Why is it that Azeroth's artillery technology is so advanced, but it has never entered the era of hot weapons?

Because of Mithril.

Not to mention the unfortunate stuff of Thoryin, the mature technology of smelting Thursilver is in the hands of the dwarves and a large amount of foreign exchange is taken from the hands of humans every year, and if it were not for the fact that the Ironforge regime has been in a state of trade deficit with the countries of Lordaeron, the fragile friendship between humans and dwarves would have been wiped out.

The grievances between humans and Thorium are too complicated to ignore, but the mature Mithril smelting and forging technology doomed Azeroth to fully enter the Age of Hot Weapons.

If armor can defend against shrapnel, who wouldn't want to be a hand-to-hand macho man......

"So why are there so many guns and ammunition in the country?"

When the bricks arrived in Anhadol with enough muskets to arm 30,000 men for half a year, Carlos had some WTF impulses.

"Because of the years that you have been missing, young master, there has been a lot of pressure in the country."

Fang Brick replied.

Terenus. Minecil II, a true political greatman of Lordaeron.

When he wants to be friends with you, all you feel is meticulous care, and even the illusion that heaven and earth are working together. But when Terenus starts targeting whom, that's the real road.

Alex. For the sake of his son's kingdom, Barov silently went to the opposite side of his old friend.

Once, Cadie thought that Terenus was just lucky, born into the Minahir family, and that he was no worse than him.

However, after ten years of political confrontation, the regent Grand Duke of Alterac had to admit that he was a step behind his in-laws after all.

But Alex. Barov though admitted that he played politics not Terenus. Minecil II's opponents, as prominent statesmen second only to him, would not easily admit defeat.

In the midst of this implicit confrontation, the Grand Duke Regent revised the domestic development plan left by his son.

Except for military weapons such as large-caliber artillery, bed crossbows, and enchanted armor, the Kingdom of Alterac does not prohibit the circulation of any "civilian weapons" in the country.

Come on, rotten, you have what it takes to annex Alterac, and I'll leave you with a mob of mobs.

In order to maintain the family's dominance, the Grand Duke Regent initiated a process of mobizing the country.

It is forbidden to control the circulation of weapons in the country, and to maintain its position by relying on prestige and power by strengthening the status of the military.

One thing to say, this is very dangerous, and as long as the external pressure subsides, there will inevitably be riots in the country.

But so what, the end of losing the country is much more terrible than a few riots, and Alex doesn't care at all.

So under this guiding principle, in the years of Carlos's disappearance, the state foundry alone produced mountains of weapons and equipment, not counting the private property of large and small noble lords.

Anyway, the big brother Barov's family who took the lead all play like this, and the money is not in vain.

"These weapons are only one-tenth of the size of the national armory, and in the basement of the Kerdaron Lake Fort, four batches of weapons of this size can be pulled, and the city of Alterac is about the same size."

Square brick explained.

So Carlos immediately selected a car, cut the tarpaulin, and pried open the package cover one by one......

Good fellows, flintlock muskets, hand cannons, three-stringed wrath, longbows, explosive arrows, grenades, mines, fire oil.......

"You say these are civilian supplies?"

"Well, civilian, can be directly pulled out and sold for money."

Well, that's awesome, the only test of civilian vs. military is whether you can directly pull it out and sell it for money?!

"Send it down, first arm the 20,000 volunteers recruited."

"Okay."

After returning to Azeroth from the astral plane, Carlos had been traveling from place to place, and had never really bent down to look at his kingdom properly, so much so that the sight made him feel absurdly alienated.

This TMD is my Alterac?

"What about the artillery, what about the heavy bed crossbow?"

Carlos felt that something was wrong and asked more.

"Conquer the Arathi orcs, most of these ordnance have been transferred to Talenmir, otherwise how do you think they won that battle and dragged these big guys on a hurry?"

On paper, it is shallow, and the logistics list is heavy.

At the time of Arathi, there were 70,000 mouths, and the number of Alterac cavalry was large, and the pressure of food transportation was too great for people to eat and chew, and too much logistical capacity was crowded, and Carlos had not deliberately paid attention to this problem.

Now that Anhadol is playing a defensive battle, Carlos really has a real feeling for the word "recklessness".

Fighting on the inside line, the mature road transportation system, although it was chaotic for a few days because of the assassination of Kaddy, but the kingdom of Alterac finally showed the power of order. Spell communication with Alterac City, Daddy guarantees that at least twenty heavy artillery pieces will be shipped out of Alterac City every day, as for swords and armor or something, just go directly to the armory to transfer inventory, and even siege tanks or something, all for his son to go to the front line.

There is no way, Hillsbrad's enclosure plan has offended too many Lordaeron magnates, and in addition to large livestock such as military horses, only the smelting industry is left to compete within the alliance.

Alterac, which has always been short of food, needs to import materials from within the alliance every year, and the Barov family does not open gold mines, so in order to earn foreign exchange through exports, they must bite their fists and not let go.

Counting on iron farming tools to make money?

Too slow, too little profit.

Military industry is king!

Even the Copperbeard Dwarves of Ironforge have invested in an assembly plant in Alterac.

Each year, the Alliance procures a certain amount of engineering equipment from the Dwarves.

Therefore, the dwarves directly transfer the core components such as steam engines, high-precision gears, and high-torque bearings from the iron furnace fort, and the remaining accessories such as armor plates are purchased from Alterac domestic orders, which can avoid a lot of transportation costs and improve profit margins.

Social, social, capital-capital.

It's no wonder that the Scourge Legion wants to overturn Dalaran as soon as possible, and Kenrito, who has not been raided, can take out 100,000 arcane bombs!

Some didn't think about it, it was Carlos's last leisure before the war.

The vanguard of the Scourge had reached the outskirts of Anhador, and in order to prevent contamination by the plague, a large number of wheat crops were burned by order of Carlos.

The only good news was that because of the speed of the march, Arthas did not come up in a wave, but patiently uprooted the outlying strongholds, waiting for the huge number of bone legions to be in place.

"Young Master, don't you ask me why?"

Fang Brick found a chance, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask, it hurts feelings."

Carlos replied flatly.
