Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

"...Nur Gana is incompetent! And Helheim, the plague god... is too troublesome..."

Goering muttered to himself and paced back and forth in his office in annoyance.

At his age, Goering no longer had any desire to climb the corporate ladder.

The best strategy is to keep your current position and retire safely with the money you earn.

Noor Gana is ruthless and vengeful, especially to his disobedient subordinates, and he never shows mercy.

He originally thought that as long as he was obedient, his status would not be affected.

However, the current situation is extremely dangerous and even the slightest mistake could lead to an abyss.

Goering had no responsibility for this incident, and he also thought about whether he should cut ties directly with Noor Ghana.

But once Noor Ghana has recovered, he will definitely settle accounts with himself afterwards.

It's never a good idea to make an enemy of that kind of guy.

Now we have no choice but to do this, and make sure not to get ourselves into trouble.

Goering called Senior Political Officer Gilder to his office.

Considering that Gilder has a closer relationship with Helheim, things would be much easier if he came forward.

After some explanation, Goering gently placed his hand on Gilder's shoulder.

"That's the basic situation. No matter what method you use, go and take over all the supplies in Helheim's hands immediately."

"what?"

Gilder's eyes widened at this sudden order.

Goering also understood the other party's feelings very well. In the empire, personal property is sacred and inviolable. No matter what the reason, robbing other people's property is an unacceptable act of robbery and will be treated as robbery.

"How about it? Gilder, can you do it?"

"No... That's impossible!"

"..."

Gilder's refusal was too blunt, and there was no hint of negotiation in his tone, which caught Goering off guard.

"You...are you planning to disobey my orders?"

"It's not that I, as a subordinate, don't obey your orders, but this order itself violates the laws of the empire. If I really follow your order, both you and I will have to go to jail. Don't you understand this?!"

"It's an emergency!"

"The law is the law. If we can do whatever we want just because it is an emergency, then what is the meaning of the laws of the empire?"

"You'd better understand the current situation. If the supply of materials to the front line is not restored as soon as possible, the credit of the entire East Territory will be greatly reduced..."

"No, not only that, the worst case scenario is that the entire Ostland's front line may collapse..."

Gilder corrected Goering.

Obviously, he is well aware of how bad the situation is.

And he thought further than Goering.

"...Yes, you know very well that for the sake of the empire, we can no longer care about so many things!"

Goering also found a point of entry for the dialogue. As long as national interests were used as a breakthrough, based on his understanding of Gilder, this man might be able to take the risk and do it.

"But why did the current situation develop?" Gilder suddenly changed the subject: "I submitted a policy proposal a few days ago. The hasty integration of existing transportation routes is likely to generate great risks. It was clearly stated in the proposal. Why did it end up like this?"

Gilder gave him a look that was somewhat reproachful, and his emotions became agitated.

"I...I understand how you feel...but...we must let cool heads prevail. Now is not the time to pursue these things. We are a team, and we need to unite and solve this problem together. This is the top priority!"

"Teamwork... Unity... I for everyone... Everyone for me... How dare you say that...! If you hadn't deliberately targeted Helheim, there would have been no way this problem would have happened!"

Gilder's tone became more intense.

"The original policy proposal was written by Helheim himself. Not only that, he even paid out of his own pocket to provide relief to those people who couldn't afford food. What are you doing?! The materials that were squeezed from the people ultimately failed to reach the front line because of your fault. Now you want me to confiscate the materials for relief to the people? I am a beast in an imperial uniform? How do you want the people to view us, the officials of the empire?!"

"..."

Gilder's attitude became increasingly tough.

But there is some truth in what he said.

If we send troops to rob this place, it will most likely cause a civil uprising.

We can only start from Helheim.

If you can negotiate, then negotiate. If negotiations fail and you have to use tough measures to force him to submit, you must do it in secret.

During this silence, Gilder crossed his arms and stared at Goering.

Feelings of boredom gushed out of him, and resistance emanated from his whole body.

Obviously, this person can no longer be relied upon.

"This... What's the point of saying this at this time! Besides, I don't want you to do it yourself, you can also let your subordinates do it!"

"Hmph... Lord Nur Gana gave you this task, and you turned around and threw this hot potato to me. Now you want me to pass the parcel to someone else? Haha... Well, then you go and give the order yourself! Let Moina and Lasolo, who you just transferred, do it!"

"..."

It is safe to let your subordinates do it so that if something goes wrong you can share the blame.

Although it's a bit despicable, everyone is doing it.

Why is he resisting so much?

"You should think about it again."

"I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse this matter. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, Gilder walked out of the office without looking back.

Goering was so angry that he kicked over his office chair.

"Damn it! This bastard Gilder has nothing but a big mouth! He scolds me but he can't help me at all!"

No... now is not the time to lose my temper. Since even Gilder can't be trusted, I have no choice but to take action myself.

He called Moina to his side, and together they went to La Solo's office to find Hel Heim.

These days, Moina and Lasoro have taken turns to deal with Helheim.

If these two people help, it should not be difficult to forcibly take over Helheim's supplies, no matter if it means beating him... no, even if it means beating Helheim to death, they must take over those supplies!

Of course, that would undoubtedly be a crime, and he absolutely could not give such an order directly.

We can only use indirect methods to ask Lasolo and others to do it.

Not only that, he would have to ensure his alibi in advance.

"Minister Goering, and Lord Moina, why are you here?" Secretary Edmund came over to greet the two.

"You guys have worked hard, and this time it's nothing serious... eh——?!"

As soon as he entered Lasoro's office, Goering stopped moving.

Because he saw Helheim sitting in the position of a mid-level political officer, and Lasoro standing beside him with lifeless eyes like a little punk.

As soon as Helheim noticed Goering, he smiled and nodded slightly to Goering.

"Is there something that has Minister Goering come here in person?" Hull didn't even stand up. He put his hands on the desk with his fingers crossed, looking at Goering with interest.

Like a poisonous snake sizing up its prey.

"No, that...what...hahahaha..."

Minister Goering smiled and leaned closer to Moina, whispering, "Um...how did you deal with Helheim? He should be very obedient now, right?"

Goering's tone was as if he was asking a trainer whether he had tamed the king of beasts in a cage.

"Haha... Of course, everything is fine..."

Although he received a positive response, for some reason, when Moina said this, his tone did not have the confidence he had when he reported the results in the past.

Goering also noticed that his eyes were always glancing towards Helheim, as if he was very afraid of him.

Goering couldn't help but wonder if he was hiding something from him.

"What are you talking about? Would it be convenient for me to listen too?" Helheim suddenly stood up.

Goering was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, while Moina was even more exaggerated. He ran to the door as if he was ready to escape at any time.

"Stop... come back..."

Like a trained puppy, Moina lowered his head and stood obediently in front of Helheim.

"So, Minister Goering, what happened?"
