"Why are you cheering?"

"I don't know, everyone is cheering, what about you, why are you cheering?"

"I don't know either…"

Sometimes human beings are so simple and innocent, when everyone else is cheering, they will wave their arms, even if they can't make some cheering sounds.

Blind obedience and group consciousness are always good friends of politicians, which is why the TV station arranges a few staff members in the audience to guide the emotions of the audience.

When a person starts to applaud, the people around him will also applaud subconsciously in order not to show their "specialness".

When someone cheers, in order not to look like an idiot out of the group, people start cheering too.

It's like you don't really want to sing "Happy Birthday", but you pretend to clap your hands and lip-sync so that people don't think you're out of place.

It not only maintains its own inner independence, but also does not appear to be out of group.

Human beings are hypocritical and good at hiding their own nature, which has existed since birth.

The current situation is like this, the Mariro people may not have much enthusiasm for the president's family.

On the contrary, they have great enthusiasm for the Federation. The Federation people give them money, jobs, and education opportunities for their children.

What the president's family couldn't do, the federal people did. Perhaps the reason why people cheered wasn't that they saw the young president, but that Marillo was finally going to be incorporated into the federation!

"People like you very much, don't you say something?" Lynch said standing behind the little president.

The little president thought for a while, picked up the microphone, and wanted to say something, and the crowd fell silent in due time.

There were thousands of surging emotions fluctuating in his heart one second ago, but in the next second, he was stunned.

He didn't know what to say to reflect his inner feelings at this moment, he didn't know how to express it, and he didn't know what to say.

He has not received a strict political education, and the federal government has not given them the right to hire tutors.

At school, the teachers only made him happy like a fool, not how smart he was.

He knew what he had to say, but he just didn't know what to say.

Just when he was about to break out in a sweat, Lynch reminded him softly, "Tell me what you miss about this place, and tell me the purpose of your coming back."

The little president was shocked, and according to the train of thought provided by Lynch, he started his first speech after returning to Marillo after a long absence.

In fact, he doesn't have much memory of Mariro, even his impressions are vague.

The only thing he could remember was that the family was leaving here that day, and when they reached the border, his father left and never came back.

This is his only clear memory of his childhood, the others have long since faded away.

Almost all of his knowledge of Marillo comes from TV media or specialized publications. This place is like a strange place to him, but he is the king here.

Fortunately, Lynch drew out the regulations for him, using some function words to cover up the facts that he didn't understand, or what he didn't understand was what he had learned.

He talked about tradition, the past, the present, and also the future.

"...The purpose of my coming back this time is because of your voices."

"I heard your cries, your longing for a happy life, so I'm back."

"I…"

A very ordinary, very straightforward speech, but enough for a teenager.

When Lynch started applauding, the crowd burst into applause...

Then, they left the airport in a special car.

"Next, representatives of public opinion from various ministries in Marillo will come to meet with you, and they will tell you some thoughts about the present and the future."

"When you meet someone you like, who suits you, you can chat with them more."

"Some people will also say something you don't like. You don't need to be angry, let alone refute, just listen to it."

"All that's left is to go through the motions and someone will tell you what to do."

The little president listened to Lynch's arrangement quietly without raising any objections.

There were many luxurious buildings in Mariello in the past. At that time, the brutal rule of the Mallori people did their best to exploit the Mariro people and built many magnificent buildings.

But in the ensuing race wars, this was seen as a symbol of the brutal rule of the Mallorians over the Mallorians, and basically all of them were destroyed.

Even if there are still some left, they are dilapidated and cannot be moved in.

Fortunately, the capitalists of the Federation have built some large hotels in cities near the border. Marilo is a place with potential for development and a place worth investing in.

The hotel they chose to stay in was a new big hotel. The security guards at the door were all carrying modern standard weapons, which looked a little scary.

After all, Mariro is an unsafe area, and the long-term separatism of warlords has created distorted values ​​among people.

Even now, robbery and the like are common occurrences in the entire Mariro country.

As soon as he entered the hotel, many people surrounded him.

Some of these people are well-dressed, and it is almost impossible to see that they are Mariroan, mainly because of their poverty.

There is also a section that is obviously much poorer and more traditional.

