I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.446

Aporet Plain.

“I heard that our imperial army is very capable.”

I was worried when the unit was completely scattered to fool the United Kingdom’s eyes… but the

Reich Empire’s officers arrived at Aporet on time, as they always did, according to my expectations.

It must not have been easy to travel on time, traveling at least a few tens of kilometers or at most over a thousand kilometers, despite various natural disasters and all kinds of variables.

“Very well, Captain Kergit. “What is the current status of the knights and archers?”

“It was a little difficult to get there on time, but I don’t think this will be enough. “If you give me the command, I will be able to turn the United Kingdom’s camp into a sea of fire.”

“Sea of fire, shouldn’t we trample those United Kingdom guys over there with our horses’ hooves and turn them into Hamburg minced meat?”

“I think that’s okay too, Your Excellency.”

Anya proudly spread her shoulders in front of me, subtly emphasizing her chest.

Being able to afford such a prank just before entering enemy territory means that the reports that follow will all have good content, right?

“What was the result of the reconnaissance conducted by Major General Andersen’s archers? “Have the enemies noticed that we are approaching?”

When Andersen heard that, he pounded his chest with his fist.

“Nothing at all. He sent archers to inspect the enemy camp, but the enemy camp was full of soldiers drinking alcohol and looking for prostitutes. “Often, there are people who get drunk and even become drunk.”

Neither the Reich Empire, Franco-Austria, or the Perosian City Confederation allowed soldiers to drink alcohol before or on guard before war.

This is because if the enemy attacks and the soldiers are too drunk to move properly, they have no choice but to be killed.

“I treated Lieutenant General Pete very kindly to His Majesty the Crown Prince, and gradually asked him to pretend to peck at us because we were at a disadvantage. “It seems like you are performing that role well.”

When Andersen heard that, his eyes widened.

“Is that so? “This is my first time hearing this story.”

“Well, it’s the first time I’ve heard it. It’s information that hasn’t been made public to generals below the rank of captain because there’s a risk of leaking secrets and interfering with the progress of operations. So, even though those gathered here now know of the plan to attack the United Kingdom, no one knows how to hold them back.”

Andersen brought his face closer to me, his eyes sparkling.

It wasn’t to the point where I was being pushed in, but even though I’m in my mid-40s, it’s a burden to see a man in his mid-50s doing this.

I might have been happy if a beauty like Laura or Charlotte Louise did this, but…

‘Ha, I’m in my 40s… I’m still in the same shape as I was in my 20s.’

No, since I killed Khan in the middle and swung a lot with my sword, my physical strength is much better now than when I was in my early 20s, right?

It’s no joke, if you have this stamina, you can run a 42km marathon wearing armor and gear.

When I patted his shoulder, Andersen’s eyes turned red.

“As expected, our Khan is truly an amazing person. “I will consider it an honor for the Andersen family to be able to serve… or rather, serve under the Khan.”

Aren’t you going to cry and say that if I give you a sword like this, you will keep it as an heirloom?

I heard that most, if not all, northerners absolutely support me.

If a public opinion poll was conducted, wouldn’t my name be listed as the number one ideal type among teenage girls in the North?

“Very desirable. And what is the condition of Captain Laura’s infantry? “Do you think it would be better to rest for tonight or would it be okay to study at night?”

Laura listened to me and responded with a confident smile.

“On the way here, the infantrymen took turns riding the extra horses that the knights brought with them to preserve their physical strength as much as possible. Additionally, I think you don’t have to worry, Your Excellency, since I’ve had enough rest since arriving here.”

The condition of the infantry and knights looks good and the enemy has not noticed our presence, so now would be the optimal timing for a surprise attack.

“Okay then, at the current time, we will set out to hit the heads of those United Kingdom bastards who are eating jellies made from eels. “Is everyone ready?”

When I said this, everyone said in unison.

“Yes sir! “If you give me the command, I will kill every single one of you!”

“I will make today the last day of those unlucky bastards in the United Kingdom!”

“We are ready!”

