Things weren't as bad as Carlos imagined.
But there is absolutely no way to sugarcoat it and say "good".
Because under the suppression of Anduin Lothar, the awakened ones actually realized the secret skill of making bullets fly--the most important thing is not to have Alsace.
In order to completely kill the Lich King, the awakened person can endure anything, even if the Lich King is temporarily alive.
Carlos didn't want to be a bully and discuss whether the Lich King was alive or dead, but he was still shocked by the scale of Lordaeron's Infinite Power Group.
A behemoth that spans dozens of fields and whose business includes mid- to low-end OEM/medical/banking/insurance has already stood tall on the earth.
Quickly demonstrate why Sir Lothar is a god.
Let’s talk about OEM first. Although the industry is upgraded to high-end and technology and capital become more intensive, the labor force will be increasingly excluded in the process. Therefore, it is not that the more developed the industry, the richer the workers become; laid-off and unemployment are the eternal themes. Nowadays, the alliance has created favorable conditions for passive industrial upgrading only because of the massive hemorrhage of the population, which has caused a shortage of people everywhere. It is not that workers are reluctant to smash machines, but that the wages of factory positions are gradually losing their appeal. Therefore, using "undead" undead to carry out mid-to-low-end industrial OEM is very profitable. One undead can complete the workload of four skilled workers in 20 hours, and the remaining four hours can still be waxed. Polish the bones and face the next day's work with more enthusiasm and fullness.
The price/performance gap is too big. A death knight who is not a dirty person is not worthy of being said to be the contractor of Anduin Lothar. Thirteen consecutive jumps will never happen in Lordaeron Infinite Power Group!
Let’s talk about medical care, this is what caused Carlos’ cardiopulmonary arrest the most. That's why Anduin Lothar vigorously promoted the spiritual home plan in order to appease the hate-filled awakened people not to be too extreme and not to be radicalized by their hatred of the Lich King, and called on all awakened people who have recovered themselves to read more books. A good book that uses spiritual food to resist the killing instinct and heals soul wounds with love and peace.
My tm has become nonsense/groundless, so love is unnecessary, so a large number of high-level undead who still retain their sanity began to specialize in science and engineering. As a result, the medical technology of the Awakened has developed rapidly after inheriting the bacterial and virus research legacy of the Immortal Plague Army, and the fields of biopharmaceuticals and clinical medicine have overwhelmed Alliance practitioners.
Is this the end? How is it possible? Living people are afraid of the dead after all. The high-end medical technology of the awakened can only serve the wealthy people who are afraid of death. The people at the bottom will not take a pill from the undead. What really shocked the minds of the alliance's priests was that some of the undead who were too bored to read sacred scriptures actually gained the favor of the Holy Light.
Hahaha, undead priest...
It's a good thing that Sir Lothar didn't have the brains to vigorously develop the Holy Light industry, otherwise you can see how the Alliance Paladins launched a holy war to regain the city of Lordaeron.
The priests of the Great Love Sect feel as if they have found a treasure when they hear about the existence of the undead priests. This is a great victory of the Holy Light. Pious faith can transcend the boundaries of life and death. This wave, this wave is a victory for all the priests.
The priests of the solemn sect heard that the undead could use the power of the Holy Light, and almost launched a mutiny. They had to hang up the heretics, leaving no one alive. The bones were crushed into powder and sent to the fertile fields. Heretics, a lot of heretics, and the evil undead theft has tarnished the purity. The Holy Light must launch a holy war.
When the passer-by sect heard the news, he spread his hands with expressionless expressions. I just got a job through a curve. A regular paladin has five years of full-time monastic training, and a three-year internship as a paladin attendant. There are several eight years in life that can be used. To take the riding test, it is better to save the country by taking the curve. First learn to be a pastor and then switch to riding. During the apprenticeship as a pastor, you will get job allowances. After you become a full-time pastor, you will receive a salary and take the riding test as well as a professional title subsidy. You don't care about the route.
Before Carlos even got off the airship when he returned to Lordaeron, the berth of the tower was already crowded with representatives of the priesthood petitioning for the "people" and people who had paid to eat melons. The noise made his head buzz.
This thing is actually not bad. After all, as the King of Knights, Carlos has been involved in the circle of Paladins for so many years. Some people still believe in using some official words to appease people. The powerful healing skills of the undead are not a shocking trouble. Really The trouble is with the next two.
Banking and insurance business of Lordaeron Infinite Power Group.
Bank, it’s easy to understand. Even if Carlos played a trick with Alliance gold coins to collect seigniorage, Alliance gold coins really contain gold. They are still physical currencies in essence, and they are physical currencies with issuance reserves. The big nobles are big. The lords can store their money in their own cellar, which is heavily guarded by police and institutions. What about the middle class and petty bourgeoisie? They can only store it in private banks and banks in various countries.
So there seems to be nothing wrong with Sir Lothar opening a bank.
But Carlos looked at the First Bank of Lordaeron and saw that it was a Swiss undead bank that appeared to be absolutely neutral. He really didn't have the heart to rectify it.
A large number of Alliance borers who evaded taxes and deceived taxes have deposited their money in the Bank of the Undead in Lordaeron, a vault located deep in the sewers of Dalaran, which provides a sense of security.
It's just that Anduin Lothar knows how to be a human being, and he will still be a human being even after death. As long as the Barov family uses smuggling channels to ask for an audit, the awakened ones will respond to their requests. That's called a tough guy.
Okay, regarding the banking business, the Jazz had trouble again. Carlos suppressed the thought of killing people and swallowed this breath, but the insurance business really shocked all living beings in the Eastern Kingdom.
As we all know, the banking and insurance industries essentially rely on absorbing idle funds from society to obtain a large amount of cash flow and then invest them in capital-intensive industries with high returns to make profits.
Banks rely on interest rates, insurance relies on fraud...Insurance is afraid of fraud.
Therefore, Carlos had no interest in engaging in the thankless insurance industry within the traditional sphere of influence of the semi-feudal and semi-state capitalist alliance.
However, the Alliance dared to follow up with the Awakeners, and the Alliance did not dare to follow up with the Jazz.
There is no life without madness. The undead accept insurance policies from living people. From serious accidental hedging to improper disguised selling oneself, a large number of people at the bottom regard the accidental death insurance of the awakened as if the undead have brain problems and give it to everyone. money.
After accepting kickbacks from the Awakened salesmen, the money-grubbing mayor signed contracts collectively in each town and purchased accidental death insurance and a death card. He did not understand that this was the Awakened obtaining fresh corpses through "legal means" ...
Do you want to take care of it?
At least the awakened ones did not buy or sell by force, but used the thinking of living people to legally and reasonably increase the number of people.
No matter...
No matter how you think about it, there's something wrong with it, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward, no matter how you try to interfere, it still feels wrong.
Uncomfortable!
After Carlos heard that the first investigation team of the Awakened had gone to Northrend to establish a frontline stronghold, he really became murderous and prepared to completely solve the historical problems of Lordaeron that had been shelved three years ago.
However, from his father to all close allies, they told the Alliance's Grand Marshal in secret replies that the current Alliance no longer has enough strength to solve the problem of the Awakened from the physical level.
