"So the war has started, hasn't it?"
Some things can be openly discussed, while others can only be implied.
Over at New Tokyo, even before Lu Ping'an returned, they were already howling with fervor due to the "battle merit in exchange for land" policy.
They are too eager to progress.
"They don't have the guts to fight back onto their homeland, but if they could seize the Leduc Peninsula (North and South Korea) to establish an exiled state, not only do they have the idea and the guts, but it's also a large-scale plan..."
Fighting back to the homeland, even if recovering a part of the territory, would mean facing a scenario of being across the sea from the Eastern Country, a bottomless pit where the more you invest, the more you lose.
But if they take down Leduc Peninsula, which connects to both Eastern Country and Red Star, they could directly link up railway routes with New Tokyo, ensuring that reinforcements wouldn't be cut off anytime soon.
