If the overseas-trained Asa Corps returned and performed outstandingly on the battlefield, they could turn the tide and defeat the unbeatable Fiji's true regular army. This would certainly save the independence revolution, but it would also reflect the incompetence of the Continental Army.
The gentlemen of the Continental Congress, and most of the senior generals of the Continental Army including George Vassar, all they care about is winning the battle, only expelling the invaders.
As for the way to win, relying on one's own strength, foreign friends or indigenous people to help achieve the goal, it is nothing more than a matter of face and it is not important.
But Laval, who has a stubborn personality, is different, he can't get through this hurdle in his heart.
If in the end he has to rely on his most hated Asa people, his mother-killing enemies to win the war and realize the revolutionary ideals, then...he would rather give up this ideal!
It seemed that a demon was whispering in his ears, making him uneasy.
Rather than watching my enemy become the savior and being forced to thank the natives and admit that they are an indispensable pillar of the independent revolution, I...Benedict Laval, I would rather sell my ideals and souls. Rather than curse the independence revolution for complete failure!
Join the Royal Party and bow down to King George; or sing praises to the Asa people against their will-if the two must choose one, Lavarnin can choose the former!
He would rather let the real man Fei rule the New World than just watch the aboriginal people rise up again in this land and show off their power!
Once this self-defeating thought took root in his heart, it sprouts and grows rapidly, and the branches are luxuriant, casting a lingering shadow in Laval's heart.
By now, Laval was desperate for the prospect of an independent revolution, and in the period when his spirit was most empty, two strangers suddenly came to visit.
The two uninvited guests were headed by Colonel John Andre, who was in charge of the espionage work of Feizhen's military, and his partner, the first sharpshooter in Feizhen's army, known as the "Tap King", Colonel Patrick Ferguson.
The reason why these two young and promising Feizhen officers ventured into the territory of the Continental Army was responsible for two secret missions. One was to find opportunities to kidnap or assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Vassar, and the other was to persuade. The deposed Benedict Laval changed the door.
Several of Laval’s old men had already joined the Fijian camp. Through their matchmaking, Andre and Ferguson learned that Laval was recuperating in a mountain town in the northern part of the Forge Valley, so they disguised and sneaked into the Continental Army’s control area and visited. General Laval at his leisure.
John André is an excellent "lobbyist". He fully understood Laval's arrogant and paranoid character before he arrived. He knew that people like him eat soft or hard, and most hate diplomatic rhetoric that is tricky. After meeting Just put on a frank posture and truthfully express your intentions.
As early as half a month ago, Laval received a joint letter from his subordinates. He had a good chance to lead his troops to join the enemy. However, he still had a glimmer of hope for the victory of the independent revolution, and he was unwilling to bear the traitor. After repeated hesitation, he gave up the opportunity to defect.
Afterwards, he was embarrassed, seized military power, and was distributed to a remote town in a poor country. In fact, I regretted it in private.
Andre and Ferguson came to visit and brought him an enthusiastic letter from Earl Winthrop, and gave him another chance to change the door.
It stands to reason that Laval should make up his mind and join the Feizhen camp. Maybe he still has a chance to be reused and make a contribution on the battlefield.
However, the general with a complicated personality hesitated again.
At the first meeting, although Colonel André showed the utmost enthusiasm and sincerity, Laval was not moved. Hearing his intentions, he stood up coldly to see off the guests, and returned the Earl's letter together with him.
Based on the principle of knighthood, Laval hated whistleblowing the most in his life. He didn't betray his subordinates who were trying to defect, and now he doesn't want to reveal the visit of Andre and Ferguson to his immediate boss George Vassar, just warning them to leave as soon as possible. Don't make trouble.
Andre and Ferguson's first visit, sturdily hit the nail, but the two were not discouraged, and they visited again soon after a short while.
This time, Laval still didn't change his mind, he impatiently gave an eviction order, and clearly warned Andre and Ferguson that they were not welcome here, and he would not come again in the future.
Laval did not expect that these two annoying guests had left within an hour and turned back again. There was also a bruised and swollen fellow beside him, who was the guard Spike who had followed Laval for many years!
"Your Excellency, we didn't mean to offend you. There is really an important matter, and we have to rush back overnight to report to you."
Andre turned his head and glanced at the guard who was beaten by Ferguson's fat and escorted him back, and smiled helplessly.
"Your Excellency, Patrick and I said goodbye to you. We found that we were being followed not far away. For safety reasons, we separated and blocked the stalker in the woods and asked him what he wanted to do."
"That guy was guilty of a guilty conscience, he ran away, and was finally overtaken by us. He found out that it was your guard, and thought he was appointed by you to follow us secretly."
"It's not my order!" Laval's face was gloomy.
"Your Excellency is acting upright. We believe your words, but there is another question. Your guard did not get your order, why follow us?"
Andre shrugged and spread his hands.
"Your Excellency, your guard seems to be suspicious of the identities of John and me. If you didn't reveal it, who else could it be?"
Patrick is not as well-worded as his partner, with a strong smell of gunpowder in his words.
"I swear by my reputation, I will never reveal your identity to anyone!" Laval said angrily.
"That's weird. Why are your guards following us well?" Patrick asked coldly, "I don't want to be boring, or see me and John not pleasing to the eye, so I followed up on my own terms?"
"Give me a few minutes and talk to him alone."
Laval winked, took the guard to the next room, and came back alone after a while, his grievances hard to hide on his face.
"Two gentlemen, I'm sorry, the matter has been clarified. Spike is under a secret order from the headquarters to secretly monitor strangers who come and go with me, and report to them when he finds suspicious people."
"In other words, George Vassar does not trust you at all. He not only deprived you of your command, he sent you to spend your time in this small town, but also bought your guards, planted your eyes around you, and monitored your every move. "Andre sighed, "In this way, Patrick and I have been exposed, and there will be a large group of people coming to arrest us, right?"
