The bright sunshine made Asl feel very comfortable.

That’s the good thing about Nagaril, it’s not too cold.

He went to the Federation two months ago and was so cold that he almost died there.

As a native of Nagaril and a smuggled immigrant who only lived in the Federation before the freezing weather, he could not understand how to live in temperatures below minus ten degrees or even in the low twenties!

Better than Nagaril!

This is his truest thought.

"Want to go out?"

His wife looked at him and handed him her coat.

It’s already very hot in Nagali, thirty-three degrees, but some Nagali people still wear coats, and these are the rich ones.

In fact, wearing a coat is not because they are cold, but to avoid getting sunburned.

This woman looks to be only in her twenties, and her skin is paler than that of ordinary Nagali people, a bit closer to that of a federal person after tanning.

She is a mixed-race child who was a combination of early foreigners and locals. This kind of lighter-skinned locals have a considerable status in the local society of Nagaril.

She is Asr's third wife.

His first wife was his former sister-in-law, who gave birth to a child for him. She is now a bit older, close to forty years old.

Asr's impulse towards her has gradually faded away, and the woman now only shows up during major events, and other times she does her own thing.

Later, Asr married a local girl, but unfortunately the girl died in childbirth.

Nagaril's medical level was very limited, and he was not fully prepared before giving birth and did not go to a federal hospital.

It is worth mentioning here that the hospital for the federal people is not easy to enter, and it only receives a very small number of Nagaril's dignitaries. It is a hospital dedicated to serving the federal people.

But because hospitals here are not supported by the federal Social Security Medicare system, costs are high.

All medical equipment and medicines used, including medical services, are high-priced services.

Even people from the Federation cannot afford medical treatment here. Many of them will take a boat back to the Federation and come back after being cured.

Asr was somewhat depressed after the death of his second wife. Until last year, he needed a physical outlet and also needed to form an alliance with some local forces.

So he married this girl, who was a descendant of a large local family.

In fact, he really wants to marry a federal girl, so that it will be easier for him to immigrate in the future.

Although he thinks the Federation is cold and treats immigrants harshly on some issues, he still wants to immigrate, at least to obtain the status of a federal citizen.

Across the world, "Federalists" not only refers to a group, but also to the protection of one's own life and property!

He took the coat from his wife's hand and put it on simply. At the same time, he replied, "Yes, there are some things in the company this afternoon that I have to keep an eye on."

"Not everyone has the opportunity to serve Mr. Lynch. I have to do what he asked me to do well."

Without saying anything else, his wife helped him straighten out some wrinkles on his clothes, then walked him to the door and watched him drive away.

After Nel's death, some of Lynch's companies in Nagalier were handed over to professional managers. Later, Anna did not want to obey the family's arrangements and took Lynch's way to Nagalier.

She was working for Lynch while starting her own business, and she was doing really well.

Since she was new to Nagalire during that time, Asl provided technical support to Anna as a manager and local expert.

Now that Anna's career has gradually gotten on the right track, Asr has left her.

Lynch likes to use acquaintances because he knows them well enough and has enough means to deal with them even if they become rebellious.

Asl became an employee of Lynch again and was still active in Lynch's company as a manager.

During this time, he was singled out and took charge of setting up a new company and served as general manager.

The Nagarilese are lazy, diligent when you look at him, but will desert as soon as you take your eyes off him.

Asr is a local and knows the temper of Nagaril people well. He has to stay in the company for most of the day no matter what.

As the car passed through the city center, he saw a group of young people gathering together, and he frowned.

Nagaril's market is completely open, coupled with the entry of a large number of federal enterprises and the development of overseas labor dispatch work, Nagaril people have become rich.

In the past, a family's savings might only be a few yuan or dozens of yuan, but now, a family's savings can be hundreds of yuan at least.

Some will be more.

The changes brought about by the federal people have greatly impacted the society of Nagaril, culturally, economically, and in terms of outlook.

Fortunately, so far, no big movement has broken out.

