It would hardly surprise me if that were the case. In fact, I would go so far to say that General Armstrong shares one of the weaknesses of your predecessor, Ambassador Revan.
I knew him, you see... before his departure. He was always a soldier before he was a politician. More at home fighting the Soviets than treating with the government. Armstrong is the same way, but she has been forced into the role of police. She acts as though to redefine her role to suit her experience, rather than the other way around.
Such an act may be her ultimate undoing. We need these military leaders in this world to fight the war at hand and fight the other battles we will surely face. But they both attempted to take on roles that are ill-suited to them. And while we will not have the opportunity with Revan unless he returns, perhaps Armstrong may be redirected toward a better path? One that better suits the scope of our plans.
A path which leads away from command of the team she founded? It may prove difficult to make her walk such a trail, m'lord. And General Armstrong is not someone to antagonize lightly.
She would have to be offered something like a promotion... an advancement beyond her current status, I think.
Yes, naturally. Her pride would demand no less. Though such a thing wouldn't be terribly difficult. It does not take much to be above policing. Nearly anything in the military sense would be a promotion.
But such a thing can be discussed at a later point. I greatly look forward to working with you on this matter, Count Dooku. I truly do believe we can accomplish a great many things together.
As do I. I will also look forward to our shared accomplishments... And I will be sure to tell my supporters that Ambassador Baelish is a gracious victor and a forward-looking leader.
