Chapter 2825 Apostasy

Facing John Andre's sharp questioning, Laval remained silent, but his facial muscles twitched violently due to the extreme pain in his heart.

"Of course George Vassar knew it well, but did he deal with it fairly and return you the honor that should belong to you?"

Andre then threw out a series of questions.

"Unfortunately, instead of clarifying the truth and delivering justice, he deprived you of the honor you deserved and used it to paint Charles Gates as a hero with a halo on his head. Is this true? "

"So what happens afterward? A fake is a fake. No matter how gorgeously packaged a mediocre person is, he can't become a real hero."

"After the Battle of Port-Prince, Gates' reputation was ruined. This paper hero leaked his stuff and killed more than 20,000 soldiers of the Continental Army. May I ask George Vassar, as the commander-in-chief, is he not responsible?"

"Because of his injustice, a veritable mediocrity like Gates was exalted on the altar, which planted the seeds of disaster in the future, and at the same time buried your real hero who can fight hard, George Watts. Sa can hardly escape the blame, but did he say sorry to you?"

"I'm afraid not?"

"Honestly speaking, if the Continental Congress had appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army instead of electing a slick politician like George Vassar who has no fighting skills and can only fight with mud, we, the real people of Fei, would have been kicked out a long time ago. There is a new continent, how can we still have the scenery we have today?"

"You may not believe it, but I personally appreciate the spirit advocated by the "Declaration of Independence". Unfortunately, the Continental Congress that proposed the "Declaration of Independence" was full of duplicity and hypocrites. This is reflected in the treatment of black slaves. Especially obvious, extremely ironic!"

"Just because you have too many hypocrites like Jeffersons and Vassars in your leadership, shameless politicians, and people with real talents like you, Your Excellency, are buried, so your career will go astray and you are doomed to fail. !"

"I've said all I want to say, sir, is there anything else you want to say?"

Every word of John Andre's sharp attack pierced Laval's heart like a huge stone, stirring up a stormy sea in his heart.

After a long silence, Laval finally nodded dejectedly.

"Forget it, Colonel Andre... just do as you say!"

...

In the midsummer of August, the setting sun is slanting to the west, there is no wind in the sultry forest, and the monotonous singing of cicadas on the trees makes people drowsy.

Patrick Ferguson was wearing a camouflage cloak and was prostrate on a bushy hill. The magic ring on his left ring finger had been activated, allowing him to continue to be protected by the "advanced invisibility technique".

Ferguson has been lying in ambush all afternoon in the bushes, which are suitable for hiding and monitoring the road below the mountain. His old buddy who has been with him for many years, the mythical sniper rifle "Southern Cross", set up a suitable angle to ensure that the guns fired Bullets were able to accurately hit any target within Ferguson's field of vision.

On the opposite side of the hill is a dense forest. Ferguson's partner John Andre is hidden in one of the big trees. He also uses the "advanced invisibility technique" to protect his body, but his posture is very relaxed: his legs are crossed and he is leaning against the tree. on a branch, the left hand is resting on the back of the head, and the right hand is fiddling with a gold shell pocket watch, as if waiting for a lover to come to a tryst

The hour hand on the pocket watch has pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the agreed time is coming.

Last night, John Andre finally managed to persuade Benedict Laval to write a sincere invitation letter to George Vassar, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, according to his instructions.

In this letter, Laval first spent a lot of time analyzing the grim situation facing the Continental Army, expressing his worries about the prospect of the independent revolution, and then proposed some positive measures on how to break the predicament for the reference of the Commander-in-Chief.

Next, Laval changed his pen and admitted that he had made a serious mistake and was not qualified to write to the commander-in-chief for advice.

Fortunately, the peaceful life in the small town healed the pain in his heart, and also calmed down the restless and paranoid emotions. He deeply reflected on his past words and deeds, and realized that he was wrong in claiming to be aristocratic, arrogant, and unable to communicate with the lower class. The soldiers mingle together, lack due respect for their superiors, and even openly question the incompetence of the Commander-in-Chief, it is so arrogant!

Recalling all the reckless words and deeds in the past, Laval was deeply ashamed in the letter, and said that the situation in Alfheim was even more embarrassing for him. General Green was alone, and the commander-in-chief needed to provide more support for the compatriots in the south. .

It was very rare for Laval, the general of the northern faction, to say these words. John Andre predicted that George Vasar would be deeply moved, and then change his view of Laval.

At the end of this letter, Laval invited His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to come to his home for a dinner tomorrow night to discuss in depth the prospects of the War of Independence. Let him pass, and give him another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

After the letter was sent, as Andre predicted, George Vassar wrote back in person that evening, showing sincere emotion between the lines.

In fact, Vassar has always admired Laval's military command ability very much, and he has taken the initiative to express goodwill many times before, trying to establish a friendship with Laval.

Unfortunately, as Laval himself confessed in his letter, he is too arrogant, too arrogant, too paranoid, and believes that Vasa has robbed him of the throne of commander-in-chief. No matter how friendly Vasa is to him, he just looks down on him. People, regard good intentions as hypocritical flattery or even ulterior motives to buy, dismissive.

For his attitude, George Vassar was also very helpless. Thanks to his open-mindedness and tolerance, it would be no wonder if a new leader didn't make Laval die!

Today, the senior officer class of the Continental Army is facing the embarrassing situation of being outnumbered.

Charles Gates was ruined in the Battle of Prince Port and became a prisoner; Isaac Hook defected to the enemy and treasoned; Nathaniel Green and the Zion siblings hurried south to fight the fire, and the generals in the Continental Army Command who can still be alone... …that leaves only one Magny Powhatan.

"Crazy" Magny is undoubtedly a brave man, but this dude has two weaknesses.

One is that it is too brave.

Magny's style is like his nickname, the string in his mind is sometimes not working, which is very worrying.

The second is that Magni’s background is not very good. He comes from the Asa tribe in the Algonquin Valley, and his soldiers are also aboriginal. A deep septum is present.
