Franz had clearly put a great deal of effort into his analysis. He was afraid Hubble might overestimate his own importance and stubbornly insist on making a name for himself in the military.

With his abilities, it was impossible for him to break the rules.

Putting aside the pros and cons of institutions and even Unspoken Rules, they were unquestionably capable of stabilizing the situation.

Therefore, if Hubble wanted to make a breakthrough, he could only transfer to a local administrative post.

If he stepped back, he could at least accomplish something in a city or region. If he put down roots, he could also preserve his family's influence.
