All of the new ships of the Dawn of Light are equipped with steam-powered plants that are already very mature, although Benny is a little uneye-catching

With the help of Gianna and Egwen, Varian Ureon recovers his memories and returns to the Stormwind Kingdom to claim his throne and reveal Onexia's true colors, before leading an army into Onexia's lair and slaying the Black Dragon Princess.

Gianna proposed to convene a summit of alliance leaders to strengthen the cohesion of the alliance countries, and Varian took the suggestion and issued an invitation, which was accepted by the leaders of the alliance countries except for Gilneth and Kurtilas, and Dawn of Light accepted Varian's invitation in the name of trade cooperation.

"We do remain neutral, but we can't be 'alone' and isolation doesn't do us any good. Benny sat in the cabin and explained to the officers who didn't understand the significance of the trip.

Cooperation with the Alliance and the Horde is imperative, unless Benny has the population and productivity to occupy all of Azeroth, without hundreds of years of development, which is simply wishful thinking.

"Lordan Rondo jungle and arable land, mineral reserves are relatively rich except for Hillsbrad, there is no mineral production in other areas at all, but even Hillsbrad, there are only a few small copper and iron mines, precious resources such as silver mines, gold mines, and mythril mines, the production is infinitely close to zero, and there have been recent voices to clear the Arathi Heights, isn't it because someone has discovered large-scale gold mines there?" Benny pointed to the map. "Our grain production has been preliminarily calculated, and in less than two years, it will reach the total of all the members of the Confederate States, and as for the tribes------ you have the information of their territories, you should know how embarrassing their lives are. ”

The officers nodded, starvation was a common occurrence in Durontar and even in Mogore, not to mention the 'Dawn Light', even before the invasion of Lordaeron, this kind of thing was extremely rare.

"Grain can be traded with the tribe for high-quality furs and precious minerals, but what about our 'research technology'? Our musket has reached the third generation, and you know its power very well, but what about the second generation? "I don't plan to sell these technologies to aggressive tribes, but the Alliance is not impossible, and I'm even willing to trade the latest technology for our much-needed resources. ”

"It has only taken us a few years to develop from the first generation of muskets to the fourth generation? The second generation of the latest 'Feather of Light' is ready to start flight tests, in the foreseeable ten years, the speed of our equipment replacement is unimaginable, but research requires costs, these costs are now basically borne by the 'Dawn Light' and Quel'Salas alone, the manpower from Forger Ironforge and Nomorigan, the biggest financial burden is on us, why don't we pass on these costs?"

"Since the establishment of the 'Dawn Light', our army has never really exceeded 50,000, not because we can't afford to arm more troops, but because I won't let ordinary soldiers face the powerful Burning Legion, that is, let them die.

"The advantage of this is that we can stand head-to-head with the demonic army of the Burning Legion------ although it is not even a hair of the Burning Legion, but it also proves that we are on the right path!"

The officers nodded, and Benny continued: "But there is also a downside to this, we cannot afford to lose too many personnel, every soldier is precious to us, and the cost of training our soldiers is now more than ten times that of Lordaeron, and with the development of equipment, this cost will only gradually increase, but not decrease." ”

"This time the trade, which is what I call 'cost pass-through', the Alliance can get some weapons, and they will use these weapons against the Burning Legion, and the Horde will get food, and they will also use this food against the Burning Legion, because the Burning Legion is the enemy of this world, not our own, understand?"

"Understood!" the officers yelled in response.

"Look and think more when you encounter problems, you are generals, not paladins or warriors. Benny got up and walked straight out of the conference room, and before the door was closed, the officers behind him were buzzing and talking, Benny smiled and went back to his room.

"Is this using the Alliance and the Horde as cannon fodder?" muttered an officer.

"You see it's too simple. The officer next to him looked like a friend of his. "As the High Lord said, the Burning Legion is the common enemy of this world, and the Alliance and the Horde have the obligation and responsibility to fight against the Burning Legion, and the 'Dawn Light' is arming them, although it will also allow me to gain some benefits for myself, but this is only to pass on the cost of our -----?"

"If you want to talk about cannon fodder, I think the tribe is cannon fodder, and the big lord also said that they are aggressive, so they only give them food, but no weapons, who knows if they will turn against us when they get weapons?" said another officer.

"Have you seen the fourth generation of muskets?" said one of the officers, apparently more interested in the new weapon.

"You've seen it?"

"I'm from the 6th Regiment, and the last time I went to the research department, I accidentally saw it, and the power, tsk-----" The officer shook his head mysteriously.

"I don't believe it's going to be much better than the third generation musket. A major looked at the mysterious officer's lieutenant rank and pouted.

"Then just wait and see. The lieutenant pouted as well. "One shot, burn a demon guard to the ground, not even the scum left! The firing range is at least 50 percent higher than that of the third-generation musket, I heard that His Excellency Gavin Rad has led people to start researching new tactics, my uncle is in the 'Strategy Department', I heard him say that if the research is successful, the heavy infantry will be phased out!"

"Your uncle must have forgotten the 'secrecy regulations'!" the other officers were even more incredulous, the secrecy level of the 'Research Department' was exceptional. If you dare to show curiosity about the 'Research Department', the Intelligence Department will dare to call you to talk!

"You'd better be prepared for this. Walter, who had been silent, spoke suddenly. "This matter is not false, and it is not a matter of secrecy, the officers of the colonel's rank know a little bit about it, but it is not as serious as he said, the heavy infantry will not be eliminated all at once, but it will indeed gradually reduce the number of people, because now is the time for soldiers to retire, and the new tactics are completely different from the previous ones, the role of the heavy infantry has been gradually reduced, and the paladin will gradually replace the position of the heavy infantry. ”

"What about ----- Warrior Academy?"

"That's for the Great Lord. (To be continued.) )
