Academy Genius Commander
Chapter 303
303 – Training is like actual combat, actual combat is like training (2)
Two months later, my family and I moved to the city of Bavaria, where the headquarters of the Commander of the Faroesia Area Army is located. .
Normally, nobles often pack up their belongings and take them with them, so it often takes more than 3 months just to move, but since I have been living as a soldier ever since I was possessed here, I don’t have anything I am particularly attached to, so I moved quickly. Could come
Fortunately, my wives tend to follow my tendencies well, so there were no problems.
And the day after I finished moving, I decided to visit the unit a week earlier than the scheduled move-in report date.
If you are unlucky, it is an action that could result in a court-martial, but before coming here, I told His Majesty that as the newly appointed ‘Army Commander’, a prior visit is necessary to understand the actual situation of the unit. I asked for permission. Since I received it separately, there will be no problem.
According to the purpose of my unprepared visit, I changed the rank badge on my military uniform from 4 stars to 3 diamonds symbolizing captain.
The reason is that in order to check the status of this unit, I disguised myself as a lieutenant or captain and tried to look around.
Only then will the soldiers and other officers stop pretending in front of me and I can see the real thing very clearly.
“When I was in Reichburg, Marquis Benner said that the Faroesian army was a mess in many ways, even though it was the southern front line of the empire. “Would you like to see how much it is?”
And I walked straight into the guard post.
Is it because the soldiers who are on duty despite being on the front line in name and name have never been attacked by the Faroesian Union for about 30 years?
At the guard post where the soldiers on duty were, there was a glass filled with beer, and the soldiers were just chatting.
I can tolerate small talk except for the Imperial Guard, but I can’t tolerate beer.
“hahahaha, that’s right, Corporal. “Didn’t I tell you that it was at a festival that I met Anna, who is now my fiancé?”
“It was like that. But then, how on earth could she be engaged to a woman from a knightly family, even though she was the third daughter of a serf family?”
“Not only did Anna get lost at that moment, but her damn kidnappers were trying to take her away. Ah, I thought that a man must save a woman in such a crisis, so she jumped in without hesitation. And she found out when she met her father-in-law, Sir Daniel, that Anna was a knight. “But in order to get a marriage permit, I have to pass the sergeant commission, which is killing me.”
In Korean terms, it is a story about a man who earns 2 million won a month and his life turns around by seducing Dongsu, a woman from a well-to-do family. How on earth did he do that?
It’s a very interesting story that makes me curious, but what’s important right now is not that, but checking the condition of the unit.
I suppressed the curiosity that arose in my heart and entered the guardhouse, where the soldiers on duty crossed their spears to block my path and asked:
“Stop, stop. “Can I ask about your loyalty, official rank, and purpose of your visit?”
“This is Captain Peter Drime. “As of today, I have been appointed as the commander of the 2nd company of the 3rd battalion, and I am on my way to report my transfer to the unit.”
If the rules were followed, since I did not give the secret code properly, I would either be subdued with a spear, or the private, the second-in-command, would have to go to the battalion headquarters to check if I was really the new captain coming to transfer.
I was thinking that if you choose one of these two and deal with it correctly, I will write you a vacation card of about 10 nights and 11 days like a division commander who gives out reward vacation days.
These two, as if they had always done so, very naturally removed the window blocking my path.
“Loyalty, confirmed. “Go in!”
“Loyalty, by the way, where is the 2nd Company’s barracks?”
“If you go about 100 meters ahead, there is a sign. Go and see and you will find out.”
“Thank you for the detailed information. “Where do you belong?”
“This is the 4th platoon of the 1st company of the 3rd battalion.”
After hearing that, I decided to remember the name of the 3rd Battalion very well.
He is a person whose name and character are at the forefront, but who makes you very curious about how he was educated, so I think it will be necessary to call him in separately and have an interview later.
As I walked inside, I checked the condition of the unit’s facilities and the soldiers’ working status.
Because it was a local military headquarters, the soldiers were not drunk and making jokes like in the Tang Dynasty army, but the management of the unit did not seem to be very good.
The long spears that soldiers carry while on duty were not rusty, but they looked dull, as if they had not been cleaned properly for a few days.

If you look closely at the facilities, you will see that they are not properly cleaned, so you can often see places that look quite dirty, and there is a strong odor around the restrooms.
According to military management regulations, toilets are to be cleaned once a day by emptying urine and feces and spraying water.
Putting other things aside, if you do not follow bathroom hygiene rules in a military camp where hundreds, if not thousands, of tens of thousands of soldiers are quartered, a catastrophe will occur.
In the case of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the number of troops he lost during the battle was quite small.
Because the importance and management of ‘sanitation’ was not well known due to the limitations of the times, there are often records of infectious diseases spreading in naval forces where thousands of people were stationed together.
According to a professor who once gave a special lecture on Yi Sun-sin on YouTube, in one naval battle, 20 times as many soldiers died from infectious diseases as the number who died during the battle…
“If the worst happens, with various infectious diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever, hundreds or thousands of people could be left behind without even being able to fight. When I was working at the Chief of Staff, it was incorporated into the rules of hygiene management, and its effectiveness has been proven for a long time. I can’t believe that such basic things are still not observed. If you were to grade the unit’s management status, it would be about 30 points out of 100. In normal times and not on the front line, it is not a very bad situation. However, considering that we will be deployed to Farosia in the future, it will be no use in this state. “It’s not enough.”
Thinking deeply, I walked toward the commander’s office.
