585 – Annihilation (2)
Isaac created numerous idioms and words by borrowing memories from his past lives.
Thanks to this, not only the language of the world has become richer, but also the power of expression has been greatly improved.
Was it difficult for newly created words and idioms? that’s not it either
Isaac had predicted this in advance, so he himself annotated it. If there were no annotations, it would have become a collection of questions for the college entrance exam that he was so sarcastic about.
In this way, Isaac made great progress not only in literature but also in linguistics. This is a fact that I am aware of, so I am not taking it seriously.
But if you dig in well, it’s so diverse that you can’t break the brains of linguists and send them out of windows. Again, it’s not complex, it’s diverse.
The way we combine two words, the way we turn verbs into adjectives, the way we turn nouns into verbs, and so on.
It lays the cornerstones of modern language very neatly. Even the language is not messy, and it is divided in an orderly manner.
The books before the release of Zeno’s biography were overflowing with things that were not used in real life, but Zeno’s biography is the complete opposite.
For linguists, research subjects have piled up like a mountain. In particular, blood and steel is a sufficient sense of research by itself.
Isaac is a living being, not only current linguists, but also future linguists, as well as being greedy for each other.
If so, why are you explaining this?
“The manuscript came today as well.”
“Is that person just eating and writing?”
“Probably so. Or written in advance.”
“Ehh.”
This is because linguists are working as editors at Musk’s publishing house.
Musk’s publisher originally had a separate editorial department, but it was further expanded from the middle of Zenon’s life.
Of course, this is to ensure that the manuscript can be reviewed and released as soon as it is received, and although that rarely happens, it is to find typos and inscriptions.
However, as I said before, Isaac is a writer who has reached the stage of recreating the current language beyond the level of playing with it at will.
I brought back idioms and words from my previous life, but to the people of this world, they are something beyond a neologism.
Therefore, we needed someone who was fluent in the language, not an ordinary editor. A suitable manpower was a linguist.
Musk was able to recruit linguists as editors through the connections he had built so far.
“Why did I say I was doing this?”
Of course, linguists were not always editors. I’d rather be a professor, why would I be an editor?
Isaac’s reputation is certainly excellent enough to be placed right below God, but his pride did not allow him to become an editor.
“But they give a lot of money.
“I can’t deny it.”
However, the salary was too high to refuse. As everyone knows, Musk is a person who spares no money for talent.
Even from the point of view of a linguist, money is paid at an enormous level, and you can study the language of Isaac, which is emerging as a topical research sensation.
It’s literally killing two birds with one stone. For reference, even the expression killing two birds with one stone was an idiom that did not exist originally, but Isaac coined it anew.
And today, the editorial department was working hard, no, laboring. It is thanks to the sudden pouring of manuscripts.
“Today’s overtime is confirmed.”
“I don’t know if there was a day when I didn’t work overtime. How long will this day last?”
“The boss said it would be like this for a month.”
“Sigh······”
The editor-in-chief and linguist, Müller, did not reprimand the subordinate’s sigh. Because I wanted to breathe.
Originally, it wasn’t that busy. Recently, however, manuscripts have suddenly started to be sent out at the rate of one every three days.
Of course, it is the editorial department that is dying. The life story of Zenon was okay, but the blood and steel made my head explode.
“Boss.”
“What, again.”
“I have one bad news and one worse news. Shall I tell you first?”
A subordinate who was working in a bad situation brought bad news.
Müller, who was drinking coffee and chasing fatigue, heard the news and opened his mouth with a relieved face. I’ve already given up half way.
“Bad news first.”
“A cursory glance shows that there are numerous stories related to the sea. They are mainly about naval battles.”
“sea fight?”
“Yes.”
It’s spectacle. The only word that came to Müller’s mind was spectacle.
The sea is known as an environment created by demons, but the worldview in Blood and Steel was just a ‘stage’.
You can come and go freely, even if you don’t completely dominate. This is possible because marine monsters, including the Kraken, do not exist.
But at the same time it meant that all sorts of new words were pouring in. Besides, since it was a naval battle, a strange idiom would come out.
“Fortunately, the Battle of Britain was fought in the air. The sea might be better. Worse news?”
“At the end, Nazi Germany starts a meeting in Wanze. But everything is fine, but certain words are a little strange. No. It’s not strange…”
A subordinate tilting his head as if he was uncomfortable with something. This subordinate is also a linguist.
Müller became editor-in-chief because his reputation, honor, and skills were several orders of magnitude higher than others. But he waited in silence.
It was a style of listening to the opinions of others rather than saying that he was right with an awake way of thinking.
Part of this is that Isaac is a bit like England. There are a lot of things that are difficult to figure out unless you use collective intelligence.
“Speak quickly. We don’t have time.”
“Can I speak?”
“You know that this man is a devil. Up until now, hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered in Poland alone.”
The first half of Blood and Steel is Hitler’s revival of Nazi Germany. Therefore, even though there may be a dirty side, many positive aspects have been covered.
To raise people who are in despair with speeches and achievements. Recruit strong supporters and solidify the inside.
Furthermore, the capture of France, the eternal enemy and the defeat of Germany in the Great War, and so on.

Looking at Nazi Germany as the main character, there are many positive points, and the atmosphere itself was good in its own way.
Until the outbreak of the Toxin War.
“Whenever they have a chance, they cause massacre after massacre, and they are persecuting Jews. Even Ukraine welcomed Nazi Germany at first, and then it was rewarded with massacres, right?”
