Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) 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?"

That was because he was well aware that he was not on the same level as the General and Major-General Wilson, and did not dare to impose any further.

After Warren left Franklin's office, he set off for Sandfort Mansion at Sandfort Hill with one of his subordinates from the reserve unit to join the Yaleman family.

Chad and Rowan had already prepared a feast at the Sandfort Mansion to welcome Warren and his group of men.

During the banquet, Chad poured a drink for Warren while asking cautiously, "General Quirke, have you informed the Generals in charge of the Channing military?"

Warren, feeling pleased with himself, replied, "Of course, not only did I manage to speak to Franklin Wilson, commander-in-chief of the Channing military district, I even got to meet the General of the North. Both the General and Major-General Wilson had agreed to designate Sandfort Hill as a restricted zone for military exercise tomorrow and common folks would not be allowed to enter the premise. So, even if we go on a killing spree tomorrow, the Channing authorities would not interfere."

Chad was elated to hear that and sneered, "I've already sent someone to inform Nathan Cross to bring his entire family to Sandfort Hill to be buried with my sons tomorrow. And if they fail to show up, I'll personally kill everyone who's dear to him."
