The string puller is probably the same one who supplied them with those cannons. There's no way the General would've let them keep artillery when he was confiscating spirits.

Why would he want to forget the cannons? He's not going to come out as a hero if his forces are blown to bits while they climb a narrow path one at a time.

Because it looks more impressive if they win despite the odds, Makes him look like a brilliant commander

I'm guessing he wants to be honoured by the emperor or something, I'm guessing his current cushy job is shit or lacking glory since they tend to not war with people

Or he's just a racist bigot who wants to destroy the Sinack for not believing in Alderamin. He did say he wanted to 'purge' them. This theory coincides more with the theme of the arc, as well.

How would it tie in with the theme? They only just dropped that plot element in this very episode.....

If anything the theme is innate corruption in the empire causes people to be evil dicks

We learnt more about the spirit things and their religion in 5 minutes of dialogue than we have in seven episodes, What we have seen regularly is corruption in the empire and its family, Also that the common soldiers are fed up with their bullshit
