Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1619

The news about what happened to Wilfred spread throughout Brimmopolis the next day. Everyone was talking about the fact that he got sent back to jail the same day he was released and because of that, the Lieberman was finished.

Everyone also agreed that the General was as intimidating and powerful as ever!

Meanwhile, Clifford and Boris were playing chess in the gazebo at the Cabinet.

Clifford placed a black chess piece on the board while asking casually, “Mr. Tucker, have you heard about what happened to Wilfred?”

Boris replied placidly, “I've heard a little about it as everyone seems to be discussing it. Seems like Wilfred wanted to avenge his son right after he got released from jail and sent men to attack Nathan's family. However, I don't think he would have ever expected to be sent back to jail because of that. Furthermore, this has also caused the downfall of the Lieberman family.”

Clifford nodded and replied, “It's such a pity indeed. Wilfred was also once regarded as a figure of influence. We have thought that his release would pose a threat to Nathan Cross. Who knew that he wasn't that man's match at all and was defeated so easily. It seems like we've overestimated Wilfred's abilities.”

Boris answered, “Or rather, we have underestimated Nathan Cross. Since his base camp is at the North, we have assumed that no matter what, Wilfred would still be more powerful than him in Brimmopolis. However, we did not expect Will and Hailey to come to Nathan's assistance. That was the direct cause of Wilfred's final defeat.”

Clifford said, “Every new sovereign brings his own courtiers. Hansel is retiring soon. Besides, right before his retirement, he suffered a stroke and has handed over all affairs to the Cabinet. I'm sure Will and Hailey, who belong to Hansel's administration, are feeling anxious about the uncertain situation too. If I guessed it correctly, they must have pinned their hopes on Nathan and were trying to help him so that he could be their new backing. As long as Nathan is still in power, they can remain under his protection and it's one way out for them.”

Boris nodded and agreed, “Indeed, when the new president takes over, he would definitely appoint his own men to take over the positions of the Commander of the Guardian Special Forces as well as the Director of the Secret Service. Once Hansel retires, it follows that Will and Hailey's days are up. No wonder they are trying so hard to curry favor with Nathan Cross. They're probably hoping that he will look after

their interests in the future.”

Clifford replied at once, “Of course, even though Armageddon isn't the largest mercenary army and is also not the most active, they are the most elite mercenary army in the world. Word was it that within the recent ten years, the Armageddon had succeeded in all their missions but one.”

Boris replied, “Yup, three years ago, the vicecaptain led one thousand soldiers from the Armageddon and infiltrated the North in an attempt to kill Nathan Cross, General of the North. However, the mercenary army suffered a complete defeat instead. The vice-captain, along with the thousand soldiers, were all killed by Nathan Cross. That was the only time Armageddon failed in its mission. From then on, Eurasia was considered a forbidden territory to

the mercenary armies.”

Clifford was confused and asked, “Mr. Tucker, did you bring up the Armageddon because... “

Boris replied with a grin, “Yup, I intend to make use of the Armageddon to get rid of Nathan Cross.”
