As a newcomer to the United Congress, Kael'thas was very unwise to rush to express his opinions before he understood the situation clearly.
Moreover, he was really "voicing his own opinions" honestly, that is, not trying to guess the intentions of others at all, so that Pumillo's expression changed when he looked at the elf prince.
'The reason why the dwarf expresses his attitude is because there are real interests in it. You, the high elf prince, are just going to express your attitude like this?'
It is really counter-intuitive to say that the dwarf, who is characterized by bolts and clockwork mechanical power and specializes in electromagnetic engineering, actually has the largest coal export volume in Azeroth!
This is because Gnomeregan contains the largest known coal deposits.
Watching the coal exports, the gnomes accumulated a lot of wealth to help them develop their own technology.
Take the dwarves as an example. Although Ironforge has a large forge, the demand for conventional fuel is also staggering.
Dwarves and gnomes can form the closest companionship. In addition to the closeness of being created by the Titans, they are also inseparable from the coal underground in Gnomeregan.
Besides dwarves, the biggest buyers of dwarf coal are actually goblins.
Although goblins and gnomes have little exchange in technology and culture, they actually have a lot of exchanges in trade. Of course, this is due to goblins being good at exploiting camps.
Especially in recent years, the goblins' demand for dwarf coal has been increasing. After all, the goblins' technology is also developing, and their boilers are getting bigger and bigger. Now they have faintly surpassed the dwarves and become the largest buyer.
the trend of.
Therefore, gnomes still attach great importance to trade with goblins. If the Alliance goes to war with goblins, it will inevitably affect the business between goblins and gnomes.
But even so, Mirphis Mekkatorque was still very measured and polite when she spoke.
She only said that this conflict was not suitable for discussion in the joint conference, which showed that the dwarf was neutral on this matter.
However, Kael'thas wants to be the messenger of peace, and even the stakeholders only express neutrality.
As a result, when Kael'thas opened his mouth, he did not agree with the dwarf's point of view and did not discuss it. He clearly expressed his attitude inadvertently, opposing the war between the Alliance and the goblins and calling for peace.
If Pumilo hadn't vaguely remembered that Li De had once commented in front of him that this elf prince was "too hot-blooded and too weak-minded", he would have really thought that he was here to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Crassus really gave him face. He saw that Pumillo was weak in terms of status, qualifications, and strength, and was a little unable to hold his own, so he took over the words.
"The conflict between the Alliance and the goblins cannot be treated as an ordinary 'conflict between interest groups', just because it involves the Black Dragon Legion.
If you remember correctly, when the Joint Conference was first established, a ‘Principle of Extraordinary Power’ was established: anything involving dragons, wilderness demigods, guardians, etc., would be classified as a Level 2 crisis event by default.
The goblins cooperated with the black dragon and obtained many items from the black dragon's treasure house.
Many of these items are dangerous magic products that are very likely to bring harm to the world. At the same time, we still don’t know whether there is a deeper cooperation between goblins and black dragons.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot take the goblins lightly."
After Krasus said this, many representatives nodded, and Kael'thas had a look of understanding.
"It turns out that this is what happened. We really can't take it lightly."
In the venue, Alleria and Vereesa, who were accompanying the high elves, all lowered their heads and covered their faces, thinking, 'Prince, can you stop talking?'
After the Orc War was completely over, the two sisters all followed to Alterac. After the defeat in the Cursed Land - Alleria almost died, the two sisters said they wanted to go home again.
Sylvanas is still looking forward to it.
If it wasn't necessary for a Windrunner to stay in Silvermoon City, Sylvanas would have gone south herself when she learned of the defeat in the Cursed Land.
So this time, even if Turalyon and Luo Ning tried to persuade them to stay with watery eyes, the two sisters would definitely return to Silvermoon City first.
This is just a digression, but back to the United Congress, Crassus is not an alarmist.
The goblins indeed have no bottom line for making money, and business practices are never an excuse for being uncontrolled. If they are allowed to act like this again, there is no guarantee that they will not cause heavy damage to Azeroth in the next crisis.
