s.h.i.+r Ali was hungry and therefore decided to discuss business with his cousin right at the table, as was generally accepted in Small-An.

The country of contrasts, from the point of view of the philosophy of life, is a former socialist country, with free medicine, free higher education. Previously, there were many factories, factories, scientific organizations that provided jobs for millions of people. The country was part of the second empire, which pursued its geopolitical and geostrategic goals, investing a lot of money in the development of Small-An.

Small-An was the showcase of the success of socialism in Asia. Thus, the second empire wanted to lure other Asian countries to its side. However, within each empire, there are poles of power. Some were in favor of political and economic measures of using "soft power" to lure Asian countries, while others advocated a faster scenario for resolving issues. Typical of imperialist countries, namely, intervention under the guise of some n.o.ble goals. The salvation of mankind from universal evil, for example. In practice, it was just a war for resources, access to the bridgeheads, for subsequent intervention in other countries. But such adventures, of course, met with resistance from other forces in the region of influence. Thus, a long and b.l.o.o.d.y war began, lasting for decades.

All who were opposed to Small-An were eliminated in one way or another. The second empire lost its attractiveness, betrayed the ideals of socialism, and became ... a feudal regional power. Until one day, a simple worker came from a tractor factory, his father and grandfather were communists, like himself. He was able to rebuild the country by creating a third empire. Which again began to be feared and respected throughout the world. But that's another story.

In Small-An, in 2030, a mess reigned in the heads of the people, some of them had past memories when they lived in a country that was second in power in the world! They were respected, they lived well, well-fed, but they lacked freedom of choice and there was a system of equalizing all talented professionals and mediocre idlers. Others lived in a time of lack of laws and anarchy; they denied the positive role of socialism. There were advocates of liberal values, but there was a minority of them. There were traditionalists who perceived only superficially those traditions that were in the 17th and 18th centuries. There were Westerners, mostly children from the elite.

For 40 years, an internal Cold War reigned inside Small-An. The urban inhabitants were envied by the rural, and urban by the rural. The former had more opportunities for a comfortable life, but less money. The second did not have light, gas, heat, hot water, but there was a lot of unaccounted-for money.

Small-An, being in the 21st century, in his social structure was in feudalism, with complete monopoly in the economy, which had a detrimental effect on the economy. The standard of living of the population fell. Then the price of oil and gas fell in the world, the country defaulted. People have become even poorer.

Therefore, in the minds of people reigned a complete mess and disorder. On the one hand, there was 10 percent of the super-rich s, 20 percent of the rich and 70 percent of the poor and poor, from whom ... some lived on wages to salary, others were forced to ask for a fall on the street so as not to starve to death.

This was a big gap between the layers of the population. And some of whom remembered that before they had their own houses on earth, cars, they went to rest at sea and the bank had accounts of 50-80 thousand dollars. In an instant they became poor, their second empire took their acc.u.mulation and never returned it.

Now in old age, they were homeless ... with no money and no future.

In such a situation, Baraz, Dara, s.h.i.+rAli lived ... but they knew how to do something and they had a "roof". Otherwise, they would have joined the ranks of the poor. And so they tried to stay in the middle cla.s.s.

s.h.i.+r Ali, understanding the situation they are in, therefore decided to bet on the rich and exploit them.
