Chapter 20.5
Balance of Power
quote:
Here is something to think about
You can't win a war any more than you can win an earthquake.
|
While Mr. Y had survived both a shield impact and a rogue attack, it was not a clean war. Indeed, the quagmire had weakened his forces by 25%, erasing most of his edge against the Socialist bloc. With Kit's comrades ahead in the production race, the military edge would be lost in just a few more years.
Furthermore, Vetko was baseless, armed, and dangerous. Things looked bleak.
--------------
Still, the capitalists were living large compared to most of the galaxy. Three powers had been reduced to refugees, while a fourth hung onto a single captured base. Whereas previously the two superpowers controlled 2/3rds of the galaxy's firepower, that number had since climbed to almost 75%.

Orders due Thursday at 5 PM.
