blonde girl.

She, who introduced herself as Edinburgh Rose, is now sitting in the front seat of me, smiling and looking at me.

As soon as she saw me, she got up from her seat and immediately sat down in front of me.

If you just take off your glasses with your little hands and run the flowing hair behind your ears, you would think that an angel has descended.

“Are you going to see me again?”

No, absolutely not.

The person in front of me right now is a mysterious monster A.

Maybe it could cost my life.

” …. “

Where have you been, Louie!

Come quickly and save me.

Now that gangster is trying to kidnap me.

I want you to defeat that young girl with the wand of the archmage that she was so proud of.

In his mind, Louis called dozens of times, but Louis did not return in the end.

Maybe he is reading a fairy tale book with his eyes shining in a nook and corner.

I had no choice but to respond to the woman in front of me with a business smile.

Because you never know what will happen if you touch the wrong planting.

” what brings you here..? “

“Of course I came to read the book.”

Is it a lie or the truth that I came to read a book?

I can’t quite get it

” book. “

“?”

“I am reading the book that Prince Rommel gave me.”

“What are you talking about…”

“Didn’t you give me a book called <What is War?>?”

Young-ae tilted her head and looked at me clearly.

I couldn’t seem to get the focus of the conversation at all.

If that’s the book, the book I read in the library yesterday was correct.

But I never gave her a book or anything like that.

Who the hell did you misunderstand?

“Anyway, I’m studying hard. But I want to ask you one thing, is it okay?”

” ..what? “

Young-ae opens the book she had in her hand on the desk.

Young-ae pulled out a bookmark embroidered with bright yellow flowers, and pointed to a page with her slender finger.

To be honest, I wanted to ask what the hell it really was, but if I asked it outright, I could have choked my neck.

It was a sure way to just tell them what they wanted and get rid of them quickly.

“This part here.”

Young-ae pointed her finger at a passage in the book, turned the book over and showed it to me.

I frowned for a moment and read the verses in the book, and it was written:

< Any army must obey the orders of its superior commander unconditionally, and can be killed if they disobey orders. However, I think differently. The commander should give the platoon commanders of each unit free authority. >

“I don’t quite understand what this means.”

I frowned and looked at Young-ae with her arms crossed, and I was troubled for a moment.

‘ Should the commander give the platoon commanders free authority? ‘

There were countries that practiced this verse similarly, or perhaps equally, to this book.

“Mission-type command system (Auftragstaktik)…”

” Yes? “

“No, I’m talking to myself for a moment.”

Why and why did the command system that appeared universally in the modern era appear in this era that remains in the Middle Ages?

Who the hell is the author of this book?

“Confucius?”

” ..how. “

Unfortunately, I did not read this book to the end.

As soon as I got to the library, I borrowed it and read it for several hours, but I couldn’t read it all to the end.

The reason was because of this young Ae who was smiling brightly right in front of my eyes.

“..I wonder if Confucius Rommel understands..”

“It is a mission-type command system.”

” Yes? “

I purposely raise my voice so that Young-ae can be heard.

Young-ae would have thought that I did not understand the passages in this book, but no.

I was familiar with this system.

Of course, this system was used by Germany in WWII.

As I was locked up in history majoring and graduate school, I couldn’t know if I didn’t know.

“Operational goals are set, and the means or tactics to achieve these goals are delegated to the front-line commander. It’s a system.”

“You guarantee autonomy for front-line commanders?”

“In some cases, disobeying orders is also an acceptable tactic.”

“Does that make sense?”

Young-ae’s voice echoed softly, but no one looked at her.

Did he use any special magic, or luckily there was no one nearby.

If, unfortunately, the professor was reading a book nearby, you should have left immediately.

“On the battlefield, the commander’s orders are absolute, and if you make a mistake, the discipline will…”

“Could you lose your discipline?”

“Yes, if you refuse the commander’s orders, of course, the military will not be disciplined. If that happens, the military will become a mess.”

“Let’s just think about it.”

I let out a small sigh and started talking.

“There is a trap ahead, but this trap can be avoided by turning around. But the commander is unaware of that fact.”

“…?”

Young-ae looked at me, tilting her head, not knowing the intention of my question.

“If the commander asks you to keep moving forward, will you be able to move forward?”

“…”

Only then did she understand the intent of my question, and Yeong-ae, unable to answer anything.

Then I started talking.

“All standards are relative. Of course, it is important to listen to the commander’s orders on the battlefield. However, the battlefield is like a rippling wave, so you have to command the army according to the situation and in the right place.”

” ..exactly. “

“To do that, it is most effective to give freedom to the platoon leader of each squad.”

mission-based command system.

It is the most modern command system used by Germany during World War II.

This was also related to the blitzkrieg that Germany was proud of.

At the time of World War II, Germany had to break through the French and Ardennes forests to secure a bridgehead and form a siege as soon as possible for the Scythe.

To do that, I had to get to the Mas River in three days and cross the Mas River on the fourth day.

At that time, Heinz Guderian, the commander of the tank unit, moved himself with the front line unit, in order to quickly grasp the situation.

Unlike the old-fashioned commanders who were stuck in the commander’s barracks after the army and didn’t know anything about the situation on the battlefield, Guderian went directly to the forefront.

The Germans were able to push back the Belgian and French forces through Operation Scythe.

and.

“The more advanced tactic here is what I call Wolfpack.”

“Are you here?”

“Yes, wolves will signal to the herd when one of the herds finds prey, and the herd will quickly form a siege and hunt for prey.”

“It’s totally…”

“Independence is guaranteed.”

Young-ae nodded her head without saying a word.

When you look at it like this, Young-ae is a faithful listener in class, so why did she lie to me like that?

At least, the emotion of curiosity contained in those eyes must not be fake.

“It’s the same with the army, giving each squad independent powers and when they spot an enemy, they share the enemy’s position with each other through a canned signal. And report the enemy’s position and the number of allies to the commander.”

I swallowed my saliva and began to speak.

Oh, you can’t do this.

When I asked him to tell me about the strategies and tactics written in history, my seriousness was relieved again.

“When enough allies are gathered, the commander decides and issues an attack order. Then, nearby independent squads attack the enemy from all sides.”

“…really… if there was an army like this.”

“If there is an army like this, it would be the ideal army. The commander goes to the front line for quick situational judgment, and each squad independently crushes the enemy within the freedom they are allowed.”

The myth of the German blitzkrieg began with this little detail.

Free independent squads, selfless commanders, and soldiers who believe in their commanders.

This created a huge synergy effect, which resulted in Germany terrorizing Europe.

“..Prince Rommel”

Sitting blankly for a moment, Young-ae, who had been listening to me, looked at me and opened her mouth gently.

” ..Tell me.”

There was a hint of anxiety, but Young-ae’s eyes were too burdensome, so she nodded her head up and down.

Young-ae said in a voice full of anticipation with her eyes twinkling.

“Please be my tutor.”

” Yes? “

“It’s like meeting Confucius Rommel and opening your eyes to a new world.”

“?”

Young-ae’s sudden bombshell declaration.

The proposal to become a private tutor was too burdensome for me.

Besides, I didn’t know the identity of this young-ae yet.

Who knows whether she will become the blade that will come to my neck in the future, or whether she will become a rope.

Trust between people is not so easily earned.

Especially when they don’t even know each other’s names.

“I will refuse.”

“Can… no, yes?”

“I said no, that’s all I can give you.”

Leaving behind the bewildered Young-ae, I quickly got up and ran towards the other side of the library.

It seemed that Young-ae’s voice could be heard from behind, but I didn’t know.

From now on, it will be charged, Youngae.
