I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 202

EP.202

Two months later, the Northern Army commander’s office and conference room.

When I was 25 years old, I was appointed as the commander of a regiment and was in a position to plan and explain the strategy of the war in which Ludvik was killed with a sword.

Now, as a lieutenant general, sitting in this chair in the commander’s office feels really strange.

“Master, have some tea.”

“Thank you, Charlotte.”

“Louise has joined the official residence for the last time and has just finished packing up her belongings. And tonight…”

Today’s sleepover is Charlotte’s own, so the look in her eyes that silently pressures her to exercise hard together at night is scary.

However, as a man who is not yet 30 years old, I cannot say such things in order to protect my pride.

‘Can’t I just sleep today?’

Damn, this all happened because His Majesty the Emperor gave my family the role of stabilizing the North instead of promoting me to General.

After saying that, Charlotte left my office for a moment.

“This is Major General Adelheit von Graham, Chief of Staff of the Northern Army. “Can I come in, Commander?”

“Please come in.”

“Excuse me.”

The man who opened the door couldn’t hide his expression of surprise when he saw me, who was about 25 years younger than him.

“I would like to be treated to a cup of tea by the Lieutenant General, but since the situation is so urgent, I will get to the point right away. Please read this report first.”

The contents of the report presented by the Chief of Staff were less hopeful and dreamy than I thought.

[Chief Ishtaven leads the pro-Stockholm Kingdom faction, and 60 tribes follow him. Chief Ishtaven has been slowly increasing the number of his followers over the past two years, and according to the Imperial Military Intelligence Department, he is often meeting with Major General Karpelen of Stockholm.] I would have

felt a little relieved if the person I was meeting was only a colonel, but I thought he was a major general. The problem is more serious than expected.

At this level, Chief Ishtaven would have signed a contract to receive a title and territory in exchange for moving to the Kingdom of Stockholm.

In other words, like Lee Wan-yong, the epitome of the Eulsa-o-jeok, he has the intention of selling out the northern part of the Reich Empire.

“What the fuck, there are 60 tribes that are in sympathy with that. What is your predecessor doing now? If this situation had occurred, the Northern Army would have had to move in and attack the Kingdom of Stockholm. “Have you taken any special measures or measures?”

At those words, the Chief of Staff shook his head with an expression of resentment and spoke.

“It’s been two months since I took office, so I don’t know much. Besides, wouldn’t you know this well if you were a regiment commander in the Northern Army? “If you carelessly intervene in the affairs of the tribes.”

“Well, if you intervene incorrectly, not only Chief Ishtaven but others may also rise up. If that happens, we don’t know what the two Kingdoms of Sweden and Stockholm will do when they intervene. Taking that into consideration, I would like to ask you to cancel any measures that may result in personnel disadvantages.”

“Thank you, Commander. By the way, if you have a good solution, please let me know. “If you just give me the command, I’ll do my best to roll on the ground.”

Although it is one of the most useless bits of information, 80% of soldiers wearing stars in the Empire are serving with less than two years left before their rank’s retirement age.

So, when an opportunity rolls in front of you, it’s natural to do whatever you can to take it.

Depending on what star you wear and what rank you retire with, the quality of your life in retirement, your social status, and the legacy and benefits you can leave to your family will vary.

“You should leave behind all the materials you brought and call Colonel Kergit.”

“I understand, Commander. “Is there anything else I can help you with or would you like to request support for your daily life?”

“Wouldn’t it be illegal for you to directly look after my convenience? “Just go.”

If the deputy commander of the Northern Army opens his eyes and takes the convenience of the commander, I could see the miracle of my official residence being converted into an actual castle in a month.

Moreover, this is the North, which is famous for having many pretty women, and there are many female slaves who became prisoners of war.

It would be an environment in which it would be easy to steal a few female slaves to serve me and bring them to me.

However, right now, I feel like my back is going to die just from taking care of 4 people, and I don’t want to be greedy about things like an official residence.

And there is no need to commit corruption for a living.

“If the materials I have prepared are good, when I submit a letter of recommendation to the Chief of Staff, I will at least write that Major General Graham is competent, so let’s go.”