The time when Nazi Germany turned into a villain in earnest. The atmosphere suddenly changed as the evil nature that had been hidden was revealed to the world.
Hitler turned into a villain that must be stopped, and Nazi Germany was reborn as the final boss.
The problem is that the reality is that you can’t stop it even if you know it. Even though Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States entered the war, the war situation is still unfavorable.
Even Moscow is driven to the brink of fall. The Soviet Union has to hold out somehow, but the odds are slim.
“If Moscow is occupied, something worse will happen, so let’s move on.”
“I think it’s more serious than that…”
“Then don’t just talk and quickly bring the manuscript! Don’t just talk!”
At Müller’s intimidation, a subordinate hurriedly brought the manuscript. However, not only the plaintiff but also other employees returned together.
“What is it? Why are you guys here?”
“Actually, we reviewed it among ourselves beforehand.”
“Then you can just pay.”
“It’s better to see it once.”
When the subordinate politely handed over the manuscript, Müller was puzzled but silently accepted it. It is the cause of overtime work and a manuscript that makes people vomit even just looking at it.
I’m saying it just in case, but it’s that the toe is focused in a different way, it’s not that I hate it. It’s a food line that will last the rest of my life, so I can’t hate it.
I just hate it as an office worker, but as a linguist, I liked it like a child because each book was the subject of research.
“Wanje meeting? Can we start with that?”
“Yes. It is a naval battle between Japan and England until the Wannsee conference. By the way, the British have been defeated.”
“You lie down for a moment.”
All spoilers should be followed. At Müller’s calm yet furious order, the subordinate immediately prostrated himself.
Everything is good, but there are guys who have problems with their mouths everywhere. Müller clicked his tongue and turned the pages.
As the subordinate said, the Banze meeting was at the conclusion.
“Let’s see…”
Müller put on his glasses and began to look at the manuscript. At first, there seemed to be nothing to touch.
The words and sentences themselves were plain, and no new idioms appeared. It was literally a meeting.
Because of the Nuremberg Laws of 1933, Jews were horribly discriminated against by Nazi Germany.
Unable to withstand the discrimination, more than half of them emigrated to other countries, and thanks to this, the traces of Jews in Germany have faded.
‘It sounds like a damn pronunciation.’
Here comes the reason why linguists have a particular dislike for blood and steel. Pronunciations and words that are just as damn difficult.
Isaac Tanye worked hard to make the pronunciation as similar as possible, but from the point of view of the people of this world, even the pronunciation is a difficult word.
It’s okay if only certain words are difficult, but all things related to Germany were difficult to pronounce.
However, these characteristics enriched the charm of Nazi Germany and contributed to its increased popularity.
It was one of the reasons that made me feel that it was a completely different world. It was an asshole to linguists.
‘Goering? Wasn’t this human fired?’
The subject of the Wannsee Conference was, as I said, Jews. Nazi Germany swept all over Europe, and naturally Jews also increased.
Especially in Eastern Europe, there were quite a lot of Jews, and Hermann Goering, the second-in-command of Nazi Germany, who confirmed this, came up with a ‘final solution’.
The target is Reinhard Heydrich, the head of the Gestapo (secret police). and the Nazi SS.
If you look at this far, you would have thought that Jews would be used as a labor force and moved on.
“Well?”
But a strange word caught Müller’s eye. He fixed his glasses and stared at the word.
“Extinction? What does this mean?”
It was a new word for Müller. The most important word even though it seems to have a strong impact.
It was so important that the atmosphere would change rapidly if I put another word in place of the location of annihilation.
Salvation is the subject of salvation, and if it is massacre, massacre becomes the subject.
It was an unfamiliar word to Müller, so he passed it aside even though he was curious. Isaac would have kindly ‘commented’ it.
However, even going back, there was no interpretation of extinction. It just continued that everyone agreed with Heydrich’s argument.
Eventually, the manuscript was finished with the signature of ‘approval of the final solution’ written on the document. If you’ve only seen it this far, it wouldn’t have been much of a big deal.
[Extinction: to completely disappear or get rid of]
“·······?”
If you missed the short comment on the last page.
Müller blinked a couple of times and turned the front page of the manuscript again. Knowing the meaning of annihilation, the contents were quite astonishing.
Go beyond persecuting the Jews and exterminate them all. In other words, it meant killing all Jews.
If you only listen to this, you can say that it is not too artificial, but Nazi Germany has already had a history of executing ‘Operation T4’.
A project that is not designed at all, but rather enhances the ‘evil’ of Nazi Germany. An executive order for man to man slaughter.
‘Did this human annotate it wrong?’
It was when I thought of that for a moment.
“I’ll tell you in advance just in case, but I said I didn’t misinterpret it.”
“Then what does this really mean…?”
“Yes. And based on our research, it seems to be a slightly modified word for extinction. It’s just people.”
It even led to the death of a subordinate employee. Müller stared blankly at the word annihilation, then involuntarily moved his hand to his face.
The place where his hand arrived was the philtrum, that is, the beard. Not Hitler’s unique toothbrush beard, but a lush Kaiser beard like Stalin’s.
thank god. Müller thought to himself, then shifted his gaze to his subordinates.
He said that he was pursuing a ‘cool villain’, and he saw his subordinates wearing toothbrush beards according to fashion.
After that, he put the manuscript on the desk and opened his mouth.
“Does anyone need a razor?”
