6 《小王子》第十章中自己的一处疑问

If I ordered a general to fly from one flower to another like a butterfly, or to write a tragic drama, or to change himself into a sea bird, and if the general did not carry out the order that he had received, which one of us would be in the wrong?“ the king demanded. “The general, or myself?”

这里两个if从句都是虚拟语气主句也是虚拟语气，if the general did not carry out the order that he had received, 这里order的定语从句 he had received我认为直接一般现在时就可以，为什么用现在时因为我认为阐述眼前的事实就是用一般现在时。而且这里过去时表示与现在事实的相反，这里定语从句用一般现在时我认为是对的。
