Possessed in a Family of War Heroes - Chapter 50



50 – Unexpected things keep happening

“Leehee.”

The way back by carriage. My father is calling me

I can clearly feel the concern in his voice. Maybe it’s because of something that happened a while ago.

“Are you okay?”

Of course it’s not okay. In other words, it is a non-attribute filial piety. It’s not really good, but what can I do? There’s nothing I can do other than answer with a smile that it’s okay.

“It’s okay, Dad. Rather, I am very excited right now.”

Yeah, I’m excited. I signed the slave contract myself and even stamped it. Damn it

What’s even more terrifying is that you can’t take it back because the opponent is your opponent. It’s like being tied up all over and thrown into the jaws of a tiger saying, “Eat me.”

“But… Wouldn’t it have been better to go to the academy after graduating?”

“It must be difficult to parallelize studies. But… don’t you know Why did I make that choice?”

I wrote my duty schedule on the blank check the emperor handed out. Perhaps the emperor also wanted that in his heart.

Then why did I go in there myself? After all, it was because the emperor wanted it. And at least that part could be seen as a kind of arrangement the emperor had prepared for me.

After graduating from the academy, it is already time to start advancing towards Königssen.

No, rather, they are fighting on the mainland of Königssen. Then it’s too late.

I also want to play a leading role in this war. As long as you decide to join the military, you can’t be a sidekick. It’s a war hero family, but after a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It will be worse than not doing it.

The Emperor just faced that point and handed me a blank check.

I know it’s going to be hard for you, but now is the right time for you. Only now, when you finish your preparations and go to Königssen, can you occupy a place when a real war breaks out. Yes, just like your grandfather and father and brother. While conveying this kind of meaning.

“What do you think of what I told you?”

“Are you saying that an attack on the mainland of Königssen would require at least a year of preparation?”

Hmm, he drools. As the commander-in-chief, he probably wouldn’t like it very much if he successfully defended at best, seized the chance to counterattack, and had to discuss it for a year.

But my father also eventually agreed with me with a nod of his head.

“It will take that long. It is said that the Königssen have fallen a lot, but that is only when the Empire is in the position of a defender, and on the contrary, when we attack their homeland, more troops, more supplies, and more damage will be caused.”

One good thing about being a war hero family is that you can easily get in touch with the war situation.

It sounds like you’ve reached the existing front and are ready to advance beyond it.

The problem is that it is really ready ‘just now’.

The territory of Königssen is the size of an empire. Incredibly wide. Even if you can’t do it, you can talk about victory when you occupy about half of that wide territory.

To do so, a different level of preparation is required. Troops, weapons, supplies, transportation, training, and even the atmosphere inside the empire… There are too many things to consider, too many.

The longer the front, the longer the supply line. Conversely, Königssen’s supply line is shortened by that much.

I can’t ignore the difference that comes out of it. Although defeated, they are still strong.

If a gap in supply begins to appear, the empire may be defeated and retreat this time.

“Don’t worry. I will focus on my studies and work hard on the work I choose.”

“I don’t worry about that. Lihi, when was the last time you acted late?”

“That’s right.”

After dropping me off at the academy, his father returned to headquarters.

I can’t even imagine the sense of responsibility I can feel from the back.

Hundreds of thousands of lives are exchanged for one word of command. Just thinking about it… It was terrible.

Buck and go—

The prince, who was busy with work, was suddenly called by the emperor.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and went in front of his father.

“Your Majesty. I heard you found it.”

“Welcome, Prince.”

As the crown prince approached cautiously, the emperor immediately brought up the main topic.

“Tell the Minister of War to reserve a spot in the Logistics Department.”

“Your Majesty?”

It’s a bit sudden, and a bit more embarrassing.

So the prince suddenly made an expression as if asking what was going on, and the emperor tapped his armrest.

“You know very well about the empire’s supply capabilities. And dare to talk about the problem in front of me. Not like a young aristocrat. He should be a child without experience, so why talk like someone with experience? As if this isn’t the first time this has happened.”

