Everyone's just trying to scrape a living, aren't they? If they're incorporated into the ranks of the Alliance Army, surely they wouldn't let them starve?
Who knows, in the future they might even have the chance to become regulars, proud members of the Alliance's formal military.
But imagine expecting a militia with this kind of mentality to risk their lives in military confrontation with the Alliance?
Don't make me laugh.
Besides, it's not just about direct military confrontation, even without war, the Mutual Aid Society couldn't withstand hostility from the Alliance, let alone its hard measures.
A militia of over a hundred thousand, who's going to provide the arms?
With just food, could the four million residents of the Beiqing Valley Region survive? A large volume of industrial products, essential goods for life, all depend on supply from the Twin Cities, especially important is medical aid.
