Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 437: The Minister of Defense is Vacant
Under the leadership of Nirmala Sitharaman, the Enforcement Directorate has completely become a minion of the BJP, attacking political opponents, conducting various tax audits on foreign-funded enterprises and issuing huge fines.

They are omnipresent, just like spies, creating an atmosphere of terror.

So, this is a very scary woman, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a female devil.

This kind of woman is not easy to mess with, and normal people will definitely stay away from her.

After thinking about it, Roton called Vides.

If Vides knew that Nirmala would become the Finance Minister in the future, Roton believed that Vides would not take the case, let alone arrest Nirmala's nephew.

These things are hard to talk about, but Roton felt that he had to talk to Vides about other things. He couldn't let him do anything out of line, otherwise it would be bad if he offended Nirmala.

"Have you heard everything?" Vides said on the phone, "It's not that serious, I'm just pretending to arrest someone..."

Vides knew that Rodon was worried that he would offend Nirmala.

But Vides has his own ideas about this matter. After all, he has discussed it with Rajnath.

They think this matter is not a big problem.

After listening to Vides' explanation, although Roton was still a little uneasy, he didn't know what to say for the time being.

From the perspective of Vides and others, pretending to arrest someone is indeed a good solution.

In any case, it is a fact that Nirmala’s nephew committed a crime and there will be no problem for the CBI to arrest him.

Besides, the Central Bureau of Investigation is just pretending and they won’t actually do anything to anyone later.

Generally speaking, Nirmala has nothing to say about this result.

By doing this, the Central Bureau of Investigation is helping her nephew, making a big matter small.

The reason why Rotun felt uneasy was that the other party was not an ordinary person, but a powerful woman.

It's hard to figure out what a woman is thinking.

A woman like Nirmala cannot tolerate being provoked.

Maybe you think you are considering her, but she may not think so.

So it is difficult for Rodon to judge what Nirmala would think.

Since Vides had discussed this with Rajnath, Rodon naturally had nothing to say. He could only hope for a good result.

In the following days, Luoton continued to pay close attention to this matter.

Keep an eye on what's happening in Nirmala.

Some news media outlets have asked Nirmala about this issue, wanting to know her attitude towards her nephew's case.

Nirmala did not respond to this.

However, Roden noted that Nirmala had attacked Rajnath in a high-level government meeting shortly after her nephew was arrested by the CBI.

This made Rawdon realize that the woman was obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.

Of course, Nirmala couldn't go directly to the CBI to cause trouble, as that would have had a negative impact.

Nirmala is no fool.

She is now venting her anger on Rajnath. After all, the Central Bureau of Investigation is a department under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

"I hope that after venting like this, this matter will be over." Roton thought secretly.

This woman was very vindictive, and Rawdon wondered if she would always keep this matter in mind.

If she was just the Minister of Commerce and Industry, even if she caused some trouble for Rajnath, he would still be able to withstand it.

The question is, when Nirmala becomes the Finance Minister in the future and takes charge of the Enforcement Directorate, will she retaliate against the CBI and Vedras over this incident?

This is what Roton is most worried about.

Rotun couldn't tell anyone about these things, he could only keep an eye on them secretly.

Later, Roden noticed that Nirmala also had a lot of opinions about Finance Minister Arun and would contradict Arun in some meetings.

After thinking about it, Luo Dun felt that it was related to her nephew's arrest.

After her nephew was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation, although there was no follow-up and he was not abused, the incident was still reported by the news media, which had a significant negative impact on her reputation as the Minister of Commerce and Industry.

Whether you know it or not, the person who committed the crime is your nephew, so everyone will definitely think that you know about it, are covering up for him, etc.

These things obviously made Nirmala angry.

This is not just a problem for the CBI and the Union Home Ministry, but also for the Enforcement Directorate and the Finance Ministry.