“….”

The words were all the more incomprehensible, so the prince just listened to the emperor in silence.

“Prince.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Do you know anything about the problems on the supply side of the Imperial Army?”

This is a fairly sudden question. But he wasn’t nervous or embarrassed.

Neither he nor the emperor could know the military affairs professionally anyway. If that was possible, there would be no Marshal of the Army or the Marshal of the Navy, and the Emperor would have held the military authority and commanded the general.

The same is true of supply capacity. The details and details are the work of experts. It is impossible for the emperor to ask himself the present question without knowing that. Then, the answer the emperor wants is….

‘… It must be something related to people.’

After thinking for a while, the prince began to carefully express his opinion.

“The other day, the head of the logistics department of the Ministry of War requested resignation due to illness. Since then, a new manager has come in, but it seems that he still does not have complete control over both the army and navy sides.”

Is this the correct answer? Is this really the answer the emperor wants? The prince, who secretly looked at the emperor, let out a sigh of relief. A slight smile hung on the emperor’s lips.

“That young friend I met a while ago said the same thing. There is no problem with the Empire’s supply capacity. You’re doing great. The problem is who is in charge of distributing it. The longer the war, the wider the frontline, and the more supply lines, the more people will be looking for supplies.

“The position of the current Logistics Manager is….”

“It’s a big department in the Ministry of War, but it’s under the minister anyway. Until now, battles had been fought on the border, and it was okay because there was a lull after a few battles, but not anymore.”

The Königssen advance on the mainland. And the war to end it all. The Emperor wanted it.

I can’t repeat this boring thing forever. We were afraid that the country would really perish after a war, so we couldn’t put an end to each other.

In the meantime, Königssen was the first to draw the sword. Grinding their teeth and preparing for an attack on all fronts, the Imperial Army collapsed and the enemy almost invaded the system.

“The invitation helped. He gave us another hero at this time.”

The Grand Marshal, who was a messenger of defense, the commander-in-chief who seized the coalition, and this time, a new figure who appeared like a comet and put a spear in the back of Königssen’s head. Thanks to them, Königsen collapsed again.

Now it’s the Empire’s turn to push. The time has come. Don’t miss out on this now.

“Your Majesty. There is a problem on the supply side.”

“Right now, the Empire is forced to speak louder than its field commanders. Officers and knights, army and navy, all compete for greater credit. It’s not something very negative, so it’s not something I should discuss.”

“However, in order to make a mark, you have to go to the field rather than the back, and those who want to enjoy glory are hoping to go forward.”

The results you can see right away, the fastest way to increase the honor of each faction.

As a result, the influence of the field is inevitable, but the imperial army supply side remains the same.

More battles, more achievements. If those characters ask the supply side for something, will that side really see it as a request?

It’s the least shiny, but it’s the most important place. That’s why you need to focus better.

So I want to go there. At least if it’s this name they have, ‘Reinhardt’, even those who have built numerous majors won’t be able to do it right away.

“….”

Meanwhile, the prince finally understood why the emperor had suddenly mentioned the logistics department.

‘So you’re trying to separate that part.’

Hey, even the crown prince himself was getting more and more worried about that part.

The Logistics Department, which belongs to the War Ministry, is the largest department, but it is only an organization set according to the size of the former Imperial Army. However, the size of the imperial army is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, most of the key personnel of the Logistics Department strongly want field work and go there, so there are many cases where the so-called ‘jjambab’ is lacking.

It would be nice to be able to capture those people, but the glory of being a soldier is ultimately focused on fighting the enemy and winning. No one can welcome back work.

If we advance across the border into Königsen’s territory as we are now, the scale of everything will double in an instant.

The number of troops will increase, the number of commanders will increase, and there will be those who will hold high positions through achievements, but what if the logistics department remains the same?

‘An accident is inevitable.’

Accidents in the military can never be small. Especially if it has to do with distribution.
