Kobudo's propaganda strategy has achieved tremendous success on the frontline.
Stimulated by breaking news and deliberate guidance from frontline officers, the grenade tutorial quickly spread and became the hottest equipment on the frontline for a time.
It is said that soldiers rotating back from the frontline must have successfully thrown a few grenades into enemy trenches; otherwise, they would be embarrassed to say they had been on the frontline.
The promotion of the Merit Newspaper among civilians was also quite successful.
This was mainly because it was the only newspaper with precise reports from the military... All other newspapers speculated on battles based on existing information and then pieced together their stories.
Only the Merit Newspaper was told firsthand by Shire, the commanding officer in the battle, and Gallieni also appeared in it, adding his support. Additionally, it featured interviews with soldiers, photos, and reflections.
