Chapter 314 Crazy Black Carbon
The news that Zefa was promoted to admiral did not last long.
"Devil" Roger, "Golden Lion" Shisky, and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate started battles one after another.
The battlefield is on an island in the middle of the new world.
The news was exclusively reported by World Economic News, which also recorded some battle footage for everyone who purchased the video phone bug to see.
The kendo tournament is over, and these things have nothing to do with Hades.
After bidding farewell to Redfield, the next main focus will be on the development of the Kingdom of Kronos and the management of the Pluto Sea.
The trade chain proposed by the World Government, the Kingdom of Kronos is also an important link in it.
After all, the Kingdom of Kronos and the World Government have reconciled.
And this matter can also bring greater benefits to Chronos.
The Four Seas and the New World are the main markets for trade in the Kingdom of Kronos.
The first half of the Great Line is smaller.
Even if the Kingdom of Kronos reached an agreement with the World Government, the trade volume was not large.
They need business partners and need to save costs as much as possible.
The formation of a trade chain requires the joint efforts of all parties and cannot be accomplished in just a few months.
The Hilton Kingdom and the Landis Kingdom, both superpowers, will also join in.
But in the end, it still depends on the world government. If the world government wants to profit from it, it must show its ability.
If the Navy cannot clear a safe route, then the plan itself is empty talk and has no meaning.
Next, the Navy's tasks will still be heavy.
With the expansion of the navy, in addition to establishing naval bases on the borders of franchised countries, it is also necessary to establish naval bases around this trade chain.
The navy must have sufficient troops and strength to protect this trade chain.
Next, they were still busy.
If nothing changes, the Navy will officially become the overlord of the sea and the uncrowned king after destroying the Rocks Pirates.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
It has been four months since the Kendo Tournament ended.
The time came to 1488 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The situation in Wano made Hades very concerned.
Just as Hades thought, after a period of silence, more than a year ago, the Black Carbon family couldn't help but start taking action again.
The peace in Wano only lasted for a year and a half.
The Heitan clan spent a lot of money, and originally only a few hundred people could still maintain it.
But now the number of troops on Black Snake Island has reached 160,000, which requires a lot of money to support.
Purchasing food through Wano Country is too easy to be targeted. To be on the safe side, the Heitan clan often purchases food and supplies through the channels of the Pluto Pirates.
The value of these grains and materials is much higher than the market price, which also includes transportation costs.
Logically speaking, through human trade, metal ore trade, and weapons trade from Wano Country, the Black Carbon family has obtained more than 30 billion in funds from the Pluto Pirates.
Such funds can at least allow the Heitan clan to maintain its current power for several decades.
However, they could not resist the expansion of ambitions of the Heitan clan. They secretly developed their power in Wano Country, spent money like water, corrupted and wooed the local officials of Wano Country.
Expand intelligence power and use it to monitor the entire Wano Country.
In addition to finding a way out for the Heitan clan, he built family bases on several islands in the distant sea to develop his strength.
In order to fight against the Wano Kingdom that might discover them, in addition to the constant violence, Black Snake Island was built into a military fortress by the Heitan clan.
The city wall is forty meters high, and a cannon is placed every fifty meters.
The Black Tan clan frantically purchased 800 cannons from the Pluto Pirates.
Including artillery shells, the artillery alone cost almost 3 billion Baileys.
The military fortress is okay. Many ore materials can be obtained directly from Wano.
With a sense of crisis that they would soon be discovered by Wano Country, the Heitan clan armed themselves crazily.
It's like suffering from "fear of lack of firepower"!
The Heitan clan even thought of hiring a group of vicious pirates in the black market.
It is precisely because they know the power of Wano and there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides that the Heitan clan has such a strong sense of crisis.
All I can say is, is it worthy of this nation?
The speed at which the Black Carbon family spent money surprised even Hades.
Although the Kingdom of Kronos spends more money, the size of the two sides is completely different.
Maybe it's because they think it's easy to get money, so they spend so much money.
After all, as long as people are trafficked, money will come in large amounts, and some of Wano's resources and precious ores are not polite to them.
The Heitan clan also realized that their money was being spent a little too quickly, so they couldn't help but start the human trade with the Pluto Pirates.
Sixty thousand people every three months, which is 240,000 a year.
As the Hei Tan clan grows in power, they can do more and more things.
In order to continue the human trade with the Kingdom of Kronos, the Black Carbon family has been preparing for more than a year.
They united with some local wealthy merchants and nobles in Wano to promote the human trading business in Wano, and secretly obtained a large number of slaves.
The Heitan clan also secretly supported a large number of bandits, plundering caravans, plundering wealth, and plundering populations.
It became a major scourge to Wano Country and caused a lot of trouble to the Shogun Mansion and several daimyo.
Of course, the bandits cannot compare with the General's Mansion and the various Daming Mansion in terms of strength, but in terms of mobility, they cannot compare.
With the support of the intelligence power of the Heitan clan, as soon as they get the news, these bandits will run to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, or move to another place to continue robbing.
Although the General Mansion cleared a group of bandits, the number of bandits seemed to be increasing.
The presence of bandits distracted the attention of the daimyo and the general.
The situation in the country of Wano has become chaotic, coupled with the secret manipulation of the Heitan clan, more and more people have lost their money, wives, and land, and more and more people have become bandits.
A large number of human traffickers appeared, and children, especially girls, became their targets.
Relying on the human trafficking within Wano Country and the population plundered by bandits.
The Heotan clan's plunder of Wano's native population is more secretive, more subtle, and difficult to detect.
Within the country of Wano, there are also some colluding forces with relevant interests that provide cover for such dark business.
After all, it’s such a fast way to make money.
It is precisely because of this that the Black Tan clan can provide such a large population for the Pluto Pirates.
The Heitan clan, however, has always been hiding behind the scenes and exerting influence secretly.
