Chapter 1381: Strategy Adjustment
The alliance is, in a sense, a group of brothers and sisters who are in trouble.
For a long time, as long as your capital has not fallen, you don't want to go out and say hello to people that you are a League warrior.
Well, the Kingdom of Gilne, which built the Wall of Greymane to block foreign enemies and cut off the alliance, was regarded as a misbreed.
The unbeatable Storm Kingdom relied on Du's earth-shattering methods to perfectly restore the country, and jumped to the first place in the alliance's strength in one fell swoop.
Lordaeron's Queen Kalia was held by Duke, and everyone knew that she was the queen for Duke's sake, and for the same reason, she vowed not to marry.
Well, that's true for the rest of Quel'Thalas, Outrank, and Kurtilas. These declining kingdoms are all supported by the Marcus Family Chamber of Commerce without exception.
With a lot of human and material resources, rebuilding transportation, selling molded building materials at low prices, and even taking out interest-free loans if you don't have money, the collateral is only a 30-year concession for certain minerals or specialties of these countries.
It is precisely with this all-round and comprehensive supporting means, including the economy, people's livelihood, circulation and so on, that the rapid revival of these kingdoms has been achieved.
There is even a widely accepted saying - "If you want to return to the country, you must have a beautiful queen and then send it to Duke Marcus's harem." Then the nation will be resurrected with full blood. ”
This method is the quickest and most effective at a time when power is at stake in the countries of the alliance. It allows Duke to complete the control of the alliance in the fastest and most peaceful way.
When Duke completely controlled the discourse of the alliance, this method seemed inappropriate again.
The reason why the alliance has been so vigorous in history, in the face of constant suffering in capitals and the repeated destruction of the world, is that it is the kind of inclusiveness that was born for the sake of a common goal.
If the Alliance is just an alliance with the skin of an alliance, it is actually an imperial thing. One day, the alliance will fall apart, even before the Burning Legion's general assault.
This requires Duque to deal with this matter with greater political wisdom.
Regardless of who you tend to keep in private, at least a bowl of water should be flat on the countertop.
There are more countries in the alliance that have knelt down, and now there is Stormgard to save, and there is a dwarf kingdom Nomorigan who has been temporarily damaged by radiation and can't be saved. In the near future, after the Draenei enter the Alliance, there will be a half-crippled Shattrath City.
In this life, there is no such thing as Kael'thas forcing the Draenei to jump over the wall and run away in an airship, but Shattrath City, located on the broken Draenor, is a rhythm that will have to kneel sooner or later. At that time, the restoration of the capital will be another major project.
It is not known if there are still Draenei in this life, Essoda, the capital of Azeroth.
Gianna understood Duke's approach at the moment. It's just that as a strong woman who is very good at taking advantage of her female advantages, Gianna blew the pillow wind at the right time, gently put her mouth to Duke's ear, and while blowing like an orchid, her ears and temples grinded, while her fingers gently rubbed Duke's shoulders and collarbone.
"I know everything. But the core of Theramore's strength is the Kurtilas, plus the refugees of Stormgard and Lordaeron......!
That old lady's Theramore is still playing with eggs?
That's what Gianna meant, to put it bluntly.
"I remember that when you were asked to establish Theramore, you were asked to build a bridgehead for the alliance in Kalimdor, right? Have you forgotten what the essence of a bridgehead is?"
Gianna's movements froze.
Hell, Theramore is so good that it's almost forgotten. Before she knew it, Gianna had established Theramore as the new capital of Kurtilas.
In the past 2,000 years, most of the enemies have come from the mainland, such as trolls or something. Isolated in the ocean, Kurtilas Island is more like a paradise.
Unfortunately, on the eve of the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the Burning Legion swept through Kurtiras, killing the former king Darin, and brutally shattering the dream of the Kurtilas.
Theramore's acquisition of so much manpower and material resources was supported by the alliance led by Duke, but also because life on the overseas continent attracted a group of refugees who had lost their homes and longed for peace.
Later, the Alliance supported the Horde and obtained a large amount of ore from the Horde, and as the only window port for the Confederacy to trade with the Horde, Theramore was simply plucked and fat to the point of oil leakage.
In order to alleviate the pressure on shipping, the Alliance funded the establishment of a large-scale mineral refinery in Theramore, where the ore was smelted into various metal ingots, which were then transported back to places such as Forge, Stormwind, and Lordaeron.
On the other hand, in order to support the battle of Silisus, several arsenals specializing in the manufacture of ammunition were established in Theramore in advance.
Theramore presented an exaggerated prosperity because of the trade of the Alliance and the Horde, as well as military needs.
Not to mention the people below, even Gianna, the Lord of Theramore, was paralyzed.
No one thought that if one day the Alliance and the Horde fell out, or even fell out, what would happen to Theramore?
Duke doesn't remind him, Gianna still won't wake up - the bridgehead or something, you have to be ready to be beaten!
Gianna's golden eyebrows almost rose upside down, and her intellectual face suddenly became fierce: "Hmph! The tribe has the ability to defeat Theramore, not to mention...... Who dares!?"
Theramore, a city on an isolated island by the sea in the Dust Swamp, was built from the very beginning to the standards of the strongest military fortress.
The east side is bordered by the sea, and the north, west, and south directions are swamps. The swamp is in terrible condition, most of the area is a mire that can be easily swallowed by people, and there are a large number of large poisonous spiders and wild animals such as crocodiles, which is definitely not a good place to march.
By the way, to the south of the Dust Swamp is the lair of Duke's mount, Onexia, where thousands of dragons are roaming......
To enter the city of Seramo, one needs to cross an extremely wide waterway. This waterway is a natural moat.
With the artillery of the fortress, if you add some flying battleships, it is really who will come and who will die.
It's absolutely true to say that it's easy to defend and hard to attack.
It's not that Gianna is boasting, with the current strength of the tribe, even if he exerts the regular combat power of the entire tribe, he can't defeat Theramore. If the superiority at sea is maintained and not blocked, let alone a year and a half, it will not be a problem to defend it for ten years.
Duke smiled: "Conventional tactics, of course you are invincible, but you are afraid that the other party will come with a super magic bomb or something." ”
Originally, in history, Theramore was destroyed by a nuclear-level magic bomb [Rainbow of Focus], and he lost a Ronin. Gianna, who spent almost all her youth in Theramore, turned white overnight because of this incident.
