As soon as Lynch spoke, His Majesty the Emperor found himself unable to continue his speech.
The main reason for the lack of development in Amelia Province is that the nobility are unwilling to go there. On one hand, Amelia Province is a "concession," and in this world, the notion of a permanent concession lasting over a hundred years does not exist.
No matter how long the lease term of a concession is, when the time is up, the concession must be returned.
In other words, if the nobility were to invest a large amount of money to develop Amelia Province, then after one hundred and twenty years, when this region, which might surpass the Gafura Main Island economically, comes to the end of its term, it must be returned to its "original owner."
In that case, all those years of time, energy, and wealth would ultimately benefit others, and worse, to Gafura's rival nation, which is practically aiding the enemy.
