In short, there were some minor troubles, but no major issues, and the transition was overall smooth.
Since the General had long been prepared for his own demise, he had made arrangements at the base—if the base were to be forcefully seized, it would probably self-detonate. But if it were to be handed over to someone he designated, it would transition peacefully.
The current situation with Jade Lotus was considered a designated succession, so the transition was peaceful.
Of course, things couldn't possibly go completely smoothly. Even if the General had excellent foresight, he couldn't accurately predict human nature.