On the way, I changed my shoulder epaulets, hat, and collar decorations into ones that fit the formality of a four-star general, and before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the commander’s office door.
“This is Captain Peter Jaeger, who has been appointed as commander of the Faroesia Cities Union District Army as of today. “Can I come in, Lieutenant General Eckert?”
As soon as I finished speaking, the door opened and the lieutenant general stood up from his desk and saluted me.
“Loyalty!”
“Loyalty.”
After accepting the salute, I naturally sat down at the desk of the commander of the defense forces, and Lieutenant General Eckert stood in front of me with a perfectly still posture.
“Please sit comfortably on the sofa in front of you.”
As soon as the lieutenant general heard my words, he stood upright in a more angular posture.
“No! “I feel more comfortable this way.”
“Is that so? “I don’t have a long story to tell, so I’ll keep it short.”
Is it because my voice and expression contained displeasure?
Lieutenant General Eckert’s expression looked full of worry and worry.
It’s unfortunate for him, but the lieutenant general’s uneasy premonition will come true.
I said with a sigh.
“I, Captain Peter Jaeger, am disappointed in the headquarters of the Allied Forces of Faroesia.”
Even in the Reich Empire, when you become a company commander, that is, an officer of the rank of captain or higher, the words you often use, and their meaning and weight change as you rise in rank.
This is because, unlike Korea, the Reich Empire was a class-based society based on strict ranks and titles.
For example, when a captain is disappointed, it ends with a group admonition or a bit of a scolding, but the moment an officer above the rank of colonel expresses disappointment, an officer’s position is changed, or a terrible fight begins with the regiment commander.
But what if I, who gave 4 stars, used the word ‘disappointed’?
In response to the pressure from the local army commander, executives and soldiers voluntarily save up vacation time for a month, and are unable to properly rest even during personal maintenance, and must constantly perform daily tasks such as cleaning the unit and cleaning weapons.
And who is the friend who is the direct target of the craving? During that month, you will be under such mental pressure that you might think it would be better to die.
So, I have been a captain for about 3 years, and I am well aware of the repercussions of the word ‘disappointment’ coming out of the captain’s mouth, so I have only used that word less than 10 times in total.
“Lieutenant General, it’s me. I received His Majesty’s permission and came earlier than I was supposed to, so I wasn’t expecting a grand parade or anything like that. “You know how I feel, right?”
As soon as the Lieutenant General heard me, the color disappeared from his face.
“Yes, yes!”
“By the way. The unit management is a bit sh*t. The importance of toilet cleaning has already been suggested since I was a brigadier general, and since it was introduced by the Chief of Staff, it has been proven to play a significant role in reducing infectious diseases. The bathroom here must have not been cleaned for a few days and was giving off a terrible smell to the surrounding area. Moreover, it is a weapon used by front-line troops, and even though it is not rusted, I saw with my own eyes that its management was in complete disrepair. “It is truly a pity.”
As the words of regret were added, the lieutenant general began to break into a cold sweat.
“You know what’s even more absurd? No, I was interrogated at the guard post, saying I had transferred here as a company commander under the pseudonym Peter Drime. But shockingly, they let me in without even checking whether a captain named Peter Draime had actually been transferred here or not. hehehe, if I were an assassin, you would be dead. No, I could have cut off 200 people like I did in Lichen and left.”
The lieutenant general shed cold sweat like rain.
In his eyes, I could see the agony and worry that it would be better to die.
“You know that I am somewhat close to Your Majesty, right?”
“Yes! “I know that you risked your life and fought honorably on the Litzen Hill for your Majesty on the Swiss front!”
“What do you think will happen if I report to Your Majesty that the Faroesia-area army managed by the Lieutenant General is in shambles? Well, it’s not like the family will be divided. “Wouldn’t he face many obstacles when he is discharged from the military?”
The unit management is not a complete mess, so there is a possibility that there will be no direct punishment, but all kinds of dishonor will follow when you are discharged.
If that happens, the future of those who serve as soldiers belonging to their own family becomes very dark.
Well, problems can arise such as being promoted to major delayed by 4-5 years or meeting the conditions for being promoted to lieutenant colonel but being overtaken by a junior with one year less service for mysterious reasons.
And the person who caused this problem will have to live through a time of great pain by being the target of many backstabs in the Reich Empire, where honor is more important than life.
The lieutenant general, imagining such a future, suddenly began to tremble like a person with chills.
However, since he is a general who has served for decades, taking into account his achievements, let us just issue a strong corrective order.
“Ah, if I still have some good news for you. Since this visit is unofficial, the Chief of Staff will not acknowledge it if I write a report. That means you will not be disciplined.”
“Thank you, thank you! “If you tell me what to fix, I will fix anything!”
“…… I am officially moving in here in a week. Is that possible?”
“Even if I make my officers stay up all night for a week! “You will never be disappointed again!”
I waved my hand to stop him.
“And then mistakes become more frequent. So just roll with it in moderation and do it in moderation. Then, three days later, the 7th Guards Division will be assigned to this unit. The 7th Guards Division is scheduled to fight a mock battle with a division belonging to the Faroesia Army in two months. So be aware and prepare. When you come back a week later, you will do it as long as you don’t disappoint me. “Let’s just go.”
“Loyalty!”
“Loyalty.”
When I visited the Perosian Army again a week later, I was not disappointed.
I didn’t say what downside there was in the process, but something terrible must have happened…
And two months later, I designated the 18th Division of the Faroesia County Army as the target for the 7th Guards Division’s mock battle.
