Salute To The General

Chapter 440 What Happened To My Son

Zach Hill!

Admiral and commander-in-chief in the South.

Considering military ranks, Nathan, who was the General of the North, was one level higher than Zach.

Considering positions, the two men were on par with each other, as Nathan was the South's

commander-in-chief, whereas Zach was the North's commander-in-chief.

Considering their personal ties with each other, Nathan and Zach had previously participated in an

overseas international joint drill together.

While they were there, foreign enemy forces had tried to assassinate Zach, but Nathan had saved him

at the most crucial moment.

As such, it could be said that Zach and Nathan had gone through life and death together.

Zach had always held Nathan in high esteem and treated him with respect. To him, Nathan was just

like his own family.

Nathan opened his eyes with a faint smile on his face. "This should be our nation's third 055 submarine

chaser officially in service right?"

Colin nodded his head and replied, "Yup!"

Nathan grinned as he said, "This is great news for our comrades in the North; they've gained

themselves another powerful armament! Since it's such a momentous event for Admiral Hill, how could

I turn him down, given our brotherly ties! Tell him that I will be attending the service ceremony with my

family two days later."

"Yes, sir!" Colin replied loudly.

When Nathan reached home at 9 p.m., Penny, Queenie, Benson, Leah and Kylie were gathered in the

living room, discussing plans for their next vacation.

It turned out that two days later was Queenie's birthday.

As Penny was having a lull period at work, she planned to take the opportunity to bring the family on a

vacation, also as a way of celebrating their daughter's fifth birthday.

When Penny spotted Nathan at the door, she immediately told him about the plan and asked for his

opinion, hoping that he might come up with some wonderful holiday ideas.

Two days later?

Isn't two days later the official commencement day of service for the 055 submarine chaser at the East

Bay Naval Base in the South?

Nathan responded at once, "Our daughter is still young, it's not a good idea to travel too far. Why don't

we just go to the East Bay?"

Penny and the rest agreed with Nathan's suggestion. Kylie was rather overjoyed and exclaimed, "I like

East Bay! It's a coastal city. We can visit the beach."

When Queenie heard that, she clapped happily and cheered, "We're going to play at the sea! We're

going to play at the sea! My teacher told us that there are navy ships on the sea. Papa, can I take a

look inside a navy ship while we're at the beach?”

Nathan was smiling ear to ear as he replied, "Sure, we'll visit a navy ship together.”

Queenie was ecstatic at her dad's reply. "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Nathan replied with a smile.

Queenie could barely contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Yay! Papa is the best! Papa is bringing

me to visit a navy ship, I can't wait!"

Benson and Leah did not take Nathan's words seriously, but they still laughed along.

Penny shot a glance at her husband and said in a hushed voice, "Don't you know of the storyThe Boy

Who Cried "Wolf!"? As parents, all the more we cannot lie to our child. It is important that we keep our

nrnmisAs "

Nathan chuckled and replied, "I'm not lying to our daughter, I'm really taking her on a navy ship."

Penny dismissed Nathan with a wave and said, "Fine, fine, that's enough. It's bad enough that you

boasted to our girl, but it's even worse not to admit your mistake. Do you think those navy ships are

accessible to commoners like us?"

Nathan did not know whether to laugh or cry at his wife's response, but did not bother to explain

himself.

Meanwhile, at the Turner Mansion in Alberesque, Dip Turner was having a chess match with his eldest

son, Philip.

Philip had always been extremely meticulous, incisive and wise beyond his years. As such, he was

rather skilled at chess.

However, after battling for around half an hour, Philip still ended up losing to his dad by a small margin.

In a flattering tone, Philip said, "Dad, you're such an expert at chess. Looks like I still have many years

to go before I can catch up with you!"

Dip Turner laughed heartily at his son's compliment, "You are not bad yourself! Dad's getting old. Soon,

it'll be you and your brother calling the tune."

Just as Dip Turner mentioned his younger son, Alfred suddenly came rushing in. Content of

Alfred dropped to his knees the moment he entered the room. He stuttered as he said, "Sir, Mr. Trip,

he..."

With a trembling voice, Alfred replied, "Sir, it's Mr. Trip who..."
