I thought of that, too, but isn't it a little odd for 2010? The Emperor has a lot of princes to spare, sure, but they don't really need the gesture if they were already gobbling up land right and left. If anything, an outwards gesture of friendship/trust plus putting themselves on bases everywhere surrounding Japan is a little suspect. You'd think Japan would see right through it. And they didn't need to do so if Knightmare Frames were so crushing.
Hey, that's possible. They could be spying by opening up a school, perhaps act as an equipment provider during the war. (This is assuming they DID opened the school in pre-imperial Japan) Ambassadors would require they replace the current ones stationed in Japan, and that seems a little excessive as a message. Unless they're there to facilitate whatever deal the Emperor wanted to make. But then again, what deal is cheap enough for two useless children?
