Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3664

The expressions on everyone's faces were complex, and the entire room fell into silence. They all knew that the words spoken by Nathan were nothing but the truth.

In order to completely eliminate the threat of Gods, Nathan resolutely initiated a counterattack against them.

If this battle were won, everything would be fine. He would still be a hero of humanity and Earth.

If this battle were lost, he would surely fall from grace, and all the resulting consequences would also be his to bear. He would undoubtedly be regarded as the sinner of Earth.

Verily, being a hero was no easy task.

However, for the sake of Earth's and humanity's future, he resolutely chose to strike the Gods first before they could develop far more terrifying weapons.

The battle had yet to begin, so it was hard to predict the person who would emerge victorious in the future.

Nathan had already prepared for the worst.

To avoid implicating China in the event that he ended up defeated and labeled as the sinner of Earth, he insisted on resigning from all important positions at this time.

That was a thought he already harbored when he last conversed with his wife, Penny.

It was merely that he was truly putting it into action that day.

Nathan paused for a moment. Then, he continued, “To avoid implicating our country, I must resign. I will wage this war against the Gods solely in my capacity as the commander-in-chief of Earth Alliance. As for your claim that the country can't exist without me, I don't quite agree with it. Aren't you all still here? When I was away, Mr. Lucas, your Cabinet functioned perfectly fine, didn't it? Fang, Zach, Lucas, and Myron have also managed the military headquarters well.”

Upon hearing that, everyone humbly brushed it off by crediting his leadership.

Nathan chuckled. “Don't be overly modest. If I say you can do something, you can do it all right. I just wanted to ask you all whether you have a candidate to replace me when I step down this time. If you have any candidates or suggestions, let's hear them and discuss them among ourselves.”

After saying that, he casually picked up a cup of coffee and started drinking it.

Right away, someone recommended Zion for the position of President.

Upon hearing that, Nathan smiled and said to Zion, “Mr. Lucas, I also think you're mature and steady, thus very much suitable indeed.”

“No, no, I'm already up in years. Since you're retiring, Mr. Cross, I'm also planning to retire,” Zion argued fervently.

After saying that, he also announced his plans to retire.

Also, it seemed he was still grateful for Nathan's support in helping him make the Cabinet secretary back then.

He voluntarily recommended Fang for the role of President and suggested that Zach join the cabinet as the Cabinet secretary right then.

Fang was Nathan's protege, thoroughly and completely loyal to the man.

Zach, on the other hand, shared a bond as close as brothers with the man.
