Shire is not concerned about Kobudo's traps.
At most, Shire cooperates with Kobudo in interviews to continue increasing his popularity and support rate in the Merit Newspaper.
But these interviews have nothing to do with the airport or incorporating army airplanes, instead they shift the focus to frontline supplies, such as Shire continuing to donate marching blankets and socks to the frontline, as well as food, cigarettes, and other supplies.
Kobudo even revealed in several articles that: Shire has no interest in incorporating army airplanes, believing that it's about the quality of troops rather than the quantity. He possesses the world's highest quality elite flying unit, and adding rabble would only be a hassle.
Kobudo understands human nature. He knows that "seeking help" and "being sought" are entirely different, although both involve incorporating army airplanes.
