Salute To The General

Despite that interlude during Nathan's inauguration ceremony, the ceremony had still proceeded rather smoothly.

What had happened had also given Nathan an opportunity to display his strong leadership skills, and everyone was filled with confidence in their new president. After the inauguration ceremony, Nathan returned to the White House.

The moment he sat down in his office chair, he received a phone call from Gammon.

Nathan picked up and answered with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Gammon."

"Congratulations, Mr. Cross!" Gammon's hearty voice sounded through the phone.

The man had called to offer his well wishes to Nathan.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Gammon took the opportunity to invite Nathan to Remdik.

In fact, according to conventional practices, after a new president assumed office, his priority would be to visit every state before visiting foreign countries.

Usually, the first destination would be the country's most important political ally.

As such, Nathan accepted Gammon's invite readily.

Right after the call with Gammon ended, Nathan received a call from Adolf, the President of Valmora.
