"Indeed,"
Uncle knew Bailuo would understand, "We are fighting for the sake of benefits."
"So I want to ask everyone, what benefits do we gain by going to war?"
Battling fiercely on the battlefield, is it just for petty gains?
As soldiers shed their blood, if it brings no benefits to the nation, then why fight?
Of course, if it's for the sake of dignity, that might be more important than any benefit.
"But this time, we are not fighting for revenge, nor have we suffered any indignity to our dignity," Uncle said, "What we seek are benefits, advantages, the essential things for our country and household."
"What does our Yatun need most now?"
Uncle posed a second question, and to this question, both Bailuo and his elder martial sister could answer him: "Time!"
"Correct."
Uncle nodded and said in a deep voice, "What we most need is time."
"We don't need foreign resources, we're not short of food, and even our population, to some extent, we could do without."
