Mage Joan

As early as the Ashen Empire was a colony, Gates was Vassar’s immediate boss. Later, the Continental Congress elected Vassar to the post of commander-in-chief. Gates was very unconvinced. Now that he returns with honour, Vassar has to worry that Gates is proud of himself. , The mentality swelled, I am afraid that in the future, I am more impatient to listen to his commander in chief.

In addition to worrying about his position being challenged by General Gates, Vassar also regretted the situation of General Laval.

In fact, the first-line officers and soldiers who personally participated in the "Great Victory of Baden" all believed that Benedict Laval should be the prime minister of the battle. However, Gates was the nominal supreme commander of the battle after all, and he took charge of it himself. For all the honor, but kicked Laval away, it looks really ugly.

Vassar disagrees with this, but out of consideration for the overall situation, he is not good to criticize General Gates face to face for taking the credit of others as his own.

General Gates himself didn't think he owed Laval anything. He was already very popular in the Continental Congress. This is even more remarkable. People everywhere regard him as a "great savior". His prestige is as high as the sun, let alone a small one. Laval, even the Commander-in-Chief George Vassar, he did not take it seriously.

Vassar is Gates' immediate boss. It stands to reason that the victory of the Battle of Baden should be presented to Vassar first, and then passed to the Continental Congress by Vassar.

But Gates bypassed Vassar and directly reported to the Continental Congress, obviously not taking Vassar as the Commander-in-Chief seriously.

Gates dared to blatantly despise the commander-in-chief. In addition to the aura of the "Badden Victory", the support of some representatives of the Continental Congress also gave him the confidence to challenge Vassar's authority.

The War of Independence has been fought for a whole year, and George Vassar, as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, has no record of success.

Under his command, the Continental Army lost the city of Midgard and then Freeport, forcing the Continental Congress to flee all the way south, and was ridiculed by observers at home and abroad as a "junk meeting", "escape from the government", and the Continental Congress. Of course, the delegates were not happy, and quite a few people tried to change the top commander of the Continental Army.

There is only one commander-in-chief. Now, there is Charles Gates, who is famous on one side, and George Vassar, who has won many battles on the other. Isn’t it clear who is more competent?

When the time came in the spring of 1627, the call for the replacement of the commander-in-chief within the Continental Congress became louder and louder. The wind reached the Forge Valley, and Vigraf had also heard of it.

"Your Majesty, the Continental Congress has not reached a conclusion on the question of who is more suitable for the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army with regard to Vassar and Gates. Judging from the current momentum, General Vassar is obviously a disadvantage. Without the intervention of external forces, The possibility of being replaced is very high."

Roland smiled slightly and understood Vigraf's implication.

"You want me to come forward and speak to the Continental Congress for General Vassar to keep his position as commander-in-chief?"

"Vegraf, I can do this, but there must be a good reason. In addition to the good character of General Vassar, is there any advantage in his job compared to General Gates?"

"Your Majesty, Charles Gates can only be regarded as a competent general, but George Vassar... is a rare handsome talent!"

Vigraf made a serious affirmation.

"Handsome?" Roland raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Viglav, I know that you are not the kind of personality that easily praises others. Since you have made such a high evaluation of George Vassar, there must be good reasons. "

"Your Majesty, first of all I have to admit that George Vassar's command style is too conservative and lacks impressive creativity. As a general, he is mediocre, but he has the potential to become an outstanding commander."

Roland nodded with a smile, and motioned to Vigraf to continue explaining why he was optimistic about George Vassar.

"General Vassar has a noble character and loves soldiers like his son. He is willing to share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates. He is loved by the grassroots officers and soldiers. This is an indispensable character for an outstanding commander."

"Secondly, General Vassar can also do well in knowing people and putting talented people in the right position. For example, assigning General Green to manage military supplies and logistics, as well as boldly appointing me, a foreigner, to help him train."

"In addition, General Vassar is quite tolerant, focusing on the overall situation, and will not harm the collective interests of the Continental Army in order to win personal honor."

"The attitude of General Vassar towards Charles Gates fully reflects his overall view and broad-mindedness."

"Your Majesty, if you think about it, if George Vassar is a selfish and vain person, when General Gates led his troops to besiege Feizhen's Fourth Infantry Division in the Baden Wetlands, people with a discerning eye could see that this was the most outstanding achievement. Good time."

"As the commander-in-chief, Vassar was completely able to ask the army mage to perform teleportation and teleport to the front of Baden in person. It is fair to say that he obeyed Gates to take over the command and harvest the fruits of victory."

"But he didn't do that. Instead, he took the initiative to take up a thankless task to help Gates contain the enemy reinforcements so that Gates could stand in the center of the stage and perform. This made the highlight moment of Baden's victory. To play an inconspicuous but very hard supporting role, such a mind, does Gates have it?"

"From my personal experience in Forge Valley, Gates lacked the most basic respect for his immediate superiors. He often bypassed Vassar and negotiated directly with the Continental Congress. Rampant characters, compared with Vassar, who takes care of the overall situation and is tolerant of Gates, who looks more commanding is self-evident."

"General Vigraf's analysis is very thorough, and he said what I want to say." Qiao An interjected.

Vigraf cast a grateful look at him, but Qiao An was puzzled by what he said next.

"Dr. Vader, during this time in Forge Valley, I took the time to collect and sort out General Vassar’s past battles, and came to the conclusion that this man is not the kind of brilliantly calculated and surprisingly successful general, but he also has an outstanding point. -Very good at defeating wars!"

"Good at... defeating the war?" Qiao An couldn't help being surprised.

He has known Vassar for many years, and his feelings are as deep as his brothers. Of course, he would like to hear Vigraf's words in front of His Majesty. But Vigraf praised Vassar from the perspective of "defeating the war". Unexpected.

"Yes, Dr. Vader, don't underestimate defeat. This is also a profound knowledge!"

Vigraf solemnly emphasized.

"The same is a defeat. Some people will be defeated once they are defeated, and there will be no strength to recover; some people can stabilize their positions, lose without chaos, maintain morale, and retreat calmly and orderly, and preserve the vitality of the troops to the greatest extent- This is the gap between whether you will be defeated!"The latest chapter address of Master Qiao An: https://www.wuxiaspot.com /book/102085.htmlReading address of Master Qiao’s article: https://www.wuxiaspot.com/read/102085/ Master Qiao An txt download address: https://www.wuxiaspot.com/down/102085.htmlMage Qiao An mobile phone reading: https://m.wuxiaspot.com/read/102085/For the convenience of reading next time, you can click "Favorites" below to record this (Chapter 2746 Shuai Cai) reading record, and you can see it next time you open the bookshelf!
