A strategically protracted war and campaigns or battles of quick decision are two aspects of the same thing,...The reverse is true of campaigns and battles--here the principle is not protractedness but quick decision. Quick decision is sought in campaigns and battles, and this is true at all times and in all countries. In a war as a whole, too, quick decision is sought at all times and in all countries, and a long drawn-out war is considered harmful. China's war, however, must be handled with the greatest patience and treated as a protracted war.
Support Beijing 2: 說得比劉三姐唱得好聽
"战略的持久战,战役和战斗的速决战,这是一件事的两方面,……战役和战斗的原则与此相反,不是持久而是速决。在战役和战斗上面争取速决,古今中外都是相同的。在战争问题上,古今中外也都无不要求速决,旷日持久总是认为不利。惟独中国的战争不能不以最大的忍耐性对待之,不能不以持久战对待之"。
