Mage Joan

Thinking of Metatron, Qiao Ann remembered that he had agreed with her a few days ago that he exchanged her "Higher Transformation" for her Tier 9 ability "Higher Mind Exchange".

Just after a fiasco, Princess Ling Su seems to be in a bad mood, and Qiao An feels it is not suitable to disturb her now. In a few days, when her mood improves and she has mastered the "advanced hypermorphic changes", she will return to Oedis and find her to complete the transaction.

...

In the next few days, in addition to studying magic and psychic powers, Qiao An also spared more energy to pay attention to the progress of the war in the southern part of the New World.

Regarding the "War of Independence" in which the New World is in full swing, Qiao An feels that neither good nor evil can be used to define the warring parties.

The revolutionaries called for getting rid of colonial oppression from the suzerainty and fighting for independence and freedom. It is indeed justice. The Fijian side announced the abolition of the slavery system in the New World and encouraged black slaves to flee the plantation and go to freedom. Isn't it just a good act?

Both sides have a righteous side and both have an unrighteous side. When the two conflicts, which side to choose is more in line with the principle of upholding justice?

Is "justice" a quantifiable indicator?

Is there a general algorithm to estimate and quantify the degree of good and evil in all words and deeds in the world, a positive number represents goodness and a negative number represents evil, and then all the indicators are summed, and a positive number is statistically "justice". A negative number is statistically "injustice"?

Unfortunately, this ideal model for studying social issues is currently unrealistic. A standard is needed for evaluating the good and evil of behavior, and this standard itself must be evaluated first to ensure that it is absolutely fair and obvious. , This became a paradox of trying to grab one's own hair and fly into the sky.

Taking a step back, even if a set of absolutely objective and fair value standards can be obtained, who can guarantee that the value judgments based on this set of standards will still apply in the future? It is not uncommon for the current good deeds based on kindness to do more harm than good in the long run.

If one admits that there is no absolutely fair standard of good and evil, people can only temporarily set aside those unrealistic ideals and return to the perspective of realism to look at the world. Under the situation where it is impossible to clearly judge the right and wrong of the conflicting parties, a conscience The survivors have only two options.

The negative stance is to stay out of the matter and don't help each other.

I will help whoever treats me positively.

Despite his unwillingness, Qiao Ann can only take this slightly vulgar stance on the War of Independence.

His principle is that unless his own vital interests or the safety of relatives and friends are threatened, try not to interfere.

Qiao An has been adhering to the above-mentioned principles for the past two years. However, when the time came to late September 1627, even his self-proclaimed calm and restrained rationalist was a little bit nervous, and his mentality was really about to collapse!

No way, from the beginning of the Feizhen army's southward expedition to Alfheim this spring, Qiao An couldn't help worrying about the safety of his hometown.

Initially, he counted on General Charles Gates, father of his old classmate Edward, to reproduce the glorious victory of the "Badden Victory" in Prince Port and smash the ambition of the Earl of Winthrop to invade south.

As a result, he was greatly disappointed. In the Battle of Prince Port, General Gates's heroic aura faded and he was defeated.

After that, Qiao An also comforted herself to be calm, winning or losing is commonplace in the military, but a momentary defeat will arouse the sense of resistance of the compatriots in his hometown.

It doesn't matter if Prince Port falls. We still have the southern capital of Leiden, and we can defend against the enemy beyond the city gates.

As long as the leaders of the Continental Congress stand up and call on the militias everywhere to launch guerrilla warfare and force the invaders into the vast ocean of people's war, one day they will be able to drag the enemy down and roll out of Alfheim.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

The defense of Leiden was not as good as Prince Port. The chairman of the municipal council, Mr. Jefferson, only managed to escape for his life, and did not lead the military and civilian organizations to resist. Feizhen's army took Leiden without any effort.

After learning the bad news, Qiao An could barely comfort him to keep calm.

The situation in the South is indeed very difficult, but looking at the overall situation of the battlefield from another angle, the greater the pressure the South bears, does it mean that the less pressure the Continental Army faces in the North, the easier it is to find opportunities to launch a counterattack?

As Lord Winthrop brought the main force to the south, the defense of the north was empty. George Vassar, who was stationed in Forge Valley, should take the initiative and besieged the Clinton Corps guarding Freeport, forcing the Earl of Winthrop to return. The division rescued, and then helped the southern compatriots to relieve the pressure.

The tactics that Qiao An could think of were of course also thought of by the professional officers in the Continental Army Command.

In fact, General Vassar did have such a combat plan at the desk at the time, but unfortunately it had not had time to implement it, and the Valley of Forge was turbulent again.

First, a wave of anti-revolutionary campaigns was launched to report and expose cultists within the army, which caused everyone to be at risk.

Many officers later defected. What is even more shocking is that Benedict Laval, the chief of staff of the Continental Army and the famous Midgard general, was also involved. He also conspired with Feizhen's spy and tried to assassinate the commander-in-chief. George Vassar finally embarked on a road of no return to defecting to the enemy.

After this tossing, the Continental Army's vitality was greatly injured. What's more, it missed the best time to launch a counterattack, and had to continue to retreat in the valley for passive defense. At the same time, the situation in the south had deteriorated to a dangerous situation.

At the beginning of July 1627, General Green returned to his hometown of Alfheim. The top priority was to get in touch with the southern cities, towns and villages, recruit new soldiers, raise supplies, and rebuild the Southern Corps of the Continental Army.

Initially, General Green's work was not smooth.

At that time, Leiden had just fallen. People everywhere in Alfheim were hit hard, everyone was in danger, and the argument of surrender was rampant. Many gentry and celebrities and estate owners joined the royalist party in private, or through the royalist party. Relatives and friends of Fei show their kindness to the powerful and powerful, and prepare a way out for themselves and their family.

In this atmosphere, General Green, who insists on fighting the invaders, has become a dangerous element in the eyes of many relatives and friends. A guy who "does not know the current affairs", fearing to get involved with Green and anger the real man, how can he be willing to pay? Help him rebuild the army.

In the first two weeks of returning to Alfheim, General Green was struggling. In a letter to his old friend and boss, General Vassar, he couldn't help complaining about the selfishness and short-sightedness of his hometown compatriots.

General Vassar himself was born in the South. He sympathized with General Green's cold reception in his hometown, but he was helpless. He could only encourage his old friends to persevere until the goddess of destiny took pity and led him out of the predicament.
