I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 97

EP.97

From the day after I was summoned to Count Benner, everyone in the 24th Regiment, including me, was given rest.

Because, except for my father-in-law, the commander-in-chief, our unit accomplished the greatest feat in the Northern Army.

Until Count Benner, commander of the Northern Expeditionary Force, orders the next personnel assignment and military service to all soldiers under my command.

As a condition of staying in the unit, he ordered the supply department to provide an unlimited amount of alcohol such as beer, wine and whiskey, as well as meat and various foods.

This is because each member of the unit was secretly given a month’s vacation pass and appropriate money, regardless of whether they were doing business or not.

Everyone in our unit, regardless of whether it was a soldier, non-commissioned officer, or officer, was enjoying the maximum pleasure possible.

Therefore, in the office where I am staying, it is normal for officers to bring alcohol and meat to have a good time before leaving after receiving a promotion or promotion.

“Laura, can you please get off my lap first?”

“I don’t like it. When I go down, you’re planning on drinking and having fun with the deputy regiment commander and other officers. “I don’t go out with prostitutes at night with them, but I don’t like it because the Colonel and I have less time to be alone together.”

As she said that, Laura refused to leave my side, no matter what instructions she had received from Count Benner over the past few days.

At least when I was sleeping, he left my side with a sad expression on his face, but in the morning, he came next to me and woke me up.

So, no matter how you look at this, it doesn’t feel like it’s a sign that you can’t be satisfied with just kissing.

“That’s true, but it’s soon time to separate from the officers in the regiment.”

“I know. But my father said that if the colonel gets promoted, other stray cats will keep chasing him. Thinking about that, I need to talk more with the colonel…”

When I saw her eyes saying those words, I could sense that my path to escape was completely blocked.

Besides, I honestly think a beauty like Laura is too much for me.

Of course, considering my status and position, I don’t know if it would be possible to have an arranged marriage with a woman whose face and beauty are on par with Laura’s.

A person with the halo of a count’s family, beautiful appearance, outstanding combat skills and insight, and a person who has had a pure and pure love for me for several years.

Even if I have made it this far in life, it is still too much for me.

In addition, the officers are enjoying unlimited alcohol and meat in the hall under the official residence, saying that they support the love between the two young people in response to the implicit pressure emanating from Laura.

In any case, orders were given to rest except for minimal office work until the royal envoy arrives to inform the public about the business.

“Laura, it’s still daytime, but I’ll take a shower and get ready for bed.”

I couldn’t say it directly because I was embarrassed, but when Laura heard those words, she seemed to understand my intention and nodded with a red face.

“I understand, Colonel.”

When I made that big decision, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“His Majesty’s envoy personally came to the 24th Regiment to deliver an award for meritorious work! “The other officers are also preparing themselves to welcome the royal envoy, so please hurry up, Regiment Commander!”

These words completely shattered the pink atmosphere between us… but I couldn’t help it.

Ignoring the emperor’s royal decree was like confessing that I would commit treason, so I had no choice but to temporarily postpone my expectations of spending a happy time with her.

“Let’s change into our uniforms first.”

“Yes, Colonel.”

After saying that, Laura got off my lap and moved to the room assigned to her.

I was planning to hold a memorial service on a day when I had made up my mind that it would

be a market day… Why are they notifying me of promotions and awards now? It will be done in just three hours.

I sighed after checking that no one was around.

“Ha fuck. “Is this a country?”

**

I changed into my uniform and went outside to receive the edict.

The officers’ faces were bright red, as if they were on fire, because they had drank several liters of beer and wine just a few minutes ago.

When the messenger sent by the emperor announced the announcement of the military service, the military flags were raised as if they were about to go to war.

Before I started announcing the business in earnest, the middle-aged man in his 40s holding the edict looked at me and suddenly approached me and spoke in a friendly voice.

“Haha, aren’t you Colonel Jaeger, the Khan Slayer who killed the barbarian Khan and brought peace to the North? “It’s so nice to meet you like this.”

“Thank you for your hard work to get here, Royal Highness.”

“No, it was something I had to do in order to follow His Majesty’s orders to spread the good news quickly.”

I was confident when I saw that he was very friendly, unlike the royal envoys who usually just confirm my identity and immediately start talking about me.

The fact that the news that that person brought would be full of good news beyond all of our imagination.

“I, Administrative Officer Miller von Bayer, will read on your behalf the document containing the Emperor’s orders regarding the commerce trade.”

