"Commendation Order
All members of the Duchy of Wesson Shipbuilding Committee and all participants in the construction of cornflower-class general ships:
Recently, in order to respond to the marine strategic needs of the Principal of Wesson and ensure that the construction tasks of cornflower-class general ships are delivered on schedule, all participants will overcome multiple challenges such as tight time, heavy tasks, and high technical difficulties with unprecedented sense of honor and mission, carry forward the spirit of struggle of "not afraid of difficulties, continuous combat", and fight continuously for 165 days and nights, ten earlier than the original plan Five days successfully completed the construction tasks of the "Flying Tulip" and "Flying Cornflower" Cornflower-class general ships, built an unprecedented advanced ship, creating a record of the shortest construction cycle of ships with the same tonnage, demonstrating the outstanding strength and fighting spirit of the shipbuilding industry of the Principal of Weisen!
The smooth delivery of the Cornflower-class general ship not only provided key equipment support for the rapid development of the Principal of Weisen, but also trained the team, mastered the construction technology of the most advanced ships in the world today, and wrote a new chapter in the history of world navigation.
In order to commend the advanced and promote the spirit of struggle, it was decided to give the following units and individual honor certificates and bonuses:
(omitted)"
Frederick's personal commendation order was sent from Le Havre to Wesenberg City by telegram, and then appeared on Frederick's desk through local newspapers.
The sea breeze from the north became colder and colder, and Frederick no longer went out to do activities, stayed at his residence every day, sometimes invited theater troupes or bands to perform, sometimes invited guests to have tea, and sometimes silent when he looked at the sea.
That day he sat on the balcony, looking at the churning sea, and for a long time he didn't speak.
Maria walked behind him, held her shoulders with her hands, and asked softly, "Do you miss them?"
Frederick knew something, Frederick knew Maria knew, but that was absolutely unrecognizable.
So Frederick said, "I'm wondering when the ship will arrive."
Maria followed his words and said, "Many people want to see what the ship is like, and it's worth your reward order."
Frederick said, "You invite some people who don't understand the ship, about ten people, and get on the ship to visit."
"Don't invite in advance, and don't let the news. Just go and get it when you mention it at the salon."
Maria thought for a while and said, "Then I'll hold a literary salon to let those writers board the ship."
She heard from the conversation just now that Frederick doesn't want people to know more details of the new ship, so he just lets laymen board the ship and take a look at it to satisfy some people's curiosity.
"Is this a bit contradictory?" Maria still didn't understand. "You have created such a great momentum for the new ship, but you keep it so confidential."
Frederick shook his head and said, "It is not contradictory to promote the secret recipe of Happy Water and Happy Water."
"The current situation at sea is undercurrent, so I throw a stone into the water to see what I can hit."
"By the way, in a while, around the New Year, when there are new books in the best-selling series, try to put the new warships of the Kingdom of Angles in."
"There are related data in the military, and it's about twice. It seems that we know this is the case, but many of them rely on random thoughts."
Maria said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of exposing spies?"
She is not familiar with spies, but the novel has a plot to push back the spy's identity through leaked intelligence content, so she is a little worried.
Frederick shook his head and said, "It's okay, the Kingdom of Gaul knows it."
"Let's stimulate them, maybe they have ships hidden."
Maria said, "I guess there will be a great shipbuilding era next, and new ships will replace old ships."
"How big do you think the ships can be built in the future?"
Frederick said, "If all of them are made of steel, hundreds of thousands of tons are not a problem."
Maria's mathematics was OK, but at this time she counted it with her fingers and sighed, "That's equivalent to a thousand new ships now, it's simply a sea city!"
"Oh, I don't know if I can see such a big ship in my lifetime." Frederick said, "We can't see it, maybe Grandma Psych can see it."
Maria thought it made sense.
When talking about Psyke, Maria whispered, "Why don't you find it strange to have Teacher Psyke live for so long?"
She has been thinking about this question since she was a child, but she has never dared to ask. Now she is far away from Wesenburg City and dares to ask Frederick.
Frederick also whispered: "Don't pursue too much about some things. She is not a human. Just know what you know. Don't talk nonsense."
Maria twisted his ears angrily. If Psych used some kind of magic to extend his life, then she believed it. How could it be possible to say it was not a human unless...
"Is she an angel of the God of Light?" Maria thought of a possibility.
Frederick said seriously: "She may be the niece of the God of Light."
Maria knocked his head angrily again. This statement of blasphemy about God of Light would be troublesome if it was spread and someone used it for a essay.
Frederick no longer continues the topic of Psych and said, "Next, the Ministry of Culture will increase its publicity on navigation. The previous story of the guild alliance can be used as the focus, and the content will be communicated with the Chamber of Commerce."

Frederick had previously instructed to create a batch of works about the ocean, and now he has increased his efforts. Maria couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to accelerate the development to the sea?"
The acceleration she said was at the national policy level, not as simple as accelerating the construction of several ships, but tilting the funds that made other countries feel trembling.
Frederick nodded and said, "Yes, I have been studying the maritime policies and intelligence of the Kingdom of Angland these days, and I can feel that they are starting to make efforts."
"I am a little worried that their next goal is also the Southern Continent."
Because of the United Fruit Company's development of the southern coast of the Inland Sea, many people have begun to turn over old paper piles and re-examine the Southern Continent.
Frederick had a feeling that Psych suddenly asked him to go there, just to remind him of this matter in a different way.
The Duchy of Weisen is still too small, and the surrounding areas have not been solved, and there is no spare effort to carry out large-scale overseas expansion.
Maria said seriously: "Then you have to bring more gold, seduce more queens, and let them bid...ah!"
Frederick grabbed her from behind and scratched her for two minutes.
"Ahem..."
A servant came to disturb him and sent a telegram, and Frederick asked Mary to read it. "Lilu sent it." Maria said, "The two ships are currently being tried between Amster and Hanma City. Everything is normal. It is expected that Le Havre City will be replenished in ten days."
Frederick thought for a while and said, "Call back, food can be prepared here, but beer cannot be bought here, otherwise the crew will riot!"
Maria nodded seriously. Garlic beer or something, it's so terrible!
