It's hard to be sure without more context but I will guess that there was some discussion of what kind of man the general is and the speaker, by way of disagreeing, makes this comment. He means that he sees the general differently that he has described himself or as others have described him.

My estimate of your character is not the same as what you have been showing, General.
I believe that you are not exactly as you appear or as you would like to appear.

Yes, but it could also be: You are different than him. John is a hard worker. I take you for a different sort.
