I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

Chapter 441

EP.441

After I, Peter Yeager, declared that the war was over, I immediately went to clean up the battlefield.

“Treat the bodies of all fallen soldiers of the Francois Reich Empire with the utmost respect. “The only thing we can do is cremate and bury them, but this is an order from His Majesty the Crown Prince not to discriminate even against the dead.”

Since this is a war-related issue, you don’t have to follow His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders, but even if I have the authority to do so… Unless

there is a specific reason to oppose it, it is better in many ways to follow orders from higher-ups.

Moreover, the living Francois soldiers may not know, but the dead can no longer bother us, so we should bury them with the hope that they will go to heaven after they die.

To put it bluntly, I didn’t kill these guys because I had a grudge against them.

When I gave the order, the Reich Empire soldiers gave me instructions with irritated expressions.

“You guys over there, Francois, move quickly.”

“If you get caught trying to do something strange with a shovel or something, you will die.”

“Do not use the life that Crown Princess Lina gave you in vain. “If you just do as I tell you, I will send you home safely.”

If it were any other time, I would have thought about ordering you to work together, or even telling you to talk without making such an impression.

‘Just yesterday, they were fighting with their lives on the battlefield, so how can we become friends right away?’

“aide.”

The adjutant next to me quickly responded to those words.

“Yes, Excellency Marshal!”

Usually, most of the commanders and adjutants are majors, but sometimes a few people are promoted and end up with the rank of lieutenant colonel when they are assigned to their next position.

Because His Majesty the Emperor emphasized that the Deputy of the Generalissimo is special, my Adjutant is a general with a one-star rank.

Even now, I still can’t get used to seeing a 6-star adjutant only get 1 star.

For reference, my Chief of Staff at the Grand Marshal’s Department has 3 stars. When I think of other people at that level being commanders of corps or heads of specific departments at the Chief of Staff…

‘It’s so unique that it’s dizzying.’

“His Majesty the Crown Prince has ordered you not to treat François’ soldiers carelessly, so let them know that you should never beat or seek more than necessary. “In particular, if a beating is carried out without a valid reason, even execution is possible under military law.”

“I understand, Your Excellency. “But may I ask why?”

At that, I waved my hand to signal him to listen.

Our adjutant strangely put his ear in my direction.

“The Francois Republic is practically ours now. In such a situation, what good would it be to abuse them? To put it bluntly, you received a baronial decree in this war, but the people there are so angry that they start a ‘rebellion’ or an ‘uprising.’”

The adjutant’s hands trembled when he heard those words.

It was quite possible that His Majesty granted us the privilege of managing the territory and receiving taxes.

This is because if a rebellion or uprising occurs due to poor management of the territory, terrible punishment will be imposed.

‘At a minimum, the relevant territory will be confiscated, and in the worst case, the family title will be stripped and the head of the family will be executed.’

The adjutant shook his head as if he had imagined a rebellion breaking out in his territory.

Then, suddenly, it was as if his personality had been washed and he began to smile brightly.

“Hahaha, I think they are also citizens of the empire now. Would it be okay to just feed him wheat porridge? I had a serious conversation with the military logistics commander yesterday, and he said that there was some surplus in the budget and stock of beef jerky. “How about making porridge with beef jerky and handing it out?”

The faces of the Francois soldiers I saw yesterday were all in a state close to the early stages of malnutrition, as they had not eaten properly for several years.

In other words, if you give it something heavy like bread or grilled meat, it may die because it ate something heavy that its body cannot digest… but

‘porridge with meat in it would be okay.’

“Please put about 1/4 of the amount of meat our soldiers receive in porridge and give it to them. Additionally, when distributing porridge, tell the soldiers that all of this is thanks to His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

“I understand, Your Excellency. But why on earth did your Excellency deliberately give up the honor of treating François’ soldiers in a gentlemanly manner and dedicate all mercy to His Highness the Crown Prince?”

I chuckled at those words.

Not surprisingly, Peter Yeager already has a wealth of honorary titles and titles. Including social status, he rose from being the first person to the top of all people in the empire.

