chapter 14
14 – Seeds for the Future
Of course it’s awkward when dark boys meet each other. That’s f*cking awkward too.
Even though we’ve seen each other a few times, is it the first time we’ve met? What can i say
There is only one story that can relieve the awkwardness there.
“So how was your training?”
“Don’t even talk. How much do you want to get out of that binge….”
As expected, military stories are the best between men. Cancer cancer.
If you’re a guy who has served in the military, no matter how timid you are, you won’t be able to stop talking?
Ervin is a typical soldier who starts as a soldier and goes all the way to an officer.
Although I have no military experience in this world, I have been an officer before that.
Both of them are the kind of people who don’t know what to do because they want to make fun of them when they hear ‘military life’.
It’s been years since I ate jjambab, and if I had the opportunity, I’d like to talk about those days.
Would it make sense if people with the same memories couldn’t talk!
“It was really hard. Uh Just listening to it is terrifying.”
“It wasn’t terrible. My teeth grind just thinking about it, teeth. Damn it.”
Look at this. The guy who was hesitant just 10 minutes ago is talking comfortably, right?
Erwin now also recognizes me as a ‘fun person who can talk a little’ rather than ‘the son of the commander-in-chief’ or ‘the division commander’s younger brother’. That’s a very positive sign.
“Ah, I thought of you when I was talking about you. I heard some stories from my brother. There is a guy my age who was commissioned as a platoon leader because of his outstanding performance despite being a soldier. He said he was looking forward to it, so he wanted to meet him.”
“The division commander said that.”
The person the main character admires the most is my older brother, Douglas Reinhardt.
As far as I can remember, these two would make the best duo and crush Königssen to dust.
So, if you mention my brother, I’ll turn it into a reason. It’s not even a job.
“Work hard. I told you not to say things like this, but if you do it like now, you will be booking a high-speed promotion.”
“On the contrary, it seems that the burden is only increasing.”
Erwin scratches his head and gives a puzzled smile.
Now that each other’s spears and knives are stepping back and everyone is taking a breather, saying that a war hero is showing interest will, of course, come back as a burden.
However, that burden will soon be erased in another great battle.
Time for a great counterattack that attracted even the few remaining souls of Königssen.
The result of the madmen deceiving not only the surrounding puppet countries, but also most of their own people, nobles, and bureaucrats.
It’s crazy enough that even the intelligence department of the Ministry of War wonders, ‘Is this for real?’
Thanks to that, the empire also suffered enough damage that the front lines were momentarily pushed.
However, the crushing defeat did not happen. I have a father and an older brother, so what?
There is also Erwin, the main character who “Has no choice but to play an active role” At the right timing.
That’s the reason I asked to meet with this guy.
At that time, most of the Officers Faculty members will be put into the battlefield.
I will go to the General Headquarters where my father will be with a high probability.
If the son of the Allied Commander-in-Chief was captured, it would be very tiring for the Empire.
But I intend to turn it down. Instead, he plans to have his brother sent to the 1st Cavalry Division.
In that case, my older brother would do his best to put me on the side that can be trusted even a little bit.
My conclusion is that we just need to stand next to Erwin and help each other!
Ervin is good because he can win with less damage, and I like it because I have practical experience.
The tag of having never been in a real battle will be lethal when you are in the rear.
The goal is to get the fact that he played an active part in Königssen’s massive counterattack before that.
“Listening to what you said makes me think that I need to manage my platoon more thoroughly.”
Okay, then. You have to do it thoroughly Only then will you become the best platoon and become a company commander right away.
I want to be active next to the company commander.
In the meantime, I decided to slip away a blueprint for the future.
It’s one of the few important cases I know of in great detail.
“Actually, it is. I have something I want to ask you, who is also an officer at my age.”
“I don’t think I asked the division commander for that….”
As he nodded her head confidently, Erwin said, ‘Mi….’ And then shuts her mouth.
It’s okay. I’ll do what I didn’t hear. Even if it’s like me, you’ll say, ‘Crazy bastard.’
“Originally, I was in the Faculty of Public Administration, but I changed my mind, so I’m joining the Faculty of Officers.”
“… It’s no different than saying that you’re going to undergo two positions of training.”
