The situation Leonard Churchill had deduced was actually not much different from Catherine Carter's thoughts.
The Alliance Army wanted to close the power gap in the war against the Southern Continent, and machinery technology was currently the only choice.
However, the mass production of Mechanical Battle Armor required large high-precision factories and Mechanical Drawings, and right now most of these critical resources were in the East Wilderness.
Also, the Song Family was a very important element in the development of machinery technology.
Given the nature of the Orlan Royal Family, no matter how many times Leonard Churchill had performed his deductions, he could not see them having any chance of victory.
Moreover, he didn't think a king who could sacrifice everyone to contribute to his Law of Fear could lead the card masters of the East Wilderness to win the war.
Leonard Churchill wasn't interested in who held power; he just didn't like it.
