Academy Genius Commander

16 – Opportunity to rise (3)

The next morning after the strategy meeting.

Charles de Henri, commander of the 12th Division of the Francois Republic deployed on the Rhineland Front, always got up at the same time as me and sat down at his desk to work on the division.

Normally, he would have complained about the fact that he had to write a report every day even though there was no major change.

For today, he was grateful that he had the responsibility and right to write a report on the state of the Rhineland Front.

This is because the decoy operation succeeded this time and succeeded in defeating over 1,500 enemies while minimizing the sacrifice of allies.

It was an operation that would never be caught by a seasoned commander, but thankfully the inexperienced student platoon commanders were able to succeed because they bit the fishing hooks whenever they threw them.

I feel like I want to buy a drink for the other general who brought the student platoon leader into the front line.

And if this continues, the achievement of victory on the Rhineland front will be acknowledged, and greater territory, wealth, and promotion will be confirmed.

“When I was initially deployed here, I resented Deus-sama for placing me on this f*cking front, but it turned out that it was all God’s grace. ha ha ha!”

Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face, and I feel like I can picture a rosy future ahead.

However, it did not last long to be immersed in such feelings.

Because one stupid officer stormed into the division commander’s barracks panting without observing the reporting system.

Carol wanted to reprimand the soldier for a moment, but she didn’t want to ruin the good mood.

Instead of shouting, he asked in a slightly disgruntled voice.

“For what purpose did you come?”

“I have an urgent report, so I came directly to the division commander.”

“Just say it quickly. And from now on, follow the reporting process. Next time, I’ll rule you by military law.”

“I understand, Commander. As of now, the 8th Division of the Reich Imperial Army is preparing to retreat. The situation is so urgent that the barracks are not properly organized, and they are trying to escape with only the minimum amount of food, weapons and armor.”

Hearing this, the division commander was so happy that his anger at the scouting officer’s disregard for the reporting system quickly faded from his mind.

Instead, the intelligence officer, who did a stupid thing for not following the reporting system, started to look like a cute guy who inadvertently broke the reporting system in his sincerity to tell me the very good news as soon as possible.

“You can report an urgent report regardless of the reporting system. All the more so if it is good news. But from now on, unless it is an urgent situation like this, make sure to follow the reporting system.”

“Yes, I understand. Division commander.”

Then, as was customary, the division commander handed 5 gold to the officer who delivered the good news and said.

“If you are right, we will have a festival soon. At that time, even a woman should hug her and relieve her fatigue. Apparently, this is the first time I’ve seen it in real life, but it would be a good experience to hold the woman brought by the jubo merchants on the battlefield.”

The officer who received the money gave an exemplary salute and thanks to the superior in front of him and quickly left the division commander’s barracks.

Then, the division commander ordered the watchman waiting outside to call the reconnaissance leader and check detailed information.

And that night, Carl de Henri, commander of the 12th Division of the Francois Republic, was confident of the upcoming victory and enjoyed the finest wine and cheese sold by Jubo merchants.

All the soldiers of the 12th Division were given alcohol and meat, albeit in a small amount so that they would not get drunk, using the division’s budget.

As it was customary for a division commander to pass out wine and meat in a war, it meant he was almost certain of victory, so all the soldiers, including the officers of the division, began to relax intoxicated with the joy of the coming victory.

without knowing what the outcome might be.

**

It was only a day or two, but to me, Peter Yeager, it seemed so long.

Because this operation could be the biggest opportunity of my life…

If you fail, you will receive a blow that will make you unable to stand up again as a commander, but if you succeed, it will be the starting point for you to gain wealth, honor, and power that are incomparable to ever before.

So, ‘What if I fail?’ The anxiety of doing it came and pushed again and again.

However, as the saying goes, the filthy slow clock of the Ministry of Defense is also running, and the day to finally be discharged is coming.

The scheduled launch time arrived, and a dust-covered scout hurried into the company headquarters.

Then everyone’s eyes focused on him.

This is because the execution of the operation depends on the soldier’s report.

I calmly asked, hiding my heart beating like a teenager falling in love for the first time.

“What is the current situation of the Francois Republic Army?”

