In addition, the huge changes in that Middle Eastern country recently had also really made Sayid, as well as his leaders, worried.
However, when Charlie suddenly said that he would b e able to let Ten Thousand Armies help them collaborate in defense, Sayid s first thought was that it would be impossible.
He could not help but say, "Mr. Wade, when we last met, you said yourself that it would only be the most beneficial situation for Ten Thousand Armies if our country was constantly injured and bleeding. Now, you are asking us to cooperate with Ten Thousand Armies and have them come to assist us in defense? Isn't that a bit inconsistent?!"
Charlie smiled indifferently and said, "I naturally won't deny what I said before, and I still hold this view. For Ten Thousand Armies, the more turbulent you are, the more they can benefit from it, but have you ever thought that for you, the situation has changed drastically? Before you conquered all the way and broke through, the opposition forces including Hamed could only cower and struggle to survive."
Speaking of this, Charlie said again, "But you know the situation now, and you have also seen the changes
here with Hamed with your own eyes. With Hamed’s level of defense, if he continues to oppose you, you will be completely helpless against him, not to mention that many of his colleagues who are likeminded with Hamed are desperately copying his work. Once they build a solid defense base in the mountains, your situation will be even more passive. I f you want to attack, you will definitely not be able to attack, and if you want to defend, you have no advantage or way to hide from danger. So, your situation will only become more and more passive."
Sayid had a grave expression on his face when he heard this.
Since Hamed had won two defensive battles, it showed the way for the other opposition forces, and it was also those two battles that had made Sayid and his leaders understand that offensive battles were simply too difficult to fight. Not being able to take the target down in one or two battles but suffering large casualties in one's own personnel which led to the disintegration of the army was the most difficult problem.
Such a war only needed to last another two or three times, and the soldiers in the army would certainly have fear of attacking and going to war to the extreme, and later on, no one would dare to continue to fight the attacking war.
