Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

In a dazzling and dim room in the East Territory, Gus lay on the sofa, burying his face in the chest of a blonde.

Gass, who was wearing a diaper, showed off to the middle-aged woman while acting coquettishly.

“I did work very hard and did a lot of things.”

"Yes, yes, it's amazing." The woman held Ghaith as if he were a baby.

"Cough cough cough..." A cough sound was heard.

Gus stood up with a bang, turned around and saw a black-haired young man standing at the door.

"H... Helheim Political Officer?! Why...why are you here?"

"I invited him here."

"Secretary Mor Bandes! Isn't this...a secret between the two of us?"

While saying this.

More Bandes covered his mouth with his palm and leaned close to Hull, whispering something in his ear.

"…It is very rude to suddenly interrupt someone's good time in such an occasion."

After listening to More Bandes' explanation, Hull nodded and said, "Really? I'm really sorry. I'm not used to such occasions, and I'm very tight on time. Please allow me to get straight to the point. Minister Gass, you don't have to worry about me. Just continue to suck your breast milk and listen carefully."

"..."

Gus's face turned red with shame. He had no interest in continuing and quickly asked the blonde woman to leave.

"Thanks to your outstanding acting skills, you have successfully aroused the suspicion of Major General Masayin about Nur Gana. At the suggestion of Major General Masayin, Nur Gana has now officially fallen. However, although you were acting on orders, corruption is also a fact, and demotion is inevitable."

"It's a demotion... not a direct dismissal?"

In the empire, corruption is a very serious crime, and dismissal is the lightest level of punishment. In the worst case, assets and territory will be confiscated, and the person will be thrown into prison to await execution.

If it's just a demotion, it's already a lenient punishment.

"I have asked Minister Moina to write a confession and submit it. Adam Barno, a senior governor in the imperial capital, is now under investigation for corruption. In addition to them, dozens of corrupt and incompetent officials in the East Territory have been implicated. Compared with their crimes, your crime is relatively minor. It can be said that you can hide the tree in the forest."

"Moreover, you have made great contributions this time, and your talents have been recognized by Acting Governor Gilder and Minister of Resources of Ganasde. A mere demotion of one or half a level is a minor punishment. You should continue to focus on the practical work of the Ministry of Transportation and make good use of your expertise.

"...Gilder is going to take over as the Acting Archon?! Um... isn't it Minister Goering who will take over?"

"I'm afraid he will be promoted directly to the senior governor of East Territory by the Central Government. Nur Gana has a lot of evidence of Adam Barno's corruption. This time, he has handed over all the evidence he has collected over the years in order to atone for his sins."

"……I see."

This is also one of the risk avoidance measures adopted by Noor Ghana.

In order to have more cards to play in an emergency, or to threaten his superiors, Noor Ghana spent a lot of money to conduct a detailed investigation on Adam Barno over the years.

In this matter, the intelligence he obtained was even more sufficient than the evidence Hull had in his hands.

——This was an unexpected result, which saved Hull a lot of effort.

The denunciation of Adam Barno was led by Goering, who took the lead in submitting it to the Central Government.

This was also the last time Goering and Noor Ghana worked together.

The former consul's agent provided evidence, and the successor consul's agent reported it. Even if the central government wanted to cover up, it could not.

Adam Barno's ouster is a foregone conclusion.

The central government would naturally reward such bold and courageous revelations, so Goering became the undisputed best candidate for the high-ranking governor of the East Territory.

However, according to Herr's analysis, Goering's political career could only go this far at best.

The empire would certainly not tolerate corruption. Likewise, as an organizational structure, the empire could not tolerate an official who committed crimes against his superiors becoming powerful.

Goering's act of reporting would certainly be regarded as a positive example and received considerate praise and encouragement at the beginning, but as time goes by, the limelight of this matter will gradually fade, and Goering will become a discarded pawn and will never have the opportunity for promotion.

