Chapter 651: Lend-Lease
The Horde is indeed not a problem, they are now extremely dependent on trade with the 'Dawn Light', although Thrall, the only intelligent man among the orcs, understands that this is not a long-term solution, and wants to rely on trade with the goblins to get rid of the pair' Dawn Light's trade dependence, but how the greedy goblins didn't understand this truth, the lion opened his mouth to naturally block the road, but Thrall still tried his best to resist public opinion, stubbornly maintained trade with the goblins, and the Blackwater Group played a very important role in this, they provided the tribe with a large number of minerals, finished weapons, and even goblin technology.
Trade magnate Gary Vickers naturally inevitably got involved in it, but his rights were far from reaching the level of his previous life, so he cared more about his own territory Andermar than the insignificant gains of a few lumps of Blackwater.
Trade King Gary Vickers is a strange existence among goblins, at the age of 13, he used a bomb to blow up the gang that demanded loan sharks from his family, and at the same time was very lucky to join the syndicate that had infiltrated the island of Kozan, and completely mastered the criminal syndicate, and then he began to set out on the road to the position of the trade prince that all goblins dream of.
During the Second War, Gary Vickers unified the slum gangs, relying on bribes and various ulterior tactics to become an advisor to the Goblin Tinkers Alliance, and also became an important member of the entire Goblin Trade Alliance, after that, he soaked in the daughter of the trade prince Marti, and through a few months of conspiracy, he succeeded in blowing Marti into the sky, he took over Marti's business and territory, and became the new trade prince.
The legendary elves make him look down on those pink-skinned humans who rely on hereditary power and money, and the brainless greenskins make him even more lazy to take a look, if it weren't for the fact that those greenskins are brainless enough to make him a lot of 'extra money', his sphere of influence may only revolve around Kozan Island, and his biggest dream has always been one: to kill all the trade princes, take over the management of all trade on Kozan Island, become the richest man in Azeroth, and fill his palace with gold coins and 'edible furniture'.
In fact, he didn't know it, his dream would soon come true, in the previous life, the cataclysm erupted, the volcano of Kozan Island was detonated, and the entire archipelago was silent, Gary Vickers, the only one who owned a boat on Kozan Island, decisively seized this opportunity, used his boat to move the panicked refugees to safety, took away their life savings and sold them as slaves, although he suffered a little setback on the way, his ship was affected by the war between the alliance and the tribe, but he also successfully caught the tribe's ship, As a result, they completely controlled the trade with the tribes. Years of war have forced the tribe to buy weapons and technology from goblins, making Garry Vix the richest goblin in Azeroth.
It's just that now, he's still the same gang leader who sits on a chocolate cake chair licking his big belly and watches his subordinates throw the guy who offended him into the stinking gutter, yes, in Benny's opinion, the goblins' trade organizations are exactly the same as the Western gangsters in the previous life.
Benny had already compiled the details of all the forces and their leaders in Azeroth and sent them to the upper echelons of the 'Dawn Light', because he knew that the 'Dawn Light' would not be able to avoid dealing with these forces sooner or later, so Gavinrad knew very well what kind of virtue Gary Vickers was, and it was simply delusional to want something from him,' Although Dawn Light has entered the development period, it seems that money will never be enough, and the three Holy Light Leapers have simply emptied the entire treasury of Stratholme, if it were not for the support of the newly emerging gem trade of Draenei and the magic trade of Quel'Thalas, it would be difficult to build a Leap Ship with the current 'Dawn Light' alone, and where would the gold come from to get some Gary Vix.
And if you don't want to use force, finding a goblin spokesperson to go and Gary Vickers is the best option at the moment, and he has no choice but Razdenk.
However, if Benny knew about this, he would not have taken this path, because he knew that Razdenk could not play Gary Vickers, otherwise he would not have been kicked out of Kozan Island to set up a goblin venture company, and force must be unavoidable, and the tribe might even intervene, because Kozan Island is the only way to obtain supplies from the tribe other than the 'Dawn Light'.
Gavinrad also knew that the tribe would come, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly, let alone Sal himself, didn't he just join the Ring of the Earth and go to participate in some trial?
With doubts in mind, Gavin Rad received the great tribal chief.
"Welcome, Grand Chief." Gavinrad is a traditional aristocrat, who has received a full set of aristocratic training since he was a child, and his etiquette is naturally impeccable, not comparable to Benny's half-.
Thrall's attire seemed to have changed, the black armor inherited from the old chieftain had an additional battle skirt, which seemed to come from the shamanic tradition, similar to the costume of the sacrificial robes, which made Thrall finally look less like a reckless warrior.
"What a magnificent battleship." Thrall is not a compliment, he has heard of the super battleship of the 'Dawn Light' from the mouth of the intelligence department, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes, and it is the first time he has boarded this battleship, just by being big, this battleship has surpassed all the tribal warships, Sal believes that he feels that it is not so simple as being glorious.
"This is the USS Gavins, the flagship of the First Fleet, and his name comes from the paladin who died in the Battle of Lordaeron." Gavinrad felt a little sad that there were not many of the Silver Hand's old comrades, most of whom had died in the Battle of Lordaeron, the first battle of the Dawn Light.
"This ship bears the name of a hero." Sal summed up the topic and asked the question that was of his greatest concern: "With all due respect, Your Excellency Marshal, is the intention of the 'Dawn Light' to capture the island of Kozan with so many warships?" Did the goblins do something offensive to Dawnlight? ”
Gavinrad smiled, not surprised that Thrall was so eager, goblins have always been important to the Horde.
"Of course not, I believe the Great Chief is also aware of the frequent elemental riots that have begun to occur recently, these warships are just to prevent them, as for Kozan Island------ I want to talk to them about a deal, but you know, we have always had very little contact with goblins, so in order not to cause too much misunderstanding, we have found a spokesperson who is also a goblin to negotiate with the leader of this place, and these warships can also be replenished by the way."
"Misunderstanding?" Sal looked around, whoever is surrounded by such a fleet will not be misunderstood! "I wonder what business you want to talk to the goblins?" Could it be that the goblins have betrayed the Horde----- no, it can't be, the goblins don't have what the 'Dawn Light' needs, and Thrall knows that.
"Oh, a lot, including but not limited to the loan of Undermar."
"What?" Sarr needs to be convinced that he heard it right------ loaning Undermar? Is Dawnlight's brain broken?! Would you rent Stratholme to someone else?
"You heard it right, we need to loan Undermar."
