Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The Second Meeting with the Higher-ups (6)

"The two planets are merging with each other, and the Secret Realm is the fusion zone for both sides. It was originally meant to integrate into the world of the Blue Star and become part of our national territory. What do the former nobles want if they refuse to naturalize?"

Ye Nai’s words sent a jolt through everyone’s hearts present, yet they had to leave a backup plan, as nothing is absolutely certain.

"How can such a big planet just become part of our territory? The Blue Star has other countries too."

"There aren’t any left." Ye Nai shrugged.

"...What?!" Everyone was genuinely shocked.

"Stop fantasizing, really, there aren’t any. Countries smaller than ours are fragmented, those around our size have very few people, constantly being invaded and further split up by enemies, leaving empty lands that have been seized and divided. Now, we are the only political nation left on the entire Blue Star."

Ye Nai’s gaze slowly swept over each person present.

"I’ve traveled all over the Blue Star, and truly, there are no other countries. Either they’ve been annihilated, or their citizens have become laborers for the enemy. Those who managed to escape have reverted to tribal structures, returning to the way of life of their ancestors."

"Even those countries that were allied with us before the war are gone?" Vice Minister Su frowned deeply.

"Gone. Either they’re small countries with few people or large countries with sparse populations. Coupled with weak industries, although their physical qualities are decent, they couldn’t stand up against the Otherworldly foes. Young men back then were killed off, leaving almost none. To maintain a labor force, the enemy deliberately left some men to breed. Even our northern neighbor is gone, with only a few people in the permafrost zones, the physically fit ones were taken to battle elsewhere."

"Don’t the enemies farm?" Vice Minister Cheng asked in confusion.

"The enemies want to farm, but they have no seeds, seed companies, or seed warehouses left. The farmers who knew how to farm are gone. They love cotton products, but what’s the use? The destruction at the beginning of the war was too severe, too many people died. Calculating carefully, all the enemies have consumed over the years is some coal mining profits. And a small amount of gold, silver, and copper for daily items, but weaponry and important materials have always depended on the Otherworld, which still lingers in the era of handcraft. Without an industrial revolution, slowly dragging them down. That’s not even considering their internal conflicts and dangerous zones, so isn’t it inevitable they collapsed over time?"

Everyone nodded silently. It sounded like the situation on the Blue Star wasn’t so bad after all.

"What about the island nations?"

"Annihilated, vanished. Survivors became laborers for the enemy, where there’s a mine, they became miners. Where there’s no mine, they kept some to serve themselves, and the rest, they sold to places with mines. Industry’s gone, so is electricity. They’ve reverted to the handcraft era, with former factories turning to ruins or dormitories for laborers."

Everyone looked at each other, until after a while, someone casually murmured.

"Only our country is left on the globe..."

"Exactly." Ye Nai followed up, "Before the war, we often said there was only one Dahua Country on the Blue Star. Now it’s come true, there’s only one Dahua Country left on the Blue Star."

"Sigh..."

Everyone was filled with infinite emotions, silently sighing.

"Now the question is handed over to you, should we help them rebuild their countries?"

"What do you think?" Vice Minister Fan retorted.

"Having only one Dahua Country on the globe is quite dull. Let’s help them rebuild. Different ethnicities don’t need forced integration, but the Otherworld globally belongs to us, not an inch of land should be given away."

"Is this land now ours?"

"What else? I’ve done all the preliminary work, why would I let it slip away? You just send the troops to complete the occupation and declare sovereignty. You don’t even need to travel far, I can precisely position them. Make it snappy, a word, yes or no?"

"Yes! Of course, yes!" Everyone present nodded repeatedly; with such favorable conditions, not doing it wasn’t an option.

Moreover, all these senior officials sensed what Ye Nai implied. What she’s accomplished is impossible to abandon. If the country doesn’t claim it, she’ll take it, and whose vast integrated territory it ends up being globally would be another matter entirely.

"A New Year’s Gala in the Otherworld by year-end?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have the say? Won’t it be overthrown when you go back?"

"No, you saw the letter of authorization. We have the say."

"This occupation doesn’t have to occupy the whole world at once." Vice Minister Cheng from logistics already had a plan in mind. "Occupy a few of the stronger countries first, so our personnel shifts and logistical pressure will be much smaller, and then slowly proceed."

"There’s another issue. We don’t have many translators familiar with the Otherworld’s language and script. Their deployment must be cautious," Vice Minister Su reminded.

"No worries, there’s a shortcut." Ye Nai immediately allayed everyone’s concern, "Rapid acquisition."

"Is it feasible?"

"How else do you think I acquired my language ability? You surely don’t think I spent a huge effort learning it in the Otherworld?"

"What rapid acquisition method?"

Ye Nai extended her hand, "Points."

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Vice Minister Cheng from logistics.

His secretary swiftly opened a blank document on the computer, ready to take instant notes.

Vice Minister Cheng cleared his throat.

"This point system must be determined by difficulty level, the harder, the lower the points, the easier, the higher."

"My rapid acquisition method is the simplest, so I should get the highest points."

"How fast is the effect? Is it only effective for you or does it work for a wider group?"

"I’ve used it on the Otherworldly, those noble buyers who were polite to me exchanged information using our Dahua language."

"Information?"

"They also have civil wars. I can earn a lot from selling information, using other languages risks leaks, but with our Dahua language, there’s no such issue."

Upon hearing this, everyone believed Ye Nai indeed had mastered a method for rapid foreign language acquisition because the nobles of the Otherworld certainly wouldn’t waste significant time learning a foreign language spontaneously. If they could happily conduct information business with Ye Nai, this rapid acquisition method must be simple and effortless.

"Can this rapid acquisition method be used by large numbers in a short time? If feasible, let all the teams sent to the Otherworld pass the language hurdle," Vice Minister Fan inquired.

"No problem."

"What is this rapid acquisition method? Did you find some kind of learning aid potion in the Otherworld?" Vice Minister Cheng speculated wildly.

"Much simpler than magic potions. With just a meal’s effort, you can master the language. If you’re willing to try, I’d let you converse freely with the captives instantly."