Then the royal envoy opened the scroll and spoke.

“Listen,” said Peter Yeager, commander of the 24th Regiment. “Thanks to Sir’s great contribution this time, the Empire was able to prevent a new great enemy from forming in the north and save the lives of countless soldiers. In particular, he made a contribution to personally subdue the evil Khan Ludvik, so it can be said that he made a contribution so great that it is difficult to find a trace in the history of the empire.”

My father-in-law had hinted in advance that I would be promoted to brigadier general, and there were several instances in the history of the empire where a star was awarded before the age of 30.

That was only possible when the head of the duke family, a collateral royal family, inherited the title at an extremely young age and made numerous achievements.

I have heard that there are no cases of young heads of other great noble families (counts and marquises), as well as other cases, receiving stars under the age of 30.

So, I guess they are continuing to say this as a way to say that they will ignore this custom.

“In addition, if you count his exploits that turned the empire’s defeats into great victories on several occasions, he must have played an active role for the Reich Empire and the imperial family on a scale unprecedented in the history of the empire. Therefore, as an exception, Colonel Yeager is permitted to be promoted to brigadier general beyond the custom.”

After saying that, the two knights behind the royal envoy laid down in front of me a treasured sword with the royal family emblem symbolizing the general.

This is a symbol of the ability to execute the emperor’s authority in times of emergency, and although it is rarely used in reality, it refers to the authority to kill officers and soldiers below the rank of major in times of war without going through a court-martial.

Of course, even if you succeed in using this to win the battle and overcome the crisis.

Since he was acting on behalf of the emperor, a huge investigation was conducted into the reason, and as soon as even the slightest flaw was discovered, various disadvantages were imposed, so it was rarely used.

“In addition, the title is raised to Viscount, the entire Töner Grasten territory and the Barony of Rosenheim are granted, and 30,000 gold is granted.”

30,000 gold is the cost of living for 30,000 ordinary households for a year, and Töner and Grasten are northern territories, so they are currently undervalued.

Even excluding the cornerstone, it is like real estate that, with a little development, has the potential to be equivalent to that of a baronage in a decent empire.

In addition, the previous barons of the Barony of Rosenheim 100 years ago used the title Great Baron in informal settings and boasted wealth that was incomparable to that of most other barons… If I

get that fiefdom into my hands, I won’t have to worry about money in the future. It will be given to you.

“Finally, the Golden Cross of the Knight’s Sword is awarded. The original condition for awarding this medal is that one must participate in a battle as a commander and win the battle. How can cutting Khan’s head off as a regiment commander be compared to a commander who led a division to victory? Therefore, as a special exception, Brigadier General Jaeger is awarded the Golden Cross of the Knight’s Sword.”

Moreover, among officers with stars, this is actually a medal that only those who have been promoted to division commander or higher can have.

This is proof that the emperor promised me a promotion to division commander, no matter how long it would take, as long as I refrain from treason and nonsense.

However, promotion to brigadier general seemed a bit too much, so unless you make a big contribution, it will take 10 years to be promoted to division commander…

“In addition, the deputy commander of the 24th Regiment was promoted to colonel and the entire Puckahavn territory was awarded, and Major Laura von Venner was awarded the Bronze Knight’s Cross of Swords. And the Passau territory….”

The officers who worked under me were all promoted at least from the first to the second level, and even received a undeserved amount of territory, although the size was different.

The non-commissioned officers grant admission to the officer academy to anyone who wants it, so they can quickly raise their status to semi-nobles.

Soldiers who were easily alienated in normal times were given the choice of either being discharged and receiving a large lump sum of money, or applying to become a non-commissioned officer and rising to the rank of putting a stake in the military.

When everyone was happy, the edict reading finally ended.

The royal envoy secretly whispered in my ear.

“The Minister of Military Affairs has appointed you, Brigadier General, as the person in charge of the working-level and planning operations for the Francois Republic expeditionary operation. Congratulations! The order of assignment will arrive in a week. “He is the ‘3rd Deputy Chief of Operations, General Headquarters.’”

Then the royal envoy left in a hurry as if he had to go somewhere else, and I received congratulations from everyone that day.

On the first day of a week-long banquet with unlimited alcohol and meat, I had to attend only for a short time at the beginning, share in the joy, and then leave.

because.

Not long after the banquet started, Laura said this in a whisper.

“Brigadier General, I don’t want to sleep alone today.”
