I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.269

Warsaw Navy flagship captain’s quarters.

Admiral Timo von Kivinen, who took command of the 120-ship front, which could be said to be almost the entire Warsaw Navy, looked at his generals with confidence.

Although his subordinates were almost 10 years older than him, the commander, they had no choice but to silently accept his gaze as they were inferior in terms of military achievements compared to the military achievements that Captain Timo had made so far.

The commander said, pointing with his baton to a map of the Warsaw waterfront on the bulletin board.

“The enemy commander is a very capable man. Therefore, they say they are mobilizing all their warships to transport food for the people on the western coast. “Captain Jaeger, that bastard must be getting a battleship from somewhere.”

Captain Teemo spoke with confidence, but when the other generals heard him, they had doubts as to whether it was true.

No matter how capable Captain Jaeger is, he probably doesn’t have the talent to pull a battleship out of thin air.

How on earth will they, who have mobilized all their ships to transport military supplies, bring in warships for battle?

“So, we will prepare for a naval battle against him and embark on a maritime blockade operation. Now, I will explain the outline of the operation. Our army will first lead all 120 ships under its command to subdue ports in the western coastal area, including Port Gryfino. At this time, Captain Jaeger will probably lead a small number of ships to fight against us. “If we succeed in subduing them, we will stay at sea for the next three months and cut off the enemy’s maritime supply.”

According to Captain Timo’s calculations, no matter how hard the Reich Imperial Army transports food, it can only carry at most three weeks’ worth of food at a time.

No matter how much you save, you won’t be able to survive for a month and a half, and after that, starving people will collectively revolt.

There is no doubt that the imperial army will give up and run away because it cannot withstand the maritime blockade and the popular rebellion of over 2 million people.

“If we just cut off sea supply and destroy the Reich Empire’s fleet that will come to visit us later, we will achieve complete victory. With this I will cover the great defeat on the Plain of Glopino!”

The generals under Captain Timo were thrilled by the words ‘complete victory.’

After suffering a major defeat on the Glopino Plain, I was filled with a sense of defeat and frustration, and I felt a sense of crisis that the Grand Duchy of Warsaw would be ruined by the Reich Empire.

However, the tactics and operational strategy presented by Commander Timo not only drove the Reich Imperial Army to defeat, but also clearly presented a level of victory that could even extract compensation.

The hearts of those who loved the Grand Duchy of Warsaw more than anyone else could not help but beat.

In the meantime, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the captain’s cabin.

“I’m a messenger. Can I come in?”

“If the news is not urgent, please wait a little.”

“This is very urgent news. “Please give me permission to enter the room right now!”

Captain Teemo had no choice but to order them to come in, and as soon as the door was opened, the messenger knelt on one knee and bowed his head as per courtesy and reported.

“I will report to the commander. “A friendly reconnaissance fleet discovered Captain Peter Yeager’s flagship at sea.”

As soon as Timo heard that story, his heart pounded.

The fact that the reconnaissance fleet discovered the enemy meant that he had an opportunity to take over Peter Yeager through a near-perfect operation of his own design.

“Haha, keep talking.”

While Commander Teemo’s expression and smile were bright, the messenger’s expression was very dark.

Because it was a sign that the news to come would not be very good, the expressions on the faces of all the generals present slowly turned sour.

“A reconnaissance fleet of five ships led by Rear Admiral Zdzysław Vakski encountered three enemy ships, including the flagship believed to have Peter Jaeger on board. The warden attempted an all-out war, believing that 3 enemy ships against 5 friendly ships would be a sufficient match according to the tactical doctrine of the Grand Duchy Army…” “

I tried, but what! Are you planning to say that we were completely annihilated?!”

The messenger lowered his head and spoke as if he could not bear to say those words.

“Our team suffered a crushing defeat in a head-to-head match with Peter Yeager. On the flagship ship on which Rear Admiral Zdzisław Vaksinski was riding, Captain Peter Jäger personally came onto the deck with a sword and slaughtered the friendly forces, and the remaining three ships were occupied by the Reich Imperial Army. “The ship I was on took advantage of the chaos to escape… but 50 of the 150 combatants were killed.”

