Chapter 236 Arms Market

Even if Rocks dies, even if the Rocks Pirates are destroyed.

In the four seas, in the first half of the Great Line, and in the entire world, it has left a huge mess to the World Government and the Navy.

The Navy needs to deal with it.

The participating countries will not easily believe in the world government and the navy, and then give up the navy they have worked so hard to build.

Some kingdoms invested an unknown amount of money in building a navy.

Buy warships, buy armaments, and train an army.

After so many years, the navies of many kingdoms have taken shape and have demonstrated considerable deterrence.

Many of the officers of the Royal Navy itself were recruited from the Four Seas Navy, so they were formed very quickly.

In addition, there is a navy template for them to imitate.

However, no matter how they develop, they still don't have that strength. Compared with the navy, they are completely incompetent.

Talent and capital limit their scale.

The Navy costs more money than the Army.

Even so, they have the power to protect the kingdom.

Having a navy means that it has a deterrent effect on pirates on the sea, and ordinary pirates do not dare to offend easily.

This situation reduces the pressure on the navy, but it is not a good thing for the world government and the navy.

The gradual independence of the franchised countries freed them from the shackles of dependence on the world government.

And this yoke took the world government a long time to tie.

Of course, there are not many participating countries that have the ability to build a navy, especially a powerful navy.

Many rely on foreign warships and munitions.

The financial resources consumed are also unbearable for some kingdoms.

Since the rise of the Rocks Pirates, the economic strength of most kingdoms has declined, and they have to support navies like gold-eating beasts.

Just a fleet of ten warships had to be squeezed out through gritted teeth, and even owed a lot of foreign debt.

For such an approach, the World Government's response is naturally to use pirates to consume the maritime power of these participating countries, and then send navy to support.

Through huge losses, these alliance countries gave up their plans to build a navy.

The cost of relying on the navy itself is much lower than building a new navy. This is one of the reasons why many participating countries have not spent energy on building a navy.

However, the member countries that have the ability to build a navy will eventually build one.

The naval strength built by these participating countries is not comparable to that of ordinary pirates.

For example, the Eight Treasure Navy of the Flower Kingdom in the West Sea is a powerful maritime force built by the Flower Kingdom in the name of pirates. It specializes in helping the Flower Kingdom deal with some enemies that cannot be solved by explicit means.

The current world government is still facing internal and external troubles.

It is indeed necessary for the Kingdom of Kronos to put down its hatred towards him.

Things are changing, and the world situation is so chaotic, but the scale of trade in the Kingdom of Kronos is getting bigger and bigger.

The World Government has long noticed it, but it has been restrained by the Rocks Pirates.

What are they here to do now?

It is impossible to just ease relations with the Kingdom of Kronos.

This alone is not worthy of the World Government's personal visit.

Hades could guess a little.

Fengshen Arms Company and Vulcan Arms Company, together with the "King of Arms" in the underground world, have occupied most of the world's arms market.

The impact is huge. As the lethality, range, and accuracy of firearms increase, war becomes more cruel.

However, lower-quality arms were not completely eliminated.

Its performance is also improving, and it still occupies a large share of the world with its low price.

Behind it originally stood the world government.

Maintaining a certain level of chaos, triggering wars, selling arms, and making profits are what the world government has been doing.

However, the world government does not completely regard it as a means to obtain benefits.

The arms they produce are limited and not enough to meet the needs of the entire world. Moreover, they also have to supply the navy and the army.

During these years of war, only a very small part of the arms produced by the World Government could flow to the sea, and most of them were digested internally by the World Government.

This also allows the Kingdom of Kronos to occupy the arms market more quickly.

But now, the share that originally belonged to the world government has been absorbed by others.

In the chaotic sea, the demand for arms continues to increase, and arms manufactured by various forces, large and small, continue to flow into the market, hoping to take part of the market share.

Looking at the increasingly huge market, the world government is obviously unable to sit still.

Some arms manufacturers that focus on certain regions have lower costs than the world government.

After finally breathing a sigh of relief, when I planned to take a large share of the arms market, I found that I couldn't compete at all.

A series of wars have caused world governments to lose share of the arms market.

Now we see huge profits in the arms market.

It would be a little difficult to re-enter.

World government has its advantages.

The existence of the Red Earth Continent allowed them to effectively transport military supplies to the four seas.

With the science and technology of the World Government, today's arms and weapons can be updated at any time.

It's just that in the past, in order to suppress the development of weapons in this sea, the world government did not do this.

In order to deal with the greater threat of pirates and ensure the arms superiority of the World Government and the Navy, the World Government must update the Navy.

After the replacement, the arms produced in the world will definitely rank among the best in terms of quality.

This does not mean that the world government can easily occupy the arms share.

The quality of the arms produced by the World Government will not be higher than that of the Kingdom of Chronos, which has high-precision machine tools and efficient production lines.

The increase in cost will also lead to an increase in price, making it impossible to compete with the lower-priced Fengshen Company and Vulcan Company.

Moreover, each franchise country has already signed trade relations with the two major companies and has a basis for cooperation.

If the Kingdom of Kronos suppresses it, the world government's attempt to enter the arms market will inevitably fail.

If the World Government wants to make small profits but quick turnover, as long as the two major companies also lower their prices, how can the World Government compete?

In other words, the World Government must reconcile with the Kingdom of Kronos, and make Kronos satisfied and not secretly deal with the World Government.

The news obtained in recent days has proven that the world government wants to enter the arms market.

Besides arms, what else?

What else does the world government know?

Wano Country? Fishman Island? Or is it the layout of the Kingdom of Kronos in the new world?

Or an alliance of several major superpowers?
