Too many readers think the male lead doesn't love his country and won't return to serve it.
Let me make one thing clear: the male lead will definitely return to help his country. That's a matter of principle.
But this book is still short, and the male lead doesn't have anything substantial to show for himself yet.
Also, I mentioned at the beginning of the book that in this world, the male lead arrived in the flesh—and he has no official identity!
He has no family, friends, fellow soldiers, or former commanders he knows in this world. He doesn't even recognize the military unit designations!
Just because you have an Asian face and speak Chinese doesn't mean you're Chinese, or that people will automatically believe you.
If someone clearly has exceptional skills and has undergone rigorous training, yet no one can find any record of them going back ten generations, which country would be willing to believe they're one of its citizens?
The male lead was able to establish himself in the United States only because the wealthy Tony vouched for him.
What kind of trouble would he run into if he went straight back to China? You can imagine.
So the male lead first needs to show his sincerity and convince the leaders of his country that he's one of them—but he has to make sure he's safe first.
Don't underestimate the intelligence of government officials, and don't overestimate their integrity.
I'm clarifying this once here. I won't repeat it again.
For the record!
