After the Jieko Group occupied Jerusalem and subjected the city to a purge, its main forces continued advancing north and south, launching fresh offensives against the Jewish State's northern and southern territories.
With the fall of Jerusalem and Tewei City, the Jewish State had been cut in two by the Jieko Group, leaving its strategic situation in an awkward and desperate state.
On top of that, the Jewish State had suffered heavy casualties in Jerusalem, losing its twenty hundred thousand most elite troops.
Although the Jewish State still had several hundred thousand soldiers, the quality of those troops was even worse. Many had been hastily and forcibly conscripted.
The Jewish State's shortage of manpower had now reached an absurd level. Anyone wandering the streets—from teenagers as young as fifteen to old men of fifty, and even deaf-mutes or others with disabilities—had an excellent chance of being forcibly seized by recruiting officers and sent into the army as an "honorable" cannon-fodder soldier. This alone showed how severe the Jewish State's military shortage had become.
Yet in the face of the Jieko Group's fearsome might, the Jewish State truly had no other option besides increasing its troop numbers as much as possible.
A drowning man would clutch any straw that offered even the slightest chance of survival.
