Shire did not rush to contact Kobudo; he maintained necessary caution about it.
Shire knew that venturing into the press industry meant telling everyone that he was establishing his own faction, which could lead to a series of troubles.
Take, for example, Steed, who controlled Saint Etier; his relationship with Shire was still unclear: Was Saint Etier genuinely intending to form an alliance with Shire, or did they want to recruit Shire to serve them?
If it was the former, and Saint Etier already regarded Shire as a "player," then there would be no issue.
But if it was the latter, and Saint Etier only wanted to use Shire as a "pawn," they would certainly not want to see Shire form his own faction.
By then, the newly formed alliance would break, and Shire would once again find himself awkwardly facing all the capitalists alone.
This was something the military could not solve, and even winning a battle would change nothing.
