Chiang Kai-shek War Quotations

Modern warfare is by no means merely a matter of military operations. Economic affairs stand together with them in the first rank of the factors of importance.

You must all be aware that modern war is not a mere matter of military operations. It involves the whole strength and all the resources of the nation. Not only soldiers, but also all citizens without exception, take part.

War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit, or morale.

Government acquisition of food supplies in time of war is no less important than conscription. Equity is the fundamental principle applicable to both these essential phases of war administration.

The final outcome of a war is often determined by the degree of initiative shown on each side.
