"But..." Hamilton couldn't help but find that face amusing. He paused, turned his head aside, and continued, "There are some things here that we both understand. Revoking your military rank was not the intention of the Supreme Command Department. They will soon recognize General Tian's achievements at Gazalin, but for now, General Tian will have to endure some grievances."
As he spoke, Hamilton turned back and saw a composed, portly man nodding earnestly. His expression was sincere.
Hamilton was startled. He steadied himself, cast a bitter smile at the amused generals, and continued to the portly man, "To be honest, before you captured James, the Federation's military and political situation faced a major crisis. The victory in the war at Gazalin owes a lot to your efforts, General Tian, and no one can erase that."
The portly man beamed with delight and replied repeatedly, "It's what I should do, it's all what I should do. It's nothing to mention. Hahaha."
