Chapter 2747 Establishing Diplomatic Relations

"Let's look back at the military history of the Vales world. Some of the prominent generals in history have won battles all their lives and won countless feats. However, as long as they lose once, they will be devastated and end up in the end."

"Obviously, George Vassar is not the kind of famous general who can predict the enemy's opportunity and win every battle, but his troops can be defeated repeatedly, and the more frustrated they are, the more courageous they are. In my opinion, this kind of strong and stable Resilience is the embodiment of the commander's ability."

"Charles Gates and Benedict Laval may be better than George Vassar in terms of specific formation and command, but when it comes to taking the overall situation into consideration, uniting all factions and balancing the interests of all parties, Compassionate to the soldiers and stable morale, the two of them together can't compare to a George Vassar."

"As long as George Vassar is in charge, the Continental Army will have the backbone. Temporary defeat at the tactical level will not affect the overall situation. Although the road to independence is difficult and tortuous, we can see a bright future in the dark."

"Conversely, if Vasa falls and Gates or Laval is replaced as commander-in-chief, the future of the Continental Army is uncertain!"

After listening to Viglaf's incisive analysis of the leadership of the Continental Army, Qiao An's doubts dissipated, and he followed Wiglaf's thinking and continued to deduce.

"Your Majesty, let's make an analogy. Suppose there are two generals under your command. The first general has 60% chance of defeating the enemy, but if he misses, the whole army will be wiped out; the second general is only 30% sure of defeating the enemy." If you win the battle, but even if you lose the battle, the loss of the troops will not hurt the bones, which general will you send to the front as the commander?"

Roland smiled knowingly.

"Dr. Vader, this issue cannot be generalized, it must be analyzed according to the specific situation."

"If this battle is our best chance, and the longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be, then I will send the first general out to seek a decisive battle. Taking advantage of the greater chance of winning now, go all out and fight for a quick victory! "

"But if time is more beneficial to us, the longer the war lasts, the greater the chance of winning. Of course I will choose the second general, and I will focus on stability. It doesn't matter if I lose the battle. Existence is victory, as long as I can drag the enemy down in the end." .”

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, in the war for the independence of the colonies, is the time on the side of the Continental Army, or is it more beneficial to the people of Fiji?" Wiglaf asked without losing the opportunity.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it will be to the Continental Army." Roland said frankly with a smile, "Well, Wiglaf, Dr. Vader, I have to admit that I was successfully persuaded by you, and I will meet you tomorrow morning Arrange a meeting and chat with Mr. Franklin."

"If the representatives of the Continental Congress are to count on an open alliance with our country, one of the preconditions is to secure George Vassar's unassailable command of the Continental Army."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Joan and Viglaf looked at each other and smiled, each showing a sense of relief in their eyes.

...

General Viglaf returned from the Forge Valley to Korrasberg, and reported his visit to His Majesty the Emperor. Just three days later, on March 28, 1627, the Korrasberg authorities publicly recognized the "Wilnoa Republic". Legal status, and formally concluded diplomatic relations with the provisional government of the Republic, the "Continental Congress".

The old man Franklin, who stayed in Fort Couras for nearly half a year, finally survived to the day when all the hardships came to an end. He happily moved his office from the "Friendly House" hotel to the embassy that he rented yesterday, and ordered a batch of new ones urgently. The business card is properly printed with the title of ambassador.

The Kingdom of Canaan, a staunch ally of the Kolas Empire, has always taken a wait-and-see attitude towards the War of Independence in the New World, and in principle should not be an "early bird".

But when their allies first jumped out to play the role of "the first bird", the Canaanites responded very quickly. On the morning of March 29th, the second day after the Kolas Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Continental Congress, The authorities of Bethlehem followed suit, and the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Cabinet publicly announced the conclusion of an alliance with the Republic of Wilnoa.

In terms of foreign policy towards the New World, the Canaan authorities gave the outside world the impression of being a "low-key follower". They did not take the lead, but followed their Far East allies step by step. Most of the pressure was borne by their allies, and they just took a ride. , the benefits obtained are not as many as those of allies, but the risks taken are also smaller.

This impression applies to Canaan's official position, but as far as the people are concerned, the Canaanites' support for the Continental Congress and the Continental Army is actually more active than the Far Easterners.

So far, the help provided by the Far East authorities to the revolutionaries in the New World mainly consisted of issuing "independent bonds" and selling military supplies, and the support of the people for the revolutionaries on the other side of the ocean was only verbal sympathy.

If you don’t count General Viglaf, who served as an instructor of the Continental Army for a short time, the number of Far Easterners who really prepared their own dry food and weapons to join the Continental Army was so small that it could be ignored.

In contrast, in the past year, mercenaries and adventurers from Canaan have successively traveled to the New World to join the Continental Army as volunteers. The two most eye-catching ones are Audrey and Hall Brother and sister, both are members of the distinguished royal family.

The Zion siblings served in the headquarters of General Vasa, and performed well in the battles of guarding Freeport and Forge Valley, and won the respect of the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army.

The improvised government of the Continental Congress, although it is very hip in other aspects, is lacking in nothing. It is not short of "pens". The article can be written, so the sisters and brothers were praised in various reports, calling them "the conscience of Canaan" and "heroes of the two worlds".

This set of publicity rhetoric is indeed exaggerated, but I have to say that the external publicity effect is surprisingly good!

Especially in Canaan, many veterans saw the active figures of Audrey and Holden on the battlefield in the New World through the newspapers. The old rifle who was born and died, gathered like-minded old comrades, organized a group to go to the New World, and volunteered to contribute to the cause of liberation of the colonial people.

These Canaanite volunteers who were inspired by the Zion sisters came to Forge Valley and went to the recruiter and made the same request:

"We have our own rifles and war horses, and the commission is also negotiable. The only condition is to follow our princess!"