Wow, f*ck. Hearing it like that reminds me of what kind of crazy thing I did.
Even if it’s not like that, the enterter keeps saying, ‘See you in hell, you motherf*cker!’
“Big. Anyway, while studying there, I got curious. What should we do if the enemy’s large-scale offensive sweeps us from the rear and the troops in the front are torn to pieces?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to ask the division commander?”
“I don’t want a clear answer, I just want some discussion.”
The main character will one day become a war hero, but so far he is only slightly above average.
As expected, it can be said that it is a level that can be discussed with me, who is just average!
“Well…. We must somehow escape before the encirclement forms. I can’t let the sons of the empire die in vain. If that doesn’t work….”
“You mean surrender?”
Let’s poke it lightly, and Erwin’s expression instantly becomes sharp.
“My loyalty to the Empire never changes. Never.”
“I guess so. I’m just asking judgment for the soldiers as a commander. I’ve never doubted your loyalty. I don’t even want to.”
Judgment for soldiers. At those words, Erwin sighed and salivated.
Even if you think about it, it will be difficult for you to easily say, “This is it!”
A soldier with obvious hostility to Königssen could never surrender.
However, if you have to take responsibility for dozens or more lives, the story is different.
“I’ve been thinking about holding on to the terrain somewhere, but that’s….”
“It’s suicide if you don’t have stockpiled supplies. Rather switch to guerrillas?”
“Isn’t there a mountain nearby that is difficult for enemies to enter? And I don’t mean to go into terrain like that with troopers.”
“… It’s difficult.”
“Don’t be too pressured, you can talk comfortably.”
Of course this is a lie. Take it easy, protagonist! Get serious!
If you can’t give an answer here, you should be determined to take off your clothes!
After a while, Königssen’s Counterattack will get you right into that spot!
In an instant, the defense line is completely shaken by the overwhelming offensive.
How can the front survive, but the side collapses and the rear becomes a mess.
In an instant, the escape route is cut off and even contact with the main unit is cut off.
Königsen’s troops are so fatigued that they collapse within a month.
However, during that month, it will be the difference between taking damage or building a ball.
“… I can think of one way, but it’s a bit futile.”
“Why? Are you going to do a reverse charge?”
What about Erwin? I looked this way with exclamation. I guess I was thinking that way.
“To put it mildly, reverse charge. From a strategic point of view, should we see it as causing a mistake in judgment by the Königssen who put their life and death on this counterattack by forcibly creating a protrusion?”
The level of attack was shallower than they thought, and the enemy is counterattacking right away! What if you make a mistake and stop the offensive around you and force them to rush to the protrusion?
“For the military, momentum is the lifeblood. If you are pushing as hard as you can and suddenly stop it….”
“The momentum is dying. Our numbers are significant at best anyway. Of course, it is easy to retreat.”
“The enemy will have to shoulder the burden of making a judgment before they can check the level of this side in detail because they are strangled by a quick attack.”
At my words, Erwin smiles as if he is very interested.
I just thought of it once, because I came up with almost the same opinion.
With this, the evaluation of me must have jumped up once more.
‘That’s how Erwin later got the Königssen guys right.’
I feel like I stole Erwin’s strategy, so I don’t feel sorry, but I do.
But I definitely don’t want to intercept all the balls he’s going to set up.
Just to make him think of the case, he’s just a sort of wind catcher, so it’ll be fine.
After working with me later, the evaluation of this side will definitely be positive.
I need my people. The kind of person who will fight directly on the front line and inform you of the situation.
I have a hyung, but that can make the picture look bad.
Above all, the main character Coin is unconditionally all-in, but it’s funny that he doesn’t pay attention.
Since that meeting with her, I have been exchanging letters with Erwin.
It was mainly about strategy and tactics, but I used to write it down and send it with an appropriate mix of what I knew in reality and future strategies that Erwin would use.
So Erwin is so good he’s dying. I mean, it’s very interesting.
Are the platoon commanders frustrated because they couldn’t discuss such strategies?
… Oh, suddenly the hyeonta comes hard.
Hyung is exchanging letters with women, but I have to be with a man like this. Damn it
