章 395: I Have the High Ground!

"Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln"

"War is a mere continuation of politics by other means"

-        Vom Kriege, Carl von Clausewitz

"Let me say this boys and remember my words in your heart carefully because it might be able to save your life later on. War, or any form of activities that resembles a war, is to serve the politics decided by those higher ups seating in the Sultan's court. We as the humble servants of the Sultan are to follow the viziers and the Sultan's spirit at all times, and we are forbidden to make strategic decisions by our own. Since we have already accomplished our goals, we are now settled with the enemies and any further actions shall only weaken ourselves and leave the western front increasingly vulnerable day by day, do you now understand?"
