Simplified Meaning:
Having a lot of money is essential for winning wars. Just like muscles need tendons to move, armies need funds to function. Imagine a country preparing for battle. They have to pay for soldiers, weapons, food, and other supplies. If they run out of money, they can't keep fighting effectively. A historical example is the Roman Empire, which needed vast amounts of gold to maintain its military strength. Today's lesson is that substantial financial resources are crucial for sustaining any large-scale effort, especially in times of conflict.
