Chapter 59: The Emperor Dispenses Rewards (3)
The war with Chekovia had ended, and two months had passed.
Including myself, the officers and soldiers of the Yaeger Battalion had returned to the capital of the Reich Empire and were earnestly enjoying a brief respite.
Specifically, after we had entered the capital, our unit received complete rest orders, excusing us from all guard duties and even regular shifts.
Except on special occasions, such as formal dinners, everyone was allowed the freedom to drink and feast from morning until night.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
While non-commissioned officers brought the soldiers to brothels to relax.
That wasn’t to say the academy graduates maintained their dignity. They enjoyed nightlife at more upscale places.
Meanwhile, I, an unmarried man, didn’t even think about going to such places to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Instead, I roughly handled the miscellaneous tasks that other officers should deal with at night, along with Laura.
The chores were merely writing ‘Soldiers, NCOs, and officers are resting well and living a healthy life.’ on the roll call register, finishing everything in an hour.
That day too, officers, indistinguishable from local rowdies, were boisterously drinking when an administrative officer in sophisticated attire appeared in our battalion headquarters.
By his appearance here, his rank was probably lower than mine, but the circumstances made me guess that he brought the documents of merit awards from His Majesty the Emperor.
“Attention to the Administrator!”
With my command, the rowdy officers immediately formed a sharp salute, just like in their training.
“I am Helmut von Groger, an administrative officer affiliated with the military. I was ordered to deliver the merit awards to each unit that has rendered distinguished services, as of 12:00 today.”
Having an administrative officer from the military deliver documents seemed too high a level just for reading and directly delivering documents related to merit awards.
An administrative officer was equivalent to a Colonel in military rank.
Thus, the soldiers maintained an even more stiff posture, fearing that they’d make the slightest mistake.
Even I, the battalion commander, became as stiff as a wooden mannequin before the one-star officer.
The high-ranking officer, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, approached me nonchalantly.
“Lieutenant Peter Yaeger, Battalion Commander of Yaeger Battalion, receive the award command from His Majesty.”
Werner, in particular, was biting his lip so hard that it began to bleed.
“In the case of Lieutenant Laura, given her capture of Colonel Mikhail from Chekov, her exceptional performance in the special forces, and her significant contribution to the lieutenant colonel’s decapitation operation, she is exceptionally permitted to enter the staff college. However, no reward money will be given.”
They weren’t even giving a single gold coin to Laura... After all, she was the only daughter of the Count of Benner, and unlike us, she was not in desperate need of money.
Instead, the reward seemed to reveal Count Benner and the personnel manager’s intention to promote her even one day faster by sending her to the staff college.
Attending the staff college was mostly for Majors and Lieutenant Colonels, but by law, Lieutenants could also enter, so there was no issue with the procedure.
Given her ample merits, would she be promoted to Major during her first year at the Staff College?
When it was time to announce my reward, the Colonel-level administrator, as if tagged with stern, grave, serious subtitles, read from a much more lavishly decorated scroll with a very solemn expression and a serious voice.
“Lieutenant Peter Yaeger is promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and appointed as a professor at the staff college. Additionally, 3,000 gold will be granted. The territories of Salzheim, Reiner, and Schwaltz are bestowed along with the title of Baron, recognizing him as a high noble of the Empire.”
.....Damn? This was like a “the boss has gone mad” level of generosity in Korea.
Although it could be explained at length, serving as a professor also counts as a central duty experience advantageous for promotion, according to the staff college’s two-year mandatory attendance.
Furthermore, having the experience of being a professor at the staff college was recognized as a general principle, allowing one to ascend to Lieutenant General just by breathing among the officers.
Moreover, with the title of Baron and three territories, even after surpassing the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and earning a star, there would be no lack of wealth and influence, preventing me from being pushed around in political battles.
Wouldn’t it be inevitable for rumors of the Emperor going mad to spread?
Meanwhile, the administrator who delivered the news of my promotion changed his attitude to sincerely congratulate me and spoke with flattery.
“I sincerely congratulate you, Baron. To receive the title of Baron at the age of 21 is an honor. I am privileged to deliver this news. I look forward to working with you.”
In the military, rank was prioritized over titles, but when affiliations differ, titles become much more important.
So, among administrators, this gentleman, equivalent to having a star, was flattering me.
Having said this, the administrator swiftly departed.
Although I, the battalion commander, was appointed as a professor at the staff college, resulting in the dissolution of the Yaeger Battalion, everyone’s faces were still beaming with smiles.
Then I shouted to perform my last duty as a battalion commander.
“Gather the battalion members. Let’s make the most of our last day together. Rent several inns and drink as much as you want by company unit! Bill me for the expenses! Dismissed!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
