When one man ascended to the heavens, even his dogs and chickens flew up with him. When Lloyd rose, Gao Guang had to take off as well.
But the key point was, since Lloyd had become the Commander of the European Command, Gao Guang's ascent wasn't just about taking off anymore. He would be able to fly sideways, upside down, however he wanted across Europe—no one would dare block his path.
Gao Guang's rise wasn't just a case of being carried aloft by Lloyd. It was the return on his investment. Therefore, what reflected on him wasn't just a case of rising by association but a treasure in high demand, the best reward for stoking a cold stove.
Who could have imagined that Lloyd, a retired officer, could return to the military—and not just to any position, but right back into the power core of the U.S. Military? It was so unimaginable that even if Gao Guang were beaten to death, he wouldn't have thought of it, and even if Lloyd were beaten to death, he wouldn't have thought of it either.
