Chapter 24 Suspicion (Holy shit, it's the fifth watch)

The Prussian Army's Asgard Knights' Ampulla Armored Division headquarters, Chief of Staff Kluge von Hessendaier grasped Division Commander William Dietrich's hand, "Leave it to me."

The lieutenant who brought back Major General William said, "I think the Major General is currently in a deep coma and probably can't hear what you're saying."

"I know," Kluge von Hessendaier glanced at the lieutenant.

The Asgard Knights, as confidants of the Emperor, tended to prefer officers not from Junker nobility. The establishment of the Knights was one of the means by which His Majesty sought to reduce the influence of the officer corps.

However, the position of staff officer is not quite the same as that of a military commander. First, staff officers don't accumulate military exploits easily; even if the combat plan is wholly devised by the staff officer, and even if the plan's execution is personally directed by the staff officer, any victory would still be credited to the military commander.
