Salute to the General novel Chapter 2696

Nathan turned to Nelson with a strange smile and said, “Nelson, did you see the mighty soldiers and the weapons they carry? I have to say that many things have changed in twenty years.”

Nelson had no choice but to admit, “I've seen them, President Cross. They’re truly the best soldiers in the world.”

Nathan nodded. “That's right. They're the world's best soldiers, and they've got a kind heart in them. They'll be taking on roles to defend the nation. Without hesitation, they'll defend the country with their blood and bullet against anyone who thinks of invading our country or hurting the country and its people. Even if the bloodbath goes on throughout the night, and even if they die in the process, they'll still do it in a heartbeat.”

At that, Nathan swept his gaze across the crowd before fixing his eyes on Nelson again. In a frigid tone, he said, “So, I would say it's best for you not to underestimate our soldiers' determination to defend the nation. I will also never let anyone or any external force hurt or destroy the nation's prospering state.” Nelson could hear Nathan's tone turning grave, and he knew that the latter's words were meant for him.

Hence, he blurted out, “Of course 1 won't, President Cross. Is there a misunderstanding?”

Nathan sneered. “A misunderstanding?”

He then turned and waved to a guard at the side.

The guard immediately understood what he meant and brought a birdcage over.

The bird cage was the one Max had asked Nelson to gift to Nathan, and the bird inside was the bald eagle that represented Ariarica.

As Nathan stared at the bald eagle in the cage, he uttered, “Max has asked you to give this bird to me. Clearly, you've got a pretty good relationship with him.”

Nelson hastily said, “I have friends all over the world. President Cross, you can’t accuse me of sabotaging the country's stable condition because I have friends overseas. You can't say that I'm hurting the country just like that. I refuse to be blamed for that!”

Nathan hummed. “Friends overseas, huh? You have a lot of friends overseas, don't you? In fact, you have ninety-nine of them if you exclude Max! Your hundred friends from overseas have actually signed this petition of yours on behalf of their countries to help you become the next president. Nelson, do you know that with this alone, I can pin the crime of treason on you for making an alliance with foreign forces to intervene in the nation's internal affairs?”

What?

Nathan’s words had struck Nelson like a bolt from the blue.
