Chapter 627: The Limits of the Growth of Tianshangjin Allied Countries

They value the present more than the distant future.

Due to the unbridled money printing by the world governments, the recognized currency of Bailey has further depreciated.

Compared to thirty years ago, it has depreciated five times.

The chaotic situation in the ocean is due to many factors, including the rise of pirates, the weakening of the World Government and the Navy, and especially the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.

The devaluation of Pele is undoubtedly an important factor.

Today, any devil fruit is worth 100 million berries.

This is just the base price.

The wealth of so many people has been plundered and shrunk without them noticing.

Not only ordinary people, but even the world-class tycoons, all member states, and all forces have been affected.

It can be said that in order to safeguard its own interests, the world government will ultimately have to pay the price borne by the entire ocean.

The Kingdom of Chronos was also affected, after all, a large amount of Bailey was needed for foreign trade. However, the impact was not great. After all, the kingdom began to deal with this trend very early on and minimized the losses.

This is also the main reason why member states are unwilling to increase their share of Tianshang Gold.

All of this is caused by the world government itself.

How can there be any reason to increase the gold in the sky when you have suffered losses yourself?

Currency depreciation causes the value of gold in the sky to decrease, and the world government, which is even more cash-strapped, can only continue to print money, which creates a vicious cycle.

Therefore, in order to avoid the collapse of the world and trigger a huge crisis, the last world conference was held.

It was 1495 in the Haiyuan calendar, which was three years ago.

In order to curb this situation, leading to further depreciation of the currency, and avoid being dragged down by the world government's reckless behavior.

At the World Conference, the world government's right to mint coins was not deprived.

However, the World Bank is directly supervised by its member countries.

Next, if the World Government wants to mint coins, it must obtain the consent of the member states.

With the restrictions of the member countries, Pele will not depreciate further, and the world government will not be able to alleviate its own economic pressure by printing money.

That world conference was a tragic defeat for the World Government, and the power of the member states reached its peak.

This time of letting the situation go is also a strong counterattack by the World Government against the member states.

For eight hundred years, the World Government has used Tenjo Gold to maintain its own development while suppressing the development of its member countries.

There are actually not many kingdoms that can afford to pay the Heavenly Gold without putting too much pressure on themselves.

Most of the member states, in order to obtain enough heavenly gold, will try to transfer the pressure to ordinary people and exploit them as much as possible.

This is the case in most of the member states.

The oppressed people began to rebel, and revolutionary parties emerged on the sea, opposing the existence of the nobility, Tian Shangjin and the Tianlong people.

In this situation, the member states need a world government even more.

This situation lasted for a long time until it was broken by the weakening of the World Government starting in the late Rocks era.

The World Government's counterattack was successful.

The total amount of gold in the sky increased to 10 billion Baileys in one fell swoop.

Judging from the depreciation of Bailey, the total value of Tianshang Gold has not actually changed compared to decades ago.

But it is enough to satisfy the World Government.

The devaluation of Pele and the suppression of member states have resulted in a decrease in the value of the Heavenly Gold that the World Government receives every year.

Overall, it's declining.

In particular, the number of member states was severely reduced during the Rocks era.

Coupled with the chaos in the sea, there are more places where money needs to be spent, and every battle is a money-eating beast.

Many years ago, there were two incidents of gold being stolen from the sky.

To get more heavenly gold.

While keeping the total amount of Heavenly Gold unchanged, the World Government even plans to allow some kingdoms that are close to the country but unable to pay Heavenly Gold to jointly hand over the Heavenly Gold.

If one kingdom is not enough, then two kingdoms or even three or four kingdoms will do.

If this condition is met and the kingdom that hands over the Qi Tian Shang Gold is accepted, it will become a member of the World Government under the name of the United Kingdom, and will be protected by the World Government and the Navy. Several kingdoms can also jointly send a representative to attend the World Conference.

This is just a concept of the world government and has not yet been implemented.

This method would definitely allow them to obtain more Heavenly Gold, and they planned to move forward with this proposal after the war was over.

The current world government does not have the ability to protect so many kingdoms.

The navy needs time to recover, recruit soldiers from around the world after the war, and quickly expand its overall strength to cope with the growing number of pirates.

During the legendary pirate era, the Navy World Government and the Navy had thought about this, but due to military budget constraints and a series of wars, the plan to recruit soldiers from around the world failed.

World conscription requires sufficient financial support.

Without sufficient military spending, the so-called world conscription is nothing but a mess.

Although the time for the World Conference has not yet arrived, each kingdom has already sent representatives to Marijoa.

Amid heated discussions among World Government officials and representatives of member countries.

Although the member states met the World Government's request to increase the amount of Heavenly Gold, it was not unconditional.

Currently, there are only 110 member states of the World Government.

During the thirteen years from the end of the Rocks Era to the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, some member states withdrew from the ranks of member states due to their inability to hand over the Tenjo Gold.

Some even declared extinction directly.

During the six months that the Bondi Pirates wreaked havoc in the West Sea, several member countries suffered serious losses.

Member states can increase their share of heavenly gold.

The time for delivering the heavenly gold was advanced to March of the Haiyuan calendar year 1499, which was more than four months later.

However, thirty percent of the gold in the sky, or thirty-three million baileys, must be used for naval expenses.

The member states are aware that the navy is the most important force in safeguarding their interests.

Therefore, the navy must be restored and strengthened in order to maintain order in major sea areas, maintain trade routes, and protect member states from pirates.
