Chapter 2093

A cruise ship docked slowly, and a working group from the Congress was ready to disembark.

This is a very luxurious, but not very large cruise ship. From the name "Princess Polis" on its bow, it can be seen that it should be a private ship.

In fact, the rich do not lack such a ship, which is larger than a cruise ship, so that it can cross the sea.

But it is smaller than ordinary large cruise ships, so that it will not appear too cumbersome.

It is like a mobile palace on the sea, and many rich people have such "big toys".

This time, the masters of the Congress said they would come to Nagalil, but there was no direct ship sailing that day.

Maybe it was the favor of the lords of the Congress, or maybe it was just the capitalists who wanted to show their faces in front of the lords of the Congress. In short, a private luxury cruise ship carried these lords to Nagalil.

The hull was close to the shore, but not completely close. When there was still some distance, it slowly stopped.

The gangway was lowered, and the leader, the Senator, had a cordial conversation with a guy who should be a capitalist for a while.

The two then shook hands, bid each other farewell, and left.

The captain stood behind the capitalist and asked, "Sir, do you need to set sail for the return journey?"

With a weird smile on his face, the capitalist shook his head.

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it, "I'll give you a holiday, and they will go back with us soon..."

The captain looked at those congressmen, didn't he say...they want to be here permanently?
But the captain didn't ask why, which didn't have much to do with him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the group left the gangway and stepped on the ground.

In fact, the hull itself is very stable when on board, but no matter how stable it is, it is still on the sea.

There is bound to be some degree of shaking.

Sometimes shaking a little more violently will give people a very disturbing dizziness.

Only at this moment, stepping on the dirt, can they feel real peace.

At this time, the leader of the working group, a well-known MP in Congress, frowned and looked around.

The bustling port is already showing its potential for future growth, with almost untold numbers of people working in a variety of jobs.

A large amount of supplies were unloaded from the ship, and then immediately loaded and transported away.

There are some materials that can only be produced by the Federation, such as steel structure components.

The bustling and lively port indicates people's expectations here.

However, the team leader looked around and did not see any convoy coming to pick them up.

He asked the team member in charge of the docking work, a member of Congress, "Did you and Catherine tell us when we will arrive?"

The team member in charge of the opponent nodded repeatedly, "We have communicated twice, and there is no problem with the time. We are half an hour ahead of the expected time."

"Then why didn't I see the car coming to pick us up?"

You must know that these people together are not just a few people, but dozens of people.

With so many people, if the state government arranges special cars to pick them up, there must be at least a dozen of them.

But looking around, apart from trucks, there was no decent convoy at all in the port.

It was only at this time that the team members realized that he was afraid that the responsibility would fall on himself in the end, so he quickly explained, "Maybe we came early, so they haven't arrived yet."

"You know, the Federation's shipping has always been late, never early."

"But it doesn't matter, I have their phone number, I will find a phone number and he will remind him..."

The team leader's expression looked good now, he nodded reservedly, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, "Arrange as soon as possible, there is too much dust here!"

Can it be big?

With a temperature of more than 30 degrees and prolonged exposure to the sun, even at the seaside, the humid air has nothing to do with the land.

The dried dust was scattered everywhere with the various construction vehicles running. Although it was lively, if you look carefully, it is indeed flying dust.

The team member in charge of the docking found a phone booth not far away, and he quickly dialed the state government, and it was Catherine herself who answered the phone.

"Governor Catherine, we have contacted before..."

"Yes, it's me, we have arrived at Nagalil's... port port..."

"No, didn't I call to inform you that we've arrived, I mean, didn't you send a car to pick us up?"

"...Why do you think so?!"

"Now it's... hell!"

The crew slammed the receiver on the payphone.

What he meant by calling Catherine to say that they had arrived was to ask Catherine where the convoy was to pick them up.

But Catherine just used perfunctory words like "I got it" and never mentioned the reception work.

When he mentioned whether he could receive them, Catherine refused the reception on the grounds that the state government currently does not have a surplus fleet, and said that a place to stay has been prepared for them...

Then hung up.

No convoy!

No reception!

