Chapter 2745: Winter in Forge Valley (Ⅲ)

"Unfortunately, in the past year's war, I did not see the spirituality and decisiveness that a famous general should have from General Vassar."
Roland shrugged regretfully and spread his hands.
"For example, in the defense of Midgard, the situation before the war is very clear. Everyone can see that the city of Midgard, whose port was blocked by the Fijian naval fleet, cannot be defended at all. In fact, there is no need to stick to it."
"However, General Vassar knew this fact, but he still proposed to the Continental Congress a plan to defend the isolated city. As a result, he was surrounded by the sea and army of Feizhen. If it were not for luck and suddenly heavy fog, then the battle would have to fight. The Continental Army’s wealth is lost."
"Dr. Vader, as the commander-in-chief of General Vassar, shouldn't he blame himself for making such a strategic misjudgment?"
Facing the question from His Majesty the Emperor, Qiao An was speechless for a while.
Of course, he can defend Vassar just as he is.
For example, emphasizing the special status of Midgard on the east coast of the New World. If you abandon the de facto capital of the colony without firing a shot, you will be politically passive and condemned in public opinion, which will lead to the morale of the majority of revolutionaries. Being hit has greatly disappointed international friends.
Therefore, General Vassar knew that he could not hold back, he had to fight his scalp and resist, to convey to the world the signal of "The Continental Army has done its best" and to win some sympathy points.
However, if you lose, you lose, and no amount of explanation can conceal your incompetence.
If General Vassar is really a brilliant and brilliant general, even in the dilemma at the time, he still has the opportunity to make up for the gap in the strength of the troops with his own strategy and fight a beautiful battle that defeats the strong with the weak.
Isn’t the reason why famous players from all over the ages have been able to survive and be widely acclaimed because they have fought such miraculous victories?
If George Vassar was just an ordinary military officer, no one would demand him with the level of those famous generals in history. However, he is the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, the high-profile revolutionary leader in the New World, and the elector of the Goddess of Destiny. Thousands of people love him, and people have high hopes for him, hoping that he can lead the Continental Army to defeat the strong and become a great cause that ordinary people can't achieve. Isn't it natural?
The higher a person's status, the greater the responsibility he bears. If he fails to meet people's expectations, wouldn't he become an exaggerated and unworthy laughingstock?
From this perspective, it is not harsh to compare George Vassar with the famous generals of the past.
Not to mention, the same is to pull up a team to fight for independence, and the same is to face the armed suppression of the sovereign state. George Vassar and Roland's father Rudolf I are in similar situations, but his military ability is comparable to that of contemporary celebrities and founders. Lord Rudolph I?
No matter how good the personal relationship between Qiao Ann and Vassar is, no matter how much he protects his shortcomings, he can't hide his face and force Vassar and Rudolf I to describe them as generals of the same grade.
In fact, it is not difficult for Qiao An to understand why His Majesty Roland is quite critical of General Vassar's military abilities.
After all, his dad is Rudolph I. He followed his dad to fight against the country since he was a child. No one knows what "famous demeanor" is better than him. As a result, George Vasa, known as "Rudolph of the New World," This level?
That's it? That's it? !
Spicy, why on earth are you comparing with my dad!
Do you all marry rich and beautiful widows?
It would be disappointed if Qiao An was in Roland's position, very unconvinced, and even felt that Dad's Spirit in Heaven had been deeply offended.
When Qiao An was in a complicated mood, Roland continued:
If the Continental Army’s generals are not high enough to pick a commander better than Vassar, then it’s okay to choose him as the commander-in-chief. There is excuse, but reality does not seem to be the case."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean... In the Continental Army camp, there are generals who are more suitable for the commander-in-chief than Vassar?" Vigraf asked tentatively.
"For example, in the fall of last fall, he led his troops to slam the 4th Division of the Fichen Army's reorganization and forced General Johnny Burgoin to surrender General Charles Gates. In terms of qualifications and record, isn't it better than George? Is Vassar more suitable for the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army?"
Roland looked at Vigraf, his eyes especially sharp.
"Vigraf, why didn't you mention the hero General Gates of the'Baden Victory' in the report you just made?"
"Your Majesty, I have no personal grievances with General Gates, and I dare not hide anything from you. The reason why I didn't mention this person just now is mainly because I don't understand him."
Vigraf quickly explained.
"You have been investigating in Forge Valley for two months, haven't you had a chance to have in-depth contact with General Gates?" Roland was puzzled.
"Your Majesty... I stayed in Forge Valley for two months without vacation. General Gates did not spend the winter in the barracks. He didn't end his vacation until late March. He came to the Forge Valley where the headquarters is from his hometown of Leiden. I went back to my country to report on my work in a few days, and I really couldn't find a chance to have a deep friendship with General Gates." Vigraf smiled bitterly.
"It turned out to be like this..." His Majesty nodded suddenly, and then asked Vigraf: "Tell me about your impressions of General Gates, as well as the evaluation of him by all levels of the Continental Army."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will report to you what I have learned." Vigraf said respectfully.
Qiao An didn't have much impression of General Gates. He only remembered that this general was the father of his old classmate Edward Gates. He had served as the garrison commander of Alfheim and was once George Vassar's immediate superior.
Because of these sources, he also wanted to hear Vigraf's evaluation of General Gates.
…
In mid-March 1627, while Vigraf assisted Vassar to train troops in the Forge Valley, General Charles Gates ended his vacation and recuperation in his hometown of Leiden, and came here with the reputation of the first hero of the "Baden Victory" Forge Valley.
George Vasat led all the staff of the headquarters to greet him and ordered a salute to be fired to show his welcome.
When Vassar saw General Gates riding a tall horse and appearing in front of him surrounded by the guards, he looked energetic and unbelievable, and couldn't help feeling sour.
General Gates came to Forge Valley under the aura of a hero, and was treated by the stars holding the moon, and the limelight had already overshadowed him as the commander-in-chief.
What makes Vassar even more depressed is that the brilliant victory that General Gates won in the Baden Wetlands has nothing to do with his commander-in-chief. After all, he did not personally direct the Battle of Baden, but led his troops to help Gates after the battle started. The Corps contained the enemy reinforcements and played a humble supporting role.
Vassar is not without capacity for people, but his years of experience working with General Gates tells him that even if he can accommodate Gates, the other party will not be willing to succumb to himself.
