Chapter 300: Military Industrial Alliance

by karlmaks — The next morning, when sunlight spilled into the room through the gaps in the heavy curtains, Morin slowly opened his eyes. A hangover-like fatigue wrapped around him, yet his mind was unusually clear. Last night, Morin had actually kept the old military doctor's instructions in mind, so he hadn't forgotten to put up a token struggle at the final moment. "The military doctor said I should minimize exercise before the wound on my waist is completely healed..." "It's okay, you don't need to…

Chapter 299: Night in Koblenz

by karlmaks — Morin sighed and sat up from the bed. He thought it was a manor servant or perhaps a bold lady who hadn't gotten what she wanted at the banquet. Rubbing his slightly stiff face and putting on his polite smile again, Morin got up, walked to the door, and opened it, ready to send the visitor away with the most courteous words. However, the person standing outside the door made all the words he had prepared stick in his throat. Under the soft corridor lights, Cecilia was standing there…

Chapter 298: Jump Ship? Accelerate!

by karlmaks — About half an hour later, the sedan slowly drove into the gate of a manor. The scale of the manor wasn't particularly grand, but everywhere revealed an understated exquisiteness, clearly showing the owner's extraordinary taste. As soon as the car stopped, a butler in a tailcoat with meticulously combed hair came forward and respectfully opened the door for him. "Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel Morin. Welcome." The butler's voice was gentle and polite. "Good evening." Morin nodded, somewhat…

Chapter 297: Achievement Unlocked

by karlmaks — Morin never expected that he would end up resembling a certain "Medal Fanatic" in his lifetime. Opposite him, Albert II obviously hadn't expected to pin so many medals on Morin in one go either. To boost morale, Albert II and the big shots of the Army finally decided to award Morin the medals on the spot. Under normal circumstances, except for medals of the level of the Blue Max and the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, other medals were simply handed out in boxes. Their decision reflected the…

Chapter 296: We’re Getting Better

by karlmaks — Outside Paris, the smell of gunpowder and the lingering scent of negative energy hadn't completely dissipated. Inside the temporary camp of the First Army Group, busy figures were everywhere. The Instruction Assault Battalion had been resting in its own campsite these days, but apart from the wounded, daily training had not been neglected. Morin, Kleist, and others were handling various combat documents with the help of administrative officers. At the same time, they had to organize a large…

Chapter 295: Imperial Guard Instruction Assault Unit

by karlmaks — "Imperial Guard," this term directly defined the status and affiliation of this unit. Without limiting it to specific formations like battalion, regiment, brigade, or division, but establishing it independently as "Unit X," granted it great flexibility. The detailed planning section of the proposal also verified Albert II's speculation. The current plan was to first expand this unit into a full-strength reinforced regiment-level unit. In the future, it could be further expanded to brigade-level…

Chapter 294: Whose General Is This, So Brave?

by karlmaks — Albert II was naturally aware that his eldest son, the Crown Prince Georg, had formed the Instruction Assault Battalion before the war and was attempting to promote army reforms. However, he hadn't paid too much attention to it; instead, he felt gratified that Crown Prince Georg was focusing his energy on military affairs. Because before Georg began military training at the age of eighteen, the Crown Prince's main hobbies... were the violin and artistic creation. For a child from an ordinary…

Chapter 293: Good News, Bad News

by karlmaks — Dresden, Royal Palace. The Saxon Empire Emperor, Albert II, was sitting alone in his spacious yet slightly empty study, carefully reviewing the final report on the Battle of Paris submitted by the General Staff. Outside the window, the faint light of dawn had already bathed the entire city, but the fatigue on the Emperor's face remained indelible. From the perspective of the outcome, it was hard to say who the real winner of the Battle of Paris was. The Saxon Empire paid a considerable price.…
