Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1730

Clifford roughly got the idea, but he still asked, “Care to explain?”

“We found that Nathan's weakness is his family, which is his wife and daughter. If we want to deal with him, we have to start with his wife and daughter. But he's with his family now, so we can't do anything just yet,” said Ceaser, smiling.

“So the diversion you mentioned is to lure Nathan away first, such as instructing him to return to the North to defend against the enemy?” asked Clifford.

“That's right! Dad, you're now the most senior member of the Cabinet. You can command Nathan to return to the North in the name of the cabinet. The Goldstein family will then take the opportunity to deal with his family. When he's blinded by rage, it is inevitable that he will make some stupid mistakes. So, Dad, when the time comes, you'll use his mistakes against him. In the name of the cabinet, you will remove him from his position, expel him from the military, and take him down completely.”

Clifford hesitated. “Is it worth it to go to such great lengths just to rid him of his wife and daughter?”

Ceaser said with conviction, “Of course it is! Dad, you may have overlooked the value of Penny Smith. She's the chairman of the largest pharmaceutical company in the country and sits on hundreds of billions of assets. If we get rid of her, we can not only hit Nathan's weak spot but also use the opportunity to take over Cross Group and enrich our funds. When you run for president, you won't have to worry about campaign funding at all.”

After learning of the benefits, Clifford finally made up his mind and laughed. “It turns out that, Leaser, your plan will not only kill Nathan but also get us a lot of money. You're killing two birds with one stone! Alright, let's do it. Go back and tell the Goldsteins that I'll transfer Nathan back to the North, and you can go ahead and deal with Penny with ease.”

Leaser stood up and said excitedly, “Yes, Dad!”

Two days later, Penny was finally discharged from the hospital, but Brimmopolis remained a place that saddened her.

She didn't want to stay in Brimmopolis anymore; she just wanted to go home with Nathan.

She missed her parents and her daughter, Queenie.

After this tribulation, she now cared more about her family and simply wanted to live a safe and peaceful life with them.

Nathan's original plan was to return to Channing with Penny.
