How to suck at your job of being a commander featuring the fat handlebar mustache. I have to say though, it's clearly a great strategy to let all your men die so you eventually have a meat shield tall enough to win or they'll just be out of ammo and you win by default. Either way he's a great tactician...

I don't think that's entirely correct. While it's true that the Lt. Gen. was portrayed as lazy, delegating almost everything to the Major, Ikta did say that the punitive expedition against the natives (forgot their name) was assembled very quickly. We also learn, from both the Major and the native's chieftain that the Lt. Gen. has a specific 'passion' against these natives and engages in a battle of attrition. It's his scheming that made the natives fall into his trap - rebelling against the empire.

He may even plotted their holy war with one of his pawns ; getting his bashing war on a plate, and losing his 2nd who was slowing him at the same time.

In the manga he even talks shit about his 2nd in command and says that he was indeed slowing him down. He even givs some of the hints of what he has done. I do believe he was talking to himself or in was in deep thoughts tho.