After all, the Central Bureau of Investigation's arrest this time was obviously provoked by the Enforcement Bureau. This put the Central Bureau of Investigation in trouble, so the Central Bureau of Investigation had to take action.

So, Nirmala has no good feelings towards these departments.

She knew very well what the law enforcement agency was thinking. Didn't they just want to drag her into this?

She is not a fool and will definitely not cause trouble for the Central Bureau of Investigation at this time.

Of course, she actually has a lot of opinions about the Central Bureau of Investigation.

In her opinion, even if the Enforcement Agency forced her into a corner, the Central Bureau of Investigation didn't have to arrest her nephew, right?
Can't we use other more moderate methods?

At least you should talk to her first, right?

At that time, the impact of this incident on her will be minimized.

Unfortunately, those guys didn't do any of these things. What kind of person do they think of her?
Nirmala has kind of taken note of this; she is now just the Minister of Commerce and Industry.

Although they are ministers, there is still a big difference in power between ministers.

Among these ministers, the most powerful are the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of the Interior.

These four ministers and the Prime Minister form the Cabinet's Policy Committee.

The Cabinet Committee on State Affairs is India's highest defense decision-making body.

Responsible for national defense issues, formulating national defense policies, and discussing and approving major military, political and diplomatic policy issues.

The Prime Minister serves as the Chairman.

It can be said to be the real authority.

So, although Nirmala is very influential and the top brass of the BJP will give her some face, her position and power are indeed far behind Rajnath and Arun.

Because of this, she only provoked the two of them on some incidents and did not do anything more extreme, which was considered to be the right time to stop.

The CBI did not suffer any retaliation or targeting, and Rotun was temporarily relieved. Perhaps this matter would just pass.

Vides's anxious heart finally settled down.

In fact, he has always been a little worried that the Enforcement Agency will continue to put pressure on them to convict Nirmala's nephew.

He told Rajnath at the time that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

He believed that the Enforcement Directorate would not really dare to provoke Nirmala.

But these are just his guesses after all, and no one can be sure what the reaction of the law enforcement agency will be.

Now I can be completely relieved.

There was no follow-up from the law enforcement bureau, and the matter ended there.

After a while, when the public opinion about this incident gradually fades and fewer people are paying attention to it, you can just release the person.

Vides believed that his side had won a resounding victory in this duel, while the Enforcement Bureau had lost more than it gained, ultimately enhancing his side's reputation.

"Mr. Minister, are we just going to let it go like this?" Bowede asked unwillingly.

"This matter ends here," Allen said. "Your actions this time have offended that woman. If you continue to put pressure on Vides, you will offend her even more. There's no need."

Of course, Bowede understood this.

They were obviously trying to take advantage of Nirmala. As someone involved, how could Nirmala not see that?
Even if he put pressure on the Central Bureau of Investigation this time and asked Vides not to step up the investigation, the result would be to offend Nirmala badly.

Even the minister doesn't want to mess with this woman, and certainly their law enforcement agency doesn't want to either.

"Alas, this result is far from what we expected," said Bovede with a sigh. "It would be much better if Minister Sitharaman came forward directly."

"Do you think that woman is stupid?" Allen laughed.

Of course he understood what Bovede meant. The Enforcement Agency must hope that Nirmala would go and find Vides himself.

Will Vides let him go at that time?

Once they are released, public opinion will have something to say.

Now Nirmala is completely ignoring the matter, so it will be difficult to take follow-up action.

Of course, if the Enforcement Directorate really follows through with its plan, it will offend Nirmala even more.

This consequence may not be a good thing for their law enforcement agency.

Maybe Nirmala actually hates the Enforcement Department. Wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?

"That's pretty much it now. Although that woman has some complaints about us, her biggest complaints are directed at the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Bureau of Investigation. After all, it was Vides and his team who actually did the arresting," Allen continued. "We've achieved half of our goal, so let's call it a day."

"Yes, Mr. Minister." A smile appeared on Bowede's face.

