Chapter 757: The State and the Individual

The Eastern Kingdom Continent, the open and secret battles in this old world, are no less than the star-gazing Pandaria Continent.

Fort Riptide was officially restored, and its name was Fort Riptide Kingdom, the country of the orthodox inheritance of the Alaso Empire, once again standing in the world of Azeroth.

No one is a fool, everyone is self-aware, with the current strength of the Torbain family, with the current national strength of Fort Riptide, it is not worthy of the name of the Arathor Empire at all, this is to tarnish the glory of the ancestors.

Therefore, the glory of the past allows it to continue to remain in the old days, and the living today have their own world, even if this world is no longer as good as one percent of the past.

The country was shattered, full of messes, internal and external troubles, Prince Torbain first asked Lordaeron to support a large number of daily consumables and food supplies to ensure the normal operation of the army, and then ran to contact the Black Sol chaebol and took a large low-interest loan from the goblins.

After all, money is needed everywhere now, and the current Riptide Castle royal court can't break one gold coin as two flowers, and it is not possible to count on the ally Lordaeron, after all, Lordaeron is currently engaged in economic construction, and they themselves have no extra spare money, let alone borrow it.

So after thinking about it, there is only that group of goblin consortiums.

Venture capital companies were the first to be excluded, this is a group of black-and-white loan sharks, looking for them to borrow money, there is no good end, this group of goblins can be described as the most black-hearted, the most bottomless group in the world.

The second hot sand consortium was excluded, this goblin consortium that has always adhered to absolute neutrality, the formal is regular, the interest rate is low, and the whole process is a regular operation, but! After all, they do not belong to the first-class super consortium, usually open a few banks, and lend money to individual customers or local small forces, it is no problem, but in the face of the ruling regime, it is simply unable to provide a huge amount of low-interest loans, if you really want to do this, the liquidity chain will be broken immediately.

The third Rusty Water Chaebol was ruled out for the simple reason that Garry Vickers, the Prince of Trade, was a member of the tribe, and the relationship between the Northern Alliance and the tribes was lukewarm, strictly speaking, there was still a state of war between Lordaeron and the orc tribes, and no one had ever mentioned a truce.

Oh, or rather, after Thrall ascended the throne, he was preparing to make diplomatic contact with the old king of Terenus, preparing to end this war that was inherited from the old tribe period, after all, the other clans have surrendered, but the frostwolf clan, the Blackstone clan and the dragonthroat clan have never said surrender, so as a member of the old tribe, as long as they don't say surrender and don't die, then the war will still continue.

But then everyone knows what happened, and before this peace negotiation officially began, the undead plague swept through the whole of Lordaeron, the country was ruined, and the old king of Terenus was stabbed to death on the spot by the first filial son of Lordaeron.

The country is all gone, and this is still a chicken!

After Queen Kalia ascended the throne and restored Lordaeron, the two sides did not mention all kinds of old things again, although the trade caravans of the other side can often be seen on the lands of the two sides, and no one cares that this is an enemy who is at war, but no matter how it is said, it is in a state of war after all, so official diplomacy has been lukewarm.

In addition, the Rusty Water Chaebol's series of financial preferential policies are only provided to the tribe's internal franchise races, so if Riptide Fort, as the Northern Alliance, wants to borrow money from them, it is properly waiting for the rhythm of being slaughtered.

So after looking at it like this, the only loan object is the black suo chaebol.

This goblin chaebol belongs to the Kalimdor Alliance faction of the Night Empire, and they and the venture capital firm, the Rusty Water Chaebol, are the only three goblin groups that have the ability to lend money to state-level powers.

It's just that the asking price of the Heisuo chaebol is not low, although it is a low-interest loan, the interest rate is already high to the limit, and a little higher is no longer a low-interest loan.

But no matter how you say it, it's better than the regular, compared to those black-and-white all-you-have loan shark groups, at least you don't have to worry about the black soe chaebol will cheat you on this.

As for the national-level forces, the loan approval process of the black suo chaebol is basically passed quickly, with a green light all the way, and there are few approval jams, unless your national power is about to run out of calves, and lending it to you is a waste.

And the Riptide Fort Kingdom has just been born, and it is still a member of the Northern Alliance, so this evaluation level is very high, and for such a high-quality customer, the Hesuo chaebol is naturally very happy.

Hesuo, a big capitalist with a monopoly nature, is not at all afraid that the state-level forces will not pay back the money or deliberately repay the debts, this is not because there is the Night Empire behind him as a backer, but the mainstream news media controlled by international groups like the Hesuo chaebol and the rusty water chaebol can completely bankrupt the credibility of a country's power within a month, and make a king who was originally high in power become a person of poor character and a rat on the street that everyone shouts and beats.

The knife of benevolence kills the fastest, and the knife of public opinion kills without seeing blood.

Although the weapons of the capitalists do not have the smoke of gunpowder, they are more terrifying than the smoke of gunpowder war, and they kill more people.

Whoever controls the media is the powerhouse of the new era, a saying that is widely circulated among the upper classes of the world of Azeroth.

They are not afraid of individual powerful mages, warlocks, or all kinds of strong professionals to fight against them openly, after all, no matter how strong an individual is, he can't do an entire mainstream force.

You just use one as ten, one as a hundred, what if you anger those nobles or overseers who have real power, people directly pull the army to scare you, you still think you can be unequaled, say kill you and kill you, some high-end professionals work hard for these real power bosses, not worse than you.

But the news media can quickly make a faction disliked by the whole world, and turn someone's status into a street rat in an instant.

Therefore, the current major forces are extremely precious to their media reputation and international reputation, and there are only two stunned people like Garrosh, or those who want to break the game, he doesn't care, he makes trouble everywhere without skin and face, and he doesn't care about his reputation in the outside world.

But Garrosh made a fuss, at least he didn't drag the official reputation of the entire tribe into the water, and he did everything in the personal name of the Great Chief, not in the name of the whole tribe, and he never represented the entire tribe, let alone forcibly represented the internal opposition that disagreed with his own politics.

So Garrosh wasn't an evil villain or a brainless idiot, and his governing ability and political IQ aside, just his love for the tribe was no worse than Saar's.

And most importantly, at least he is an orc, the dominant leader of tribal orthodoxy, not some other non-orc race.

Whether you admit it or not, when it comes to glory, only orcs can lead the tribe on this path, radical or not.
