I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 54

EP.54

When Major Peter Yeager was fighting fiercely near the enemy base.

Reich Crown Prince Michael von Reich was commanding an army of 32,000 men with the help of his second-in-command, Count Benner.

In some ways, he may seem like a vicious business owner who leaves everything to his subordinates and only takes away the public service, but no one refuted the crown prince’s decision.

This is because, no matter how much the crown prince is the highest ranking person among the royal family and has acquired knowledge of military administration at the level of an academy student from a young age.

There is a very high possibility that you will make an irreversible mistake if you try to lead on your own without having any direct experience in participating or leading in the field.

This is because it was clearly seen that the commander-in-chief’s most important role was to select the best strategy among the numerous strategies designed by the general staff, and that he was reaping results.

“I would like to report to you that when we changed our stance and attacked the station, Colonel Alexei Derenkov, commander of the 9th Czechavian Regiment, was killed by a stray bullet!”

“The Czech 12th Regiment cannot withstand our attack and is retreating!”

“The 1st Division of the Czech Defense Force has begun reorganization due to considerable damage!”

Even commanders who studied at the academy, had honorable careers, and graduated from the General Staff College often lose or have poor results in wars of this scale.

Even if it is limited to operational selection, selecting and carrying out the right military operation to drive out the enemy with relatively little damage is not something that any commander can do.

So, although everyone was not talking because the war was still in full swing, they began to harbor confidence that the current crown prince would become a great emperor in the future.

“Shouldn’t we send troops to support Franz’s division, which acts as a hammer on Count Benner’s side?”

“What the Crown Prince said makes sense, but in times like this, no news is good news. However, it would be a good idea to send a messenger to check. “Lieutenant Philip, come back right now!”

At those words, a lieutenant named Philip led three knights under his command and quickly rushed out.

At the same time, Count Benner sent a signal to the Crown Prince, and Michael immediately pointed his baton straight ahead and spoke.

“Hurry the soldiers. We must attack more vigorously. Drive like a storm without stopping. “We have to make them lose their senses!”

Soon after, the lieutenants and staff explained the simple command in more detail and delivered it.

“The entire army must increase its speed and annihilate the enemy army in front of it. Victory is with us.”

“The enemy troops are like a ragtag bunch. “Don’t be afraid and move forward.”

“The 4th Division is late! “This is the order of His Majesty the Crown Prince: Increase your speed.”

When the crown prince and the count looked at this with joy, confident that they had secured victory.

Four cavalrymen rode on horseback right in front of the main camp and hurried to report.

“This is Warrant Officer Teemo of the Jaeger Battalion.”

The headquarters, including Count Benner, did not like the idea of a major directly contacting the headquarters to which the crown prince belonged, no matter how much Major Jaeger was favored by the crown prince.

This is because in these cases, it is usually either a violation of the reporting system or unfortunate news that the battalion was destroyed during the attack. Because it’s one of two things.

“Report.”

“The Jaeger Battalion is currently attempting to break through the last defensive force right in front of the enemy base.”

As soon as they heard that, the staff began to cheer.

“Damn I won!”

“Victory is just around the corner! It was good. “I’m going home soon!”

This is because once the main force they belong to has reached the defense right in front of the enemy’s main camp while holding on to the rest of the enemy’s troops, there are no more soldiers for Czechia to mobilize.

It was because the news meant that victory was just around the corner, but the face of the officer who came as the messenger still looked serious.

“I told you to tell the battalion commander that considering that the enemy regiment commander in charge of the final defense is not desperate, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army is expected to flee to Visocia Castle.”

After hearing those words, the crown prince threw his baton in front of the messenger and said:

“Dirty, shameful bastard! A man called the Commander-in-Chief is trying to run away! Do you think Major Jaeger’s report, Count Benner, is valid?”

The Count sighed and spoke until the ground fell.

“No matter how well we surrounded the enemy, 30 to 40% of the enemy troops will move to Visocia Castle depending on the commander’s control. “If the Commander-in-Chief abandons his honor and engages in a defensive battle in Visocia Castle, in the worst case scenario, even if we achieve a tactical victory in Visocia, we may not be able to achieve our strategic goal of occupying Visocia.”

And when the commander of the division to which Major Jaeger belonged also sent a messenger with similar information, the crown prince became angry and gave an order.

