Salute to the General novel Chapter 250

At the secret military base, the award ceremony was currently ongoing.

Out on the training field, twenty thousand soldiers in full combat gear were standing in neat rows. Beside them were tanks, armored cars and other combat vehicles.

In the hangars nearby, several military helicopters and fighter jets were parked.

At present, all those soldiers were excitedly watching the proceedings on stage.

The reason for their unwavering attention was Nathan Cross. After all, it was not every day the General of the North Army, AKA the Ares of the North, himself appeared before their very eyes. He was the idol of many soldiers and everyone was awed to see him attending this function.

Admiration and respect were obvious in their eyes as they gazed at the man, who had just finished awarding the lieutenant colonels their badges.

Dressed in casual clothing, Nathan gave a short speech, "My fellow comrades, it is an honor to be a soldier of China. Never forget your duty and march forward bearing the burden of your responsibility. Protect your country with all your heart and if need be, your life."

Franklin, Colin and the twenty thousand men echoed his words with a loud roar.

Standing below stage, Kylie was staring at Nathan with a dumbfounded look on her face. There was no way to describe what she was feeling right now.

Is he really just a normal retired soldier? Why do the other soldiers look like fans meeting their idol? It even feels like he's even more impressive than General Wilson!

As she lost herself in her thoughts, Nathan had come down from the stage. Colin, Franklin and the other higher-ranking officials were walking beside him.

Franklin politely enquired, "Would you like to have lunch with the men before you leave?"

Before Nathan could give his reply, a sentry suddenly appeared on the grounds. He flew towards the group of higher-ups, shouting as he neared them, "Reporting, sir!”

Furious at the interruption, Franklin bit out, "What's this all about?"

Snapping out a salute, the sentry reported loudly, "Sir, there's a large number of vehicles outside the gates carrying thousands of men. They seem to be trying to invade our base."

Astonished, Franklin repeated in disbelief, "There are thousands of men outside assaulting the gates of our compound?"
