I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 56

EP.56

“Now that the second-in-command is dead, if I die here, it will be nothing but a dog’s death!”

“Break through the center and spread out!” “At least one more person can return alive!”

“Even if I have to crawl on the ground now, I have to return alive!”

His second-in-command was killed a few seconds ago, so he must have been very embarrassed, but instead of saying ‘charge in with all his might’ and ‘get revenge on the second-in-command’, he was trying to save the people here

… Aren’t these young officers who are highly likely to be capable in Czechia?

Otherwise, when the unit is destroyed, there would be no reason to run away with the second-highest escape commander.

And even if not, what if we have nothing to lose?

Of course, if you personally capture each and every one of them alive and take them away, you will receive a large ransom or they will be returned transformed into personnel evaluation points needed for promotion.

These are truly desirable treasures.

“Cancer is out of the question! You guys have to jump to become frogs! The pursuit team should capture them alive if possible! “It’s a lot of money!”

When the chase team heard me say it was a lump of money, they responded by replacing the sword with a blunt weapon or a one-handed weapon.

“Catch it! “They are like gold!”

“Long live the battalion commander! Let’s go in!”

“If you stop quietly, I won’t hit you, so come here! Cute bastard!”

Then our chase team caught them and struck them with blunt objects that didn’t kill them but had the effect of inflicting pain to the point where they wanted to die.

“f*ck, f*ck! “I would rather surrender!”

“Damn it!”

In the meantime, some Czechs who seemed to be of the lowest rank escaped, but there was no need to chase them down.

Because, instead of going into their castles and telling their mothers like the poor elementary school student who got ripped off by their older brother at school, they will clearly tell the people of the Principality of Czechia about the horrors of the Reich army and our battalion.

Then, our reputation will increase without having to spend any promotional money, so aren’t we grateful guys?

Of course, those kids don’t want that one bit, but life is all about results.

So, the soldiers of the pursuit unit under my command captured the knights that the second-in-command was carrying around and gathered them in one place.

Among the prisoners, the one who appeared to be the tallest took off his helmet and shouted loudly.

“Damn Reich sausage bastards! Don’t you know what honor is? Kill it! “Kill me!”

In movies and novels, the scene of a high-ranking person sacrificing his life to protect his honor would look great because it would be portrayed as being loyal to the country and the lord.

The reality is a little different.

This is because loyalty to the country is loyalty, but in this world that seems to be a mixture of the Middle Ages and modern times, if a person of higher rank than a colonel pays a ransom and is released, their social life will end with the stigma of being an unaccountable bastard.

Then, in an aristocratic society where individuals and families are intertwined, not only the lives of oneself but also the lives of one’s children and relatives will go into the abyss.

The exception is when a person is released without paying a single penny in ransom, which is also funny because the logic is said to be ‘since he was respected by the enemy for his loyalty and came out without compensation, it is acknowledged that he did not help the enemy at all.’

However, if you lose the war and die taking responsibility for it, you will most likely not be subject to any social censure.

Other members of the family also receive the bonus of being a family member of an honorable warrior, giving them an advantage when it comes to future advancement.

So, you might be asking me to kill that guy like that, but I can’t listen to that right now.

If you kill a high-ranking person who can be captured alive, such as the battalion commander, your personnel performance will be lowered.

I asked, pointing to the body of the dead second-in-command so that the High One who answered could see it.

“What is the name and title of the dead man over there, and who are you? After listening, I will treat you according to your status according to battlefield customs.”

“Ugh… This is Lieutenant General Nicholas Domtri Makarov. “I am Brigadier General Mikhail Nikolai Parnov, and my followers are officers and staff of his immediate SS unit.”

Seeing how they were running away so thoroughly, I guessed that high-ranking people were running away, but I couldn’t believe that the deputy commander and his staff were all running away.

It’s not like I picked up the first place lottery ticket on the street.

no. If you catch one person with a star and offer it to him, you will be given the privilege of converting his status to an officer as well as a territory that can be called a building in modern times.

If you consider that the general staff of any generation, who are called future generals, are given about 1.5 times the amount when calculating their ransom or achievements.

