"So why are you following me to Lordaeron?" Aaron sat on the deck of Dreadwake, looking at the dwarf next to him who was circling around a huge humanoid mecha, and asked with a little confusion.
After confirming that the dwarfs would send support, Vereesa rushed to Lordaeron to join the mission asking for help. Aaron, who had nothing to do, simply decided to go with Vereesa to have a look at the situation, so as to prepare for the decision made by Terenas.
But what makes Aaron a little strange is that when he learned that he was going to Lordaeron, Gnomeregan forced a passenger into his ship: Sicco Thermaplugg. This guy also brought his mecha.
Sicco Thermaplugg concentrated on wiping the joints of his mecha and replied without looking back, "Of course it is to confirm Lordaeron's attitude. You don't think that just a few words of yours will allow us to make the final decision, right?"
"So this is why you insisted on bringing such a big thing to my ship?" Aaron controlled Dreadwake to slowly lift into the air and glanced at the deck of Dreadwake.
Compared with the time when Quel'Thalas returned, the current Dreadwake has undergone tremendous changes. There are four additional miniguns installed on the upper deck alone, and there are several launchers piled in the corners. These are prepared by Aaron for launching rockets in the future. In fact, the lower deck of Dreadwake now houses a large number of rockets.
Of course, there is a reason for this. Compared with special artillery shells, which are difficult to make, it is much easier for dwarves to make rockets. In order to avoid having no chance to return to Gnomeregan to replenish weapons in the future, Aaron installed all the products currently produced by its own company into it. On Dreadwake, it's just that the current production speed of revolvers and corresponding bullets cannot keep up. Otherwise, Aaron will definitely install a circle of machine guns on the deck of Dreadwake. Once an enemy approaches, it will use intensive barrage to teach the opponent what air combat is.
"It's a pity that this war came so suddenly, otherwise the company would definitely have made a lot of money." After Sicco Thermaplugg finished maintaining his mecha, he came close to Aaron, carefully looked at Vereesa who was standing in the distance and didn't know what he was thinking, and said to Aaron in a low voice.
"No, actually, I think this war is a good opportunity." Aaron expressed a different opinion, patted the rocket launchers piled around him, and said, "This time Alliance sends troops to help Quel'Thalas, it is a good opportunity to showcase our company's products. Believe me, the market in human countries is much larger than that of elves."
"How do you say this?" Sicco Thermaplugg listened to what Aaron said. He was still a little confused at first. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he showed a horrifying expression. "Could a war break out between human countries?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Isn't it? As far as I know, both Gilneas and Stromgarde are now inclined to withdraw from the Alliance. How could Terenas sit back and watch them do this?" Sicco Thermaplugg expressed his speculation. "If you think about it this way, the possibility of a war within human countries is not small."
"No, I don't think Terenas has the decisiveness." Aaron thought about the development of official history in his memory. It seemed that although Terenas was very dissatisfied with Gilneas and Stromgarde's withdrawal from the group, in the end he had no intention of sending troops to attack these two countries. It was not until later that his son breathed a sigh of relief on his behalf, but that is another story.
"I hope he doesn't have such thoughts, otherwise we dwarfs will have to consider whether to quit Alliance." Sicco Thermaplugg said with emotion.
When Aaron heard what he said, he guessed a reason that prevented Terenas from teaching Gilneas and Stromgarde: other countries within the Alliance probably didn't want to see Lordaeron make such an iron-blooded decision.
"Okay, you should continue to talk about the reasons why you think the market potential of human countries is greater than Quel'Thalas." Sicco Thermaplugg took the initiative to end this topic that is still far away, and is ready to hear Aaron's thoughts on arms trade.
From Aaron's point of view, Quel'Thalas's population of only about 200,000 is not a huge market. Although it seems that High Elf's life is much richer than that of other human countries, the human population of at least millions is a huge advantage.
As long as it can show the advantages of various weapons produced by its own company to all human countries, Aaron believes that it will definitely get many orders. Even if the upper echelons of human countries have no interest in improving the military strength of their soldiers, then Aaron still has suitable products to sell to them: a six-shot revolver as a self-defense weapon, which will definitely attract the attention of many wealthy but greedy nobles.
And even if the current human countries are not interested in the weapons produced by Ya-Mei Trading Company, when successive wars break out in the future, Aaron's company will definitely be able to achieve rapid development. However, there is no need for Aaron to elaborate on this matter with Sicco Thermaplugg, as it will only cause trouble for himself.
Aaron only analyzed the huge market potential brought by the huge population base of human countries to Sicco Thermaplugg, and regarded this military operation of the Alliance to assist Quel'Thalas as a perfect display stage.
"But in this case, all countries need to be able to see the display of your weapons, but how to do this?" Sicco Thermaplugg listened to Aaron's chatter for a long time, and finally got a basic understanding of Aaron's idea. After thinking for a while, he raised a question, "As far as I know, the top leaders of each country will not go to the battlefield in person. How do you let them see the effect of the products produced by the company?"
"I need your help here. When you see Terenas, you can tell him this..." Aaron smiled and began to explain his thoughts to Sicco Thermaplugg.
We really can only ask Sicco Thermaplugg for help in this matter. Although Aaron himself has earned a lot of fame because of his adventure in rescuing Red Dragon Queen, this reputation obviously cannot help Aaron sit in the decision-making level of the Alliance.
Fortunately, Sicco Thermaplugg, who wants to expand the dwarf's influence within the Alliance, is currently very supportive of Aaron's idea. In the view of this ambitious dwarf craftsman, the expansion of Ya-Mei Trading Company also means the expansion of the dwarf's influence within the Alliance, so he will naturally not refuse to do such a favor.
"So I just need to say this to Terenas?" Sicco Thermaplugg shook his head. Aaron spoke to him for a long time, which made his thinking a little confusing. After digesting this part of the content, he showed a lack of confidence. "But will that old guy listen to me?"
"This matter is beneficial to him, why doesn't he listen? Could it be that Terenas still knows that I plan to use the stage he set up to sing a good show?" Aaron showed a smile, and then added, "I think even if he knows our purpose, he shouldn't refuse this proposal. Anyway, it is beneficial to him and harmless, right?"
"You can also sing drama?" Sicco Thermaplugg's focus seemed to be a little off track, but he still understood what Aaron meant and said, "Then I will tell you. I can't guarantee whether it will work."
"Don't worry, even if this doesn't work out, you can still make money just by making a deal with the elves." Aaron gently patted Sicco Thermaplugg, comforted him, and then began to concentrate on controlling Dreadwake all the way to Lordaeron.
