Selina asked Jaiden foolishly. It seemed like the answer that Jaiden gave her was truly something that was unexpected.

"Do you think that even makes sense?"

Hearing her skeptical words, Jaiden just calmly spoke.

"I don't think there's anything that can't be done. The North has also developed a lot. They also have a lot of complaints with the Center. Besides most of the Northerners are gathered around the Leonhardts so if we can convince them, then everything will be fine."

"Ha... Even if we can persuade those beasts, wouldn't we become isolated once the North falls?"

"I don't think so. It's not only the North that has complaints about the Center. Isn't there one more place that's pissed off by the lack of support from the Center?"

"Ah... The West."

The West was a place that faced numerous borders and countries. It was a place where disputes and skirmishes always happened. Although it made huge money through trade, it was like a money sinkhole due to the money that they poured out to resolve the conflicts that they always experienced.

However, the current Central Politics did not have any political settlement with other countries. How could they even achieve a settlement with other countries when they themselves were in a political dispute. This situation was something that the West found frustrating. After all, conflicts would continue to rise in their area if the Center did not settle with the other countries.

"As long as we can achieve cooperation with the West with the backing of the forces from the North..."

"The East and the West can be reconnected through the North?"

"And it's not only the West. There are definitely some Lords in the East and the South that are unhappy with the Center. To be specific, the Eastern Merchant Union. They pay huge amounts of taxes to the Center every time but the Center's response to pirates has always been lukewarm. They might be unhappy with them too."

Selina looked at Jaiden as if she was asking if he knew something like that too. After pondering over his answer, she couldn't help but just nod heavily. She was just trying to listen to Jaiden's thoughts with a light heart but she heard a lot more things than what she initially thought she would hear. If she were able to write a paper based on what Jaiden had said, then she could get it to the Northern Command for a review.

'Although it's like a shot to the moon, there are still a few things that are worth examining.'

Selina easily figured out the possibility so she continued to ponder deeply before speaking to Jaiden.

"What you said today... Can I talk about it with other people?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Right. I understand. I've heard your thoughts on this well. I'll make sure to tell the military science professor too! Thanks!"
