I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 179

EP.179

The day before the ceremony to commemorate the establishment of the 7th Guards Division.

“I never thought that Her Highness the Fourth Princess would come instead of Her Highness the Crown Prince. “And that too the day before the founding ceremony.”

We can laugh about it now, but at the time it was quite serious.

I asked for a meeting because I thought I should meet in person and ask if there was something wrong in my relationship with His Majesty that only I was aware of, or if there was something I did wrong that made him not want to meet me.

The next day, His Majesty secretly sent me a handwritten letter.

[Now the crown prince and I have absolute trust in you, but the other generals are showing signs of jealousy. So, I am concerned that if the royal family that symbolizes your 7th division becomes the crown prince, their morale will drop. Therefore, I will send my daughter, Louise von Reich, Fourth Princess of the Empire, to congratulate you on the creation of the division. PS: That child looks up to you, so treat him well.]

I was able to relieve political tension after reading the letter containing His Majesty’s personal joke.

“Even if my 5-star father-in-law were to come, I would die of inconvenience, but he is not the Crown Prince, who has an understanding of the military, and why should he be the Princess? “I don’t know if I’m going through a hard time serving you.”

Except for me, the soldiers and executives had already gone through a lot of trouble due to the general cleaning of the unit.

However, at least Her Highness the Princess wrote a letter requesting, ‘I will attend the unit’s founding ceremony, and before that, I will take a quick tour of the unit, so please refrain from providing excessive entertainment,’ so we were able to eliminate unnecessary review ceremonies.

Except for the day of the unit founding ceremony, it is fortunate that the schedule has been adjusted to a level where cleaning is more thorough than usual during roll call.

If I hadn’t done that, I would have lost a bunch of hair due to stress.

I really lived and thought, ‘I can just train.’ I have never been so happy to hear these words.

“Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General! “Her Royal Highness has arrived.”

As soon as I heard those words, I immediately got up from my office chair and walked out, bowing as soon as the door opened.

“Raise your head, Lieutenant General Jaeger.”

Light blue hair, white skin, deep blue eyes, impressive facial features, and a beautiful body that is overall slender but has a protruding part and a retracted part.

Even if she wasn’t the princess of the empire, she was a beauty, or rather a beautiful girl, who would immediately grab everyone’s attention as she walked down the street.

The princess smiled at me and held out the back of her right hand and said.

“Please show respect by kissing the back of my hand. From now on, you will be a lieutenant general, and you will be the knight who will command the division that fights in my name.”

It is not particularly awkward for me, a lieutenant general, to kiss the back of the princess’s hand.

In this era, it was a natural greeting for an aristocratic man when he met a woman of a higher rank than himself.

However, no matter how much I am the commander of the Guards Division that fights with the honor of Her Majesty the Fourth Princess, they do not usually call me a knight.

If anyone hears this, there is a possibility that they may misunderstand that I am a knight who belongs to the princess and is loyal to her.

“Yes, Her Royal Highness.”

But what can you do? If the higher one wants it, we should do it.

When he kissed the back of her hand, Her Majesty Louise became embarrassed, her face turning as red as an apple, even though she had asked her to do so.

Except for female royals and Laura, I rarely meet the daughters of great nobles, so I don’t feel embarrassed at all even though I have never greeted them like this.

Why on earth does this person act like that even after receiving similar greetings from male nobles in their 50s and 60s above him to young and handsome nobles below him?

“Thank you, Her Highness, for coming all the way from the capital Reichburg to our division in Hamburg. From now on, my wife, Lieutenant Colonel Laura von Wehner, will serve Your Highness, not me. Take a look around the unit like you wanted with her.”

Since the princess is also a woman, it would be much more comfortable to travel around with Laura, a fellow female officer and daughter of the marquis.

This is by no means because I feel burdened by serving His Highness.

“Thank you for your consideration. However, I would like to hear an explanation of this unit directly from Lieutenant General Yeager, who commands the 7th Guards Division that fights under my name. “Can I be a little pushy?”

As Her Majesty spoke, I could see the longing for me in Princess Louise’s eyes as she said that.

So, if I try to leave guidance to Laura or other female officers for no reason, they will be offended.

