Gravedigger of the Empire

"Move it in! Move it in! Hurry up!" An officer stood at the gate of the courtyard, loudly reprimanding his soldiers.

The new department, of course, needs to be equipped with the corresponding resources; the defense forces cannot be completely ignored.

However... Kahn will have to handle the expenses for these personnel himself from now on.

Because it was newly established, the V organization was not very large, so it was only given a guard force of one platoon for the time being.

The platoon leader in charge was named Wolf, with a standard build and nothing particularly special about him.

Three standard infantry squads were responsible for patrolling, guarding, and standing guard, but for now they are temporarily being used as porters.

This is a garrison unit, so there are no heavy weapons. All the soldiers only have Mauser rifles, and the officers also carry pistols.

The organization has temporarily set up two action groups. Kahn has appointed Löw as the leader of one group, and his main task now is to monitor smuggling in Stuttgart...

The leader of Group Two was a former clerk from Agency R named Essen.

The reason for having such a person is partly because Sikert assigned him, and partly because Kahn really needed such a person.

Someone has to do the work, right? Even though this organization is run by him, someone still has to do the work of the defense forces.

Having a former clerk from agency R at least guarantees that there won't be any problems with the business... no, with the tasks.

The person in charge of logistics was Albert, one of Kahn's own men.

This is a position that even Sickett can't get involved in, because the operation of this organization depends entirely on Kahn himself.

"Be careful! Do you know how much this desk costs?" Wolf, who had just been transferred, was very eager to help.

He really wanted to make a good impression on his new boss, because even a fool could see that this new department... was damn rich!

All the office furniture was newly purchased; Kahn's own desk and sofa were clearly high-quality items.

Even more extravagant was the row of brand-new Daimler cars parked in the yard; Wolff's old regimental headquarters couldn't even muster that many cars.

"Don't be so tense, Lieutenant Wolf!" Kahn walked over with Borshe, looking at the busy soldiers with satisfaction.

He enjoyed the process; it was his own territory, his own office…

Kahn was very confident; soon, very soon, he could see his own men everywhere he looked!

"Choose one!" he said suddenly, turning aside to give way to the view.

"Huh?" Wolf was taken aback.

"A car, pick one... I don't know if you can drive." Kahn started throwing money around, a tactic that always worked.

"I, I don't..." Wolf was a little embarrassed, feeling that the car that was supposed to be his was slipping away from him.

"Borscher! Think of something. Find a driver for Lieutenant Wolf. Someone quick-witted, from among the veterans," Kahn immediately turned to Borscher and instructed him.

"Okay." Bowser nodded, agreeing readily.

Wolf was stunned, thinking his car had flown far away. He really hadn't expected that a lieutenant like himself would be assigned a driver.

Even battalion commanders in front-line combat units don't seem to receive this kind of treatment, right?

"This... isn't against the rules..." Wolf whispered a reminder.

"What rules?" Kahn was taken aback. "Here, my rules are the rules!"

He felt great when he said that, because he had wanted to say it for a very long time.

"Don't worry, the gasoline issue and the driver's salary are none of your business," Kahn said, patting Wolf on the shoulder.

"Want to drive your wife to a movie? Or take the kids to the suburbs for a picnic... anything that doesn't interfere with work is fine." He's like a devil, tempting people to fall.

"As for the driver... they are the driver, the driver of V Agency, it has nothing to do with you! That's how it is to outsiders, but internally, it's your private car, and the driver is your driver." Kahn put his arm around the other person's shoulder and made things clear.

"..." This was the first time Wolf had ever seen a German do things this way; he had never seen such a generous boss.

"Each infantry squad... gets two trucks! I'll find someone to handle the maintenance, but there's one requirement: they have to learn how to repair and maintain the trucks... Don't let them all act like idiots, leaving me with nowhere to find a job after I leave." Kahn put his arm around Wolf as they walked into the office building, giving instructions as they went.

Several rooms have already been decorated quite nicely, but the door signs haven't been made yet.

Essen saw Kahn and quickly came over to greet him: "Chief!"

"Well! Since you're here too, I'll just say it all at once. Bread, sausages, canned goods, butter... you can eat as much as you want in the cafeteria. I'll even take care of what you have at home! This is your treatment! Understand?" Kahn was like Santa Claus at this moment.

Essen and Mrs. Wall were stunned; they truly hadn't expected their newly transferred department to be so lavish.

Just for the benefit of dining in the canteen, a second lieutenant in the V organization wouldn't even go if offered the rank of major at headquarters.

"Now that you're here, you're on our side! From now on, we'll all work together on V Organization's affairs... And I'll definitely think of everyone when there's something in it for me! You'll see that in the future." Kahn pointed to himself: "Welcome, both of you!"

"Thank you, Chief! Wolf is at your service!" Wolf shouted, his legs together and his heels clicking loudly.

Essen is very thin, but he is about the same height as Wolf, around 1.78 meters.

He stood at attention and gave his reply: "I will do my utmost to carry out your orders, Chief!"

"Ah! Let me introduce you two!" Kahn's smile widened as he saw Albert approaching.

"This Albert is the logistics team leader I found. You can tell him anything you need to buy or anything you're missing," Kahn said, pointing to the old man.

The two immediately introduced themselves as well. They both knew one thing: the most troublesome person in the department was the head of the logistics department.

If you offend this person, they might easily make things difficult for you for the rest of your life...

"We need to find some good cooks for the cafeteria. Everyone is working for the country, and it's unacceptable for them to not eat well," Kahn casually advised Albert.

Albert smiled and nodded: "Recruited from your hotel, their skills are quite good."

"You've eaten it?" Kahn asked, somewhat surprised.

"I went to take a look yesterday." Albert made no secret of the fact that he had used his position for personal gain and had a lavish meal at a hotel owned by Kahn.

"..." The two new subordinates finally realized just how rich their boss really was.
