Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

27 – Titles! The man who starved the nobility!

“Please take good care of me from now on. Company commander Erwin.”

“3Rd company commander Erwin! Thank you evil!”

What is it? What is it? What’s going on?

I don’t know. I can’t figure out how the situation is going.

I was a platoon commander not too long ago, why am I now a company commander?

“Ah, company commander Erwin.”

“Yup!”

“I have high expectations of you.”

I’m going crazy. It’s such a burden that I feel like I’m suffocating to death.

Even if the battalion commander said that, I would still be nervous, but the person in front of me right now is the division commander.

Does this make sense? Did the division commander personally come to a company commander appointment ceremony?

Originally, I heard that company commander Lim Gwan-sik was a good person even if only the battalion commander came.

Even that, most of them said that they sent a proxy for work.

So, of course, I assumed that our unit would do the same, but what kind of lightning strike was this?

“aaa!!”

“Why?! Why is the division commander coming to our battalion?!”

The scene where the battalion commander and regimental commander screamed is still fresh in my eyes.

For the two of you, a shooting star in the dry sky. No, it’s like a meteorite fell.

I’m sorry, battalion commander. Colonel! But I really don’t know why!

The division commander who brought such a huge storm passed away.

Ah, to be exact, he went to attend another company commander commissioning ceremony.

Everyone thought that maybe it was because he loved the 1st Cavalry Division.

But I could tell. The reason why he went to other company commander commissioning ceremonies was a kind of smoke screen.

“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.”

The boy of Reinhardt I met a while ago… No, no. Then again, what do you want to hear?

The words of my unexpected new friend, Lihi, come to mind.

The division commander said he had high expectations for me. I said that I would definitely make a good commander.

There is a high probability that your visit this time has something to do with what Lehi said.

If I were the only one looking for him, he would have gone to the other company commanders’ commissioning ceremonies because of his strange appearance.

This is a very strange thing. It’s the division commander, even if he said he knew about me, what the hell did Lihi hear about me and expect such a certainty about me?

Let’s see my life… First of all, before he even became an adult, he enlisted in the Imperial Army as a soldier.

Did you want to get ahead in the military? Well… There is no such thing.

But the most decisive reason was that the problem of eating and living was urgent.

If you join the military, at least you have nothing to worry about eating, wearing, and sleeping.

I decided to enlist for one reason only to reduce my mouth at home.

Of course, at first I was mistreated for cheating on my age, and I ate a lot and did chores.

Then, maybe I was lucky, and I made several achievements.

From Erwin in charge of chores, to corporal in an instant, and then back to platoon commander.

It took less than a few years to get an appointment that others could not imagine.

Up to this point, I thought I had used up all my luck in my life.

Now, even after sending money home, I didn’t have to worry about living expenses.

Since I was commissioned as an officer, I wondered if I would one day go to a higher position.

But I didn’t know that I would be given a platoon commander and a company commander in a month.

‘I’m worried that everyone will look at me with a bad eye.’

People’s envy is a terrible thing. Especially in the military.

It is said that it is human beings to have a stomach ache even if the family is doing well.

I don’t want to fight and confront those I used to get along with. Worried.

“Oh! Our company commander, Erwin, is you here!”

“This platoon leader is saying hello! Loyalty! Loyalty!”

“Are you buying me a big meal tonight to celebrate my promotion?”

“I assure you, I will bet a silver coin on Jinda after drinking today.”

… Okay. What are you worried about It should be like this. This is our 1st Cavalry Division.

If you think about it, everyone has taken care of me since I was a soldier, my brother, uncle, and uncle.

Perhaps we are bound by a name that is stronger than family, comrades.

“Ah. The company commander spreads. I will pay for today’s dinner.”

“Oohhhhh!!”

“Hey! Eat, vomit, drink and vomit today! The company commander shoots aaa!!

Me, but brothers? I would like you to restrain yourself a little bit. This company commander is not rich yet!

“uuu! It’s a party!!”

It’s no use. sh*t. Sorry, my salary. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you this time!

I suppressed my sadness and fiddled with the epaulettes on my shoulders.

I have to work harder. For those who believe in me.

And now for those who have to believe in me and fight.

“The company commander’s wallet is ours today!”

