Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1727

After Paisley finished cooking, they sat down with Nathan for dinner.

Garrett opened a bottle of wine from his collection and drank with Nathan.

They enjoyed each other's company due to their like-mindedness.

As they chatted, they slowly got to the topic of current affairs.

Garrett asked, “General—”

Nathan interrupted with a smile, “Mr. Woods, since we hit it off so well, let's not stand on ceremony; we should change our form of address.”

Garrett had the same intention so he immediately agreed. “Sure. I shall call you by your first name, Nathan, then.”

“I'll call you Garrett,” Nathan replied with a smile.

Chuckling, Garrett toasted Nathan and then asked, “Nathan, now that the President is about to stand down, what do you think about it?”

“Mr. Windsor just talked to me today and said that my promotion to the Cabinet has failed,” Nathan replied calmly, “In addition, he said that Clifford is still the frontrunner for the next presidency. Mr. Windsor plans to support Zion so that the latter can compete with Clifford.”

Garrett nodded. “The President's candidate is good. Zion is experienced and prudent.”

Nathan glanced at Garrett. “Is this really what you think, Garrett?”

Seeing that there were only Nathan and his family around and the Captain of National Guards was outside, Garrett replied, lowering his voice slightly, “Zion is experienced and prudent, but he's conservative and lacks boldness.

Moreover, there has never been a precedent for people from the same faction to be President for two consecutive terms. I'm afraid the chance is slim for Zion to win the presidential race.”

“Yes, I share the same opinion as you,” Nathan agreed calmly.

“Since you also think that Zion can't compete with Clifford, why don't you talk the President out of it?” Garrett could not help but ask.

Nathan gave him a wry smile. “Mr. Windsor has made up his mind, so there's no way I could change it. He won't give up before he tries.”
