We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do, meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans are defeated by rapid flexibility. The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is, do you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job that'll help us go faster. Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to reclaim?
