"If you can complete the mission excellently, there will definitely be a place for you as an Imperial Marshal!"
Upon hearing the promise of "Imperial Marshal" from Jerome Bonaparte, Louis Feldbu discarded the last trace of hesitation in his heart.
For someone like Louis Feldbu, an officer of the mid-level of the Empire, becoming an Imperial Marshal was undoubtedly the only goal he strived for in life.
Though the stature of a Second Empire Marshal was significantly lesser than that of a First Empire, it was still a position that most officers could only aspire to, with many ending their careers at the rank of Major General, which used to be known as division-level officers.
Only a few lucky ones could climb up to Imperial Marshal step by step through foreign wars.
(Saint Arno achieved it through deeds in the Crimea, Pellissier was promoted to Marshal after winning the Crimean War.
Conrobel and Bosskay later became Marshals also due to the advantages gained from the Crimean War.)
