[Star Wars] Should the Naboo have been suspicious when the Gungans put together a well organised and equipped land army in an afternoon? Who exactly were the Gungans planning to fight before the Trade Federation showed up?

So in the Phantom Menace, after a little encouragement Boss Nass, calls his banners and immediately has a large well organised and equipped land army at his disposal. They are armed with shields and weapons capable of putting up at least some fight against the Trade Federation, who are much stronger than the Naboo guard. An army like that must have taken years of training and manufacture to put together. Who were they planning to use it against? It can't go into Space so was it for other Gungans? Or should the Naboo be a little suspicious of their allies in the swamps?

This is a bit like asking if Mexico should be suspicious of the United States' military. Probably yes, but there isn't a lot they can do about it.

The Gungans have a proud military tradition, and (prior to the Battle of Naboo) were pretty xenophobic. Their army was also more of a militia than a standing army, its primary role was to stop the bigger fish from trashing their city. In addition to that, the Gungans (again, prior to the Trade Federation getting involved) weren't really allied with the Naboo. The two groups were only allies in the sense that the Gungans didn't care enough about the Naboo to wipe them out.
