Chapter 643: New Political Methods
“???” Kael'thas didn't understand Patrick's thoughts. Now that the battle of the Northern Expedition has just passed, although there are the Knights of the Silver Hand as the main force, and the symbolic participation of the Alliance Tribes, it is better to rest and recuperate, and slowly restore the population.
In the face of a mortal enemy who once had a deep blood feud, the Sun Fury Legion once again showed the performance of attacking Matheri, fighting without fear of death and moving forward bravely. In fact, I don't blame those low-level soldiers, because the Knights of the Silver Hand are more radical, especially the troops of the Scarlet Crusaders back then, when they saw the natural disaster, they went up, and the old Ferdinla couldn't hold it.
It was this radicalism that surrounded the entire coalition army during the time of the Dreadful Gate of Coresa, and if it weren't for Patrick's help with Elune's help summoning the Starsfall, plus the Great Judgment of Old Fording and Vaschi's lightning tornado, it would have been a question of whether the battle would have survived.
In the past few years, due to Patrick's existence, a series of events such as the Northern Expedition and the Nightmare War have been advanced, and Patrick himself can't be sure when the cataclysm will come.
However, after living in Azeroth for so long, the original impression of the ancient gods and NPCs has been overturned, at least the intelligent beings in this world have their own judgments and thoughts, just like Harvis, the king of nightmares, who gave everyone a trick to draw money during the Northern Expedition of the coalition army.
"The Nightmare War has just passed, and I believe that the Old Gods and those evil forces will definitely not give us a chance to breathe, and while the whole continent needs to recuperate, it is the right thing to attack again. We have to guard against it. ”
"That's right." Kael'thas nodded, "Also, what is your deeper purpose in proposing to place the New Tirisfa Council in Karazhan?" ”
"As Medivan's Mage Tower, Karazan is undoubtedly the most suitable choice. However, this is not what I want, Varian and the others know even with their feet that setting up the Council of Tirisfa in Karazan is the best choice, and at the same time, it also makes the world think that the most powerful group of spellcasters is in the Stormwind Kingdom. ”
"Isn't that a lot of a departure from your original intention?" Kael'thas asked, puzzled. Patrick's idea is to be powerful, and if he gives this title to others, wouldn't it be the opposite of Patrick's original intention?
Patrick replied, "Do you care about this false name?" Or what's the use of this false name? ”
"Fame is useless, but sometimes it is useful."
"Yes, as I thought." Patrick agreed with Kael'thas of the point: "But, no matter how good your reputation is, you can't stand someone from drawing a sword." ”
"Quel'Salas has been famous for thousands of years, and Kenrito has not told us to draw a knife and draw a sword, and morality and etiquette are all clouds in their eyes."
Kael'thas smiled, he did overestimate Kenrito's moral bottom line: "Then what is your real purpose?" ”
"Quite simply, the purpose of this move is to get Kara to approve of being the headquarters of the Council of Tirisfar, so as to indirectly increase the prestige of the Stormwind Kingdom or the Alliance, and many nobles in the House of Lords of Stormwind are political masters, and they may understand that this move will definitely benefit them."
"Our strength can't affect Stormwind City, that's for sure, after all, it's their territory, even if it's an ambassador I sent, it's impossible to stay there for too long, and Stormwind Kingdom will definitely not allow it, we have troops stationed in their sphere of influence. But this does not prevent us from exchanging information with the Alliance, because of Kenrito, our communication with the southern shore of the Eastern Kingdom is almost interrupted, but with the Council of Tiris, it is different, our information can slowly flow into the Stormwind Kingdom, as well as the general overview of the entire Arcane Convention, and can also slowly flow into the Stormwind Kingdom with the exchange of merchants, mages, and travelers. ”
Kael'thas had a different opinion: "What about just revealing some information, we can't control other people's minds, although the living conditions of the Arcane Convention are getting better and better, and the material base of Quel'Salas is at the top of the world, we can't let them rebel against the Stormwind Kingdom." ”
It seems that Kael'thas still has a limited vision and has not risen to a world-class gaming angle.
"The strength of the Storm Kingdom has always been bad before the three wars, and the encounter of being slaughtered by the orcs has made the Storm Kingdom breathless. And in the third war, the undead and demons destroyed the kingdom of Lordaeron, Stormgard and Kurtilas were hit, and the influx of a large number of people had already made the current glory of the Stormwind Kingdom and forged the prestige of the Azeroth Kingdom Alliance. Patrick gathered his thoughts for a moment and continued: "Don't forget, human beings have homesickness, those wanderers who are far away, if they know that their hometown is changing and getting better, will they return to their homeland after getting the news?" ”
Like Stormgard and Kurtilas, there are already people in Theramore who have crossed the endless sea again just to return to their homeland. And a foreigner, uprooted from his homeland and wandering abroad, suffers hardships that others cannot experience.
"And Karazan, is our window, let us inadvertently reveal the news that their hometown is getting better, so that those wanderers who have left their homeland will begin to have the temptation to go home, and go home, so that the demographic advantage and war advantage of the Stormwind Kingdom will gradually be lost, plus our magic currency is popularized abroad, our financial control has been perfected, the interests of Kurtilas and Lordaeron have been bound to us, they can no longer do without us, we can completely resist them drawing knives."
Having said all this, Patrick's central idea is two. First, the so-called military strategy, Patrick aims to disintegrate the military strength of the alliance and weaken their comprehensive national strength without consuming troops, the alliance is the strongest force in the world, if it really starts a war, the high elves will not be able to fight, and the longer the time drags on, the more the high elves cannot fight. Second, no matter how strong Quel'Thalas's technology is, no matter how superior his life is, he can't stop people from drawing knives directly.
And through the Council of Tirisfa, Patrick is imposing a continuous weakening buff on the alliance, but this weakening is subtle, so that the people's minds change a little bit, there is not enough time, no one can detect it, and when they perceive it, it is already too late, what will be the consequences of the massive loss of population, naturally there is no need for Patrick to say more.
