Chapter 7 How to deal with the Greenskins
The orc's name is Spirits Gofang, and he is a powerful war warlord.
It was it that through battle after battle, it swept away other warlords and threats from the Human Empire, and finally succeeded in unifying the Wasteland and becoming the world's supreme interlocutor.
Although the battles cost him an eye and part of his jaw, he used an iron patch to cover the wound afterwards, and the simple and crisp treatment made the war warlord even more legendary.
The closest Imperial territory to Wasteland is Nord, a standard stronghold world dedicated to suppressing the greenskin threat in this sector.
However, due to the stupid mistake of a commander not long ago, a large number of Imperial troops were annihilated by the greenskins on Wasteland, and now they have no ability to attack from the outside, so they can only stay at home and wait for the enemy to attack.
Everyone knew that the Greenskin's peace would not last long, and that with no more battles to satisfy his brother in Wasteland, there was no doubt that the newly promoted war warlord would spread the flames to other nearby planets
The technology of the orcs is more and more fierce, and there is almost never a shortage of manpower and food, and the steel waste left over from previous wars is enough for them to make all kinds of mass killing weapons.
So when the Greenskins do come to Nord, the scene is bound to become quite ugly.
That's what Pastor wants to prevent.
Armed with the barrel of green mushroom wine he had gotten from the black market on Midden, he traveled to Wasteland on a spaceship, intending to visit the legendary green-skinned warlord.
No sooner had Wei Mu's ship been parked on the surface of Wasteland than a group of orc boys spotted him.
After he told him that he had come to deliver something to their leader, the boys did not hurt him, but led him to the fortress where the leader was.
After all, it's rare for human shrimp to take the initiative to send benefits to the leader, and it's still the boss's favorite green mushroom wine, if because of their own assertions, this shrimp has three strengths and two shortcomings, the leader will definitely not let them go after they know about it.
So in this way, Wei Mu smoothly entered the greenskin fortress.
Entering the fortress safely and meeting the Greenskin Warlord is not the difficulty of this operation, but how to convince the other party and get out of the way.
Orcs are a race that values strength, and bullying seems to them to be a perfectly normal thing.
In the past, there were many lobbyists who hoped to fool the less intelligent greenskins with their superb tongues, but they all overturned without exception, and the key is that the greenskins thought they were strong and the messengers were weak, they could do anything to the messengers, and anything the messengers said seemed to them to be farts.
If you say that there is the Human Empire standing behind me, and there are millions of Imperial Navy supporting me, you have to respect me or something, sorry, the greenskins are not smart enough.
They can only see all kinds of annoying fragments of a weak chicken in front of them, constantly saying some brain-burning words in their mouths, and helping them analyze the pros and cons.
Rather than using their brains, the greenskins prefer to do it directly.
If you can get someone to fight and hope that the greenskins will pay attention to you and listen to you, it will be even more impossible.
They're worried that they can't find an opponent, and you send them a bunch in the face, just in time to dry on the spot – that's how they take it seriously.
Even if the negotiation is completed, the greenskins will not honestly abide by the contract, which leads to the fact that the greenskins have been labeled as unable to communicate by the major races a long time ago.
"In that case, how did you do it, drunk the other party with wine?" Azmore asked.
"Of course not, getting drunk can only be done for a while, what if the other party wakes up? This is not a business negotiation at the wine table, taking advantage of others' delirium, fooling others into signing the contract. In fact, negotiation itself was not a normal way of communicating with the Greenskins, and when the Ancient Sage designed them, he certainly didn't expect them to be put in charge of diplomacy one day. Wei Mu replied.
"When dealing with the greenskins, the first thing to realize is a very important thing, they are biological weapons made by the ancient saints, a race artificially created specifically for fighting, so for such a race, everything that has nothing to do with war is meaningless."
"With this in mind, you can think about what the core elements of combat are. Only the topics that revolve around those core elements are the topics that can communicate with the green-skinned orcs normally. ”
"The first element of war is manpower, but the unique way the greenskins orcs reproduce makes them hardly worry about manpower, so there is no point in talking to them about manpower."
"The second element is logistics, and in the same way, the green spores can create an entire ecosystem to support the orcs on their own, and the orcs themselves are extremely adaptable and self-healing, so there is no point in talking about logistics with them."
"The third is morale, orcs are not afraid of death by nature, they yearn for war in their bones, even if they sometimes rout and run away, they are often worried that there will be no fight in the future, so there is no way to talk about morale and life and death with them."
"The fourth is technology, the ancient saints have directly engraved technology in the genes of the green skins, resulting in them not needing to learn, they can unlock quite powerful technology just by fighting, and it is not okay to talk about technology with them."
"The fifth is weaponry, the greenskins have a unique ability to think, so that they can create all kinds of weapons of mass destruction with just a pile of broken copper and iron, so there is no shortage of weapons and equipment. Of course, there are also places where the greenskins don't even have broken copper, and the empire has a chance to make some simple deals with them, but in general, ......"
"Watch your words, heretic, the Empire never makes any deals with Xenomorphs!"
Azrael scolded.
"I said buddy, don't act, I have a bunch of robed villains at home, and I'm embarrassed to point out others and call heresy."
Wei Mu waved his hand helplessly.
"We're ......"
"You have a reason, you have a hard time, it is for the empire, you are loyal to mankind, and the same situation is put on others, that is, people collude with aliens, it is betrayal, it is blasphemy, and you need to be cut on the gallows with a thousand knives, needless to say, I understand, I understand."
Wei Mu's words directly made Azrael lose his temper, and the mortal jury and judge present were scared enough.
I thought that such a public trial was just a formality, but this kid was so open-mouthed that he dared to say anything.
Can the existence of the robe villain be spread casually? You kid is looking for death by yourself, can you stop pulling us?
However, the topic had already reached this point, and Wei Mu knew that the dark angels had no way to clean him up.
So he didn't care about the expressions of everyone present, and continued to talk to himself.
"All in all, the methods of the ancient saints are indeed powerful, their various designs directly turn the green-skinned orcs into a near-perfect biological weapon, but there are gains and losses, no matter how clever the ancient saints are, some elements of war cannot be solved by design alone - such as fame."
"With fame, the orc warlord will be able to rally more brat under his command to fight bigger wars. But not all orcs can achieve prestige, so fame is a topic that can be communicated with orcs. If you are not afraid that the enemy needs more, you are afraid that the enemy has no needs, and only when you have needs can you take advantage of the other party. ”
"You mean to start by helping the other person make a name for themselves?" Azrael's eyes sharpened, "Don't you know that doing so will only make the Greenskin's threat even more terrifying?" ”
The reason why the greenskins are cyclical natural disasters is that this cycle is waiting for a powerful boss to gather them, and now you are better to directly help the greenskinned warlords become famous, are you afraid that the greenskins are not strong enough, or are you afraid that you will not die badly enough?
"Of course I do." Wei Mu pursed his lips, "If you want to avoid this, you have to work on another element of the war - the opponent's side. ”