“I understand, Your Majesty. Instead, no fancy entertainment has been prepared according to His Majesty’s orders. “Please understand if we are somewhat negligent in our hospitality.”

When the princess heard my words, she withdrew her mischievous smile and responded kindly with an expression full of pure kindness.

“What could be more meaningless than having the best troops in the empire disrupt their training and go through unnecessary trouble because of such entertainment? And there is no greater treat for me than having the lieutenant general personally guide me around the unit.”

According to seniors who served as officers, I heard that even if a division commander with two stars came, the unit would be treated with all kinds of entertainment.

It’s nice to see that the members of this empire’s imperial family are taking the initiative to refrain from causing trouble to the soldiers for no reason.

“Instead, Vice Admiral, from now on, when you call me, please do not call me Princess Princess too harshly. Although he does not serve me directly, the lieutenant general is my knight. “From now on, please call me Louise at official occasions as well.”

According to a personal letter sent by His Majesty, the Princess said that she was a girl who admired the knight on a white horse from fairy tales.

It seems that he wants to get closer to me because he is happy to have a unit that fights in his name, regardless of his political interests.

Well, when His Majesty and the Crown Prince sent Her Majesty the 4th Princess here, they ordered her to be friendly with her.

“Yes, Your Highness Louise. Then, I will take you to the parade ground closest to here. “I may not be able to lead the soldiers and give them a fancy reception, but I will show you how strong our 7th Guards Division is as it fights in Your Majesty’s name.”

At those words, Her Majesty Louise smiled brightly and said.

“I’m looking forward to it, Lieutenant General.”

**

No matter how many orders were given by Her Majesty the Princess to carry out the usual schedule, an inspection of a unit is an inspection anyway.

So, I organized only intuitive training that even Her Majesty Louise, who doesn’t know much about the military, can see and feel.

It was a mock battle in which each battalion fought.

Her Royal Highness didn’t know why, but she wanted to intuit the ‘actual training’ that is our unit’s daily life…

“When I was fighting on Richen Hill. Anyone who spears like that is dead! But these guys who eat well and sleep well can only do this much?”

“When I was fighting under Lieutenant General. I couldn’t even imagine being out of breath after just this much training. But these days, the world has become better…”

“When the 7th Guards Division was first formed, they did guerrilla exercises for half a day as a warm-up before these mock battles. “But if the lieutenant general finds out that I’m already this tired, he’ll be so disappointed that he’ll even cry.”

The guys who were founding members of the 7th Division and now serve as senior soldiers and non-commissioned officers are based on their experience fighting in the Battle of Richen Hill, which was a crisis for the empire.

He was thirsting for the new soldiers to the point where they couldn’t even breathe, and was using all kinds of ‘lattes’ as long as they didn’t cross the line.

As a result, the new soldiers, non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers who came in were constantly exceeding their limits without even complaining even though they were undergoing hellish training.

However, in Her Majesty Louise’s eyes, it seemed like she liked the way the soldiers who had overcome the empire’s crisis called ‘Richen Hill’ treated their junior soldiers like that.

“I have inspected many units, but I have never seen one that trains so passionately. And every one of the soldiers and officers who educate their juniors by saying things like that is setting an example in terms of posture and physical strength. That’s cool. “This is a wonderful unit worthy of Lieutenant General Yeager’s unit.”

“Thank you, Your Highness Louise.”

“I feel happy just thinking about the fact that a unit like this is fighting with my name on its back. Originally, I thought I would just watch it in moderation, but the mock battle was more tense than I expected, and the attitude and skills of the soldiers participating in the mock battle were truly surprising. “I will watch everything until the training is over.”

After watching the mock battle that lasted for several hours until late in the afternoon, Her Majesty Louise sincerely praised the soldiers and officers and returned to her quarters.

Naturally, this anecdote spread throughout the 7th Division after training.

After that, Her Royal Highness began to often send me personal letters, and I, who received the letters, often wrote about the 7th Division’s current status and my daily life and sent them to her.

Laura and Anya Charlotte saw this and said that Her Highness would have a rational favor towards me.

“I already have Laura, so how could Her Highness Louise have such feelings? “Neither His Majesty the Emperor nor His Highness the Crown Prince would even dream of it.”
