1599 Meek and Vicious

People are always afraid of war.

After all, I am still afraid of death.

Nell and his family are already standing at the port. The cruise ship will come over soon and take them all back to the Federation.

At this time, Nell's face could no longer see the sense of superiority that those who were federal personnel had, only anxiety, panic, and fear remained.

His wives are comforting the children, who are obviously different from the locals. These are Nell's family members, and he has a "extended family" in the local area.

This is very common and in Nagaril you can take care of as many girls as you can afford.

Many men believe that Nagaril is part of the Kingdom of Heaven, at least in this regard.

An investigative agency conducted a very meaningless survey on the infidelity and divorce rates of federal workers who had worked in Nagaril for more than three years.

The results are astonishing. About 78% of the interviewees admitted that they had cheated on each other or maintained cheating while they were married.

Some people even openly admitted that they had established a new family in Nagaril and had their own wives and children.

At the same time, the number of people interviewed who have been divorced accounted for 37% of the total interviewees, and more people said that they would separate from their federal families in the future.

This is a horrifying social survey, and it also scares the women of the Federation!

Because the people interviewed are not middle- and high-level people in society, but basically all ordinary people in society.

The most ordinary workers, the most ordinary skilled workers, these can be called the bottom people in the Federation!

Once these people are separated from their original families, it will inevitably have a terrible impact on the social environment at the bottom of the federation.

In the current federal society and family structure, most women are still working as full-time housewives. Once divorced, these housewives who have not held much work since graduating from high school and have been out of touch with society for a long time will have to face an embarrassing situation. .

They cannot support themselves, let alone their families.

So when the survey was released, surprisingly, the federal divorce rate actually dropped!

Especially for those working-class families who are fortunate enough to be assigned to work in Nagaril, the divorce rate of these families has dropped significantly.

Women in the family begin to give in and endure more, even though they know very well what their husbands may be doing, but... who can do anything to solve this situation?

They don't have any competitiveness. Some TV stations have done some programs and they go to Nagalir.

The girls over there, from their teens to their twenties, are young and beautiful girls who don’t care at all what their “husbands” look like.

Even if he is old, ugly and doesn't like bathing, it doesn't matter.

As long as they can make money, as long as they are willing to share part of the money to support these girls and their families, the girls are willing to sell themselves for a good price.

Totally uncompetitive...

This also led to the Federation men living in Nagaril always having an indescribable sense of superiority.

But at this time, those feelings of superiority were shattered by the news that Pengeo's army continued to advance.

Outside the port, there were some federal people who had not been able to return to the federation in time. They tried to attack the port to get a chance to return to the federation, but they were all blocked by people who were maintaining law and order.

They begged, cried, or cursed, but this did not change the attitude of the military police at all. Just like those girls, begged, cried, or cursed them, hoping that they could also take them to the Federation. They also chose to be indifferent.

Nell felt someone hugging his leg. He looked down and saw that it was his "second son". He touched the child's head. The hair was very soft.

He liked the boy, more so than his real eldest son, Lynch.

Nell played an incompetent father when Lynch was growing up. The most common words he told Lynch were "get out" and "you'd better not make me angry."

He always said to his wife and children, I make money to support this family, so don't cause trouble for me, I'm not interested in your things!

He didn't know much about what happened when Lynch was growing up, let alone get involved in Lynch's growth process.

To him, Lynch was like a child who had grown up overnight, making him strange and at the same time awe-inspiring.

There is no way, the awe of the rich is something that capitalism has engraved in the bones of the people of the Federation.

He felt... he didn't like this kind of relationship very much. He didn't feel any joy of being a father from Lynch, but the child now was different from these children.

He no longer needs to work hard to support himself and his family, and he has more time to intervene in the growth of these children.

He knows when this child first walked independently, he knows when this child first shouted "papa", he knows a lot.

This stronger sense of infiltration, coupled with his achievements, wealth, status, and dominance over the family, gave him more joy and pride as a father.

