liu Wei can put forward valuable opinions for the development and management of Burundi!

Thank you!"

Liu Wei stood up and faced the media camera and bowed politely.

After the announcement of the matter, it was time for the media to ask questions.

The reporter asked: "Your Excellency, can you tell us what Mr. Liu Wei has done to help our country?"