They all wanted to talk to the little president, but they were all blocked out of safe range.

The entourage introduced in a low voice, these are the representatives of public opinion from various regions.

Each representative has a different expression on his face, and exudes a different attitude towards the little president, which makes people feel amazing and interesting.

After returning to the room, Lynch asked the little president to rest, and will arrange for him to meet and talk with those representatives of public opinion later.

When he came out of the little president's room and returned to his own room, there were already many people waiting for him in the room.

When Lynch entered the door, everyone stood up without landing.

There are federal government officials, members of Congress, and some "locals."

No matter who they are or what their identities are, they all have the same sentence at this moment, "Mr. Lynch..."

Lynch nodded, raised his hand and pressed, "You're welcome...", he said, walked to the sofa in the middle and sat down.

Someone immediately brought him coffee, someone lit a cigarette for him, and people gathered around him.

"How's the situation here?"

Naturally, he wasn't asking those people who were crying and clamoring to be incorporated into the Federation, but the "opposition".

There are always people standing against the current at any one time, and this is no different.

Most Mariroans want to become Federal, but there is always a small minority who, for various reasons, try to convince people not to.

In fact, everyone has their own reasons for every decision, and it is difficult to form a consensus, which will also bring troubles to the next meeting.

It was the local sheriff who was speaking, and the Federation had arranged many sheriffs in Marillo to be responsible for the security in the jurisdiction.

They are "all-rounders", who can be sheriffs when crimes occur, or administrators in peacetime.

Not only responsible for arresting criminals, but also responsible for the development and administration of the region.

Lynch looked at him, and he told some more detailed plots.

"There are some people who are not willing to accept our kindness, and they are trying to persuade others not to talk to the federation."

"Currently we can't take into account the areas further north, so my influence on those people further north is really limited..."

The areas that develop economic cooperation with the Federation are mainly concentrated in the south of Mariro. The federal government urges and helps the Mariro people to move south, but it is impossible for all of them to move south.

Therefore, people who enjoy various federal policies and benefits only account for about 30% of the total population of Mariello.

Although one was not directly affected, it was indirectly benefited, and it was also a person who supported Mariello's incorporation into the Federation.

But further north, there is a group of Mariro who do not enjoy any specific benefits.

Moving south made them leave their hometown, and even though it was impossible to live in that **** place in winter, they still thought it was the fault of the federal people.

Coupled with the fact that the federalists have not implemented the benefits they promised, there are some people who are against it.

Lynch listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time.

Before he came, he had talked with Mr. President about this matter. Originally, Mr. President had no interest in these big matters.

But this time he talked with Lynch for a while, because if this matter is done well, he can also enjoy political dividends, and it will last for many years.

No matter how people evaluate this matter in the future, whether it is good or bad, they cannot avoid mentioning the "land expansion" of the Federation.

So he asked Lynch to minimize accidents and ensure the smooth and successful talks.

"Find a way to arrange for these people to meet with me, and I will talk to them and try to convince them."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief that Lynch himself went out, and now even some people in the upper class have begun to believe in Lynch's "never fail" and firmly believe that he can keep it going.

With Lynch coming forward, it is obviously the best result.

Several people chatted about the details of the follow-up meeting, and then they all left to let Lynch rest.

After dinner in the evening, the little president began to meet with these representatives of public opinion.

The first thing I saw were some representatives of public opinion who supported and federal merger, and they were also representatives of public opinion in the southern area of ​​Mariello.

As vested interest groups, they naturally want to continue to safeguard their own interests unshakably.

Lynch was also at the scene~lightnovelpub.net~ but he sat in a relatively back position.

Then, after some representatives of public opinion in the north appeared, they began to talk about the country, nation, race, history, inheritance, culture and other things.

In short, there is only one sentence, don't **** with the Federation!

This also made Lynch discover a very interesting phenomenon.

In the past, the main conflict within the Marillo centered on the racial conflict between the Mallorians and the Mallorians.

But now, this racial conflict is shifting to a regional conflict, that is, the "North-South conflict."

This is actually very interesting, telling people with a **** truth that there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved.

At the same time, it also told people that as long as the interests are not balanced, conflicts will definitely arise!

Benefits are the truth of the universe!
