Why did the king allow for the survey corps to exist?
Idk if this was already discussed in this sub. But I do think it’s strange king Fritz allowed for the survey corps to actually be allowed to be created following the creation of the walls. If he went through the pain of erasing everyone’s memory to believe there aren’t any humans beyond the walls, why would he not stop the creation of a military branch who’s whole objective is to go outside the walls to learn more about the secrets of this world. If they had reached the shore and found ships with other humans (marleyans), that would create havoc within the walls and ultimately lead to the fall of the kings dynasty and control over it’s people.
I understand that he could just erase their memory again and start over but imo it would be easier to just not allow the creation of the survey corps lol
