As for now, we do not deem it wise to share the exact reasons of our struggle. I think it could even be dangerous to involve foreign groups into this in its nature so very internal conflict.
Especially when that foreign group was in open hostilities with the Kusari Republic. No offense.
We are a proud people, however we're not as ignorant as to deny that our goal will be difficult to achieve without help. If you prove that your intentions are pure you may gain our trust and we might tell you more.
May you be swift as a coursing river. Hideaki Ishikawa
