Salute to the General novel Chapter 2618

Nathan was a smart man. He figured out Zion’s intentions the second he heard about the visit.

Hence, he grinned as he looked at the nervous guy sitting in front of him. Calmly, he said, “My thoughts? I think that you are a grounded person who has been working at the Cabinet for years. You are also the cabinet secretary, so there is no question about your skills at all. You definitely have what it takes to be the president.”

Zion's eyes glowed the second he heard what Nathan said.

However, Nathan continued, “Erwin, on the other hand, has always kept a low profile and looked like regular folk. Yet, the truth is that he is extremely skillful and powerful. He is like a gem hidden underground, and he'll shine when his potential is unleashed.”

Zion's smile stiffened.

Nathan calmly pointed out, “President Woods also enjoys keeping a low profile when he works, and that similarity is why President Woods favors Erwin. My take on the matter is that you both have equal shots at getting the job.”

Penny and the others had been eating quietly, but they were also listening intently to Nathan's conversation with Zion.

Even she could tell Zion was trying to have Nathan back him up, and she was curious as well. Will Nathan help Erwin or Zion?

However, after hearing Nathan's response, she couldn't help but cheer secretly. Ooh, my husband is so cool. It sounds as though he has shared so much, but the truth is that he hasn't said anything useful at all.

That point also made her feel impressed. Aw, no wonder Hubby is given the role of the Chief Military Governor. I'd be a mess if I were the one in that position. Dealing with politicians and powerful figures like that... It's like going into a war with words, and 1 am not fit for it. The way Nathan deals with them is impressive.

Nathan's words were plentiful, but he didn't say anything useful.

Yet, somehow, his words wouldn’t offend Zion.

Zion became deep in thoughts after hearing Nathan's words. It was at that point that he understood why Garrett favored Erwin.

Ah, so this is just because their style is similar. President Woods probably saw his younger self in Erwin, and that is why he has high hopes for Erwin. Huh... So... Erwin isn't as weak as I thought.

It was at that moment that Zion became even more convinced that he needed Nathan on his side.
