The room door was closed again, and Stanhope Brown's voice was blocked inside.
Grace Gordon couldn't hear what Stanhope was saying anymore, but... the words Stanhope just said were shocking to her.
She didn't know that Stanhope used to be a Special Forces soldier, and she didn't know that some wars many years ago had made Stanhope go through so much.
From Stanhope's tone, she could tell that he was not afraid of war, but he was more eager for peace.
That sentence... "When the time comes, please take up your weapon, stand at the forefront of our military, and I will be with you," was too powerful. Grace could even imagine the stunned silence on the other end.
How ridiculous were those generals' so-called righteous indignation and words of defending the national dignity when it was actually others who had to pay with their lives?
