Reincarnated with a Country Creation System

Alexander nodded, his gaze sweeping over the reception hall once more, ensuring that everything was in place. Every detail had been meticulously planned, from the arrangement of the seating to the placement of the Valorian and Zambesian flags. The significance of this meeting was not lost on him—this was a moment that would define Valoria\'s standing on the global stage.

"Fifteen minutes huh? Well, where do I sit?"

Julieanne gestured toward the head of the long, ornately decorated table that dominated the center of the reception hall.

"Your seat is at the head of the table, Your Excellency," she replied.

Alexander nodded approvingly, his eyes lingering on the chair that awaited him. The chair was grand, with high-backed velvet upholstery and intricate carvings that matched the grandeur of the Volkshalle.

As the moments passed, Alexander walked towards his designated seat, his footsteps echoing softly in the grand hall. He moved with deliberate grace, knowing that every eye in the room was on him. When he reached the chair, he paused, placing a hand on the backrest and surveying the room once more.

"I want everything to go smoothly," Alexander said.

"We cannot afford any missteps. This is not just a meeting—it\'s a demonstration of our capability and resolve."

Julieanne nodded, standing close by, ready to assist at a moment\'s notice. "Everything is in place, Your Excellency. The staff is well-prepared, and all contingencies have been considered. We are ready."

Fifteen minutes later, the grand doors to the reception hall began to open, revealing the Zambesian diplomats. They entered the hall with a composed and measured pace, their expressions calm but filled with curiosity as they took in the opulence of the Volkshalle.

The grandeur of the hall seemed to momentarily awe them, but they quickly recovered, their gazes turning to Alexander, who stood at the head of the table.

"Your Excellency, the diplomats from the Kingdom of Zambesi," Julieanne announced.

Alexander scanned the diplomats. As expected from someone born in the Black Continent, they have a black skin tone. Usually, people hailing from the Black Continent are frowned upon, discriminated against, and considered inferior. Well, that might be true due to the fact that almost the entire continent was a colony of the western empires.

However, these men carried themselves with a dignity and confidence that belied the stereotypes often associated with their homeland. They were not here to be subjugated or patronized; they were here to negotiate as equals.

Once the diplomats neared Alexander, Alexander stood up from his seat, offering a polite nod in greeting.

"Welcome to Valoria," Alexander said. "Please, take your seats."

The Zambesian diplomats settled into their seats, their eyes briefly scanning the room before focusing on Alexander.

Chief Mosi, the leader of the Zambesian delegation, spoke first. "Your Excellency, we thank you for your hospitality and the opportunity to engage in this important discussion. The Kingdom of Zambesi is keen on exploring mutual benefits between our nations, particularly in the areas of trade and development."

The translator continued, relaying Chief Mosi\'s words to Alexander in a clear, respectful tone. Alexander listened intently, his expression thoughtful as he considered the implications of their opening statement.

"I see…well that is the goal of this event. We are to establish diplomatic relationships with one another. Now, without further ado, we shall start with the preliminaries which I am certain that my Minister of State already briefed you on?"

"Yes that is correct, I met with your Minister of State."

"And I do believe that there was a problem during your first encounter but was resolved on the second?" Alexander continued.

"I trust that any misunderstandings have been fully addressed. It is imperative that we move forward without any lingering issues that could impede our progress."

Chief Mosi nodded, his expression remaining composed. "Indeed, Your Excellency. The initial difficulties were a result of cultural differences and misunderstandings, but they have been resolved. We are ready to engage in meaningful dialogue and to explore the opportunities that lie ahead for both our nations."

"Good," Alexander replied, his gaze steady as he looked across the table. "In diplomacy, transparency and mutual respect are key. I am confident that we can work together to build a partnership that benefits both Valoria and Zambesi. Now, let\'s get started. First, your country, what can it offer to Valoria? For us, we can provide technology to modernize your nation."

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Zambesi is blessed with abundant natural resources. We have vast reserves of gold and a wide array of minerals. We can offer you mining rights to some of our richest deposits," Chief Mosi replied.

He continued, "Moreover, we have recently discovered significant oil fields in the northern regions of our country. This discovery presents a tremendous opportunity for both of our nations. With Valoria\'s technological expertise, we believe we can develop these resources efficiently and to the mutual benefit of our peoples."

Alexander leaned back in his chair, carefully considering Chief Mosi\'s words. The prospect of securing access to gold, minerals, and especially oil was exactly the kind of thing that he wanted for his nation. After all, he can\'t rely on the system all the time for raw materials. They needed a stable source from the planet itself if they wanted to be self-sufficient.

"Your offer is indeed valuable, Chief Mosi," Alexander replied thoughtfully. "Valoria\'s technology and infrastructure development capabilities could certainly assist in unlocking the full potential of your nation\'s resources. In return, we would expect favorable terms on trade agreements and long-term access to these resources."

Chief Mosi nodded. "That is exactly what we had in mind, Your Excellency. We are prepared to negotiate terms that will ensure a prosperous future for both our nations. The resources of Zambesi are vast, and with the right partnership, we can achieve great things."

The conversation continued, with both sides delving into the specifics of potential agreements, from the percentage of resource extraction to infrastructure projects and the involvement of Valorian companies in Zambesi\'s development.

"We seem to be in agreement on many points," Alexander finally said, a slight smile forming on his lips. "I believe we are on the path to a fruitful partnership, one that will elevate both Valoria and Zambesi to new heights."

Chief Mosi returned the smile, a sense of accomplishment evident in his expression. "Indeed, Your Excellency. This is the beginning of a new era for both our nations."

"The last thing we are going to do is to wait for the official papers to be finalized and signed. Once everything is in order, we can begin signing the agreements and move forward with our plans," Alexander concluded.
