I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 421

EP.421

As I sat on the Grand Duke’s throne, Carol said with concern.

“Marshal, how about getting some rest?”

Of course, I, Peter Jaeger, have been struggling since morning until today, so no matter how physically strong I am, my body has already been exhausted for a long time.

However, I cannot stretch out and rest like this because my subordinates are outside…

“I am a noble! If you kill a noble, you will be punished!”

“Deus used that damned heavenly punishment to tear down your castle walls!”

“Those bastards of the Reich Empire…”

I am still fighting the enemy with swords and weapons outside the royal palace, and it is something that a soldier should not do for me to stretch out and rest alone, even though my limbs are intact.

“are you okay. Let’s get some rest after this negotiation. Anyway, I will retire after completing these negotiations and taking Warsaw. “I have a lot of money and territory saved up, so I will live in a villa with my wives and enjoy all kinds of pleasures.”

After hearing what I said, Carol looked puzzled and asked.

“How do you mean?”

“My villa also has a mountain. I’m going to hunt there. You can also barbecue the animals you catch and eat them on the spot. “We’ll chat about our memories while fishing and cook food for the Bastion division guys who often visit.”

As I said that, I imagined my daily life after retirement.

Laura No, and when I go into the mountains and hunt huge animals such as wild boars, deer, and sometimes bears, I bring them back and dismember them.

Charlotte and Louise will grill a barbecue or make a stew and share it with the villagers and enjoy the banquet.

I plan to raise my children with love and play with them until they get married, in case they have to leave home to go to an academy.

A life of slowly growing old, sleeping in the same bed with my four wives at night and making love when our eyes meet.

‘It’s monotonous and peaceful, but it’s the most beautiful ending.’

After hearing what I said, Carol suddenly shed tears.

“Why are you crying when you hear about my happy retirement plan?”

The guy spoke while gritting his teeth in a very unusual way.

“Isn’t the Marshal retiring because he has contributed so much as a subject that he has no choice? “What will the rest of us do now that someone who could still be active for another 30 years is leaving?”

“Well, there are many outstanding generals other than me. This time, Senior General Dönitz…”

“There are many other generals who are very talented and I have a lot to learn from, but it hasn’t been long since I met the Marshal, and didn’t you tell me that you will teach me a lot in the future?”

When I heard that, my heart sank a little.

I thought I had no regrets about retiring, but damn it.

“The guys who fought with me in the Bastion Division also say that their wish is to be congratulated by the Marshal, not anyone else, when they enter the Youth Academy (Academy Preparatory Course) for their achievements this time.”

I waved my hand after hearing that.

“Hey, stop it.”

“Everyone says they want to be like the enemy. Even though you are the highest-ranking person in Bastion and in Polsky Castle, didn’t you spare your life and fight at the forefront, and did the greatest feat? “Everyone wants to follow in the shadow of the enemy.”

Aside from me, there were many other high-ranking people here, and Carol’s remarks were close to being hasty.

It seems that no one values those words.

Apparently, Karl is the highest meritorious civilian among the civilians who fought in Bastion, and has already received the Bronze Knight’s Sword Medal and Territory, and is an officer whose name value is very high compared to his rank.

Of course, this is because of hard work, skill, luck, and judgment… Anyway, his position is not shaken by any political attack.

Aside from the fact that he is my lieutenant, the officers at the rank of lieutenant do not dare to criticize him.

Aside from that, it seems like everyone is sad that I’m retiring and they don’t like it or anything like that.

However, my retirement is mainly due to ‘political’ reasons, so I guess everyone is reluctant to come forward and say anything.

I had no choice but to take off Carol’s helmet and then pat her as if comforting a child.

“A flower that knows when to fall is beautiful, and the actions of a general who knows when to leave are beautiful. But why are you crying so much? “An officer who even received the Bronze Knight’s Sword at that age.”

“Marshal…”

“Don’t cry. I’m not dying, I’m just retiring with honor. Who knows, when I retire, I might receive the dukedom and become Duke Jaeger. Then, for your consideration, I will go out and give a lecture as an academy instructor for about a semester.”

As the atmosphere was about to become increasingly damp, the door to the banquet room opened.

