Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1966

Sherman broke into a cackle at Nathan's remarks.

“Who the hell do you think you are to determine whether my father lives or dies?

“You're not even the General of the North right now. Even if you are, dictating his life and death is way beyond your league.

“Only the President himself has the power to exterminate my father. Well, if we want to consider every single possibility, then maybe the legendary Chief Military Governor holds the same authority.

“As for you, who the hell do you think you are, exactly?”

Nathan could not help but grin. “And I thought you guys were fearless.

“So you guys do live in fear of the President, and me.

Sherman was stumped.

He scoffed, “The President is the de facto leader of our nation. It goes without question that we respect the man.

“As for the Chief Military Governor, he has led the North and defeated hundreds and thousands of Xyperian men. There is no doubt that we revere the man too.

“But I couldn't say the same for you!"

Nathan grinned again. “I just heard you mention that you were afraid of the President and me!”

Sherman refuted the man subconsciously, “I was talking about the President and the Chief Military Governor...”

He finally came to a startling revelation before he finished his sentence.

Bewildered, he widened his eyes at Nathan and croaked, “What did you just say? Are you saying that you're the Chief Military Governor?”

“Why? Do you think the title doesn't befit me, or do you think I don't look like a Chief Military Governor?”

Sherman was flabbergasted and reprimanded, “Nonsense! How can you be the Chief Military Governor?

“Who doesn't know the fact that you've offended Clifford Davier and that the Cabinet has actually terminated you. You're just a mere paper tiger.

“The Chief Military Governor is a formidable man who leads Eurasia to triumph over other nations. Unlike you, he's on a crest of a wave right now.

“How dare a loser like you impersonate the great man?”

Meanwhile, in the house.
