Therefore, once the forces exceeded one million, the exact number of a grand army became very difficult to estimate with precision, and at best, a rough estimate could be made.
The difference between two million and one million people was indeed hard to discern.
This also provided the basis for the various countries to engage in a certain degree of artistic exaggeration in their propaganda.
Those with audacity dared to increase the number of their troops by several times.
Those more cautious dared to double or even add half again as many.
Anyway, now, as long as countries went to war against each other, their forces were no less than one million.
With this foundation, they could propagate whatever they wanted without fear of being exposed.
It was only after a direct confrontation and measuring each other's capabilities that one could know how much the opponent had inflated their numbers.
