Chapter 480: Kuzan's Admiral Promotion Mission!
The 'Koreans' of 'Great Cold Korea' were nearly driven mad.
Because the notice from the Otherworld Strategy Committee was not only sent to the country's Higher-ups in written form, it was also directly announced to the entire country via Visual Den Den Mushi set up in the central areas of various Cities, in the form of a 'virtual video'.
This left the Officials of 'Great Cold Korea' with no room to suppress the News, and also caused the 'Koreans' to suffer the most intense mental Impact.
Just like that, they suddenly became Slaves of a destroyed nation?
"Why!!!"
A young student wearing a black school uniform, carrying a backpack, and standing in the Capital's Central Plaza, roared furiously at the 'virtual large screen' in Mid-air.
His name was Kim Sung-il, a second-year high school student.
Originally, he held an Attitude of worship and longing towards the appearance of the World Government, single-mindedly thinking of studying hard, mastering enough Knowledge, and then getting into the 'Second Special Zone' to become a Researcher at the 'Academy of Science Demon Slayer World Branch'.
This way, he would have the chance to visit that World called World, or even immigrate there with his Family.
But he never expected that the World Government would directly destroy his own Country, and even turn everyone, including himself, into Slave-like Labor Force.
What else could this be but a Slave of a destroyed nation?
For him, this was no less than a Nuclear Bomb exploding in his mind!
"Exactly, why should our Country be destroyed!"
"What Labor Force conscription? I'm not going!"
"Right, not going!"
"Damn the World Government, get out of our World!"
Kim Sung-il's single Roar instantly ignited the tens of thousands of men and women in the Plaza. They clenched their teeth and waved their fists, continuously cursing the 'National Destruction notice' on the 'Virtual Screen'.
And such a scene was playing out in various Cities across 'Great Cold Korea'.
Not only that.
Countless people took to the Streets, spontaneously surging towards the Administration buildings in each City for so-called street protests and demonstrations, demanding that the Country organize its Army and prepare for full confrontation with the World Government.
Especially in the Capital, the Scale reached an unprecedented level, as if everyone in the entire City had left their homes. All the Main Roads and Streets and Alleys were filled with dense crowds.
At this moment.
Extreme Anger seemed to make them forget the terrifying Strength of the World Government.
However, these Citizens might have forgotten, but the Higher-ups Officials of 'Korea' had vivid memories, after all, it had only been a year since the World Government's Conquest of the Demon Slayer World.
Inside the Korea Higher-ups Meeting Room, over a dozen Military and Political High Command gathered.
"Mr. President, the Ministry of National Defense reports that the Mengma Empire and the Hairy Bear Nation have blockaded our border connecting to the Continent, and furthermore, our coastline has been surrounded by the Fleet of the World Government's 'Second Special Zone'!"
After hearing the young Official's words, the Korean President's already grim Expression turned even paler, and the other High-Ranking Officials and Officers were also furious.
"It's one thing for the World Government to have been prepared, but these damn France and Hairy Bear are kicking us while we're down too!"
"Now we're done for, there's nowhere to run even if we wanted to."
"So what do we do now?"
At this moment, sitting in the second Seat to the President's left, a bald man in an expensive Suit said softly with a hesitant Expression: "What do you think, can we talk with the World Government?"
He was the largest chaebol in 'Great Cold Korea', the Family Head of the Lee family, and the chairman of 'Sambong Group', Lee Woo-deok.
"Uh, talk about what?"
The Korean President asked doubtfully, and the other Military and Political High Command also turned their Gaze towards him.
"Talk about whether we Higher-ups and Nobles can receive Preferential Treatment, for example, allowing us to move to the 'Second Special Zone' to live, perhaps having a chance to become Citizens of the World Government."
Lee Woo-deok said with an Expressionless face.
"Hmm?!"
The President and others were stunned for a moment, but hope immediately arose in their Hearts, and their Gaze also flickered continuously. Since resistance was impossible, perhaps they could strive to join the World Government.
As for the conditions, those were easy to talk about!
Their bargaining chip was the entire 'Great Cold Korea'. Even giving away all the Country's Wealth and Technology was not out of the question.
"Cough cough!"
Finally, the Korean President cleared his Throat and nodded calmly.
"It can be considered."
Immediately, the others also reacted.
"Yes, yes, yes, we can definitely talk!"
"Exactly, the direct Family members of us here add up to less than a hundred people. The World Government will definitely agree for us to cooperate well!"
"That's right, as long as they allow us to relocate to the 'Second Special Zone', we will fully help the World Government stabilize the Country's Situation and make the people below obedient!"
As they spoke, these people quieted down, but the cold light in their Gazes as they looked at each other was chilling.
They were preparing to sell the entire Country and its Citizens, because they could lose their Country, but they didn't want to become Slaves!
Soon.
These people's idea was quickly sent as a Telegram to the World Government Branch in the 'Second Special Zone' in the name of national diplomacy. There was no other way, as they didn't have good things like Transponder Snails.
"Heh heh, they really think highly of themselves, these arrogant and foolish 'Koreans'~~"
Addison disdainfully crumpled the Telegram in his hand, casually threw it into the Trash can not far away, then turned the leather chair he was sitting on to face the wide Floor-to-Ceiling Window, his deep Gaze looking out towards the clear blue Sky in the direction of the 'Korean Peninsula'.
He understood very clearly that the Big Shots on the Sea Star Mainland were planning to swallow the entire 'Great Cold Korea' this time and turn it into much-needed Labor Force.
This kind of Matter was not the first or second time the World Government had done it.
Before long, all the 'Koreans' would have to pass through the 'Medium Star Gate' to enter the 'Titan World', and then start a new life on the other side, the 'Canberra Continent/Australia'.
That's over ten million Population! Even excluding the old, weak, sick, and disabled, it's enough to support the initial Project construction!
"However, before the main Troops arrive, we can have them help suppress the Riots. Otherwise, if the chaos is too great, it will definitely give the Higher-ups a not-so-good impression."
Minister Addison thought of this, turned back again, and then took out a blank Document to write on.
He was preparing to use some ambiguous words to make the Korean Presidents think he had agreed to their request, and then ask them to first complete their own Mission.
If they did it well, the Treatment might be even better~
Over in the 'Titan World'.
Im also saw the 'National Destruction Decision' of the 'Otherworld Strategy Committee' regarding 'Great Cold Korea'. To be honest, this had nothing to do with him; it was entirely decided by the people below.
However, he also understood that this process would definitely trigger a large number of Riots and bloodshed.
After all, no matter the place, there would always be people willing to fight to the death. It was not at all strange for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of resisters to emerge from a Population of over ten million.
"Oh? Are they going to have Aokiji lead the suppression?"
Im immediately understood the Five Elders' idea. This was actively giving Kuzan one last wave of Military Merit, after which he could naturally be promoted to Marine Admiral.
It was just that he felt that with Kuzan's Personality, he might not be able to handle such a cruel Mission.
"Alright then, the Other World Conquest in the Future will definitely become increasingly cruel. It's also a good thing if this guy can realize this sooner." Im sighed inwardly.
Besides, they weren't asking Kuzan to carry out some kind of Massacre.
Suddenly.
Im inexplicably thought of something else: "Speaking of which, it's already the year 1500. Isn't that archaeological expedition team from Ohara coming back soon?"
"I wonder how many locations of 'Poneglyph' they've found for me."
