Chapter 742: Trade System Port Island
New Taipei’s starting point island.
As the name suggests, it is the starting point of the New World leading to the North Sea.
Since there are a large number of islands that are trade ports connecting the four seas, this naming method is used, and it is simple and clear.
When you come here, you can see an incredibly spectacular sight.
The entire island was artificially razed to the ground, leaving nothing in sight.
A large number of porters work on the island.
There are manpower, people operating mechanical cranes, and even members of the giant tribe working on the island.
On the island, there are transport belts that are as dense as a spider web.
A large amount of materials were transported from the port to the island turtles via conveyor belts, saving a lot of manpower.
At the port, cargo ships constantly dock and unload their cargo.
It can be said that on this island, few people can rest and they need to keep working.
Since the locations of the port islands are not far apart, they are connected to form a circle.
Not only is each island guarded by an army of 3,000 men led by an army lieutenant general.
There is an island in the middle of the eight port islands, where an army fortress is located.
Warships can be used to support various islands at any time.
The army general currently in charge of this fortress is none other than the "evil god" Tartarus Barrett.
Now the Kingdom of Chronos's development work in the north has been completed.
The slow outward penetration requires reliance on the navy for development.
The main task of the army is actually to guard.
Here, time is money.
The first thing you do when you arrive at the port island is to register the quantity of cargo, container number, and container placement area.
Then there are special people to take charge.
The sooner you arrive at Harbour Island, the sooner you can depart.
After all, there is a limit to the amount of cargo an island turtle can carry.
Once saturation is reached, the island turtles will set off.
The remaining batch of goods will have to wait for a while.
Although when one island turtle sets off, the other island turtle has almost finished unloading its cargo from the terminal island in the New World.
But loading takes time after all.
It will take about half a month to wait.
This was the scene that the Black Emperor Pirates saw when they arrived at the New Taipei Starting Point Island. On an island where most people were busy, these first-time visitors felt a little at a loss.
Especially Tiqi's feelings are actually deeper.
He worked in the port of Paros for a long time, and it can be said that he studied and worked at the same time.
In his eyes, the port of Paros was already the largest port in the world.
Although he hasn't been to many places.
I've heard of it before, but I never imagined that the so-called trading port island would be so big.
The entire island itself is a port.
After all, the port island was built in the last four years, and the trade system of the Chronos Kingdom reached its peak as a result.
A port island can support nearly 100,000 people, or even more.
At the port registration office, the administrator was somewhat surprised to see the arrival of the Black Emperor Pirates, and his eyes fell on Teach.
But there was no malice.
"Marshall D. Teach? I know you. What kind of cargo do you need delivered?"
"Our ship has sixty-four people."
Lubbock had already learned the procedure in advance, and pointed to their "Pieta".
"Okay, here are the area locations and numbers." The administrator wrote a note and handed it to Lubbock.
The staff nearby was entering relevant information on the computer.
"And the shipping fee, and the shipping fee for you sixty-four people."
The price is not cheap, it costs five million Baileys in total.
But for the Black Emperor Pirates, it's all bearable.
The boat ticket for one person alone costs 30,000 Baileys. This price is not cheap, but it is worth it.
Compared to the boat, the ticket price for people is obviously more expensive.
There are also streets and taverns on the port island to meet the food and accommodation needs of merchant ships and passengers.
The Black Emperor Pirates obviously cannot set off directly and need to wait for about a week.
Above the island turtle, there is a special area reserved for guests planning to travel to the North Sea.
It doesn't look big, but it can accommodate nearly 50,000 people.
After all, in addition to the island turtle's back, the inside of its shell has also undergone some modifications.
Although it is simple and not luxurious, it is completely adequate.
"Has no one thought of plundering the supplies here?"
The members of the Black Emperor Pirates were wandering around the New Taipei Starting Point Island, planning to find a place to rest for a few days while waiting for their departure.
A crew member asked with some confusion.
A large amount of materials from the New World were transported to this island. As far as he knew, it was worth at least tens or even hundreds of billions of Baileys.
Maybe some unknown devil fruit or rare treasure is hidden in one of the containers.
And actually?
Judging from Teach's experience as an "old foreman", it is far more than that. 100 billion Baileys is the minimum.
There are a wide variety of items, some cheap and some valuable.
There are boxes of ore.
Boxes full of guns could even be seen being loaded into containers.
"Oh! Even if it succeeds, how much can you take away?"
Lubbock asked rhetorically.
"Besides, are you ready to be the enemy of the world? These goods come from various forces in the New World."
Lubbock's words undoubtedly dispelled their unrealistic idea.
The mission of the Kingdom of Chronos is to protect and transport goods.
The things were stolen on the territory of the Kingdom of Chronos, so the Kingdom of Chronos is naturally responsible.
However, the Kingdom of Chronos will only bear 20% of the losses.
Looks very domineering.
This is indeed the case with the Kingdom of Chronos.
After all, the current Kingdom of Chronos is the center of world trade, and countless forces rely on the Kingdom of Chronos to gain huge profits.
The whole world is controlled by a string.
Once the Kingdom of Chronos bans a certain force, it will be a devastating blow to that force.
In a sense, the trade routes established by the World Government are dependent on the trade system of the Chronos Kingdom.
Trade routes protect the safe flow of goods.
The Kingdom of Chronos controlled the main distribution channels of materials and occupied a dominant position.
With the establishment of the Chronos Kingdom's trade system, it has become apparent in recent years that world trade has prospered visibly.
The economic strength of each member state has increased significantly.
This is also one of the reasons why member states are willing to increase the amount of gold in the sky.
Even more member states have the ability to pay heavenly gold.
The World Government made a lot of profit from this, all thanks to the Kingdom of Chronos.
In this situation, no matter how demanding the requirements are, various forces still need to rely on trade routes to gain benefits.
The dominant power always lies in the Kingdom of Chronos.
Moreover, they have enough confidence in the strength of the Kingdom of Chronos.