Only recently, Asr found that some young people were gathering. He inquired and said that they were people who were dissatisfied with the westward movement and were protesting.

Protests have become a fashionable political tactic in Nagali when policies enacted by the Union Congress dissatisfy people.

People will organize protests and demonstrations, which are all learned from the federal people.

After protesting for a period of time, no matter whether the policy changes or not, everyone will return to their lives, because if they continue to protest, it means they may lose their jobs and income.

In the past, in Nagaril, a family could survive even if they had no income.

They could go out into the wild to get some food, but not anymore.

Large tracts of land outside the city were bought up by the landlord class and new pastures and farms were built. Groups without income were unable to obtain any food sources in the suburbs.

If you go too far, you will go deep into the natural ecological environment and may be attacked by predators.

So work is the most important thing for the people of Nagaril at this time.

The car quickly drove past the crowd. After entering the company, he walked around the hall a few times and accidentally heard someone talking about some recent trends.

"...You can't blame them. If it were me, I also think it's not a good thing to do."

"And I'm hearing they plan to launch larger protests to fight these policies..."

Asr coughed, and the two employees he was talking to returned to their seats with some embarrassment.

He called one of them into his office, who begged not to lose his job and promised not to slack off or talk during work hours.

"I didn't come to you to ask you about this!" He first calmed down the employees' emotions, and then asked, "Do you know why those people outside are protesting?"

The employees breathed a sigh of relief and naturally did not dare to hide anything, so they told everything they knew.

With the completion of the construction of the central and eastern urban agglomeration, the urban content has begun to be improved, and many cities have already begun to move in.

For example, cities around Slem have the highest occupancy rate and already have a sense of daily life.

It is impossible for all the twenty-one newly built cities to be populated by federal people. There are many federal people living in them. They mainly serve the city or the three core cities.

There are also some foreigners living here, maybe for work or for investment.

Apart from this, many Nagali people have moved there.

Compared with the simple check-in conditions for federal citizens and foreigners, Nagarilese need to meet many review conditions if they want to live in the new three states.

For example, you must have a certain amount of savings, make a certain contribution to society, and have a short- to medium-term employment or business plan after moving there.

To put it simply, the vast majority of Nagali people do not meet the basic conditions for settling in the new three states.

This is also because of the cunning, lazy and dirty nature of Nagaril people. The city has just been built, who the hell wants to see garbage everywhere?

And this approach just makes the people of Nagaril feel very hurt!

They feel... they are being discriminated against.

In the land of the Nagali people, the cities built by the labor of the Nagali people are forbidden to live in!

Many people think this is excessive. In addition, the westward migration of the Nagali people in central and eastern Nagali has strained social resources in central and western Nagali, and social conflicts and class conflicts have begun to emerge.

Just like Asr, he and his family own many farms, and he is the manager. He lives in a big house and has dozens of people providing services to him and his family.

But outside, shantytowns have reappeared, and the United Council seems to have no intention of re-planning and developing the city.

This situation is actually not surprising. The Nagalir United Congress itself is a puppet.

If the Federation people don't speak, they can't speak out.

Replanning and constructing the area west of central Nagaril is a large project that involves a lot of manpower and material resources, and it may not be meaningful to do these things.

They will not take the initiative to do it. The federal people are fully developing the area east of the central part, so naturally they will not pay attention to the situation here.

Over time, this deviation in development, dissatisfaction with the inaction of the United Parliament, and various social contradictions and class antagonisms began to appear and escalate.

The problem has not yet erupted or become heated because of the "guidance" of Akumali and the federal government, allowing them to convey the problem in the way the federal people want.

But if the federal government and the Joint Parliament cannot improve and reduce these problems, they will eventually explode in a larger way.

After Asr asked the employees to leave, he was a little undecided whether he should talk to Mr. Lynch.

Because these things should be considered serious, they are indeed serious, and a demonstration of unprecedented scale is brewing.

But to say how serious it is, it is just a demonstration...
