A Country with Brave People Can Win the Victory.
民众英勇，打仗就会获胜。“勇”作为一种品格，主要是指战斗精神、必胜意志、无所畏惧的气概。它往往是决定战争胜利的必要条件或先决条件。这种品格，不仅军队要具备，广大民众也应具备；民众是赢得战争的社会基础，只有民众也表现出足够的英勇，才能使战争在兵源、物力、财力、精神等各方面得到足够的支持。其中蕴涵着总体战争的观念。
Bravery determines the victorious outcome of a battle. As a trait, bravery refers mainly to the fighting spirit, the will to win, and fearless heroism. It is characteristically a necessary condition or a pre-requisite that decides the victorious outcome of a battle. Such a trait should not only be found in an army, but also in the general public because the latter provides the social support to wage a war. Only from a heroic population can adequate manpower, materials, money, and moral that the war needs be drawn. This term implies the notion of a general war.
