According to the military rules, an officer who was transferred from an active-duty unit to a reserve unit would usually bepromoted one rank up!novelbin
For example, a second lieutenant from an active-duty unit would be promoted to first lieutenant after being transferred to areserve 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-dutymilitary 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 theman.
Franklin had an unfathomable smile on his face as he said, "This is interesting. If | guessed it correctly, Warren Quirke is here toassist the Yaleman family in their quest for revenge under the disguise of work. |
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 respecifully.
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?"
Warren answered quickly, "General, we are here to exchange military tactics with Channing's reserve unit. In addition, ourcommander-in-chief of the West, General Lucas Ziegler, knows that you're here in the South, and had instructed me to send hisregards."
Nathan nodded, "Go back and tell General Ziegler that I've received his well wishes."
"Yes, Sir!" Warren replied before he took a pause and continued, "Oh right, General, a team of my reserve soldiers will beengaged in actual combat training at Sandfort Hill, which is located in the suburbs of Channing, tomorrow. | would like to seekyour approval on this matter."
Nathan replied indifferently, "That area is under the care of Major-General Wilson, you should speak to him instead."Warren looked at Franklin.
Franklin took a sip of tea and replied coolly, "Shouldn't be a problem, I'll let the mayor of Channing know so that he can informthe residents that there'll be a military exercise in the vicinity of Sandfort Hill tomorrow and no one is to go near the area."
"Thank you, Major-General Wilson!" Warren was delighted to hear that.
