Joe Ga wasn't organizing this kind of spectacle to boost morale and then send the locals to the front lines to fight.
The locals had more important things to do, which was to go to work seriously.
The faster Sangha Town developed, the less pressure Joe Ga would face.
As long as these people became property owners and got used to the presence of P·B, any future attempts by others to gain a foothold here would trigger local resistance.
P·B had in fact taken on the embryonic form of a warlord group, but Joe Ga had chosen to use the mildest means, standing from the local government's standpoint to guide and control the local sentiment.
Give them protection, give them jobs, give them the previously unattainable lifestyle, and they would become loyal supporters of P·B because without P·B they would lose everything they now had.
If it were just about fighting, Joe Ga wouldn't need the locals.
Although P·B's total force didn't exceed 700 people, P·B held the absolute initiative.
