Orphans are placed in foster care with eligible families (usually military families) in accordance with the War Orphans Act issued by Duke until they reach the age of 16, with all living and tuition free. There will also be a special allowance for families who adopt war orphans.

There are civil affairs officers who are also veterans, who are designated to correspond to designated orphans, and check the growth of orphans on a monthly basis.

Because they are in the same situation around them, those veterans are absolutely unable to rub sand in their eyes when they dare to abuse war orphans.

In addition, the alliance will impose the most severe sanctions on acts such as embezzlement and pension deduction, and the reputation of the alliance in this regard is extremely high.

Alliance soldiers have good benefits and high salaries, even after retirement, which makes joining the army always the top priority choice for the youth of the alliance.

What's more, every war of the alliance has a righteous name. Coupled with the territorial expansion and increased resources brought about by the attack on Northrend, these are all preferential to the military.

This makes every member of the Alliance proud to be in the army.

If it weren't for Duke's strict economic control over the years, the total number of active soldiers in the alliance would have exceeded 10 million.

Soldiers do not produce, it is purely a profession that needs to be supported by money obtained from other places. The peasant soldiers of the European Middle Ages on Earth have proven countless times to be useless things. A few highly trained knights can chase more than a thousand peasant soldiers like ducks in a rout.

Unless it is on the verge of extinction, no matter how severe the war is, the proportion of professional soldiers should not exceed one-tenth of the total population. In general, one percent is the most appropriate ratio. In modern times, few countries have more than five million regular troops. Even if there are more than a billion people in the Great Celestial Empire, the scale of soldiers is still one million.

The same is true for militia and reserve soldiers, who are militarily trained but do not use much to pay them.

Duke used this method to circumvent the huge burden of unlimited expansion of military spending, and set up a conscription echelon for the Alliance. As soon as there are not enough soldiers on active duty, there are immediately highly trained reservists on top. The difference between them and the soldiers on active duty often lies only in combat experience. Even many of them are generals who have been transferred from active duty to reserves, and even this is omitted.

Under the reserves, there are also people with a population of 10 million who have received basic combat training.

A series of measures have been implemented for more than ten years, which makes the energy burst from this war machine immediately become quite terrifying once the alliance enters a wartime state.

This scene shocked even the leaders of the Council of Thrones.

Not to mention Sal.

Committed to healing the scars of the earth, Sal, who has been in the ring of the earth for the past few years, is the last to realize it. By the time he received the news from the Night Elf druids of the Alliance, it was already the evening of the next day.

Sal, who was taken aback, said on the spot that he would move Hamuel's rune totem and ask him to help him ask Malfurion to intercede.

The Grand Druid was a thorough protector of nature and an observer at the Council of the Throne on behalf of the Council of Cenarion.

Malfurion was not surprised by Thrall's arrival, but he was unfazed by Thrall's proposal to stop the Alliance and the Horde from going to war in an all-out manner.

"Sal, I recognize your and the Minotaurs' efforts to heal the wounds of the earth. In fact, the people in the Ring of the Earth are equal to the brothers and sisters in the Cenarion Council. But I suggest you get involved in this matter. ”

"But......" Before Sal could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Malfurion.

"No 'but', you gave up the position of Great Chief to Garrosh. Now he is acting under the power of his Grand Chieftain, allowing Warok Sarufar to attack the Ashenvale. The first thing they did on the offensive was arson. Today, one-fifth of the ash valley has been caught in forest fires. Moreover, he destroyed Theramore with the [Rainbow of Focus], which is beyond the scope of conventional warfare, and even if Garrosh steps down, it is impossible to be spared. ”

Malfurion was very upright in saying things that many politicians would not be able to say in public. He was a leader and a great druid with a compassionate heart.

That's the biggest reason why Sal can hear the truth.

Sal felt like the sky was falling.

As a former Great Chief, he is the orc who knows the strength of the Alliance best. The Alliance's war machine kicks in, crushing the horde in minutes.

Thrall walked away in despair, muttering to himself, "Garrosh that idiot...... Actually gave the alliance such a pretext for war. ”

Thrall hurriedly borrowed the portal of Darnassus and rushed to the current political center of the Alliance, where Alliance Commander Varian Wryon is located.

He was poured cold water.

"Commander-in-Chief Wryon is aware of your arrival. He refuses to meet you. However, as an old friend of the Alliance, the Commander-in-Chief deems it necessary to protect your personal safety in the Alliance, and will send you a team of guards. ”

Sal wanted to say that he didn't need a guard, but he saw the eyes of the soldiers and the populace. Even if he wears the badge of a diplomatic envoy on his body, theoretically no Alliance will take the initiative to attack him. But those eyes, full of hatred and hostility, made him feel palpitations.

He had no doubt that if he dared to remove the badge from his body, even if he knew that he was invincible, the entire people of Stormwind would go forward and launch a suicidal attack on him.

Thrall turned to look for Gianna in the new town of Kurtilas, south of the Valley of Thorns, and as expected, Gianna did not meet him.

Only let Egwene bring a sentence to Sal: "This is the second time, there will definitely be no third." ”

Strictly speaking, the tribes of this life have declared war on the Alliance twice. Different from the historical kind of fighting and peace, when there is no foreign enemy, they will stab each other, and whenever there is a foreign enemy, they will join forces together.

In this life, the war between the two sides is more cautious, either it will not be fought, or it will be a real all-out war.

Thrall was very angry, the alliance still respected him, but the leaders of the alliance also had a reason not to see him - Sal was not qualified.

Now Thrall is no longer a big chief, not even a chief or the absolute leader of a large organization.

The attitude of Varian and Gianna is the attitude of the entire Alliance Council of Thrones. The two deputy commanders who were the leaders refused to see him, and as long as they were mature politicians, they would never contact Saar in private. After all, Thrall is still a green-skinned orc.

Thrall was a little disappointed, but not desperate, he borrowed the Alliance portal and went directly to Haguero Island on the other side of the Thorn Valley to find Woking.