It’s a very comprehensive question, but the scout with the rank of sergeant gave a cool answer as if he understood everything with that alone.

“Karl, the commander of the 12th Division of the Francois Republic, watched our retreat and relaxed, confident of victory. For two days, yesterday and today, the division commander served wine and meat to both officers and soldiers. Jubo merchants are preparing to hold a banquet on the battlefield with prostitutes, meat, and clowns.”

When I heard those words, my heart was filled with joy.

I feel like cheering right now, but this operation must be kept secret until I lead my company to attack the enemy lines.

Of course, I informed the platoon commanders next to me three hours in advance to prepare for the operation.

I didn’t want to know any other company’s officers below the captain’s rank from now on, so I pretended to be nothing on the outside and replied.

“It was hard. Then let’s go.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Saying that, the sergeant quickly made his way out of our barracks.

And those of us who were left cheered loudly, then I clapped my hands to lighten the mood and said.

“Then I will start Operation ‘Thunder’ from now on. The platoon commanders of each platoon must go back to the barracks immediately and wake up the men of each platoon to bring carts #1 and #2, which contain crossbow bolts, crossbows, and torches topped with jars. As promised in advance, the chief wizard, please call all the wizards belonging to the battalion and gather in the plaza.”

After giving such an order, the 1st Platoon Commander, the most senior officer in the company, asked on behalf of everyone.

“Yes, I understand. Then what will the lieutenant do?”

“As of now, the deputy company commander will directly inform the division commander of the start of the operation. I think it will take about 10 minutes, so make sure everything is thoroughly prepared by then.”

“I will do as you command.”

After everyone had left, I went to the division commander to report on the start of the operation, and after finishing, I hurriedly walked to the square of the company barracks.

When I arrived, all the men of the company were already waiting, as I had commanded, with long spears in their left hands, unlit torches covered with jars in their right hands, and crossbows on their backs.

Seeing that scene, I definitely realized that the life and death of over 100 soldiers depended on my order.

It was a waste of time to even feel that kind of sentiment right now, so I decided to go ahead with just one word.

“I don’t need it all, I’ll just say one word. Believe in this company commander and fight with the determination to risk your life! If I win and come back like that, I will take responsibility and hold on to the division commander’s crotch to ask all of you to be promoted. If you are in the army, shouldn’t you leave as soon as possible and return to your wife and children! And I would like to ask you one more thing. Let’s live and see each other again.”

If it had been another company commander, he would have talked about the honor of the empire, his wife and children, and his wealth and glory.

What touches the soldiers much more than that is the campaign.

Because that word contains all the really important things, such as the peaceful daily life spent with one’s wife and children, and the leisure of a person who has returned alive.

In addition, if this surprise operation succeeds, I will be promised the position of first-class contributor who led the front line that was driven to the brink of defeat to victory.

At that level, I would be able to petition for and pass a special promotion of 1st class to all soldiers without diminishing my achievements.

“Long live the company commander!”

“Let’s go special and go home as soon as possible!”

“Let’s go get some hot home-cooked food, not f*cking oatmeal and half-rotten cheese!”

**

After raising the morale of the soldiers, I took them and approached them as stealthily as possible without being noticed by the enemy.

In the process, I found several skirmishers and almost caught them, but before they blew their whistles, I shot them all with arrows.

So we were able to safely move to the point we had designated in advance.

There I commanded my soldiers.

“The wizard blows a fireball as far as possible to set the enemy camp on fire, and the soldiers divide into two groups here. Group 1 is the 2nd and 3rd platoons and wizards, and Group 2 is the 1st and 4th platoons. Team 1 will fire only one crossbow, put the rest of the crossbows here and charge with me, Team 2 will use all the other crossbows according to the platoon commander’s instructions. Next, everyone becomes one and digs into the enemy camp without thinking. The moment we panic and flinch, we all die. Just look at my back and follow me!”

At that, the soldiers nodded their heads in agreement, and immediately the wizards and soldiers fired magic and arrows at the enemy camp at once.

And I took a group of soldiers and charged madly like a madman, no, like a drugged madman.

“Ura! Uraaa!!”
