McDonald explained the recent situation of the Alliance and the situation in the north of Kalimdor in a deep voice: "Time is a bit tight. I need you to open an efficient transportation channel as soon as possible, which can transport the Alliance's supplies from Theramore to the Barrens.
The best place is a double-track railway, or even worse, a road that can pass tanks, and the key is safety - you can’t be harassed by swamp creatures!"
Jaina made a quick assessment and realized that it would be of no harm to Theramore.
The Alliance now recognizes her control of Theramore and uses Theramore as the core springboard into the continent of Kalimdor.
It can be said that there are not many people in this world who know how to do business better than the people of Kul Tiran (those green-skinned dwarfs are called scammers, not businessmen). She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she immediately saw clearly that a core channel was facing the blockade.
How much progress has been made in the development of Lamo? Otherwise, with the manpower she has at her disposal, I really don’t know how long it would take to expand out of Dustwallow Swamp.
Historically, until Theramore was destroyed, less than half of the road from the port to the exit at the other end of the swamp was built, and it was a dirt road. Later, the Alliance and the Horde each built bunkers and fortresses in the Barrens.
Confrontation is a story for another day.
Now that the alliance has public funds to build roads, Jaina feels that she has made a lot of money.
After three hours of discussion, it was basically McDonald's words, Gianna's nod, and most of the details were finalized.
McDonald left through the portal, and Jaina immediately stepped back and slumped on the sofa, holding her cheek: "Magna, what do you think?"
"It's impeccable. At least I can't see any disadvantages to Theramore."
"That's true." There was a flash of regret in Gianna's eyes: "I have not had a relationship with him since I was a child, but I thought it was a bad relationship. I didn't expect that he, who was so promiscuous when he was a child, would be so stable when he grew up.
.Sure enough, people will change.”
Magna smiled mischievously: "It's not too late!"
Jaina stiffened: "No! I will always have a psychological shadow facing him."
She shivered as she recalled the horrific incident in which she was thrown into the pool time and time again as a child, followed secretly to the salon, only to be locked in the utility room and screamed until someone rescued her.
"I didn't tell you."
Sure enough, Jaina's hunch was right.
Fortunately, she didn't jump around. It didn't take long for her to feel that her status as an outpost of the alliance was a bit unpalatable.
A week later, the first to arrive was the [Warspite]!
Although she knew that McDonough had some crazy new steel clippers that could run more than 30 knots, and also knew that there were new steel gunboats, Jaina was still a little scared when she witnessed this steel giant on the sea for the first time.
Feel.
That thick pipe is said to be able to hit cannonballs 5 miles away.
Every Stratholme engineer who disembarked from the dock unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Theramore's rammed earth walls.
Jaina secretly asked people to inquire, and the feedback she got was:
"The people of Stratholme think that a wall like ours can be destroyed with two cannons. In fact, this is what they did to the wall of Lordaeron."
Jaina: "..."
No matter how arrogant she was, she would not dare to say that Theramore's broken city walls could compare to the city of Lordaeron.
Then she kept encouraging her men and worked hard for so long. What was the purpose of building the city wall?
In front of the alliance's new artillery, this is scum!
Doesn't this mean that McDonald's can still manipulate her as he pleases?
Thinking of this, Jaina felt very uncomfortable.
What's more uncomfortable is yet to come.
In preparation for the upcoming troop dispatch, the Alliance has stockpiled armaments in Theramore in advance. This was agreed in advance.
A large amount of canned food and cannonballs are shipped via ocean-going fleets, no problem.
The problem is that the building materials, such as the cement that Jaina wants to get most, come from the south, and they are transported by offshore boats.
These small steel cargo ships with a length of no more than 20 meters and a relatively flat bottom are obviously designed for inland river and offshore navigation.
"Wait! Where did these cement and steel bars come from?" Jaina asked.
"Golden Sword Port!" the alliance soldiers said matter-of-factly.
Jaina's face lost all color in an instant.
That's right, she used the Alliance's resources for nothing. No matter how many things the Alliance builds in Dustwallow Marsh, it will all belong to her in the future. She should be happy.
However, what she earned was only infrastructure, not an industrial system with hematopoietic function.
She can use the roads created by the Alliance once and for all for free, and she doesn't even have to pay for the maintenance fees.
That's all.
It’s really cool to have a complete assembly line and make as many infrastructure materials as you want!
The problem is that the woman who owns all this is named Fenna*Jinjian!
"That illegitimate daughter! She actually shamelessly named a new port after her own surname! Damn it, that's the kind of treatment only a king can have!" Jaina was going crazy: "She, how could she do this!?"
Magna next to her smiled bitterly. She finally understood why Gianna and McDonald had been at loggerheads since childhood.
What this kid did is really infuriating.
In other words, he did it on purpose.
Otherwise, it’s not good to praise any Kul Tiran, but Fenna?
But Gianna couldn't refute it yet.
Fenner, as an illegitimate daughter, has no public identity at all. She can openly join the banner of McDonald's, and even wear a trident on her flag. Can Jaina do this? The royal family of Kul Tiras still has the dignity.
Do you want it?
If Dai Lin wakes up, he will still need McDonald's favor.
How to arrange illegitimate children is a headache for every king.
Magna looked at the magic mirror, and her magic eyes took in a panoramic view of the changes that had taken place in Dustwallow Swamp: Alliance engineers were using large machinery to throw huge solid cylindrical cement blocks into the swamp between the two pieces of land.
mud pits, and then sprinkled with gravel excavated on the spot to fill every depression in the road.
It won't take long to build a solid stone road.
On both sides of the road, bunkers are rising one after another.
The power of the Bunker King has begun to spread to the continent of Kalimdor...
"Alas!" Magna sighed.
On the other side, Jinjian Port.
McDonald was enjoying the sea breeze and drinking coconut water very comfortably.
It's very strange that there are coconuts in the world of Azeroth, such as [Sea Foam Coconut Juice]. But McDonald's didn't know that there are also coconuts on the east coast of Tanaris.
Even though it is already October, the temperature in this desert area is still almost 35 degrees Celsius, so drinking ice-cold coconut juice is really good.
"My lord, is it still to your liking?" Fenna's eyes were so gentle, and the tenderness was as tender as water, as if water could be squeezed out of thin air.
McDonald never expected that this girl would react so much to his casual agreement to rename the port to Golden Sword Port.
"Ahem! Not bad." McDonald changed the subject: "I'm just here to inspect the industrial construction here."
Fenna immediately said seriously: "Master, please come with me."
