Lord of Industrialization

In mid-May, the situation on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Danma suddenly calmed down.

The Kingdom of Sverriers completely occupied Lanci Island and some important islands around it, then stopped the offensive and sent peace envoys.

In the city of Hanma, Frederick was preparing his luggage and was pulled by Count Pisto to study the war situation.

"I haven't left so fast yet, I just live in the manor first." Frederick was a little helpless, "I will leave after the advance team arrives in two days."

It is not so easy for the more than 10,000 troops of the 1st Division of the Wessen Army and the attached cavalry and magic regiments to set off. The headquarters and staff team led by little Franz went ahead to prepare for the next action.

Frederick has a huge manor outside the city, which is the spoils of the Battle of the Elbe River. The house in the city has an independent telegraph station, so it is used as a headquarters, and he will go to the manor first.

He can be regarded as a world-famous person. In the past few days, people who want to see him for various reasons have crowded a street in Hanma City. The next trip needs to be covered in the manor.

Count Pisto breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Frederick was still there.

Although he could see that this was a delaying tactic of Kosdorf, he still had to find a more professional person to confirm it.

As a result, Frederick said: "How do I know what Kosdorf is thinking. There was no intelligence about this war beforehand. They even avoided the best season in winter when the sea was frozen and the horses could walk directly across the sea. Who knows what their goal is."

Count Pisto's original confidence was shaken.

Frederick continued: "It is also easy to find out their purpose. You can collect intelligence on the transportation of materials in their ports. If they are hoarding a large amount of logistics materials, then they have to continue fighting."

No matter where, war will be restricted by logistics.

The current war mode is also the same. Basically, they hoard a wave of materials, then fight a big battle, and withdraw their troops when the materials are gone.

So the landlords here have to build castles, betting that an enemy will run out of food and retreat before capturing the castle.

The same is true for wars at the national level. Wheat is harvested in summer, a big battle is fought in autumn, and winter and spring rest, and small-scale battles occur.

Frederick had asked the Dawn Chamber of Commerce and the Steamed Bun Bureau to start collecting relevant information, and then hand it over to little Franz.

Count Pisto thought that this was indeed the truth, so he prepared to let the merchants he was familiar with collect intelligence. Some things would be easier to handle by himself.

Two days later, little Franz came to Hanma City with the advance team. Frederick told him some precautions and moved to the manor.

A few days later, Frederick asked the Dawn Chamber of Commerce to send away the women sent by Kosdorf, and told Kosdorf to continue the business.

These women were carefully interrogated by Frederick several times when they were sent. Those female slave warriors were not undercover, and they did whatever the master told them to do.

So he gave these people to Catherine with peace of mind. Now Catherine wants to recruit troops for revenge, and they can be guards.

The two princesses of the Kingdom of Piast are real princesses, because their magic talents were hidden by the previous king and they practiced hard.

They planned to pull down their eldest brother Casimir and become queens themselves, but their political wisdom was almost zero, and they were framed and murdered their father.

If it weren't for their high status, their graves would be covered with grass now, and they wouldn't even have a chance to be sold.

Kosdorf bought these two treasures and kept them well. They didn't seem to be tortured, so that they could sell them at a good price.

He also named the two princesses "Banana" and "Watermelon" respectively. These two fruits produced in the southern continent are sold at a very high price in the north.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. The two princesses are now like walking corpses.

There was no spirit in their eyes that were originally like golden gems. Like salted fish, they did whatever they were told and almost never took the initiative to do anything.

Frederick even suspected that if they were told not to breathe, they would suffocate themselves.

That day, a carriage drove into the manor, and soon Frederick called Banana and Watermelon to the living room.

Frederick sat on the sofa reading a letter, with a rough wooden box in front of him, one of which had been opened.

He wrote a letter to Casimir not long ago, asking if the two were real.

Casimir thought that the two of them were being used as playthings in the dark land, but he didn't expect that they would be in Frederick's hands intact.

In his reply, he implicitly stated that there was no such princess in the Kingdom of Piast, but he did have a pair of twin sisters.

Frederick understood that Casimir wanted to rely on them to get closer to him, but was afraid that he would use their identities to influence the Piast royal family, so he recognized their blood identity and deprived them of their political rights.

At the same time, Casimir hoped to purchase a batch of hunting rifles at the end of the letter to deal with the looting of the Kingdom of Sverie.

For this reason, he sent a box of gifts. After Frederick opened it, he took a few pieces to see that Catherine's name on them was not worn off. I don't know if it was robbed, or it implies that he knows Catherine is on his side.

Frederick put this matter aside and planned to let those female warriors take it to Catherine.

"You two come and sit down." He patted the sides of the sofa and asked Banana and Watermelon to come and sit down.

Frederick had not yet figured out how to deal with these two people in the end. It was one thing for Casimir to deprive them of their political rights. When he really needed it, he could kill Casimir and then have a child with one of them to inherit the throne of the Piast Kingdom.

The two wooden people went over and sat down.

Frederick said to them: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Banana and Watermelon shook their heads together.

Frederick raised his hands to hold their shoulders and pulled them into his arms and said: "You also know that I keep my word."

As he spoke, his hands began to become restless, and Banana and Watermelon's breathing began to gradually become heavier.

"You can choose what you want to do in the future." Frederick's expression became serious, "I will fully consider your requests and agree to them reasonably, just like I will stop when you say no, and continue only when you say yes."

The sisters thought of their experiences in the past few days, their faces suddenly turned red like ripe apples, their bodies softened, and there was an imperceptible change in their eyes.

Frederick continued: "I will arrange two places for you, one is in Constantine City, and the other is far south. You can choose one to start a new life there."

Now he didn't want to fall out with Casimir, and he estimated that Casimir would not be at ease to let them live well, so he sent them farther away.

Banana whispered, "I will follow the master's arrangement."

Watermelon also said, "We will go wherever the master tells us to go."

Frederick shook his head and said, "I want to listen to your opinions."

How could he know that the two dared to have their own opinions now? Although their bodies were well maintained after being sold, the cruel torture on their minds was unprecedented, so that the two had mental problems.

Frederick didn't know about this, but he noticed that their eyes would change when they were excited. He wondered if they had mental problems because of the huge gap in status after the failure of the political struggle, and closed their hearts. They only opened their hearts slightly when their minds were a little confused?

So he took out a mushroom brought back from the north, put it in the teapot to make tea and fed them two.
