Chapter 266 The end of the war
On the day the army arrived outside the walls of Constantbul, the rain had completely passed, and the sky was extremely clear.

In the early morning of this day, the ancient city resounded with a song that shook the sky. Among countless falling petals, Prince Dragase in purple robes and Duke Wesson entered the city side by side. Behind them was a mighty and majestic army, and they arrived at the palace along the road. .

The Pope of the Church of Illuminati had already arrived in Constantbul on the Flying Tulip, and immediately presided over the enthronement ceremony for Dragases after he arrived at the palace.

The new emperor of the Dongpulan Empire is sitting on the throne, and the next is the time to reward his meritorious deeds.

The Duke of Wesson took the lead in doing his part. His Majesty Dragases canonized him as the Prince of Galata. The fiefdom is the Galata region across the strait from the city of Constantbul, with an area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers.

Next is the loyal ministers around Dragases. These people are divided into three groups. Those who follow the emperor before sending troops are the first group. It is the last gear that comes after death.

Finally, the meritorious people in Wesson's army, from the small Franz and Helmut in the command, to Alfred who wiped out the Gazi Empire fleet and Metzger who killed Phokas, they all received huge bounties and honorary titles.

Dragases spent half a month stabilizing the situation in Constantbul after he ascended the throne, and then set off with a newly recruited army to the west to ask the local landlords if they would support him.

The political game behind this has nothing to do with Frederick. Now his position is detached and sensitive, and someone has secretly encouraged him to kill Dragases and become emperor himself.

Frederick had no time to take care of these people, so he tied them up and sent them to Dragaces.

The most important thing for Frederick now is to spend more time with Mary.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." Mary said to Frederick. "The wind is right now. I'll go back to the territory by boat."

Frederick patted her on the back lightly, without saying anything to persuade her to stay.

Mary is equivalent to a "military observer". Now that the battle is over, it's time to go back.

Frederick said: "I will go to the Kingdom of Kush next, then travel to Linhai, then the Kingdom of Sardinia, and maybe the Helvetia Federation and the Kingdom of Gaul."

He has long wanted to take a walk around. Now that the second five-year plan in the territory has been arranged, the surrounding area will be peaceful for a while. It just so happens that he has traveled so far this time, so he will travel around by the way.

When he goes back, Wessen State will start to expand outwards, and at that time, we can't run around.

Mary leaned her face against Frederick's chest and whispered, "I want to go with you too, but Father's health is getting worse and worse..."

Frederick hugged her and said, "I can understand."

He no longer passed through the Osmarga Empire on this journey, and the status and status of the two were too sensitive, so it was not easy to see each other again.

On a fine morning, Mary kissed Frederick and boarded the boat without looking back.

It wasn't long before someone else was leaving.

Lilu said to Frederick: "I will go to sea in three days. I have discovered a golden route in the past few days, and I will make a fortune before anyone else discovers it!"

Frederick was helping her cut her hair, and he said after hearing this: "His Majesty the Emperor gave me a large sum of money, let me use all of it as capital, and put the extra money in the treasury for you to take as you please."

Dragases ransacked many rebels' homes after regaining Constantbul, and rewarded all the money he got, and Frederick naturally did not miss it.

Lilu asked him: "Don't you save some for yourself when traveling?"

Frederick replied: "I have saved some, enough, and I can still work halfway."

He decided to remain anonymous on this trip to avoid trouble, and he also brought some valuable gems with him in case of emergency.

Frederick continued: "If necessary, you can take the Lexington and Saratoga with you, and you can carry more cargo, which can be regarded as training at sea."

Now he also has a port of his own in the Galata area. In the future, the navy can only use this as a base, so the two flat-topped ships will not go back.

These days the navy is full of part-time pirates and sea merchants, so they are temporarily used by Lilu.

"Okay!" Lilu said, "I don't know how the Ghazi Empire will react now. Haireddin has formed an alliance with us. I can take this opportunity to set up my own chamber of commerce in the inner sea."

"Well." Frederick helped her brush the broken hair off her shoulders. "You have the final say on matters at sea. I put 1000 people in the Galata area, and you can mobilize 300 if necessary."

Li Lu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is this not good?"

She understands the sensitivity of military power very well. She is just a family businessman of the Wesson family. It is not in accordance with the rules to mobilize the army, even if she has another identity.

"It's okay." Frederick said, "I will build an armed protection chamber of commerce to train manpower for maritime combat, and then I will just follow this path."

"Next, the shipyard will produce more armed ships, and I will prioritize them for you."

"You can do things at sea. Money is not an issue, and force is not an issue. How much you can achieve is up to you."

Lilu nodded excitedly. Frederick has provided herself with so much support. If she can't do a great job, it will be unreasonable.

"Thanks," she whispered, "I thought you'd keep me in a cage."

Frederick just smiled and pinched Lilu's nose. He had never thought of this before. In his opinion, it is normal for a woman to have a career of her own.

Besides Lilu, he also planned to let Maria find something she liked to do, instead of just doing nothing like other ladies and wives, wasting time at tea parties and balls.

When Dragases came back with an armed parade, the Wesson army had all withdrawn except for the 1000 people deployed in the Galata area, and Frederick was leading a few people to dig holes in other people's gardens.

This mansion was bought by a big businessman a few years ago, and now he is doing business overseas, and only his grandma is at home.

When Dragases came here out of curiosity, Frederick was chatting and laughing with the grandmother.

The old grandma is over 90 years old this year. The neighbors joked that she is a story basket. Today, when Prince Wesson came to visit, she showed all her skills and the stories she told made His Royal Highness laugh from ear to ear.

Dragases came and asked Frederick: "What treasure are you digging for?"

Frederick replied with a smile: "This was originally Manuel's home. He hid his private money in the garden and didn't have time to take it away."

"This time he knew we were going to call back, so he asked Tony to bring back the private money."

While talking, Tony led the people to dig out several jars the size of fists, and there were some gold coins in each jar.

Dragases, who knew Manuel, couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
