Chapter 404
Chen Ting was somewhat at a loss.
No matter whether it was National Security or the Dragon Team, they were both directly under the responsibility of the Prime Minister. Even if there were any departments involved, it would be individuals from the Political Department who were solely responsible. It was impossible to involve people from both the military and political circles to jointly appear. It was a taboo inconceivable, not to mention the difficulty in ideologic communication between the two departments. Even the simple question of who should be in charge was a significant issue. Those who dabble in politics are not muddleheaded. For them, manipulating the military was nothing complicated. During the decade of turmoil, with just one sentence from a woman surnamed Jiang, how many illustrious old generals lost their heads. But then again, although these people are Military Generals, how does that saying go? Even when scholars meet soldiers, reasoning is of no use. There have been instances where disputes turned physical, with pounding on tables and drawing of knives. These old generals are not like the current minor officials; these old-timers are real men who climbed out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and having reached the rank of General, their intellect couldn’t be that poor.
Therefore, it was very, very rare for people from both the military and political circles to jointly preside over a matter –local issues aside. When it came to high-level matters, everything had to be clearly defined and orderly. Chaos was not tolerated.
Chen Ting’s thoughts snapped back to the present. Judging from the current situation, all five people were here for the guy in front of them. Suddenly, Chen Ting’s impression of this young man with a crew cut improved significantly. This guy was able to gather bigwigs from both the military and political circles; what kind of matter could this be? What kind of person was he?
"Shocked, aren’t you? With so many old timers coming together, can you imagine how powerful they are?" Ye Tian’s remark disrupted the turmoil in Chen Ting’s mind, only for her to shake her head, mute.
"Since Emperor Shi of Huaxia dreamed of eternal life, immortality, and lasting fame, no one from ancient times to the present has achieved this realm. Do you think these are mere unfounded tales or that there is some truth to them?"
Chen Ting scoffed, "Nonsense and heresy, nothing but deception."
"But what if someone actually believed it? What then?"
