Li Ke didn't want to think too much about what Terenas said.
Terenas still misjudged him.
What he was thinking was that what he wanted to overthrow were the nobles and corrupt officials. After all, for the civilians of Lordaeron, these people were the first to oppress them. On the contrary, many of the king's policies were aimed at them.
OK.
Li Ke also had to admit this. Terenas' prestige and reputation were simply too good. If he opposed the nobles, ordinary people would respond, but if he opposed Terenas, except for those who were killed by Terenas for the orcs,
Most people will not resist if taxes are raised and their families are ruined.
Except for the unprecedented "virtuous government" of the Orc Sanctuary, which shocked the allies, this man was always a benevolent king, and if things go according to his ideas, then his approach is correct.
Facts have proved that orcs can indeed fill the gap in human combat effectiveness and productivity.
Once Arthas understands the use of slaves, when the Dark Portal opens again, it is likely that humans will take action to establish a triangular trade on the other side of the Dark Portal.
Li Ke didn't think about it at first, but judging from Terenas's sensitivity towards his own industrialization and his own words, he once wanted to do something.
I am afraid that His Majesty the King, like those on earth, once wanted to complete the bloody accumulation of capital through slaves and then directly transform.
Or maybe he didn't expect too much behind, but simply saw the benefits of slaves - using people from other countries as slaves is not good for your reputation. After all, they are your own people. There are other races on this continent, and humans still need to unite.
All at once.
But the orcs have no problem. The people who are full of resentment because of the orcs will not sympathize with the orcs at all. All the misfortunes they encounter can be solved by bullying the orcs.
Li Ke didn't know if he was overthinking it, or if Terenas really had so many considerations, but he was now thinking based on the considerations that Terenas had.
So he specifically talked about topics that Terenas didn't want to talk about but had to talk about to divert his attention and buy himself time to think about what Terenas was thinking.
"What he means is that he has no objection to actually becoming the actual leader of the Western Wilderness, but as long as he continues to follow Alsace's leadership, then he won't take it seriously?"
Why are you so confident? Isn’t this leaving troubles to future generations?
Or does he have absolute confidence in the national strength of Arthas and Lordaeron?
Or does he have other sources of support?
Li Ke couldn't understand why Terenas was so brave and dared to let Alsace compete with him for growth.
Does he have such high confidence in Arthas and Lordaeron?!
Since he knew that machines could bring about qualitative changes, why did he dare to play with himself like this?!
But no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of other possibilities, because once Terenas supported him, he would immediately make Terenas cry without tears.
He watched Terenas' face change from kind and proud to helpless, and kept thinking about why, why Terenas had such confidence.
"etc……"
Li Ke suddenly thought of something.
"Terenas said he knew it, but how much did he know?!"
Does he understand the true power of industrialization?
Li Ke had a hunch that if he could figure this out, then it would be clear whether Terenas' confidence was real, or whether it was real in his eyes.
If he fully understands industrialization and still has the confidence to confront him head-on, then it means that Lordaeron has already had the idea of industrialization, but it was just because the nobles did not have time to do it, and later because of Arthas' patricide.
was destroyed.
And if he doesn't know much...
That means that he was deceived, or that his vision caused him to not understand the true power of industry. The industry he saw was not the industry developed by Li Ke at all, but the industry developed by dwarves, goblins and dwarves.
The fragile industrial capabilities displayed can hardly be called industrialization!
It’s not like my industrial capabilities that have been standardized and modularized from the beginning!
There is also a gap between industry and industry!
The industry of Uganda in Africa can be said to be industry, and the industry of China and Emperor Wu is also industry, but the comparison between the periods is fundamentally different. A hundred Ugandans cannot compete with the industry of China and Emperor Wu.
If we don't understand what Terenas thinks of industrialization, there's no way to determine whether he really understands the power of industrialization.
but.
It doesn't matter.
Arthas will take action.
Li Ke felt relieved immediately.
"For me, I love each of my children, but for the sake of the entire human world, I have to make some sacrifices."
Terenas sighed.
"I think you should know how afraid humans are of orcs, right?"
Li Ke nodded. He knew this very well. Basically, the words that scare children now are 'the orcs are coming'. It goes without saying what the reputation of the orcs is.
"I am not exaggerating and commending my achievements, but I am stating the fact that when I was young, I hoped to expand the territory of Lordaeron to Gilneas. I will not deny this, because
Any enterprising human king would want to restore the glory of Thoradin the Great."
This is nothing at all, Li Ke nodded.
Just like Alexander, Qin Shihuang, and Genghis Khan, why are these people praised?
It is because they established a huge unified country.
Although they all died in the second generation, countless successors claimed that they had their inheritance rights - except for the Celestial Dynasty, but the Celestial Dynasty was in a special situation and had serious involution from ancient times to the present, so we will not discuss it.
This is a monument. Although the actual area controlled by Emperor Thoradin may not be as good as the current Lordaeron, the title of 'Co-Lord of Humanity' and the power that this title can bring are enough to make countless emperors' hearts flutter.
The Celestial Dynasty is no exception to this. How many emperors have dreamed of surpassing Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han in terms of merit?
"However, Stormwind City, which I tried to be my biggest rival at that time, and Ryan, were suddenly destroyed by the orcs."
Terenas closed his eyes.
"That day, my heart was full of joy, but also full of anxiety and fear, because although Stormwind City is not as powerful as Lordaeron, they have been fighting trolls for generations, even on the walls of Stormwind City and siege the city.
The troll battles, the folk customs are strong, the land is fertile, and there is even fertile and wide plain land like the Western Wilderness, as well as more than a dozen natural military ports. It even makes friends with dwarves and gnomes, and can obtain cheap food from them.
Sophisticated weapons and friendship, as well as advanced technical support, so when I knew that the orcs were coming, I didn't have the slightest hope of being able to hold on."
Li Ke: “…………”
Is this something that a person like him, who is not a confidant, can listen to?
