There was a saying: war did not break trade.
Taking it a step further, one could say that war did not break capital either!
What did that mean? Actually, it was very simple. It meant that when war broke out, neither the countries that started the war nor the countries being invaded would stop trading domestically or internationally.
Business still had to be done; it was just that the risks involved were greater than usual! The Peng Joe Empire had launched a despicable war without declaring war. They were destroyers of World Peace and creators of the shadow of war.

As long as both sides of a trade were willing to take greater risks than usual, no one would stop them from conducting legitimate trade.
It was not just ordinary trade. All capital activities were permitted, as long as they remained within the bounds of the law! In Peng Joe, people needed to import things. Most of their resources and roughly processed components came from their subordinate countries.
Some other goods came from other countries. They even imported certain things from the Federation, though of course, they would not openly reveal their identities.
They would register a trading company in a neutral country, purchase the goods, and then transport them into the empire under another name.
This was not something only Peng Joe did. The Federation did it too.