When the generals heard those words, their spirits were not broken, but they fell into complete confusion as they could not figure out why such a terrible thing had happened.

Some of them were pinching their thighs, thinking it must be a nightmare, while others were staring blankly into space with their mouths open.

Captain Teemo asked, still not giving up hope.

“If there had been a fierce close combat between 3 ships and 5 ships, the enemy’s losses would have been considerable. “Isn’t that right?”

Although it is a great humiliation and humiliation for 5 scout ships to be killed by only 3 enemy ships, if the ship was ‘occupied’ after a fierce battle… Captain

Timo and the rest of the generals are afraid that the evil Peter Yeager will destroy the scout fleet. I asked this question because it would be possible to maintain some level of morale by saying that they were annihilated through cowardly numbers and that those who died fought valiantly.

The generals had some hope here, but the messenger responded with a look of horror.

“The enemy’s losses will be very minimal. The number of war dead can be counted on ten fingers at most. The siege ballista crossbow magic was fired all at once right before close combat, and the battle began, leaving the allies unable to use their hands or feet. “I was treated like that!”

After saying those words, the messenger had a terrified expression on his face, as if if he closed his eyes, he would dream of Peter Yeager holding a sword and slashing his head.

To the extent that Captain Timo and the other generals thought that the soldiers who survived on this ship would no longer be able to fight.

No, if these guys were dragged into the war, the morale of the Warsaw Navy would plummet to the bottom of hell.

“You seem to have suffered heavy losses in this battle, so immediately return to the ship you were on and tell them that I, Timo, have given the order to return to port. “I will not forget the reward for waging a fierce battle.”

After saying that, the messenger immediately went out and closed the door.

The friendly atmosphere of the confident commander and the generals who trusted and followed him disappeared as quickly as the morning sun rose, like the fog clearing.

Out of a fleet of 120 ships, only 5 ships were hit, but if something is destroyed like this in a skirmish, it will affect the morale of the allies more than anything else.

This is because the morale of our troops will drop due to a situation of concern.

What’s more terrible is that Captain Peter Yeager has increased the number of battleships to fight against them.

In the face of these facts, Captain Timo felt as if his eyesight was turning dark for a moment.

‘We outnumber them in number of warships, but an unexpected variable has arisen.’

However, the commander’s agitation caused irreparable problems, so he soon came to his senses and gave orders.

“The number of ships that Peter Yeager can mobilize is extremely limited. So there is no need to be afraid at all. On the contrary, it was a good thing that the pigs of the Reich Empire stuck their heads out and came out on their own! Isn’t that so, gentlemen!”

The generals reacted indifferently when they heard those words.

“The enemy has only a few dozen ships at most, but our forces have 115 ships. “Looking at the numbers, it’s clear that we have a huge advantage, so I’m really thankful that they came out on their own like this.”

Even Captain Teemo, who spoke cheerfully, was taken aback by the sudden dominance, so I could tell what the other generals were thinking… even without saying anything.

Again, the door suddenly opened and a new messenger came in and spoke.

“I see the flagship with enemy Commander Captain Peter Yeager on board! There are three enemy ships, including the flagship! The distance is estimated to be approximately 600 meters! “As soon as they spot us, they reverse direction and run away!”

When they heard that Peter Yeager was running away, Captain Timo and the generals came to their senses.

This is because Peter Yeager’s flight was judged to show that his main force was small and that there was no strategy to deal with.

Moreover, if they lost him in this condition, it was very obvious that the morale of the Warsaw Navy would sink to the bottom of hell.

“Commander Teemo!”

“Quickly give the tracking order! We need to kill those bastards.”

“Seeing as they run away as soon as they see us, it won’t be long before we see them, and if we lose sight of him here… what greater shame could there be than that?”

When Timo heard those words, he pulled out the sword on his waist and struck an empty spot on the desk.

“Peter Jaeger, I’m heading out to slit that son of a bitch’s head! The entire fleet, launch out and speed up! Let’s slit Peter Egger’s head!”
