Academy Genius Commander

97 – Strangely attracted (3)

From the day after I was summoned by Count Benner, everyone in the 24th Regiment, including myself, was given a break.

Excluding the father-in-law, who is the commander-in-chief, our unit made the greatest achievement in the Northern Army.

Count Benner, commander of the Northern Expeditionary Force, until the next personnel arrangement and non-professional order are given to all soldiers under my command.

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

Because they secretly gave each member of the unit a one-month leave and appropriate money, regardless of their peddling.

Everyone in our unit, whether soldiers, noncommissioned officers, or officers, was enjoying the greatest pleasure possible.

Therefore, it is normal for officers to come to the office where I am staying and have a good time before they leave after being promoted or transferred, saying they are sorry and bringing alcohol and meat.

“Laura, would you like to come down on my lap for a moment?”

“No, you’re thinking of having a drink with the deputy regiment commander and the other officers over there when I go down. I don’t follow them to go out with prostitutes at night, but I don’t like it because it reduces the time for me and the colonel to be alone.”

Saying that, Laura didn’t want to leave my side for the past few days, no matter what Count Benner had instructed her to do.

At least, when I was sleeping, he looked sad and left by my side, but in the morning, he came next to me and woke me up.

So no matter how you look at it, I don’t think it’s a sign that you can’t be satisfied with just kissing.

“That’s true, but soon it’s time to part ways with the officers belonging to the regiment.”

“I know. But my father said that when the colonel gets promoted, the other stray cats will keep tailing him. Thinking of that, the Colonel and I…”

When I saw her eyes saying that, I could intuit that my retreat was completely blocked.

Besides, if it’s a beauty like Laura, I honestly think it’s too much for me.

Of course, considering my position and position, I don’t know how I can get an arranged marriage with a woman with a face and beauty comparable to that of Laura.

The halo of the count family, the beautiful appearance, the excellent fighting ability and insight, and the person who has cherished the supreme and pure love for me for many years.

Even if I’ve really come this far, I’m a person who is too much for me.

In addition, the officers leave behind the words of support for the love of the two young people in response to Laura’s implicit pressure, and enjoy unlimited amounts of alcohol and meat in the hall below the official residence.

Anyway, the order was given to rest except for the minimum office work until the envoy came to inform them of the nongonghaengsang.

“Laura, it’s still daytime, but I’ll wash up and get ready to go to bed.”

I was too shy to say it directly, but when Laura heard that, she nodded with her face flushed red as if she understood my intentions.

“I see, Colonel.”

Just when I made that big decision, there was a sound of someone knocking on the door.

“His Majesty’s envoy has come directly to the 24th Regiment to deliver the nongonghaengsang! The other officers are also getting ready to greet the envoy, so please hurry up, too!”

At these words, the pink atmosphere between the two of us was completely broken… but it can’t be helped.

Ignoring the emperor’s edict was like confessing to treason, so I had no choice but to put off my expectations of spending a happy time with her.

“Let’s change into conquest for now.”

“Yes, Colonel.”

Saying that, Laura got down from my lap and moved to the room assigned to her.

The day I went was market day, so I was going to hold the ceremony on the day I was determined…

Why are you giving notices of promotions and rewards right now, only three hours later?

I made sure no one was around and sighed.

“Ha, f*ck. Is this country?”

**

Bonnie changed into her uniform and went outside to receive the edict.

Although the officers had drunk several liters of beer and wine a few minutes ago, and their faces were red as if they were on fire.

When the messenger sent by the emperor to inform them of the incident appeared, the military banner was raised with the spirit of going to war.

Before announcing the nongong peddling in earnest, a middle-aged man in his 40s holding an edict looked at me and suddenly approached me in an intimate voice.

“hahahaha, isn’t it Colonel Yeager, the Khan Slayer who killed Khan of the barbarians and brought peace to the north? It’s nice to see you like this.”

“You went through a lot to get here, majesty.”

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

That’s how I was convinced when I saw that they were very friendly, unlike the courtiers, who usually only check my identity and immediately start their nongong business.

The fact that the news that that person brought will be full of good news that transcends all of us.

“I, the official Miller von Bayer, will read the document on non-commissioning activities containing His Majesty’s orders.”