The team members who were connected didn't even know how to tell the team leader about it!
You must know that when the Congress goes to participate in the work, the local reception standards are very high, such as some remote places, even the governor himself has to appear on the scene to welcome the arrival of the congressional working group.

The fleet and everything are the most basic reception measures, but today, something went wrong with these things!
The team members walked up to the team leader, were silent for two seconds, and then told the truth.

He can't shoulder that responsibility, a representative is not a senator.

The rate of change of members of the House of Representatives is actually very fast. If the senators are dissatisfied with them, as long as they twist their lips, the selection strategy of the party committee members for public office candidates will soon change.

Without the support of the recommendation within the party, they can't hold this position at all!

After the team member bit the bullet and finished talking with Catherine, he immediately expressed self-criticism for his inadequacy in work.

But the team leader didn't give in to him, just smiled and asked him to contact the acquaintances here and pull them away as soon as possible.

In fact, the team leader is also very clear, it's not that Catherine doesn't know, or the state government lacks a fleet or something.

Don't those state governments in the federal territory have no fleets?
With so many taxpayers staring at it, how dare the state government build its own fleet for "enjoyment"?
Although the state government does not have it, the capitalists do!

Isn't this just a phone call?

Slem's casinos and some central commercial districts have begun to operate, and they are very dependent on the state government and the city hall.

As long as a phone call is made, these capitalists will rush to pull out a convoy to help the state government complete the reception work.

But the state government didn't do that, why?
Because of confrontation!

This is a kind of warning, which has been admonished, Catherine, or Lynch is telling them in this way that they are an unwelcome group of people.

But... who cares?
No one likes members of Congress, but they can't do without members of Congress. They have plenty of time to negotiate and fight!

The team leader was not angry, which greatly relieved the team members.

He hastily called the acquaintances here. As a congressman, he still has some contacts.

The person who answered the phone was a businessman, who was in the process of leaping from a businessman to a capitalist, so they knew each other and had a certain friendship.

Real big capitalists, who would care about a "consumable" like the House of Representatives, and still keep in touch with them?

After returning from the phone booth, the group left the port and rested in a hotel outside the port.

Since it takes about seven or eight hours for the convoy to come from Slem, it is already afternoon.

In other words, it was already midnight when the convoy arrived, so they decided to leave the next morning.

As soon as they arrived in Nagalil, these people encountered a tough response from the state government, and they were not in the mood to go out to play.

Although the group leader was cheerful, everyone knew that he must be angry.

After all, being neglected by the local government, this is a kind of provocation and a humiliation to the MP!
In such a situation, still run out to play?

I'm afraid I'm going to change jobs if I don't go back!

At eight o'clock the next morning, everyone left by car after eating, and they didn't even pay for the hotel accommodation——

The friends of the group members paid for them, which is the most common "interaction" between capitalists and politicians.

They solve all the basic necessities of the politicians, and the politicians will also give them some help and some positive feedback.

Several cars have been prepared, and there are two buses.

Ordinary staff and members of Congress took the bus, and only the senators took the car.

The team leader and another deputy team leader were sitting in the same car. The car was driving on the newly built expressway outside the city, and there was a "fresh" smell everywhere.

Obviously, it hasn't been long since the expressway was built, and tools and equipment that haven't been pulled away can still be seen in some sections of the road.

"I'm afraid this journey will not be easy..."

The team leader's words drew the deputy team leader's attention back from the window.

He looked at the solemn expression of the team leader and nodded, "Anyone would not let us achieve our goal easily."

"The local council has not contacted us until now. It seems that they are firmly on Lynch's side."

"Have you thought about how to solve the current situation?"

The team leader seemed to have a headache, "It's not realistic to confront Lynch directly, we lack the strength to fight."

"Currently, we can only focus on Catherine and the professor. If we can suppress them and force Lynch to sit down and negotiate with us, then there is still a great chance."

The deputy team leader seemed to be talking to himself, but also to the team leader. The voice was very low, but the team leader happened to be able to hear it.

"That's one trillion, one trillion, how many things can be done, who can give up so easily?"
