Lord of Industrialization

It rained for a day and a night. As soon as the rain stopped, Frederick was "invited" to a manor by the lake outside Pearl City by a person who called himself "Princess Salad".

In the following days, the entire Madeira Kingdom began to "be in flames" from Pearl City, and gradually spread. Walking on the road, you can see several columns of smoke rising to the sky every few kilometers.

The effect seems to be good. Frederick fished by the lake for a month and found that the lake water rose from the soles of his feet to the height of his knees.

During this month, he was under semi-house arrest. He could walk around Pearl City and the surrounding areas at will, but he could not approach the hunting camps with more and more flags.

Frederick entered the tourism mode. Every day, he watched people farming and herding sheep outside the city, went to the vegetable market in the city, looked at the commercial street, enjoyed the opera, tasted the food, and solved a long-lasting case.

This case is a typical area dispute in land transactions. It is an irregular piece of land with two curved rivers on the north and south borders. No one can give a convincing method to measure the land area. The lawsuit has been going on for three generations.

So Frederick talked to the judge's sister about the method of measuring land after a salon. Draw the plot on the board according to the proportion, cut it out, cut the square of unit area, and then use the weight to calculate the area of ​​the land.

That day, the Ortiz sisters came to say goodbye to him, and they finally got the chance.

In the evening, Ortiz whispered to Frederick: "How can you interfere in that case."

Frederick asked her: "Is there anything special about that case?"

Ortiz said: "Of course, otherwise why would it drag on for so many years."

"The plaintiff and the defendant are backed by the royal family and the church respectively. In the past, the side that the judge favored would win, and the losing side would appeal to the judge on their side."

Frederick understood what was going on and said with a smile: "That's none of my business."

He had no connection with the local royal family or the church, and it didn't matter to him which side won.

Ortiz said again: "Don't you have enough to do?"

"His Majesty Dos used the rain to win over the nobles. The church now says that you are the lost child of Mother Earth and now you have returned home."

"You are now a sheep. The royal family is pulling the front leg and the church is pulling the back leg. In the end, you will be torn apart."

"It doesn't matter if you die, but what if you implicate me and my sister?"

Frederick pinched her and said: "Then you should go to the new territory quickly and hide far away."

Ortiz sighed and said: "I can only do this."

"My new territory is a very remote small place. To the west is the Endless Sea. I can only fish at ordinary times."

"That's good. I can stay away from the right and wrong places."

Frederick kept a watchful eye after this and found that when he was in Pearl City, the road he took was far away from the church.

He didn't care. Recently, he accidentally heard a piece of news that the time for the Kingdom of Madeira to send troops was postponed for one month because of artificial rainfall.

When the day of sending troops approached, Frederick finally waited for the other party's sugar-coated cannonballs.

In a bedroom in the home of the Minister of War, Daniela, the daughter of the Minister of War, panted and asked Frederick: "Are you so fierce in war?"

Frederick said proudly: "That's for sure."

Daniela asked again: "Why are you so fierce?"

Frederick answered truthfully: "Because we eat well, soldiers can eat 1000 grams of bread, 350 grams of meat, 60 grams of fat, 200 grams of beans, 350 grams of fresh vegetables, or 70 grams of dehydrated vegetables every day, and the rest are salt, sugar, ketchup, juice, tea, dried fruits, etc., and there are additional 200 to 400 grams of canned meat or 50 to 100 grams of cheese when they go out on missions."

Daniela's stepmother next to her said in surprise: "They eat so much, my brothers and sisters don't eat so well in the Knights!"

Frederick said as a matter of course: "That's for sure, because our commander has a lot of money."

No one can refute this reason, everyone knows that Grand Duke Wessen is rich.

Frederick thought they would continue to ask, but the topic soon turned to the fashion trends in Weissenburg.

The next day, the finance minister's sister invited Frederick to go horseback riding by the lake. When they were resting in the flowers, she casually asked: "You are such a good rider, there must be a lot of war horses in the army, right?"

Frederick whispered in her ear: "How could such precious war horses be shipped all the way here by ship? Many pack horses died along the way. If a war horse died, it would be heartbreaking, so we didn't bring any war horses."

On the third day, the two granddaughters of the head of the royal magic group invited Frederick to study the magic of ice and fire. During the period, they asked: "Where is the head of your magic group from? Which family's predecessors are they?"

Frederick shook his head and said, "There are no family predecessors. They are all civilians who graduated from school and came here to make military achievements." On the fourth day, the daughter of a Knights' Grand Master invited Frederick to her home martial arts training ground to practice a few moves. She said in the bathroom, "You roared so loudly just now."

Frederick was applying medicine to her and said, "There is no way. During the battle, communication basically relies on shouting. It won't work if your voice is not loud."

...

Pieces of intelligence continued to gather in the camp outside the city, and the nobles who commanded the troops analyzed them one by one.

"Their food is so good, the logistics pressure should be very high."

"I guess Suarez paid a high price to hire them. Such consumption is enough for Suarez to bear."

"I think we can suggest to His Majesty that the march be slower so that they can consume more food."

"It makes sense. The people on Suarez's side must have complained about such a huge consumption. We arrived late. They must think that Wesson's army is just eating and not working. Conflicts arise."

"You can also send people in advance to spread the news that we will not send troops at all, which will aggravate the conflict."

…

"They don't have war horses? Is it false news?"

"It can't be fake, she used the truth mushroom."

"It's also possible that they are here to earn military glory. It's enough to take the heads of fellow villagers at the border to make up for their numbers. When our army arrives, we only need to rely on the defense line for defense and will not take the initiative to attack."

"It makes sense, so they just need to focus on defense and not fight back."

"So what about the Osmaga Empire? They have been silent recently."

"I have a guess that the Wesen Army has been looting our border villages to attract us there, and then the Osmaga Empire's army unexpectedly attacked our flank."

"That makes sense. We can set up traps on the flanks and wait for them to come over."

…

"Are the mages all civilian students?"

"This must be fake news. Without family inheritance, what can they learn?"

"They used expensive truth mushrooms, so they can't go wrong."

"It's not surprising. Wesson's army doesn't even have war horses. It must be focused on defense. It's enough that those incompetent magicians can activate the layout of the fortress and make defensive arrangements."

"Indeed."

…

"What do you mean by roaring for communication? Don't they have the power to communicate?"

"That machine is so expensive, maybe they don't have it in the company?"

"We have overlooked one thing. There is also a war in the north of the Rhine League. Archduke Wesson should mobilize all the main forces to the north, but he cannot refuse what he promised Suarez earlier, so he mobilized some weak troops to make do."

"You're right. I heard before that the Weisen Army has very strict military discipline and it is impossible to sell supplies to us."

"That's right. That Baron Potter is probably just a playboy. His identity and background may be true or false. He may have learned something at Weisenberg University before he knew how to make rain."

"That's right. His horse riding skills are average. The bald man's daughter almost hurt him and he forced him to stop him before he hurt himself. His skills in dealing with women are beyond the level of a sword master. I'm afraid he was brought in by his family to earn military merit."

"And their commander, named Eugene, is from the Kingdom of Gaul. I think he was sent here because he was ostracized by the old people around Archduke Wesson."

…

"Your Majesty, to sum up, the Weisen Army is just here to make a small fuss, so we don't need to worry."
