(kinda got lost and confused here)

Giorgos and "Drazi" organises an attack on Bursa with 30,000 troops before the UNS arrives at it, they have to go through a bridge since there are few transports and most were recently built that were able to hold 400 each. It is enough for 3,600 but were fewer. Continous production to ships continue and many were from ports captured six months ago by Byzantines and is not primarily transport but allowed it to blockade Bursa and conquer the Marmara Sea except the Dardanelles Strait. In the Black Sea, little presence of the Byzantines were gained and ships head for Burgas.

Giorgos meet Prokopis in Constantinople, in exchange of being general, Giorgos had to pay him every two months to keep him but his other 'friends' join him as well. Propaganda continues to thrive and around 50,000, making it 110,000 in total (incl. starting). There is no salary but they pay money around ~5-6 coins per month for the elite ones, but at least 1 coin for the lower ones per month or even none. This angers some people since they really need money to fund themselves with but minting them takes a long time and costly and some were stolen from banks in Constantinople to keep funding themselves. With not enough food from the UNS' ECRL, they limit the supply to only soldiers, loyal rich people and the leaders who are Giorgos, Drazi, Prokopis and other leaders that can't be whom to name. This increases attrition to the army and at least 12,000 deserted by the end of the year.

Back to Bursa, the soldiers land on Bursa and the bridge route took at least 8-12 days to move, surrounding it temporarily in July to September and then besiege it. It gradually fell until December, at least 22,000 died in the siege and a batch of reinforcements arrived at the size of 7,000 in November. They looted food and supplies but not enough to satisfy with for the rest of the population and they needed more men to serve with. They also renamed Bursa to Prousa.

In Constantinople, around 50,000 men were barricading, along with 2,000 elites (52,000) and the army from Sofia was noticed when intel was stolen, they build barbed wires and 6ft trenches across the city, specifically on the western part of Constantinople and food is running low, ammunitions were nearly enough to supply a battle for twelve to nineteen days and 45,000 weapons are available for the army which meant any available materials here have to be used as weapons. There are tanks, however not many of them are here, they were captured and are only three dozen. However Constantinople needs its population to stretch out and have to found Kallipolis (in Gallipoli) later, which meant turning this town into a major city or some sort but they turn towards the rural population, rounding the loyal ones into the soon to be founded Kallipolis, with only 2,500 soldiers (due to manpower drops) guarding this fortress of Kallipolis. Giorgos orders the soldiers to the Greek front to pull back to the fortresses of Kallipolis, Constantinople or build trenches to mark the line and slow them down.
