Fighting in Dragonblight is a completely new experience for the Alliance.
There is quite a sour feeling of drawing a sword and looking around at a loss. On this cold day, the iron weapon bites people.
Why do many front-line commanders feel that this Northern Expedition may be the Alliance's best and only chance to win?
Because there may be fools who can survive on the front line, but there are absolutely no fools. Even if you are stupid and can't say it, you can feel the gold content of the Alliance Expeditionary Force in your heart.
Highlight an outrageous one.
Carlos Barov's large-scale magic industry is far from what everyone expects.
The mage community was unhappy and felt that Carlos was trying to make others feel better.
The Alterac nobles were unhappy. Metal smelting was a rare area of strength for the Alterac people. Why should they open their technology to the entire Alliance?
The refugees in Lordaeron are not happy either. If they don't open up wasteland and farm the land, will they be able to live comfortably and support their families by working in factories?
Even the traditional allies of mankind are not very happy. No matter how round or big the pie is, no one except the dwarfs has ever done this. They feel unsure.
Do the dwarves support it? The dwarf craftsman said that I don’t know. I don’t want the Iron Man rebellion or anything.
The big landowners and nobles have no motivation as capital, the mages and craftsmen as technology providers are internally resistant, and the peasants and proletariat are naturally resistant to new production methods.
Carlos really can't push all this forward if he doesn't get alliance gold coins.
After all, he is a man who has become an old king. He also experienced the pain of poverty when he was young. His wife was killed by migrant workers who maliciously asked for wages. Varian Wrynn was thinking about the internal affairs of the alliance while blasting the undead army. The policy is also out of control.
It was not the industrialization of magic that drove the spread of alliance gold coins, but the emergence of alliance gold coins that made all forces in the alliance hold their noses and pursue the industrialization of magic.
This is a wonderful move, but the heart of playing finance is really dirty.
The most fundamental question is, is there gold in the alliance gold coins?
Yes, the gold content is much higher than that of rich ores.
Therefore, the alliance's gold coins naturally have the value of issuance, because these alliance gold coins really contain gold, which is much nobler than treating them as thousands of dollars or big sun and moon banknotes.
And, the best thing is this. The first industrial product of magic industrialization is the five thousand-ton integrated magic printing press.
The printing press, which combines Quel'Thalas' arcane technology, perfectly solves the problem of unscrupulous traders stealing leftovers from Alliance gold coins.
The gold content of traditional gold coins is between 50% and 60%. The unscrupulous people even use files to file a circle of silver powder on silver coins. How can gold coins be an exception?
Therefore, in the past, when merchants collected money, they had to pay too much, and honest people were destined to suffer losses.
The alliance gold coins created by Carlos are not so troublesome.
Because this new gold coin is directly stamped from alloy steel. It has the color of gold and the hardness of alloy steel. It is born with six layers of anti-counterfeiting marks. The profiteers have already tested it. Endeavor filed down the gold powder. The cost of resmelting is too high and not cost-effective at all.
That's right, your Alterac royal family has sworn that gold coins contain gold and are useless. The complaints of alchemists in the tavern are the best guarantee for the trust of Alliance gold coins among the people.
This thing actually contains gold.
A large number of alliance gold coins have entered the circulation market. Are they affecting silver coins?
No, it's a copper coin.
Silver coins were a compromise used by Carlos to bribe the aristocratic landowning class.
With the exquisite alliance gold coins and jade in front of them, the lords from all over the country will naturally imitate the example. The generals will print gold coins, and the generals will print silver coins. Everyone will have a bright future.
So the fact that the alliance will not tell everyone is that the first batch of large-scale machinery and equipment that was widely purchased was actually a printing press.
In the former Alliance of Lordaeron, ordinary people could only save thirty or fifty silver coins after a year's hard work, and copper coins were widely used.
Now that Carlos' alliance has sprinkled alliance gold coins into the circulation market, it actually has little impact on most people.
Because the rich peasants did not have many old gold coins, the inflation problem was diluted by the planned QE in the face of the alliance's new gold coins.
Alliance gold coins have entered the homes of ordinary people, and the main currency in the retail market is still various silver coins. The elder brother of gold coins fought with the second brother of silver coins, and the third brother of copper coins was beaten to death.
Carlos enjoyed the stamp duty of the alliance's gold coins, and Carlos and the others enjoyed the stamp duty of the new silver coin alliance. The industrialization of magic started quietly.
The caster class naturally became supporters of the alliance gold coins in the process of realizing knowledge. The abundant production products brought about by magic industrialization provided a new value anchor for the alliance gold coins.
Although Varian vaguely sensed something was wrong, he was blinded by Stormwind City's huge trade deficit.
Cousin, I wronged you, Cousin Carlos!
!
In order to win over the Kingdom of Stormwind, Carlos Barov endured his angina and invited Varian Wrynn to join the Alliance Gold Coin Club.
However, Varian felt that the alliance gold coins were not as real as the goods in the warehouse, so he only accepted investment from the northern forces to build factories and did not join Lordaeron's currency alliance.
This is a loss of hundreds of billions...
Where is the pleasure of collecting taxes and printing money!
Although the Seventh Legion's material supplies are guaranteed by the Alliance, Varian's thoughts are not simple when he participates in the Northern Expedition to Northrend. He not only hopes to expand his voice within the Alliance, but also hopes to take advantage of this war. Bringing huge supplies to integrate Stormwind City.
However, Varian was wrong. He admitted his mistake. He really didn't expect that war could be so expensive.
Are the Alliance soldiers strong? They are.
It's not that the human dwarves have very strong individual combat effectiveness, but that the overall atmosphere of the Northern Expedition is weird.
The army of Lordaeron had just fought off the Scourge of the Undead a few years ago, and the Seventh Legion that participated in the war in Stormwind City was one of the main forces in the Zul'Gurub War.
This Northern Expeditionary Army from the era of magic and cold weapons inexplicably entered the era of hot weapons was entirely an accident caused by Carlos.
Because the basic material science that restricts the development of industry in the magic-free world is simply a matter of price in the laboratory of the Archmage.
This resulted in a very exaggerated result.
The alliance's troops are monsters that can not only barrage and charge, but also engage in battle line and melee combat.
Simply because the alliance's biggest enemy, the Undead Scourge, is the same monster as the imaginary enemy tribe, the officers within the alliance just feel that they are strong and can win.
And a soul-piercing fusion geek like Varian understands just how exaggerated this Northern Expeditionary Army is, and how exaggerated the Eastern Kingdom's military-industrial complex is that can provide logistical supplies to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
So once again smashing Selzan into bone dregs, Varian understood that the Undead Scourge would probably not be able to launch a decent attack in the next two days, so he had to seize the time to take a good rest.
This lich responsible for attacking the Late Winter Fortress is really annoying. He is resurrected quickly and has a lot of exciting work. He actually learned to calculate economic accounts in several months of offensive and defensive battles. Varian has nothing to do with defending the Late Winter Fortress. He had doubts, but the fact that he became poorer and poorer as he fought deeply hurt his heart.
So after hearing about Sylvanas' arrival, Varian became energetic.
There are more than a dozen people in the alliance who are respectfully called ladies.
But that lady, which lady, comes up in the conversation? That's the only one, Sylvanas Windrunner.
The glorious deeds of that lady in Pandaria have spread throughout the Eastern Kingdom, and Varian Wrynn, who has been dragged into the unknown realm by the undead Scourge, urgently needs Sylvanas' guidance.
How should we fight this battle without losing money?
There is no reason why Bolvar Fordragon can do it.
I, Varian Wrynn, can't do it, right?
