"The essence of war is numerical consumption."
Gently laying down the latest battle report, casualty report, and supply requisitions, Pasiphael muttered to himself in a weary voice:
"The Duchy might consider this war as a 'limited war' or 'localized conflict,' but unfortunately, for Lapland to survive a war of this scale, it must mobilize all its national power, enduring massive human and material resource consumption that even victory might lead to national collapse."
Yes, consumption.
It's not even called sacrifice, but a hell where lives are continuously devalued, where thousands of lives and wealth are consumed as mere numbers.
This is the true face of modern warfare.
No morality, no honor, no passion, only the ruthless pursuit of victory.
If war doesn't end with victory, it holds no meaning.
