The war in Zul'Gurub is not all bad for the Alliance.
At least this war allowed Stormwind City to be embedded within the Alliance's system, and also helped Stormwind City complete its gorgeous transformation from a fragmented kingdom to an assembled kingdom full of iron hoops and anchors.
Well, there are traces of the alliance all over his body.
In the north, Lordaeron's madness is mixed with war anxiety, while in the south, Elwyn's war anxiety is mixed with madness.
Alliance orthodoxy lies in the Scourge. Behind this hellish joke is a fact that cannot be said but cannot be ignored. It is the fear of the Scourge and the hatred of the Lich King that allow millions of people in Lordaeron to find a common identity. Know. It is the huge security needs that allow the alliance's decrees to pass through all countries.
To put it another way, it is precisely because the humans in Lordaeron died so miserably in the undead natural disasters. They have gained experience and become numb after death, so they have no idea about the number of standing armies that are one-tenth of the racial population.
Not only do I feel nothing, I even feel too little and feel insecure.
On Earth, industrialization at the level of tens of millions of people is equivalent to the level of a fraud island. If it carries the historical baggage of the land of the Fourth World War, it will be like Li X at most.
But Azeroth is different. Not only is this planet huge, it also has gods and magic.
In the low-magic world, one has to work step by step to build technology and build industry. The chief designer of Azeroth's factory can call upon the Almighty Master.
For example, regarding the precision of industrial machines, what should designers in the low-magic world do if they want higher-precision equipment?
All parts are made in 1,000 pieces. Some core parts are even made in 10,000 pieces. Then the master craftsmen use vernier calipers to remove the jamming and measuring parts one by one, and find out the one with the right matching error value. .
This is called process upgrading.
There are no tricks or shortcuts, it's all magic and luck.
Can the cost be low? Can small countries afford it?
But Azeroth is different, really different.
Although the high elves themselves are the majority shareholders of Dalaran, the industrial competition between Quel'Thalas and Dalaran has reached the level of brotherly feud.
Without him, wealth is attractive to the eyes, and profits are attractive to the people.
The ancient gods are not out of trouble yet. The power of the ancient gods is imprisoned by the restraining stance left by the Titans. Humans do not have to worry about the steel equipment suddenly growing tentacles of flesh and blood.
At this time, sweatshop is still an adjective, not a literal meaning.
In this case, replacing manual labor with mechanical labor is a huge benefit.
And the engineering mages who can manufacture core equipment have finally reaped the dividends of the times.
Reminiscing about the past, I studied hard and carved scrolls in the cold window, people lost weight after taking advantage of the fireball, and looked up to the sky in tears with no hope of advancement.
Look at today, people are busy drawing pictures, it is difficult to find a crankshaft and they have to wait in line. Magic is not an inconvenience.
If there were no human traitors/long-eared immortals to lower prices, Sajia would be able to have wealth and freedom just by sleeping in bed!
Never be indifferent to human nature, and never overestimate morality. Monopoly is a boring thing to listen to, but it tastes really good when used.
Why is it so difficult to form a mage group? Isn't it because a large number of mid-level and high-level mage have gone to sea to engage in industry.
Silvermoon City has thousands of years of advanced experience in the magic industry, plus long-term funding for major magic associations in Dalaran, giving it an unlimited first-mover advantage. But among the human mages who can get the intermediate professional title, which one is not a cunning villain who has been a leader in the academic faction, and which one does not have rich experience in being a dog for the mentor.
If you compete with skills and knowledge, you will definitely not be able to compete with the high elves.
In this case, if you can't beat it, just join.
Quel'Thalas has never been monolithic, and Master Xiangqing is a fine tradition brought from the mother's womb.
On the surface, it seems that Silvermoon City and Dalaran are competing for the commanding heights of the magic industry, and it is a technological confrontation between high elves and humans.
In fact, this technological war between you and me is just two groups of people competing for wealth and wealth.
As long as we defeat our competitors, the alliance's market will all belong to us. If we want to reduce production, we can reduce production. We can work no more than ten minutes a day and two days a month. If we want to increase the price, we can increase the price. If it's too expensive, don't buy it. Duo Beep Just one word, I will put you on the blacklist directly, two words, not for sale!
The price war between Silvermoon City and Dalaran seems to be an academic confrontation, technological progress, and a greater alliance.
In fact, it is all a capital fight to monopolize the market.
In a few years, either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or they will just keep playing price alliances with each other.
Originally, the process of history should be like this.
But the draenei entered the scene.
Magic, right? Industrialization, right? I'm familiar with this.
Despite the heavy casualties among the Draenei after the Exodar fell, there were only over 30,000 people left after the attack.
But because the alliance's rescue was timely, the situation was much better than in other timelines where only a few thousand people died.
Velen is stranded in Pandaria. On the one hand, he is reluctant to part with the Exodar. On the other hand, he is dealing with a behemoth like the Alliance. The Prophet needs to observe and consider carefully.
So Carlos took his son Beowulf to open a factory in Stormwind City. The Draenei delegation from Exodar and the Draenei inspection team that came to Azeroth with the expeditionary force had an awkward meeting in Stromgarde.
After all, the word draenei means exile. How could the draenei with rich experience in exile follow the principle of being near and settle in Elvin? Compared to the large but not powerful Kingdom of Stormwind, it is obviously a place where the essence of mankind is located. Lordaeron is more attractive.
As a result, the two groups of draenei who lived together spent a few months wandering around Silvermoon City and Dalaran to win over each other, and shuttled between the alliance military headquarters and the local noble forces' banquets, and made some decisions. A tough decision.
Go it alone!
The magic of the high elves is very good, but their industrial design is flashy and artificial, which is a bad review.
The industrial styles of humans and dwarves are simple and solid, but their technical reserves are seriously insufficient, making them potential big customers.
Orcs and trolls...the boss of the OEM is only qualified to drive a Mazda, please get out of here.
Gnomes... Oh, Azeroth actually hides such a race with amazing bones. I think this kid will become a formidable enemy in the future.
In fact, the dwarves' honesty is just an expression, not a racial trait.
Ironforge has lost its ability to compete for the hegemony of the Eastern Kingdom after the Three Hammers War. It has fulfilled its covenants time and time again to support its human brothers because the dwarves know that without the human ally, Ironforge cannot survive alone.
If it weren't for the lack of magic power, wouldn't the dwarf who was the first to create the stock exchange be jealous of the fat man in the magic industry?
Therefore, Magni's advisory group tried every possible means to show favor to the high elves brought back by Carlos, and actively united with the dwarf brothers, in order to carry out industrial layout and prepare to enter the industrial war between Silvermoon City and Dalaran.
Ironforge isn't ready yet.
But the draenei, backed by Kalos, arrived.
The Bronzebeard clan was forced to fight.
No matter how late it is, there will be no leftovers.
In the south, the capital of war is operating, and the alliance's army is urging the northern factories to ship goods day by day.
In the north, the capital war is going on. Following the dividends of the Zul'Gurub War, Ironforge, which has taken on large military orders, announced with a high profile that it has entered the field of magic industry suppliers.
At the same time, the Draenei announced that they would build a battleship-level power furnace factory in the Alterac Plateau. After the first phase of equipment debugging is completed, the production capacity will reach the level of 100 units per year.
On the day the news was released, the share price of Silver Moon Heavy Industry on the Ironforge Stock Exchange, in the technology sector, plummeted 13%.
