Salute to the General novel Chapter 843

According to the military rules, an officer who was transferred from an active-duty unit to a reserve unit would usually be promoted one rank up!

For example, a second lieutenant from an active-duty unit would be promoted to first lieutenant after being transferred to a reserve unit, while a colonel would be promoted to major-general in the same situation.

As Warren was a major-general of the reserve unit, his rank was far lower than Franklin's, who was major-general of active-duty military forces. Naturally, his status and scope of authority could not be compared to Franklin's.

As such, Warren was not able to speak to Franklin casually and had to 'seek an audience'formally, to show his respect for the man.

Franklin had an unfathomable smile on his face as he said, "This is interesting. If I guessed it correctly, Warren Quirke is here to assist the Yaleman family in their quest for revenge under the disguise of work. I

bet he doesn't know that the enemy of the Yalemans is our General, who's sitting right here!"

Nathan had an amused expression and said, "Let him in!"

Soon after, Warren, who was dressed in his military uniform, strode into the room.

He stood at attention and faced Nathan and Franklin, before saluting them respectfully.

In a serious and loud voice, Warren stared straight ahead and said, "General, Major-General Wilson, Warren Quirke, Major-General of the Fearless Warriors reserve unit from the West, reports."

Nathan nodded, "Good afternoon, Major-General Quirke, take a seat!”

Immediately after Warren sat down, Colin served him a cup of tea, which made him feel flattered.

As Warren sat upright with a straight back, he stole a glance at Nathan and was surprised. Our General is really young!

Nathan smiled as he inquired, "What brings Major-General Quirke from the West all the way here to the South?"
