Chapter 180 Decision-Making

"The form of war has changed, we must be clear about that. War is no longer conducted in the familiar situations and manners we know. What is this war now? It is a massacre of an advanced species against a backward one."

"The form of war has changed, but the essence of warfare remains the same. War is ultimately about the elimination of the enemy's living forces. And since the enemy's fundamental goal is to occupy the entire planet, we can determine that what we're really fighting over is national power and technology."

"We can now confirm that the enemy's technological capabilities are on a completely different level than ours. With this premise in mind, the strength of a nation's power also completely loses its significance. Even if the Serpent People only send two large spacecraft, the enormous technological disparity renders concepts like numerical advantage meaningless."