“Unleash the available cavalry and prevent the enemy headquarters from escaping!”

The crown prince, who gave the order so angrily, sat back down in his chair and thought while stroking his shocked heart.

‘I selected him because I thought he was useful, but I never thought he would play such an active role for me. Major Jaeger, you must be mine no matter what. ‘I will make it so.’

**

“Captain Jaeger! The Otto Battalion has signaled with its flag! “They say they will join the fight!”

“The Burg Battalion is attacking the right side of the enemy regiment without asking for permission!”

“The enemy regiment is slowly losing momentum. I think we will break through soon.”

All of a sudden, a lot of information comes rushing in and it’s very confusing, but to sum it up, this is the situation now.

We managed to take advantage of the melee situation and forcefully push in and cut down the enemy troops, who were larger in number than ours, and almost eliminated them all.

Suddenly, two idiots who are blinded by their majors are chasing after me with their mouths open, asking for just one bite.

Normally, this would be a situation where I would be so angry and excited, but now I don’t have time to worry about the bugs rushing in to eat from the banquet table prepared by others.

“Send a signal to both battalions. We’ll hand over the Czechavian units we’re dealing with, so you can split the major duties yourself. “Our unit will break through like this and go to the enemy base!”

Here, at the moment, ‘we only capture the commander-in-chief’s flag that the enemy had left behind.’ I almost added, but for the soldiers fighting to the death on the front lines, if it becomes known that the commander-in-chief has escaped, it will come as a very shocking and depressing fact.

So, I will let you know when the fight is somewhat resolved.

Just in case, I have requested a horse from Lieutenant Laura, so as soon as I arrive, I can ride it and go hunt down the enemy’s high-ranking officials.

Of course, I also cannot understand why a bastard called the Commander-in-Chief runs away without any sense of responsibility because the situation is turning against him. What should I do?

From a young age, he ate his conscience in a bowl of milk, learned from his mother and father how to make the enemy angry, and was defeated in battle due to his lack of skills. That’s the strategy the cowardly child chose to save his life.

Also, when I analyzed the situation of the war, I realized that the commander-in-chief was not so competent that he sensed the signs of defeat and ran away.

It appears that he just ran away to protect his life at all costs.

But it was the best strategic choice.

“Commander-in-Chief of Czechia, damn you bastard, give me your head!”

After shouting so intensely, our unit broke through the regiment led by Colonel Czechvia and finally entered the enemy’s main camp.

Flags symbolizing the commander of the Czechoslovakian defense forces, various unit flags, desks, chairs, weapons, etc. were disorganized and disorganized.

The officers and soldiers of our unit looked at it with dejected expressions.

“f*ck, f*ck! “Why isn’t the commander-in-chief here?”

“Where on earth did you run away, a poor child without a mother or father?”

“No… I can’t f*cking do this.”

Because I had already predicted this possibility, I gave the command in a calm voice.

“Attention! Although the damn commander-in-chief jumped out, it was our battalion that first occupied the enemy base. “Recover the commander-in-chief’s flag and the flags of each division and return to the headquarters where the division commander is.”

When I gave the order, Laura appeared on horseback with 30 soldiers.

“I brought 30 horses as ordered by Lieutenant Laura von Wehner.”

Considering that if you had been a little late here, you would have lost that much time as you had less time to chase the enemy, and if you had brought it in sooner, it would have been even more messed up as you would have gotten into trouble during the melee.

Laura must have checked the situation around her and came here with her horse at the best time.

“Well done Lieutenant! Okay, now I will give you new orders. The platoon leaders and soldiers of the 12th Knight Company who were resting in the back who are confident in riding horses should come out now. “I’m going to pick up the heads of the fallen enemy soldiers who are scattered and running away, as well as the children of the commander-in-chief.”

After giving that order, 1st Company Commander Marco asked:

“And what about the rest?”

“Each platoon will be commanded by the deputy platoon commander, and our battalion will be commanded by you and return to where the division commander is. After that, use your discretion and follow the division commander’s instructions or take a rest.”

Then I got on the horse Laura had brought and gave the order.

“I am going to send all the cowardly fugitives out of this world. “Everyone, please borrow a one-handed sword or mace from your colleagues.”