“Marshal! “The ambassadors will arrive soon.”

At those words, I clapped my hands and said.

“Everyone pay attention. It’s nice that you feel sorry for me retiring, but my work and yours are not over yet. So, I want you to know that there is no time to cry or feel sorry.”

Everyone listened to me, understood what I was saying, and had an unwavering attitude.

“Now, this may be my last negotiation on the battlefield, so I hope everyone will watch closely. “I will do my best to show you that I am not ashamed of myself.”

Not long after that, ambassadors from Stockholm, Austria and Czechia entered the room.

Everyone had a confident gait before coming in, but as soon as they stepped inside, their faces turned pale.

The Czech Republic ambassador covered his mouth with both hands as if he was dumbfounded.

“…… what’s this? “What the f*ck is this?”

The Austrian ambassador grabbed the back of his neck and bit into a foamy mouth.

“Oh my…”

Finally, the Stockholm ambassador, the oldest of them all, just looks around and remains silent.

Then he gritted his teeth and pointed at me.

“No matter how much the Grand Duchy was defeated, aren’t these all nobles who have received titles? How can you be so cruel? Deus will not forgive!”

In addition, the nobles were tied up and their heads were pierced.

Our Royal Highness, the Grand Duke of Warsaw, has a bruised face, has no dignity or dignity, and is just moaning, while the ambassador from Stockholm is shouting in such a dignified manner.

In terms of negotiating stance, that’s correct, but wow… they’re amazing people.

“Is that so? That is why Deus performed the miracle of destroying the walls of Polski Castle.”

When I responded to faith with faith, the guy had no more words to reply and quietly lowered his head.

“That’s right, Ambassador Hansen…”

I put my hand on Hansen’s shoulder and tapped him.

It’s something that can never be forgiven diplomatically, but I’m the best among them anyway, so if you try to trick me, I’ll either attack you with a knife or if I don’t have confidence, I’ll even commit suicide.

Either that or surrender cruelly.

Whichever one I choose, I must think of Randel and the soldiers and people who died in Bastion and produce the best result I can.

“Let’s start peace negotiations. “As smoothly as possible.”

Han Sen looked around and spoke in a trembling voice.

“Okay, then the conditions we propose are that each country will pay 6 duchies and 500,000 gold.”

I chuckled at those words.

The conditions were definitely improved compared to when the 4 duchies were conquered.

Yes, it’s not that I don’t understand because about 6 is a huge amount of land. If you think about it on the Korean Peninsula, it’s the size of Gyeongsangnam-do and South Gyeongsang Province combined.

If there are three of those, it’s pretty good, right?

‘But in the current situation, it’s like chewing gum.’

“You heard wrong. I beg your pardon?”

Ambassador Hansen responded again.

“6 duchys and 500,000 gold.”

“6 duchys and 500,000 gold. Are you really okay with those conditions?”

Han Sen broke into a cold sweat and scratched his head at those words.

“Yes, it is very difficult for us to make any more concessions…”

“That’s right. So what happens if I don’t make concessions? Are you planning on starting a war? Would you like to declare war on me and the Reich Army?”

“But we also have a situation…”

After hearing those words, I went and stood next to one of the barons who was tied up holding a sword.

“Hey, what is your name?”

The baron who had just surrendered responded cautiously.

“Recoil! Recoil Baron Hermann! Please, please, please spare me and my wife and children!!! “Your Excellency Marshal!”

The other ambassadors were shocked by those words.

“No way, no way? Are you planning to execute a nobleman here?”

“…No, no matter what, a nobleman?”

“Isn’t this the person who surrendered?”

It may be necessary to kill a noble during a war, but he does not cut off the head of a noble who surrenders.

This is common sense handed down from the continent of Europa.

But I just stood behind him.

“Baron Recoil Hermann, out of respect for your honor, I, Marshal of the Reich Empire, will personally send your soul before Deus. “You will not go to hell like the other dead.”

The Baron shouted wildly.

“I don’t want to die! Please save me! “Didn’t I surrender?”

I slashed my sword at that guy.

This was done to discourage the ambassadors, but their facial expressions are very eye-opening.
