Mao Anan was puzzled, “Why can’t the people of Austin understand that having an excellent medical team is far more sensible than having ten powerful fleets? Don’t they get injured during invasions?” “No,” Cassa said, “Injuries during war are rare, and often, not even the bodies are found.” “Alright,” Mao Anan changed her perspective, “Even if they don’t need it now, they’re facing extinction with few women left to continue their lineage. Why keep fighting when things have gotten this bad? Has Li Erben gone completely mad?” Cassa turned to look at Mao Anan with a smile, “You seem to have a strong bias against Li Erben?” Mao Anan huffed, “No.”
Wars do not stop because a race needs to continue, and the hatred from the loss of tribesmen does not fade with time. Therefore, the war continues, intensifying with each death. Perhaps millions of years ago, Austin did not foresee that the consequence of invading other territories would be the struggle to continue their lineage in a frozen wasteland. The frequent wars between the two empires indirectly boosted the development of their respective advantageous industries. For instance, Austin’s warship manufacturing. For instance, Zelazny’s advanced biological cloning industry. Austin does not lack money; in this galaxy, their fleet-building prowess has earned them enough capital to fight with Zelazny. And Zelazny is also not short of money; with countless species on the brink of extinction every day, their unparalleled cloning technology can bring extinct species back to life, albeit at a steep price. In summary, it’s just two particularly wealthy empires engaging in a scuffle. Mao Anan’s summary: Men with too much money tend to become irritable. War outcome prediction: Whoever runs out of money first will likely end the war.
