Simply put, before the Second Southern Subcontinent War, the basic strategy of Fanluo Country was to eliminate Bakistan and complete the grand unification plan, focusing on offensive in the defense force construction. However, as Bakistan allied with the Liangxia Empire and joined the Eastern Group, the way to unify the Southern Subcontinent through war was no longer feasible, and the military threat from the Liangxia Empire suddenly put Fanluo Country in a predicament surrounded by enemies, requiring adjustments in military strategy.
A strategy primarily based on defense naturally has no reason to strengthen the infrastructure in border areas.
After the collapse of the border defense line, poor road conditions will become the number one enemy of invading forces in Fanluo Country!
From this perspective, it's not hard to understand why the Fan Army didn't deploy the main forces stationed in Jodhpur, but instead transferred troops northward from Udaipur.
