When Fortress 178 decided to launch a war against the Zong Consortium, the entire place suddenly started bustling with activity.
Most consortiums would usually distribute most of their fighting forces across various strongholds in order to gain complete control over each stronghold. For example, it would be enough for the Qing Consortium to station one brigade in a stronghold during peacetime, while an independent regiment was enough for the weaker strongholds.
Only Stronghold 111 where Qing Zhen was located would have more fighting forces garrisoned there.
But it was different for Fortress 178. Since this was their only base, practically half of the fortress would be garrisoned by troops. Furthermore, the residents of the fortress and those living outside it, as well as some of the scattered settlements in the area, served the military as well.
