Salute To The General



A few moments later, Gammon tested the waters and tried figuring out why Nathan made that trip to Remdik.

Nathan came clean about his plan and told Gammon about the development of the world and how Ariarica had dominated the west.

He also warned Gammon of the threats that both Eurasia and Remdik might face if they refuse to take action against Ariarica.

Nathan said in a calm voice, “We have a common enemy, Mr. Gammon. And I can foresee that this common enemy is slowly becoming a big threat to our countries. I think it's time for us to strengthen our partnership in certain areas."

Gammon responded with a smile. "For example?"

Nathan replied, "Ariarica had imposed sanctions on more than ten Eurasian corporations, and they were quite barbaric in their approach. Though we're in the midst of negotiating with them on the lifting of sanctions, the Ariaricans had the audacity to conduct their military exercises at our borders."

Gammon nodded and said, "That's what they do best. I've even lost count of the sanctions they imposed on us."

Nathan said, “That's why I came here today to discuss the ways to strengthen our collaboration. 1 plan to run a military exercise in response to the one Ariarica conducted, and I hope Remdik can join us."

"I'm sure our military collaboration would cause a commotion in Ariarica and put them in panic mode. I'm sure this combined military exercise will benefit Eurasia and Remdik," Nathan analyzed.

Upon hearing that proposal, Gammon went deep in thought.

The other Remdikian officers and generals also started murmuring among themselves.

Some of them felt that Ariarica's sanctions had crushed Remdik's economy in the last couple of years.

Should Remdik collaborate with Eurasia, they would be able to flex their military might for Ariarica to see. It would be a win-win situation for both countries.

However, some felt Remdik's economy had plunged to an unrecoverable depth. Despite having a strong military, Remdik was not in any position to instigate another conflict with Ariarica. Challenging Ariarica could only cause more damage than good.

Some generals thought the Eurasian Chief Military Governor's proposal was a good idea but felt his sincerity was questionable.

It was difficult for them to have faith in someone unwilling to reveal their face.

Why should we collaborate with him if he doesn't demonstrate his sincerity here?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

All the officers and generals started voicing their concerns.

At one point, Gammon had to stop the argument. "That's enough. Stop arguing!"

As a godlike figure in Remdik, Gammon was able to command respect. All the high-rank officials immediately kept their mouths shut.

Gamon then turned to Nathan and said, "Your proposal sounds good. I think both Eurasia and Remdik would benefit from this collaboration."

He then hesitated for a moment.

"But since this is not something to

be taken lightly, I can't decide right away. Why don't you stay in the palace tonight? I'll discuss it with my men and give you an answer tomorrow."

Nathan responded with a grin. "Sure!"

That night, Gammon arranged for Nathan and his men to stay in one of the buildings in the palace.

The Remdikians took good care of

Nathan and his men, but they wanted the Eurasians to stay within the building. Should they need to step out of it, the Remdikians would assign their people to accompany them.

But Nathan did not come to Remdik for vacation.

Moreover, Colin, Elite Eight, and

other subordinates were also exhausted after a long day of traveling, so Nathan ordered them to take a good rest.

Nathan walked out of the room and sat on a bench in the courtyard. He then took down his mask and started smoking.

While he was puffing at a cigarette, he went deep in thought. Would Gammon agree to take part in the military exercise? Would they work with us should we need to fight against Ariarica?

The moon gradually rose in the night sky, and its silvery light gently hit on his body.

The moonlight that shone on him outlined the shape of his face. The serious look he had on his face when he was smoking made him look even more mysterious.

All of a sudden, he heard a teenage girl exclaiming in a sweet voice from a distance.

He turned around and saw a tall teenage girl, who dressed like a Remdikian princess, running away with two attendants.

Nathan was startled, and he immediately put on his mask. Did someone spy on me? Who is that girl?