——No superior will allow subordinates to inform on others. In order to secure their own positions, other superiors will certainly suppress such "unhealthy practices."

Therefore, Hull hinted to Goering to come out and do this.

Of course, such things are difficult to keep secret. If you investigate carefully, you can find clues left by Hull behind the scenes.

However, in official channels, the denunciation was led by Goering, and Hull was at most just offering advice. Although this would make some superiors dissatisfied, it did not reach the level of being collectively targeted.

In this way, you can accomplish what you want to do without being held accountable, which saves you a lot of trouble.

The reason why Geiss was so curious about Goering's fate was mainly because of the scene performed for Major General Masain.

Goering was responsible for playing the victim, while Ghaith was the accomplice of the perpetrator, and Noor Ghana was made the perpetrator.

In other words, they were the main actors in this drama.

The person who wrote the script behind the scenes was naturally Helheim. If Goering could be rewarded afterwards, then I who made the mistake should also be forgiven.

——He just wanted to feel at ease.

Hull naturally saw through Gass's concerns - he was afraid that Hull would cross the river and then destroy the bridge, and then abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose.

After a few seconds of thinking, since Gus was so curious, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

"As the representative of the Changliu Center, the senior consul will have more negotiation work. Compared with the administrative level of ruling the territory, it requires more communication skills to coordinate the upper and lower levels. As the Minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Goering is responsible for the communication of information all year round. Naturally, he is very suitable for this position. Moreover, he has already obtained his favorite toy (Nur Gana who has become a slave). Now he is full of energy and he will definitely be able to handle this heavy responsibility."

Of course, Hull had no intention of relaxing his surveillance on him.

Even if there is a magic contract to maintain the master-servant relationship, there is no guarantee that Goering will not do something stupid.

To this end, Hel had proposed to promote Secretary Schneider to the position of Chief Secretary under the Senior Consul (a two-level promotion) and have him work at the Central Government with Goering. Gilder also nodded to this proposal. His meaning was very clear. He hoped that Secretary Schneider could become a bridge of communication between the East Territory, the Senior Consul, and Helheim.

Similarly, by holding Goering in his hand, East Territory can also become a card in Hull's hand in the future.

"Well, that's all I have to say. Do you have any other questions?"

This should be considered to have solved the problem with Gais, right?

Hull came here specifically to recruit Gus for his own use.

After Hull leaves East Territory, he will have to pay more attention to the transportation route in the Red Viper Desert.

The public does not have to worry at all, but the implementation of transportation requires the support of the Ministry of Transport. With it, the transportation route across the Red Viper Desert will be completed as the last piece of the puzzle.

"Well..." Gus raised his right hand with a serious expression: "Is there no other punishment for me?"

"…Do you want to be dismissed?"

"No, if it's just a demotion, this punishment is too light. I'm very uneasy. Is there a more physical punishment?"

"This... I don't want to waste my time on physical punishment. As you can see, I have no interest in beating others up."

If Lasoro were here, he would definitely say that Lord Helheim is so kind.

——It’s a pity that he is not here.

"But! If I continue like this, my guilt will... I need more punishment to make myself at peace! Please! No matter how hard you whip me, I am willing to accept the punishment! Otherwise, I really can't get over it!"

Gus was already lying on the ground, his head lowered towards Hull.

"I beg you!"

"Uh..." When Hull showed an embarrassed expression, More Bandes stood up.

"Then leave this matter to me."

Mor Bandes walked up to Gass and squatted down, with an "I understand you" expression on his face, and patted Gass on the shoulder.

"As a fellow practitioner, I know what kind of punishment you want to receive... I will find someone to satisfy you... I will take you to the new store I have wanted to recommend to you for a long time..."

Hull smiled bitterly. He often seemed out of place with people like them because he was not perverted enough.

"Well, have fun... come to me for reimbursement of your expenses later..." After saying that, Hull left time for them.

It can be regarded as a reward from Hull to them.
