Schnee's losing money - they'll want to protect their remaining assets with bigger and badder robots than they had before, and they might be trying to recruit Hunters/Huntresses as well. They might even go directly after the White Fang, without Ozpin's blessing, and spark a new Human/Faunus conflict. Ever since Volume 1 ended I have been thinking the goal for Cinder has always been to create conflict for some alternative purpose. She obviously does not care one iota about the goals of the White Fang. I doubt she is in it for something as meager as war profiteering or even some trifling geopolitical objective either. Her mission, presumably from the true big bad, is more about the destruction than it is about the nature of the conflict. Of course, it is entirely possible it is some twisted bid for world peace. They provoke everyone into action by sending in the Grimm as they are mired in conflict, resulting in some sort of devastating defeat for all concerned, to get all the peoples of the world united so that they can confront the resurgent Grimm threat.
