So I'm a sheep.

"Lord Rodrian"

"Minister Saliye? What a rare guest."

Aside from a few meetings and a visit to the hospital, Rodrian and Sasha had no further private contact.

The fact that the young girl came directly to our door this time really revealed something unusual.

"sit"

Sitting down opposite Sasha, Rodriguez smiled and said, "Minister Salier, you've been in charge of the Ministry of Ideological Education for almost twelve years now, haven't you?"

That's right.

"Any insights or lessons learned?"

"Times are moving forward, and if our department continues to stagnate, we will become out of step with the entire Celestial Realm."

"Oh?"

Rodriguez leaned forward, his expression suddenly turning serious.

"The comrades are treated too poorly. Most of them earn far less merit points in a year than ordinary deliverymen."

"Commander, do you think this situation is normal?"

“I’ve felt something was wrong for a long time, but your department is completely independent in the VI Army, so it’s difficult for me to intervene.”

The legion commander said with a wry smile, "I can directly increase the budget for other departments, but for your department, I have to get the approval of the two ministers first, especially Deputy Minister Natalia."

"Once at the annual meeting, I mentioned that your department's benefits were poor, and guess what happened?"

"..."

"One can imagine Natalia's fury, leaving you speechless and unable to back down."

"Hey, I'm not just embarrassed, I'm absolutely mortified."

Rodriguez smacked his lips, a look of utter dismay on his face.

"Even His Highness Hill gives me some face; your deputy minister is truly a remarkable angel."

........................................

“Lord Rodriguez, you have influence with His Highness Hill. I was able to become the Minister of Ideological Education thanks to your recommendation.”

After a pause, the little girl asked curiously, "Before me, why didn't you recommend a seraph who was impartial, capable, and had emotional intelligence to subdue Natalia?"

"The nine archangel legions were originally established before His Highness Hill was born."

Rodriguez said calmly, "Many of the military regulations were set by His Highness's sisters. Even after His Highness took over the VI and V Armies, those regulations were never changed."

"One of the rules is that the Minister of Ideological Education must be a Throne Angel, assisted by a Seraphim as his deputy."

"..."

The minister must be a seated angel, while the deputy minister is a seraphim of the highest rank.

This rule is absolutely toxic!

Perhaps initially, this regulation was somewhat meaningful due to considerations of balance.

The problem is that the lifespan of Thrones is far less than that of Seraphim!

The inevitable result of this regulation is that there will be permanent deputy ministers, but a constant flow of ministers.

Ministers who come and go are destined to become mere figureheads; it's virtually impossible for them to gain real power.

In fact, if Natalia hadn't had such serious personality flaws, Sasha would have remained a mascot for a long time after going to the Department of Ideological Education.

Given the little girl's personality, if she's been a mascot for a long time, she might eventually just happily become one.

"This regulation seems a bit outdated."

Considering that this rule was set by a holy angel, Sasha spoke very politely.

"Yes, so when His Highness Heimla asked His Highness Hill to conduct a pilot reform of the VI Army's Ideological Education Department, and His Highness Hill immediately came to me, I recommended you."

"..."

"........"

Don't suddenly fall silent.

Rodriguez chuckled and said, "You came all this way just to give me a heads-up beforehand, so you can go to Prince Hill to hand over the mission, right?"

..........................................

The little girl scratched her head and gave a simple, honest smile.

"Commander, I'd like to apply for more funds to improve the welfare and benefits of our comrades."

"As for reforms, you never mentioned them to me before, so how would I know how to reform them?"

"Haven't I reminded you of this at every meeting?"

Rodriguez waved his hand: "Hurry up and produce the plan; His Highness Hill is getting impatient."

"..."

You're kidding me!

Could you have been any more subtle? If I hadn't realized it, how would you explain it to His Highness?

She was grumbling to herself, but because of the phrase "His Highness Hill is getting impatient," Sasha had no choice but to take out a thick stack of documents from her brooch space with a dark expression.

"The composition of benefits and compensation for staff at all levels, including the two ministers."

"Seven recommended bans to be removed, with detailed explanations attached."

"Twelve proposed amendments to the bans, with detailed explanations attached."

"On rights and obligations, on rights and oversight."

The necessity of angels like Natalia

"How do the minister and deputy minister complement each other? And what is the final self-reflection?"

Sasha placed all her hard work from the past years in front of Rodrian: "Take a look, I don't know if this will satisfy Your Highness."

..........................................

"..."

The room was extremely quiet. After carefully turning each page, Rodriguez read it over and over again several times.

“Saliye, you only suggested deleting or modifying nineteen bans in total. Is that all?”

"We dare not make major changes, because major changes are likely to cause problems."

"By the way, after listening to what you said before, I suggest that a certain military regulation be changed as well."

The young girl said helplessly, "The titles 'Seraphim' and 'Seraphim' are not really appropriate for today. Please add them for me at the end."

"it is good"

After a long conversation, the two angels finally finalized all the details of the document by noon the following day.

"Let's go and pay our respects to His Highness!"

Volume 1: Chapter 365 Passing the Level

"Is this the detailed reform plan?"

After carefully flipping through several pages, but not finishing reading them all, the Holy Angel looked at Rodriguez and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness," the legion commander nodded solemnly.

'Hmm, Your Highness doesn't seem too satisfied, having not read it all?'

The young girl was apprehensive. Although the stack of documents represented the culmination of her hard work, and the legion commander was quite satisfied with them, the version shown to Prince Hill was even a refined version.

but.......

Who knows how high the expectations of the Holy Angels are?

If His Highness Hill was already planning a sweeping reform, his conservative proposal would certainly not have been approved.

As Sasha waited anxiously, the Holy Angel asked again, "Rodriguez, do you think this plan will work?"

"This is a very good plan. In fact, Minister Saliye has already been trying to implement the welfare measures, the complementarity between the minister and deputy minister, and the rights and oversight aspects of the plan."

"So far, the results are good."

Phew, consulting with the legion commander beforehand was definitely the right decision.

The little girl's previous dissatisfaction with Rodrian vanished almost instantly.

"That's good"

Nodding in satisfaction, Hill smiled and looked at the little girl: "Sasha did not disappoint us this time, she should be rewarded."

Wow, it's time for the reward!

Glancing at the suddenly excited girl, Rodriguez said respectfully, "Your Highness, Saliye has both merits and demerits this time. For details of her mistakes, please refer to the last few pages of her self-criticism."

Hill turned to the last few pages and looked thoughtful.

"Indeed, Sasha also did some things wrong this time."

"In my opinion, even if Saliye has made mistakes, her merits outweigh her faults, and she should still be rewarded."

Rodriguez continued, "The fifteen-year probationary period hasn't ended yet, but Sally has already made achievements, so let her continue to lead the Ministry of Ideological Education."

what!

I have a probationary period? I've never heard of that before.

..........................................

"Since Sasha is doing a good job as minister, let her continue in this role."

He used to be a minister, and he still is.

Is the reward simply continuing as minister? It feels like the good deeds and bad deeds cancel each other out.

To be honest, the result was slightly below the little girl's expectations; she was really hoping for some kind of reward.
