Kobudo moved quickly; he chose to rent a factory building opposite Eric's aircraft manufacturing plant to set up the "Merit Newspaper Company."
The reason for choosing this location was firstly because the 20th district and the 19th district of Paris both belonged to poor areas, where the rent was cheap and workers could be hired at low cost.
On the other hand, Kobudo also considered Shire.
With the companies close together, if Shire wanted to visit or inspect, he would only need to go to one place, not run back and forth between two.
Shire liked subordinates who planned ahead for themselves; he considered this very thoroughly.
Gallieni's attitude was similar to Shire's; they both didn't care much about the newspaper company itself, but more about the newspaper and how much impact it could have within the army.
