Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Baggio explained, "Commander, here's what happened. A few days ago, Carduson and we made a bet to see who could last longer in training. We won, and Carduson gave us the gold coins as agreed. But today, he suddenly went back on his word, saying we stole his gold coins."

Raine listened and nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. He glanced at Carduson and said sternly, "Carduson, since they won the gold coins, don't be unreasonable. It's just a few gold coins, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

Although Carduson was unwilling, he could only nod in agreement under Raine's authority.

Seeing that Raine believed their explanation, Baggio breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly chimed in, "The commander is right, those gold coins were originally won by us."

The storm seemed to have subsided just like that.

However, Raine's heart was still full of doubts.

Raine couldn't help but wonder if there was a deeper meaning behind this.

Could these guys be related to the corruption that has been going on in the army?

During this period, Beryl was also investigating the military expenditure of the past few years. It was okay before the investigation, but he was shocked once he started. The military expenditure has been increasing every year, ostensibly to enhance the army's equipment and combat effectiveness.

Beryl was aware of these requests and personally approved them.

However, after the Northwest Rebellion, he discovered many problems.

For example, the soldiers' equipment and combat effectiveness were not as improved as the original proposal.

Beryl was in his luxurious office, his brow furrowed, and his mind heavy with worries.

If he weren't the Minister of Military Affairs, perhaps he could stay out of it and turn a blind eye to everything.

But now, his name was closely linked to all of this, and the document he personally signed was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Once things were exposed, he would be the first to be held accountable.

Therefore, Beryl had been busy recently delving into this matter. He not only wanted to find out the truth but also to strengthen the soldiers' training to ensure the army's combat effectiveness.

As the investigation deepened, he discovered more shocking problems.

In the process of improving the soldiers' combat effectiveness, breathing technique training was crucial, and to accelerate this training, auxiliary cultivation potions were indispensable.

However, the military supplies department had very few such potions in reserve, only enough to supply lower-level officers.

This made Beryl feel angry and helpless. He knew that the scarcity of these resources would have a serious impact on the soldiers' training.

To make up for the shortage of this batch of potions, Beryl even personally went to the Mage Association to ask for help.

In addition, there was a serious lack of high-energy food. The soldiers' daily diet was only slightly better than in previous years.

However, it was seriously inconsistent with the requirements of the strong army proposal.

These problems gradually accumulated, forming a huge loophole.

And all of this, Beryl gradually realized after the Crown Prince began to investigate the military supplies department.

What shocked him even more was that there was a lot of corruption and embezzlement in the army.

The so-called embezzlement was not simply a matter of falsely reporting numbers, but also involved the soldiers' cultivation subsidies.

In the Imperial Army, the stronger the soldiers, the more cultivation subsidies they received.

However, Beryl found that more than half of the soldiers were falsely reporting their cultivation levels, and some soldiers who had already "died in battle" even had terrifying fourth-order cultivation levels.

What shocked Beryl the most was that these soldiers who falsely reported their cultivation levels did not know that they had falsely reported their cultivation levels, and everything was still kept in the dark.

The amount of information contained here was a bit large.

The truth of all this made Beryl feel heartbroken. He had miscalculated the soldiers' combat effectiveness, which was the reason for the heavy casualties in the recent war.

To inject new vitality into the army of a country that values people.

At the same time, he also had to take responsibility for his mistakes and work hard to make up for the losses caused by all of this.

"Raine!" Beryl's voice was low and powerful, "How is your investigation into the matter of falsely reporting cultivation levels going?"

Raine stood in a corner of the study, his face showing embarrassment. He replied with a bitter face, "Sir, only a few people know the inside story at present, and most of the soldiers are still kept in the dark. I am speeding up the statistics of the list of involved personnel, and I hope to give you an accurate answer as soon as possible."

Beryl frowned when he heard this, obviously not satisfied with the progress. He said coldly, "You must secretly question all the officers responsible for registering the soldiers' cultivation levels. I want to know what is going on and who is manipulating all of this behind the scenes."

Raine nodded in agreement, but sighed secretly in his heart.

This matter was far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.

The officers might just be small fry, and the real mastermind was probably hiding in a deeper place.

Beryl was also aware of this. His eyes revealed determination and resolve, "There must be generals at the legion commander level involved in this matter. We must dig out these parasites and restore the army's integrity."

He pondered for a moment and continued, "Moreover, there must be an inside agent in the Ministry of Military Affairs. After all, the Ministry of Military Affairs will also send an investigation team to conduct spot checks on the reported cultivation levels. If someone hadn't been secretly manipulating things, how could this kind of thing have been hidden for so long?"

Thinking that there were such parasites hidden under his command, Beryl couldn't help but feel exhausted.

He had always thought that his army was an iron camp, but now he found that it was also full of decay and darkness.

At this moment, he deeply understood Neumann and Horn's difficulties for the first time.

As the empire developed to this point, class solidification became increasingly serious, and corruption cases emerged in all aspects.

How easy would it be to completely eradicate these malpractices?

Beryl had no intention of retreating.

As the Minister of Military Affairs, he had the responsibility and obligation to expose this darkness, at least during his term of office,

He would never allow the army's combat effectiveness to decline drastically. Only if the army maintained its combat effectiveness could the empire continue to maintain its false peace and stability.

"Teacher, if this matter continues to be investigated, I am afraid it will have a significant impact on your reputation in the army," Raine said, standing in front of Beryl's desk, his brow furrowed, his tone full of concern.

Beryl put down the document in his hand, looked up at his loyal student, his deep eyes revealing firmness and determination. He slowly shook his head and said, "Raine, you have been with me for many years, you should know that I am not the kind of person who values personal reputation. Compared with the safety of the country, what is personal gain or loss?"

He paused and continued, "Prince's betrayal has inadvertently exposed me to some deeper things. These things have made me realize that there is too much filth and corruption hidden in our army.

If we don't clean it up as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist foreign enemies in the future."
