Art of Conflict - VNV Nation[00:00:00]

Written by：Ronan Harris[00:00:01]

The art of war is of vital importance to the state[00:00:21]

It is a matter of life and death[00:00:26]

A road either to safety[00:00:30]

Or to ruin[00:00:33]

To fight and conquer in all[00:00:50]

Your battles is not supreme excellence[00:00:52]

Supreme excellence consists in breaking[00:00:54]

The enemy's resistance without having to fight[00:00:56]

If you know the enemy and know yourself[00:01:09]

Your victory will not stand in doubt[00:01:12]

If you know heaven and you know earth[00:01:14]

You may make your victory[00:01:17]

If you know the enemy and know yourself[00:01:23]

You need not fear results of a hundred battles[00:01:26]

If you know yourself but not the enemy[00:01:30]

For every victory gained[00:01:33]

You will also suffer defeat[00:01:35]

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself[00:01:37]

You will succumb in every battle[00:01:41]

Treat your soldiers as your beloved children[00:01:47]

And they will follow you into the deepest valleys[00:01:49]

To defeat your enemy you must pretend inferiority[00:01:56]

And encourage your enemy's arrogance[00:01:59]

Making no mistakes[00:02:06]

Is what establishes the certainty of victory[00:02:07]

For it means conquering an enemy[00:02:10]

That is already defeated[00:02:13]

There is no instance of a nation[00:02:24]

Benefiting from prolonged warfare[00:02:27]

Speed is the essence of war[00:03:24]

The art of war teaches us to rely not on[00:04:05]

The likelihood of the enemys not coming[00:04:08]

But on our own readiness to receive our enemy[00:04:11]

Not on the chance of our enemies not attacking[00:04:13]

But rather on the fact that we have made[00:04:16]

Our position unassailable[00:04:19]

The general who advances without seeking[00:04:24]

Fame and retreats without fearing disgrace[00:04:26]

Whose only thought is to protect his country[00:04:29]

And do service for his sovereign[00:04:32]

Is the jewel of his kingdom[00:04:34]

The victorious strategist only seeks[00:04:48]

Battle after the victory has been won[00:04:50]

Whereas he who is destined to defeat first[00:04:52]

Fights and afterwards looks for victory[00:04:55]

Speed is the essence of war[00:05:02]

Speed is the essence of war[00:06:00]

It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted[00:06:31]

With the evils of war[00:06:33]

Who can thoroughly understand[00:06:34]

How to profit from waging war[00:06:36]
