"Hiss, what's going on inside so early in the morning?" someone asked cautiously.
"I don't know."
"Never mind, I'll go get busy now."
"Then I'll get back to work and head over there."
"I'm leaving too."
Smart people understand that they should know what they need to know, and they shouldn't try to find out what they shouldn't know. This applies not only to the military, but to everywhere.
The more you know, the more dangerous it is.
It's better to just do your job well.
After all, some things that happen at the top don't affect those below.
........
That very morning, something suddenly happened that shocked the entire Kyoto community.
It's fair to say that many people thought they were dreaming.
In the Chief of Staff's office, the intercom suddenly rang, finally breaking the silence.
Ye Yutang answered the phone: "This is Ye Yutang."
The speed at which Chief of Staff Ye's expression changed was so visibly surprising that it puzzled the three people present.
What major event has occurred this time?
Ordinary things probably wouldn't cause the Chief of Staff to change his expression like this, would they?
"What? Say it again!" Ye Yutang picked at his ear with his finger, raising his voice again.
It's unclear what was said on the other end of the phone, but Chief of Staff Ye replied, "Understood," and hung up, leaning back in his office chair.
Ye Wanying, Commander Gao, and Major Ye standing to the side exchanged glances repeatedly.
"Something's happened?" Yingying asked with her eyes.
Upon hearing this, both Commander Gao and Major Ye nodded in agreement. It seemed that they could find no other excuse besides this reason.
The three suspected that something was wrong within the military. Usually, only when there was a problem in the military would people look so serious.
However, this matter is not so simple.
The implications are much bigger and more numerous.
It's safe to say that Chief of Staff Ye wasn't the only one so shocked; there were probably a whole host of other people who were still reeling from the shock.
After all, nobody expected this.
Ye Yutang frowned, unconsciously rubbing his throbbing temples. His gaze fell on his daughter and son-in-law, and after several twitches of his lips, he finally spoke slowly:
"Old Master Gu..."
Um?
Old man?
The couple were suddenly startled: "What's wrong with the old man?" Yingying asked anxiously, and even Commander Gao's face was no longer as calm as before.
"The old man just completely relinquished power in Z South China Sea."
Complete decentralization?
Everyone knows that power is only truly useful when it is in one's own hands.
That would be the most powerful weapon to protect oneself and one's family.
It can be said that as long as the old man does not do anything that harms the interests of the country and the people, he can hold onto his power until his death without anyone saying anything.
And having power in one's hands is even more advantageous for the family!
But now...
The old man voluntarily relinquished his power, a piece of news that truly caught everyone off guard.
It wasn't just a surprise; to be precise, it sent the entire Kyoto community into an uproar early this morning!
Hearing that the old man was alright, the couple breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Let's delegate power then, as long as the old man is happy.
The Gu family has their own pride and doesn't necessarily need to rely on the old man's protection.
Even if the old man relinquishes power now, it won't be a major blow to the Gu family.
Gu Jia's sons did not achieve their current success because of the protection of their elders.
