I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 70

EP.70

Three months have passed since the incident in which the Fifth Prince tried to recruit me.

In the meantime, as a professor at the General Staff College, I continued to lecture students on the subject ‘What is war?’

Before I knew it, the course I was teaching had earned the honor of being the number one course that students at the Staff College wanted to take most.

Of course, the Staff College has never had students vote on which lectures they want to take or conducted a secret internal survey among students.

This is because, as a professor, when I checked the number of students who wanted to take my lecture next semester, the number was as many as 40.

Since there are 25 students a year at the Staff College and 50 students in the two-year course combined, doesn’t that mean that close to 80% of all students want to take my class?

Among the older professors who checked the records, I often heard them swearing at me.

Anyway, if I last just 18 months, I will no longer be a professor at the staff college and will be dispatched to the field as a commander, and I don’t remember doing anything that would get me caught.

There won’t be a single person who can do anything to me.

“When I was first appointed as a professor, I was very worried about how I would conduct my lectures. “I’m kind of used to it now…”

But like the saying goes, there are always unhappy moments in this world, and that doesn’t mean you’re always happy.

Another ordeal was coming to me now.

“Professor Jaeger, Professor Jaeger, are you in there? His Excellency Otto Moritz, Minister of Military Affairs, ordered us to submit an operation plan to the General Staff College. “President Eugen has asked all professors to come to the first operation planning room, so you should go quickly.”

“Okay, let’s go immediately.”

After saying that and changing my clothes again, I thought about it.

Hell, back when I was attending the academy, I was able to spend my vacations comfortably by having fun.

In addition, the military is asking professors at the General Staff College to come up with a perfect operational plan through meetings on how to deal with battles in areas where battles are taking place or will be taking place.

They asked me to write a new thesis or report related to military studies during a short vacation period of only two months.

Moreover, the professor who failed to write a proper thesis here was quickly reassigned, expelled from the central government, and appointed as a local officer.

Additionally, students must use the vacation period to write a short essay called vacation homework in order to see if they are qualified to proceed to the next semester.

In addition, they say that you have to study in advance for what you will learn in the next semester, so you have to study as hard as a front-line operations officer…

“So, in the original novel, most of those who earned stars in the empire or officers who graduated from the Staff College can be described as smart. ”

However, because I have so many new weapons and tactical strategies, including the war-related studies I studied in my past life and the practical combat experience I had in the Rhineland and Czechia, I was able to write my thesis quickly and without difficulty.

This will also be an opportunity to show the capabilities of Peter Yeager.

When I entered the 1st Operational Planning Room that the staff member guided me to, the professors were already having a heated debate there.

“I agree with the statement that the North should be destroyed as you have argued. However, it is difficult with our current power. “You know it well, don’t you?”

“But don’t you say that in the north of the fortress, the leader of the Ludvik tribe is calling himself Khan and uniting his forces? “If you wait and miss the right time, you could end up having to deal with over 10,000 cavalry.”

“It is true that the northern barbarians live a nomadic and agricultural life, so they have a lot of cavalry. However, the ratio is around 40-50%…”

If you look at the atmosphere, it is passionate and heated, not much different from the meetings of high-ranking people in Czechia.

Otto von Bismarck, the president of this university and a man with four stars, clicked his tongue as if it was pitiful when he saw the scene.

He then struck the desk with his baton and scolded him.

“Are you still professors at the Empire’s honorable staff college teaching staff officers? Did you not properly read the new material that His Excellency, Minister of Military Affairs, sent you a little while ago? “Let’s start by finding out why the Ludvik tribe is going on a rampage!”

The great president, who was awarded four stars, scolded the professors for talking nonsense, and they sat quietly in their seats.

Other professors also took advantage of this opportunity and began reading reports on the Ludvik tribe’s trends, which were classified as top secret.

After reading the report for about an hour, I had a rough idea of the local situation.

To conclude, the reason the chief of the Ludvik tribe goes on a rampage is probably because there is a famine in the territory of the tribe he rules.

First of all, the Ludviks are people who live a nomadic life like the Mongols and Jurchen people on Earth, but they also settled in Hungary 100 years ago and started farming.

However, for about 100 years after settlement, they were a nomadic people, and it is virtually difficult for them to be self-sufficient in the food they need only through farming, so they barely survive by combining farming and nomadic life in normal times… but when the harvest is poor,

like now, they have to eat and survive. For this reason, wars were waged to increase the size of the tribe and expand its power.

At this time, let’s see the direction their blades are heading…

While I was so worried, the president, who seemed really angry, spoke in a loud voice.

“Damn Ludvik! If there was a bad harvest, they would just quietly accept our aid. Why are they trying to stir up war with their own tribe? devil! “I will soon send our great imperial army to strike down Mogaji!”

When I heard rumors about the General Staff College, I heard that our president’s nickname was President Cheonghyeol…

Even though he is almost 70 years old, his voice is as loud as if he had boiled a train barrel. Also, those muscles visible beyond the top are no joke.

No joke, wouldn’t a middle-aged driver in his 40s who is currently on active duty be unable to move in front of that man?

Soon after, the president used his baton to point to a professor sitting at a desk about three seats in front of me and ask.

“Ludvik is expanding his fortress power. So where will his blade go?”

“Of course, we will slowly defeat the weakest tribes among the tribes around Ludvik. “They will try to plunder food while consolidating the surrounding area.”

In countries like the Reich Empire, Francois Republic, and Czechia, people lived a settled life by farming and building castles.

In most cases, he does not allow his soldiers to plunder the occupied territory.

Because destroying something may be instantaneous and enjoyable, but it takes at least several years to rebuild the ruined fields and castles and cities afterwards.

In addition, it is inevitable that the conquered people will resent it, and since it costs money to restore the city and territory, it is inevitable that there will be a deficit for a while.

However, nomads usually kill all the elders and men of the defeated tribe and use the women as playthings and slaves.

Therefore, even if the conquered people hold a grudge, they do not have the ability to resist, and whenever they plunder a tribe, they plunder because they can get enough food to feed the elderly and men.

“Okay then, do you think there is a possibility that they will come to plunder us? Or do you think it doesn’t exist?”

“In my opinion, without those guys going crazy, they wouldn’t dare invade our empire. However, there is a need to strengthen the northern border just in case.”

“That makes sense. “What do other professors think?”

Then, the professors continued to make suggestions as if this was their chance to catch the president’s attention.

“How about sending two divisions to the north to reinforce the wall defenses?”

“I think it would be a good idea for us to destroy a few tribes ourselves.”

“I think it would be a good idea to send a letter to Ludvik and warn him so that we can have a reason to start a war later.”

Although they seem simple, they are very effective methods in protecting the empire.

Because if we send two more divisions to the northern wall, Ludvik will not think of coming to the empire to plunder for a while.

If you destroy a few tribes, he will become weaker because it will be difficult to secure food through plunder during times of famine, and if you send a warning, you will have an excuse to subdue him later when he becomes weak.

However, in my opinion, such tactics and strategies are specialized only for protecting the empire.

There was an opportunity to expand the empire’s territory, but it was judged that it was not being used properly.

So I cautiously raised my hand and proposed.

“Peter Yeager, professor at the Staff College. “I would like to obtain permission to speak from the president.”
