205: Chapter 205 Unifying the Milky Way

Outer space of Planet Four.

Eighty thousand spaceships floated silently; the Canglan Empire's last remaining ship had already been destroyed.

"Master! Cangming is requesting to speak with you," the Red Queen's voice rang out.

"Connect it!" Su Fan said with a smile.

"Yes! Master!"

The communication was quickly connected, and Cangming's weathered face appeared on the large screen.

This time, Cangming had initiated a video call.

As soon as the video connected, Cangming's eyes locked onto Su Fan.

After a long silence, he spoke in a raspy voice, "What civilization are you from? I want to know the truth before I die!"

Su Fan smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and gave a brief four-word reply.

"Not telling you!"

"You! You invaders! You executioners!" Hearing Su Fan's indifferent tone, Cangming's eyes grew even redder.

"Why did you invade us!"

"Garbage! Bastard! Idiot..." A torrent of profanities spewed from Cangming's mouth; he had gone mad!

Su Fan frowned.

"Red Queen, cut the communication. This is pointless."

"Aim at Planet Four and fire a shot. I don't want to waste any more time taking prisoners!"

"Yes! Master!" the Red Queen replied.

With a thunderous boom, Planet Four exploded directly, and all the remaining remnants of the Canglan Empire on it perished.

"Give Planet Five a shot too," Su Fan continued to order.

Boom!

Planet Five exploded!

Su Fan then ordered all ships to conduct a thorough search of the Fran Star System. After confirming there were no other ships or life forms, they cleaned up the battlefield and collected a significant amount of loot.

From that point on, the Canglan Empire was completely extinct!

...

Upon returning to Xia Country, everyone became busy.

With the Canglan Empire destroyed, the mess of an entire Milky Way needed to be dealt with.

The first major task was taking over the Imperial Star. Regarding the Imperial Star, what Su Fan actually coveted most were those high-level cosmic rarities; he didn't think it was much different from other planets otherwise.

Although the Imperial Star's location was excellent, being in the central region of the Milky Way and making control of other regions more convenient.

However, Xia Country's current base was Blue Star. Moving to the Imperial Star abruptly would instead cause conflicts with the local inhabitants there.

Therefore, the Imperial Star's original inhabitants had to be cleared out.

Of course, 'clearing out' here didn't mean killing them, but rather transporting them to other planets to live.

Only in this way could the people of Xia Country settle in peacefully.

Regarding whether to keep Blue Star or make the Imperial Star the capital planet, the Xia Country high-level officials currently held three opinions.

The first was to keep Blue Star as the capital, the reason being that Blue Star was the birthplace of Xia Country, the ancestral star; keeping it as the Imperial Star would give the people of Xia Country a greater sense of belonging.

The second was to make the Imperial Star the capital, the reason being that its location was better and the planet's surface area was larger, allowing it to support more people.

The third was to make both Blue Star and the Imperial Star capitals simultaneously, adopting a dual-capital setup. Blue Star would be the political and cultural center with symbolic significance, while the Imperial Star would serve as the military and economic center, possessing regional advantages.

Those holding the three different opinions argued incessantly, unable to convince one another.

In the end, having no other choice, Su Fan and the Great Elder stepped in to make the final decision.

Xia Country's capital would be set at the Imperial Star, and its name would be changed to Ziwei Star. It would become the nation's political, military, and economic center, while the cultural center would be established on Blue Star.

The second major task was the 'Spiritual Genocide Plan' for the canglan people.

Su Fan had already discussed this with the Great Elder before, but at that time they had only decided on the general direction; a more detailed execution plan was needed next.

After many days of discussion with the Xia Country think tank, the execution steps for this plan were finally finalized.

Step one: Take over existing official positions!

Most of the former Canglan Empire's officials were actually still in their original positions, but their current lives could be described as suffering through every passing day.

Xia Country would proceed to send officials to directly take over most of the positions.

The reason it was 'most' and not 'all' was that Xia Country did not intend to directly take over positions that dealt directly with ordinary canglan people, only the key core positions.

Of course, for positions they didn't intend to take over directly, they would dispatch corresponding personnel to those posts to serve as inspectors.

Step two: Corrupt the Canglan officials!

After the smooth takeover of positions, those original Canglan Empire officials would have new arrangements; they would be granted new puppet positions according to the Spiritual Genocide Plan.

These positions could only rule over canglan people, not Xia Country people, and they had to govern the canglan people according to Xia Country's requirements.

If any officials were unwilling to do so, they would be executed immediately!

Step three: Urge puppet officials to establish Gendarmerie units!

Step four: Tailor an education system specifically for the canglan people!

Step five: Tailor a career advancement path specifically for the canglan people!

...

With these operations in place, once this generation of canglan people who experienced the war died out, starting from the second generation, they would be completely enslaved!

The third major task was population migration and resource redistribution.

Population migration involved both Xia Country people and canglan people.

Resource redistribution was even more important, involving the soldiers who followed the campaign, those who made significant contributions to the country, and ordinary civilians.

How to carry out reasonable resource allocation in the newly conquered territories was an important foundation for ensuring a country's stability.

Broadly speaking, good planets with rich resources and beautiful scenery must be given to Xia Country people.

Poor planets with scarce resources and harsh environments must be given to the canglan people.

Then, how to reasonably allocate the resource-rich planets to the Xia Country people?

This required careful study!

The fourth major task was optimizing the system.

The old Xia Country system was no longer suitable for the new Xia Country of the interstellar era; it had to be optimized and adjusted.

This was another massive workload; the system was the safeguard, and there could be no room for sloppiness!

Besides these major tasks, there were many miscellaneous things to be done.

In any case, ever since completely wiping out the Canglan Empire and returning to Blue Star, Su Fan had not been idle.

Meetings every day—morning meetings, evening meetings, and midnight meetings!

If not for his excellent physical constitution, back in the old era of Xia Country, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago with this intensity of work!

And so, time passed quickly amidst the busyness.

October 1, 2250.

A grand meeting was held on Ziwei Star, the capital planet of Xia Country!

Countless Xia Country people who had already migrated to Ziwei Star excitedly turned on their 3D projections to experience this historical moment firsthand!

During this meeting, three major matters concerning the national destiny of Xia Country were determined.

First, restructuring.

Xia Country's highest leadership was changed to a Speaker and Councilor system, with 2 Speakers and 10 Councilors.

Second, elections.

Su Fan was elected as the Speaker of Xia Country, and Elder Xia (the Great Elder) was elected as the Deputy Speaker.

In addition, the other 10 Councilors were also elected.

Third, changing the era.

The calendar system was redefined, abolishing the Anno Domini (A.D.) system and defining a new calendar—the star calendar!

October 1, 2250 A.D. was recorded as Day 1, Month 1, Year 1 of the star calendar.

From then on, Xia Country unified the Milky Way, becoming the true ruler of the galaxy!
