Pirate: Hades!

The World Conference is much more boring than expected.

Hades had already anticipated all these topics.

Sitting there in a meeting has nothing to do with yourself.

Hades's visit this time is just a formality. Many kingdoms that become members of the World Government for the first time are qualified to participate in the World Conference, which is equivalent to a face-to-face meeting.

Of course, it's not without gains.

Gerard already has the contact information of many member countries.

There are too many forces that want to cooperate with the Kingdom of Chronos.

The trading islands simply connect the four seas together and transport goods directly to the four seas across the doldrums.

But the sea area is very vast, and many kingdoms are far away from the trading island.

Only by relying on shipping companies can bulk products be transported to all parts of the world.

The trade system established by the Kingdom of Chronos requires a large number of transport ships to transport goods to all parts of the world.

This is also the core of the trading system.

If the island turtle transportation combined with trade is the main artery of the trade system.

The shipping chain consisting of countless transport ships is the branch of the trade system.

Forming a big net to wrap the whole world.

Among them, shipping companies play an important role.

Seeing the benefits brought by sea transportation, many forces will rush to this blue ocean.

Many shipping companies were established in this way, and all kinds of transport ships needed for sea transportation came from Put Island.

Every year, hundreds or even thousands of transport ships are built on Put Island.

The shipbuilding industry throughout the ocean was booming.

Prior to this, as the shipbuilding industry had fallen into decline during the Great Pirate Era, the Kingdom of Chronos had already begun to make plans in advance, acquiring shipyards and shipbuilding companies across the sea at low prices.

And the orders keep coming.

The trade system of the Kingdom of Chronos requires a large number of transport ships in order to benefit everyone.

Especially for remote kingdoms, if they want to transport goods to trading islands, they need the help of shipping companies.

In addition, in order to obtain maximum benefits, the Kingdom of Chronos also established a number of shipping companies in the four seas.

However, unlike the shipbuilding industry, the Kingdom of Chronos almost monopolized 80% of the shipbuilding market in the entire ocean.

This market is still expanding and its share is also increasing.

In the field of shipping, the Kingdom of Chronos did not occupy a large share.

Compared to the shipbuilding industry, shipping carries great risks.

Countless people are eyeing the benefits involved. Underground forces and pirates can gain a lot of wealth by just robbing a transport ship.

Driven by profit and combined with the Great Pirate Era, most pirates were not interested in ordinary towns.

Once some transport ships carrying precious goods are robbed, they are sent to the underground black market and sold together with the goods and transport ships.

In today's ocean, there are too many channels to sell stolen goods.

In the underground black market, there is even a special set of procedures.

If you want to run a shipping company well, having just one transport ship is not enough. You also need strong protection or powerful firepower.

This is the only way to face the greedy pirates and repel them.

The prosperity of maritime transport also promoted the prosperity of the arms trade, especially high-destructive artillery and top gunners.

The transport ships of some shipping companies are armed as hard as naval warships.

If you want to achieve something in this field, you have to spend money.

Many people ventured into this industry, some became rich overnight, while others lost everything.

Many people became pirates.

There are even some illegal shipping companies that disappear with their employers' goods.

There are not many shipping companies that are trustworthy and have a reputation on the sea.

Many students who graduated from the Royal Military Academy left the Kingdom of Chronos after a few years of military experience and joined the Royal Chamber of Commerce or the Chronos Kingdom Shipping Company.

Compared to the somewhat boring army.

Shipping companies are more interesting, as they can even provide you with access to the conditions in various parts of the ocean.

This industry is not stable. If you are not careful, you may be targeted by a big pirate and lose both your money and your life.

Therefore, in this industry, the development of Chronos Kingdom is relatively conservative.

Basically, they are all in the four seas and rarely involve the great routes.

Because the pirates of the four seas are weaker.

The risk is relatively low.

With the strength of graduates from the Royal Military Academy of the Kingdom of Chronos, there is certainly no problem for them to travel around the world.

There is no need to be afraid of those pirates.

However, we need to guard against being targeted by other forces, as this is the biggest risk.

The industry is too chaotic nowadays and it would be a shame if someone targeted us.

The losses would not be tens of millions of Baileys, but hundreds of millions or even more.

In particular, the cost of building a large transport ship is higher than that of a large warship.

People without ability cannot enter this industry at all.

In today's ocean, even if you want to rent it, no one is willing to rent it to you.

The current trade system is not yet fully utilized.

The most fundamental reason is that the shipping industry has not yet fully developed.

Although the profits are huge, the risks are also not small.

Even the "King of Shipping" Umit, a shipping giant who has connections with both the black and white worlds and the World Government, the Sea Emperor, and various forces, is very cautious under the current situation on the ocean.

There was no massive expansion.

The more abilities you have, the more risks you take.

Today, the Great Pirate Era is still at its peak, and order has been established in the North Sea's underground world, but it is still very chaotic on the surface.

There were frequent wars between kingdoms.

Perhaps, when the sea situation becomes more stable in a few years, the shipping industry will develop further.

The Kingdom of Chronos is not in a hurry either.

In this chain of interests, they undoubtedly occupy the largest share of the benefits.

That is the question of how much you can earn.

When the situation on the sea is stable, the kingdom earns more; when the situation on the sea is chaotic, the kingdom earns less.

For the Kingdom of Chronos, maintaining the current situation as possible is also what he hopes to see.

The development of a kingdom takes time, and so does the development of an industry.

The trade system of the Kingdom of Chronos was established only seven years ago.

It would take at least several decades to develop to its peak.

In this process, they have already made advance arrangements.

The shipbuilding industry is just one important part of it.

Maritime transportation is also very important. If the situation is more stable and the Kingdom of Chronos cultivates more talents, it can expand little by little.

Some large ports around the world also fell into the hands of the Chronos Kingdom without being noticed.

The Kingdom of Chronos also built infrastructure in various places and helped some member states build large ports.

In this ocean, if a country wants to develop, in addition to military strength, ports are also an important part of promoting economic development.

Cooperation with the member states will allow the Kingdom of Chronos to more legitimately enter these kingdoms and invest.

What they need is to bring their own kingdom into this trade system.

These kingdoms do not have the ability to do so, are far away from the trade islands, and do not trust some shipping companies on the sea.

Generally, a strong shipping company will not take business that is too far away from the trading island.

The greater the distance, the greater the risk and the higher the cost.

With fewer transport ships these days, they have plenty of options.

Therefore, a shipping company that is willing to take on the transportation business and appears out of nowhere would make them suspicious.

It is obvious that some kingdoms have suffered a lot of losses, which can be heard from the words of these kings and ministers.

Although the trade system of the Kingdom of Chronos can radiate across the entire ocean, its main focus is still in the area near the doldrums.

The southern waters of the North Sea, the northern waters of the West Sea, the northern waters of the East Sea, and the southern waters of the South China Sea.

These sea areas benefited from the trade system of the Kingdom of Chronos and their economy developed rapidly.
