Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1879

“General!”

“I can't believe it's actually the General!”

“Sir, the fact that we can still work under your leadership even after you've become the Chief Military Governor is great news!”

Fang was rather emotional when he made that remark.

“It is all thanks to the President's faith. He's the one who recommended me to this new position.” Nathan smiled along with delight.

“Back at the Cabinet headquarters, I suspected that it was you. I can't believe that my assumptions were correct!” Fang said.

“But General, why did you conceal your identity

when the President has already appointed you as the Chief Military Governor?” Destroyer asked in a hushed tone curiously.

“Yeah, why did you do that?” Heptakill added in; he was confused, too.

“Because there was too much opposition against me,” Nathan answered with a faint smile.

“Since President Woods is new to the position, difficult for him to suggest any reforms.

Additionally, many members of the Great Cabinet hold personal grudges against me. If they discover my true identity, I'm sure they'll be dead against me. This leaves President Woods with no other choice. I have to hide my identity and become a mysterious figure: no one can know that I am the new Chief Military Governor.”

Realization dawned upon Fang and the others.

“If the President forbids you from leaking this secret,” Fang asked hesitantly, “why are you telling us about it?”

“I regard everyone here as my sworn brothers,” Nathan replied with a warm beam. “There is no reason for me to distrust you. Furthermore, the North Army will declare war against Xyperia soon. It is only right that I am honest with my comrades. This will strengthen our bond when we fight against the enemy.”

Fang felt extremely touched. To be acknowledged as a faithful brother of the General was the highest honor he could receive.

“Please rest assured, General. Even with our lives at stake, we will carry your secret to the grave.” Fang promised sincerely with a determined glimmer in his eyes.

Nathan laughed heartily upon hearing Fang's pledge. “That won't be necessary. If you are threatened by a knife to the neck, you should just spill it. I do not wish to lose my brothers over such a small issue.”

Everyone burst into laughter at his words.

Nathan and the men proceeded to discuss the situation between the North Army and Xyperia.
