"Why are you cheering?"

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

"I don't know either……"

Sometimes human beings are so simple and innocent. When others are cheering, they will wave their arms, even if they can't make any cheering sounds.

Blind obedience and group consciousness are always good friends of politicians, which is why TV stations have to arrange a few staff members in the audience to guide the audience's emotions.

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

When someone cheers, people start cheering too so as not to look like a fool who is out of touch with the group.

It's like you don't actually want to sing "Happy Birthday to You", but in order not to make people think you are out of place, you pretend to clap your hands and lip-sync.

Not only does he maintain his inner independence, he does not appear unsociable.

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

The current situation is such that Marillo people may not have much enthusiasm for the presidential family.

On the contrary, they have great enthusiasm for the federation. The federal people give them money, give them jobs, and give their children the opportunity to receive education.

What the president's family couldn't do, the people of the federation have done it. Maybe the reason why people cheered was not 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 young president.

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

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

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

He did not receive strict political education, and the federal government did not give them the right to hire a tutor.

In school, the teachers will only make him happy like a fool, not how smart he is.

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

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

The young president was inspired and, following the ideas provided by Lynch, began his first speech back in Marillo after a long absence.

In fact, he didn't have much memory of Marillo, and even his impressions were vague.

The only thing he probably remembered was that his family was leaving that day. When they arrived at the border, his father left and never came back.

This is the only clear memory he has of his childhood, the others have long been blurred.

Almost all of his knowledge of Marillo came from television media or specialized publications. This place was like a strange place to him, and he was the king here.

Fortunately, Lynch clarified the regulations for him, using some function words to cover up the facts that he didn't understand, or that the content he didn't understand was the content he had studied.

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

"...The reason why I came back this time is because of your calls."

"I heard your cries, your cries for a happy life, so I came back."

"I……"

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

When Lynch started to applaud, fierce applause suddenly burst out from the crowd...

Afterwards, they left the airport in a special car.

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

"When you meet someone you like and suit your needs, you can chat more with them."

"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 some formalities and someone will tell you what to do."

The young president listened quietly to Lynch's arrangements without raising any objections.

There were many luxurious buildings in Marillo in the past. At that time, the cruel rule of the Malorians tried their best to exploit the Marillo people and built many magnificent buildings.

However, in the subsequent race war, this symbol, which was regarded as a symbol of the brutal rule of the Malorites against the Malorites, was basically destroyed.

Even if there are some left, they are too dilapidated and uninhabitable.

Fortunately, federal capitalists have built some large hotels in cities near the border. Marillo is a place with development potential and a place worthy of investment.

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 bit scary.

After all, Marillo is an unsafe area, and the long-term separatist rule by warlords has created people's distorted values.

Even now, robberies and the like are common occurrences throughout Marillo.

As soon as I entered the hotel, many people gathered around me.

Some of these people were dressed in decent formal clothes, and it was almost impossible to tell that they were Marillos, mainly because of their poverty.

Others are obviously much poorer and more traditional.

They all wanted to talk to the young president, but they were blocked from the safe area.

The entourage introduced them in a low voice. These were the public opinion representatives from various regions.

Each representative has a different expression on his face, exuding a different attitude towards the young president, which makes people feel very strange and interesting.

After returning to the room, Lynch asked the young president to rest and would arrange for him to meet with the public opinion representatives 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.

The moment Lynch walked in, everyone stood up without falling to the ground.

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

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter who they are or what their identity is, they all have the same sentence at this time, "Mr. Lynch..."

Lin Qi nodded in greeting, raised his hand and pressed softly, "You're welcome...", he said and walked to the middle sofa 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 was not asking those people who were crying and clamoring for annexation to the Federation, but the "opposition".

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

Most Mariroans want to become Confederates, but there is always a small group who use various reasons to try to convince people not to do so.

In fact, everyone has their own reasons for every decision, and it is difficult to achieve unity, which will also cause trouble in the following meetings.

The person who spoke was the local sheriff. The federation had arranged many sheriffs in Marillo to be responsible for the security within their jurisdiction.

They are "all-rounders" who can be the peace officer when a crime occurs or the chief executive during normal times.

Not only responsible for catching criminals, but also responsible for the development and administrative work of the region.

Lynch looked at him and he told him more details.

"There are some people who are unwilling to accept our good intentions and are trying to persuade others to refuse talks with the federation."

"Currently we are unable to take care of the areas further north, so my influence on those further north is really limited..."

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

Therefore, those who enjoy various federal policy benefits only account for about 30% of the total population of Marillo.

Although there was one group that was not directly affected, it benefited indirectly, and they were also those who supported Marillo's incorporation into the Federation.

But further north, there is a group of Marillos who have not enjoyed any concrete benefits.

Moving south made them leave their hometown. Even though that hellish place was impossible to live in during the winter, they still thought it was the fault of the Federation people.

In addition, the federal people have not implemented the benefits they promised, and there are many opponents among these people.

Lin Qi listened very carefully and asked some questions from time to time.

He had talked about this matter with the President before he came. Originally, the President had no interest in these big things.

But he talked with Lynch for a while this time, because if this thing was done well, he would also be able to reap political dividends, and he would reap the benefits for many years.

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

Therefore, he asked Lynch to minimize surprises and ensure that the meeting went smoothly and successfully.

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

Lynch personally took action, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Now even some people in the upper class have become superstitious about Lynch's "never failure" and firmly believe that he can continue to do so.

Having Lynch come forward is obviously the best result.

Several people chatted about the details of the subsequent talks, and then they all left, letting Lynch rest.

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

The first people I saw were some public opinion representatives who supported the merger with the federation, and they were also public opinion representatives from the southern region of Marillo.

As a vested interest group, they naturally have to continue to safeguard their interests and not be shaken.

Lynch was also present, but he was sitting relatively far back.

Then when some public opinion representatives from the north appeared, they began to talk about country, nation, race, history, heritage, culture and the like.

In short, there is only one thing to say, don’t get too close to the Federation!

This also led Lynch to discover a very interesting phenomenon.

In the past, the main conflicts within Marillo centered on the racial conflicts between the Marillos and the Malorites.

Now, this racial conflict is shifting to regional conflicts, that is, the "North-South Contradiction."

This is actually very interesting. It tells people with a bloody truth that there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved.

At the same time, it also tells people that as long as interests are unbalanced, conflicts will definitely arise!
