Roman is clearly preparing for some sort of war or battle. He is ammassing personnell, war materials, and mapping out positions. Beacon, being the location of presumably the most powerful soldiers in the city and a lot of powerful soldiers in training, is a key target to take down and would require all he could get.

If we presume the arrows signify routes of attack or infiltration, then the arrow from the "upper class" district suggests he has some wealthy backer or backers. The prospect of a kidnapping scheme against Weiss is certainly interesting, though I doubt that would be the totality of his plot if it is a factor. That could mean a competitor with the SDC is Roman's silent partner. Crimson would presumably be part of some group that brokered the partnership for its own interests and she is there to keep tabs.

That can still bring in the White Fang as the group or members thereof could be the front for such a scheme. However, I imagine this would either be using a rogue or splinter group or simply duping the organization. Of course, that doesn't rule out some member, such as Adam, being aware of the real motives and going along with it in the hopes of exploiting the situation.
