Chapter 417 - 410 Unacceptable by the Heavens
The amount of captured goods was so abundant that the manpower for handling them was insufficient, and Gao Yuan didn’t know if this qualified as a happy problem.
Gao Yuan had no mood to listen to François boasting about the prowess of the Sanitation Workers, he said impatiently, "Now tell me about the situation with the Solar System Company, who has the upper hand?"
This time, François pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "It’s hard to say, we’ve launched two attacks, and although both ended in failure, I think, we definitely have the advantage."
Sirte asked indifferently, "Why do you say that?"
"Because we have more people than the Solar System Company, and more equipment as well, but more importantly, we can afford the losses, they cannot," replied François.
After saying this, François continued with an air of certainty, "Now the range of the Solar System Company’s activities has been greatly reduced. They truly can cause us trouble, but, they never have the capability to face us in a direct confrontation. You must understand that when we assemble tens of thousands of troops and launch a formal attack, their harassing tactics will be unable to stop us."
After giving it some thought, Sirte said, "In the current harassment and counter-harassment battles, who suffers greater losses?"
"On paper, we suffer more losses. Our equipment damage is very severe, and our personnel casualties are roughly five to one compared to the Solar System Company’s. But you have to understand, we only send out ordinary soldiers, ordinary patrol teams, whereas the people from the Solar System Company can only be very elite special forces. We can afford the consumption; they cannot. Now, we have more equipment than we can use; what matters is the people," François explained.