“Kiyo oh oh oh!!”

“….”

And even for my wallet, which has become thinner in an instant.

“Why, did you get any dissatisfaction or strange looks?”

The division commander asks a question. Raise one of your eyebrows slightly.

I don’t want a cliche answer. They want to hear your honest opinions.

So I took my lips apart after thinking about what had happened earlier for a moment.

“Some seemed to have noticed.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. However, some of them are all Erwin platoon commanders. No, they are units with a company commander.”

“If those friends behaved correctly from the beginning, they would be allies rather than enemies.”

As if that was enough, the division commander put on a satisfied expression.

“You look like you want to ask something. Lieutenant Creighton.”

“No.”

“No, what is it? It’s okay, so tell me.”

I wonder if it’s because I’ve been with the division commander for so long.

If I think a little differently, he finds out like a ghost.

It would be useless to say no more here.

“Actually, I wonder why you want to take care of that young friend named Erwin.”

“Are you jealous? Are you afraid to use that friend in your place?”

“I am proud to say that I am the best in this division, at least in my adjutant duties.”

It is natural. How much is the jjambab I served next to the division commander?

I don’t know anything else, but I can confidently say that this job is the best in the empire.

“The reason is simple. Because it looks I assure you, that friend, he will become another sharp spear of the empire that will succeed me and a sword full of anticipation.”

“Is that so?”

“If you don’t believe me, make a bet.”

“No. It’s okay.”

No! Never bet! Do you know how much my salary I lost doing that?!

The division commander kept tempting me to bet, so I overcame it and lost every day.

I will never do it now. I don’t know if it’s an order, but I don’t even know if it’s a recommendation!

“It doesn’t work anymore.”

The division commander laughed hahahaha and fidgeted with a cigarette before putting it into his bosom.

Even if you’re not a smoker, you smoke to some extent. Why are you suddenly acting like that?

“Anyway, this is not just my opinion. Rihi is of the same opinion as me.”

“You mean your younger brother?”

“Yes. I’ve said it a few times already, but he’s very smart. He says it’s not him, but you can see it from the side. He’s really bad. There’s a difference between confessing and trying to pretend otherwise.”

I know that you have extreme affection and trust for your younger brother.

But at first, he said it was because he loved the soldiers and loved his family as well.

Since we are a family, I thought it was natural that they would not hold back their praises.

Until I heard the news.

“I heard about the training at this academy. Pretty… It was impressive.”

I was a little taken aback. Putting aristocratic students on a hill and starving them for three days and nights.

It is said that they controlled everything, including sleeping bags and blankets for the night, and even water.

In addition, when he withdrew from the opposing team, he did not notice it, but even beat the main unit.

I had two thoughts after hearing that. The surprise and the ‘reasonably?’

To be honest, what and how much do the aristocratic students at the academy know?

Especially if you are a freshman. It can be said that we are just getting to know each other.

But it seems that our Master Lihi had no intention of looking at it at all.

“Because he is such a younger brother. Once he’s made up his mind, he’s more serious than anyone else. But Lihi asked me to meet with Erwin. What could this mean?”

“… I can fully understand what the division commander is saying.”

“Isn’t it?”

hahahaha! The division commander’s expression suddenly became serious after laughing.

At the same time, I’m also nervous, so I’m giving strength to my body, so questions come soon.

“Have you heard anything more about Königsen’s dynamics yet?”

“The Ministry of War Intelligence and the Ministry of Special Affairs continue to check, but there is nothing to say.”

“Really? Strange. These guys aren’t the ones to be silent for this long.”

Tuk-tuk―

The division commander knocks on the table. It’s like that when you’re thinking hard about something.

“Shall we send another person to the Ministry of Information or the Ministry of Special Affairs?”

“… No. Give up There’s no way they’re hiding information from us, and there’s no way you’ll get information that wasn’t there just because you’re looking for it. I guess we just have to prepare thoroughly for what we have to do.”

A war hero, a high position, and a future already guaranteed. So, I might be a little arrogant.

As expected, the division commander doesn’t even show any gaps.

“In that sense, an adjutant. I’m sorry, but it looks like I’ll be working overtime today.”

“….”

That said, working overtime… It’s very sad, Commander.
