Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Gustav sat on the throne, his face grave as he reviewed the ledgers in his hands. Each page recorded shocking cases of corruption. And all the records stopped abruptly in this year. Gustav knew without a doubt that all of this was related to Morpheus.

Minister Neumann stood below the throne. He knew that Gustav was in a heavy mood, but he still had to speak: "Your Majesty, judging from the number of people involved and the scale of the army, the situation is far more serious than we imagined."

"The rebellion in the Northwest has just been quelled. If we put too much pressure on the army at this time, this old minister fears it will backfire."

Gustav raised his head, his eyes fixed on Neumann with a piercing gaze, and angrily asked: "Fear? Are you afraid they will revolt? Just because we are afraid, are we to turn a blind eye to these corrupt officials?"

Neumann felt the emperor's anger, but he still insisted: "Your Majesty, that is not what this old minister meant."

"It's just that these are troubled times. Although the rebellion in the Northwest has been quelled, the aftermath has not subsided. If internal turmoil arises within the army again, I fear it will be detrimental to the stability of the nation."

Hearing this, Gustav took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. He knew that Neumann's concerns were not unreasonable, but the anger in his heart was difficult to quell.

Finance Minister Horns stood in the court, his expression grave as he offered his suggestion: "Your Majesty,

we can make an issue out of the Northwest war."

Although his voice was steady, it was difficult to hide the tension and worry within it.

Emperor Gustav frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Horns with a piercing gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about it."

Horns took a deep breath and began to elaborate on his plan in detail: "Your Majesty, our primary task at present is to ensure the security of the capital. Recently, the imperial army has been reorganized, forming the new First and Second Legions. I suggest that we take this opportunity to replace all the officers of these two legions with new people."

He paused for a moment, and continued: "The advantage of doing this is that the new officers are relatively more incorruptible,

at least we can ensure that they will not be corrupted in the short term. At the same time, we will transfer all the armies suspected of corruption to some unimportant areas to garrison, and replace them with the First and Second Legions, so that we can at least ensure the security of the capital."

After listening, Gustav's eyes flashed with a hint of approval. He nodded slightly, signaling Horns to continue.

At this time, Special Minister Rainsky also stood up and added: "Your Majesty, Minister Horns's suggestion is very pertinent. On this basis, I suggest that Kabrons slowly investigate the officers involved in the case, and take them away in batches to ensure the stability of the army. At the same time, I believe that Military Minister Breuer should be transferred back to the capital to take charge. He has high prestige and strong ability. Once a mutiny or other emergency occurs, even if he loses the leadership of the officers involved, Breuer will be enough to hold the scene."

After listening, Emperor Gustav pondered for a moment, and finally slowly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Rezel stepped forward and offered his suggestion: "Your Majesty, the situation is unstable at this time,

I believe that the Crown Prince should be transferred back to the capital. His Highness the Crown Prince has always been prestigious in the army and is deeply loved by the soldiers. His return will surely stabilize the morale of the army and deter those who harbor evil intentions."

Rezel's suggestion made Gustav's eyes light up. He was about to nod in agreement, when he suddenly heard the three ministers exclaim in unison: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Gustav was stunned for a moment and looked at them in confusion.

The three ministers looked at each other, and Horns, as their representative, explained: "Your Majesty, although His Highness the Crown Prince has high prestige, it is not wise to transfer him back to the capital at this time. First, His Highness the Crown Prince's military operations on the Northwest frontier have not yet been completely concluded, and leaving at this time may affect the overall situation; second, His Highness the Crown Prince's subordinates are all new troops, and he is in charge of the important city of Fulga. As long as he is stationed in Fulga, even if the situation in the Northwest deteriorates, it will not be completely chaotic."

After listening, Gustav fell into deep thought. He knew that the three ministers' concerns were not unreasonable. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

Neumann pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, I believe that we can first send a highly respected minister to take charge in the Northwest. Chancellor Robert should be returning soon, and we can ask him to go to the Northwest to replace Breuer."

"At the same time!" Horns took over the conversation, "We should form a large-scale militia. In this way, even if internal turmoil occurs, we will have enough strength to stabilize the situation."

The role of the militia is not to fight, but to defend, relying on the geographical advantages of the city, especially important cities such as the capital, which is enough to narrow the gap with the regular army. Moreover, they also drew inspiration from His Highness the Crown Prince's feigned attack last time, and can disguise these militias as imperial troops, at least to bring a strong sense of oppression to the enemy.

After listening, Gustav pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Very well, it shall be as you say! Immediately issue an order to Chancellor Robert, ordering him to go to the Northwest to take charge immediately!"

In the dawn of Fulga City, Soren was sitting in his study, lost in thought. At this moment, a guard hurried in, holding a letter tightly in his hand.

The guard respectfully handed the letter to Soren and whispered: "Your Highness, this is an urgent message from Mr. Jean Lerant from the capital."

Soren raised his eyebrows slightly, quickly opened the letter, and began to read it carefully.

As he read further, his eyes gradually became sharp, and a hint of imperceptible sneer flashed across his face.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned the important ministers in the middle of the night to discuss and make major decisions regarding the serious corruption problems that have recently emerged within the army.

The purity of the army is the cornerstone of the empire's stability, and any corrupt behavior must be severely punished.

It's just that the army has been corrupt for too long, and too many people are involved. The capital can only slowly clean up these parasites in a gradual way, so now the most important thing is stability.

The letter also mentioned a piece of news that Baffi's three sons were all involved.

Although the ledger did not directly mention Baffi's name, his sons' involvement undoubtedly implicated him in this turmoil.

Soren put down the letter, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take down Baffi, a potential political enemy, in one fell swoop.

"Finally, it's my turn."