"Everything will be fine." He lowered his head and looked at the boy. He smiled, hoping to use his calmness to dispel the uneasiness on the child's face.

The little boy didn't speak, he just hugged his leg tightly and put his head on his thigh.

"Everything will be fine, we will come back." He seemed to be telling his children and his wife.

But in fact, he was telling himself.

The cruise ship in the distance was getting closer and closer, gradually approaching the shore, and those on the shore without tickets began to try to attack the port again.

It is difficult to buy shipping tickets now, especially since Pengeo's fleet is slowly advancing along the eastern coast, and there are frequent reports of sinking of some cargo ships and merchant ships.

Both the federal and local shipping companies doing shipping business in Nagaril have recently begun to reduce or even stop similar operations.

There is no way, the ticket money for a boatload of people is not enough to pay the sailor's pension, let alone buy a boat.

Except for a few small companies that are still fighting for their lives, basically large shipping companies are no longer working.

The cruise ship in front of me is currently known to be the last large cruise ship to travel between Nagaril and the Federation within a month.

If you miss this time, you may not be able to leave.

This also makes the price of the boat ticket prohibitively high, but there are still not enough seats for those people.

All of this happened too fast, if Penjiao's army hadn't advanced too fast.

If it weren't for the local natives of Nagaril, they would never resist.

Perhaps it is not so dangerous now for the central and northern regions.

But it all happened too fast, and the federal side was also very angry about the Nagaril people's shameless non-resistance policy.

But anger, just anger, doesn't make much sense to the whole situation.

Under the "control" of the federal government and the Nagalir United Development Corporation, the entire ruling class of Nagalili has been completely emptied out, which has also led to the lack of a strong power structure in Nagalili.

Without this institution, the loose lower class people cannot unite. For them, who rules is not rule?

As long as it brings them jobs, as long as it keeps them fed, and as long as it doesn't rob them of their wealth, they don't care who their boss is.

It can be the local indigenous privileged class, it can be the federal people, why can't it be the Pengeo people?

This may also be some of the negative changes brought about by the barbaric growth of capitalism in this land. People have no faith and are not afraid of power. For them, money is the master of this world.

Capitalists achieve what they want to see, but sometimes these beautiful things also hurt their toes!

The cruise ship was getting closer and closer, the gangway was lowered, and ticket checking began.

Nell and his family were preparing to board the ship. He glanced at Garden, who was standing not far away from him. He hesitated for a while, but finally walked over.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

The relationship between Nell and Garton is actually very good. When Lynch hinted that he would let him take over Garton's position in the future and become the provincial governor here, Nell has been getting close to Garton.

Lynch's father approaches him, which is also an opportunity, an honor, and a hint of joy for Garden.

Both parties actively cater to each other, and naturally get along happily.

Nell tried to convince Garton to leave with him, but he refused.

For this young man, Nagaril is full of dangers at this time. The rise of any new power will inevitably cleanse the previous ruling class.

Just like after the Federation came, the previous privileged classes were purged.

Even though they say they didn't do it, everyone knows it was the Federation.

After the Pengeo people gain a foothold, they will inevitably launch a more brutal purge. As one of the current vested interests, he has a high probability of being purged.

But if he leaves...

Sometimes it's hard to understand the stupidity of a society because you're blown away by what people think, in every sense of the word.

The attitude of the Nagaril people towards foreigners like the Federation is very...probably because of the strength of the Federation. Even if the Federation goes too far, the local indigenous people will tolerate it.

Therefore, in the eyes of the federal people, including the Pengeo people, the Nagaril people are a very docile group.

Even if there are some dishonest people, they are only a minority.

But the attitude of local people towards locals and their attitude towards foreigners are completely different.

Cursed, beaten, or even killed, these natives who are as docile as lambs will suddenly turn into demons!

If Garton leaves, he is unlikely to come back, because even if he comes back, the locals will be very dissatisfied with him.

These dissatisfactions will eventually be vented...
