Academy Genius Commander

58 – The Emperor just scooped up (2)

Here, ministers who support the crown prince and ministers who do not secretly check each other, and their desires to make the prince they want to become emperor collide.

So, when discussing rewards, he asked for a more generous reward for the merits of a general belonging to the same faction as himself.

The achievements of other generals are reduced and balanced, and orders such as property, territory, title, and promotion are issued at the appropriate level.

So again, the opposing faction stepped up and said, ‘This is against the rules! So, at the level of the Minister of Military Affairs, you should reward him to the maximum extent that he can suggest.’

This is a level of achievement that the emperor himself has to reward, just like the last time on the Rhineland front.

There was no objection at all because the consensus was formed that the person who rebelled was an idiot.

“I think Jim should give a generous reward of 3,000 gold and territory, including special promotion, to the individual major. What do you think?”

“Your Majesty is right. If so, apart from the reward, I think we should discuss the issue of how many ranks to promote and how much territory to grant in detail.”

With that said, different proposals came up.

“I, Otto von Mayer, think it would be a good idea to give the Major a promotion to the second rank and the two estates of Raynor and Schwartz near the Bruno estate. There is no feeling that it seems a little excessive, but since the achievement is so great, it is fair to reward this much.”

“As the finance minister said, his achievements are great, but he is a young man who is rare in the history of the empire. So why don’t you promote only 1 rank and give only Raynor’s estate?”

Since he was the emperor, Fernando, who was closer to the royal family if he had to argue, began to think deeply when he heard those words.

This is because even if Major Jaeger was over 30 years old, it would not be a problem if he was immediately given the rank of colonel, but because he was young, he did not go through the various posts that he had to go through to get a star.

In particular, it was a problem that I did not go through the staff college.

As you can see, when the crown prince succeeded him, Major Yeager would wear a star next to him and expand the empire as a sword.

It was because there was room for friction with the army if the emperor said that he would appoint someone who had been promoted to colonel without even attending the staff college.

Meanwhile, in this bloody political scene while the emperor is in trouble.

The two factions engaged in a brawl that did not cross the line beside the pensive Emperor.

“Hey, Mr. Treasurer, no matter how you say it, a colonel at the age of 21! In the history of the Empire, even the imperial family has never been promoted so quickly!”

“Isn’t it because no one has made such a feat at the age of 21? Isn’t that right, Minister Otto’s Army!”

“… I’m not saying it’s wrong. If I had been ordered to do that at my age… I would have probably just been discharged.”

It was to this extent because he was self-respecting in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, all sorts of immoral curses and criticism would have come and gone to make the prince they support the emperor.

“What do you think of Marshal Adelheit? Considering military service, do you think the 2nd class special promotion is unfair?”

“It’s not unfair since you’ve made that much contribution, but if you’re promoted from major to colonel, isn’t age an issue? Since I was still young, the process I had to go through was omitted. There will be another opportunity, so wouldn’t it be better to finish at the rank of lieutenant colonel?”

“I don’t know since when the Imperial Army started to value age so much!”

when the fight is about to intensify.

“You know the Lords’ loyalty to the Empire, but you shouldn’t forget that Jim is here too! to do it in moderation. According to what I heard, the pursuit of the Imperial Army continued even after the deputy commander was captured. Bring the detailed report of Major Jaeger’s activities at that time. Jim will see and judge.”

After the emperor said a word, the meeting hall became very quiet, wondering if there was a commotion.

Satisfied with that appearance, Fernando began to read the report carefully to decide how to raise Major Jaeger and forge him into the crown prince’s sword.

If he is seen coveting small achievements even after such great achievements, he is deliberately ordering a promotion to the second rank to put him in an appropriate level of difficulty.

Then, you will be happy at first, but you will see the real spicy taste of politics because of the constantly flying checks from places you never imagined.

Just as a child corrects his mistakes after being scolded by his parents, he will be humbled and become a good general.