I was a bit surprised to hear people ask me why I wasn’t more greedy.

‘If you eat any more, your stomach will explode and you will die.’

I couldn’t say this, so I thought for a moment and answered.

“Because it is more helpful to the development of the empire. “If you think about it, why would our empire have the imperial princess of the cafe, who had to worry about starving because she collapsed for no reason, to be the crown prince’s wife?”

In fact, according to a confidential report I received not long before I became crown princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Lina of the Cafe royal family was about to be kicked out of the place of exile that she had the only reliance on at the time.

Because she was in such a situation, I heard that she would soon be sold as a concubine to another noble family.

The reason is not just how good you look, but how good are you?

It must be thrilling to even imagine that my concubine was once a member of the imperial family, the most superior lineage in the empire.

“Isn’t it to win the public’s favor with Francois? “It is also for the legitimate cause of the Empire taking over Francois.”

“yes. And as I expected, isn’t that person’s mere presence helping the Empire easily take over Francois? So, we need to increase its symbolic value as much as possible. Then, if Francois’ people also come under the empire. You will have the hope of not starving to death and being able to lead a peaceful daily life thanks to His Majesty the Crown Prince. There is no room for rebellion with just a few bowls of porridge containing a little meat, so why bother? Should I get my nose pierced for coveting that kind of fame?”

The adjutant shook his head back and forth.

“no. Your Excellency, do as you wish. “Then I will go and deliver the order.”

Then my adjutant hurried away.

I watched him leave and muttered quietly.

“The François guys have already been devastated by me, so their morale is probably low, so I guess I’ll start spewing out trash now. Come and have a taste of Jjirashi. “After that, I’ll have to give a shit to the United Kingdom guys.”

And that night, I wrote to His Majesty a detailed plan for negotiations and dealings with the United Kingdom and what I would do.

Francois Republic army garrison.

The Republic Army was always in a bad mood because it was constantly suffering from a long civil war, but today the mood was even worse.

Normally, even in this terrible situation, there were people who tried to lighten the mood somehow, even by forcing a smile when they heard the sound of falling leaves.

Now, everyone had completely lost the mental space to do so.

Nolan, a private in the Francois Republic army, was in despair like everyone else.

“What the fuck do I do now? The battalion commander said that Peter Yeager invaded Francois and reduced everything he touched to ashes…”

No matter how incompetent the Republican commanders were, as a mere soldier under them, he had no choice but to believe what he was told from above.

No, if you don’t believe what they say, it’s like the painful times you’ve been fighting so far are being thrown into the trash can.

It was almost like

he had no choice but to believe it… but the only thing he couldn’t believe was that the high-ranking members of the Republic Army were saying that they would defeat Peter Yeager and destroy him.

“How can I overcome that crazy man-eater who takes out the intestines of living people and eats them, and dies happily every time he kills a person?”

Strictly speaking, Peter Yeager is the type of person who kills without any emotion, and if an incident of eating a person occurred within the unit… he

was the type of person who would dismember the person involved, but aren’t they all rumors in the first place?

There may be some truth to it, but as it becomes more fleshed out and exaggerated, it suddenly becomes enormous and becomes something completely different from what it started out as.

As he was in despair, Sergeant Hugo, the only senior member of the surprised private’s squad, appeared.

The reason there is no private corporal above them is because they were all cut down by the Reich Imperial Army led by Peter Jaeger.

“You surprised bastard. “Why are you so upset?”

“You don’t know when you will die, do you? “My hometown is about to be destroyed by that bastard, Peter Yeager.”

Sergeant Hugo chuckled when he heard that.

Nolan thought it was because he had given up on everything, but upon closer inspection, he saw a ‘hope’ on the sergeant’s face that he had not seen in recent years.

‘Has this guy finally gone crazy?’

“Child, I think I am rather fortunate.”

“What good is dying? “I’m about to be cut to death by that Jaeger.”

“When did I ever say we would die? and came out with me. “Because there is a precious person who can tell us how to live.”

And after a while, Nolan saw a frightening sight.