Then the envoy unfolded the scroll and said:

“Listen to Peter Yeager, commander of the 24th Regiment, thanks to the great achievements you have made this time, the Empire has prevented the creation of a new great enemy in the north and saved the lives of many soldiers. In particular, he even made a contribution to subjugate the evil Khan Ludvik himself, so it can be said that he made a great contribution that is difficult to find in the history of the empire.”

Although my father-in-law hinted in advance that I would be promoted to brigadier general, and there were a few cases in the history of the empire that I was given a star before the age of 30.

It was only possible when the head of a ducal family, a collateral imperial family, inherited the title at a very young age and made numerous achievements.

I heard that there is no case of a star under the age of 30 in any other case, let alone the young head of another great aristocratic (count, marquis) family.

So, he must be continuing to talk about this as a paving stone for saying that he will ignore this convention.

“In addition to that, if you include the achievements that turned the Empire’s defeat into a great victory several times, there is no doubt that he played an active role for the Reich Empire and the imperial family to an unprecedented extent in the history of the Empire. Therefore, as an exception, Colonel Jaeger is permitted to go beyond the customary promotion to brigadier general.”

Saying that, the two knights behind the envoy set down the sword with the imperial family crest, symbolizing the general, in front of me.

It is seldom used in practice as a symbol of the ability to execute the powers of the emperor in times of emergency, but it signifies the power to kill officers and men below the rank of major in wartime without trial by court martial.

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

Since he acted on behalf of the emperor, a huge investigation was conducted on the cause, and the moment even a small defect was discovered, various disadvantages returned, so he did not use it sparingly.

“In addition, the title is elevated to Viscount, and 30,000 gold is bestowed along with the entire baronial territory of Thoner, Grasten, and Rosenheim.”

30,000 gold is the cost of living for 30,000 households for a year, and Thoner and Grasten are just undervalued because they are northern territories.

Excluding the cornerstone, it is the same as real estate with the potential of a quasi-barony of an empire if it is developed a little.

In addition, the previous barons of the Baron of Rosenheim 100 years ago used the title of great baron in informal settings and boasted of their wealth that was incomparable to that of other barons…

If I get that land in my hands, it will really give me a lot of money to worry about in the future.

“Lastly, the Golden Knight’s Sword Cross Medal is bestowed. Originally, the condition for awarding this medal was to participate as a commander in a battle and win the battle. As a regimental commander, how can he be compared to a commander who led a single division to victory? Therefore, as a special case, I will award Brigadier General Jaeger with the Golden Knight’s Sword Cross.”

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

This is proof that the emperor promised me to be promoted to division commander, no matter how long it would take, if I did not commit treason and nonsense.

However, the promotion to brigadier general was a little too much, so it would take 10 years to be promoted to division general unless a major contribution was made…

“In addition, the 24th Regiment’s vice-captain was promoted to colonel and the entire Puckerhaun Territory, and Major Laura von Venner was awarded the Bronze Knight’s Sword Cross and the Passau Territory…”

All of the officers who worked under my command were promoted to at least 1st to 2nd ranks, and even though there was a difference in size, they all received undeserved lands.

Non-commissioned officers grant the qualifications for admission to the executive officer academy to anyone who wants it, so the benefit of going quickly to raise your status as a semi-nobleman.

Soldiers who are normally alienated were given the choice of either being discharged and receiving huge sums of money, or applying for a noncommissioned officer and rising to the status of driving stakes into the army.

When everyone was so happy, the reading of the edict was finally over.

The envoy secretly whispered in my ear.

“The Minister of Military Affairs has made you, the brigadier general, the manager of the practical and planning operations for the Francois Republic expedition. congratulations The order will arrive in a week. It’s the ‘3rd Vice-Chief of Operations at the General Headquarters’.”

Then the envoy busily left as if he had to go somewhere else, and after I was congratulated by everyone on this day.

On the first day of the banquet, which lasted for a week, with unlimited alcohol and meat, I had to attend only for a short time at the beginning to share the joy and get out.

because.

It was because Laura whispered in her ear not long after the banquet started.

“Commander, I don’t want to sleep alone tonight.”