If not, an officer who knows how to understand politics and other people’s minds might want to grant more perks than slowing down the promotion.

If you already have an eye for analyzing Major Jaeger’s strategy and tactics, it is incomparably better than that of many generals who have accumulated experience through rich experience, and in addition, you have acquired the skills to live as a member of a high-ranking person.

Now, as long as you give him the money, he is saying that he lacks nothing to devote himself to working for the crown prince.

For nearly an hour, while the emperor was reading the report, some of the ministers asked for their understanding and went to the bathroom.

“Since we disagree like this, I, as the emperor, will mediate your arguments. Are there any complaints?”

The ministers were satisfied and agreed that they could not put in everything the opposing faction wanted.

“First of all, since Major Peter Yeager is only 21 years old and very young, I think it is too much to give him a special promotion to the second rank. Therefore, instead of being promoted to lieutenant colonel in nongongsang.”

The emperor took a moment to catch his breath and continued his speech.

“Considering that it is difficult for him, who will become a pillar of the empire, to maintain dignity due to his low wealth as he is from a commoner, we will grant him three territories: Rainer, Schwarz, and Salzheim.”

At those words, it was difficult for the high-ranking officials, including ministers belonging to each faction, to protest at all.

This is because the emperor increased the territory according to the request of the prince faction, and defeated the 1st class special promotion as the anti-prince faction wanted.

“In addition, although he did not graduate from the Staff College, his ability to analyze strategies and tactics and his ideas have already been proven to be excellent since he was a student platoon leader. Considering that it is a waste of talent to be left as a student at the staff college, after being promoted to lieutenant colonel, he will be appointed as a professor at the staff college for two years, and then treated the same as other graduates.”

Although the marshal, the minister of military affairs, and each department in the army opened their eyes wide in surprise at the words of the emperor, who set a ridiculous precedent for the staff college.

Elites who had passed the competition of at least 1:1000, including their classmates, seniors, and juniors, until they reached the spot right away, could not resist.

Because, while analyzing the war on the Czech Republic front for reference in future wars, they agreed that it would be a great loss to the Empire not to give Major Jaeger a chance to teach the reserve army elites the knowledge of tactics and strategy. .

“In addition, Major Jaeger will be given the title of Baron in high regard for his contribution to turning the Empire’s defeat into victory on the Rhineland Front and for his performance in this war. Those who are dissatisfied, let them speak now.”

Since conferring titles is the prerogative of the emperor, with the exception of very special cases, expressing a dissenting opinion could be considered as challenging the imperial authority.

In the case of Major Yeager, his achievements were so outstanding that there was no particular reason to object.

So the nobles who attended the meeting had no choice but to agree to the emperor’s proposal.

The reward for Major Yeager was determined as follows.

1. Sergeant in the 3 provinces of Raynor, Schwarz, and Salzheim

2. Promoted to lieutenant colonel and appointed as a staff university professor (graduation processing after performing teaching duties for 2 years)

3. Sergeant Baron.

4. 3,000 gold bounty

Although there was no promotion beyond a few ranks like the last time, it was the best reward that contained everything needed as a noble of the empire and a future general at the same time.

After confirming the reward, the emperor felt envy in his heart that the crown prince had a good commander under his command.

That’s also true, because if he had had a commander like Major Jaeger under his command when he was the crown prince, he’d have harpooned the Francois Republic for some reason.

On the other hand, high-ranking officials in the Imperial military felt that their children, now captains or majors, needed to listen to his lectures in order to survive.

I secretly went to the president of the Army Staff College and asked for it.

‘By order of His Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger will come as a professor, but isn’t my son confirmed to be admitted in two years anyway? Please pull that.’

Normally, it would be right to wait until the admission order, but since it was a request from people with more than 3 or 4 stars, this kind of trick was easily passed without breaking the law.

Thanks to this, there has been a sudden increase in the student admission quota of the staff university this year.
