When they saw that place, all the big guys' eyes lit up, and they immediately became suspicious.
In the southern continent where the Kingdom of Stormwind is located, there are almost no places to dock on the entire eastern side. Most of them are steep seaside cliffs with a height of two thousand meters. The western coast is more interesting.
The place McDonald Ken was referring to was the western coast of the [Wetland] area on the other side of the strait, which was originally the territory of the Bronzebeard dwarves. If a partial army was sent to bypass this area, it would undoubtedly be able to cut off the orcs who were resisting in the Arathi Highlands.
Supplies for the army.
A rough estimate would be another 300,000 people.
Without supplies from the rear, they would starve to death with just the little food Arashi had.
If the war-savvy Warsong Clan and Broken Hand Clan can be completely wiped out, it will undoubtedly be a great benefit to the Alliance.
The problem is that it is an area full of swamps. If outsiders enter, they will fall into the swamp and die in a matter of minutes.
"Over there, my caravan went there before when doing business. First of all, this is an excellent harbor that can be used as a deep-water port..." What McDonald pointed at was the rice port of later generations: "If you don't mind,
I think Lordaeron will independently invest in building a port and name it [Menethil Port]."
Lao Taizi was so frightened that his heartbeat stopped on the spot, and immediately his face lit up.
Historically, it was indeed Lordaeron who paid for the port to be built. Thinking that it was given to the Bronzebeard Dwarves, Lao Taizi may not be so generous. A wooden dock that can accommodate three or four large ships is worthy of a dwarf.
Naturally, McDonald's would not ask the royal family to pay.
Lao Taizi was still worried about this year's spring plowing and the reconstruction of his territory, where he would have the spare money.
Historically, Rice Harbor was a typical shoreside wharf, which was a full-tank branch. This kind of wharf and the shore site are connected along the entire length of the wharf. The front and rear are easily connected and the loading and unloading capacity is large.
The disadvantage is that there are too few ships that can dock.
If Mai Tuhao takes action, he will definitely do it in a big way.
"I plan to build 32 approach bridges here to make it a bridge-type wharf. Even after the war, it will facilitate our trade with the Bronzebeard Dwarves in the Northern Continent..."
Before McDonald could finish speaking, he was stopped by Antonidas.
"Wait! It's not that I don't believe in the Stratholme family's financial resources. But with such a big project, the orcs will let us complete it?"
McDonald snapped his fingers, and behind him, the proud female ranger took a step forward, the green cloak behind her automatically moving without any wind.
"First of all, we have the best ranger force in the world [Windrunner]. Without the trolls to cover the flanks, the lives of those bulky orcs will not be enough to fill the swamps in the wetlands."
The reputation of Alleria and her rangers for their good fighting skills has spread throughout the Alliance.
The majestic Alleria gave everyone strong confidence.
Antonidas nodded. The orcs with their large tonnage were indeed unable to play in the swamp with the light elf rangers. Now the Alliance knew that the orcs' communication was even more backward than that of the Alliance.
At least the Alliance can use magic to send messages to several major cities, and even worse, they still have gryphon knights as messengers. The orcs' message delivery relies entirely on their legs. In many places, there are no wargs, so they just rely on their legs. If they can send someone a message,
All the orcs in the area were hunted and killed. With the orcs' multi-chief communication system, it took only a year and a month for the information to reach them.
The just-concluded Battle of Quel'Thalas is an example. The main force of the orcs waited for more than a month to find out that the Zhan Song division was crippled. This efficiency... hehe, you can use it!
There is a high probability that Orgrim will take the remaining troops all the way from the east coast of the Eastern Kingdom continent to the south, at least to the Swamp of Sorrows before they can land. This will be interesting.
At this time, McDonald's threw out his second magic weapon.
"Then, our engineering team led by Stratholme is confident that within three days we can build a temporary dock that can accommodate 32 cruisers to dock at the same time and unload soldiers."
"Hiss" This time, all the big guys gasped.
Professionals must undergo long-term training, and even have a specialized market or capital supply channel to support a group of people. Only then can they be called skilled craftsmen.
McDonald's crazy game of tower defense finally paid off.
The engineering corps, which has a total number of 10,000 people and is personally trained by sand sculpture players, is the biggest weapon in this landing operation.
McDonald personally showed the model of the temporary wharf, which is a caisson. These heavy objects will sink directly to the bottom of the port and serve as the base of the temporary wharf. There are steel pipes side by side on the caisson that can adjust the angle. Each steel pipe can also
Assemble or dismantle sections to adjust length.
Once the sailors have adjusted the angle of the steel pipe, they can put up prefabricated iron plates on the water surface as temporary docks. It is not possible to unload heavy equipment, but there will be no problem with personnel and materials.
Finally, McDonald concluded: "In just seven days, we can build a military port protected by a 30-foot-high wall! In 30 days, we can make it resist the onslaught of the main force of the orcs!"
All the big guys got excited.
With the newly built Menethil Port, it is like driving a nail into the opponent's chest.
Originally, this was a surprise enough, but the third move proposed by McDonald was the move that made Lothar's eyes shine.
"If we can stop the orc army from going south in the wetlands, then the third step should be here!" McDonald pointed to [Western Wilds]!
This place once provided a lot of food to Stormwind City. Unfortunately, after the fall of Stormwind City, these fields were also abandoned.
Lothar and Bolvar were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. Their pupils were dilated, their necks were thick and red, and they were breathing heavily from their nostrils.
McDonald asked: "What happened to Gillian Stallman's troops?"
Lothar replied: "Yes, the Western Wilderness Volunteer Army has reoccupied Moon Creek Town. They found a huge underground cave there and are opening it up as a secret base for the Alliance."
Nonsense, where Grian could find it was because Mai hinted it through the sandcasting player. That place holds Mai’s first nightmare memory in the game.
Yes, as a newbie, McDonald helped his father practice the trumpet, and the first dungeon he went to was the [Death Mine] in Yuexi Town!
He was attacked by patrols who had no sense of martial ethics and came out from behind, and he was severely beaten.
The Western Wilderness Volunteer Army is so powerful, of course, it is because of Mr. Mai's contribution.
Three thousand sets of fine iron armor, coupled with the same number of crossbows and three hundred thousand crossbow arrows, were used to deal with a third-rate clan entrenched there. If they couldn't win, there would be trouble.
McDonald nodded: "When the port of Menethil is put into operation and the army successfully lands, we will send a partial division to land in the Western Wilderness."
Compared to the fertile and beach-filled North Continent, the terrain of the Southern Continent is relatively troublesome. Except for Stormwind City, which has become an enemy-occupied area, the only places that can be landed are the wetlands and the Western Wilderness.
MacDonald didn't know that at this moment, on the ship sailing to the South Road, Derek Proudmoore decisively nailed a dagger to the same place.
"Warchief, if you want to confront the Alliance across the sea, you must protect the wetlands and the western wilderness!"
