"You know very well why I am opposed to your marriage." Admiral Sean frowned and said, "This is no joke. The matter between you and Lu Zhen is already an open secret in the eyes of some people in the headquarters. They
They are tight-lipped and are worried about us, so they won’t talk nonsense. On the surface, they are okay, but they can’t say anything without real evidence. Our family’s roots in this country are too deep to protect you.”
"However, once you get married, this is an ironclad fact. It is impossible for you to advance further. Your career may stagnate when you reach the rank of captain of the 19th Squadron. You may not even be able to make it to a senior colonel."
"Maybe I'll find a name to kick you out. Many of them are waiting for you to fall out with Lu Zhen. If you fall out and turn against each other, they will be happy and will definitely use you."
"If you get married, Nolan, your future will be ruined."
"My uncle didn't tell you that you must become a five-star general. I think you don't care now about what position you will hold in the future. But you are wrong. When you mature slowly, you will find that some things are necessary."
"Otherwise, if the matter between you and Lu Zhen is made public, who will protect you? The things that Michael was set up for, without Sophia and I helping him behind the scenes, he would not be able to survive. This is not a joke."
"I know you value him more than your future, but you also have to weigh the pros and cons."
"Nolan, uncle, even if you don't tell me, you understand in your heart. Think about it carefully."
In fact, Nolan understands what Lieutenant General Xiaon said, and he has already thought about it. He wants to get married, not only to give Lu Zhen a family and make Lu Zhen completely at ease, but also to let them be together legitimately.
A relationship with legal protection is not like a bubble in the sun.
This feeling is different.
He also knew that if he wanted to get married, he would have to give up some of the things he would have in the future, such as fame, fortune and status. He was also ready to give up, even if he was given a clerk's position in the future.
He shared his thoughts with Admiral Sean.
Admiral Sean can understand, but cannot agree with his irrational behavior.
"Nolan, don't you really want to think about it clearly?"
"Uncle, I have decided this long ago."
Admiral Sean sighed, "You said it easily, being a civilian. Do you think anyone can be a civilian? Is the Minister of Defense still a civilian? What was your original career plan? Do you still remember it?"
"What about the oath you made to your father? Have you forgotten it?"
"Did you forget what you said when you were sworn in to join the army?"
"Don't you think it's a pity that you have to give up everything for Lu Zhen?" Admiral Sean said, "You could have gotten all this without giving up anything."
Nolan was silent, still insisting on his own ideas. Admiral Sean talked to him again, and finally glanced upstairs, "I have told you everything I should say. We all agree that you can be together. You
My aunt is also safe. She also said that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Zhen and will not pursue her.
After all, it’s just your marriage. I still hope you can think about it carefully. Even if you don’t think about it for you, you should think about it for him. With his status, maybe something will happen in the future. With your higher status and higher authority, you
There are more things you can do, which is also a kind of protection.”