These are bonanzas that cannot be compared to things like lottery tickets.

And, given the circumstances, the current Commander-in-Chief asshole was probably either dead or captured by the Deputy Commander.

“i get it. First, I will arrest you according to custom and take you to where His Highness the Crown Prince is. To surrender all weapons you have. “We are returning to base like this.”

When I said that, Laura looked at me and asked with a dissatisfied expression.

“Major, the infantry of the Jaeger Battalion may have already reached their limit due to the intense fighting. However, since we, the pursuit party, still have strength, wouldn’t it be better to take advantage of our current advantage and capture or kill at least one more enemy?”

Normally, as Laura said, I would have struggled to achieve even a little more achievement.

However, now our unit has stood out on this front and is doing so well that we are receiving not only jealousy and envy but even hatred from our allies.

So, when the detachment returned, didn’t a high-ranking person as high as a brigadier general come forward during the strategy meeting to capture just one person, such as a major?

“This war has already been won, and it is not difficult to capture more small children and make more major gains. However, Lieutenant, while operating as a detachment, we have achieved the feat of lowering the enemy’s combat power without taking any damage and even reducing supply. “Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right.”

“Furthermore, in this battle, my battalion was the first to enter the enemy commander’s headquarters, secured the commander-in-chief’s flag, killed the enemy’s deputy commander, and succeeded in securing several staff officers. “For a battalion, we did too much.”

In addition, since he completely succeeded in killing the commander-in-chief, or rather succeeded, he indirectly has a stake in subduing the commander-in-chief.

“On the other hand, other units would have achieved a mediocre level of achievement or could not even do that, so they would have gritted their teeth and gone to chase. However, if we take away their last chance to be active, we will create a lot of unnecessary enemies within the Reich Empire.”

When I said this, the officers and soldiers all nodded, showing that they understood that Laura was probably the only one who was greedy for further achievements.

Looking back at them, I shrugged my shoulders and spoke arrogantly.

“Honestly, didn’t they catch at least one staff officer from the lowest-ranking soldiers who joined the pursuit team to the senior knights? You’ll get at least a few gold as a reward, so why are you so greedy? “Let’s live a little leisurely.”

Since 1 gold is approximately one year’s living expenses for a family of 4 to 6 people, all the soldiers and executives who came here had a lump sum of money in their hands.

When I pointed out that reality, the officers and soldiers also realized their position as candidates for financial treatment and their expressions brightened.

“What you said is correct, Battalion Commander. “We are from the same country, so maybe we should share our lives.”

“I also heard a sermon from Deus where he said that sharing what is yours is love. “I suddenly remembered that.”

“When I’m discharged from the military, I’ll have to buy a place to live with Marie in advance, hehe…”

I once again realized that most problems and emotions can be solved with money, both in Korea and in the rest of the world.

Of course, since they don’t have cash yet, trust in the battalion commander may still be applied.

Then, I tapped Lieutenant Laura, who always wanted to be recognized by me, on the shoulder and spoke in a whisper.

“The lieutenant captured Brigadier General Mikhail, right? In addition to that, I am very grateful for your performance in the special unit and for supporting me with a horse when I needed it most. “The commander I saw remembers everything.”

She tried to say thank you, but she felt like she was speaking too loudly, so she signaled for him to be quiet.

If only Lieutenant Laura was treated specially, wouldn’t the other soldiers and officers be upset?

I know how to read people’s psychology well, so of course I don’t make that mistake.

“Count Benner will be very proud when he hears of this performance. The performance you showed was most impressive to this battalion commander. To put it bluntly, other company commanders and officers would never have performed as well as you, Lieutenant Laura, in your first deployment. “I’m so grateful that you’re my lieutenant.”

So we gave up further pursuit and returned to the unit where the crown prince was.

A word from the author (author’s review)

I’m planning to do some research for the time being.

Regular time is 12 noon and regular time is 10 p.m.

However, due to the writer’s circumstances, participation may not be possible.

Jakkka is not a god!!!

In that case, I would appreciate it if you could be lenient and not say too much.

Please look forward to the brilliant performance of the academy’s genius commander.
