"You do realize of course that the Farmer's Alliance as a political party has been banned in Kusari, and those openly showing support for the Farmers face arrest. You ask me to put my most vulnerable supporters in the hands of the enemy with no protection. The AFA has been forced underground by the coup. While there are many in Kusari, especially in Kyushu who gladly put their lives on the line at my say, what kind of leader would I be if I put my people in that position? The reason we have gone underground is to protect those people. How will I protect these people brother?"
"On top of that, you want the supporters of the Farmers to support you? Explain to me how it is in the Farmers interests to do this?"
