The next morning, the elders from the Regional Council arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
Although there had been reports that the Empire might abolish the Regional Council system, until that idea was formally implemented, the elders still had the right to offer consultation and discuss matters concerning the people's interests.
The system of elected elders forming a Regional Council was, in practice, somewhat similar to the Federal Parliament.
The only difference was that the Regional Council had very little authority. Aside from discussing matters and expressing their opinions, they could not actually make decisions on anything.
This was different from the Regional Councils and Congress of the Federation. Those institutions, as representatives of public opinion, were at least nominally the highest decision-making bodies.
Congress was even one of the Federation's highest ruling institutions!
The Governor had a headache, not knowing how to deal with these people or answer the questions that were sure to be troublesome.
Just then, the demolition of the Washing Machine Factory was urgently halted.
As the site of the First Phase Project, the Washing Machine Factory naturally bore an extremely important responsibility! Whether the project could make a spectacular debut and shock the world was directly tied to the First Phase Project.
That was why, while other areas were still mobilizing for relocation and demolition, the Washing Machine Factory had already begun the actual demolition.
They had already dismantled the machines from the assembly line and were organizing people to transport them away.
Everyone was working with all their might.
Many rumors had been spreading during this period. One of the more encouraging ones claimed that the more than one thousand workers at the Washing Machine Factory would not be dismissed, but would instead be directly transferred into construction workers on-site.
