For Science !

Joke aside, in his own words and assuming he is speaking earnestly with his interlocutor, he is interested in seeing: "the True Thorn in the hands of an Irregular". (1)

That may rise questions as why not take it for himself, but perhaps he would not become a Living Ignition Weapon. He does not strike me a the kind of guy who would volunteer for the guinea pig position.

Why give it to FUG: from Hwa Ryun words, they had been waiting for an "affordable" Irregular for quite some time. Jinsung even tells Yu Han Sung he would have done anything to convert Urek, which might imply (or may not) that when Urek got in, FUG had their scheme already in place but Urek was beyond their power.

Gustang may have known that, and therefore knew that the best way to witness (1) was to have FUG get the Thorn. My somewhat weak argument would be that he is known for his glasses, the symboll of the 20th Floor looks like a pair of glasses, it figures on Love sweatshirt and the latter has passed a test in Gustang association. All these words, to say that Augusgus directing tests there might not be beyond Gustang knowledge.

About the Big Why, we may have to wait for some time; according to the blog Posts of Season 2 chapter 28 and 108, not before Season 3 or 4...

Your welcome.

Though only the first paragraph is canon. The rest is speculation.

There are theories about some members of the Zahard Empire conspirating against it, using FUG as their proxy/puppet to achieve either their own goals or upset the current order (eg revenge for Enne indeed). But I do not remember where I have read about them (most likely bato.to, but it is quite vast and the search function is somewhat lacking).
