Adams, Jefferson, and others in charge of the Continental Army's propaganda work are not ignorant of the facts. The reason why they deliberately devalued Laval but raised Gates in the article is mainly because the "butcher" Laval has a bad reputation and has repeatedly Use the power of demons in battle.
If Laval becomes a war hero of the Continental Army and is widely publicized, if something goes wrong in the future, the Continental Army will be discredited.
In contrast, General Gates, who has a better publicity reputation and an image more in line with the standards of a gentleman, is more secure.
...
The "Baden Victory" won a huge reputation for General Charles Gates. Overnight, his name spread throughout the New World and even the Old World. He was regarded as the number one hero in the campaign and became the nation in the minds of all revolutionary people in the colony. hero!
At this time, General Johnny Burgoin, who had returned to his home country, saw articles about the Battle of Baden from Avalon’s newspapers, especially those who praised Charles Gates’s wise and magical command. It’s hard to touch. mind.
In fact, he had no impression of Gates at all, but rather impressed and even sympathized with the brave lion-like Benedict Laval.
Burgoin was outraged by the injustice suffered by Laval and published an open letter in the newspaper stating that he had lost to Benedict Laval, not Charles Gates, a speculator who stole the honor of others. Unfortunately, the words of the defeated general did not attract the attention of the people of the New World.
In the winter of 1626, Charles Gates was in the limelight. His brilliance seemed to have surpassed George Vassar, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, not to mention Benedict Laval, who was recuperating in his hospital bed.
General Gates had long held a grudge against Laval for squeezing himself out, and now he finally found an opportunity for revenge. In the report submitted to the Continental Congress, he did not mention Laval's achievements in the Battle of Baden.
After Laval learned of it, he sat up angrily from the hospital bed and immediately wrote to Gates to protest in writing!
Gates received Laval's letter of protest and threw it into the wastebasket without even looking at it.

Qiao An learned about the causes and consequences of the Battle of Baden through the newspapers and periodicals subscribed on the cloud network and the gossip on the forum.
He tried to broaden his observational horizons. Looking at the attitudes of the public opinion circles in Varese countries towards the "Baden Victory" related reports, it is not difficult to find that this victory is likely to become a turning point in the colonial war of independence.
The significance of the "Baden Victory" is not only reflected in the annihilation and capture of many enemy troops, but more importantly, it made the old world powers on the other side of the ocean realize the great potential of the Continental Army. The independence revolution in the New World is not a joke. There was great hope of success, which in turn prompted the great powers to change their positions and more actively support and subsidize the revolutionaries in the New World.
Qiao An had a foreboding that the "Baden Victory" marked that the War of Independence was no longer just a "housework" for the Feichen Kingdom and its colonies, and would soon be transformed into an international war in which the great powers competed for the hegemony of the Varese world.
...
The disputes on the surface world are magnificent, and the dark area where Qiao Ann lives in seclusion is not peaceful. On the second day after returning to Oedis, Qiao Ann was involved in a whistleblower case inexplicably, and was dragged onto the dock to accept the mastermind and the Cardinal House. Joint interrogation of the four elders.
This afternoon, Qiao An was studying spells in the study, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Dear master, a distinguished guest is visiting!" Tame the butler opened the door and came in with a beaming face.
Seeing his excitement, Qiao Ann guessed six or seven points and asked: "Mehtatron is coming to me?"
"Yes, it is Master Metatron, who is waiting for you in the living room on the first floor!" Tam said excitedly, "Master and Master Metatron have such a good relationship with each other. It seems that the day when we move back to the main city It's almost here, should I pack my luggage first?"
"You think too much!" Qiao Ann reprimanded the housekeeper, "Edith is a place of rules. No matter how deep my personal relationship with Master Metatron is, it is impossible to reduce the punishment. I have accumulated Before you have enough honor points and completely get rid of the crime of'vagrant', you can live here with peace of mind and don't think about good things all day long!"
"Hey~ the master is right, in fact, it's pretty good here, cleaner than the city..." The dwarf butler smiled awkwardly.
Qiao An really likes being clean, and doesn't want to move back to the city. He is constantly monitored by the mastermind. There is no privacy at all. It is very inconvenient to do anything.
As for Tam, this is of course just a talk. Like other dwarfs, he is boring to live in the deserted and secluded suburbs. Of course, he hopes to move back to the bustling city life.
Qiao An sent away the housekeeper and went downstairs to the living room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a graceful and familiar figure standing with his back facing him. If it weren't for the growth of an octopus head, this figure would be called a peerless beauty.
"Spiritual Princess" Metatron, dressed in a long-skirt moisturizing suit, the white leather gleaming in the light of the magic candlestick, but when she turned around, Qiao An immediately noticed a haze in her eyes .
"Master Metatron...what's the matter?" Qiao An asked tentatively.
Metatron didn't make a sound, and the six purple tentacles shook lightly, showing hesitation in his heart.
In the silent living room, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Qiao An couldn't help but suspect that he had inadvertently exposed a flaw, prompting Metatron to suspect that he was not the real "faster" Gnostic, otherwise why the other party's attitude was so weird?
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, and his nerves couldn't help tensing, and he secretly prepared to prepare for Metatron's attack.
The silence lasted for a long time, and Metatron seemed to finally make up his mind and break the silence with a telepathy.
"Brother Gnostic, you have chosen a good place to live. We chat here, don't worry about being heard."
Metatron's words are very intriguing.
The spiritual communication between the mind-severs, unless special supernatural eavesdropping methods are used, would not have been heard by a third party. Isn't this nonsense that Metatron said?
However, Qiao An changed his mind and suddenly realized the true intentions of the other party.
In Oedis, there is only one person who can listen to the conversations of the residents of the city and even the spiritual communication at will, that is, Noah, the "legendary master".
Metatron didn't specify it, but the implication clearly implied that there were some words that I wanted to say to Gnostic in private, and didn't even want to fall into the ears of the master's brain, so he took the initiative to come to the suburbs of the city, not in the scope of the master's mind The stone tower inside visits him.
