Salute To The General

At that moment, Erwin was seated on his couch, flanked by Carrey and Hamish on either side. With a cup of tea in his hand, he watched the news of Zion's arrest with grim satisfaction. "Zion is completely ruined this time," Carrey remarked. "He's never going to recover from this. Three months from now, upon his release from prison, his best option would be to spend the rest of his life in exile."

Hamish frowned. "Nathan must be furious that Dad did not agree to his conditions. Braydon and Sigurd will probably die in a military prison." Erwin frowned at the mention of the Goodall brothers. As they were capable and loyal to him, they were naturally privy to many of

his secrets.

After he considered every possible scenario, rescuing the Goodall brothers remained one of his priorities.

Nathan is not going to let my refusal to take up his offer go unpunished. The Goodall brothers are going to suffer for my impertinence.

"So what?" Carrey scoffed. "With Dad's current approval rate, he is firmly in the running to be the next president. When that day comes, his first official act would be to strip Nathan of his post. By then, it would be the simple matter of appointing one of our own as the new Chief Military Governor and having him release the Goodall brothers. For now, our best course of action would be to reach out to the Goodall family to have their sons buckle down for another year or two and assure them that their sacrifices to our cause will not be in vain and that we will compensate them beyond their wildest dreams."

Erwin nodded. "That's the best we can do under these circumstances. You handle this, Hamish. Pay a diplomatic visit to the Goodall family and convince the boys to endure for another year or two. They will see the light of day again when I become the president." "Consider it done, Dad."
