LOL... But, just bring up the point that back then the immediate climate after the war would have been tense still at best and strategically speaking you wouldn't want that much of your major population centres close to the front.

Russians did do the same thing in the WWII. They moved all the factories and people supporting them from close to Moscow/Stalingrad to behind the Urals... 6+ million people in the industrial centres. Plus with the amount of devastation to the cities and with lots of people having already fled south, maybe rebuilding further south wouldn't have been a bad idea.
