Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1728

Garrett added, “Clifford was born in a prominent family. He represents the interests of a large number of the rich and powerful. Many of them, as well as members of his faction, worked hard to support him and promote him to the position of president. As for Zion, he also came from a prestigious family that has been in politics for generations. Zion not only represents the interests of some of the prominent families but he also has the support of Mr. Windsor; all these people will stand behind Zion in his race against Clifford. Meanwhile, I came from a lowly background and am usually too proud to form cliques with them, so I don't belong to any faction. Naturally, I don't have rich and powerful allies. How could I compete with people like Clifford and Zion?”

Nathan calmly replied, “You have a lowly background and don't have the support of the rich and powerful. You also don't belong to any faction, so you don't have a large support base. But it doesn't mean that no one supports you. While you were serving the people all over the country, you've won yourself a good reputation and also the hearts of the common folks. You have the support of the people, and mine too!”

Hearing this, Garrett said gratefully, “Nathan, you flatter me, but I don't think I'll stand a chance.”

“It's not that you don't stand a chance. You just can't see the situation clearly as you're in the middle of it, but to me as an outsider, the scene is crystal-clear,” remarked Nathan seriously. “You stand a chance a sporting chance but

you have to wait for the opportunity to come. And as you wait for that opportunity, you have to prepare for it. The sooner you prepare and the more fully you do so, the greater chance you will have to become the next president and make full

use of your talent.”

After all, it is the dream of many people to become president and make full use of their talent.

Garrett used to have the same dream, but he was a low-key and down-to-earth man who was not very ambitious.

At this moment, though, he was moved by Nathan.

Staring intently at Nathan, he asked, “Nathan, you said that I have a sporting chance but the right time hasn't come. So please advise me: when will the right time come?”

Garrett was shocked; he did not expect Nathan to take such a long-range view of things. Upon Nathan's guidance, he saw a glimmer of hope for his future.

Suddenly, he rose to his feet, bowed at Nathan, and said gratefully, “Thank you, Nathan, for your guidance!”

Meanwhile, Clifford suddenly sneezed in his study room.

Clifford was still planning to get back at Nathan after becoming president.

What he never expected was that Nathan had already enlightened Garrett and found him an extremely strong opponent.