In the end, after a unanimous vote by a show of hands by the representatives in the joint conference, sanctions were passed on the goblins. The specific method of sanctions was decided internally by the alliance and the dragon.
In order to appease the dwarf, Pumillo also released a signal from the side:
As the industrial center of the alliance, Hanhai Protectorate also has a huge demand for coal, which can make up for the export losses caused to the dwarfs due to the war.
Hearing Pumillo say this, Mirphis's expression became better, but even so, the dwarf still abstained from voting during the final vote.
After all, we can't give people the impression that dwarfs are the same as goblins, a race that can change sides at will as long as they can make money.
Dwarfs are very principled.
It can only be said that the goblins were unlucky. Their lack of understanding of the situation resulted in them falling into an extremely disadvantageous situation before the war officially started.
After the United Congress, the possibility of the goblins gaining allies in the eastern continent of Azeroth was almost completely banned.
Even if Pumillo and Krasus hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the purpose of sanctioning the goblins was to establish a healthy world order, not to destroy the goblins, Zandalari would have participated in beating the goblins to death.
At the very least, Talanji showed great interest in the war.
The Zandalari and the goblins also have quite a rivalry in history. Kezan was once a colony of the Zandalari, and the Zandalari trolls squeezed the goblins to mine Kaya crystals.
Of course, we all know the final result.
Now, it seems that there is an opportunity to add insult to injury and recapture Kezan. Talanji really wants to give it a try, but unfortunately, the statements of Krasus and Pumillo make her a little disappointed.
But even so, Zandalari still said that if necessary, it could dispatch a fleet to put pressure on the goblins.
It can be said that before the goblins took action, they were restricted by half of the world. The only place where they had a chance to win was in the south of Kalimdor. The battle between the Protector of the Vast Sea and Kezan must be the highlight of this war.
.
…
"The Protector of Hanhai is the key to this war!"
On Kezan Island, Grizlik banged his fist on the table and said categorically.
"The Hanhai Protectorate is the alliance's bridgehead on Kalimdor, and it is also our key target."
Childros nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we should take the lead and defeat the Hanhai Protectorate before the alliance takes action against us!
Dismantle all their machines and carve up all the good stuff in their engineering schools..."
King Bilgewater was halfway through what he said when Grizlik lost interest in listening.
This guy doesn't hide his greed for the technology of the Hanhai Protector at all. He is simply the purest goblin with an "innocent heart".
"I said that the Hanhai Protectorate is very important, but it must not be captured unless it is absolutely necessary.
Through my intelligence analysis of the Hanhai Protectorate, I found that what really deserves attention is the leader there, Lid Victory, and the talents under his command.
Although their navy is still very weak, it is not the kind that will collapse at the drop of a hat, as well as their relationship with Zandalar Loa and Kul Tiras."
When the Vice Admiral was analyzing this, Childros had very bad memories.
"Although as long as we go all out, we will definitely be able to eliminate all their sea power and part of their land power.
But with the mysterious troll city Zul'Farrak in the deepest part of the desert, they will have depth that makes us despair.
And as I said just now, the most important thing about the Hanhai Protectorate is their leaders and talents.
If we cannot eliminate them all at once, let them form a government-in-exile, and invite reinforcements from the alliance, then we will be the ones in trouble."
When Gryzlik said this, the great alchemist Giger Vunt also said helplessly.
"And the opponent has an advantage that we don't have. Judging from the magic reaction, the Hanhai Protector has a teleportation array that connects with the alliance.
Their overall response speed was much faster than ours. It was because of this aspect that we received battle reports a week later than others, which caused Streamwilder to misjudge the situation."
Alchemy is a field that relies heavily on arcane magic. As the top alchemist, Gigvonte also has extremely high arcane attainments.
From thousands of miles away, it is not difficult to deduce that the Protector of Hanhai has a teleportation circle by amplifying arcane reactions through magic props.
And just after Gigvondt finished speaking, the great engineer Dirkzic Radolfons said with a harsh laugh.
"Hey, don't worry, the goblins will have their own teleportation skills soon. I made an interesting gadget, it's very exciting!"
