In The German High Command

Many Staff , Officers and Commanders were shocked after reading the reports of the success of the attack and also the Temporary Commander that led to it's success Elizabeth The one were many Officers were recommending to be promoted .

So they decided to report to Moltke The younger about this .

Moltke was discussing plans with Two generals until Suddenly officers entered carrying a letter .

Moltke sees the letter , It was a recommendation for Promotion of Elizabeth

Moltke: Who sent This letter ?

Officer : It's one of our army groups on the northern France coincidently one where Elizabeth was in .

Moltke: (Elizabeth)

Moltke: So what's has happen on the northern france ?

Officer : Shockingly it went well way better than expected , We managed to Encircle the British after we break through their defense while The french were all killed and we managed to set up a fortified defense on the land we have taken .

Moltke: that's certainly going well as more than we expected .

Officer: Also the one who lead the attack was none other than Elizabeth.

General 1 Spits out his coffee as he was shock how someone who is young can lead an army group already.

General 2 managed to calmed himself and listen to the explanation of the officer

Moltke: Why did Elizabeth lead the army group ?

Officers: On one of our testimonies the commander was killed by an artillery shell so they find someone capable and it was only Elizabeth the one right for the job .

Moltke: ( You are sure full of suprises Elizabeth maybe you can take my position as i want to retire already and take care of my children but for now you should rise through the ranks first and prove that you are worthy of my position. )

Moltke: Very well I agree on her promotion but instead of Commander of an army group I promote her to Major General.

Literally everyone who hears Moltke : whatt??!?!

General 1 : isn't it kinda Quick Moltke ?

Moltke: No I'm not I have already predicted that she will do this .

General 2 : How do you think the military react about this ?

Moltke: It's understandable that the promotion is a bit advance than others which will make them think that we are unfair so can you create an article to be send to everyone on the military about this matter .

Officer: Yes sir *leaves the room to go do his duty*

Moltke: I believe that the meeting is done you can both go now .

The two generals leaves the room as they have to go to the russian front .

...

Moltke: I should probably send some support personnel and allow her access to it if she needed .