After hearing those words, I immediately drew my sword.

It was quite cool to see the sunlight reflecting off the sword and making it sparkle.

“Okay then. As of the current time, our troops are heading out to surprise the United Kingdom. “I will leave all the heavy things here, such as food, extra weapons, extra armor, and transport carts, and take only my body and weapons and go and kill the United Kingdom bastards.”

Going for a surprise attack in broad daylight is laughable, but the current location of our imperial army is more than 5km away from the location of the United Kingdom’s camp.

If you walk alone, it will take an hour. If hundreds of thousands of troops move at once, it will take more than half a day even if you leave behind cumbersome items such as carts.

Therefore, we have to walk for half a day from now until we reach the enemy camp, and the sun will set at night, so now is the best time to start the march.

“It would have been nice to give a long speech before launching a surprise attack like this, but we don’t have the time or the time to do that right now. Just remember that tomorrow you will either eat breakfast in heaven or eat it in abundance by plundering the food that the United Kingdom bastards brought with them. “Move forward the entire army.”

After giving that order and when all the knights and infantry were about to march out, I gave orders to several divisions that had just arrived.

“If the supplies here are looted, something big could happen. So, you guys stay here and guard the rear.”

“But…”

“Aren’t the soldiers tired? “It is also necessary to protect the rear.”

After allocating the minimum number of troops to guard the rear, I quickly moved with 200,000 troops under my command.

**

United Kingdom camp that night.

Even before peace negotiations with the Reich Empire began, there was a certain discipline in place in case war broke out at any time… but after

several years of war, everyone, both officers and soldiers, was exhausted and sagging, turning into a half-rotten lettuce. The kingdom’s soldiers were immediately released.

As long as they did not get drunk and smoke during the day, they would drink and play with the connivance of the battalion commanders, or kill people or desert at night, and as long as they did not get caught, they would just shrug it off and move on.

Platoon leader, can I have just one drink before I go out on guard duty? Just one more drink?

To top it all off, there was even one person who asked if I would drink to the point of inebriation right before going out on guard duty.

There would be no war, and the regiment commander said, ‘We need to manage the morale of the soldiers, so release them appropriately.’ Yes, don’t get drunk and throw up at the guard post.

Even junior officers, such as platoon commanders and company commanders, were tired of the policies of their superiors and the war, and came to think that what was good was good, so military discipline was truly ruined.

At this time, Sergeant James, who had participated in the war against the Francoist Republic for more than four years but had not yet reached the rank of sergeant, was immersed in the joy that the war would soon end.

“Bring me a drink! “Today, Sergeant Lee is giving away every drink!”

“……What’s going on?”

“I heard from our platoon commander that the peace negotiations will soon be successful and the war will end. “They say that even if they can’t eat all of Francois, they eat about 1/3 of it.”

When the other soldiers in the same squad heard the story, they were a little disappointed that they couldn’t eat it all… but

as they thought that they would finally be able to go home and see their wives and children, tears began to flow from their eyes.

“Is that true?”

“Our Lieutenant Jackson may be a bit of a jerk, but he’s not the type of person to talk nonsense about things like this.”

“Are you going home now?”

“Oh, but. I will stay here. “For some reason, when I see what high-ranking people do, I feel like I can become a free farmer instead of a serf if I stay here.”

“If you are going to become a free farmer, aren’t you a future rich person? Our James Snake. “Honestly, let’s make the women drink beer once.”

Sergeant James wanted to shoot back, saying it was a cow laughing, but today was a good day…

“Fuck it. Hey, I’m going to open Sergeant Lee’s wallet today. Gather all the squad members.”

At those words, the soldiers in the other squad suddenly started moving quickly even though their faces were red as they drank alcohol.

Those who obtained the sergeant’s wallet immediately received a huge amount of food from war merchants and even booked a prostitute.

When everyone had to keep their expressions bright, Private William looked in front of him and was frightened.

“… A huge fucking cloud of dust is rising. “Isn’t this the enemy?”

And that prediction was exactly right.
