Chapter 400

EP.400

For the hegemony and well-being of the empire and for those who died in Bastion, I pushed the Reich Empire into the madness of war.

In comics, novels, and dramas, there are many scenes where the main character regrets doing something like this.

I have defeated the Allied forces since the death of Lieutenant Colonel or Major General Landel and have never once regretted what I did.

The reason was very simple.

“The moment you look down, all the men living in the Reich Empire are massacred and the women are raped and humiliated. “That’s why I won’t dare to show my face to the 35,000 heroes who trusted me and died in Bastion.”

In the 21st century, when I lived, which I can’t even remember anymore, it was a world where nonsense was said that even criminals who did not feel worthy of respect for human rights should be guaranteed a humane life.

Even in such a world, when war breaks out, rape, murder and looting are so common that they don’t even make the news. What kind of fucking human rights are these in a world where there is a caste system and democracy is unthinkable?

“That said, I have no intention of engaging in unnecessary murder, rape, and plunder.”

Crimes such as unnecessary murder, rape, and looting are things that humans should not do, and not only do they give up human dignity, but they also diminish the meaning of revenge.

And if such deviations are allowed, our soldiers, who have been thoroughly trained through formal training, will quickly degenerate into thugs in the name of the military.

Therefore, I have no intention of engaging in unnecessary war crimes.

Not long after, the door to the conference room of the Imperial General Staff Headquarters opened and the generals and staff came in with serious expressions on their faces.

“I heard that Marshal Jaeger is carrying out an operation that I have never seen or heard of before. Do you have any idea what it is? “I couldn’t sleep well because I was so worried about it.”

“Hehe, you seem like such a foolish friend. No matter how much we think about and prepare for what kind of strategy he will carry out, there have been one or two times when we have no idea what kind of strategy he will carry out until he tells us properly. In that case, I should have prepared for the all-nighter that would follow.”

“From what I heard, you are planning to recreate Bastion in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.”

The reason they can’t think of the strategy I’m trying to implement is definitely not because the staff or generals are incompetent.

The knowledge I bring is at least hundreds of years ahead of our time.

It is a masterpiece created through tens of thousands of mistakes over a period of time.

It makes no sense to anticipate that in advance and follow through.

Looking at them, I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled.

“Everyone, hurry up and sit down. “I will soon tell you how to manage the million-strong army we have been waiting for so long.”

I saw a little fear on their faces when they heard those words, but I guess it was just their mood.

“Well, everyone worked hard to protect the empire in this war. However, it seems that just protecting it is not enough, so I decided to plan and lead this major offensive myself. So please work a little harder for the empire.”

“yes! “Marshal.”

“Listen carefully, Warsaw has suffered a huge defeat right now, so wouldn’t it be difficult to even gather soldiers properly?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“On top of that, the enemy’s will to wage war and morale are at rock bottom. Therefore, if our troops come in like a storm, it is obvious that they will not be able to respond properly. Even gathering troops won’t be easy.”

The operation I brought with me was shock and awe, mobile warfare, the strongest combat doctrine that dominated the 19th and 20th centuries.

Simply put, the strategy is to move at lightning speed and occupy territory while the enemy is distracted.

Oh, even if it moves as fast as thunder and lightning, the enemy will gather its troops and attack us about 1.5 times faster than the speed at which they can get to where we are.

We may not be able to take drugs and march hundreds of kilometers a day like the Germans did in World War II.

The result will be the same anyway.

We will move at a speed that will make them unable to react, so that the Warsaw guys will not even dare to react.

“Therefore, the goal of this battle is to divide the 1 million-strong army, including mine, into 10 army groups and attack and occupy all strategic bases of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in 10 directions.”

There are many castles in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw that can serve as strategic defense bases, but defending them requires spending a lot of time accumulating food and gathering people.

However, they did not expect to be defeated until recently, so they did nothing from summoning soldiers to requisitioning food.

So, if they attack as quickly as lightning, even if they have a strong castle, they will be in a situation where it will be impossible to even wage a defensive battle because they will not be able to secure the troops, weapons, and food to properly defend the castle.

Since we know so many bases, we will have no choice but to give them up.

Because they know that putting soldiers in a castle that cannot be defended is just a waste of resources and manpower.

In that case, they will know that it is better to concentrate and gather troops to increase efficiency.

“The commander of the army group is a general, and each general has four corps under his command, and captures all military bases along the designated route according to the mission assigned by the Chief of Staff and I.”

After hearing those words, one of the generals asked cautiously.

“What do we do with those who resist during the siege?”

I said that calmly.

“I warn you that I will create a Bastion, and if you do not surrender until the castle is surrounded, please create a Bastion. This operation is ‘fearful and shocking’. “It is a strategy to achieve victory by instilling overwhelming fear in the enemy.”

And half a year later, a million-strong army of the Reich Empire, including me, advanced toward Warsaw.
