The strategy has been set, now it just needs to be executed.
Lu Ping'an saw clearly that rescuing the entire Island Country was unrealistic; the enemy had already overrun the entire nation, with masses of advanced combat power, making it hard to even know where to begin any sort of clearance operation.
Eliminating one or two targets might be feasible... but now they were playing on the enemy's home field, and inadvertently falling into a trap could lead to the loss of even more top combat power, which would be too costly.
"After all, it's not worth it... For a nation that has already fallen, risking the loss of a large amount of our own top combat power is just not worth it."
Lu Ping'an saw clearly that he might not be a qualified soldier, but he was definitely a businessman above standard.