Both the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation feel they have benefited.

To some extent, they are right.

Nirmala is clearly the biggest victim in this incident.

She was singled out by the law enforcement agency as a target.

The film was completed and released, and Rawdon returned to New Delhi.

The public security in New Delhi is very good now, after all, there is the god of death, Roton, in charge.

Since the last overhaul of the Delhi police system, the overall security in Delhi has also improved significantly.

In this regard, Najida, the director of the General Administration, must be the happiest.

With a capable person like Rotun, Najida felt that he could finally hold his head high.

Although he was the director of the General Administration before, his power was subject to many restrictions and many of his subordinates did not listen to him.

After all, those guys have people behind them, especially in Delhi, where there are too many powerful people and it is not easy to offend anyone.

During this reorganization, he promoted and placed many of his confidants in many key departments, which greatly improved his control over the Delhi police system.

Luoton's work has been very easy recently, nothing major has happened. He usually goes to get off work and comes home normally, but sometimes he is late or leaves early, which is perfectly normal.

This is the freedom of being a leader.

He had been in Mumbai most of the time recently, so after returning to New Delhi this time, he was with Su Wei and the other two women, and Luoton made up to them a lot.

During this period, Luoton was with the three women almost every night.

Masoya has now become close friends with Su Wei and Kanina. After all, they have experienced countless frank meetings and even various interactions, and everyone is very familiar with each other.

It was only Rodon. Any other man would definitely not be able to handle it.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Su Wei asked.

"I'm not going. I'll stay with you guys." Rotun said with a smile.

There's nothing serious going on at the police station, so there's no problem at all if he's not here.

"Okay, I've picked out a dress." Su Wei said with a giggle, "After breakfast, let's go shopping in the mall."

Kanina and Masoya were preparing food in the kitchen.

Su Wei still has a bit of a spoiled brat temperament and is generally unwilling to do these things.

Of course, Kanina is also willing to pamper her.

Masoya came later, and she is also good at these little things in daily life, so naturally she doesn't care about these things.

Besides, being able to cook for her beloved man is also a kind of happiness for her.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk later." Roton said as he turned on the TV to check the latest news today.

While listening to the news, I chatted with Su Wei.

Suddenly, Luoton stopped chatting with Su Wei and turned his eyes to the TV.

Su Wei didn't continue talking because she noticed that Luoton's mind was on the TV, so she also stared at the TV screen and listened to the news broadcast.

This is news about official appointments.

"Huh? The Minister of Defense is transferred to the Chief Minister of Goa?" Su Wei said in surprise.

In terms of status, the Defence Minister is definitely higher than the Chief Minister of Goa.

Isn’t this transfer a demotion?

Roden frowned.

He did not think about which of the two posts, defence minister and Goa chief minister, was higher.

The Minister of Defense has been transferred, so the position of Minister of Defense has become vacant.

This is one of the four most powerful ministers.

Once it becomes vacant, I wonder how many people will fight for it.

Roden knew about this.

The Chief Minister of Goa died suddenly of an illness, and the BJP needs to appoint a new one because the ruling party in Goa is the BJP, which is their territory.

The current Minister of Defense is a bit old and is somewhat unable to perform the duties of the Minister of Defense, so he is willing to serve in a local position.

The old immortal took this opportunity to satisfy him.

Once you get to the local level, the pressure is not that great.

And some of them might actually be willing to be the Chief Minister of a state.

Because the Chief Minister is the head of a state.

Although the Minister of Defense is a powerful minister, there is the Prime Minister above him in the federal central government, and there are many ministers around him who are on equal footing with him.

In terms of freedom and so on, they are really no match for these chief ministers.

There were certainly many contenders for the post of Defence Minister, but Roden was well aware that the final winner would be Nirmala Sitharaman.

She, a woman, became the Minister of Defense.

This is the memory of Luoton's previous life.
