Humans are not lambs to be slaughtered, nor are the undead and natural disasters.
Although the two sides entered a strategic stalemate in Andorhal, the war still swept everyone.
Although Carlos firmly believes that the Alliance still has the upper hand in terms of absolute power, others don't seem to see it that way.
The more people have experienced pain, the more they hate and fear the undead and natural disasters.
So the brave people rise up to resist, and the cowardly people escape anyway.
What about speculators?
If you can't beat it, just join.
There is no shame in kneeling down to survive. If you die...if you die, you will become an undead kneeling tribe. Think about it and you will be a little happy, hehe.
Therefore, the originally suppressed situation of the Cursed Sect has changed, and its scope of activities has even expanded to Elwynn Forest, and Stormwind City is not immune.
The people at the bottom have no doubts about the terror and inhumanity of the natural disaster's minions, but they are suspicious of Carlos's "I Can Turn" doctrine.
This has caused great obstacles to the alliance's unified strength.
Under Carlos's control, the Kingdom of Alterac escaped its original destiny of being liquidated. It transformed from a defeated country to a victorious country, from a small mountain country with a population of 200,000 to one that occupies the entire Alterac Plateau, Kyle, and the Alterac Plateau. Darrow County, Andorhal region, half of the Hillsbrad region has a population of 800,000.
Logically speaking, we should be familiar with this kind of population expansion.
You see, 200,000 becomes 800,000, just four times.
Now they only fully control the remaining half of Hillsbrad. The territory has not increased much, and the population has only increased from 800,000 to 2 million. The population has only increased by 2.5 times. Compared with the previous Four times is a long way off.
What a joke... what a piece of shit!
The administrative system is about to collapse, okay! ! !
The influx of huge numbers of refugees almost destroyed the original political ecology of the Kingdom of Alterac.
The massive demand for supplies is about to overwhelm the Barov family's nearly exhausted inventory.
Carlos asked his father if there was any way to solve this problem. Grand Duke Alex looked at his son with the look of "I am not your biological father, please get out of here" and said slowly and heavily.
"Expand the army."
"ha?"
It wasn't that Carlos was being cute, but that he really felt like he was hearing hallucinations.
Resuming production and expanding the army without cleanliness?
In Carlos's understanding, as long as he gathers the existing military power in his hands, it will be enough to defeat the undead natural disasters. The best option is to convert other populations into productive forces as soon as possible.
Expanding the army is really unnecessary.
So the old father counted the kinship relationships between the fleeing nobles and the Barov family to Carlos one by one.
Then Carlos analyzed the regional affordability.
Finally, he talked about the power-loving circle of his wife Calia Menethil.
So Carlos understood that the remnants of feudalism were killing people.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron left behind not only a rich legacy, but also a heavy burden.
The contractual relationship between the king, lords and subjects will not be invalidated due to the fall of the territory.
Unless Carlos allows the Scourge of the Undead to completely destroy the social order of the entire Lordaeron region, the interconnectedness within the Alliance will be the biggest obstacle.
What does this mean? Looking at the history of mankind in Azeroth, we, Alterac, died by force alone?
"So we can only expand the army?"
Carlos asked a little stupidly.
"Yes, six hundred thousand."
I beat you...
"There were too many casualties in this disaster, including the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, and the majority of survivors were young adults. Only by grasping at least 600,000 young adults can we have the possibility of stabilizing the situation."
Alex explained that military-first politics, thanks to his careless king's son, the regent Grand Duke of Auckland, was very skilled.
"We can't sustain it."
Carlos shook his head, not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't even think about it.
"Then drive these refugees out of our territory."
"This is impossible."
"Then expand the army. Expanding the army can last for three months. If we don't expand the army, we will cause trouble at most for one month."
Carlos's base was just that big. How many rounds of purges did it take Alterac to achieve its current superficial stability? He didn't believe that he could rule two million monsters and monsters with his own name.
"Resuming production is the first priority."
"Whose output belongs to this problem? You are the king of Alterac, not the emperor of the Alliance."
Yes, finally the skin of human nature has been torn off and the cold interests have been touched.
One problem that was not handled well was the crowding out of the remaining more than one million refugees by Carlos' Alterac base of 800,000 people.
You ask, where are the more than 200,000 people gone?
Of course, it is the half of Hillsbrad that does not belong to Alterac but has a natural quarrel with the Barov family.
"It would be great if I were the protagonist in it, and I didn't have to worry about these evil spirits, and I could easily mobilize an army of millions with just a wave of my hand."
Listening to Carlos' nonsense, Alex poured his son a glass of wine.
"I won't scare you anymore. Two hundred thousand. Let's expand the army. Take away all the thorns and use the rest to suppress our own people."
"Father, what are your plans?"
Carlos had been away from politics for too long. Two million people were involved, and he didn't dare to come up with an idea out of the blue.
"Relief, bonds, military control, farming, there is no such thing as a good idea, just the routine process of disaster relief, and the coordination of domestic and foreign interest disputes. Son, do you know what a terrible workload this is?"
"How about I give you the crown."
"Snapped."
Carlos received a slap on the head.
So he smiled happily. His father's hard work was true. Isn't this his original dream?
After hugging his father, Carlos was ready to leave. He didn't have much free time.
"The plan for industrialization can be started, father."
"Yes, this is also a good way to relieve stress. The conditions are ripe."
Carlos nodded and left.
Yes, there are always people who think that industrialization is driven by capitalism, but this is actually a narrow understanding.
Industrialization is industrialization, and feudal society can also engage in industrialization, especially in a high-magic world like Azeroth, which naturally has the advantages of industrialized production.
What is industrialization? Isn't it just mechanized mass production? What's so surprising? Some mages in Dalaran have developed arcane automatic production lines. It's not surprising.
Carlos also has several steel plant and machine shops under his command.
But before attacking the Dark Portal and before Carlos was trapped in Draenor, he had discussed the development of industry in Alterac with his ministers.
The final conclusion was that there was not enough population to support the industrialization that Carlos had in his mind or memory.
Even 800,000 people are not enough.
The rash innovation of gameplay is nothing more than astonishment to the allies, and then makes the old father-in-law sigh with emotion, "Oh shit, you can still play like this." Then it is copied, then surpassed, and finally beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind.
Now, everything is just right.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron was essentially destroyed. Although Alterac still has a long way to go before digesting these legacies, the time has come to replace traditional handicrafts with extreme production.
As the largest political entity in the continent of Lordaeron, Carlos is no longer afraid of plagiarism.
It's time for the Scourge to see what equipment crushing means.