As soon as those words were spoken, the chief of staff ran out as quickly as possible and called Anya.

“Loyalty! “What business did you call me for?”

“There are only two people here, me and Anya. “Even if you’re at work, you can just call me comfortably.”

“Yes, Lieutenant General.”

Laura tends to call her “you” when they are together, while Charlotte often calls her “master” and Louise tends to call her “knight”.

In addition, Laura is the type of person who strictly respects her superiors even when the two of her are alone during work, so I follow suit, but Anya immediately speaks comfortably.

“Ever since your Majesty sent me to the north, I thought this place would be a real mess, but this is beyond my imagination.”

“What is the situation?”

“Chief Ishtaven has gradually brought the 60 tribes under his influence over time and is suspected of being in cahoots with a major general belonging to the Kingdom of Stockholm. “If we continue like this, the worst case scenario is that the North will be split in half.”

After hearing that, Anya thought for a moment and then spoke.

“Lieutenant General, as you probably know to some extent, the northern tribes are like wolves. They know how to bow down to those who are strong, and if they look even the slightest bit weak or easygoing, they will bite their necks. This wasn’t just the case when we were just barbarians in the north. “That trend still remains.”

In the Northern Archery Cavalry under my command, Anya is a woman, so although she is somewhat inferior in terms of physical strength compared to men, she is recognized by everyone for her leadership and management skills.

So, there are no idiots who are sarcastic or snide at Anya who is higher in rank and more capable than them, but often when officers in the Imperial Army who are less powerful are dispatched as battalion commanders, company commanders, or platoon commanders… The

capable ones become good commanders because they are evaluated for their command ability and will. The ambiguous guys had to work really hard to be recognized as commanders by their subordinates.

If we take this tendency a few steps further…

“You mean that the northern army of the empire seemed a bit more formidable than the Kingdom of Sweden or Stockholm, which was right above it? So, by using this opportunity to betray the empire, Ishtaven is planning to receive a title from the kingdom and become a nobleman.”

“Yes, Lieutenant General. The tribal leaders of the 60 tribes who were deceived by Ishtaven must have imagined that if they surrendered like this, they would receive the title of baron or knight from the kingdom and be treated well. “Like nobles with large estates in the empire.”

“In the empire, much more was spent on feeding the chieftains and their tribe members than the taxes collected from the north. And the defected chiefs were given titles according to the size of their power, and their children were given the education they needed to live as nobles and even had the opportunity to enter the academy.”

According to the letters that Charlotte’s younger brother, who passed the academy last year, often wrote to her, he said that he had become quite close with one of the sons of a northern chieftain.

If these idiots had just pretended to conform to the imperial system for a little while, they would have lived happily ever after.

I don’t understand why they bother to bring about trouble.

“What do you think is the best way to do it?”

“The way to bring order to the North is simple. If you show the power of the empire, the military power, and the determination and strength of the commander of the Northern Army, you can prevent major problems.”

In addition, I didn’t mention it because it wasn’t necessary, but it would also be necessary to deal with Ishtaven’s head and the chieftains and tribes that were infected by him.

A friend of Yeokdeok, who went to the Department of History when he lived in Korea, said that during the Joseon Dynasty, if the Jurchen tribe caused even the slightest damage to the Joseon people, they would hunt down that tribe and exterminate it entirely.

Wouldn’t it be better to follow Ishtaven and cut off the heads of the idiots who tried to betray the Empire’s favor?

“If this happens, we will end up in an all-out war with the Kingdom of Stockholm. “Do you think the Northern Army alone can fight it?”

“I don’t know that. What are you going to do, Lieutenant General?”

“Lieutenant General Khan Slayer Peter Yeager has been appointed as commander of the Northern Army, so I should inform all the chieftains in the North. “Come say hello to the Northern Army camp.”

If you don’t come, I’ll kill you. If you come, I’ll spare you.

**

A week later, at the Ishtaven tribe meeting hall.

Here, the chiefs of 60 tribes, including the Ishtaven tribe, gathered and sat with serious expressions, and someone broke the silence and spoke.

“…… Lieutenant General Peter Yeager came as commander of the Northern Army. “What should I do?”
